Hello ICMag community. Low post count and no rep but I've been lurking; of course I'm still a noob and appreciate the help you guys so kindly give out. Good to be here. Sup Ninja!
Groovy. Now that the formalities are out of the way, I'm about halfway through my first grow; Nirvana NL started with chems (Lucas Micro and Bloom ratio) but now just transplanted into organic. I gotta admit, I think living by principles nowadays is going to kill both my plants and I :/
So, while I'm waiting for the NL to recover, I'm planning on starting a Nirvana White Widow in coco. I'm doing this because my partner, whom I love dearly, seems to benefit from strains high in resin (it's a weak hypothesis, certainly, but this is what it looks like from my perspective). I've got chronic major depression, but seeing her in dysthymic states kills me, so I'm trying to get this going asap for her. Given the speed I've seen plants grow in coco, I figured this would be a good way of hedging my bets on having a supply ready before December if something bad happens to the NL.
My question to you, ICMag community, is whether to go with chems for the WW or organic. On principle, I'd go with organic, but for pragmatic purposes of speed and yield, are chems the better option?
Right now, I have a 2 gallon smart pot holding coco I've run several gallons of (tap) water through for rinses and have run about a liter of RO water with 1/2 a tbs. of Epsom salt through. I'm waiting for my CalMag+ to come tomorrow before I even consider it ready. Have I missed anything? Are there any suggestions for a better set-up that doesn't involve pumps or tables (it HAS to be handwatered this grow because I don't have the luxury of space for a SOG or even a table). It's always about the stealth in my unfortunately backward land
Much respect to all of you guys. It's a beautiful thing going on here, and I want to be able to contribute in the future. I figure the only way I'll be able to do that is to learn on my own using the advice you guys give. Thank you all for your collective time and effort.
Respectfully,
JohnQQ
