Hello Guys, I am moudak from Egypt, I have been smoking since 13 years ago...But I only started growing 3 months ago. I got these seeds from 6 different Sinai strains bought from different dealers, most of them don't know each other, except for 2. In Egypt all the farmers are uneducated Bedouins they don't separate males from females so we end up buying weed with seeds. So I planted some of them and these are the pics of them. I hope I am doing something good. I included pics of my nutes that are available in the Egyptian market. For lights I use CFL's 1 x 55, 1 x 85, 1 x 105 I started germinating on the 24'th of September and now I am in week 7 now. I only received the PH, TDS, Hygrometer 5 days ago. I found out a lot of missing info, so I calibrated everything accordingly. From climate including the RH% rate to the Celcius degree and checking the PH of the water, So I changed everything to be as follows: * RH% 55% almost it varies from 52 - 55%. * 23 Celcius mainly from 21 - 23 * 550 ppm in the water with the nutes * 6.8 mainly from 6.5 - 6.8 so you will find a better change in the yellowing color in the bottom leaves the earlier generated ones from the first levels. I always spray them 2 a day with water and silicate to preserve them from the weather change. I open the fan while in light ( 16 ) hours. I open a 0.5 cm from the window in the background for ventilation and I spray the mylars frequently to reserve some humidity in the air trying to push to 55%. Please note that its very very and I repeat very difficult to get stuff like for example Humidifier, dehumidifier, worm castings, blood meal, bat guano, bat manure, clay pellets, rock wool, net pots, EVEN the word HYDROPONICS is like alien to 99.99999999% to any Egyptian. I went to the agricultural college to ask about anything to relate to it I didnt find except they are only exposed to this word except for a paragraph in one of their courses. I just want to tell it's very hard to deal with high tech even with old school stuff. So I am doing my best just to explore and understand and will do my best to be introduced to Hydroponics soon I am gathering a list and I will order them online. I already received my flowering light online 180 x 3w 60 degree full spectrum and 5 x 5w total 570W LED I hope it does the job will keep u posted. will repot them in compost, peat moss, perlite mixture 1:1:1 in 5 gallon CLAY pots I hope this will do something about the respiration of the soil. I am planning to go to the workshop of the clay pots and ask them to make some small pellets and try them, you can imagine the hassle of finding everything and try to find the origin of the thing to change there minds about doing it ur way. So much writing with J in your mouth and closing one of my eyes avoiding the smoke entering my eye . Please tell me what do u think about it...waiting for your replies Peace out. moudak
