Prospero’s Grow: Week 2: All Going Well and Nutrient Advice

After 10 days of growing two plants in my closet using a single light, I’m happy to report that everything is going well.

As mentioned in the first part of this on going account of growing my own marijuana in a studio apartment closet in Denver, one of the biggest challenges I faced when first setting up the closet was heat- being a closet, there was no natural ventilation. Luckily the blower and ducting I installed has indeed been sucking the hot air out of the closet and continually circulates fresh air. Incredibly, the temperature has been averaging above 80 F with the light on, which is still maybe slightly too warm but still just fine.

While it’s still definitely too early to call, the small growth already seen in the first few weeks using the Other Tomato organic nutrients is very positive. I’ve been careful not to overdo it, only feeding the plants every 4 days or so; one of the most common tips I’ve gotten is to go easy on both the nutrients and even the water. Many growers have already told me to let the plants dry out; over-watering will not end up with a good final result.

I’m most definitely going to use a booster in a few weeks when I start the flower phase. Based on advice other grower’s I trust, I’ve been considering Nirvana or Bud Candy from Advanced Nutrients.

Do any growers out there recommend a good soil/soil less booster for flower stage? Let me know in the comment section below!
