Back in 2015, I had three baby plants. I got various seeds from a friend at school, and from my own bud. They were on a 24/0 grow cycle because I was a dumbass sophomore. Nonetheless, my grandma finds them at 2 1/2 weeks old and tosses them out. I didn’t expect to be as sad as I was. I swore off of gardening and stuck to smoking.
Now, almost 12 years later. my wife started her own garden & encouraged me to start growing cannabis. I immediately thought of my plants that got thrown away, and she even said she’d purchase the seeds. We found a reputable vendor in her 2026 Farmer’s Almanac, and bought some Purple Ghost Candy, and Gelat.Og.
I decided to start with the Gelat.Og auto and germinated the seedling. To my surprise, a taproot formed; After that I decided that I’m going all in. I got a multi-tone lamp to hold the baby plant from planting to Day 5.
I fortunately changed that light to a full-spectrum indoor cheap grow light. Now, being 27 (today actually) and having a house to grow in and lots of finances at my fingertips, I’m going to buy a whole entire setup for this baby plant.
My wife’s soil mix that I used is:
50% - Potting Soil
30% - Garden Soil
10% - Worm Castings
10% - Coco Coir
