Please feel free to read the short informational text below if you don't think that you might feel uncomfortable with the subject that this file might present to you. ************************************************************************* * SECOND DISCLAIMER: The views presented here are _not_, and I repeat, * * ------------------ _not_ the views of the group underground eXperts * * united as a whole, but the views of the author, as a human being, * * thinking and acting as a free individual, how hard that may be in a * * society where there are laws like the one that says that you have to * * have your headlights on, on your vehicle, whenever your drive it. It * * doesn't matter that it's in the middle of summer, the sun is shining * * bright in the sky, it's noon. No, turn on those headlights or you're * * stopped by the police at sight. Great law that huh? Anyway, where was * * I. Oh yes, I'm not telling you to go out and buy something like a few * * pots (as wide at the top as the bottom), a couple of fluorescent * * lights (like the Philips SGR 200 ballast with the Philips SON-T * * AGRO, 400W high pressure sodium bulb), rope (for fixture of the * * lights), aluminium foil (for reflectors on the walls surrounding the * * growing area), good seed (like the Northern Lights with a flowering * * time of 45-50 days, height up to 125 cm and yield up to 125 gr), soil * * (sandy with as little clay or no clay at all) with a neutralized ph, * * that is, not too acidic and not too alkaline, and some natural * * sterilized fertilizer. I'm not telling you to wash / clean the pots * * thoroughly if they have been used before, cover the drainage holes * * with some newspaper or something, cover the bottom of the pot with * * sand (to about 5 cm from the bottom), fill it up to about 4 cm from * * the top with the soil mixture (1 kilo soil with 200 gr fertilizer), * * water the pots until the soil is evenly moist, and then let it stand * * for a day or two, either. And I'm definitely not telling you to soak * * the seeds in a glass of water overnight, add about 10 ml bleach to * * the water to prevent fungus from forming on the seeds, then make * * holes about 2-3 cm deep and evenly spaced in the soil for the seeds, * * place one seed with the pointed end up in each hole and cover it with * * soil, carefully moisten the soil and keep it moist until the seeds * * have sprouted which can take about 5 days, but also up to 21 days, * * depending on the seeds and hang the lights as close to the top of the * * pot as possible leaving them on for twenty four hours a day until the * * seeds have sprouted. I won't continue to tell you to hang the lights * * about 10-20 cm over the top of the plants once they have sprouted and * * to maintain this distance for the rest of the growing time. I will * * also leave you clueless to the importance of the day/night cycle the * * plants need once they have sprouted, that is, to leave the lights on * * for eighteen hours a day, and off for six hours a day during the rest * * of the growing time, and that the soil should go through a moist/dry * * cycle, that is, if the soil is dry about 5 cm down, it needs water, * * but not too much, that is, water should not come out of the drainage * * holes when added to the soil, and to be careful with the quality of * * the water, as it can change the ph of the soil if it's acidic, * * sulfurous or alkaline or kill the natural micro organisms in the * * soil if it is chlorinated (as it is in some areas of this country). * * So I won't tell that chlorinated water can be used if it is allowed * * to stand overnight, and that adding hydrated lime (15 ml lime w/9.5 * * dl water) if the water tested acidic will take care of that problem. * * And I won't even consider ending this disclaimer with the advice to * * separate plants once they crowd each other in the pot, the easiest * * way being to carefully move each plant to its own pot, and to let you * * know that there will be a sequel to this disclaimer not telling you * * what to do when it's harvest time. * ************************************************************************* Oh, just stop it and legalize the damn plant, okay?! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #279 Underground eXperts United 1995 uXu #279 Call SECRET TECTONICS -> +49-40-823326 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
