Hello everyone! At first I didn't want to do a grow journal, but I have more free time than I expected so here it goes. First ever grow, started from clones.
I just started week 2 of flower so here's the whole catching up part.
I am currently growing...
1x Tora Bora
1x Purple Kush
1x Holy Grail
1x Cannatonic
2x Gorilla Glue #4
2x Blueberry Headband
I'm using 3x Mars Hydro Reflector 96's for lights and that's it for lights.
This is an older pic, and since then the carpet has been removed.
The nute's I'm using are General Hydroponics and I PH the water to about 5.9 everytime. I use nute's for one feeding, then PH'd water for the next one and so on.
The grow room is in my basement and I partitioned off part of it, framing an area in 2x4's and covering it with black and white plastic. There is a dehumidifier in there that's set at %50-55.
Started out with 4 clone's, 1 each of the Tora Bora, Purple Kush, Cannatonic and Holy Grail.
About a week later, a friend gave me the other clones of Blueberry Headband and Gorilla Glue that were still in rockwool, so I had to wait for those to take root. I didn't want to get too far behind from my other strains, so I transplanted the GG#4 a little bit early and it grew funky for a few weeks sprouting only like one or two leaves here and there but now it's doing much better. Total time for veg for the first 4 was about 6 weeks and the last 4 were at 4 weeks.
I took clones about a week ago and they are doing just fine I think.
I've topped all of the plants and did some fan leaf trimming at about 4 weeks. A week later I fimmed everything I could, and wish I did it earlier so I could trim more leaves off but I will remember that for the next grow. I also originally was setup to do a timer based feed, but had to get rid of that due to height restrictions. With the table I made for it, my lights were at about as high as they could go so there was no room for stretch. Speaking of lights, for the first 3-4 weeks I had my lights set at about 12" from the tops and I believe it slowed down the growth. They are pretty short plants at about a foot tall now, but the stalks are like tree trunks. Since then I now keep them at about 18-20" from the tops. I have a scrog set at 10" and a couple plants are really even filling it out good yet. Also another thing I will keep in mind for the next grow.
Everything has gone surprisingly smooth. I've had no real issues besides a couple plants growing too quick and getting slightly twisted leaves for a bit.
For now I will leave with a couple of pics from day 1 of week 2 of flowering.

Thanks for having a look. This will not be updated with every little thing I do, but I will update with anything major and of course with the final results. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I will try and answer the best I can as I'm sure I left quite a bit out.

The cannatonic isn't showing yet, and it's still the shortest of the bunch. I thought it was going to be huge since the clone I got was shaped like a trident and had 3 main stalks but I'm still pretty happy with it. I don't think the strain is a huge yeilder anyways. The Tora Bora and Holy Grail have a ton of bud sites forming with the Blueberry Headband trailing behind. Was also hoping for more on the Purple Kush as well, but that initially was the runt of the bunch when I got the clones.
Congratulations.
