First timer here! I started 2 seeds off on my own website doing a journal 3-4 weeks ago but I somehow (well I know how) killed 2 seeds because I do not have a green thumb. So I figured I will post here to a) get some tips, and b) show people just because why not.
Before I get to my journal, I will say how weed has helped me. I do not actually like smoking it. At all. I hate the taste. Vaping it has helped with that though. And since I have a high tolerance for things going into my body, pills just don’t work for me. The reason I eventually decided to try smoking weed was because of a neck injury and with that insomnia came because of pain. I couldn’t sleep for more than 15 – 30 minutes before I woke up. It wasn’t just a wake up and turn over and go back to sleep. It was a wake up, get up, stretch or go get ice or heatpads, and then get back into bed 15 minutes later. I was surprised how well it worked for me the first night. I got some indica from the local dispensary after doing some research for pain/insomnia. But I was getting tired of paying $15-$25/g and figured I should have a go at growing it myself. So I did!
So with that, here is my first timer grow journal! I will update this post as it grows (hopefully this does better than my last 2!)
This grow is a 99% (other than water/papertowel) outside in a pot grow. No indoors, no lights, etc. So please don't recommend that.
I plan on doing this with as minimal interaction as possible. I don't have the green thumb as mentioned before to do all the ph testing, etc that I have read about. I'm simply trying a set it and forget it approach. I don't care about maximizing high yields etc yet. Maybe in the future. I will be bringing the pot inside when the nights get below 10°C
Starting details:
Seed: Crop Kings auto-flowering feminized Early Miss

Day 1: May 14th 2018
- It went into the cup of room temp water at 7:00pm. I will call this one Lolo. (previous 2 that died were layla and lola, I don't know why I chose these names)
Day 2: May 15th 2018
- Took the seed (Lolo) out of the water at 15 hours and placed it in the paper towel. Keeping paper towel moist all day. Checked Lolo at 9:00pm and it cracked open.
Day 3: May 16th 2018
- Lolo has cracked open with a root coming out. It's about 3/8" long. God I hope Lolo works. Keeping paper towel moist.
