Hello, and welcome to my first grow and first grow journal.
Project Odyssey is my first attempt at growing cannabis naturally. This means I will only be using soil, water, sunlight and love. The project began on July 4th, 2013 and it consists of four seeds of an unknown strain. Each seed was planted in its own container filled with all purpose potting soil. Since I have no way of identifying each subject by strain, I have taken the liberty of naming each of my operatives; Achilles, Hector, Priam and Patroclus.
All growing will be done indoors in an area of my living residence where the plants will receive on average around 6-7 hours of morning sunlight each day, and will remain in a well lit area for the remainder of the day.
So far Achilles, Hector and Priam have all begun to sprout. I dug up Achilles and replanted the sprout about a half inch under the surface of the soil. Both Priam and Hector had over an inch of sprouted stem showing already, so instead of burying them completely, I just replanted them until only the tip of the sprout remained above the soil. This is to promote a healthy base for my plants. Still no activity from Patroclus. For watering I plan on keeping an eye on the soil, making sure it's damp, but not saturated with water. I will be watering about every 3-4 days depending on how the soil looks.
As I stated earlier, this is my first time growing cannabis so I'm really just relying on what I already know about gardening in general. I know lights and fertilizers are required for maximum crop output, but I'm not really gunning for a high yield, this is more just for fun and to see if I can do it.
Any comments, questions, concerns and tips are highly welcomed! I want to ensure the survival of my plants, and I will do my best to keep this journal updated. Thank you!
