This is my first time trying to grow & obviously my first grow journal! It's been a rough ride to start, here to show the troubles of a first attempt and just maybe....hopefully a recovery!

The start of my first roller coaster journey definitely came with some rough and nerve wracking moments but I am sure that's only the tip of the iceberg ! I've always been interested in this aspect of marijuana, being able to smoke something I can say I spent my personal time in growing from beginning to end and not having to rely on someone else at all or at least less often than I am now has been a goal in my mind for a while but only recently have been able to start jumping into it.
Day 1
Excited me had 11 Death Bubba seeds from a bag of weed I purchased at least 5 years (+) ago. Kept them all this time in hopes that one day I could try my butt at getting them germinated and growing. Had a friend tell me I could just soak them in water for 24 hours and plant straight into the dirt...(if only I had checked myself beforehand) Which is what I did, sadly the dirt I purchased from my local grocery store was infested with gnats and being that I am horrible with watering and over water way to much I made the perfect breeding ground for them and lost 9 of my seeds. Vanished, never to be seen again! One of them is the one I have now, slowly growing but its a good way to get my hand on the many issues I have but most new growers have it seems. The other I left the seed shell on a couple days too long thinking it was going to come off on its own, it did not and when I did it was already dead.
Day 1 - Before all the back ordered equipment finally showed up!
Constantly over watered plants. I've gotten a lot of great advice for this, still trying to get a hold of my water issues!! Probably being stuck at home on lock down is NOT helping it. ( Help Section Post - Over watered? )
Slightly Prettier Over Watered Picture...if they exist lol (June 4th 2020)
I was too worried about over watering that I went to the opposite direction.
Next issue that came up was, root-bound! I should of up-potted it sooner but I didn't consider it needed it with its size, I was corrected! Up-Potted to 13.6L (3.6gallon).
This is my girl as of June 11th, she's still small but with all the abuse I've dished out she's still alive! As I said trying to get a hold on my issues before investing in proper seeds. I also have 2x Cookies and Cream & 2x Pink Gas bag seeds to play with. Does this little girl still have a chance??
A month into this grow I was finally able to get the equipment I had ordered! I'm also overly organized
Fusion Hut 1.75x3x5 and my little shelf with everything I might need and space for more!
Mars Hydro Ts600
Preferred temps & humidity, light distances for my LED. Also calendar to keep track of my feedings!
6 hour Temp and humidity check done daily. Just two fans at the moment, keeping track for future requirements.
That's all the updates we have for now, I will keep posting here weekly with updates and new pictures. Input, advice or just a Hello is always appreciated! New to the community but already can tell this is an amazing & welcoming place. The replies to issues and damn quick replies sometimes makes me think I shall be here for a long time. Until the next update!
