I walked into the room thinking, hmmm Weed Seed Express, I have been wanting to try their genetics for a while. So hey why not, I will give this a go. Then I look around and was humbled to realize the caliber of growers present and continuing to flow in. It was then that I realized I am quite likely to embarrass myself and wondered what I got myself into.
Well, I am here now so might as well just go for it. I will be dropping all 12 beans received from Weed Seed Express.
The following will be my feeble attempt at a comparison grow
To start off I would like to thank @Weed Seeds Express and 420 Magazine for taking the time to put this together. I am humbled to be among the selected to take part in this opportunity.
My planned process:
Sprout in paper towel
Move to cups when tap roots emerge a bit
There will be one up pot from the cups to 5 gallon containers.
8 will go into my 4x8 under 4 TSL 2000 to flower out.
4 will likely go outside around the end of May.
I will top all at about the 7th node leaving about 4 nodes each.
As they veg I will remove a top or two here and there to help keep the tops even, or even an entire node if necessary.
About 1 week before flower I will lollipop them all and select at least 3 cuttings of each to attempt to clone. The ones destined for outdoors will likely be just left as is with only removing a few cuttings to attempt clones.
Clones will all be labeled so I know which came from each mother.
I will likely keep just one clone from each plant because of count limits. The rest will likely be given away to other growers in the area.
My favorite pheno or two will be selected which I will make an attempt to create feminized seeds from.
Likely to flower off all the remaining clones in a SOG style if they have not got too big yet or found a new home.
Soil will be used throughout. It is a basic mix of 2 parts organic potting soil and 1 part each of perlite and peat. Tap water with basic soluble fertilizer every watering then garden lime or Epsom salts added as needed.
Those are my basic plans and goals. I may or may not change them based on need, space, or whim.

Great to see more journals kicking off now. Looking forward to seeing your grow.
