Ok so my goal for this journal will be to grow some good meds(obviously). While at the same time following my recovery from some serious mental health issues.
A place where we can share our struggles and insights into personal growth and recovery and if that doesn't work at least we have a grow journal.

Day 1
I'm starting with a small unrooted cutting of purple bud in a solo cup under a humity done and the mars TS 1000

 

[HighFPsychopath]

So I decided to start a new grow and give A journal a try. I've been growing on and off again for a few years and only about 6 months ago I got rid of my old grow kit because my life was getting too busy to keep up the hobby. Long story short I have been off work on medical leave due to mental health issues related to major depression, complex ptsd, borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder so while I'm in treatment and recovery I'll have more than enough time on my hands to grow some (Hopefully) great medicine and maybe some of my recovery.

Day 3
Not much going on but she's still alive.

 

[HighFPsychopath]

Trying to decide on a tasty sativa strain.
Any suggestions?

Hey Psycho...

I'm looking at purchasing this LED...I've read mixed reviews. Does it get hot in your opinion? Are you using a sealed tent or an open room?

Cheers,
PNW

 

[HighFPsychopath]

I'm starting back from scratch again so no tent yet. it's in an open room it does give off some heat the driver is about 50 c but as long as you have airflow you'll be fine.

 

[HighFPsychopath]

I'm really a fan of this light I used to run 2 purple 300w (130ish) from the wall and I bet this light will work just as well for me but id like to add the 2000 at some point.

 

[PacificNorthWest]

Sweet! good luck. I'm subscribing to your journal. I'll be starting mine in a few weeks.

I'm going to buy this LED. Then going to start 4 sativas to finish outside...4 blueberry to finish inside in the tent, and a few auto's just to satisfy my needs early.

Have fun!

Day 8
Not much going on she's still alive though.

 

[HighFPsychopath]

So... I ordered some seeds and I'm gonna add another to the mix when they get here.cant decide between

1. C99 x blueberry.
2. G13 haze.
3. Pineapple express auto.

 

[PacificNorthWest]

Where did you order the seeds from? I'm still patiently waiting for my seedsman order. Also I just bought the Mars Hydro TS 1000 from amazon. Should be arriving soon.

Man that Blue Gelato looks delicious.

 

[HighFPsychopath]

Yes I ordered from seedsman too so I'll have a bit or a wait.
Good to hear it's a great light for only pulling 150w in sure you'll be happy with it.

 

[HighFPsychopath]

Hopefully customs in Canada aren't still taking seeds I opted out of delivery insurance.

Day 14
So... not going as planned she still doesn't have roots due to cold temps, soil was soaked so I moved it into new soil.

 

[HighFPsychopath]

Some old stuff.
