Hey There 
,
We're 2/3 of the way through our first grow, but I thought I would share a recap of our progress as we near the end of our flowering cycles.
Info:
Outdoor grow in SF Bay Area, CA
One plant each of 5 different strains. Clones were purchased from our local dispensary:
Dream Queen (30% Indica / 70% Sativa)
Cookies (60% Indica / 40% Sativa)
Blueberry Muffin (80% Indica / 20% Sativa)
Blackberry Fire (70% Indica / 30% Sativa)
Sour Diesel (10% Indica / 90% Sativa)
Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Nutrients: Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow, Bloom and Cal-Mag; Emerald Harvest Cali Pro Bloom A/B, King Kola, Honey Chome.
We bought 3 of the plants on 4/28 and then two more on 5/24. Started them in quart sized pots. We kept them indoors for the first 4 weeks using my two cheap-o $15 flourescent grow bulbs. 18/6 light cycle.
After a week of hardening off, we transplanted them into 10 gallon Smart Pots and moved them outdoors.
Above pic is Blueberry Muffin 6 weeks from clone purchase.
We alternated approx every other day - hose water and grow nutrients. We followed the recommended mix ratios from the container, which ultimately ramped up to 20ml per gallon (Botanicare Grow).
One early mistake we made was under estimating how much room these girls would need. By July, Sour Diesel started showing signs of being root bound, so we transplanted her into a 25 gallon Smart Pot. She appreciated the extra room for her roots.
First pic is on 6/25 at 8 weeks old in 10 gallon pot (47 inches tall). 2nd pic is on 7/21 at 12 weeks old in 25 gallon pot (71 inches tall).
This post is getting a little lengthy so I'll continue with Part 2 on the next post
