This was going to be my first ever grow and for me it was a major step in my life. First of all I have been enjoying cannibus since I was 16 years old and as the years went by it was amazing to see so many different kinds, and the joy of smoking real good bud is amazing. I would have to purchase any of the good around here, and we all know what that is going for on the open market. And most of the Good bud I was getting could not hold a candle to the nugs I have seen in the grow journals.
Due to a very nomatic lifestyle I was never in a secure enough place long enough but to burn one. Also I knew nothing about growing plants and have killed any pottded plant I had owned. I had grown a few seedling in my life but that was it. I made a decision to leave myself made rat race and "go home". Country living with no neighbors. The main goal, to do what I had never seen or done, learn to grow indoors. So I am very use to just jumping into thing, so with both feet we began.
First I read everything I could find, and much of it took months to make sence. You do not know the excitement I felt when I finally learned that you could simply take a cutting from a mature plant and grow another and have a mother plant just to draw from! That to me was like a win win. I became even more excited to realize that the light change is what bring on the magic....and well for all I did not know, or understand, it did not stop me.

Next stop was Home Depot to get some great dirt and other needed supplies. And as many readers know, that just understanding dirt was a big learning curve. On top of that I had 5 tons of fresh compost just sitting in my back yard, I have ten horses. I then read everything I could about the dirt, worm farms and compost tea. Next year I will have my own blend full of need organics and ph range tested.
I live in an area that has no dispencries and growing is highly frowned upon. The seeds I started with were all I could get my hands on and were from several random sourceses. Once the race started I was in for the finish line, but I was still totally swimming in the dark. Once the plants were deep in veg 2 months, and I had done all kinds of evil experiments on seeds and clons and topping and watering, all with out a watch dog or a forumn to help. But I did learn a lot. There was a time when I thought I was smarter than all the growers on line. I would simply take my plants outdoor every day, soak up the free sun and then return them to there 24 hour of light. It was a sad day when several days into my routine I had the sence to reseach the double light question and found I was only stressing the plants way beyond what was fair. Back to the grow room! At this stage I found 420 and this amazing grow jernal. I started to see I was doing many things wrong. I lingered for weeks just reading and reading and reading again. I read the most amazing story of a monster plant, I read stories about people whose lives fell apart in the middle of the grow and the plants were destroyed. This journal has one of the best reality shows going. So I finally got the courage to let some experts look at all my mis turns on the trail and show me the right way. The story continues.
I then ordered the mac daddy seeds that were the real lesson. Around me the knowledge was making sence in all directions but a lot was still unknown. I was facinated by the prospect of humidity and thought about getting a humidity meter when it happened! Another new door opened! You mean to tell me all the guys in the grow journels always mentioned the word ph. Well that doesnt affect me, does it? So the learning goes on and a ph meter is in the mail as I write this.
So I am so deep into this and I cannot turn back. I have dozens of plants that have been under 24 hour lights for almost 2 months. All the different bag seeds were started at different times so there is a huge highth difference between sisters. Heck, I still probably have 10 males lurking in the group ready to rape an unsuspecting female plant.
So to this forum I humbly walk with my mess. At the same time, as the grow began on the inside, I decided to have a few sisters outside to gauge growth patterns between the two locations. Built a special court yard ,out of sight location and put a different group of girls in the sun.
I have since set up a 4x8 grow tent and moved my first bag seed group of plants into 12/12 light sechedule. I never expected much from these seeds and I will be surprised if they are even worth smoking. We will see.
I made my first seed order and that went off very well. Got double the number of seeds I ordered. Not knowing much about all the different monster strains ,I just went with what I knew would be good, Hawaiian maui wooie and super skunk seeds. The seed order was from a web site called Dutch Seed Shop. I think they were very good to me and one of the few that is reasonably priced and accept pay pal. Those seeds were all just stuck in the soil and watered....tried several germanation methods and have not settled on one I like. I hate touching the seedlings. Also at this point none of my many containers of dirt remain untested for ph. I was so worried about not over fertilizing I have only feed a few times. Not knowing that ph is the number to watch. I am on well water and I cannot wait to get home and get my ph meter in the mail and test the water I have been pouring on them for the last three months. Heck it could have a ph of 8 and I have been just pissing in the wind. But on to the grow. Here are some pictures of the plants that will soon go to the 12 12 light schedule. All of these are just bag seed from middle of the road weed.
Now I realize that even with the tutorial I still cannot up load photos. let me keep looking.....
