Howdy and thanks for clicking on my journal. This is of course a journal covering my first ever attempt to grow cannabis. I'm still learning the growers lingo and do-and-dont's so please let me know if I fudge up, can't get better if I don't get called out on occasion.
Well anyways I live on a home farm in the middle of nowhere. My wife suffers from crohn's disease and we live in a medical state so I'm growing cannabis to help alleviate her pain. So when grading my progress please remember I'm not shooting for cannabis cup winner, just good quality medicine.
Thanks for reading my ramblings now to the sticky icky grow details:
Strain: ???
Seeds: Just some bag seed (best seeds from my small collection), no need to spend a lot when I could goof.
Location: Indoor / Closet (3.5ft width x 4.2ft length x 7ft tall) (Roughly 12sq ft) (102.9 cubic ft interior)
Medium: Soil
Mix: 4:1 Organic potting soil to Perlite
Pot Size: 3 Gallon Plastic Nursery Pots
Lights: 1x 400w HPS/MH + Ballast with a basic four sided horizontal reflector (No Cool Tube Yet)
Ventilation: 1x 4" inline fan, 1x 6" inline fan, 3x clip on fans, 1x oscillating tower fan (240 cfm total)
Odor Control: Onablocks and 2x 2000 cubic ft ozone generators
Now a picture on how I plan to setup the grow room:
*The 4" Inline fan will be used to pull hot air out, when I get some more funds I will install a second.
*The 6" Inline fan will be used to get new cold air into the grow space.
**(Both fans will be installed into flanges so If I need to setup duct work later I can just slip it on.)
*The hooks are right behind the door so I can hang a mylar tarp to help keep outside light from getting in.
*There are hooks already in the ceiling to support the light once I get it.
Most of my grow supplies are on their way to me (Will be in by next week tops), had to space out purchases for reasons you can all guess.
Now to the plants:
Some quick bits before the photos. I decided to start these plants on a whim so they haven't been getting what they really need and I already apologized to the plants . Anyways I started them off in a wet paper towel (will never do that again btw) until i read up and realized how risky that was for the plant, so I ran down to the local lowes and grabbed some seedling starters (what they are in now). I slapped on some gloves and a mask and proceeded to made a sterile environment in my bathroom (a lot like inoculating mushrooms). I then transplanted the little seeds with tiny root to the new medium. After a few days the root shot out the top of the medium, I though shit they are upside down. After fixing them in a sterile environment I put them back on my window seal (Hence the stretching). Today i fixed another that was upside down, it's the one that looks like a small green bean on the dirt. So without anymore babble babble here they are...
*I just put seeds in the ones that have no growth, I expect to see a plant there in a week if they take.
So this is as far as I have gotten. As soon as my gear gets in I will update my journal. Once again thanks for taking the time to read my journal.
