FIRST GROW
My current and first grow consists of 6 Kosher Kush from Reserva Privada, 1 OG Kush from DNA Genetics and 1 Cannalope Kush from DNA Genetics.
Here is a little run down of what has happened in the short life of these beautiful ladies.
10/22/2012 — Began germination; the seeds were submerged in tap water for 20 minutes and then inserted in peat pots filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil. The germination station maintained ideal temperatures between 70°F to 77°F.
10/24/2012 — Two days into germinating the first sight of cotyledon's emerged from the soil.
10/26/2012 — 18/6 light cycle began. Up until this point the plants were enclosed in a germination station to help increase humidity. The temperature was always kept between 80°F to 85°F and around 70% humidity.
10/31/2012 — I transplanted them into 1 gallon pots. First, I heavily sprayed the peat pots with water and crumbled the pot a bit and placed them directly into the soil. Once I was done I generously watered them.
11/16/2012 — The first time feeding with nutrients. I used less than half of the recommended dose as directed in the feeding chart by Fox farms nutrients. As of right now I've used big bloom but now, in the vegetative state I will be using both big bloom and grow big. I will be watering under the recommended dose every other watering.
One of the 6 Kosher Kush was deformed, it was not creating more internodes only making a deformed top fan leaf.
11/17/2012 — The deformed Kosher Kush was topped right before the first internode, the deformed top of the plant did not let any internodes grow, all the growth was on some deformed top leaves. The two tops are vigorously growing and looking "normal."
11/21/2012 - All the plants were fimmed except the one plant I let my girlfriend FIM and she FIMMED' and topped the plant. They were all fimmed between the 5th and 6th internode with a sterile scissor.
11/24/2012 - Started to LST the ladies for SCROG.
I am currently really high so I'm going to go ahead and post/edit and add pictures to this comment tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy my first grow journal.

Before I start babbling about my grow I would like to express what I am looking to get out of growing. I am not a cash cropper even though I do enjoy quantity, but my main goal is to have high quality medicine and also be able to truly see the genetics of the strains I will be choosing. I really want to see if I will ever be able to grow medicine that I can hands down say "I prefer this over my local dispensary medicine".Here is a little run down of what has happened in the short life of these beautiful ladies.
