Hi All,
Well I thought I would start a Journal to track my progress and my grow, I grew before, about 10 years ago but stopped due to becoming too busy. My current set up is a 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 ft space in a cupboard to veg using 3x 25w fL and 1 54w cfl lights on 24hours. Then a budbox XL tent with 600W HPS for flowering. The seeds are Jack Herrer feminised and 2 extra unknowns from seed from some good weed.
I started the grow at the beginning of the year and 3 of the 5 JH seeds germinated sucessfully 1 didn't get out of the seed and another was a no show. At 2 weeks old my cat ate the 3 JH seedlings and left the unknowns (Typical) setting me back a little in time as I had to order some more seeds and start again. So at this point the JH seedlings are 5 days old and the 2 unknowns 1 month. The 2 unknowns were yellowing badly and their growth stunted. I was using top soil from the garden centre and I suspect that the PH is off (I have yet to buy a PH tester will get one this week) So I flushed the pots with fresh water and then fertilised a little. This picked them up and got them growing again. I since switched the topsoil for a growbag both topsoil and growbag mixed with 25 - 30% Perilite though one of the JH seedlings are showing slight yellowing on the first leaf set. I have given them a tiny bit of fertiliser just to see if that perks them up as I figure the perilite will lock up the excess by a little I mean 10% of what the directions stated.
The ferts I am using is Phostrogen all purpose as this was what I used in the past with good results though I never had to feed them this early in the past. Though looking at this again I may switch ferts as it is NPK 14 10 27 plus trace elements so high in potassium.
The unkown plants I intend to move into flower this week so I know what they are before the JH is ready to go in case I have a male or heme. Pics to follow later on today as I have taken them from the start of the grow....

I'm actually growing Light of Jah right now and I understand that Light of Jah has been bred from Jack Herer.
