Welp, here it goes... Here is my first grow journal. My experience of growing only began this year in 2021 due to this pandemic and me working from home. I got a tent, a light, a fan some soil in a pot and a freebie seed and it is producing some very under-impressive herb.
I have since bought some fertilizers and new lights and am excited about my official second grow. Here are the specs:
Tent 2x4x5 kept in my garage, next to my office workspace. I have no intake fan or a/c but I do have a small humidifier if needed. It has been a crazy hot summer here in southern California and I would venture to guess the garage reaches highs of about 85°f.
Pots: Two 5gal bag pots.
Medium: 75% Fox Farm Ocean Forest
20% Happy Frog
5% Perlite
Lights: Viparspectra P600 dimmable, P1000 dimmable and optional no-name blurple 600w (actual 67w)
Nutrients: Recipe420 veg and bloom/DIY calmag and
Megacrop
Seeds: Fast buds Six-Shooter auto (70 days flowering) and Barney's Farm Wedding Cake auto (70-75 days flowering)
Water: Tap water (unknown pH. Paper strips say 6.8)
Small stationary fan
I will be starting with the paper towel method and then planting into 1gal and then into the final 5gal container.
The experiment will be between two Nutrients with two strains. (I know, humor me, I'm just having fun)
I'll do the Six-Shooter with Recipe420 and the Wedding Cake using MegaCrop, totally arbitrary.
The seeds were placed in paper towels and ziplock bags and have begun the process.
I have been reading and learning a lot on here but that doesn't mean I know what I'm doing. Please feel free to offer your experience if you see me going down the wrong path.
I'm looking forward to this journey.
