Hello!
I am fortunate to live in a location where cannabis is legalized for recreational and medicinal purposes. This will be my first attempt at growing as well as constructing a journal- I only have experience with helping friends and observing their grows; therefore I am a beginner. Looking forward to sharing information and growing together! Here is an overview of my intentions, set up, strains, and current cycle. Please give any feedback and ask any questions that come to mind. For my first grow I will be using soil, however, I see myself switching to coco thereafter. What are your thoughts on coco? Do you have a favorite medium mix including coco? Thank you and enjoy!
Intentions:
To grow the highest quality of cannabis within my abilities.
Indoor Set Up:
4' x 4' Mylar grow tent
Two (2) Mars Hydro reflector 144 LED 325 watt lights
ProBreeze Dehumidifier
6" Carbon Filter and inline fan
Holmes 8" Blizzard oscillating fan
Four (4) saucers and 5 gallon pots
Medium: Roots Organics Formula 707 Soil
Roots Organics nutrients including:
- Buddha Grow, Buddha Bloom, Trinity, Surge, Ancient Amber, Extreme Serene, HP2, HPK, Oregonism XL, Uprising Grow, Uprising Bloom, Uprising Foundation and Elemental.
Other misc tools (ask for specific tool preferences if needed)
Other misc general growing controls (again, ask for specific control preferences if needed)
Strains in the form of feminized seeds:
Grand Daddy Purple (GDP) by Blimburn Seeds
CheeseDawg by Big Buddha Seeds
Germination (4 out of 4 success!!):
STEP BY STEP: I placed in separate 1.5 ounce shot glasses two feminized GDP and two feminized CheeseDawg seeds in room temperature water and stored in a dark place for 24 hours. The next day; all four seeds had cracked open. I poured the water into two separate paper towels until fully saturated. I then placed the seeds on the paper towels, folded them together, and placed in a ziploc bag - stored for an additional 24 hours in a warm dark location. All four taproots developed.
GDP #1 - Best taproot
CheeseDawg #1 - Best taproot
Seedlings:
STEP BY STEP: I placed each seedling in a small pot with Roots Organics Formula 707 soil. Watered the seeds with water ph'd at 6.5. I covered the seeds with a plastic lid and placed under lights at 80 degrees F and 50% RH. 24 hours later- all four seeds broke soil. All four plants were in the seedling stage for about two weeks.
Veg:
Transplanted seedlings to 5 gallon pots. All four plants are looking healthy and absorbing their nutrients with pleasure. The CheeseDawg's are distinctly smaller than the GDP's. As for the seedlings with the best taproots; GDP# 2 is currently the better looking plant and CheeseDawg #2 is also the better looking plant.

each 
they must enjoy it.I like your Retro photos
The retro photos are fun- hopefully I'll have some better quality ones up along the way!
I'll definitely follow ya along to see the end results! Man, Super Lemon Haze sure is tasty- as is Super Silver Haze and Amnesia Haze - a few favorites. The GDP is looking better than the Cheesedawg! I topped the plants and one of the GDP responded nicely to it- hopefully they will respond to the LST with ease.
Some flu is going around but feeling a lot better now! AND I have an update!! 
I covered it with more soil - I'm concerned she is shocked.
