This is the diary of my first cannabis grow and I would like to share my experience with you nice people on this forum.
I’m not telling any of my mates about this grow for obvious reasons, so I need to talk about it with someone or I’ll go mad. Only my girlfriend knows, and that’s only cos we live together, so I’ve got little choice there really.
I plan to document the entire process in this grow diary. I wanted to share my experience in confidence with other like minded peeps and would be very grateful of help/advice along the way from you experienced growers out there. Respect and fair play to you all!
I love my herb and have wanted to grow my own stuff for years, but never really did anything about it…..till now!!!
My main motivation, apart from my love of this beautiful plant…...is this so called “grit weed” that has flooded and ruined the UK marijuana market!!! See this article:

I could rant about this shit for ages cos it makes me sooooo angry, but that is not the purpose of this thread, so I will leave it there and get back to my grow…..BUT DON”T SMOKE THIS GRIT SHIT!!!!
I have chosen to attempt to grow a feminised Snow White Indica/Sativa mix, purchased from Nirvana seeds. Reason for this choice after much deliberation….mostly because it said “good for beginners”! HA! I fuckin’ hope so!
I plan to grow in a top quality organic potting soil and will be using organic nutes when needed. My growing area is just a regular office stationary style cupboard.
My Check List:
10 x Snow White Fem Nirvana Seeds
1 x Office Stationary Cupboard (W 790mm, D 400mm, H 1597mm)
1 x Single Envirolite Reflector
1 x 125W Envirolite (blue - growth)
1 x 125W Envirolite (red - flowering)
6” Oscillating Fan (air circulation)
2 x 80cm PC Fans connected to variable DC adapter (ventilation)
Reflective Sheeting
Soil Moisture/ PH Meter
Canna Professional Potting Mix
Organic Nutrients etc for different stages of growth (Brand undecided)
PH Water tester (still to get)
Rubber Matting (for base of cupboard)
Various size pots!
From this setup, I hope to be able to mature and flower 4 healthy female plants…..now, lets see how it goes……..
