Disclaimer:
so previously i proved to be too erratic and disorganized with myself to commit to a grow journal and not get distracted going off on other tangents. BUT THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE!.
i will keep you informed, this will be updated weekly. and you will see pics with each post!
that is the jbrown guarantee!
so here is the down-low:
first we have a jack herer clone i have been growing to replace my old mother which is flowering as we speak.
and the stars of the journal who we will follow through flowering are the 6 northern lights XShiva crosses i have aquired from nirvana seeds through the attitude(lovin the breeder packs, and lovin the stealth)
both strains are in a medium consisting of 2 parts FF ocean forest, 2 parts FF Happy Frog, 1 Part Pearlite
the plants are 8-10" under a 2' 4 bulb t5 with 6500k bulbs putting out a little under 8000 lumens of high efficiency florescent light
i run a box fan on low circulating air into the chamber about 12-16 hours a day.
here is the info on the individual strains that i will be updating weekly and todays info:

height(min-max): 5"-7.5" feeding
-fresh water 6.0 ph with 10ml diamond nectar, 5 ml sweet, 1 ml floralicious plus{watered them yesterday}
- foliar spray twice a week (50ml diamond nectar, .25ml floralicious plus, 950ml water ph 6.0) only once a week at this point Age:VDay08 Temps: 75-78 during the day 66-70 at night 34-30% Humidity issues/notes:the plants have show some explosive lateral growth, but the humidity levels are starting to fall so i have been running the fan a little less which has raise the temps to around 77 on avarage, but nothing dangerous for the plants. Runoff PH:6.3 - 6.8
Jack Herer:
this plant is going the way of a bonsai mom with another plant i have so at this time looks more like a twig with some leaves an empty branches. i'll post more pics as it fills out.
some pics below.
you guys can expect the next update on the 17th.
Peace!
the botanicare sweet is composed of ebsom salts and simple carbohydrates(sugars),
it helps prevent stress and provides small trace amounts of magnesium to prevent deficiencies in the soil.
i add it in small concentrations through vegging and the first month of flower,
in larger concentrations later in flowering and during transplants and light transitions,
and in the highest concentrations during the last 2 weeks while i flush.
the diamond nectar is fulvic acid which helps the plants break down the nutrients in the soil so they can use them more efficiently.
floralicious + contains all kinds of minerals and organisms that help make the plants smell and taste delicious. but its strong so only a little bit is necessary, i may just switch over to floralicious bloom and floralicious grow before I finish just because i feel i may be able to taylor the nutrients more to what the plant speciffically needs.
