Welcome, First off I am Bud, been growin for a number of years. My Goal in making this thread is to publish this material here at Rollitup & SeeMoreBuds
I am not sure what goes into the BEST journal, but i am going to make it tough to beat.

My Rules:
If you keep the posts relevant to the grow they will remain a part of this thread. I dont want people to have to go hundreds of pages reading nothing.
Thats All!

I have alot of projects and goals with this journal. Besides this journal i have alot of other things happening. I will try not to let the other rooms crowd this grow.

In reality should have named this grow Doomed from the start, as I imagine I will likey get every kind of bug and pest. I have to baddle this all the time, in fact I bring in most of the pests I have to kill. Reguardless we will cover it all.

There is no grow room setup here everything is in place. I will spend some time covering the rooms hardware. But we will skip all the plastic, trays and such.



Here We Grow...

Ok First and foremost, I will be using soil, I always add more aeration using pro mix and perlite. However with these seedlings I want more moisture retention. These plants will be in smaller pots for sexing, less soil, or media means they dry out fast. I will add extra oxygen to overcome the droopy appearence in veg.

Below is the media i will be using.



For the Seedlings i will use 1 quart Containers
for sexing and Transition i will use 2 gallon
and for final flower 3.5 gallon pots.

Now for this journal, I want to keep it small, These plants being all F1 and all from seed will likely get very tall. It is nearly impossible to veg a plant to maturity then flower and not have it become a monster. Another Fact in coming from seed is massive increase in
bud sites. None of these plants will be topped or bent. i need to see all the traits, and carefully examine the differences. After we rid the grow of males we will determine how agressive to get in cloning.

Some real challenges in this grow is that i will be growing 4 new strains that all use food and mature differently, All 4 of these will be grown together making it a bit more tricky.
This will likely lead to overfeeding, or underfeeding. It would be much easier to use a strain or plant i know well, however that is another area, I have a desire to produce some new mothers and new flavors.

Let go over the strains then we will talk about foods

i have been in and out of the hospital, i am recovered, i have the monster, and more media for it. however, i hear for a little extra work, they are going to HOOK me up with goodies. I really wanted a grow that informs, the monster is so broken up. this is a clean start to these plants, the monster thread will cover all the bud porn outside of here.

If you have been reading that one you know there are a few trays a month+ in flower, and a few others 10 days back. So we can all jump back and forth.

Dont you want to see what i am growing in here?????

Ok so we know the pots, and the media, let me talk about why i use this method.

When I first started growing, I used what ever soil was in stock. i think the first bag was miracle grow. no matter what brand i found, no matter the price they all seemed like BARK and MULCH. I tried to add this and that...... But it just stayed too dry or too wet.

I went to a hydroponics shop and finally found Foxfarms. It was the best soil i have found, however about 12 months ago the mix changed, it holds more water now and really makes it easy to over water, this is why i add products like perlite and promix.

But with the seedlings they start in small pots becuase its a long road to maturity from seed, and small pots are good for small plants. But too long in the small pots and expect small fruits. I found less aeration in the quart makes the major part of the root mass hold more moisture. Once it moves to the next pot it gets a layer of Highly aerated soil.
And if it proves to be a female it will get one last repot with lightly aerated soil. This mix sould make it possible to water every other day in late veg and flower. This should work good for journal updates.

The only draw back is that the seedlings will take about a week longer, and will likely seem to appear over watered alot.

So during these seedlings vegatative period i will add oxygen to the water to perk up the babies.

Lets go over the food.

Part of the challenge of this grow is that I have never grown 3 of these strains. Not having a idea of how hearty the plants are leaves me at a disadvantage. I have lots of additives and goodies to feed them, however i need to test the waters so to speak.

In this journal i will use 2 different foods At one time. Half of the plants one brand the other half another brand. This is one of my projects. So if it wasnt hardbeforehere is another bump.

let me show you the products i have available, and what options i have.

So for this soil grow. We I will feed fox farm line



And the other Soil line will be Pure blend Pro Soil

I had Good Results using the foxfarm line in the past. I feel they have altered the mix. i find a desire to add so much extra crap. So let me show you some of my other supplies.

So with the Foxfarm i add extra Calcium and Magnesium Because i use RO water.
I have adopted the Sweet brand over Cal Mag Solely for the taste Sweet adds.


A good water soluable Ripner is key to bulking.


These things are loaded with salts, so make sure you water well and flush well to aviod burning the leaves that make your fruita swell.

i also use less potient less salty boosters

Aside from the foods, i have micro nutes and speciality products



Some of these are bushmaster and purplemaxx and green fuse bloom stimulator

The bushmaster stops the plant from getting taller, i have used this product in the past.
it works, often TOO well Use at 1/2 power MAX. i used once and my plants were like lowryder2 i used a little too much.



Now another product Purplemaxx , this is a early/late flowering additive designed to help keep internode spacing tigher when you plants tend to get "leggy" Some strains they claim it causes purpling
