Hi everyone, this is the first grow journal I have ever started and its a pleasure to share my growing experience with you all. I am absolutely fascinated with Marijuana in every aspect and I truly believe that "it is a blessing and not a curse" to the world.

I was given a clone of unknown strain, on the 7th of Janurary 2008 and it was 1 week old when I got it, with a really yellowed and withering bottom leaf which made it seem like the weakest of the bunch, but I wasn't complaining cos it was free! It is now at 7 weeks and 3 days old, and has been flowering for about 2 weeks.

I put it in YATES potting mix in this 15 Litre bucket which has a raised middle and drain holes. I also mixed in some Root Blast to the potting mix. Kinda wishing I had chosen a bigger bucket but I think it should have just enough room for the required root system.

We have had some beautiful sunshine here on the west coast of the North Island (NZ), one of the best summers I can remember, and this has boosted this plant incredibly.

I have fed it blood and bone mix with added Potassium, plus a potasium sulphate mix, just once every 2 weeks, we have had plenty of periodic rain to water it naturally and I have monitored it religiously to maintain peak conditions, and to kick off the stoner moths and bugs that aren't threatened by the masses of bug spray I use.

I have bent it over due mostly to security reasons as I have neighbours who could possibly notice it if pottering around in their gardens. I also think it allows more sunshine on more of the leaves, therefore increasing the rate of photosynthesis and growth.

I have pruned sparingly, with only the biggest fan leaves being removed periodically, I really just want nature to do its thing on this baby, with a bit of help with some good nutrients.

I welcome all your comments and suggestions, especially if someone can tell me what strain they think it is, any health notes, nutrient suggestions and if you can guess how much bud I it will yield, let me know, maybe I'll give a prize to the closest guess... !

Enough talking, here are the photos...

I was borne in NZ. Aussie now but.

Your plants looks great. I would say about 1-2 ounces but that depends how much more growing it has to do before it flowers.

Gidday buzzza, thanks for the comment mate. The North Island of New Zealand is in the south pacific, South-East of Australia, but it is not a part of Australia. NZ is the best place to live, its so uncrowded and natural. I live 20 minutes from a beautiful mountain and 5 minutes from a long coastline of surf beaches, that's why we call it 'Taradise' !

more pics below...

Thanks for commenting kosmindtrip, Yeah I'm going for 1.5-3 oz's, it still has plenty of sunshine hours and perfect conditions, a late winter should mean more weight.

I have taken a pic and explained my nutes below.

Thanks for commenting bigbudeddie, I'm glad there's someone here that can relate to our Southern Hemisphere conditions and seasons.

Here's a couple of pics for the update on my ONE plant (it looks like more but there's only ONE plant in a 15 litre bucket...

She has had 1.5 litres water mixed with 5-10mls 8-3-8 blood & bone and 5mls Potassium Sulphate 'Pot Ash'. Basically everything you would give tomato plants to get nice juicy buds, I mean tomatos...

Not much stickiness or anything looking too wicked going on yet, I hope that isn't an indication of lesser potency because I want the gnarliest nuggets in the west out of this baby!

I went out into the beautiful sunshine and checked up on my girl, and who do I see but Spottle the cat, sprawled out beside it looking like he had just been knocked over by some kronic krystals. My cat loves budz too...!

Got stoned and took more photos
