This will be my grow journal for the year 2008; hopefully everyone will place thair opinions in this journal. I have already succesfully grown one female in 05' whcih was some good ol' homegrown creeper weed. Now, I will try to post everyday or two so I and you can keep track of progression among my 6 plants and soon to be maybe 9.

First, i would like to explain why i am starting so late. I planned on only having one at first, we will call her "Shirley" but after me continuoulsy fucking with it, Sherley died. I had her in a 16'' pot with only MG moisture conrtol (Big mistake). The first damage was done by not giving her enough sunlight, she was stretching for sun. So i moved her and everything was now going fine until one night i decided i would nute her. Shirley was up to about 5 nodes or so and within a couple of days she started showing nute burn. At that point i tried to leech the nutes out but after several days leaves were going to shit, drooping yellow leaves. So i pretty much said fuck it and cut the leaves all off and try to let the smaller new growth get all of the attention, and also I decided to try to LST this plant. well pretty much she suffered a grueling slow decline until one day i put her under a full day of sun and it burnt those lil leaves to a crisp. ha oh well; you live and learn by mistakes, thats what makes you wiser!

So, now that i have that sad story out of the way, lets get back to what we all love to see, smell, and touch; the new growth. Its like your baby, always wanting to nuture it and touch it. ha ok sorry im rambling. Our's and Smallbush are strains from atleast year 2000. They were stored in the freezer by my dad. which i remember when i was 13 in 2000 finding one of these growing (Amazing I might add). He does'nt know im using these seeds but hes not gonna get in em anytime soon again...These two are the tall pots w/ rocks above. They also have germinated and waiting to sprout so be ready for more pics. "Purple Power" was bagseed i believe and i dont know if she will live cuz she has purple in the stem. she just sprouted today...she is the one with all the greenery around. I'll try to keep you guys posted and for my reference.
