So ive been asked start a grow jurnal, But im already half way through my grow but ive got pics so ill put out what i can and fill in the gaps along the way.


This is what ive got:

Standard potting soil, Perlite, 10 small pots, 10 rubble sacks, 1x 18 inch moving fan, 1x 6inch fan, 40m of milar foil, 2x measuring jugs, 1x 10ml syringe, 1x ph testing kit, 2x ph adjuster ph up and ph down, 1x 400wat sodium light with ballast, 1x 600wat sodium light with ballast, 1x spray bottle, 5x 20wat clf's, Hesi soil nutes all.

This is how i started, I germinated my seeds useing kitchen roll a plate and a bowl i wet the kitchen roll give it a sqeeze to get rid of any excess water and put the first 2 sheets onto the plate then i put the seeds spread out on the plate and put the second two sheets of damp kitchen roll ontop followd by the bowl. I placed all of it into a bubble parcil envelope and put it into an dark warm place. All of my seeds germinated within 2 days and i planted them into my small pots with a soil mix of 2 parts soil to 1 part perlite this is what they looked like after a week.
At this time i was only feeding them with water with Super vit in it. Only feeding them 20-25ml each every 2 days and spraying them with water when lights out.

I think the nex pic is from about 2 weeks in, My cheese is doing good,all have got good growth and im having no problems, Ive noticed that some of the pots have got roots coming out of the bottom so i left them for a day and decided to repot them.at this tome i started useing my Hesi growth nutes full strenth all the plants are responding well to the nutrients.

Now i never thourght that i would be repotting so soon so i never had my big pots in but i did have 10 black rubble sacks this is what i did, I made small holes in the bottom's of all the bags and then folded them in half. I used polerstirine broken up at the bottom for drainage it works and i mixed my soil 2 parts soil to 1 part perlite.
i soaked my plants before removing them from their pots and used a small pot to make the right size hole in the soil. I watered them well this is what they look like now it shows the progretion of the plant growth
Also i bownd the sacks with string so they would keep their shape, all in all my 10 home made pots cost £2.50 very happy.

Im a phew weeks down the line now and all of my plants are on 200ml full strenth nutrients i cant be too exact about the date's of the pics but here is what they lok like

Ihave been useing 400wat hps light during flowering and making sure that the plants had good ventilation and air circulation.


I read up on the subject and i decided to top my plants im useing Uncle Bens topping technique to get 2 to 4 main colas im going for 4 main colas. So i topped them when they was 35 days old and when they had 6 true nodes i cut them all just above the 2nd true node and this is how they look
After the topping i left my plants another two weeks to grow and they look good, all of the cuttings i took i have used for clones. Here is some pic's
My temp's have been staying at a constant between 24-27 deg. All my plants have got their hairs i cant see any possible hermies very happy.


Im 2 weeks into flowering now im uesing Hesi bloom nutrients the plants love it they smell very nice im loving it,im useing my 600wat light now here are the new pics and now finaly im up to date.

If anyone has any questions just ask, hope u enjoy.

Nice grow journal! Keep up the good work. Some thoughts though - cutting above the 4th node is NOT subscribing to my method, it will produce different results. It will not produce the 2 or 4 main colas (not collars) as shown in my thread. The output you get is probably going to get you a bunch of smaller colas. That's OK, just wanted to point that out.

Plants are very healthy and that's what counts.

Good luck,
Uncle Ben

Thanks UB your thread has been a big help i just cant wait to see some bud, Im 2 week's into flowering at the moment and they smell realy nice but ill keep you all updated.

hey well.. you sure this is yours? those pics look like theyre from a computer

Yes they are mine and yes they did come from a computer my computer !! i take all of my pics with my camera on my phone, The first part of my jurnal is a bit compact because i wasn't going to do one to be honest. But i thought i should let everyone see because i learnt how to grow on here. So im just trying to give back a little. How do you like it upto now Yellowvin7?, If you have any questions regarding my grow i will be more than happy to answer them.
