Hey folks,
I'm finally getting around to starting this grow journal. I'm growing 1 og kush plant that was grown from a feminized seed outdoors until i bought it 2 weeks ago.

Now I have it indoors in a 17" x 20" x 30-55"(adjustable height) homemade grow box. I just transplanted it yesterday into a nice size pot as it had way overgrown the one it was in, I was having to water every day. The soil seems really good, its got bat guano, kelp meal, worm casting, humus, perlite all that good stuff. I still need to get a ph meter which will happen in the next couple days.

The plant is a little over 12" and I topped it about 3 or 4 days ago but unfortunately right after I did my old light set up fell on her and it burned the 4 biggest fan leaves to crap so I pruned those off but now a lot more light is hitting the new growth on top and at all the inter nodes so im thinkin it wasn't too bad of a thing to happen.

So far no nutes, I'll probably start flowering in a little less that a week and thats when I'll start feeding her(hopefully her haha). It's been under 1 42 watt and 1 27 watt bright white cfl but just this morning I changed it around and added a 42 watt warm white to the mix. I have 3 more of the 27 watts I plan on adding but I'm still trying to deal with some heat issues.

Right now i have 2 4" muffin cpu fans, 1 for intake and 1 for exhaust and also an osilating fan inside, temps are around 90F, any low cost solutions are welcome I might end up haveing to get a squirrel cage fan or something.


So there you have it, my little grow, hope i didnt leave anything out.
p.s. I'll have the lights closer to the plant but had to make this new set up in a hurry this morning so I decided id rather be too far than too close especially since i already burnt those fan leaves. Criticism, comments, and suggestions are all welcome :mrgreen:
