Hello and welcome to our grow journal! This is our first grow, so please feel free to add comments and suggestions 
This being our first grow, we are taking the opportunity to experiment as much as possible and compare by doing. That being said, after reading through some books, we decided to sow our first seeds directly into peat pellets as opposed to germinating first in paper towel. Apparently, seedlings brought up this way will be healthier than seeds that are germinated before planting, but obviously you will have a longer wait before seeing any action this way (if seeing anything at all) To start, we planted 2 Cali Hashplant and 1 A-Train we received as a freebie. Within 4-5 days we had our first little Cali Hash sprout poke it's way out of the soil. It was probably a week or week and a half after that, we still had nothing from the other two so decided to investigate. We took out the seeds and the Cali Hash fell apart in hubby's hands and appeared to be moldy on the inside. It's hard to know for sure whether or not the seed was good in the first place, but I suspect they had a bit too much water. The A-Train showed no signs of splitting, so we decided to try germinating it in paper towel along with the remaining 3 Cali Hash seeds we had. It took one day for one Cali Hash and two days for the other 2 to germinate. The A-Train germinated one day after those, so we were very happy to salvage it!
We transferred the 4 seeds into peat pellets, however one of the Cali Hash split a bit too much before we planted it and ended up coming completely out of the shell. I decided to plant it anyway and within a couple days all 4 have sprouted
Unsure whether the deshelled plant will be all wonky later on, but at the moment it is a very healthy seedling!
Our first Cali Hash has recently been potted, but left in the sunlight so it doesn't get too far ahead of the others. The other 4 are still in propogators until we pot them and will put them all under light together. The soil mix we are using contains organic peat-free vegetable composte, perlite and vermiculite. We will be using Bio-Bizz nutes, but are not feeding them yet. Our main grow area will be inside a large wooden wardrobe with a 400w HPS light. We will likely use more than just the one bulb for future grows, but are keeping it fairly simple for now.
I think that about catches up to where we are now, so here are some pics!
First few are our first Cali Hash
