importance of record keeping

I have been trying new soil mixes, now my cookies are 2 foot long colas which is unusual. Its usually smaller groups of buds. I wish I kept better records dammit.

Journals are super important ....I keep lots of notes during my runs ....it's nice to have years and years of info for different strains ....some feed heavy some feed light ....takes the guess work out of everything....definitely start one and write everything down....

keep tracks...even a plastic peg with date and strain is a start

or in my case scribbles on a fridge calendar ..lol

If there ever was a case for documenting what you've done, growing MJ is probably #1 on the list. Think about it, you're stoned while you're doing most of it. I say if I didn't document it, it never happened.

I used a mix of dry foxfarm nutes, not sure the ratio between ocean forest and happy frog but the plants love it and Ive barely used liquid nutes. The hugeness is likely from them being so dang close to the hps in early flower, like 5 inches away.

Yep. Keeping logs lets you review and replicate what you did right and avoid what you didn't do right.

MJ is the #1 reason to learn excel IMHO

Sorry about the gigantor screenshot pics.

what does everyone use for their logs/planner/journal? I prefer paper to digital.

The only thing I keep track of is the date I plant seeds and the date I switch to flower. I don't see the importance of documenting every little thing. Plant them, feed them, watch them grow. It's pretty simple. Well at least I like to keep it that way. If you have the desire to keep records there is nothing wrong with it.
