This is my second grow and the first diary.
I have been studying the growing process of cannabis for almost 2 years yet I still feel I only know a little. I suppose I have a fair understanding of the concept in each suggested steps throughout the growth cycle, though, I wish to understand the mechanism in each action as well.
The first grow was done in 99% of uncertainty. I feel like the plant did most of the work.
The first grow:
- Strain: Blue Dream (MSNL)
- Soil
> Horse manure compost (~70%)
> Gypsum
> Peat moss
> Soil from garden
> etc.
- Light
> Maxisun 300w dimmable LED
> Grow tent (3x3)
- Nutrient
> Random nutrient products from flower store
- Result
> 46 g
> Not so dense
> Skunky smell?
To conclude the first grow, it was about 30% of what I expected. There is so much to improve.
It took a long time to decide to start this grow since I always felt I was not ready. However, this quote helped me to make up my mind, "To do is to understand."
My focus will be to understand mechanism and purpose of each action required for the plant.
I will add pictures and thoughts as the diary goes on.
I hope this becomes a good reference for new growers struggling in wonders.
