Set up and getting ready took about 6 weeks researching and buying all the things I needed, but it was all worth it looking forward to this grow. I soaked the seeds in the paper towel until seeds sprouted that took 2 days, then planted them about a quarter inch in my soil gentle covered the sprout and added about a shot glass of water. I had to put them under my SF2000 for 2 weeks I think, due to the weather where I live.

This week was nerve racking, not knowing when or how much water and trying to refrain from watering to much. But they are looking good to me, again I have them under a sf2000 that I bought for winter, the weather here is getting better one more week and I will be able to put them outside. So I decided to use the plastic cup thing for the first few days, it keeps the little seedlings all warm and humid, I was happy with the results, they sprouted nicely. I pretty much misted them for the first3 days then 1/2 cup each every other day with misting the soil numerous times a day to keep the humidity up in the closet, today I’ll water them throughly. I don’t plan on feeding them until the 3rd week so just watering with PH at 6.3 or so thru the second week and watch it grow. Happy growing growers.

This week was good I feel the plants grew well, I watered them twice this week and started with a little nuits today the 23rd. I’m new so I’m going as simple as I can, and I read somewhere I could use tiger bloom all the way thru from the 3rd week on at a 1/4 to 1/2 of the suggested dose on the bottles so we will see how it goes. I’m still trying to figure out watering so I’m staying on the less watering side and watching closely I’m super freaked out of over watering but what ever happens I’m sure the plant will make it thru. Also I decided to grow indoors the weather is to sparatic this spring and I can’t trust it, so thru this week I will be setting up a tent and next week have all the new info. Have a nice week.

I’m just wondering how much to run an in-line fan. I’ve read every 1-3 mins, but I would like to know how long does it run in between those times? Is it constantly turning on and off? Do I need to put it on a timer? Thanks.

If you want to run it as temperature control a temp switch like the inkbird can be used or just for ventilation I run constant in and out. Cheers

So I messed up on weeks missed the second week but I’m on the start of the 5th week 27th day, but I got it straightened out now. I’ve been watering them every other day it seems like, and feeding every other watering 6ml of tiger bloom per gallon, it’s going great, since the pots are so small is probably why I have to water so much but that’s ok with me. The plants are looking very nice and getting those hairs all over, they seem to be short and stocky,I’ve been using LST every couple days readjusting and pulling new branches down, I’m happy with the results. Talk next week happy growing.

These plants are growing very well,I wish I would of put them in a bigger pot but can’t learn without trial and error. The LST is working well every couple of days I check to see if I need to adjust,I think I started to early on the smaller one it’s a little stunted but the flowers are looking good. They eating up water like crazy a half a gallon twice a day which is good cause I can feed them more tiger bloom which is a good thing I think. These plants are 35 days young. Until next time cya

Everything is going great, the larger plant I’m watering every other day and feeding 6ml of tiger bloom i between watering, the smaller plant takes less water but is flowering very well due to it’s small size which I’m sure it’s my fault for starting LST to early but oh well it’s still growing buds. My tent environment is doing great I just put in a ac infinity fan it’s quite and is keeping things clean and fresh in the tent. I hope my pics and comments help, I know I searched and searched this web site and got great info from other growers, thanks everybody and see ya next week.

It’s getting very close to harvest time, the plants are bulking up maybe one more feeding but probably just PHd water from here on out. Not doing much just watching them grow, and watering when the soil is dry. Well enjoy the pics.

So all is going well day 56 the taller plant is getting very very close the trichomes are getting mostly cloudy a few clear and some amber ones, and the leaves are losing color, the buds are getting very dense and they smell great. The shorter one is producing large buds, they are just harder to see and it seems like a week behind in harvest time but it will be good to go soon. Just water from here on out they are not drinking as much water but I read that happens towards the end of the plants life. Ok until next week.

Well the first plant got harvested today, I watered it for the last time about 4 days ago and then put it into darkness for 48hrs, I think it turned out great for my first plant it weighed 12oz after I cut it down and trimmed off some bigger foliage so we will see what happens after 7-10 days of drying. The smaller one looks about a week or so behind the leaves are just turning yellow and I’m just giving it ph water until the end.

Week 11. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

The buds look great a nice color of mostly red some are really dense and others are airy. The second plant was about 2 weeks behind,so I already partook in the first plant and the buzz was very very nice, I would say it’s good for early evening high high,and then it will put you on the couch for late evening. We made edibles out of some and that for sure is for night time for great sleep. The smell is amazing especially after grinding it up citrus mmmmm.

I would defiantly grow G14 again I like the smell and the buzz. What I would do different is put it in a bigger pot and wait until it gets taller before I start the LST process, I think that hindered my yield, on the second plant for sure. Well being these are my first two plants I ever grown I’m absolutely happy with the results. So good luck to everybody and I hope my diary will help anyone cause I know this site helped me very very much. Until next time good luck and there is nothing like smoking your own homegrown weed. Keep smoking my friends.

I use an inkbird it-308 personally, to keep temps as I like and will refresh air as it comes on..depending on heat created by what equipment/lights you have on how often it turns on etc...
