This week has already passed basically I just found this site. Looks amazing for tips and sharing information. Any way I recieved my genetics from seedsherenow.com I chose Darkstar, and The H.O.G, since getting my genetics I have successfully germinated 2 Darkstar seeds and 1 H.O.G, I attempted to germinate 2 H.O.G seeds. In my description I stated my lights are L.E.D. I have a Vipraspectra 450 that will arrive tomorrow, I also have a sunnine 1000. The pictures of the grow room are currently under a 4 ft shop light with CFL and two outer lights for some auto flowers I just started as well. Plants are still to young to go under the L.E.D. But once large enough L.E.D. will be added. Today is actually day 6 of the grow. I will post pictures of the grow room, set-up, and seedlings. All plants are planted on Fox Farm ocean forest soil.

Today marks day 7. So officially the end of week one. The seedlings were close to dry this morning. I will be following the fox farm feeding schedule on this grow. I have attached a photo of the schedule. You will notice seedlings and clones are supposed to recieved 6 tsp per gallon. I only used 3 tsp per gallon came out to around 123 ppm, ph was 7.3. My ph down will arrive today or tomorrow but the babies needed water. I don't think it will hurt them. Seedlings are under a shop light with CFL lights 2 bulbs, 2900 lumens each and 5900K color. I am expecting a Vipraspectra 450W L.E.D. any day as well as these babies grow they will go under that for vegetative growth. More updates and pictures to come. Thanks for checking in.

This is NOT my week 2 update, this is simply an update to show the new grow room set up for the seedlings, as I had to make some changes with adding an L.E.D. to the room. No major changes on the plants thus far. With it being Day 8 and I made this update I posted some updated photos of the ladies. Thanks for checking as always like and comment 😎

Happy Tuesday my fellow growers or even better then a Tuesday day 14 of my grow, time for an update. Alright so week 2 so saw slow growth with our seedlings under the shop light and two 100 W (L.E.D.) light bulbs basically. Last night end of day 13 they have gone under and 450 W L.E.D. Viparspectra, I now have two of these lights in one room. This room share space with a couple auto flowers. Early in week 2 I was battling tempatures in my room close to or above 90 degrees F at times. Day 9 or Friday seedlings watered watered with regular water ph. To 6.5. Seedlings were fed on Day 12 (note my nutes are tsp/gal) not what it shows above wouldn't let me change it for some reason. Any way, the feeding was 322ppm ph. 6.5, I have been spraying twice a day with spray bottle to help with humidity, Temps in the tent have dropped into the mid 80's. After feeding seedlings have responded great with nice green growth and they are loving thier L.E.D. lights are currently about 22 inches above seedling with only the veg setting on. I'm hoping for some solid gains in the next week. Already looking forward to making that update. As always like and comment, I love your guys input, advise, tips. Whatever you got. Peace be the journey and grow on!!!!🌱🍁💨

Happy Tuesday my fellow cultivators, and day 21 of my grow. The end of week 3 and time for another update. Day 15 of the grow saw a basic watering seaweed extract ph down to 6.5, Day 15 also had a little bit of a change up i added dry ice to my room in an attempt to up to CO2 levels in the room. I feel like there was some decent growth. But with no way currently to monitor levels and accurately measure I continued until day day 17. Day 17 saw H.O.G. and Darkstar 1 transplanted into larger pots. The plants responded great. I'm waiting to transplant the other Darkstar but don't have any room!!!! Huge problem. I'll figure it out. Day 18 all 3 plants were topped. Day 19 plants were basically fresher up with a light watering of the same as Day 15. I left town and returned today Day 21 to see some nice gains. I didn't feed this week, upon returned the girls were dry I watered with seaweed extract again, and will feed this coming week when they need some water. So it was an eventful week with some nice gains. I do have a question I've notice the plants are staying very short, I have my lights approximately 22 inches above the plants. Think I should raise the lights some to encourage some stretch? Alirght folks I'm looking forward to next weeks update, and checking everyones updates until its my turn again. Well as always like and comment. Peace be the journey✌️ and grow on my friends 🌱🍁💨😎

Good morning my fellow cultivators and Day 29 of my grow. Sorry again for the delay on week 4 update. Family arrived in town yesturday just wasnt able to make it for the update. But im here now so let's dive right in, week 4 was a solid week. All the plants finished healing up from the topping that I did. I would like some feedback if I could on Darkstar 2 (Day 25) photo, the smaller leaves have some discolor ingredients and the ends of the leaves are dying. I'm wondering if I didn't go a little heavy with seaweed extract last week. I water with regular water to follow up the seaweed and then feed this week. I havent noticed any discoloration on any other leaves. Darkstar 1 is loving the lst and just becoming a nice little Bush. Darkstar 2 is falling behind the other two as she's not directlying under the light. I'm waiting for some non-feminized Auto flowers to sext themselves so I can pull the male and get Darkstar 2 under direct light. Did do week 4 feeding based off the fox farm feeding schedule. I raised the lights this week to approximately 24" above to get some vertical growth. Everything is looking strong for now. Cruise control just maintaining. As always my friends like and comment. I love yalls feed back. ✌️ be the journey. And grow on!!!!🌱🍁💨

Hello, my fellow cultivators, and Happy new Years Eve!!! And day 39 of my grow. I do apologize for the delay we are in week 6 now, but the holidays have slowed my updates. Apologies!!!! So what we have seen in week 5 is some solid gains, these girls have fully recovered from their topping, and are being L.S.T. as well (limited space). Plants were watered during week 5 with regular water P.H. down to 6.5 the run off numbers were very high in the ppm category, so no feeding for now. The L.S.T. is opening the plant nicely and allowing several new tops to develop nicely. That's all I've got for now, look for week 6 update on Tuesday. As always like and comment love everyone's input. Oh yea, side note Darkstar 2 has fallen way behind due to space and light limitations, so after she recovers from her super cropping, im going to cut her into clones and start her over she just isn't as vigorous as the other two. She doesn't get the same amount of light, she's at a severe disadvantage. ✌️ be the journey, and GROWN ON!!!!! 🌱🍁💨

Hello my fellow cultivators, happy new year, and happy Tuesday day 42 of my grow. I hope this new year brings you andoing yours many blessings. This update will get us back on track for every Tuesday updates again. So this week i spent some time doing more L.S.T Training on. The girls keeping them short for now. They are bushing out very nicely. They did get water this week just seaweed extract p.h. down to 6.5. Plants have been very responsive to the L.S.T Training causing me to have to do some light leaf tucking to make room for all the new tops coming in. I think I'm not going to cut down the Darkstar 2 she's responding to the L.S.T. training and I'm training her back towards the lights and she doing better. So for now she stays. Until next Tuesday my friends, ✌️ be the journey and GROW ON!!!!!🌱🍁💨

Good evening my fellow cultivators, and day 49 of my grow. Hope everyone is having a great week, this week hasn't been to busy grow wise. Not to much has changed. Plants are on cruise control right now. I have noticed the H.O.G, and Darkstar 2 is drinking like crazy all the sudden. Plants were fed on Day 45 with 2tsp of Grow Big and 2tsp of Big Bloom. These girls needed water again on Day 48 with water and seaweed extract 1tsp. Did some minor leaf tucking and removal as well bring out those inner branches. Also raised the lights as these girls are spreading out and as you can see I'm running out of horizontal room. So hoping some vertical growth will happen this week. That's all I got this week, so until next time ✌️ be the journey, and GROWN ON!!!!!!🌱🍁💨

Good evening my fellow cultivators, Happy Tuesday, and Day 56 of my grow. Don't have a whole lot to report this week. Everything was watered this week regular water p.h. down to 6.5, everything was also fed lightly with Grow Big, and Big Bloom. These girls probably lyrics won't be flowered out for a little bit, due to having a couple auto flowers going as well. I am actually going to be removing these from the closet and have a grow tent and T5 light on the way to veg plants. So that change will be coming this week. Did some leaf tucking of course to continue to encourage more tops. Really everything is on cruise control right now. Will have pictures of the new tent and these babies in their new tent next week. Until next time ✌️ be the journey. And GROW ON!!!!!🌱🍁💨

Alright, so first off if like to apologize to everyone that was following my diaries for the lack of updates, I moved and have several hours between grow location and where I moved. To add to that the T.H. Seeds which were "feminized" produced two males out of three plants I had going. I flowered her for 63 days. With the help of a few people I was able to maintain the plant to decent level and atleast complete the grow. At this point I can not talk to much about the weight or taste as everything was cut down recently and it's not ready to smoke. I will report back on that information. Again thanks for the follows the likes the comments and advice. @Growdiaries the improvements are awesome, and the sites looking great. I will be starting some more diaries soon as I have some new strains for me just starting. Will be starting their diaries soon.
