I have a lot of new things going on in my life and I’m grateful to have the opportunity and time to start my first grow journal. Thanks in advance for all of your advice and Input along the way! The quality of my weed is important to me and I intend on achieving excellence…

I am using an extra bedroom. The carpet was ruined and needed to be removed anyhow so that was the first move. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to paint the walls white before the wife drags me out for the holiday (beach, fair,fireworks, etc.) celebrations. As far as the floor, I’m thinking of a 10’x10’ tarp. I’m in search of a Humidifier, timer, sensors and possibly a little a/c Unit so I can kinda seal off and cool only one room instead of the whole house while no one is home.

I germinated 20 regular seeds and 18 sprouted

5 black Wilson reserve by Masonic
5 diesel rozé by ethos
5 sour blueberry breath by ZincFingersGenetics
3 funk/haze cross by wormdawwg

Also germinated 3 autos I think.. I’m pretty sure it was either candy cake or lemon berry candy og or a mix of the two lol.


I made some soil using
promix hp
Coco coir
Biodynamic compost
Worm casting
DTE bio live
DTE kelp meal
DTE Humic acid
Roots organics “elemental” (Cal mag)
Dynomyco

Hopefully have about 9 after sexing and at the moment I don’t really have plans to clone or keep anything. But I’m sure that will change as soon as I find some more equipment to facilitate it.

Anyhow thanks for lookin and I hope you enjoy the journal.

Got the walls painted this morning. Now the floor is driving me nuts. Gotta do something about it before too long lol.

Doesn’t look like your first rodeo? You’ll have a nice little setup once you get all them bells and whistles up and rocken. I’m subbed.I love watching a room come together. Dude iv been herring about that Wilson for some time now

this will be my first organic run so im excited to see what will come of it.

When I very first moved to California I made the drive up to LA to check out Masonic’s on Fairfax and buy some merch, he laced me up with some gear, some flower and a couple grams of bubble hash. He was super cool and since then I’ve been stoked to see I get from it.

what up pHam, Been a busy month for me, my daughter and mom came from Utah to visit for two weeks(just left yesterday) and me n the wife are still trying to get our new house put together.

On the weed front, I ran into a couple issues….
In my excitement (and possibly getting used to soil instead of straight coco) I over watered and stunted everything for about two weeks. After finally get everything back on track, I ran into a nitrogen deficiency and my plants started fading fast which was trippin me out because I should have PLENTY of nutrients with my horse shit compost and soil mix… so after a day or two of scratching my head I had the idea to kind of repot with some amended soil(fresh worm casting n fish shit) and top it off with a compost tea. I did that two weeks ago, and I managed to save all but one plant.

Now I’m culling males as they come and repotting the fems. So far I have 5 Fems
3 diesel roze
1 sour blueberry breath
1 haze mix



I clearly stunted the 3 autos as well lol but ima keep ‘em around unless room becomes an
issue. I still have 10 regs to sex so we will find out shortly.

Hopefully I’ll get the rest sexed n repotted this week so I can get rid of the cardboard eyesore but I needed to raise everything up thanks to the mini autos ?. Soon it’s time to start topping shit and do some lst, my favorite part.

Anyhow, happy hunting and please chime in with any advice, thanks in advance.

Looks great !

For on the floor...BIG trays are great. I use 2 x 4 flood and drains but they come 3 x 3...4 x 4...4 x 8 etc. Then no water ends up on the floor.

And white paint...then you can clean it easy. Works for me and i spilled that shit EVERYWHERE more than once.

Hey, thanks for the advice! I went to check em out and they were like $100 so I passed on it until I can find a better deal.. otherwise I’ll just have to bite the bullet and grab one.

I ripped the carpet up and found all the white paint. I am considering just keeping the concrete or putting down an epoxy, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Too many things to do, not enough damn time lol. But I love it

Hey hey! Found a nice tray, finally! Also, got rid of a BUNCH of males and few females that were falling too far behind… ended up with 4 plants, 3 diesel roze and 1 sbbb.
Combined with my littles autos I’ll be maxed out for room before long.

I am Gonna start training and lst for a couple weeks until the autos are done then switching to flower schedule.

Still trying to get everything dialed in and I overwhelmed my self with too much at once. I gotta Slow down get back on track..
My soil is still pretty hot, some plants are fine others tips are burnt/turned down hard. I’m guessing I didn’t mix it well enough originally and there is some major variance in the pots.. oh well I’m learning :)

Have a good damn pham, back to work!
