Welcome to my first ever grow journal.
First off, all comments are welcome and encouraged. Just be respectful of others.
A bit of background, as far as growing.
I’ve been on this great green earth for 53 years, and before last year. I have never grown anything, never kept a plant alive, when given a couple of house plants. They died.
Since legalisation I figured why not give it a go.
I got a $100 amazon gift card for my birthday, bought a cheapo Chinese LED q board, 4 Autoflower beans from the govt dispensary thinking, hey. I’m gonna grow some weed.
Boy was I in for a big surprise. 
Being determined not to fail, and doing a shit load of beginner research. I needed to step my game up.
So about 2.5k later. I created my apartment growing environment with a 4x4 tent, a Photontek 465Pro, Inkbird temp and humidity controllers, and 6’ exhaust.
Using Promix HP, Perlite and salts. Usually Mega crop 1 part and Bud Explosion.
During my beginner research I came across RIU, thinking wow. This is great, and signed up for a chance at some free beans. Being a cheap SOB, and seeing the price of some genetics. I couldn’t believe people were giving them away for free.
Low and behold, I got a PM…I won! Along with someone I had never met. @Natea
In congratulating each other he asked me “Hey, you ever heard of OVERGROW?”
Well the rest is history.
Never did I ever think or ever imagine that such an epic, caring, giving, community every existed on the world wide web.
After seeing all the usual toxic BS at RUI it was evident where I belonged.
So thank you Nate. For reminding me that there still is hope for humanity. 
Since joining OG I have received more beans then I will probably ever grow…Or so I thought. 
My upgrades over the last year now include a new 5x5 ACI tent for flower with the 465pro.
A 2x4 veg tent with a viparspectra 1500pro and 6 barnia 2" led’sT5, with an ACI 69 pro 4" exhaust.
Over the last year I’ve grown beans from @THCeed WMBK, FC x Frank from @JohnnyPotseed and currently some Gorrila Oozie from @Rhai88
In the veg tent I just started 2 x Dream Genie from @Tracker and 1 Chem Dog x Meat breath from @Wizdom with many, many more to come!
A short list of the things I’ve learned over the last year is…
1)Growing teaches patience…something as we get older we lose.
2)This plant is truly magical, both for medicinal health and mental health. 
3)Hey, Look Ma’ I can do it
Well that’s it for my little intro and grow journal journey.
Thanks for stopping by, and remember.

Cool stuff bud great set up you have there, I’ll pull up a seat for sure. Looking forward to seeing your grows mate 
Really nice growing setup! Loved the dog picture too!
Thanks fellas.
That’s Rain, our 10 yr old Boarder collie x Husky
The love of our life.
She also love weed as much as we do and will come up to us. Paw at our fingers after smoking a joint, and lick our fingers till they turn into prunes
crazy mutt
Your setup looks great. Beautiful pup.
I hope the Dream Genie makes something good for you.
He or she who is successful with weed and dogs shall live a happy life! I just made that proverb up; however, it does ring a bit true.
Hell yes, what a way to introduce the thread! I’m pumped to follow along on this one
Great write up my man @LzBoy, and I’m glad I could steer you over to some real OGs lol. Great pics, and good luck on your grows!
Go habs go
I’m sure it will, one of em just wants to be a leaner. 
2 at the front are your’s 
Also popped 2 of each.
Frosted cobra x Frank fem from @JohnnyPotseed
And from the auction for @toastyjakes I grabbed OG godfather from Bean Breeder and First Contact by Epic Seeds courtesy of @CoastalMarySeeds who are my go to for online ordering.
All fems for now. Until I’m more confident.
But will definitely be hitting some branches in the future
Last pic dump of the weekend is @Rhai88 Gorilla Oozie that is turning out to be the star of the current flower tent, going up against some Banana Sherbert from Original seeds Seeds
Hope everyone is having a great weekend
Well, it sure just got better! You know I’ve got this set to watching. Looking very much forward to watching the grow show from the stadium seats down south.
So glad Rain could make it.
The Oozie is looking really nice, dude. Babies are off to a great start, too.
All the best on your expansion and the big change over into consistent cycles, bro. And all the best to the missus.
Stay up

Looks like you caught the bug! 
Haha. This is why I need a journal.
I’ve been horrible my entire life on taking notes, for anything.
So correcting my count.
1 Dream Genie
2 x Chem Dog x Meat Breath
I’ll get this down eventually.
Also didn’t realize I had my kassa timers off sync… Note to self and others… Don’t set a timer for noon then have it set for midnight
All fixed now.
ACI is dialed in
Bottle water fed the seedlings and mega crop in the 3 others.
I hanks for stopping by.
Ps: Thanks for the kind words CD.
And yes definitely caught the bug like a full on CDC emergency
I can see why wow that looks sooo good @LzBoy 
Yeah I’m excited to see how the chemdog x meat breath turn out
Pulling up a chair in the back here. OGTW @LzBoy . Sending positive energy and good vibes to you.
Thanks for hanging around @Jpaul 
Have you gotten any of Wizdoms cd x Mb @Natea ?
I’ve also started some Veggies on the balcony.
I used up some compost, worm casting, and promix for outside… So the dam gnats can hang out there instead of in the tents. I hope.
I also want to get a venus fly trap for the veg tent.
Anyone have any luck with carnivores?
Do the “need” bugs to survive or will water do just fine.
I really do love taking pics, sorry if I double up on some.
Banana Sherbert and Gorrila Oozie.
Took a sick day today.
Our beloved Rain isn’t doing that great. If your reading this and a person of faith, if you could say a lill something for her.
Hope rain feels better 
…I got CdxMb from wizdom and will be running that after the monsoon.
Good luck with yours 
I have some on the way @LzBoy, I had to be a part of his crazy 420 sale he had. Next round I will most likely be putting them in coco, so until then I will be checking out how yours turns out.
Pretty buds and dog!
