Thanks to the amazing members of this forum I was able to get some seeds going to begin my journey growing for my dad. I want to start more but am starting slow. I soaked 7 for a couple days, 6 popped an have since broke dirt. I’ve never done a grow journal before but will do my best! Here’s a picture of the babies so far
Edit/adding more details - the final seed broke soil today!
I’m growing 2 each of Cinderella 99, blueberry x Jack Herer and 2 mixed seeds x @JohnnyPotseed
For lighting I’m using cheap Amazon grow LEDs. One 8x12 light an two fan looking bulbs. I don’t remember the wattage, it’s gotta be on the lower side but seems to be enough for now. To determine my height I use a simple light meter. I check it daily to make sure they remain within a ideal range
There are all kinds off good stuff you can put in your grown journal.
What strains did you decide on?
What lights are you using?
Are you growing indoor/outdoor or perhaps both.
What medium are you using… ex: Soil, coco, promix
What nutrients are you using… blah blah…
It is your journal so you can do what makes you happy!
Oh ya! Everyone here loves CannaPorn so take a bunch of pictures of your grow and post em…
Also the more pictures you post the more we can all love on your grow. I can tell you already that whatever you are doing is working well. Your seedlings are not stretching to much and are looking good
oh yay! it’s so great to see your grow (and grow journal) sprouting before our very eyes! a new overgrower being born. what cinderella are you growing out?
Welcome To OG, glad you decided to throw up a journal. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask no matter how silly they seem. Trust me you won’t be belittled here. Off to a great start. Here’s hoping those turn into some gems with an abundance of sticky, stanky green goodness .
RIGHT ON @Heather420 ! lots of great people sharing great stuff here. i have been growing pot for 30yrs+ and am still learning and getting better plants to this day. the fun of growing & learning never gets old for me. if you have any experience growing plants you will be just fine. good luck and enjoy the grow.
i wanted to clarify that those mix seeds are from JohnnyPotseed. he has a thread on here where he offers his seeds for very affordable prices. his strain selection tends to lean heavy indica, so hoping there’s something good in there for your pops.
here’s JohnnyPotseed’s thread where you can read more about his strains and crosses…
No worries @Heather420 you’ve found a good source for advice(some better than others ) so I’m going to tag @Meesh to follow your thread & know she can help.
The first month or so is a slow process (“hurry up & grow!”) but they take off after that.
Growing this stuff isn’t very difficult, but it does produce better results from a committed gardener. IMO the ladies have an advantage here & us dudes tend to treat it like a car engine.
The other 1/2 of the process is harvest/dry/curing/storage.
Along the way there can be bad weather, bugs, cats, heaven forbid thieves. But it’s an addictive hobby & many of us would grow even if we didn’t use it. It’s that compelling once you enjoy your first homegrown & say goodbye to store-bought.
Welcome @Heather420, glad to see you got seeds for your pops, will pull up a and watch, if you need advice there are many people on here that will help, including me. Good luck on the grow; hope you get some
@Heather420 looks to be you got the sprouting thing going on. also got some good stuff there. your gonna make dad be happy and feel good! enjoy the grow. respectfully mainerj
