Hi everyone, this is the first grow journal I have ever started and its a pleasure to share my growing experience with you all. I am absolutely fascinated with Marijuana in every aspect and I truly believe that "it is a blessing and not a curse" to the world.
I was given a clone of unknown strain, on the 7th of Janurary 2008 and it was 1 week old when I got it, with a really yellowed and withering bottom leaf which made it seem like the weakest of the bunch, but I wasn't complaining cos it was free! It is now at 7 weeks and 3 days old, and has been flowering for about 2 weeks.
I put it in YATES potting mix in this 15 Litre bucket which has a raised middle and drain holes. I also mixed in some Root Blast to the potting mix. Kinda wishing I had chosen a bigger bucket but I think it should have just enough room for the required root system.
We have had some beautiful sunshine here on the west coast of the North Island (NZ), one of the best summers I can remember, and this has boosted this plant incredibly.
I have fed it blood and bone mix with added Potassium, plus a potasium sulphate mix, just once every 2 weeks, we have had plenty of periodic rain to water it naturally and I have monitored it religiously to maintain peak conditions, and to kick off the stoner moths and bugs that aren't threatened by the masses of bug spray I use.
I have bent it over due mostly to security reasons as I have neighbours who could possibly notice it if pottering around in their gardens. I also think it allows more sunshine on more of the leaves, therefore increasing the rate of photosynthesis and growth.
I have pruned sparingly, with only the biggest fan leaves being removed periodically, I really just want nature to do its thing on this baby, with a bit of help with some good nutrients.
I welcome all your comments and suggestions, especially if someone can tell me what strain they think it is, any health notes, nutrient suggestions and if you can guess how much bud I it will yield, let me know, maybe I'll give a prize to the closest guess... !
Enough talking, here are the photos...
