So usually people start a grow journal in the BEGINNING of a plants life. unfortunately for me, I registered on this website a few days ago. So I will start my grow journal in the second week of flower!
First signs of sex July 10'th.
2 Sativa dominant hybrids and 1 Indica strain. Bag seeds from a variety of really potent bud I have smoked that had seeds the past 2-3 years
5 Gallon bucket with Sta-Green soil and vermiculite. Miracle grow moisture control soil as my top lawyer (roughly
1/2 inch)
Started germinating mid may, planted end of may.
Fertilizing using miracle grow tomato plant food (18-18-21) First week of flowering gave 1 teaspoon per gallon (July-15'th).
Waited 10 days than gave 2 teaspoon per gallon (seeing minor signs of nute burn as of today so will try 1 1/2 teaspoon per gallon in 10 days)
Tried training my tall purple stemmed sativa a bit lower, due to wanting to move them indoors under lighting on cloudy days and ended up supper cropping it on the 24'th. It recovered pretty good.
Indoor lighting is a 110 watt HTG PL-55 TEK 3000k spectrum bulbs (I also have the 6400K spectrum bulbs) and a 27 watt CFL in the 5500k spectrum. PL-55 is hanging from the ceiling and the CFL is shining horizontally at the bottom'ish canopy. CFL also hit's the whole body of the indica.
Indoor grow area is 2' wide x 2' 1/2 deep x 6' high. It's a closet, so I am somewhat limited. Planning on enclosing the area a bit, or maybe not. Time will tell if needed.
Currently battling a small spider mite problem. See little to none as of today. Still will spray with cold water and 1 teaspoon lemon juice per gallon. Will try a homemade insecticide soap if by a week the problem isn't completely gone.
*NOTE* the ladies have spent a total of 2 lights days indoors when the outside weather is cloudy! %100 of it's veg life was spent outdoor under the sun. The area it resides when not indoors get's almost a FULL day of direct light. I'd say about %80 of the day, on a sunny day, the sun will hit the whole entire plant soil and all.
Pictures. Sorry for crappy quality. Need to grab a high resolution camera with macro for the future!

Next time I will start a grow journal from seed to finish and will most likely be indoors. Can not wait for that one!
Bud's are slowly growing. Might be slower growth due to a cold night period (under 65F) Last fert I did, the 7'th, I noticed more minor nute burn. This time on the edges of the leafs. I also fert'd my sunflowers since they are starting to flower and are lacking in roots. Noticed minor fertilizer burn as well. I am guessing 2 teaspoons per gallon of MG tomato plant food is too much. Need to knock it down to 1 1/2 teaspoons per gallon and maybe fert every 2 weeks for a while. Spicy, the purple stemmed sativa, is about done with her growth spurt. Hairs are starting to form. Although I estimate another week or so till she starts hairing at all the bud sites. The indica is growing nicely. More leafs appearing in between the nodes. Seem's Spicy is a few weeks behind Chocolate and the indica is a few weeks behind chocolate... Mean it's going to be some what inconvenient when it comes time to flush chocolate for harvest... We will see what happens!
