Hey, I've been growing my plants for a while now and I've decided its high time I start a grow journal on them.

Strains: Biggest plant= G13 NL X Skunk
Next biggest plant=Kushberry X Skunk
2 smaller plants=LA Confidential X Skunk

My NL was feminized but I was lucky enough to have 3 out of the 4 non feminized freebies end up female. I put the male outside in the ground to learn from it about outdoor growing.

Over the past few months, as I've gone through this first grow, I've learned ALOT.
Anyway back to the grow. The NL was vegged for 2 months and I've topped and LST'd her. The others are younger and growing normally.

Soil: Fox Farms Ocean Forrest
Nutrients: Iguana Juice grow and bloom + unsulfured molasses of course
Lights: 1 68 watt 2700k, 3 42 watt 2700k, 3 27 watt 5500k, 2 26 watt 6500k bulbs
Water: distilled

Its a rubbermaid stealth grow in my basement

Started 12/12 on April 20th

Feel free to comment in my journal. Below are some picture I have taken and posted in threads along the way. I'll try to do them in chronological order.

Since last time, I've LST'd my NL a little bit more to get more of an even canopy and I've added another 27 watt 5500k bulb and another 42 watt 2700k bulb. The NL is really starting to bud. Pistils are everywhere and I'm really excited about that.

Not too strong of a smell yet luckily.

I haven't seen any trichomes yet.

In the picture of the inside of the bin, the Kushberry is on the bottom left, the LA Confidentials are in the top left and right corners, and everything else is the NL

Seriously, any tips, pointers, suggestions, you guys have, people don't hesitate to post it. This is my first grow

In terms of the update, the plants are growing great and I just noticed the development of the trichomes on the northern lights. They're pretty frosty

I took these pictures on my cellphone camera so the quality isn't not the best. The first two pics are comparison between 3 days ago and now. Same with the 3rd and 4th photos. I love my light setup right now :leaf: :):leaf::leaf:

Just checked on my plants and they look and smell great. the smell is like a mix between fuel and citrus...Idk why. Anyway, trichs are really coming in.

Anyone have a ballpark guess as to how much I might yield?

Went down to water my plants today and there was good and bad. It didn't like the mix of my hydro nutes (iguana juice), which turns the PH to about 5.4, and molasses. Today I watered with distilled water which I know they will appreciate.

They look and smell fantastic.

More updates with pictures coming soon,

Can someone show a brotha some love?

I've started using AN overdrive because I am in the last few weeks of flower. The PH problems are no longer getting worse as I have figured out how to correctly adjust my water.

The NL is going to yield alot of great bud. Its really frosty now with lots of bud.
The Kushberry is THICK
The 2 LA confidentials are filling in and are the 2 most healthy plants.

First 2 pics are of inside grow box
Pic 3-6 are of Kushberry. Does anyone think this is anything other than a low PH?
The rest are of the NL

Yeah I know. I really wish I had a 400 watt because I'd get twice the bud. Do you know what might be causing the problems on my Kushberry?

Update. Day 47 of 12/12

Mostly everything is going well. I have been watering with first a little bit of spring water to wash out the old nutrients, then I water with 1 gallon of water, full dose of iguana juice grow (3 tsp/gallon), 3/4 dose of Advanced Nutrients Overdrive (a little under 2 tsp/gallon), a spoonful of Grandma's unsulphured molasses, and API aquarium PH up.

First 4 pics are individual shots of each plant in the following order: LA Confidential 1, LA Confidential 2, Kusnberry, Northern Lights.

Pics 5-7 are of the Kushberry's dying leaves. It's budding fairly vigorously but these fan leaves keep on dying from the bottom up. Does anyone know what this is?????????

8 and 9 are of inside the growbox​

Day 61 Harvested half

I harvested the northern lights and half of the Kushberry a little early because they were starting to get bud rot.

I still have the 2 healthy LA Confidentials in the grow box.

Here's the harvest. Idk the wet weight.

In the middle, the big dark round bud is the kushberry top. Everything else is NL​

Smoke Report

Buds all gone by now. The Kushberry was the best. Smelledmainly like blueberry but had the high OG kush peak smell and a hint of skunk.
Northern lights was also great followed by the LA confidential. The LA smelled the best though. Smelled like citrus/lemon. Yielded about 2 oz. in the end due. Would've gotten 2.75 if it weren't for bud rot.​
