Well this is the start to my long awaited grow journal. I finally received everything and in a furry or opening boxes and getting everything set up i finally have everything up and running. Unfortunately the only thing that i have no faith in the seed germination. I did soak them in water for 24 hours which i am sure people will disagree with me on that one but the seeds did not hit the bottom on the glass till the last 20 hour. The one Smart pot on the left is Bomb Berry Bomb the right is Reserva Privada Skywalker OG Kush. Now the Little one in the middle is Nirvana Swiss Cheese.

The germination for all of them was kinda .... not great. The taproots did come out of the shells but instead of paper towel i opted to go straight to the dirt. I guess time will tell on what happens next! If not i have more seed back ups!!

The Medium is Fox Farm Ocean and Forest and by the pics i am sure that you can see the Nutes!

Like i said previously i guess time will tell exactly what the deal will be if the germination took or not. If not the grow will basically stay the same... But ill have to resort to a different strain.

Well its Day 3 and to my surprise all three seeds took ... Not bad odds at all! not much to report other then iam still lovin the Solar Storm 400!! all 3 seedlings are shot right up out of the pots quickly!. I did move the CLW 400 down to 12 inches and plan on leaving it there for at least 4-5 more days and then returning it to the 18 inches that i had planned on for the remainder of my grow!

Ok Now heres Week 2 and Week 3. The light has been hanging at about 12 inches the whole time above the plants. We have had a little bit of Cal/Mag problems but very minor. The grow has seemed to be going very well so far. The one on the left is the Bomb Berry Bomb. On the right is Skywalker OG. This sunday is going to be the start of week 4. I am very undecided just of yet if i am going to flip to 12/12 for the reason being is Berry is only at 5.5 Inches and Skywalker is only at 7. What i am very happy at tho is both plants are short yes but very very bushy!! I didnt play around with Berry Bomb at all. I figured i would just let her grow! Skywalker how ever i attempted to try the FIM and i have 4 very nice main colas now coming out the top of her!

So i thought that i would post some pics for the start of week 4.... The Skywalker measures in at 9 inches while the Berry Bomb Measures in at 8 Inches! ive really been debating on weather or not to flip them to 12/12 at the end of this week. I know that there not at there 12 inch potential . However i have a feeling that one will be to short under the 12 inch mark and the other might be over at that point.

Do you have a "Kill-a-Watt" to measure actual draw?

I like bushy plants... ;)

no i dont have one... yet! lol its not that hard to go get one tho. Now iam curious towards its actual draw. I am hoping like crazy tho that its enough to start vegging 3 plants. There is one thing that i am having undecided issues with. What is the perfect height to veg at with the 110 and the 400. I started the 400 at 12 " above and carried through till the 4 week in veg and then raised it to 18 inches... i ve never noticed anything out of the normal besides keeping it low and LST my skywalker to get more light through.
