OK. Lets begin...

I am getting started on this journal a little late since I recently found this wonderful website. I have 2 plants going right now and this will be my first grow.. I have grown mushies before but thats for another forum!

One is 21 days old (currently in 3 gallon pot, 3 CFL's to this one) and the other 10 days (in 1 gallon pot with 1 CFL for now).

They are just getting over some overwatering issues that were faced a couple days ago. (Days 15-17, Overwater Recovery, No water given)

There was some curling and very heavy foliage. To help correct this, some support in the form of chopped up straws was used.

A few of the lower, first node branches were trimmed from plant 1 since they were getting too long and not receiving very much light due to my lame ass not filling the pot completely. I will use these clippings for a morning tea, tomorrow. =]

I will keep updates rolling as my children keep growing! Any suggestions, questions and/or comments would be appreciated, since this is my first time and there is so much to learn..


Happy Smokin!

Here are a couple pictures of plant 2, which is a few weeks behind plant 1.

She is standing slightly short for her age, after overwatering she is recovering nicely and growth is noticeable by the hour!!

The first picture is at Day 3, second and third at Day 10

I stuck my finger in the soil to see if its time to water again. I'm thinking it's time to give the ladies (*crosses fingers*) a drink =]

Watered with one 1/2 liter of 6.5pH tap water left out for 48 hours to Plant 1. *edit*_Bad Idea. I should have waited a couple more days. The drooping continues so I will stop watering for 1 week or until some improvement shows.

I will start feeding with Vigoro 24-8-16 All Purpose Plant Food with next watering.


Plant 2 was watered with 1 cup of natural tap at 7.0pH. no nutes.

I took the stilts off of 2 of the branches on Plant 1. They are holding fairly well.

She is still droopy!


Plant 1


Plant 2 is coming along now... Starting 3rd node today.

Everything is going good with Foo Foo.. she is getting SO big! haha

Some issues with Suzy Q (Plant 1). She is still droopy as FUCK. I just noticed this morning that she is developing preflowers. It looks like she will be a boy . I'll give her a couple days for pistils to show... It really looks like she's growing some balls though.

how long as plant 1 been droppn?plant 2 looks irie...as ii would say...it seems like it wants to jus lay down...lol

She's been droopin since the 7th. so, about 6 days?

I guess no one gives a fuck... anyways..


Plant 2 is starting veg mode. Lookin good.

Plant 1 is definately a male. I'm bummed, but i'll see what I can get off of him. He is still a handsome plant =]
