Hey ILGM brothers and sisters! Hope everyone is doing well this morning.

Long story short, my first grow attempt ended up being a full on male plant. 86ed it last night, dried up my tears, put on my big boy pants, and dropped an ILGM Cherry Pie Feminized seed I got from my good friend @MaD-VapoR.

So, I decided to make my first grow journal!

Now that I have more experience under my belt, have the proper equipment to start with, and a feminized seed, I should be set for success!

Will be adding a new post shortly with my first update.

Set to watch.

Iā€™ll be starting my journal tomorrow (hopefully!) and will be dropping 6 or so seeds (half cherry pie 1/2 gold leaf). Sounds like we might have a grow-off challenge between two noobs that had less than desirable resultsā€¦should be fun! :joy:

First real journal entry coming shortly!

OK so, I had no idea that you cant edit a post after a certain period of timeā€¦ So I wont be updating the equipment post with new equipmentā€¦

Equipment I Forgot to Post:
Summit Mosquito Bits
Bonide Neem Oil

Here is a general layout of my plans for this grow.

The Plan:

I plan on going from a solo cup, to a 3 gallon pot, then to a 5 gallon pot. Straight 6.5 pH water for the first 2 weeks of vegetative growth since Iā€™m using the FoxFarm Happy Frog. After those 2 weeks, I plan on using a half strength dosage of Jacks 321, then full strength afterwards until closer to end of flower. Looking into a bloom booster and a flushing solution. All feedings will be based off the typical Jacks schedule of:

3.6g - Jacks Part A, 5-12-26
2.4g - Jacks Part B, 15-0-0
1.2g - Epsom Salt

Going to start LST quite early, probably a few days after 3 gallon transplant. Not too sure yet, depends on how fast she bounces back. Top right after the 4th node once the internode to the 5th node has developed a bit.

Just did the gold leaf and the end product was amazing they take a while to ripen up but definitely on the list to do again. I start bending her over at around five nodes just make sure to use a counter tie or sstake something so she doesnā€™t get pulled up so if you bend her to the left up top counter the bottom at the base going to the right.

If grab a humidifier depending on where your located and maybe a dehumidifier too where Iā€™m at in the summer definitely need both.

Yeah I was thinking about a humidifier possiblyā€¦ Still not sure. The humidity is usually around 40-50. I know thatā€™s not considered the best range, however my last grow had no issues really.

Itā€™s not a bad range at all you can grow successfully at that just remember as they get bigger thatā€™s gonna raise so a dehumidifier may be more suitable cause when they go into flower RH spikes and you want to keep that down due to mild and bud rot
