My grow is done. I was a little disappointed in the quantify of chemical production on the plant. I was hoping for that "frosty" look so many try to achieve. I know that this was my first grow and there were many mistakes throughout this process. I believe that my errors in the initial stages of...

Just saw my first trichomes! There are so many flowers on the plant I am panicking trying to find tips on how to harvest and trim. They are so clear like small diamonds. So small. They are everywhere.

I sent my lady back into the vegetative state by forgetting to turn the light off. Oh my I am pissed.

Last week I had a massive attack on my lone female by a colony of aphides. I am unfamiliar with the signs but was able to destroy them in three days using "don't bug me" from Fox Farms. The lower leaves were wilted and I assumed it was over fertilization. The damage was caused by the root...

My lady NYC diesel is on automatic pilot. I didn't realize just how much more she continues to grow. The leaves are healthy and strong. I did have a bit of nutrient burn, I flushed and she's happy. More hairs everywhere. I just can't wait. I had a bad sciatic episode today. The muscle the nerve...

My only female is slowly growing up to be a lady. I am noticing more hairs on different parts of her now. The plant is about two feet tall and seems to be thriving. I am so excited, I seem to be a little too protective.

You live and learn and cannabis teaches you some very important lessons. I thought I could get away with package store fertilizers. For weeks my plants were weak yellowing and two plants near death. I went to the forum here and made the choice to buy the trio of Fox Farm food for my plants...

Don't be fool like I was, fluorescents can burn your plants too. I had an extended period where I could not open the closet to air the plants out. It was about 40 hours or less. When I opened the closet I noticed the temperature was in the high 80's low 90's. I noticed yellowing at the tips of...

I was so nervous. I had the chore of transplanting my cannabis but I had 50 pepper seed germinate. The reading and research I have done for growing my medicine is incredibly effective for growing food. Using similar technics I am growing corn, peppers, watermelon and asparagus. I have even...

I just wanted to journal my experiences in my journey to help myself be as pain free as possible. I did not come to the decision to grow lightly. I read for months about the benefits of cannabis use on my numerous injuries. I studied the different methods of growing and planned out how to do it...
