Hello 420 mag members.
I am about to start my 1st ever grow journal.
The grow - I will be starting with 2 mothers Critical, and Fruit Spirit that I am in the process of growing now. Once they are ready I will cut clones from them and start the actual grow, most likely a few weeks from now. Hope by mid April...

The Grow Room - This is a 16'x4' room, with a 4'x4' veg room at one end and a 4'x4' flower room at the opposite end. The center is where I'll be storing supplies and a small bench for cutting drying etc...
Grow Lights - I will be using the Intelligent-Gro LED, GRO-114 lights
The Grow Medium - Will be a highly nutrient mineralized soil starting with some Happy Frog, and Pro-Mix HP with mycos, and a bunch of added minerals.
Pots - I have purchased some 1 pint, 3 gallon, and 5 gallon air pots that I will be using for this grow. 5 gallon pots for the moms, and 3 gallon for the clones babies. I'm not sure if these will be large enough to get them through flower or not. I may have to get a couple more of the 5 gallon ones if they get too big.
Feeding - Will be using T&J teas and foliar sprays once per week.
The story - I have a blood disorder HLAB27 that has caused me to have arthritis in many of my joints. I went through all of the steps as advised by my Doctor to get my Michigan MMJ card. This will be a legal MMJ grow.
I like the idea of the high brix veggies and also medicine for all of the great benifits it will have. I am not going to get into great detail here as you can research this to get the specifics, but if you don't know about high brix, it's where the soil is alive with microbes that break down the minerals in the soil, that are then carried into the plants. This extra nutrients gives the plan more flavor, better color, higher yields, more nutritious for the consumer and also a greater chance to fight off insects and diseases for the plant. I am hoping that these added minerals in the medicine will help even more to alleviate my joint pain. To date I have been on muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatory and pain killers with the occasional steroid shot. My doctor wants to put me on some of those genetic drugs out there like Enbrel. Those drugs and the ones I'm on currently are horrible for you, and the Enbrel has some nasty side affects. I am a rather young man still, typing this at the age of 36. So I have a lot of energy and emotianal investment here in this grow.
I am hoping for the 420 family to guide me along on this journey and steer me in the right direction, as this is my first ever MMJ grow. Grab a bean bag and some of your favorite meds and we shall en dour this together.
