In honor of it being 4/20, I thought it would be fun to start a little grow documentary.
I received 5 free seeds with my last order from my regular vendor.
Cool! Free seeds!
Problem was, they never told me what strain it was. So instead of calling it “the Mystery Strain”,
I’m calling them Hanna’s Dream after my very best friend. I decided to grow a couple.
I grow indoors using tried and true old school methods. Compact fluorescents for seedlings, 600 watt Metal Halide for vegging and High Pressure Sodium during the flowering stage. On sunny days I will put them into the natural light coming in the large sliding glass doors.
I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil with extra perlite blended in. Pretty standard stuff. No nutes until two weeks into veg.
Reverse osmosis filtered well water. I live in an extremely dry climate, so spraying the foliage during the dark period helps with providing humidity.
I used the old wet paper towel method for germinating the seeds. Works great. Always does.
Germinated seeds went into plastic cups. Everyone does, right?
After the appearance of the 5th leaf set, they entered the vegetative phase. Out comes the old school 600w MH lamps. I transplanted them into 3.5 gallon black plastic containers.
They vegged for 5 weeks.
It soon became apparent that Hanna was Indica dominant, as can be seen by comparing her fan leafs to the known Columbian Gold sativa in the pic below. Nice wide leafs!
As of today, 4/20/19 Hanna is in her 3rd week of active flowering.
I’ll post some pics of her flowering progress later.

The pistils are getting more colorful.
