Introduction
Well, if I can start this journal off anywhere I will have to start by mentioning the inspiration I have gained from the 420 Magazine and the people within it. The atmosphere and willingness to help by people around this site is next to none. I have met some great people here and the list continues to grow everyday. If I was to mention all the people that have inspired me to create this journal the list would be to long that I would probably forget to mention someone. So, everyone participating with and encouraging the positive environment keep it up because it doesn't go unnoticed. I'm honored to have a journal amongst the greats!
Anyway, lets get to it! I'm so excited to start this journey! I'm a Canadian grower. I have been using cannabis for about 10 years (not as a registered recipient) to treat my ADHD and other attention issues. Over the course of 2014 I was involved in a motor vehicle accident that gave my head a serious shake. It took me 6 months to recover well enough to return to work but, still with continuous back and knee pain. After 3 months at work I was then involved in a work accident that resulted in another head injury. I have been off work with intense back pain. In that time I was prescribed medicinal cannabis. And it sure feels great to be on the right side of the line
.
Never has growing my own cannabis been so important to me. I feel it is imperative that I take it slow and try to understand every step and process to ensure the most effective and reliable product. I believe in the 6 P's: Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

AUTO TUTANKHAMON
To create this autoflowering version Pyramid Seeds started from a cross between a ruderalis and an indication for greater size and rapid-flowering. They have obtained cross pollinated by Tutankhamon for a autoflowering with personality. This easy to grow herb is an excellent and productive plant, with a fresh fruit taste and long lasting psychoactive effects.
Genetics: Tutankhamon x Rudelaris and Indica
Indoor: 7/8 weeks
Outdoor: 55 days since seedling
Yield: 450-550 gr/m2
THC: 20%
CBD: 1.5%
CBN: 0.4%
AUTO ANESTHESIA
Anesthesia, is a mix of two selected strains such as Northern Lights and Black Domina, which result is an overwhelming hybrid; a plant with the features of a great Indica: delicious, rich in resins, dense and with an abundant dark green foliage, it’s very appropriate to become a mother because of its fast growing characteristics. This is a sedative and powerful plant. Moderate use is recommended. Anesthesia is very suitable to mitigate the effects of certain illnesses thanks to its unique behavior. Its cultivation is easy for beginners as well as for those who are after plants to clone successfully; and overall, for those who are looking for powerful effects and Indica aromas.
Genetics: Northern Lights and Black Domina
Indoor: 7 weeks
Yield: 550 g/m2
THC: 17% - 20%
Type: Indica
MATARO BLUE
This variety was the winner in the indica category of the 2012 Medicinal Canada Cup. Mataro Blue is a three-way cross featuring the best of several predominantly indica strains. Indica-rich Blueberries, a very good resin producer Afghan (Mazar-i-Sharif) and Black Domina. Mataro Blue forms a thick central bud, hardening because of the number of flowers that form overlapping bunches. Flowers, eventually becoming covered in a thick coat of sticky resin. The flowering cycle is 58-65 days, so it will be ready for harvesting in early September. It works very well outdoors, occupying a circumference of several square metres. With good trimming, the plants will grow into large bushes up to 2 m tall. The smell is very deep, with a hint of bitter orange and THC level is very high. It has been highly valued for its medicinal and therapeutic effects.
Genetics: Blueberry x Afghan x Black Domina
Indoor: 58-65 days
Yield: 500 g/m2
THC: 24%
Type: Indica
BLUEBERRY HEADBAND
Humboldt Seeds Organizations Blueberry Headband was bred from DJ Short’s original Blueberry and HSO’s F3 Emerald Headband. This strain has been bred for a few more generations to reach an F6 status. The aggressive and fast growth is ideal for SCROG but may need a little more nitrogen than normal and large, rock hard, egg shaped colas taper all the way down the stem but be aware not to trim too much off.
Genetics: Blueberry & Emerald Headband
Indoor:49-56 days
Yield: high
THC: 17%-20%
Type: 75%Indica 25%Sativa

Lights
I typically start seedlings in soil under CFL's (400w) then switch to 1x600W HPS after week 3/4
In my other thread I mentioned that I use the Micro Space Buckets however, after a quick temperature check I noticed I was pushin 110F. So, that explains my 50% germination rate for my last grow... I have since created a closet space for young seedlings and veg.
Soil
Unfortunately, as it is the middle of December in northern Canada there are not many locations to purchase gardening materials in my small town. So, at this time I an using your basic Miracle Gro soil with the Veg and Bloom. I'm hoping as time goes by I will be able to purchase the proper nutes.
Grow Space
I grow in a cold room in my basement that does not get directly heated or cooled. Concrete floors and 2 of the 4 walls are cider block. Temperature can get quite cold so I have a space heater that keeps the area about 70-80F lights off and on.
The room is also vented directly outside so smell, heat and air circulation is very manageable.
Now Let The Fun Begin
I really appreciate the advice, insight, criticisms and general conversation. This website would not be what it is without the constant interaction by growers and I love being apart of it!
Thanks for dropping by! There's a seat for everyone! Much Love!
