This thread is going to be my journey so far growing DP. This is my very first grow so I wasn't expected anything great I just wanted to gather as much knowledge as possible.

16/01/20
Planted X3 Durban Poison seeds in peat, each in thier own cardboard jiffy pot.
Placed seeds in a wardrobe fitted with a 10w blue LED, light was on for 8 hours a day.

Seedlings have emerged, I have added a 30w Plant Glo LED.
Moved seedlings into a large terrarium (was a lizard house) for humidity and temp control.

Have replanted seedlings into bigger pots.
Also tested my water pH which is sitting at 6.0, my water source is a rain water tank.

Have introduced Fert, I'm using a seaweed based concentrate with a high N ratio it's called power feed.
My water pH when this is added is 6.5 I started feeding them at 1/4 strength as to what was said on the bottle.

I think I'm in veg.
Plant growth has been quite lanky due to my lighting situation and possibly the fact that they are sativa.
I have topped the plants in hope to promote more vegative growth.

I think I got a tad excited, I have flushed the plants as I suspect nitrogen burn, the leaves are very dark in colour.

Have been holding off nutrients, there's been alot of Groth since I topped them.

03/03/20
Have topped the plants again and have added some form of reflective surface to the walls of my grow space as I felt like I wasn't getting the most of my light.
I have also re introduced Fert at 1/4 strength every 2 weeks.

10/03/20
Replanted plants into final pots and have placed them in a green house. I've also added a fluro light until my 250sp arrives.
Have also improved soil so it has better drainage.

17/03/20
Have been giving plants Fert at 1/2 strength every 2 weeks, still using power feed. Also gave plants a small dose of pot ash and used a trace element foliar spray.

25/03/20
Have increased fert to once a week still at 1/2 strength. Have also topped them again to increase the amount of bud sites. I'm going to start tieing down branches as I want to keep stress to a minimum.

01/04/20
My 250sp LED light has arrived so all the other lights I've been using have been ditched. Have also tied down a few branches.

I think the new light may be causing some heat problems as it's real bright so I've kept the door of the green house open to keep humidity down.
My plants have been on a 24 hour light cycle so far but with the new light I'm switching to 6/18 to try give the plants a break.

I was lazy and forgot to feed the plants, it took me a while to figure this out but I got there eventually.

Plants are going well have started giving nutrients at full strength once a week.
I'm going to switch them into flower on 15/05/20

Looks like they are doing really well.

Looks like they are doing really well.

Thanks I should be upto date with this journal soon, the plants are now in week 6 of flower :)

15/05/20
I have officially switched the plants, they are now on a 12/12 light cycle.
I have the lights on from 6am-6pm, my temp is sitting at 28°c with humidity sitting at 55%.

20/05/20
Plants have started throwing loads of pistils, I've held off my usual Fert and have started giving them liquid potash.
Depending on how much these girls stretch I'm probably going to move them Into a 3x1 wardrobe fitted with a fan and brackets to hold the light at a higher distance.
