I decided to make a Grow Log series that follows along with my indoor plants! There's a written section and a video for each update, talking about what I'm doing & my thought process behind everything. This will be a master "thread" that gets updated over time but I want to keep everything in one place and as organized as possible. If you have suggestions for how to do it better, let me know! Here's the details of my setup: ------------------------------- 🏠 Indoors ⛺ 4x4 Tent - AC Infinity ☀️ LED Lights - Highgrove Magnolia 6 or 8, I can't remember the name 🪱 Homemade living soil mix in 30 gal pots ; 2nd round in this soil (You can find the recipe in the Classroom) I'm starting from clone, using the original breeder's cuts (supposedly) of the following strains: Blue Dream GG #4 Lavender Madd Fruit These were preserved from the 90's - 2000's era from the original breeders (or someone in their circles), and are super special to me. I have a bunch of others to run through but these were the first ones ready. They're supposed to be some pretty elite cuts, and I'm honored to have been gifted them. I'll try to showcase cool traits as we go. ------------------------------- ⬇️ Everything below here will be grow log updates, numbered and roughly dated. The videos will be at the bottom of the post and labeled to match with the written posts. ⬇️ ------------------------------- ------------- 🌱 UPDATE #1 (December 25th) - Early Veg YouTube link: https://youtu.be/QhkxVZe90rE I haven’t done very much besides transplanting plants and watering a few times. I added some microbes as soon as I got plants in the soil but that's about it. It's a pain to mix your own soil, but if done correctly it does most of the work for you! I'm using "Rootwise Mycrobe Complete" as my microbes product right now, but I change it occasionally. It’s been about 10 days since the last watering, and I left them on their own for a week while I was out town without any problems.

Hey bud buddies! I wondered what y'all do in the event of rain when your plants are in flower? Mine are in the end stages of flowering, and I know moisture and flower is no bueno so I brought my babies inside. They are in smaller pots, so this is possible now, but I want to grow my set-up eventually and I'm curious what I would need to ensure success. Any and all tips are much appreciated! Much love.

Hey all! I've got my second outdoor run with auto flower seeds going. They seem to be happy and growing well, but they won't bush out, they just grow straight up. Any tips for how to get them bushier? They are both "Cliffords" from Hooligan auto. Also, on the taller one, I trimmed a bunch of fan leaves off of her. They were so big, they were creating too much shade on the rest of the plant. Did I perhaps trim too many fan leaves off of her? It seems to me that the taller one will produce a little bit more flower, but the smaller one i think is going to have some super tight buds. Any tips are greatly appreciated! I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! 😁

This year has been a weird one. It’s been so hot here that Christmas totally snuck up on me, and I didn't really feel the Christmas vibes until it was here. That said, this year I’ve been able to have some of the most loving people around me, and I feel blessed to have such strong support systems & authentic relationships with great people in my life. I’m trying to take a little time to appreciate all the experiences (both good & bad) that have shaped my life into where I’m at today, and to be grateful for both of them. I’ve had lots of change this year, but I’m happy with the way things have played out in the long term, even if I might not have recognized that at the time. I’m getting a little wordy, but I have lots of love in my heart this year & I hope some of you are able to feel the same way despite how crazy life can be sometimes. I’m very grateful for all of you on here, as well as the people in my daily life who make small moments special. I hope everyone has a great Christmas / New Year / holiday season! Try to be nice to yourself. Much love, as always. - Jake

Hey y’all, figured I’d share a little bit about what’s been going on in my life. I finally proposed to my lady (she’s great), and we both took a week off work for a trip over to California! We’re spending a few days in San Diego, and a few more near the LA area but I’ll be out of town until Dec 14/15th on our little vacation. It’s been a great trip so far, but I probably won’t be super active on here besides responding to people. If you happen to know about some cool stuff that I should check out while I’m here, let me know! Much love to everyone!
