    Hello grass city. Im starting my grow journal kinda late, i apologize for that. But i figured its my first grow and i might as well.

    My plant is currently exactly 3 weeks old. Its been out of soil for 18 days, as it took 3 days to break ground. Ive had a fantastic time growing this plant. For the room its my closet, ive taken the sides for computers and put reflective Mylar to create a smaller more light reflective environment.

    Temp - Ive had a hard time keeping temp at 80, but now ive got it pretty mastered. Today its at 78 which is perfect as far as ive heard. Humidity have no clue, but i keep a mason jar full of water near the plant to keep humidity higher. Once i start flowering i will get rid of that. My house is quite dry and i live in Canada, and its winter so its a pretty dry environment.

    Water - I water her every 4-5 days. Usually 4 but if its still a bit damp i will wait til she gets nice and thirsty. Im using tap water that sits out for at least 50 hours to let the chemicals evaporate.

    Ventilation - One fan that i keep on 20 hours a day, and a computer fan wired to a cell phone charger i keep 24 hours a day. The plant always has the computer fan blowing on it, and the bigger fan i sometimes aim on the plant, but usually im just circulating the air.

    Soil - 100% sterilized organic soil, to be honest oi forget the brand but its similar to fox farm's soil mix. The ingredients were peat moss, humus, and a few other fully organic sources. I also mixed a little bag of worm castings into the bot when i transplanted for extra natural organic nutrients.

    Ferts - So far my beautiful lady hasn't had any ferts. Im starting ferts tomorrow (monday feb 28th.) Im still not 100% sure what fert to use, but i will update tomorrow, or tuesday, when i get some nute's into her. Any suggestions would be GREAT. (i am on a smallish budget though)

    Lights (all CFL) - two 30 watt 6500K bulbs hanging with a y divider, one 13 watt 5000k bulb, and two 13 w 2700k cfl.

    Strain - I used granddaddy purple for this grow. Please note the seed WAS bag seed. I wasnt expecting the plant to grow. But im glad i planted it. Its been a great learning experience.

    PH - As i wasn't expecting the seed to grow, i havnt bought a PH checker, however the plant shows no signs of PH problems as far as i know. And i will buy a PH checker very soon.

    Heres a couple pictures i took 5 minutes ago, and also a picture of when it started sprouting.
