My boss called and gave me the day off today, so I decided to take a few pics to update my grow journal

On a side note, I realize I love growing marijuana for multiple reasons:
1.) Pot is awesome.
2.) Pot growing is cathartic. Almost as much as smoking it!
3.) (This is the kicker) If I can get 3 ounces from these two plants, that's going to save me over a thousand bucks on dispensary costs! I've grown a vegetable garden for over a decade, and this by far has a chance to be the most financially lucrative garden ever!

Ok, I'll get off my soap box now... After reading Canniwhatsis ScrOG journal, then doing some more research, I decided to go the direction of training my Mango to spread out as to let in more light for the undergrowth of the plant. Because I don't have a lot of room for a screen, I thought I'd train with clothespins for now. It seems to have worked! By weighing down the main branches with pins (the clothespins are actually very light), there's been a lot of new growth that's now getting light and wanting to branch out. Just over night, leaves that hadn't been getting any light are now reaching for the stars! Thanks Can, I owe this effort to your grow log:thumbsup:

As for the Sharif, my Fox Farms Trio pack just arrived in the mail. 3 days ago I had given her some watered down VF-11 (1/4 strength). I think I'm going to give her straight water today or tomorrow, and wait for the next watering to give her the nutes. As for the mango, she's self contained in her Sunny Girl potting soil, so she should be good with little medium care for the long haul.

If anyone has anything to add, I'd be mighty appreciative:hippy: Here's the latest:
BenHerb Reviewed by BenHerb on . BenHerbs Mango & Mazar-I-Sharif 380w CFL Grow Hello everybody. I sort of stumbled into my first grow when I went to visit my favorite dispensary. They started selling plants, so I bought a clone (Mazar-I-Sharif), and 2 weeks later another (Mango). Here are the details and pictures that cover my first month.
