So, I have been maintaining a grow journal under this same username on another forum (let's just say its acronym starts with an R and ends with a U and I don't remember what comes in between), but that forum keeps having server-related problems, so I'm going to transition it over here where things seem more stable.

I started out the grow intending to do a ScrOG setup in perpetuity, pruning the crap out of each plant for 100 days while I waited for the prior plant to flower, then taking a clone and releasing the bushy little "mother" under the screen while I start pruning the crap out of her clone. I ordered a pack of seeds from Attitude, and it came with a freebie Dinafem Super Silver seed. Well, that sounded way better than the "safari mix" I had ordered, so I decided to start with the freebie. Lucky for me, she popped! Here's a photo of my seedling, on day 3 from germination:




On day 4 or so I transplanted her from backyard soil into a potting soil/perlite mixture, and within days she was growing like mad. Here's one week after that first photo:



I wanted to maximize branching and take a lower-branch clone

as soon as possible, so I FIM'd her at the 3rd node. Here's a

shot I took a couple days later, showing the successful

results of the FIM:



At that point I had the plant under two 42w CFLs, one 2700k and the other 6500k:



At some point I added 2 more bulbs, each 26w 5000k. The plant was growing like a monster! Here it was just 5 days later:



Before long, the four uppermost branches were essentially completely blocking the light for the lowest two branches, so I decided to clip both of the lowest branches to be clones, and then within a day or two I switched the primary chamber to a 12/12 regime (from 20/4).

That concludes Part 1 of my journal recap... Part 2 will bring you up to date, which is Day 30 of flowering, Day 55 from germination.
