Hi there!
First grow journal here on rollitup. I´m writing this because I´d love it if other growers (or any cannabis fans for that matter) could give me some feedback and/or pointers for future grows.
If I leave out any information you'd like, just ask and I'll do my best to provide it.
Currently i'm 30 days into flower with 4 plants. So this first post will have most of the information worth mentioning from most of the grow.
But first! My set up.
I grow in a small 60x60x140cm Secret Jardin grow tent.
I use a 125mm fan (182m3) connected to a small 225x125mm carbon filter for my exhaust.
I only have passive air intake.
For extra airflow under my canopy I have a 125mm PC fan hooked up to a old USB charger.
My light is a Mars Hydro Reflector 96 LED light (first grow using it), which arrived just before I switched to 12/12.
The light used for veg was a Mammoth fluorescent 2x75w. This one never delivered during flower, so decided to upgrade it.
In the tent I have a thermometer and hygrometer, both analog.
Temperature is a steady 25° and the humidity around 60RH during veg, and 40 to 50RH while flowering, depending on how long ago i watered.
I'm currently flowering 4 plants (2x OG, 2x Caramel) with a DIY scrog screen, made from a wooden frame and plant wires to make a grid with 5x5cm openings.
Each plant has a 18 liter pot filled with Canna Terra pro soil.
For nutes I use Plagron Grow, Flower, and Suger Royal (and PH up and PH down of course) once per week.
Plants get watered when the first 3cm of soil is dry, which is usually once per week. 2liter per plant, Ph between 6 and 6.5, with nutes.
All plants are topped once, and scrogged when they were about 20cm tall.
Journal
May 10.Watered seeds on to germinate. Put them between wet kitchen paper in a mason jar, inside a closet.
Put the seeds into their pots on may 15 after sprouting. No water, no lights.
may 20 they got 1L water with ph 6.6, just to make sure the soil wouldn't dry completely. Girls were just getting their first set of leafs by now.
May 25, another 1L of water for each pot, this time with about 1/4 of recommend nutes. Ph 6.5.
June 2, plants were showing their fifth node, to cut them back to the third node to top them.
June 4, after some time to recover from the stress, I watered them with 2L each, 1/2 dose of nutes. Ph of 6.3.
Jun 18, watered 2L per pot again, this time with recommended dose of nutes. Ph 6.2.
July 05, finally got my new light. Placed it in the tent, flowered 2L water with full dose of nutes, PH 6.2, and switched to 12/12 light cycle.
July 08, This is where it gets tricky, I'll be going camping the next 12 days or so. I have a house sitter but he doesn't have green fingers at all. I told him to water the plants if the start to look droopy, but please don't do anything else. Which is what he did.
July 20, came back from camping. Flowers are doing great but I forgot about stretching. Nothing is still under the scrog screen, due to growth i can't raise the screen, and the stems are to stiff to push back under. Not quite sure what I'm supposed to do at this time.
July 21. Still not sure what to do, but i'm running out of space height wise. Decide I can try to bend the plants to put them under the screen again. The screen is pretty solid so it should hold, I'm just not sure if the plants wont break on me. A hour later, and a good headace due to the bright light (wearing sun glasses now whenever I look at the plants under the light for longer than 5 minutes) most of the plants are under the scrog screen one way or another. Snapped a good few branches, but they didn't come off. I'm hoping it's more of a supercrop than anything else and I'm praying they will recover. I never supercropped at all, while I did have experience with breaking my plants when I didn't mean to, really anxious few days coming up. I also watered them with 2L per pot, PH 6.5 and some extra nutes - Grow and flower ( too make up for the abuse I suppose).
July 29, watered with a 2L water per pot, PH 6.4. 2ml grow nutes per liter, 4ml flower nutes per liter, 2ml of sugar royal per liter. Plants are looking pretty good, defoiled a bit because leafs were getting burned because there were too many of them.
August 07, watered 2L per pot, 1ml grow nutes per liter, 5ml flower nutes per liter, 5ml sugar royal per liter.
Layout of the canopy isn't ideal, but it's not terrible either.
Update coming as soon as there is something to update. Next watering probably.
Thanks for reading!

Chopped all infected parts and defoiled to increase airflow and decrease humidity. Hope it doesn't spread.
