Hey everyone, thanks for tunning in! Im new to the grow journal world but not so new to writing and growing catagory so this should be a blast!
Id like to first explain a bit about myself, the lovey grower of these amazing beans I was gifted by Ras at HSO in Spain. I go by Soil Man Dan and have been gardening almost 15 years now, thats half my life! So do the math I have an avid background in soil and compost and am a huge advocate for LED grow lights as an amazing alternative to HID lighting. I was raised on a farm the younger years of my life in a smaller hippy town north of San Francisco and have always had a passion for gardening. I wanted to start a grow journal to help showcase the genetics that were gifted to me. The required skills of growing your own indoors, and to show off the quality that LEDs have reached in the marketplace. I am confident if you follow this grow with me, and ask questions along the way. Not only will you be able to sucessfully grow your own indoors. But you will see the true benefits of growing with LED grow lights.
Now lets talk a little bit about what will be going in to this grow. As mentioned above, I was gifted seeds from the main breeder at HSO, Ras and the ones we have chosen to start with are the Gorilla Breath and OGKZ. The Gorilla breath is a nice gassy cross of gorilla glue also know as GG4 for copyright reasons and the legendary OGKB. The combination of these two is sure to leave your carbon filters begging for a break! Next up, the OGKZ is a beautiful mix of that sweet candy strain that you can always pick our with your nose, Zkittles and the legendary OGKB as well.
The OGKB is known to add density and potency to anything it touches so I cannot wait to see how these two flourish! These seeds are feminized and there will be no need to seperate males on this run. They are planted in foxfarm light warrior soil, my number one choice for seedlings and they were sowed directly in red cups in the dirt. No soaking, no napkins, real life style. For lighting, the seedlings were started under a Kind LED X40 bar light in a smaller cabinet space and will be moved to a Gorilla Grow tent 4x4 for the remainder of the veg and flower stages. I am choosing to go with my faithful and proven successful Kind led xl1000 for them to live the remainder of their time under.
It comes equipped with a fully adjustable spectrum, built in timers and is a more than comparable replacement to an HID 1000 watt light, plus it only pulls 630watts from the wall! For nutrients, I will be using a company called Lotus Nutrients. They are a bit newer to the game but are not lacking anywhere in results. A water soluble fertilizer that has kept my plants looking amazing since the switch. The last harvest I had was some of the most amazing taste I have encountered and i think the fertilizer and led played a great part in that. LEDs really help with terpenes and resins production and help can jumpstart your grow to the next level. I think that pretty much sums up the setup so lets jump into the grow and see whats going on.
The seedlings were planted on January 11th
4 were planted, 2 of each and germination rate was 100 percent. Awesome start! Nice work Ras! They were placed under the X40 veg bar light by Kind LED and have been under there just over three weeks. You can see the amazing growth in this time below, happy little ladies! I love watching them dance as the fan blows them around! Roots are showing so transplant time is just around the corner. Stay tuned for the next update. We will talk about transplanting, watering schedules, when to move them to the next light, room temps and humidity. Thanks for tuning in to my first grow journal. Hope you enjoy! Much love CannaFam

. Just about to pop some HSO genetics in the dirt later today. 
They are looking wonderful and are really starting to develop. I still need to transplant as I am a little behind on that but they still look happy and healthy so they should be ok! I am currently watering with Ph 6.1 water every 3 to 4 days and they seem to really enjoy the Kind LED X40 X series bar light, the internodal spacing is amazing! Coming up on 2 months since planted these are really showing the slow growth signs on the OGKB parent.
