This will be my second grow journal and second attempt at growing. Last time, I finished at slightly under 1 pound with the help of many great posters:
This time, we should get off to a much better start… I have a tent for starters and lights, so we won’t be tracking sunlight window sill to window sill for the first 3 weeks like we did last time…
Tent: 4x4 VivoSun
Lights: 2x HLG 260W
Nutrients: TBD, most likely Advanced Nutrients
Soil: Happy Frog
Follow along if you please!
I will be following the guide written by @Hellraiser pretty much to a T for this grow, particularly in the opening weeks. His thread made the success of my first grow possible, and I look forward to seeing what I can do following his lead from the start.
So, I had 5 seeds from Pacific Seed Bank… Alaskan Thunder F***, which I will refer to as ATF going forward.

48 hours later, we have some sprouts!
So, we are off to a good start. Hopefully, the other 2 plants will pop up and join the party by the end of the weekend.
Let’s set some goals for this grow…
Like I said, I grew just under a pound my first grow. I’m growing a different strain this time around, but let’s shoot to exceed the 1 pound barrier!
I want to grow more top shelf flowers. I had my own A, B, C, D ranking system last time around… I had a lot more C than A/B buds. Maybe that’s just the way it is, or maybe I can try to grow larger, denser buds this time around .
Good luck
Watching if that’s ok
Of course!
This is why I’ve moved from cleaning the bottom third of the plant to more like cleaning the bottom half of the plant of bud sites, minimizing C and D grade buds. But it’s a balance, remove more bud sites and yield goes down while bud size/quality goes up.
The other side of things is that the D grade buds- which to give you an idea were very small/larfy buds that I deemed not worthy of the time to trim- ended up creating incredible gummies. Combined with the trim from each plant, I ended up with about 1.5oz./plant for what we can call “byproducts.”
Every 1oz. Can be turned into about 40 good quality, potent gummies. (I will provide the exact figure today after I cook up my second batch). In my personal product testing, one of these gummies was enough to have me ‘wilin.
@Green707Thumb get your butt in here!
Here’s my 
- it’s in here now 
Lol so we basically doing this side by side with Papa @Hellraiser watching over - sweeeeet lol
Nice, I’ll follow your thread and help if I can with all of my <1 years experience!
Best of luck, friend!
Id like to follow your journey as well ! I got faith in you
Awesome, the more the merrier!
Speaking of awesome, all 5 seeds have sprouted as of this morning, so I’m going to call today Day 1 of the grow!
Day 1 11/25 Update:
Have to look closely, but they are up I promise!
I’m going to give them a few days to shed their seed shells and get their legs before turning the 6” fans on low to get some airflow and help build their strength.
Mind if I lurk around? 
I would mind if you didn’t!
I’m in, good luck Rock!
Cooked up some gummies tonight and made a right mess of it. Guava + strawberry flavored. That red color is like my favorite red I’ve ever seen.
Ended up with 30 gummies + 1 and 1/3 butter sized bars lol since I only have 2 gummy trays. All from jjst 1oz. of trim/larf.
Day 2 Update 11/26
As you can see, quite a bit of growth happening with all 5 plants, and luckily we don’t appear to have any stragglers at this point.
Picture taken just after I VERY CAREFULLY removed the seed shells from a couple plants. That’s why you will notice a couple of plants have leaves bent in a bit, they should open now that they can see the light and aren’t being trapped by the shells.
One of the only eds I’ve yet to make - bravo sir
