Grow Journal
Introduction
This is my first grow journal, which documents a Legal Medical Marijuana grow under the laws of the State of California.
This is my second grow, with the first being a small one of Super Silver Haze that yielded almost exactly a pound. The quality was on the low-end due my lack of experience, but was still satisfying enough for a first attempt.
The current grow of Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze (Mysta Cut) is now starting its 5th week of flowering and looking very good. One reason for launching this grow journal is to get any tips or advice from forum members here that will help me keep it that way. All input will be very much appreciated.

Here’s the set-up for my small indoor hydroponic garden. It’s a completely closed system so that I can run the CO2 during the entire grow. To the right is the inline fan and A/C unit. I have the ducting set up so that the inline fan pulls air through the light and reflector, as well as from the exhaust of the A/C unit, and sends the hot air into the attic. I used plastic tarp material, six-inch ducting, and ducting tape to construct the A/C intake and outtake ducting to and from the hut as well as the exhaust ducting from the back of the unit to the inline fan.
On the left side of the hut is the CO2 tank and homemade carbon air filter, which is located at the intake of the ducting running to the light and reflector. I run CO2 for 30 seconds every 15 minutes using the CAP ART-DNe timer.
Inside the hut are some fans and, depending upon the stage of the grow, either the dehumidifier or the humidifier.
I have found that by monitoring and adjusting the A/C unit as needed, I am able to keep the temperature around 76-80 degrees F with rH 45-50% during the day, with nighttime temperature around 64-68 degrees F with rH at 50-60%. Trimming has also helped with this, as we will see in a future posting. In the first days I used the humidifier until Day 8 of flowering, and then switched to the dehumidfier on the 10th day.
This setup cost about $2500. With nutrients, miscellaneous purchases, and electricity, this grow will end up costing about an additional $500.
