Ok so this is my first post on the forums. Ive been browsing the forums for a while now and feel like I should contribute to the wealth of info here. I dont see any completed Brainstorm grow journals on here so it might actually be useful to some people. Following i have copied and pasted my notepad journal I was already keeping for my own use. Any comments are appreciated and the more people that comment on my thread the more involve the journal will be and the more i will keep you all updated. Thanks in advance to all that will undoubtedly be providing me with valuable help along the way. I havent grown in over 5 years so its pretty much a new thing all over again for me.

All plants are grown in a 2'x6' room. Vegetation under a 400w Metal halide and 5 100 watt CFL. Flowering will be lit by a 600w High
pressure sodium. Vegetation nutes will be a homebrew 20-20-20 that has all micronutrients. and flowering will be a 15-30-15 bloom yielder.
I will be fairly generous with the fert because I have a large water resevoir under each soil pot so it is easy to flush at the first sign of burning.
3.02.09 11PM Seeds soaked in water and planted. 11 seeds total 1 broke when soaking so planted a 2nd one with it in case it doesnt germinate.
Planted in 10 seperate pots. No pictures yet. Will start taking daily pics when they sprout. Soaked the potting soil and set to 24 hour
light cycle, will continue said cycle throughout vegetative stage.
3.05.09 No change. I have kept the soil damp and the light on and off for 3 days. No germination yet.
3.06.09 10AM 7 of 11 planted seeds have germinated overnight. After the leaves were fully erupted from the ground I soaked the pot.
The ones that have yet to come up I just heavily misted the surface soil. If the Other seeeds dont break soil soon I will put another 4 seeds
in the empty pots. They will only be 4 days behind the others.
3.07.09 10AM 10 of 11 plants in 9 out of 10 pots have sprouted. Flooded the pots after they sprouted and they responded well to the extra water.
This will be a seed grow. Im not going to be taking any clones.
3.08.09 9PM 11 of 11 seeds sprouted. The last 2 came out pale and yellow but both are recovering well after some healthy watering.7 or 8 of the sprouts
are a bit taller than the other 4 or 5. 3 to 4 inches tall and all have there first pointed leaves.
