Next you want to keep track of the plants height so you can tell how fast they are growing and if any of them are kind of slowing down and growth, or if they are getting too close to the grow light so that is why I also keep track of that distance. Next, the light mode or the dial percentages for your light, so for example sub lights have a bloom and a veg switch, or some of them will have three dials. Kind of like that bloom Beast I have going and there, and that has a Seedling a bed and a flower dial. So they go from 0 to 100% so you will see for that grow tent right now I have the seedling dial at 100%, as well as the veg dial, and then flower I have at just 20% because they just started flowering about a week ago.

Now some basic info on keeping track of the light schedule is, so for both of them right now it is 12:12 because they are in flower but if you were in Autoflower grow you would want to have it 18 plus hours a day and then you'd want to slowly increase that to a total of 24 hours on zero hours off per day as they start flowering. So you'll keep track of that here and I've got the time on and time off for the lights, so 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. is too late schedule. Next is trichome development now that we are over in flower that is definitely something you want to track so you know when to harvest or start your flush for the plants. So obviously these guys are really early on as they are just starting to develop pistols at those

Bud sites so there are no trichomes to be tracking yet. But if these were pretty developed buds, I would be looking to see what percentage of them were clear, how many of them were milky and of course how many were Amber is that is how I determine that flush. Alright so now the final in one of the more important sections you want to keep track of in your grow Journal is observations. So these will just be notes that you jot down about your plant that you notice looking at them throughout the day. So you will see some of the notes that I took Here, No Leaf burn or deficiencies anywhere, that is important because if you do start having those deficiencies you want to say what they look like so you can try and figure out what is causing it.

I also added that I did some defoliation today as that is important. I took some leaves or fan leaves off of the plant so you want to make a note of that. And I said no droopy leaves, no pests Insight or mold so that is good because you want to make sure that it is always like that and I actually added A fan down here below the canopy just to keep a little breeze going there, cuz the past and mold like to form Down Below in that area. And then of course I made a note about the new development at the bud sites with those added pistols.

So that is really it for what you want to be noting in your grow Journal. Obviously there will be some differences between flower and veg, what you want to keep track of their. In terms of the light schedules as well as the nutrients that you are feeding, but a good general rule of thumb to follow is to try and be as detailed as possible whenever you are riding in there. And to be sure to make note of anything you notice in there, such as any differences between any plans, any abnormalities, anything like that, because the more the better when it comes to taking these notes. Because if the issues do arise, it will be able to help you to figure out what was causing that issue. And then also looking back on those notes, it will help you to learn from your previous mistakes and I'll help you to improve on your growing skills.

All right GreenBox Growers, so that concludes today's video on the importance of keeping a grow journal for your cannabis plants. Now don't forget those three main reasons on why it is important to keep a grow Journal. So first of all it is going to allow you to learn from your mistakes and you will be able to improve as a grower from each row that you do, because you'll be able to compare what you did in that last one and then improve on it over the course of the next grow. Being able to look back on your notes after the end of a grows great because you can do some studying as well as research on where you maybe went wrong, or what things you did right. And again that way you can tweak it for the next grow that you do.

No second, and this is one of the more important ones, is going to allow you to look back on your notes during the course of the grow if something problem arises. And you will be able to use those notes to see if it was something you did in the past to the plants that caused this issue to arise. Or maybe you weren't using the right PH range or maybe you did too much nutrients during the last watering. And being able to look back on those notes to see what you did will be able to make sure that you can determine that mistake.

Now the third and final reason it is so important to keep a grow journal for your cannabis plants as it is going to allow you to always know where you are with your cannabis grow. For example with your watering schedule I like to do one nutrient feeding for every 3 plane at pH waterings. So the grow journals not going to just tell me which one of those waterings I am on, and what the next one is going to be. But I will be able to see what was the last nutrient mix that I use, so that I don't reuse the same one or go week back on the schedule. And I can continue forward properly.

You will also be able to see what strength you did you last make sat so that you'll know if you need to increase or decrease based on how the plant has reacted to it.
