Seasoned professional growers record as many details as they can from the grow and review it all after harvest. Key grow room data every grower should track The discipline of recording your grows also helps you remember more from them, such as fine details of your nutrient management for each strain at each stage of growth, the distance from the light to the canopy, grow room temperature range, grow room humidity at different stages of the year, pH & EC levels, drying/curing details etc. Writing down your results, both good and bad, creates a permanent record for you to refer to in future grows. Improving your grow skills comes with experience.

Note length of bloom and final height for each phenotype and rate the yield, ease of growth and smoke/vape quality. Record and remember growth in veg and stretch in bloom. Build a strong working knowledge of each strain you grow and rate them accurately.The main three benefits of a cannabis grow diary are as follows:

In addition a cannabis grow journal can highlight any errors you made (such as over/under feeding) and will act as a reminder to avoid the same mistake again. These learnings can become permanent improvements for future grows. Keeping a written/digital diary allows you to keep a record of the things which went well. Keeping an accurate mental record of all the details from years of growing is beyond most of us. A journal can capture all the details as well as offering some surprising benefits which can help you fine tune conditions for future grows and ultimately help you become a better grower! How much stretch do they show? Final height reached in bloom? Compatibility with SCROG? There’s a lot of going on in a typical cannabis grow. Each strain often has their own particular tendencies when it comes to rates of growth and nutrient appetite at various stages of development. If you have an eye for detail, there is a lot to monitor. Many of the most experienced growers keep detailed records of growth, nutrients and general observations in a grow diary/journal. What is a cannabis grow journal / diary?Ī grow diary is simply a record of all the important aspects of your grow. A grow diary helps you record small, but perhaps important aspects of your grow which otherwise may be forgotten when the next grow starts. For home growers, a grow diary allows a step-by-step record of the grow and is often a useful way for growers to spot things that are going well and not so well for each strain. A grow journal records all important aspects of the grow area and allows you to record your successes and failures. For many professional, licensed cannabis growers, keeping a grow journal is a non-negotiable, mandatory part of their job.
