How often should I update my diary?
+
We recommend that you update your diary once a week as the diary keeping interface is divided into weeks. Thankfully, uploading your weekly information should be a quick and easy process. Our platform allows you to add images of your plants, what nutrients you’re using and more to really help you track your progress.
Why do you only have Homegrown Cannabis Co. strains?
+
Put simply, our database only contains our strains as we can only vouch for our genetics. There are many seed banks from around the world but to account for all them would be difficult, so
to keep everything unified and to ensure that our users can trade tips and tricks easily, we only allow for growers to input Homegrown strains.
When to start a Diary? Seed or Seedling?
+
You can essentially start your diary whenever you want. We would recommend starting from the seedling stage, as this is when growing truly begins, post-germination. While the main goal is to map out your grow from seed to harvest, it is entirely possible for you to open your diary at any point and go from there, or you could even input your diary information retroactively.
When to post harvest
+
Harvesting cannabis is not as simple as cutting the buds off and smoking them, it takes several weeks to fully complete the harvesting process. Therefore we would recommend that you first enter the primary harvest information and then return to add the dry weight and final quality information later.
