How to Use Homegrown Diaries – The Amazing New Online Platform to Help your Grow Turn Pro
Homegrown Diaries is a great new online platform for Homegrown customers to track and input the different stages of their grow cycle. Homegrown Diaries is a unique platform that gives cannabis cultivators the opportunity to document their whole grow cycle, from germination to the drying and curing stages.
Furthermore, our online platform factors elements such as the particular strain, grow space type and size, grow medium, lighting, start date, and more to give you and other users an accurate profile of your grow. This is useful for a number of reasons, chief among which are that it offers you the chance to analyze your own work, considering what you did wrong or right to end up with your final product.
Considering this, Homegrown Diaries also acts as a useful tool for other growers to study and learn from what you did, gleaming extremely useful advice from the success you achieved with your grow!

When it comes to updating your diary, you can add some advanced conditions if you so choose. These include specific light schedules, pH levels, substrate temperature, solution temperature, air humidity and more.
The features shown above are purely optional and are not requirements. If you’re a first time user, or short on time then maybe you won’t want to input all of these exact figures and measurements. However, overall they are here to help you and others keep track of all the different elements of growing cannabis in more detail.
You can also add further non-required elements such as training techniques to detail all the ways in which you have improved your grow overall. The training techniques include Low-Stress Training, High-Stress Training, Sea of Green, Screen of Green, Topping and more!
