I will keep the report simple, providing (painful) details if called for or asked.
To start things off, I would like to dedicate this report to the "good" people at the Rokerij Coffeeshops who've served, and in some cases befriended, the stoners of the world. My hat is off to you, and I wish you all good fortunes in your future endeavors.
Ok, let's get started. First I will list the equipment I used, fairly basic and straight forward. Next, I will describe the vegetation period to include germinating, seedling, and the 18 hour photo-period. I will then follow with the flowering period which will mostly consist of pictures with brief comments. Moving on from flowering, there will be a brief bit about the harvest, which will lead into the drying/curing process. Finally, my summation and conclusion which will include comments about the cured bud, hash/oil, resources expended (costs), and final thoughts.

VEGETATION
Germination and Seedling
Day 1 - I opened the seed pack and gave a good once over, looking at the seeds using a magnifying glass, and the seeds all looked good.
I placed the seeds into a drinking glass filled half way with warm (25c) tap water. I placed the glass near the heater to maintain 25c for 24 hours.
Day 2 - After 24hrs, I placed the seeds on a moistened paper towel and folded the towel in half, covering the seeds. I kept the paper towel moist but not soaked.
Day 4 - On the morning of the third day all five seeds had sprouted a small root... yay, we're pregnant.
I gently placed the germinated seeds into prepared Jiffy pellets, and the pellets into a plastic container (moisture/temp control).
Day 6 - Two days later they all broke the surface. Here is a picture at the end of the second day.
I kept the jiffy's moist over the next week using a spray bottle filled with warm tap water.
After one week, all of the plants had roots sticking out of the jiffy pellets, so it was time to transplant into the 10 liter containers.
I continued using the spray bottle to water the plants given that they were still quite small. Also, I didn't use any plant food because the soil had enough.
Day 25 - As with most potted plants, the soil will compact over time, leaving a space between the top soil and the top of the container. Because I want to enable the plant to grow surface roots, I cover the top soil with expanded clay pellets. Some may use the top soil method to determine when to feed the plants, I use the "kick the can" method. Also, I don't like the soil to dry out - bad for the roots, bad for the plant. Too easy...
Day 29
Day 32
Day 39
Day 39 Dual-branched node, freak of nature...
Day 45 Dual-branch
Day 48 - Last day of vegetation.
I will end this segment at the last day of vegetation. When I return I will provide a little detail of what transpired during the vegetation period. Be warned, it will be slightly boring, so I promise to keep it short.
Happy farming...
but one should always 
I forgot to list it. Stopped working after the 6th week.) to a 12hr photo period and let the flowering begin. Three days later all of the fan leaves had recovered and all was well in this stoners crop.
