Well this is a test grow, I will Grow two white widow fem and one ww auto from Seedsman.
For now I have a chair and a basic cfl light above the plants. Today is day one and the seeds germinated with the water glass mathod, 20hr in, then directly to soil, no tail visible by the time I planted but 48 hours later(24 in the dark +24 under cfl) they came out.... 😜
I already ordered the flowering lights, a mars hydro 96, but till they arrive I have to make this plants survive... don't mind the yeld size for now.
Soil is a mix of coco powder with peat moss, perliculite vermiculite and humus, no ph meter as it arrives in a month w the foxfarm ferts.
My goal is to figure out the limitations, and tryout a bit, with time put together a property grow space.
Had a damping down problem due to root fungus, manage the problem with air circulation, cinnamon powder in the top of the soil and water with hydrogen peroxide. They miraculously recovered after 7 days.
Finally move the plants to a better place, clean and organized.
Got a proper reflector and a 250w cfl, at 2700k - 17 000 lumens and have other 59w bulb in a dark spot to cover.
Lights are a palm closes to the plants, and just started using fox farm nutrients in this week, not PH ing the water yet.
This week started bad , had an issue with a pre mixed neem oil solution, I used mainly because of some little insects here and there, became afraid to get fungus gnats, the neem application with the lights off and lightly applied resulted in some serious damage to the plants, the leafs burned a lot, in a magnesium deficiency like apereance...
I had to extract some of the leafs, two days later they started to grow again, after a good feeding.
The auto flower one didn't autoflower, can be because off the inicial stress but no idea why, just hope the sex to be ok, the auto is not trained at all.
One of the photos was topped and it woked well, you can notice two tops on the side of the removed part and the lower part produced similar appearance branches trying to reach.
The other photo was FIM ed, that didn't work, I think, the main cola seamed to continue growing after a day or two, so I topped that too today.
Cheers!
Very chilled week, finally no problems, and the plants look healthy!
Some leaves have missing spots, looks like some bug eat it but can't find any around... Have switched last Sunday to 12/12 light schedule, and the plants are growing with vigor, you can see the flowers starting to form, I guess, all of them are female and showed some pistils on the branches.
Hope it gets ready soon! Can't wait!
Nice and smooth, huge battle, got almost rid of gnats, and everything is under control.
Leafs look mid green and no deficiencies or nutrient burn is showing for now.
The auto is producing many pistils and one of the photos is starting now, the other photo is a bit behind.
...Soil feels more dry quickly than before so they are drinking more... Though is hard to tell how often to water, need to learn how to dose on point.
Cheers
Up and running, everything smooth, growing a lot.
The lesson I got is that my space is just too small for 3 plants in 5 gal smart pots... will update the space soon and invest in a LED.
Started giving some TOP CANDY from Topcrop fertilizers, smells sweet as molasses...
Now growth in height stoped but the flowers are gaining weight and becoming wider.
The auto is in a bad spot and receiving less hours of light that it should, so a bit of a disaster, is looking so so, with skini small flowers...
Will do some rqs northern lights auto next time to feel how a real auto behave!
All going forward! In theory two weeks to go.
I notice one of the photoperiod plants is growing very differently, stems are purple could be stress related but i'm not sure, and the flowers are more white and vibrant, is taking longer to mature, and pistils to become amber, in addition to that i'm suspecting it is becoming a hermaphrodite, made some detail pics if anyone has experience with that, i would appreciate the opinion! Cheers
Growing the with plant was nice, passed true a lot of problems, since i started with a very basic setup, and no knowledge. The conclusion is that is possible to use a 250W big cfl with a reflector and obtain some results, this results are limited and not comparable to robust LEDs and HPSs. Using this platform was very pleasant and had the help of more experience growers, i thank everyone that took the time to look at my first diary and also helped me! Happy growing everyone, and all the best! ! 😎👊: 1:00
As described on the previews post, this is the remaining plant, the buds are bigger then the others, 3 of them are massive, and lots of smaller ones along the stems.
This plant was more defoliated in the las week of veg, it certainly payed off some how. Genetics should be the same but the plants looked very distinct in all matters, it was a free gift from Seedsman, and it came in to ziplock bags, so you are never certain... In the end of the week or in max another week it will be harvest time again. 😀
Strong forgiving strain, diferent phenos go on depending on the seed..
-cure update-
After curing the buds, potency whent up, depending on the bud potency also varies, and is strong two puffs is more than enought for me. Taste improved 200% and smell also changed a lot and is more singular some how. Then the joint is on is like an delicious insence like scent, is strong and pungent also so is very delectable, outdoor smoking is advisable in a discreat place, oase the doors behind becaus it invades places like barbicue does 😂! Enjoy👊🏻
