WhiteWidow, First Grow

**sasarchiver** · 05-31-2007, 08:51 PM

hi guyz,
Well ive finally got started. I was away for 7weeks there and had no access to net, Grrrr, was pulling my hair out...Im very glad to be back. Brillant site u have here.

Anyways, what im growing and what with:

Nirvana White Widow seeds (10 pack)
1x 250w HID (sodium) light (thought it was 400, but it isnt)
1x 9" Oscillating FAN
John Innes compost
5x peat pots (had perlite in the mix but it drys out far too quick in the peat pots so i just did all medium)
Cupboard about 7ft high, 6ft wide and 2and1/2feet depth.

24-may-07
Sowed seeds on a saucer with kitchen paper. Dampend with water, put it in a plastic bag and placed in a warm dark room. Sowed 5 seeds.
30-may-07
All 5 seeds sprouting well. Was a nice sight to see all 5

Have to water them like every 4-6hours. Nightmare. Ill wait aweek before repotting, dont want to stress em out.
1-jun-07
All plants doing better than i expected, rather quicker. 1 seedling is abit slower than the others, so i may bin this runt of the litter. Not feeding yet, as there not even 1week old.

Alittle video, not great qual but will do. YouTube - My Seedlings 1stJun07

PICS: cant take a pic in the cupboard cos the screen on the cam goes all funny. Refresh rate probaly low as aint a gr8 cam.

28 may, the seeds starting to appear

1st june 2007

We are almost exactly on the same page as far as how far along in the grow we each are. It'll be good to have someone to compare everything to, especially since we both started almost EXACTLY at the same time and have the same strain.

Day 6 pictures (excuse the crap qual of the pic).

Only regret is i cant get dam perlite in local stores. Luckily the soil i got is very spongy texture, so as long as i dont squash it with watering, it should be ok
(fingers crossed)

BTW moved plants to about 10inches away from the light.

Day 8 of seedling growth. Looking good so far apart from were the plant got abit sunburnt lol moved plants down abit, seems to be ok, some damage already done.

**pntballking01** · 06-05-2007, 08:30 PM

Looking good except for the curling leaves on some of the plants - how much are you watering and how far away are your lights? To me it looks like heat stress, but I'm also inclined to ask if you are actually UNDER watering. Before my "incident" I was watering daily, but doing it via a water sprayer (on the mist setting), and they were looking fantastic. When I killed them I took some time to examine root growth and it was much more dense than I was expecting.

Keep up the good work, I'll be staying in touch.

hi pntballking01, sorry to hear about ur plants mate, must be a low blow for ya.
Well i moved plants down a little bit this morning again, about 4in, as another leave showed signs of curling again. I also changed my watering ways. Id usually let the plant soak water from the bottom, in a tray, but im now doing it from the top (plastic bootle with a few holes in lid and kept in cupboard for the heat.

the light is now about 2ft away from tip of plant.
