WHITE WIDOW GROW JOURNAL 1st grow indoor

helpmehealtheworld · #1 08-15-2007, 08:23 AM

Hello all
Just thought I'd start this grow journal, so I can keep myself on target and gain any hints or tips all of you growers out there might be able to offer me. I have already got great wisdom and advice by Babygrow and Edsthreads who have been fantastic help

I'm about 5 or 6 weeks in veg. (I germinated 5 then about 4 or 5 days later germinated the remaining 5). The seeds are Dr Hemps white widow from the Netherlands. Have lost 2 plants at germination stage

and have remaining 8 babies which seem to be doing well. My set-up is quite simple. I'm using the BudBox 100X100x200 with 2 x 6" fans one sucking and one blowing and a 200wat enviro, I also have 250wat enviro RED SPEC for flowering. I am really defo please with these lights. Got a digital ph meter, thermo/humidity, my nutes are Bio-Biz grow and Bloom for flowering.

I think on inspection I have 2 possible males

showing already but not sure, so that would make 6 girls. I nearly give up on one and was about to bin it, you can see this one from the snap shots is the runt of the litter. Today is 15th August and will be re-potting tomorrow in larger pots as the 1ltr pots are just about done with. Gonna have to make a decision which babies get the bigger pots (7.5 ltr) and which ones get the 3 or 5 litre as I defo wont have room for all babies for the bigger pots...pfffft decisions decisions. Ok I will throw up some snapshots of how its went in the past 5 or 6 weeks. Ok thats all for now. I welcome any comments people. Rollitup rocks. Peace to you all.

Happy growing/toking

PS. If you wanna know how I got off to flying start check out this thread below about pre made systems, which is basically how I got my ball rolling. It really did help a complete newbie through the minefield of setting up the grow-op

Ignor the PH meter (the green one) its a piece of shit which I binned. Anyone thinking of buying these... dont..there cheap crap which dont work and give false readings, buy digital versionon ebay for about 12 to 15 quid (UK)

Fan is wrong way which I flipped over, air has to be sucked in, not blown out,, what dick I am..Newbie or what. Got fan now sucking in on low speed which is ample. Really do see the budbox swelling out and the air coming out of the side vents.

Following pics as of 30th July 2007

You can see browning of the leave, I think this was nute burn, or possible over/underwatering or lighting issues, just was not sure, but it was ok. Funny how I paniced like a dribbling wreack over this. lol

Got myself this little handy gadjet on ebay also very accurate and cheap too

Hello Folks
Just a quick update as promised. This is the 4rth Day of flowering 7 babies left under 250wat enviro red spec after a bit of a re-potting nightmare. But things seem to be fine. I have one girl for defo, I nearly binned this wee honey. The little runt baby has now caught up and taking over some of the others she seems to have the most beautiful deep purple stems running along side older green stems. If any of you guys know anything about this sort of poss. genetic trait I’d be keen to have your comments

The images of plants today were taken about half an hour after good feed so they look a bit droopy. Plants seem to be really healthy, touching wood. The babies are now getting a heaped tablespoon of syrup dissolved in a little hot water before adding to 2 gallons (10 litres) of feed along with 40 ml of BioBiz Bloom about 3 quarter strength this time, this is recommended Dutch stuff which is very dark and smells like coffee/chocolate. I reckon the Dutch know there stuff about nutes so I defo went with “EDTHREADS” advice along with babygrows logic on lights and stealth/power consumption. The BioBiz Bloom seems to have the correct NPK set-up so time will tell with this first grow.

The images seem to be coming out yellows but this is mainly due to red spec.

On a final note. I think from next time I will only germinate 6 babies at maximum as the BudBox whilst a really good set-up and environment is really pushed for room with this amount of plants I have just about only managed to squeeze in. Ok thats all for now, would welcome any comments anyone has.

Happy toking/rolling
Peace to you all
