Default My First Grow - White Widow & Trainwreck
This is my first growing venture. I have a 3 x 3 tray over a 20 gallon reservoir. I'm using cfl's for starting & seedlings. I'm using a 400watt MH for Vegging (starting tomorrow for widow) and a 400watt HPS for flowering. I also have some cfl's for side light when vegging & flowering in the tray. I'm using Flora Nova nutes. I started a little over a month ago with some bag seed and a few weeks into it decided to order some good seeds and not waste the time & electricity with the regs.
I started with 10 White Widow seeds and 5 feminised Trainwreck seeds. Out of those I have 8 widow sprouts and all 5 Trainwreck's germinated and are just breaking the surface of the rockwool. I also have 2 sprouts from some free seeds they gave me (unknown strain). I know it's way too many for the size tray I have, I also built a grow cabinet to use just until I weed out the males and I'll be keeping one female from each strain for mother plants (I'm planning on having 6 - 9 females to flower if all goes well). Here's a couple pics of the seedlings. Feels free to post comments & suggestions in my journal, I need all the help I can get...

Yes it's my first grow and yes everything is on a timer. Right now they're still running at 24hrs on but I'll be switching them to 18/6 in a week or so. I plan on vegging them for at least 6 to 8 weeks (more if they need it) before I switch to 12/12. The 5 trainwreck seeds were feminised, the white widow were not.

Here are some pics of the widow and the 2 unknow strains, I planted them in the large rockwool cubes today and moved them to the tray in my room. The biggest plant in the pic on the back row is a week older then the rest, it's Thai Stick. There's so much glare off the foil on the top of the rockwool you can barely see the rest of the sprouts

There's also some pics of the grow box that I built for my mother plants. I went ahead and put the 3 bag seed plants I had in there and I'm gonna try to flower them instead of giving them to my friend. The box is in the same room but it's completely lightproof so it should work. the temp stays around 75-78. overall I'm very happy with how it turned out.

damn bro those bag seeds grew pretty damn fast and the grow box looks amazing but i'll keep checkin it out as it goes along i've had some problems lately mainly because im broke as fuck but i still haven't got my new ballast for my metal halide and high pressure sodium bulbs and i've been such a dumb ass cause i didnt realize i had my warm white bulbs in my fixtures for about a month and i always use my cool white bulbs for vegging so my plants have been growing terriblly slow cause those bulbs suck for vegging i use the warm spectrum bulbs for flowering along with my high pressure sodium bullb but i switched them out so everything should shoot up pretty quick but im very behind on my schedule but without a job i dont have shit for money so my two plants that are gonna be ready to flower in about 3 more weeks i guess i'll just be using my warm spectrum bulbs alone but its gonna be fine cause i have five fixtures which contain two bulbs in each one and each bulb puts off 3400 lumens and they are 40watts so that equals about 450watts all together but i really screwed up this grow but its cool cause they are all mid grades i was just trying to have a quick grow so i could make a little bit of money but one of those hawaiian inica big bud seeds has cracked and its about a half inch out so im gonna plant it in a few days i found out something that i was doing wrong i guess ur not supposed to let them germinate until they come all the way out of the shell which is what i have always done but i guess it damages the tap roots when u do so im not goin to anymore but these plants are only supposed to reach 50cm which is fuckin short and they yield a shit load of bud i dont know if u have ever read up on big bud but u should its really good if u want a quick grow and a lot of bud but anyways im glad everything is goin awesome for u bro hopefully things turn around for me lol... take it easy

Thanks bro, I'm loving how the box turned out, I surprised myself. Going by everything I've read so far, you should plant them as soon as the shoot is poking out of the shell & not let it grow long at all. I planted all of theses with just the very tip of the shoot poking out and they all sprouted. No worries, I'm sure that big bud seed will be ok, I hope so anyways cuz I'm dying to see how it turns out. I'll post some pics tonight or tomorrow, my widow & trainwreck seedlings are taking off...

A friend of mine has a bunch of feminised skunk #1 seeds germinating and there's a good chance he'll end up with a few extras and he said I could have them if he does. If so, I think I'm gonna ditch my 2 mystery plants (free seeds) and maybe the thai stick also to make room for them. I figure I'm better off with 3 feminised plants then some free seeds that could be worthless males. We'll see what happens...

I added some more side light using the light hood from my aerogarden. Here are some pics...

This shows the aerogarden light mounted (for side light):
This is the Thai Stick, 1 week older than the rest & looking good:
My best looking White Widow:
My best looking Trainwreck (shitty pic):
My best looking free seed (unknown strain):
And this one is just to show how the set-up is looking:

So my friend ended up with 4 extra feminised skunk #11 sprouts that he didn't have room for so he gave them to me. To make room for them, I got rid of the single Thai Stick, the 2 unknown strains and 1 of the Trainwreck sprouts that was way behind the rest and seemed to be having problems. I think it will be much easier for me now since I'm working with 3 strains instead of 5, and I replaced 4 non-feminised plants with feminised.

Just for clarification, I now have 8 (Dutch Passion) White Widow, 4 (Greenhouse Feminised) Trainwreck and 4 (Dutch Passion feminised) Skunk #11. I hope these 3 strains are similar in size...lol. I'll post some pics tonight.

Just got done topping off my reservior. PH is at 6.1. I still have my nutes at half strength (PPM is 332). I'll be switching to full strength in a week or so. Here are some pics, all seems well.

feminised skunk #11 - 4 days old from seed

feminised trainwreck - 10 days old from seed

white widow - 12 days old from seed

here's a shot of all 16
