The feeding schedule they give you starts on week 1 and goes for a 12 week grow. I wont be giving the nutes until the...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    Today is day 17 and after last night's drooping scare I awoke to seven healthy ladies. They are growing quickly. I know I am close to transplanting and starting their first added nutrients so I'm not out of the woods yet. I hope to update often and add pictures as much as possible. Thanks again...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    2 weeks from planting and we have lots of growth, especially the runt who is small, but catching up to her sisters. The 3rd sets of leaves are emerging. Still no nutrients other than the soil. Power at 100% with the new leaf formation and no signs of heat stress. Temps are 77 degrees and R/H...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    On day 10 the girls have their second set of fan leaves starting to open and looking good. Today is watering day. I have been watering every 3rd day as the soil seems to fully dry out 2 days after watering. I can feel the weight difference when they are dry. Each time the plants are dry they...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    By day 6 all seven of the ladies are up and thriving...photosynthesis has begun as the first set of fan leaves are open for business. The tallest is getting a little stretchy so I'll keep an eye on her! I set two fans up to circulate a breeze that should help strengthen the stems. I'm happy with...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    The next morning, only about 30 hours from placing the seeds in wet towels, 4 of the seven had poked through. By day two 6 of the seven were erect with cotyledons. The lone seed still under the soil is the runt!

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    I purchased Fox Farm Ocean Forrest soil and their nutrient line from Amazon. I know FF soil already has nutrients so I don't plan on using any extra nutes until about week 3. My tap water is softened so I decided to use only distilled water to avoid any problems. I filled the 6" pots with the...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    As I stated before, I bought 7 feminized seeds from Attitude Seeds. I bought 5 seeds and got 2 of the same in freebies. I paid extra and ordered a tshirt with the seeds. The package arrived in about 10 days. I made a little germinating chamber by taking a 6" x 10" plastic container ($1. at...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    Woke this morning to find 7 perky little ladies. I will pay close attention tonight to see if this White Widow strain droops before lights out. When I saw the drooping and did some research I read that some plants droop before they go into dark phase. I'm not surprised by anything plant life...

    White Widow 1000W MH/HPS Closet Soil Grow

    For the first time I am seeing something that worries me. It seems 4 of the healthy plants have begun to show droopy leaves. They were watered this morning and looked great all day. I only had a little water leak out of the pots after watering so I'm sure I didn't over water them. Is this...
