Dinafem Blue Widow

UPDATE: alright so as I said before, 100% germination rate with all seeds (all 5 blue widow & both CH9 seeds) So all 7 seeds are in labeled cups filled with a mix of about 80% coco coir, 10% extra pearlite, and 10% happy frog. theyre all underneath the 125w cfl bullb and hood waiting to sprout & start their life! the 4 blue widow seeds that popped first sprouted this morning, i checked on them at 6:40am and nothing... checked again at 12:30pm and all 4 sprouts... took 6 hours haha. the other 3 seeds should be sprouted here tomorrow morning as they popped a little later. anyways, here goes the FUN PART! leave some love fellow farmers

Ok so from now on I'll be doing weekly updates, all my ladies are sprouted now, odd... all sprouted on Halloween.. hmmmm.. so next update will be on the 7th of November... however I'll still be checking on my thread to see what you guys think (hopefully you guys leave me some love) Anywhoooo, this is the setup as of now, all 7 seedlings are under the 125 watts of flourescent haha until theyre big enough to go under the 400 watt. The first picture is of the setup, the 2nd picture is of the freshly sprouted CH9 seeds Humboldt, the 3rd is of CH9 seeds Aroma, and the last 5 pictures are of my precious Dinafem seeds Blue Widow. Leave some LOVE fellow farmers!

bumpin it up, 4 days til next update, they're not growing as fast as id like them too, but i suppose progress is progress no matter what. leave some LOVE

Might b becuz humidity lvls

humidity is generally from 50-60%

i had humidity problems at first and thats what i caused my slow growth i believe but now its one of my best looking girls i have!

you growing blue widow as well???

jamon i got it as a freebe a while back two great strains blueberry x white widow cant get better than that!! haha i also have whiteberry which is white widow x blueberry but i havnt started that one yet... i just put my girls into flower today so i will keep yuh up to date with how the blue widow comes along. what nutes yuh using?? i am using fox farms line

ya same here im using fox farms line up i.e.(grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, kangaroots, microbe brew, chaching, open sasame, beastie bloomz) what are you growing under??? post some pics brother

i would love to i need to get one of those high tech camras! i dont have the kangaroots or microbe brew how are those doing for ya? is this your first grow

the kangaroots & microbe brew work pretty good, you dont use them that much.. but for what you do use them, they're good. post some pics with a camera phone or something, thats what i do.... my seedlings are growing VERY slow & its irritating the shit outa me. I've seen grow journals and watched videos where from seed they grow the 3rd node withink 2 weeks... i don't know what im doing wrong.

Dude you just gotta be patient, you cant go by other pictures or other people's journals cause you don't have the same set up

Ya its hard to be patient though you know? anyways I moved the light up because I think it was too close, now its probably 3 or 4 inches away. The growth has picked up quite a bit i believe. Ill post some pics here in an hour or so.

Day 7 since sprout on Halloween:

First pic is just of the temporary setup until they go under the HID. Second pic is of all 7 seedlings, the 3rd and 4th pics are of the CH9 Humboldt and Aroma. The 5th-9th pic are the Blue Widows and the 10th pic I have a question about. The media that the seedlings are in is a mix of coco coir, happy frog, and pearlite... there seems to be white mold growing on top of the coco coir mix. The white stuff that grows on dog shit after its been sitting in the yard for a long time.. any advice? Do I need to transplant into seed starting mix or what?

So after some research, I've found that the white fungus that's growing on top of the media is caused by water not drying out quick enough, and not enough air circulation. This kinda makes me angry because I've read great things about coco coir.. and how its great for drainage.. it even mixed pearlite with it.. and I end up with fungus.. shoulda went with seed starting mix. Oh well.. it's completely harmless to the plants apparently I'll just scrape it away and water less I suppose.

Does anyone wanna leave some love for a fellow farmer? I'd appreciate some feedback for all of you who are subbed in. Lemme know how I'm doing. Much appreciated

in future always fill your cups to the very top. leaving the soil low in the cup promotes all sorts of problems like mould stem rot and other nasties as air doesnt want to circulate down there.

I'm interested in the light mover. I have some autoflowers sprouted just a day ahead of yours.

ya, i didnt really think about filling them up to the top. can i bury the stem and fill them up to the top? i don't know if that's an option as i foresee stem rot in that scenario. oh and i think only good things will come with the light mover.

Yes. Bury them up as far as you want...typically to the cotyledon. The stem will sprout new roots off it and be more stable for ya.

I'll sub and check out your show, I like the blue widow even though it's a little on the heavy side (indica) for me.

Cool, I really appreciate you subbin' in and checkin out the journal. I'm really looking for good feedback as this is my 3rd grow and the only one I've actually been real serious about. Thanks for the info on burying the stem too, that really helps me out as I was worried about the stretch that occurred initially. You're definitely welcome here buddy Leave some love.
