For document purposes I started germination on November 26, Seeds germinated in 1 day I potted them in plugs and they sprouted and had roots out the bottom in a 2 days. Things were looking good till I went to repot the last seedling. I looked over and the cat had stolen the poor little seedling, Fricken Cat. I might be having cat for dinner.
I'm trying to save it, time will tell.......

I will post the transplant pictures Monday.

Heres some pictures, This time i will let the ph fluctuate, they claim letting it float between 5.5 and 7.0 is common. we will see.
They are a little stretched but have stopped and may be thickening up now.

IndianRyder · Dec 8, 2009

been working sorry for the delay. Ok the plants stretched while I was away. So check this out i just flipped the plug over and bam!!! Check out my pictures, Its been 3 days since I flipped the plugs over. They look great.
Letting the pH float between 5.4 and 7.0 the nutrients i'm using are saying let it float. I like to run with scissors don't I.
I rooted a plant from my led grow in the 5 inch pot. good growth in the center, the 2 fan leaves are just about ready to fall off and here we go.

IndianRyder · Dec 15, 2009

After flipping the plants I decided to place them back up top to get some denser roots and thickness going before i move them down.
Cold as hell here, So i had to place a heater in the reservoir, My other grow got hell so I didn't want this to suffer too

IndianRyder · Dec 22, 2009

Well this is 10 times slower than the led grow. these are at 25 days its like watching water boil. They look great but slow growing. Flipping them over after they stretched worked and when I replant into the 400 hps side I will be placing them so the root cube is flush with the top of the 5 inch pots.
The mother plant is rooted and coming along nicely. I also started what we call river rat weed in the top all all are open and peeking out.

Just doing a quick update on this grow. Second grow is looking better and easier.
Little sprouts look nice and the growth in the lower section is starting to spurt. I will be going to every 10 days on nutrient changes, It seems to keep things in check better.
Anyway Pictures For All.

Coming along nicely. although im changing nutrients weekly to keep the pH in closer check. The River Rat seedlings took off big time. Catching up to the Widows. Its going to be a nice mix in the 400 HPS side.........lol

More progress pictures, Flipping them over did work, The stems are a little small but they are really thickening by the day.

IndianRyder · Jan 22, 2010

Next update for everybody, I couldn't stand struggling with nutrient deficiencies any longer so i switched to something more complete. although a bit spendy it was well worth it.
You can see a HUGE difference in every aspect, You couldn't convince me to switch to anything else right now. Look at the old leaves and the new growth in a quick hurry.
Happy Camper..........
1 plant has bright leaves, I believe it a young seed, but the root system looks great so I'm going with it.
I will be moving them over this weekend, They show good signs of preflowering.

mr.smileyface · Jan 26, 2010

looking good. little slow tho. when are you putting those into flower?

IndianRyder · Jan 29, 2010

Just getting ready to post pictures Saturday.

IndianRyder · Jan 29, 2010

Couldn't get pictures before the light went out and I had some males to deal with so it's good that I added 3 extra plants. I ended up with 5 females so I decided to bend the back 2 plants. Things look real nice and healthy. It's funny how different thing look with the right mix of nutrients. I've went 2 weeks and will be changing Nutrients Saturday, And not a hitch in the pH hardly had to adjust it at all.
The reason they were so slow getting to this point was because I placed them down to early and they stretched so i fold them over and had to wait.
You won't even recognize the plants, What a shame throwing 3 white widows in the trash...............

IndianRyder · Jan 30, 2010

More pictures.
-Front left and right plants are the river rat.
-The front middle plant was started 12/12 from seed.
-Back 2 are white widows, I'm bending those to get some better yield, there seem to like it. Got three more areas down low starting to show some flower. Should be fun to see grow. :weed:

A little high on the temp side, Running around 81 but steady and holding, might be a little stress from that.

The River Rat as we call it is a Afganica, Makes nice hash. And the White Widow is an Indica.
