White Widow (Fem) Coco T5 Grow / Journal

Starting with 5 White Widow Fem seeds from ilgm
I am going on Day 8 on these babies...
Started in rockwool cubes after germination then into air prunned Dixie cups and will finish in 5 gallon air prunned buckets... I'll be using only coco coir and Botanicare KIND nutrients... My lights : Quantom BadBoy T5's. 8 bulb 400 watts in veg and 12 bulb 600 watt in flower.. Two grow tents 2x4 & 4x4. Here's my progress so far... Any input or help along the way is much appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome. You from around Nashville?

I used to grow with t5. It grows great bud, especially with mixed spectrum and uv.

Yep yep. Glad to hear about the T5s. Don't see alot of grows from start to finish with them. I'm hoping this grow does well I've really put alot of time and research before starting but can't REALLY learn until I get my hands dirty so here I am. Tired of paying for bud so it's time I grow my own

More shots of the grow so far

Looking good!

Thanks Whitebb. In what way? R u talking about the folier spay? They are in 100% coco so im feeding once a day until I get a run off with 5.8 pH water and a few nuts in small doses. I was doing 1ml of each in a gallon of water but just today I upped the dose of each nute to 3ml (Kind Base, Kind Grow and Calmag + ... In most of the pics I had just fed if your talking about the medium looking wet but from what I've studied when growing in straight Coco is to water with feed everyday.

Hey pal I'm using the same coco,

I'm just a week or two from harvest checkout my journal

I used two gal Square pots, and straight coco

And I feed every day, 1/3 dose flush with sm90 once a week

Supposed to feed every time, but towards the end when they Aren't drinking as much I cut back from two feeds a day to one feed in the morning..

And really I doubt you'll need those holes in your sides of the bucket. Coco drys pretty good ,

Also I would up pot those plants a few time until you get upto the 5 gal bucket. They'll never fill up with roots if you jump too big to soon and they just stay wet.

They just have that yellowish over watered look. In coco it usually ok to water every day.

Carry on unless they yellow more.

The holes are not to dry the coco but once roots reach the sides instead of root bound they will stop growing and start side branches root.. I use fabric pot/ similar concept and ive seen very nice root development.

Thanks for your input! I think it has to do with me misting them to much thru out the day. I didn't mist them at all yesterday after your comment and the lil bit of yellowing has gone away! Thanks bud!

What he said! That's exactly why I've made holes so that they air prune and to not get rootbound. I watched several videos on this before starting and loved the outcome. Can't never have too many roots!

I'll be sure to check it out man! Thanks for you input! I was thinking I'd prolly go to a one gallon after the Dixie cups then into the 5 gallon but from what I've seen air pruning is where it's at! It's not to dry the Coco out but to keep from getting rootbound and causing more roots.

Just wanted to show off how my veg tent is setup at the moment and see what y'all think. I'm using cheap $20 dollar duct fans from Amazon. One for pulling out hot air then another pulling in fresh cool air and seem to be working great for this 2x4 tent. At times it gets a lil warmer thank I like (82) so instead of a air conditioner I'm using my tower humidifier on cool mist outside the tent pulling all that cool moisture in and it gets to a cool 75 degrees and on the plus it keeps it nice and humid for my small plants. I wanna add that I also purchased 2 fan controllers for like $7 bucks of Amazon and they work fantastic! When the lights go out it's been getting a I lil cool since it's been getting kinda chilly here and being able to adjust the 240cfm duct fans really helps to keep the temp that I need for the most part. I have a small tower fan blowing just above the plants to give them a nice breeze for movement but not to cause wind burn and another clip fan blowing up towards the light moving what lil heat this T5 puts off (which is also sweet for controlling temps) I added a 3rd fan called power circulator by Honeywell that pivots up 90° to circulate air coming from the light and rising heat. Well just felt like sharing after a good smoke and to see if anyone would make any changes.I'll have my flower tent complete in due time.

Smoked a bowl of girl scout cookies tonight and then proceeded to give my young plants a photo shoot lol. I pulled them out the tent and made pics without being directly under the light this time and man they sure do look sexy to me. I added all 5 of them in a collage but did zero editing or enhancing just a good lens and good light. Being my first grow I'm taking pics everyday I see changes and can't share with just anyone so I'm sharing with my fellow growers

Sharing more pics. Can't stay out of my tent lol... Smoking on some Vanilla OG tonight let me know what y'all think about the plants so far.

They growing fast on me! Bout time to transplant. Having to feed twice a day. They drinking it up!

looking good! I would say its time to transplant for sure!! You can see the Indica in them for sure! look at them big broad leaves.
