First Grow - White Widow Fem - Soil - LED

Hey y'all!

This is my first attempt at growing my favorite plant, and I really hope I don't f*ck it up!

2×4×5 Grow tent, 2 exhaust fans, 1 circulating fan, 2-300 watt ViparSpectra LED lights. Reverse Osmosis water. FF Ocean Forest. Perlite. FF soil nutrients.

Received 5 seeds from Nirvana on 4/28/17 PM and started germinating 3 seeds via the paper towel method. They all had a decent taproot so I transplanted 4/30/2017 AM. Transplanted into 4" pots with 40% FFOF, 40% organic seed starter mix, 20% organic perlite. Put into moist soil and sprayed lightly with spray bottle once planted.

All three popped above the soil 4/31/2017 with the seed shells still on!! I guess I planted them a little to shallow. On the advice of some nice person at this site, I added a drop of water very gently on top of the shell to soften it. Did this twice.

As you can seed he was stuck tight!!

Woke up @530 this morning and took a peak at my girls. No change! They actually looked really dry so watered them. I've been having a problem keeping the humidity up so I grabbed some plastic sandwich bags and put one over each girl. I went back to sleeping for 2 hours and looked in to see that 2 girls had opened up!!

Sorry for the blurriness, my phone camera is broken and waiting for my insurance to replace.

Looks like you are ready to go, nice setup by the way. Im join to sub in if thats alright with you. I am on my first indoor grow also. Im growing autos, im on day 21 today. I have a journal you are welcome to come check it out. Its under tom smith first indoor grow with autos 2017. Best of luck to you.✌

All three have opened now, my beautiful girls!!

Just a thought...Those Jiffy peat pots, will leech water away faster than you would believe...too much work keeping the seedlings moist...rather be using Solo cups w/ drainage holes in the bottom. And no, they will not eventually dissolve if you plant them in soil w/ the ling!

 

[KitasCountryRoots]

Thanks, I think you're right, cause they dry up pretty quickly. When they outgrow the jiffy pots I'm transplanting into fabric pots

Glad to be of help..That's what I do///Solos then into smart pots!
Good Luck and nice looking plants!

Got these guys in yesterday. My replacement phone comes in today so I'll be able to take pictures from the back camera again.

I'm planning on doing some low stress training and a scrog, but I need to do a lot more research on it before the time comes. Any tips? Also, how soon would I have to start?

 

[Buzzer777]

IMHO...LST is the way to go...so easy to do..just do not bend brittle stems at all..
I would begin when the girls have maybe 4-5 nodes not counting the starter leaves ..
Just google it and lots will crop up..I got in a little trouble linking sites so I must refrain!

 

[KitasCountryRoots]

Yes I will be doing lst for sure, still undecided on the scrog. Being a first time grower, I dont want to overwhelm myself but i also need to keep my plants from ever getting over 3 ft or I'll outgrow my tent.

I can't use my back camera either. Lol this is a picture of the ceiling!

I just bent mine last night!

Far left front and far right back are CKS fem widows

I built my scrog for under $20 usd..string, pvc, removable legs, etc all from my local bog box store. not to hard to deal with..in fact will take the place of many bamboo support stakes to hopefully support the heavy colas.

Way to Grow!
Check out the scrog photos I just posted..
Scrog+LST is the way!

Looks awesome! I was planning on sizing the trellis to my grow tent, taking the top off and sliding it down. I've seen a couple videos of it that way, but we'll see how it actually works out.

When the girls first popped above the soil, one of them had the seed shell stuck on tight and she is pretty deformed. Do y'all think she'

ll outgrow it?

I plan on keeping 2 plants for my 2—4—5 tent, so it's no major loss, but I was thinking of transplanting one outside. We own 6 acres in the middle of bumfuck, tx so no one would see it. Lmao. Will she make it?
