GreenThumb J's White Widow Clone Run RTF/DWC

Hey dusty, this is a great little veg lamp, if you are interested.. I know you just got a veg area going recently yea?
Sounds good I have three rooms a veg room w/a 96*3w topled reflector, a small closet w/ a 48*3w reflector and a nother closet w/ a lush lumenator. So three rooms alltogether using 500w. the flower rooms are built to foot print of leds but veg closet has lots of extra room I could fit that light in there,but money tight for next month or so.

With discount code, the lamp is like $130 with free shipping!
 
as long as i have the discount code.. i will notify people if Twilight ever takes down the discount. I doubt it tho.. they want people to buy their lamps (they work pretty well i gotta say for their price!!) and a discount is a great way to entice people to buy!!
 
Hello everyone!


GreenThumb J is back with another spending spree update!

Damn i sure love to spend money on my grow! Just the other day i order 10 airpots, 5.3gal (20L) each directly from the Airpot company website. was about $110 canadian, so $11 a pot!

Then, on wednesday, I went to the hydro store and picked up a 4'x4' flood table for $75 as well as a General Hydroponics Dual Diaphram 320gph air pump for $75 as well.

Let me tell you something. If you folks want a good reliable air pump with a solid warranty, that puts out more bubbles than a jacuzzi, this is the pump for you!!

I made some poop tea to give to all my plants i have currently and when using this air pump to brew the tea, the water was bubbling 2+ inches above the surface of the water. It looked like a gyser i'm serious! That was with only one of the 4 nozzles running with an airstone



A little update on the clones:

I just checked them in their 2gal pots that they are in and theres already roots starting to circle around near the bottom on 3 of the 6.

These clones will be ready for flower in about 4-6 weeks, with them being transplanted into their final 5.2gal Super Roots Air Pot and put on a drip ring for daily irrigation in 2 weeks. I'm hoping that each plant will pull in at least 4-6 zips for a total of 1.5-1.75lbs of dried product.

Along with the Widow thats in flower right now on day 9 since flowers that i'm estimating will pull in 1LB dried, or at least damn close to it, that will be a good harvest. More downtime between harvesting Large widow and harvesting Widow clones that i was hoping for, but if i want my clones to produce a decent sized harvest, i need to give them a good amount of veg time..



I will post a photo of what my clones looked like a month ago, and then i will compare them to what they look like now. i'm interested to see the amount of growth they have actually put on. The rapid growth is daily now, all the clones are either in that rapid growth stage, or are just about to hit it. The stragglers are finally catching their legs and putting on the vertical growth!

They were first under the 165w LED i have for my review, then i moved them under my 600w MH veg light after i moved the widow into the monster tent, and they have just exploded! I'm shocked that these things need to be transplanted already into bigger containers, i swear it was just 2 weeks ago i transplanted them into the 2gals!!!

Stay tuned everyone!

Oh boy! Why do I let you spend all our money?!... That could have easily been a nice spa day :laughtwo:

Oh right... Because growing is way better then anything else! :passitleft: Lets get medicated and transfer some plants! What could be better for a date night?! :woohoo:
 
Nice! we transplanted 14 little sprouts into 4" square pots..


Today marks day 1 of their lives (as per my record keeping!)

Heres what my veg area looks like currently!

AS you can see, its getting a little crowded in my bathtub haha. I'm just waiting for my Super roots Air pots to arrive then the clones need to be transplanted already into their final flowering pots. They will get about a week and a half after that to grow before going into the Monster tent on a 4x4 flood tray.

Date night was fun tonight. The Lady is really starting to take to this growing thing!
 
Hey man couples that grow together, grow toghter.
My wife loves it, shes getting pretty good too.
I'm gonna go out and get her season 9 of bones we love that show.

That's right they do!... We are watching prison break currently on Netflix.. Man that show is addicting!
 
:popcorn:
Looking very nice GreenThumb, you are getting crowded with clones, and your White Widow looks awesome. WW is my favorite strain I've grown so far, hope you like it too.
Keep up the good work.;)
 
Rado, i'll happily take a picture of my new flood table.. this thing is lovely.. i'm still drooling at it hahahaha

give me a moment.. i'll take a photo of the king of air pumps too!!

Hey stealth!

My White Widow in flower is really starting to stack up the buds now! there was literally no downtime between switching the lighting schedule and seeing bud formation. Maybe about 12 hours? Theres also been hardly NO stretch at all. This is due to how long my veg time has been. basically a 6 month veg time cause i planned to keep mothers for clones, but the longer a plant lives, the less vigorous the clones are i find. i think the plant has grown to its size potential in its current DWC container, thats why i'm not seeing any stretch, and just bud formation.

My first run with this strain i was less than impressed. The smoke was nice, but not what i was expecting. I needed to let it go another 3 weeks i think to get the quality i was looking for. Also that extra time was needed for the trichome production too. This time she's going to go a minimum 10 weeks to ripen up fully!

I Take into consideration the fact that i let the DWC tubs run dry on one of the Widow plants, and the other got low a couple times. Not to mention i think i had a little bit longer running phenos, which are different than the plant i have in flower.

The one in flower grew one main stalk and was going to grow one main cola until i topped her about 2-3 months ago, then she got topped about 10 more times since then. The other phenotype that i flowered out in my first grow, that plant naturally topped itself. It started off all retarded looking, then as it grew vertically, it showed that it was growing 4 separate tops, which produced a really nice bush during flower.

The White widow offspring that was created with the the Great White Shark pollen is growing just exactly like its WW mother. Retarded looking, then rapidly growing 4+ tops, just a little more vigorous due to the GWS genetics introduced. Although, this is almost like a backcross, since WW is parenting genetics to the GWS. So thats why i have been seeing very uniform growth structure with these plants from seeds i made. I was expecting a bunch of freak plants and such, not vigorous growing plants that all germinated 100% and are all uniform!

I should mention that all the seeds that came from my previous grow (with the exception of seeds that managed to get into the bud buster inside buds i was about to smoke) have all germinated and planted in 1.5" rockwool cubes within 48 hours.

Thats better germination rates than i have had with seeds purchased from professional breeders!

Anyways.. time to upload a nice bunch of photos I took for Radogast and for Stealthgrow!

First bunch is going to be the Flood table, the General Hydroponic Dual Diaphragm air pump and a couple of the Sweet Tooth seedling under the LED. The rest will be of the growbox plants, even tho i didn't take a whole lot of them

I think my temperatures are finally under control.

Growbox temps:
Air = 24.4 C (75.9 F)
water = 19.4 C (67.5 F)
RH = 45 %

That water temperature is WITHOUT a chiller!! Just a 12,600BTU AC in the same room.

Even still.. anyone who says you NEED a water chiller to grow in DWC without root issues is wrong and needs to use more aquashield!!

I grew my plants just fine without a water chiller, just used a healthy dose of Aquashield all the time, and only ran into deficiencies when i forgot to change the water res out after 7 days.

Heres the Pictures i promised:

Thats all for now. I got a feeling that Cannabis 1 and myself will be putting the THC Bomb side by side on the back burner until a future date
 
Man thats huge flood table!!!!! Isn't it missing a few parts?

Like what? plants? haha obviously.

The flood tables come just like this.. you put the holes in them as you please. Its all dependent on what size plumbing you're using right, so thats why they leave them undrilled. You also build the stand it sits on so the height is adjusted to your exact preference.

And yes, 4'x4' is quite a large footprint!!
 
is that a 4x8 there Rado?

I'm going to get some PVC for the stand tomorrow and get my flood table ready for flowering!! Guess that means i will also be getting my tough box totes for the reservoirs and a couple water pumps for irrigation.

That Gen hydro Air pump tho.. damn, i am impressed to no end every time i see it in action!

It is a 4x8 tray. I thought I needed it because I would be dealing with dripping humidity and lots of spilled water :rofl:
for my first grow (in soil) it was not necessary. But it was great for catching runoff during regular watering and flush.

For hydro with circulating water, or for any indoor reservoir grow, I think a big tray is totally worth it.
 
Lucky for me my tent has a flood "thing" its a 6" tall waterproof insert that goes on the floor, and then zip ties in the corners to the tent poles.

"Thing" was the best description i could come up with this quickly after a massive bong rip....

Now that i think about it, its a removable flood floor, looks like the same material as the tent, just waterproof to prevent leaks onto my floors.

This i think is adequate enough to have a large water reservoir with a water pump irrigating my clones in the 4x4 flood tray that will sit about 14 inches off the ground.
