Hello all,
First time grower here - I posted in the "welcome" section and was encouraged to start a grow journal. So, here I am! Any and all feedback, comments, suggestions, and/or knowledge-drops are welcomed and highly encouraged. I want to learn!
Strain: White Widow
Grown from: Seed (feminized)
Medium: Soil (Manna Organic Coco)
Container: 5 Gallon Cloth
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients (Micro, Grow, Bloom, Big Bud)
Other: SuperThrive, Molasses, Up/Down Water PH (PH'd to 5.8)
Lighting: 300 Watt Mars Hydro 2
Environment: 40"x40"x80" Matrix grow tent
Ventilation: 6" ducting fan (INLET), Charcoal Filter (OUTLET), circulation fan
Temperature: Module activates inlet (cooling) and mini heater (heating) to maintain 74F (+/- 2F).
Humidity: I simply increase OUTLET (Charcoal filter) to decrease humidity (RH @ ~55% currently)
Other Monitoring: Remote Temp/RH monitor, WIFI Camera - 950nm IR ("invisible" to the plant?) for night vision.
Methods (1): I have been pulling dead-end water leafs that are in crowded areas and/or not receiving much light (probably shooting myself in the foot on this one).
Methods (2): I have been "training" the non-water-leaf branched away from the main stem, theoretically to separate them out into new secondary main stems.
Methods (3): In a way, I have tried to lollipop the plant durring vegetative growth with the plucking of specific water leafs and training the branches.
---------------------
I am learning as I go and I have hit two notable setbacks along the way. First, she got a very slow start due to me figuring out the type of lighting - she didn't have proper lighting for the first couple weeks. Second, she had some pretty bad transplant shock - Ive never seen a plant so wilty in my life (she recovered in about 1 week or so). I am now approximately 9 weeks along (since planting my germinated seed) and started flowering recently, on 01/06/16. I am now using "Micro," "Bloom," and 1 TBS Molasses per gallon - water PH'd to 5.8.
Estimated timeline:
Week of November 7: Germination
Week of November 9: Planted Seed in soil (18/6)
Week of December 14: Transplant shock
Week of January 4: Begin Flowering (12/12)
Chronological Photos: (skip to the bottom for current-state)
