WW Fluro Grow

[qubed55]

Alright, after my last grow went to shit cause my cat got into it, I decided to start another one. I have a stealth box bout 3ft high by 2ftx2ft wide. It has been painted white and lights are at top. I have my plants within 4 inches of 3 6800k 27w fluros, have some 45w 2700k for flowering. There are currently one bagseed indica trash and one white widow seedlings bout 8-9 days. They have been a little over-watered due to the flush I was forced to do after re-checking the pH of my water(it went from 6.7 to 7.8 in a week of sitting there!), but the bagseed took it way harder than the dub dub, you'll see yellowing and droop. The white widow seems to be hardier, no signs of over-watering except a slight droop. Right now they're in plastic beer cups but I have 2-3 gallon pots to transfer into after 2-3 weeks. I'm using a non-soil mix of mainly peat soil, developed especially for first 3 weeks of a plant's life. After that I'm going to re-pot with organic ferted soil from MG. first two pics are the badseed(i mean bagseed), second are the dub dub. Those little headphones are playing beethoven's hits or something on a loop(heard it was good for growth stim.) Also, you might not be able to see from shitty pic, but my perlite turned a little brown/orange from last flush, does this mean my water has too much iron in it?

I don't think growing MJ is my strong point. I waited a full on week to water again. The bagseed plant looks like shit, almost all yellow and the undersides of first leaves are turning purple/brown. The WW is doing better, but the first leaves are starting to droop/yellow a little. Cotyledons of bagseed are almost all purple/brown, whereas WW are yellowing. I know once the cotyledons fall off you should start fertilizing, could I start the bagseed on 1/4 str nutes or would it make no difference? Also, I seem to have a problem with over-watering. The bagseed plant is a lil bitch. Can't seem to water it without making it worse. I've tested water and did a run-off, everything's fine got some pics. Yellow plant is bagseed, other is WW.

Bump I want to know if it should be nuted this watering.

[qubed55]

Ho Hum. Nobody replied so I nuted at 1/4 str anyways. Got a growth spurt, but yellowing continued so I assumed they were root-bound and transfered both of them. I took a picture of root ball, you be the judge. Soil I put them into is top 3/4 no-nute bottom is 1/2 organic MG 1/2 perlite. They are now in 1 1/2 gallon pots.

Yeah, people on the city sure are quiet for my grow, can only assume that means my grow needs no help whatsoever. New pics! Both plants love the new containers, and I started the bagseed on LST after reading for about, oh, three hours. Still not decided whether I should put the WW on LST too. Anyways, here are the pics:
1. WW side(that little piece of metal's holding it up straight)
2. WW top

I put my WW into LST (some of them) They did pretty well with it and adapted quickly although i started a bit too late. I also topped them and they responded very quickly. I would top fim first then LSt both heads. that will probably produce the best yeild.

It looks like yours is going more down the indica road, although its still pretty early to tell what itll look like when its older

[qubed55]

Thank you Deep green. Does it look like my WW is old enough to be topped? I was trying to do LST according to what the grow guide here on the city says, it only says to top at the end of LST. Another quick question, hopefully someone will answer, the yellowing on the WW's first leaf set hasn't spread, the bagseed's yellowing went away. Should I go ahead and clip those leaves down? Or would it not make a difference. I'm a little intimidated by fimming/topping.

Your plants are looking much better since transplanting them. What kind of nutrients are you using? Also, I'd wait to top, and just do FIM-ing for now. Let them grow out a bit.

[qubed55]

Thank you tn88. Fimming should be ok, I'll read the guide 5 or 6 more times then attempt. If I don't F*** it up I'll post. And I am using Schultz AP 10-15-10 at 1/4 str. right now. I'll use it the whole way through. Oh, and BTW the bagseed stinks like skunk, the WW just pinches your nose a little.

Like deepgreen said, I LST'ed and topped my WW and she's doing fine. Branches growing rapidly over days. Your WW looks hot. Keep us updated.

[qubed55]

Well, I just finished putting the bars around my WW, she(i hope) looks sad tethered to the soil like that, but no matter, it'll be better in the long run. No pics right now because the close-up I took of my fim-job was laughable, took it with a camera phone. A couple hours later the part I fimmed turned a little dark, is this normal? I made sure my scissors were sterilized, I don't think it's that big a deal. The bagseed seems to have adjusted to the LST well. Monk, do you mean my WW is sexy or the lights are burning it? Cause these lights are pretty cool.

my cat likes the taste of leaves for some reason but, ya they will it eat it faster then they see it. Time for lock down cause why waste time and produce nuthin in the end, This is time you look like your doin good.

Hot in sexy

[qubed55]

Hooray it's week three and neither plant has any serious problems. I've started to add CO2 to the plants by placing cap-fulls of seltzer underneath the leaves and leaving the open bottle next to the pots. Since it's week three, I'm considering whether I should start flowering next week or the week after, comments?
