A very classy grow! Auto-flowering White Dwarf, bagseed, CFL, LST

A-hoy hoy! Welcome to the second edition to my grow - or you can call it my continued/second grow!

The line up includes:

1 feminized auto-flowering White Dwarf from Buddha Seeds
1 Bagseed from some fire (indica dominant strain)

i have 5 G-13 Power Skunk seeds and one feminized The Church, but i'm waitin to start those


Now for the specs!

Medium - Fox Farm Ocean Forest - no added perlite or anything.

Lighting - CFL's baby! one 60w, two 42w. All soft white spectrum. Total of 144w, and approx. 9,000 lumens
---NOTE: I have two 27w daylights and another 42w soft white, but i'm waiting to add those in

Temp - fluxuates between 75º and 84º (working on fxing this)

Humidity - stays around 37-40%

Nutes - Earth Juice Grow for vegging, Fox Farm Grow Big for flowering. Looking into molasses for flowering too.

Background: In the beginning, i started 4 plants. One in which i gave to a friend to grow (its flowering atm), the second died early on from being in the MG soil & never recovering. The third i kept to grow, and failed the first week into flowering The FOURTH is the one i got going right now This bagseed plant i started back on November 16-ish. It stayed in a dixie cup up until almost 3 weeks ago because i was too focused on my main plant to do anything with the other one. As a result, it stayed very small & weak but still thrived. Once my previous plant died (see first grow) i decided to re-pot this one and grow it out. Ever since, its been growin rapidly, gaining strength and lookin beautiful!

what else, what else....

I am using LST on the bagseed - i am not using this on the WD. I'm putting the WD on an 20/4 light schedule from sprout.

I think that about covers it! Any questions, feel free to throw em my way. Other than that, enjoy the grow - i know i will

1st pic - White Dwarf waiting to sprout
2nd pic & on - bagseed as of 1/22

 

bump before i'm gone & without the internet for the weekend

 

indeed they are! I can't wait to watch my own finally grow


SOOOOOOOOOO i was just on the phone with my girl, and the WD has sprouted!! Thank Jeebus, i was afraid that me not germinating it first would backfire on me lol.

My other baby is lookin bushy green & healthy! Just a mess of leaves & nodes! Crazy shit lol. I'm definately pleased with my LST this time around


i'll have pics up tomorrow morning

 

UPATE UPDATE UPDATE


Happy humpday everyone....i never understood why its "hump" day. Yeah its the middle of the week, and in a metaphorical sense its the hump in the middle of the week you gotta get over before reaching the end of the week....but still. I can't think of anything better, so fuck it


Anyways, i don't know WHAT day to consider my big girl at seeing as how she technically started really growing about a month ago. Either way, i'm thinkin about puttin her in 12/12 pretty soon here. Check out the pics & tell me what you guys think. She's lookin real good - so many damn leaves and stems and nodes and whatnot. I gotta make sure shit doesn't get all tangled up n shit! Gotta look pretty. A couple leaves are having some discoloration at the tips. I don't think its nute burn, but i'm not an expert lol

The White Dwarf is growin pretty fast. On day 3. I need to put my other light on it. Gonna do that today. I'm thinkin about puttin it on 18/6, but should i wait till its a little bigger? No nutes yet obviously. Watered the soil before planting and watered again yesterday.
I wanted to think of a name for this bad boy....or girl, actually lol. My girl wants to name it "topanga". I hate that name! She actually wanted our daughter to be named that. But its only a plant, so i GUESS i'll name it Topanga lol.

Anything else i left out, let me know & i'll answer it

On to the pics!


SOOOO the first one of the attached pics is of the WD as of about 5 pm on Monday. Second is the WD 5 hours later, third is 8 hours after that.
The second to last attached picture is of the leaves i was talkin about. What does it look like?
And the last picture is our "bud" pizza. Lol. Just for shits n giggles

 

bump for the afternoon folk

 

im posting this in here in hopes that someone will answer. no one's replied in the General Indoor Growing section


Whats the best lighting schedule fo Autoflowres? I was thinkin of doin 18/6, but someone said 20/4 is really good for em too.

any suggestions? And should i start that timing once its transplanted and its alternating nodes 3 or 4 times?

 

UPDIZZLE

its been a couple days. Not too much has changed since then. My bushel is getting bigger & more beautiful every day! The WD is growin slowly but surely lol. Gonna repot it this weekend, then hopefully it will EXPLODE into growth!

Day ? on the bush

Day 7 on the WD

my bush got a slight nute burn, but its very minor and only on a couple leaves that i saw. Nothing serious at all. I also pulled back a few branches on it to let in more light to the center, which seems to be helping.

blah, blah blah, nothing exciting lol.

I think i'm gonna put the bush into flowering this weekend. I'm gonna watch it for the next few days. I haven't checked for preflowers in a week or so, so it could be time!

piktchurz!

1st - from above w/ flash
2nd - from above w/ no flash

have a good one everybody! Smoke one!

 

no love?

 

thanks freedom i love how big and green she is lol. pretty good for never testing the pH I'm thinkin i should definately buy a pH meter soon just to be safe from now on though. Once i get my tax return check i'm gettin one!

yeah man i can't believe how quickly it grew once i repotted it! Makes me wonder how big it would be if i repotted it from the beginning

lol can't say i've ever said that to a female before! Prayin no balls, man! I got 2 women in my place so maybe their female hormones will pollute the air my plant breahtes lol

thanks bro! I'm lovin her color

thanks man, cheapest set up ever, but it works like a charm

I'm not sure how easy it is so far, but from what i read it seems like a good beginning grow. As long as you watch it, it should be fairly simple to grow If you wanna just use one bulb, you can get one of those large watt cfl's. You can find em online on hydroponic websites n shit. They're usually 100w and above, kinda pricey, but it would be worth it. OR you could just get a 400w hps bulb & ballast. Thats close to 100 bucks for both, depending on where you go. I know at Home Depot the bulb is like 25 bucks or so and the ballast is 60 i think.
as long as you have at least 100w or 2000 lumens on a single plant, it should be good as for germinating, i used to have the seeds germinate in a paper towel, but a lot of people on here (mainly cantharis) is highly against germming because it can damage the taproot when pulling it off the paper towel. So i simply dropped the seed in the soil, and it grew

 

So i noticed yesterday that some of my nodes/upper growth is more of a faded green/yellowish color. Not terribly yellow, but enough for me to notice a difference in color. I have pictures taken, but i forgot to bring my camera today, so i'll have em up tomorrow. Possible Nitrogen deficiency? Idk lol. Also a slight sign of nute burn on some leaves, but it really isn't that bad at all. Watered the bush last night w/ water only no nutes, so hopefully that will help flush out some of the excess nutes. Sucks cuz i don't have a pH tester. Once i get my check in the mail i'll buy one. For now i guess i'll continue to play the guessing game lol. It seems fine to me though still healthy as can be!

Repotted the White Dwarf last night & put it in its new area. Also bought a 100w 6500k CFL last night @ Home Depot....only to find out it needs a specific fixture!! gotta go back today & get the right one lol.


i'll have pics up of it tomorrow

 

Here's the pictures. max of 10 uploads so i put the last picture i was gonna attach as the first big one lol

First picture is (the big one) is 2 bud sites that seem to be battling for that spot! Lol
2nd picture is the WD after being repotted. Day 11
3rd through 6th pictures are a few shots of the bush
7th through 11th are where you can kind of see the lighter color to the nodes & leaves.

The color of those nodes & leaves doesn't look real bad, but i wanted to make sure it was alright. I'm sure the only real way to tell is if i had a pH tester i really need one of those lol.

My bush has preflowers, so i'm thinkin about flowering her tonight i heard that plants CAN show sex before going into 12/12, is this really true? My plants gettin pretty big so i'm gonna start it this weekend regardless lol

have a good friday everyone!
