Hey guys. I figured I'd start this in a seperate journal as this is my first ever attempt at an auto grow. Gear: --2x3 Growneer tent. (Can be downsized, cloning shelf etc but using all of it here) --1 HLG100 --2 HiGrow UFO blurps (50Wx2) --1 budget 6" exhaust fan (Amazon) --Bionare oscillating fan, and clip-on --7 gallon Growneer non-woven bags --Seedsman auto White Widows --TPLink smart plug controlling exhaust My second White Widow just popped it's tongue this morning and was just planted. First was planted last night. Will update as things progress. Hope you follow along.
Thanks for joining in! These are regular auto seeds, they were freebies, so I guess I'll just cull any male and replant or maybe just let a single one run. I may end up having a sausage party going on. So there may be some disappointment, there may be some tears haha!!
So the second one never popped up..... But the first one is doing alright. A little small but that seems to be a trend with White Widow for me, regardless the source. I find White Widow to be a bit of a slow starter if you go by height but it tends to be very compact with tight noding and tends to really stack well once triggered with fat nugs. Some Strong Stuff and White Widow cuts sub-letting in the tent for now. They had a rough rooting being so busy with work, and the soil I mixed for those beer cups seems a little 'hot', but they will pull thru after they get more roots going on. It gets real hot in there (32°C) if I run all 3 lights, so I am working on a solution right now, but the HLG100 is really more light than the little bugger needs so I'll just run it for now, up high, and skip on the blurples until it's better established.
Was a little slow rooting into this 7 gallon but now it's taking off, and just like every White Widow I've ever grown, very bushy. A little LST in a few days, and she'll be low and fat with hopefully 10-12 shoots or so. 6 nodes packed into that little bugger already. I've managed to sort the heat issue out for the most part. Staying around 24-26°C and about 45-60% ranges, even with all the lights going.
They're doing their part I suppose. Awful warm for the light they put out though compared to the HLG100
I asked because my buddy just gave me 6 brand new in the box Bestva 1000s. I’ve read mixed reviews on them. Never used led lighting. But I seen you were so wanted a little info before I sell them, or use them if they’re worth it.
I have vegged under them and they do alright, but I have never tried flowering under just them without other light in the room. When comparing purely qb or purely blurple veg, my qb vegged plants always seem bushier. I'd probably sell them, if it wasn't a slap in the face to my friend. Nice gift though haha! Damn
They’re around. Just far and few in between. Friendship isn’t what it use to be or should be in this day and age. Sadly.
Maybe I’ll run em in the 8x8 as an experiment and see what comes from it. If they’re not up to par I’ll give em back lol.
