So I'm starting this grow journal a little late but I figured I'd do it anyway. Just a little background information. I bought a sour d clone from a local dispensary about 3 weeks ago. I had been planning on growing and had actually ordered some white widow seeds 2 weeks prior. When I bought the sour d I was not prepared in the least. I got home after buying it and put it under my lamp I used for reading. A couple days later I went to home depot and tried getting everything I need but due to lack of materials available I only got a new pot and soil. I went home and transplanted the plant into the new pot and watered it for the first time (she had been in rockwool up to this point). I still was without good lighting so I kept it under my lamp for a few more days. That's when I discovered my local grow shop and stocked up. I bought a tent, 150w hps light and ballast, some roots organic Buddha grow, and two small fans. I set up the tent and got her under the hps. This is roughly a week after getting her. At first I had the light about 4' above but saw she wasn't stretching very well or just growing in general so I lowered it to about 2'. At this point I had over fertilized her and with the shock of the transplant and lack of light before she wasn't looking too good. I posted on here and everybody pretty much reaffirmed my thoughts that with time she would perk up again. It's been two weeks since then and I recently bought a new 4 bulb 24w each cfl which I switched over the plant entirely. Taking the hps out of the picture for now. She's about tripled in size from week 1 and looking much more healthy. Her roots are starting to poke out of the bottom hole of her pot so I'm thinking I should transplant to her final pot. During this whole process my white widow seeds had arrived and I germinated two and planted them in solo cups with super soil. One sprouted early and in my excitement I saw the soil looked dry and I didn't have a spray bottle so I poured some water in the cup snapping the seedling. After a little inspection on the other cup I saw it was moving along also. A couple days later it sprouted. It's been about 2 weeks since then and she's coming along very nice. She just shed her shell yesterday and the first leaves are coming in.
A few updated pics. I'm noticing some of the top leaves are curling left or right. I think it may be my light placement.
Here's a few updated pics. I moved the sour diesel into 12/12 and kept her in my tent while the vegging plants I moved to my closet. Found a blue dream bagseed about a week ago and it's starting to sprout. It's in the round pot. I also decided to plant 8 more white widow seeds and two of them are sprouting right now. The last one is an accidental clone I took when I was checking out the root structure of the sour d.
So it's been almost three weeks in 12/12 for the sour diesel and it's looking great in my opinion. I left for a couple weeks and had a friend watch the plants for me. The white widow sexes and turns out it's a male so I'm gonna gather some pollen at some point and trash it probably.
How long are you going to let it 12/12 for? i have been flowering my SD for around 3 weeks and it looks very similar to yours at 3 weeks...i see youre at 6 weeks now, how much longer you gonna keep it at 12/12? BTW its looking great! im sure you cant wait to smoker her because i cant wait to smoke mine =P
I'm on a time limit since I'm moving out of my place soon. So I'll harvest it in another couple weeks.
