First Grow. Feminized White Widow and Madness Pyramid Seeds from Attitude Seedbank.

[zigX]

I decided to move my Journal from the Indoor growing thread to the Grow Journal forum since this is what I intended from the beginning but somehow I must have missed it. Anyway, I have provided the link for you guys if you are interested in checking it out.

I finally received the new light system. I decided to go with HTG Supply's T5, 30, 000 lumens with mixed light. 3 grow and 3 bloom.

6 lamp 4' T5 GROW LIGHT w VEG & BLOOM BULBS 48" tube 54w 6500K 3000K fluorescent

The reason why I choose it was mainly the price since they offered free shipping. All in all, I like it except for
the ballast in the middle, which takes unnecessary space.

The plants are doing well. I have noticed a lot of secondary growth! The girls are going to be tight and bushy, which is what I'm going for due to the lack of space I have.

The heat in the grow room has also increased tremendously, up to 88 F. I bought a 6 inch fan but it doesn't seem to be enough. Right now the temps are around 79-84 F with the mylar door slightly open, which is fine for now. I'm going to buy another fan, probably a an osculating one.

Since I installed the new light system, I've been on a steady temp of 82F. I have two fans in there and it doesn't get any colder unless I open the mylar door. The humidity is low too, and rages from 16-20 %. I put a 10 X 10 inch container with a wet towel, I hope it will help increase the humidity.

Thank you! I can't wait either. I'm going to start the flowering process as soon I get my cloning materials. And I need to re-pot as well.

The girls are doing really well, the temperature in the grow room is in the 70's and the humidity is over the mid 20's. I bought new pots. I decided to go with 1.5 gallon instead of a 3 gallon pots because I think the plants would vertically grow too big for my grow room.

They've become even more beautiful!

I received all my tools necessary to clone my plants and I finished the setup today. Its OK for now. I ran out of mylar and need to buy some more eventually.

I used Clonex gel and placed them in FFOF soil. I hope it will work!

I also noticed that Madness has shown its female pre-flowers:

Here's an update on the girls. I decided to have the lights off for 36 hours to help induce the flowering process. They grew in the darkness and the new shoots are bright green, very beautiful. I also re-potted the plants into 1.5 gallon pots, it was very easy. The plants had become root bound, which made the re-potting much easier.

The climate has been unusually hot for the season and it has definitely had an affect on the temps in the grow room. I have the lights off during the day to counter balance off the heat.

I took these pictures yesterday but I was too tired to post them.

The plants is in their first week of flowering and you can now see the calyxes develop. This is where all the hard work is going to pay off!

I watered the plants with full nutrients according to the Fox Farm Schedule. I noticed that some of the fan leaves stared to yellow, starting from the tip as well as developing a red color on the fan leaves stems, which according to several grow guides is a nitrogen or phosphorus deficiency. I'm not entirely convinced because it could simply be the flowering process but I hope the nutes I fed them with will help. Although, I'm a little worried that they might get some nute burns but I tried to gradually feed them into the full amount, which is why they might have a deficiency in the first place.

I noticed that my last two updates are not uploading correctly when I/others try to review them. I don't know if it is the sites servers or something that hasn't been done correctly while I uploaded them, even though I have done the same process on the previous updates.

Does any of you guys know how to contact the moderator of this site?

Thanks,

Zig.

I decided to upload my pics at imageshack since I've been having issues uploading the pics correctly on this server.

The trichomes are growing more and more. Madness is going to produce the bigger buds as of now but you never now, they say that WW take longer to bloom, up to 10 weeks. When I was reading about the Pyramid Seeds' WW, it said that the buds would be generally smaller but much more potent.

I think I'm going to post once a week from now on, unless I see a significant growth that would motivate me to want to post sooner.

White Widow:
The WW has not grown as big as the Madness and as you can see, the bud formation seem to be a couple of weeks behind the Madness. I really hope WW will kick off its Trichome production... Only time will tell!!!

I can't believe it's been 69 days since I started the seeds, time has really flown!

Today, the girls have started their fifth week. Madness is definitely going to finish first and I'm excited about that. It actually gives me less work to deal with when I have to harvest.

A couple of days ago I think the girls experienced some minor heat stress, due to the fact that the some of the pistils are browning, and its not that kind of browning that happens when they mature. But what do I know, it could be the natural progression as well.

I also noticed a lot of yellowing leaves, especially the Madness plant. I did some research and I came to the conclusion that it's a combination of the natural progression of the flowering process and a Magnesium deficiency that is very common during middle of the flowering cycle. I bought some Epsom salt and fed the plants today actually, a full dose of nutrients and a teaspoon of Epsom salt/gallon

A couple of weeks ago, I watered the plants with 1 table spoon of Grandmas Unsulphered Blackstrap Molasses, which contains Iron, Calcium and Magnesium but I don't think it was enough for the plants so I really hope the Epsom salt helps. I should add that most the yellowing leaves occurred on the lower part of the plants and that the top leaves are very healthy as you can probably see.

I also want to add another observation; most of the stems on the Madness plant has turned into a purple/red color, which I hope/assume is common. The White Widow plant is slowly developing into the same pattern.

OK, enough of my thought. Here are the girls:

I'm think I'm going to harvest this weekend. I flushed 2 weeks ago and I have only used water to feed the plants. The trichomes are all cloudy, with some sporadic amber.


Here are the girls:

Great Job! They look frosty, also looks like the WW caught up to Madness with trichs.

PLEASE do continue the log until after harvest and give us a final weight =). Your log has been really good and consistent so far, there are just soooooooo many logs on this website that end before harvest. Not being able to see the beautiful buds at the end, is like a massage with no happy ending lol.

[zigX]

Madness has been harvested!:smokin:

The total weight was 6.5 oz.

Here are the pictures:

Thats sick! so is that 6.5 the dry weight?! Are you waiting to harvest the WW?

Love the buddha pic!

[Skihigh]

Absolutely beautiful.
You can damn sure be proud of that harvest.
Good job Amigo!!!
