5*White Widow feminized. Coco.

Haha, don't worry about writing too much, i do the same at times, especially when i've been smoking :)

Yeah the data you're gonna be collecting will be invaluable i'm sure, especially in the learning process, it seems a lot of the more experienced growers do it with feel that they've developed over years and for some of us noobs it's kinda hard to get into at first and while there'll be a lot of variables, strain, temps etc it should provide a good guidline for others and give you a quick and easy reference as to what works and what doesn't, i reckon your stats are gonna help a lot of people :thumbsup:

Now i just need to find my excel cd so i can install it and have a look at your spreadsheet :stoned:

Yeah that "feel" I wanna develop as well. Still would continiue to collect hard data though.

I lost a link by the way. Its from that experiment that dude made aboyt different photo periods during vegetative growth.
He tried all from 16/8 to 24/0 and had reports on what the plants yielded in the end.
Anyone seen it and know where I can find it again? I will go 24/0 no matter what but I have a few friends I promised to show it and I totally lost it and forgot where I found it to begin with. Read so much the last month, lol

As soon as I read about your spreadsheet I thought (I wonder if that will be available as a template?)the sooner the better I say. Thank you for all the research you have put into it.
Good luck

It is a crude sheet man.
Just erase my data and put in your own. Make it better or do with it as you please.
I made it for my own use but thought that while I was making a grow diary it would be an easy way for me to help present my project in an easy to follow and instructive way.

Once my grow is in it's late stages I do hope I have it customized for my future needs so I have a template to use over and over.
From then on I am planning to compress and upload complete folders after every grow with spread sheet and pictures for anyone to download.
However be aware to take my data as a guideline on how to grow, I am a beginner you know. ;)

Plant 1, 3 and 5 showed early stages of nute burn tonight so all five got a good flush and I will redo my feeding watering schedule a bit for a while as a result of this.

Tip of 1 leave on one plant and two leave on 2 plants showed this sign.

I will change to feeding every other time to 15% runoff and every other time with pure water with little or none runoff.
This will according to my plan slowly build up nute levels in the coco again until I see the plants are fine and can go up to 2 times feed and 1 time water on their way to a full fed schedule again.
I will keep nutes on 40% of recommendations though.
Coco contains no nutrients in itself so it is a fast medium to correct mistaces in and I am not at all worried, just a hazzle to have to flush.

Anyway, info is recorded and next time I will have a better understanding on how to start nute build up in the early stages of the grow.

So it was a hectic day with a lot of time and work spent on my grow.

After the flush last night I have slowly built up nute levels in the coco again.
I also changed from 125W LE to a 600W HPS and by god the sun is shining in my tent now. The problem is that I had to put on the active ventillation to keep temperatures on a decent level now and since the plants are so small they don't give off enough moisture to the air yet to uphold the climate. Humidity went down as a stone and I constantly need to add more by dusting the air.
Gonna pick up a humidifier in a couple of days I think.
For the rest I hope all is under control now but until I know for sure all is fine I keep an hour by hour watch on them.

Peace out.

stumbled in here from your post on my log...

lovin the setup man, nice choice on the tent ;) here's hoping your girls grow to be nice and tall :bonghit:

Puff: This is why i assume alot of people say grow with soil and learn, soil react a bit slower then other mediums therefor having a good soilmix will make it easier till you learn.

It sounds like you have a realy good thing going on though so GL and im hoping the best for your grow.

sidenote: jevla hinsidas, i danmark e ström sååå kostigt...

Anyways just look at the plants feel the plants and their sorta telling what they need ( i learned from outside pot grows and inside/outside regular plant grows and then i research/ask questions in here and other forums.

Where did you get the tent cause i just have a room for it but that tent looks SWEET! keep it up

DrSpoof: Thanks for coming by and for wishing me good luck <3

Well Danish I am at home around the clock almost always so fast reaction is no problem in itself for me.
Soil does have a buffert effect and do react slower but that also goes the other way around. Once you have gone so far as to see you mistace it takes some time to reverse it and get balance back.
I don't know whats correct. On the Swedish grow forums I'd say probably about 50% or more start with handwatered coco these days because of the relative simplicity and the good prospect of big yield.
Soil is some dirty, heavy shit as well to have indoors and since I am in wheelchair since a few years I don't want a lot of heavy stuff to drag in here. I alone know about my grow.
I can stand up if I hold on or lean against something so Imagine the exhaustion and difficulty in setting up the tent and ventilation in there. lol lol
It took me 2-3 hours to get just the tent up.
The ventillation was a bit easier. Vent house is hanging with wooden stick in a very secure way. All I needed to do once I came up with the idea was to lift the house up, put in the stick and let go. Biggest problem was the charcoal filtre that is quite heavy and has to be put in place by lifting it, holding it still and strapping it in place.
Some rewarding but hard work for me indeed. :D

I went over to 20/4 last night after all. My plants looks exhausted from the last days of problems and I can't say exactly why, I just feel that they want a few hours a day without the pressure to perform in the light. They did indeed look better after 4 hours of dark so this will be their light/dark cycle from now on. I understand that there are risks involved with changing daylight cycle for a plant like this but this early in their lives they will adapt I am sure. Not like I'm gonna make a hermie out of a seedling. hehe

Damn damn damn damn.

My problems are because of the grow tent. Hydro Hut.
There is an issue with poison being emitted by the canvas o_O
Plant show signs of bot nitricient deficiancy and over nuting at the same time. Burned tips, and yellowing leaves to the virge of becoming white, slowed or stoped growth as well. Moved out they recover fast if not pushed to far in the tent.
Hydro Huts manufacturer in China used some chemical that emitt some gas when under strong light and/or heat, that's why they are looking better after darkperiod every morning and then deterioate even further the next day.
Good game. I will try to sort this shit fast as hell because I need a tent where I am living to be able to grow. It has to be sorted fast as well since I dont wanna start over by buying new seeds and start from scratch again. Shit shit shit shit!!!!!!!

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Hydrohuts killing plants... it's finally over

Problem is I am not in the states but in EU and here I am at the whim of my growshop. I really hope this guy will fix it without problems and delays.

I'll be back with more information asap.
