5*White Widow feminized. Coco.

Ok, so here's the deal.

Plants were obviosly dieing. Took two out of the tent as a control group yesterday in the early AMs and they were almost ok today except for the dead "tissue". Greeening up and looking up from the down calwing. I then pulled the other plants out as well since they were actually turning white as a piece of paper at some parts. Now that is some sick shit.
The ones that got better I put back in the tent under close observation and already 6-8 hours later they were dieing again.
Pulled all out, tore the tent down.
Picked up a Secret Jardin Dark Room 100*100*200 (cm) pro tent. Pricey but very pro shit. Mylar coated on all surfaces on the inside and very sturdy frame. On top of that they are very versitile with many different ways to direct the airflow in and out of them.
Picture below is taken 1-2h after the tent was up and running with the plants in them.
*** LOOK AT BACK RIGHT AND FRONT RIGHT PLANT***
Rear one was one of the plants out of the tent for a 20 hours or so it looked like the front right almost before that. The front right was going white as a fresh piece of printer paper. Same with some of the others.

Since then they have taken close to an Inch jump in half a day and are starting to look up again. Bare in mind that all the way through they have been fed the same nutes from my reservoir of mixed nutes I did a week back (40 litres reservoir).
I have made no changes. Temp, humidity is the same and everything. Fuck that tent!
Anyway I have faith in my plants again and we'll see what the coming days have to offer.

That's all for now.

Hey glad to hear your plants are getting better, thats some strange shit with the hydro hut. I've got a secret jardin too, only the cheap street version but it does the job.

Good luck getting back on track and growing them little uns into monsters! :D

Thanks.
Seems like they are trying to make up for lost time right now. DAMN! Almost an inch in a day, leave popping out all over the place and humidity up 10%. They are drinking mad for being so small but ye until this afternoon they barely drank at all.
I am sure all is fine now. :D

Things are still well now. Plant bounced back beautifully and I just seem to have lost about a week and a few leaves in the end. Than god for these communities that made me aware of possible tent poisoning and fuck companies that don't test their products.

Well, my plants are developing their 3rd and 4th set of real leaves now and I am starting to look to the future again. I will not scrog these. And actually I dont think I will even snip tops on them as I need clones (this is my first grow) I don't want to interrupt them any more than needed.
What do you think about just letting them grow as they please?
5 WW on 1 square meter.
Good things with this and bad?

I will post more pictures soon and an updated grow diary as well. Anyone had a look at the diaries yet?
Do you think I should alter it in any way or is the information enough for me to use in future grows and for you to follow what I am doing?

Cheers

Ok time for an update again.

Since the tent tried to Zyklon B my plants things have turned around as you might have read.
Growth can be followed hour by hour now, actually can. :D

I went up to 50% nutestrength and then after talking to an experienced coco grower I went to 100% of recommendation as well. No bad reactions from the plants to the contrary, they are thriving.

Posting some pictures and in the end an updated diary from the grow, with detailed information from this project day by day.

First pic(repost) is from 1-2 hours after plants were pulled out of the poison hut:

This one is from 2 days after that, plants are noticing that they just might make it :)

4 days after growing mad:

6 days after :D :D :D

All plants are on same location all the way through this but have been turned on quarter on the last pic.

I very visably have seen a difference in one of them now from the others. One have much thinner and stretchier leaves than the others and also is more lime in color. Guess that means that plant might end up stretching a bit more in bloom as it seems to be a bit more sativa dominant. Correct observation you think?

I have no worries anymore now. Not at the moment at least. My grow is 100% where I want it at the moment and that feels really nice after what I went through before.
Got some Hindu Kush and Jack Herer seeds today as well so its time to build a vegg/clone chamber soon. These are not feminised so I will need to start them, make them show sex, get clones etc etc before I can dream of getting a harvest worth the name out of these but that is gonna be a nice project and it adds 2 more very nice strains to my grow as well.
Anyway, here is the updated grow diary (excel):

I FIMed the Sativa dominant #5 plant. It is the first grow after all and even though I had basically decided to let them grow as they wanted I came to the conclusion that it is better for future references to try some stuff out at least and since I have one that is more stretchy than the others it got the snip. :P

Now, in retrospect it seems I might have topped it instead of FIMed it though. Close call but never mind, it is a learning process and I will just have to see how many stems that will eventually grow from the cut.

Incredible change in the plants since you got rid of the tent of terror. ;)

I've never got the hang of fimming, tried a couple of times but never quite worked how i would of liked.

Keep it up :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hudson: Ye I cut a bit too low and I am quite sure it became a topping instead but never mind. If so I know for next time, hehe.

I prepared my vegg/clone area today. It's got room for 9 7 litre pots (aprox 2 gallons US) or a lot of smaller ones natrually. I will enclose the area a bit better when its time to start to use it but basically it will be like on this picture I think.
Need a small fan in there as well to swirl the air around and make those stems a bit stronger. :D

Pretty good use of a cramped area, right?

Sweet ;)

I've got a drobe next to my flower tent, but i use an old diy tent for my vegging. That may change when i've a bit of time, it'll save me some space :)

Funny how i didn't think of that before, thanks for prompting me :D

Puffz, I'm glad to hear you figured out the issue with your tent. I hate to hear you had problems with it in the first place, but thanks to you I know you have kept many others on this forum from winding up in the same place! I have been looking at tents for awhile, and you just kept me from going down a dark alley in a bad part of town, bro! I can't wait to see your WWs completely triched out! Keep up the outstanding detailed work too! I know your results will be amazing, my friend!
