WHITE WIDOW & K2 IN THE SHED

[rottenfork]

Well its been a few months since my last harvest of K2 and they were spot on. i had 2 k2 seeds left and i got 10 White widow seeds from the dam.
I germinated them last week 5 white widow and 1 of the k2 seeds popped i have transferred them to pots and they have broke soil into 6 nice little seedlings.
Ive got a 400w MH system over them soil is peat moss with a mix of perlite an vermaculite ratio 1/4 parts perl +verm to3/4 peat.
ive been using superthrive since germination.
The rest of the seeds havent germinated but im not too bothered im bound to get a few females too clone in a few weeks. the shed is lined one half with mylar the other half is shelving which im going to block off and use for flowering when the time comes.
As far as nutes are concerned im using two only Bio-grow for veg and Bio-bloom for flower ive used them before and always got good results so why start messing around with something that works?
Ill get a few pics up of the set up and seedlings when they grow a bit more and theres something to see C YA LATER:thumbsup:

Think imay have got my seeds mixed up! 2 of them have the same rounder leaves and are growing quicker than the other four whose leaves are pointier and more detailed.So i seem to have 2 K2 plants and 4 white widow. Lets hope theres afew girls in amongst them!!!!

week and a half into veg , i gave 4 of them a 1\4 dose of bio-grow yesterday the look strong enough to handle it. The other two are having trouble getting started they are tiny i hope they pick up ill just keep an eye on them. Ill get some pics up after the weekend and you can tell me what you think!

ok so i took a few pics of the grow space and the plants, the space is narrow but roomy 1m deep x 6m wide 3m high. im on light schedule 18/6 fan is on intermittently throughout day temps are 28 degrees during day and they drop to around 9 at night its winter over here. I might put a heater on timer during the night if it gets colder. 4 of the plants are coming along nicely and have just had there full dose of nutes every 2 waterings , the smaller less developed ones are still on water only but they are starting to liven up......
Well here a few pics hope you like.......?

cheers mate lets hope so!

first alarm today- three of them are looking droopy i havent over watered, every second day so far i think it might be getting too cold temps at 28 when the fan is off but when its on i watched them drop to 20 after around 15 mins. as i said earlier its winter and we are dropping to freezing over night .... So ive put a small heater out there on a timer 1 hour on 1 hour off i gave them a feed aswell. So all i can do now is wait and see..........!!!!

It does sound like it is getting to cold, the best way that I have seen to keep the temp up is to get one of those liquid filled radiator type space heaters and set it to I guess 22C not sure I am not familiar with celcius. These heaters are very efficiant meaning very low wattage and produce a lower heat that won't shock or burn your plants and are alot less of a fire hazard.

Another way is to go to a 24/0 light cycle for your veg that way your light keeps the room warm until you go to flower. ( I use a 24/0 cycle in my grow during veg.)

LOL and looking good so far.
