The ladies look great. The juniors look like they are getting a little stretched, but good. I would say you need to either lower the light in your clone "box" or just add a few lights...

Depending on how your grow goes I am thinking of buying some white widow seeds.
The girlfrield and I got anxious tonight, so we ate a pepper. It's a cayenne pepper plant that my girlfriend named Shyanne. :icon220: That lil f*er had some kick and it was still all green. Pretty good flavor too, but a bit soft. I suppose it needs more growing time.

The clones are definitely stretching. That 8w light isn't enough for em, but I'll just keep topping them if I have to. They've got at least 2 months in that little chamber until it's time for transplant into the big room.

The WW so far has been pretty easy to grow. The main things I've learned are look for droopy leaves when they want water, and make sure to go light on the nutes. They seem happy in the FFOF soil, and can take water that isn't pHed properly just fine. Also, the temps have been in the mid 60's to mid 90's and I haven't noticed any ill effects due to temp. Also, watch for a growth spurt right after transplant.

So, something crappy happened today. The duct tape holding the 8W light above the clones gave out, and the light fell down. Of course, it landed right on top of Scarlet, my favorite. When I found her tonight, the light was still on top of her and she was laying completely on her side in the dirt. I took the light off, and she jumped halfways back up, so hopefully she'll be fine, but only time will tell the effect of the damage.


I also added a computer fan to the room to get some ventilation going. Every time I would lift up the flap, it would smell like stale air in there, and the soil is staying wet too long. Hopefully the fan helps.


I watered the main plants today, and gave them ~1/2 strength nutrients. This is the first time I'm using the flowering nutrient "Tiger Bloom." So they got 1 tsp Tiger Bloom/gal, and 1 tsp of Big Bloom/gal.


The leaves were a bit droopy today, so I should have watered yesterday. It was 6 days between watering. This week I'll make it 5.
