Growing the Widow

[Cyclonite]

Thought id share this log...This is still early done with aeroponics they are looking good so far, first time for me PH at 5.5 and ppm of 495. 100 watt MV lamp for now 400W HPS later and seedlings under some floros.

How old are they in the photos? Do they seem to be smaller and grow slower than some other strains? I'm growing a few seedlings and some of them might be WW, but I'm not entirely sure because I didn't keep track of my seeds. The seeds were also small and green, unlike some seeds that are more brown or tan, and I think that WW seeds are the small green ones.

First one, I can't compare. They seem good though I have some that were planeted at the same time that just popped up. I think they are about 3 weeks old in the bigger picture and the seeds were large and light brownish

Hmm oh well guess I'll find out when they flower, or never.

Excuse me for not seeing if it's obvious, but how does that aeroponic setup work? Looks like flood-n-drain to me.

From the top it looks the same from the bottom the roots are suspended above the nute mix which is sprayed in a fine mist onto the roots every 5 minutes.

[Cyclonite]

Oh....if you were referring to the first picture at that point in time I was just giving them 20-30% nute mix (hand watered) and the roots weren't out of the pot yet.

[stinkyattic]

Ahhh! Yeah, I was referring to the first pic.

[Cyclonite]

Ok from the first pic here are the 3 bigger ones that I put under the MV lamp...do they look good? Any advice? Oh and I took close up of a suspect leaf...not sure what the marks are. They are getting 50% nutes...Should I increase?

[stinkyattic]

They look big enough to go up on nutes.
The marks on the leaves are maybe just physical damage from a scrape or something. They don't look like insect munchings.
