My 1st "Paradise Seeds" Wappa Grow!

[Paparazzi]

Ok last November I got this seed called Wappa from a friend... He said he had got it for free while ordering from Attitude. At the time it was my 2nd grow so I decided to throw it in the batch to see. I was, and still am, new to growing but she grew to be a beauty in my little cubby and kinda out shined the other. I WAS IMPRESSED! So I decided to go pick up a few from "Paradise Seeds" myself... and I guess here we go... ALL INPUT IS WELCOME... On "ANYTHING" I am doing. Please feel free to give me tips and pointers! *The Pic Below Is Of The 1st Wappa I Grew* (I am hoping the new ones turn out like her!)

So 2 Weeks ago I decided to plant 3 of the 5 Wappa seeds I received from Paradise Seeds...

At this point I mixed 1 Tablespoon of Big Bloom into a Gallon of water and placed the seeds in 5in. pots. I covered them with plastic wrap and placed them in the back of my closet. It took less than 48 hours for them to germ. Day 2 after planting them I went to check on them and they were popped with the leaves yellow and showing... So I would say roughly 40 hours when I noticed them.

Once I saw the germination I put them under the 96W T5's and watch them go to work! Sorry I dont have pic of the EXACT germination but here are some pics of them exactly 7 days after germ!

#1 Cleopatra (Nice Names Huh LOL) -- 1 Week Old


#2 Uma -- 1 Week Old


#3 Nefertiti -- 1 Week Old

I would start a journal or you can just rock this but I am sub'd either way! Wappa is solid!

 

[cacamal]

So @ the 14 day I decided to go with the following nutrient mixture for my growing babies...

I mixed the following to a gallon (about half the normal dosage)...
1Tblspoon Big Bloom
1 Teaspoon Grow Big
1 Teaspoon Sweet
1/4 Teaspoon Microbe Brew

Still Under the 96W T5's and seem to be loving it... Any Suggestions?

#2 Uma (Leaves looking kinda crinkled but we will see how she goes!) -- Week 2


#3 Nefertiti (She is BEAUTIFUL already!) -- Week 2

Soil: FoxFarm Ocean Forest (50%) Light Warrior (40%) Perlite (10%)

So ya think I should cut back a bit on the Nutrients?
If so I sure won't be adding anymore... I am trying not to Fudge things up here!

Here's a picture of the skinnier plant I call Uma. She is looking good and coming along very well like the others. What's your opinion guys and gals?

Top View Of Uma!


The look from the side of Uma... She has nice growth already!

Here's a picture of the medium plant I call Nefertiti. She is looking good and coming along very well like the others. Again what's your opinion guys and gals?

Here's a picture of the bigger of all my plants, I call her Queen Cleopatra. She is looking good and coming along very well like the others. Again what's your opinion guys and gals?

Yesterdays pictures were looking really good. I noticed that all of them have 4 nodes and working on the 5th. I decided I would just go ahead and try to top 1 then I decided to top 2.... Cleopatra and Nefertiti went under the knife today. I tried to find the perfect spot to FIM them so hopefully it works. I was thinking if it didn't I still should get some nice tops anyways. I guess we will see. If anything sparks up I will post more pics... If not see you on Friday (which was my original date to top)!

*Crosses Fingers Hopes All Goes Well*

Sorry guys got caught up with work and a few other things and totally forgot about posting the pics after I topped them. I dunno if anyone if following the grow or looking but I will post for future people because some post here have helped me alot by following their journal.

Well here are new pics of Cleopatra & Nefertiti after the topping I did on Wednesday!

I have been watering them with 1/2 the recommended dosage. I sure don't wanna burn my babies! Also on the transplanting issue...

I was thinking of doing it the next time the soil is try which should be a few days (Sunday I am thinking). Do you think this is a good time to change them?

Also I have read with FoxFarm Ocean Forest that I should just water with straight water for a few days after transplanting to avoid nute burn from the nutes already in the soil is this True?

And to answer your last question I am using a 96W 6300k T5 lighting above them now... any recommendations there?

I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Well watchers it has been 3 lovely weeks since I planted these 3 Wappa seeds and they are turning out to be some beauties! I named them Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Uma. I recently topped Cleopatra and Nefertiti @ day 17 and they are coming right along.

So @ the 21 day I am still using the following nutrient mixture for my growing babies... I mixed the following to a gallon (about half the normal dosage)...

1Tblspoon Big Bloom
1 Teaspoon Grow Big
1 Teaspoon Sweet
1/4 Teaspoon Microbe Brew

Still Under the 96W T5's and seem to be loving it... Any Suggestions?

Cleopatra is SUPER Bushy and has alot of side branches that look very nice too. So I am saying she is my favorite. She was topped! *but I love them all the same lol*

Nefertiti has the look to me of like a Super Model... She stand firm and tall, has a little bushiness to her but not as much as Cleopatra. She is gonna be a nice one too. Topped also!

Now Uma leaves started out kinda crinkled I am not sure the reason of this... The nodes were SUPER close together so I decided to leave her as is (just in case she was being stressed) and see what happens. She is a beauty though and only time will tell!

Well I hope all looks well to you guys and if you have any suggestion on what to do let me know. I was thinking of repotting the next time the soil dries. So I am crossing my fingers on this one. I always tend to get Nute burn when I do this to previous plants. I am thinking I will just water with plain water for about a week after I transplant... Any suggestion here... PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
