white widow fem cfl micro grow

[emannn2010]

i`m watering twice weekly and will be feeding @ 1/2 strength every third water building upto full strength when i think she is ready.
as far as soil, its just a mix of compost and back garden soil + perlite...50/50/20% roughly.
the trouble was at the beginning i messed around to much with the original soil and she stunted, but she looks much happier now
with nice new growth.
temps are, lights on 77/78 and lights off 63/64.
luckily enough the exhaust fan is at the top of the box and in-line with the four cfl`s and sucks the heat out straight away.
hope this information helps mr.lightgr3en and good luck with ur wr.
as far as topping is concerned, at the beginning of this grow i just couldnt bring myself to actually hurt her but having got used to the idea
i think it may be the answer, as in a pc box there is no room, of course i will also lst her down either side of the bottle, its going to be a
lot of work though and at least a couple more weeks b4 i start flowering.
the smell up close is delicious.
thx for the like SensiHerb

then I need to top asap lol

you never want to top above the 3rd branches. topping right above the second set, as soon as it grows its 3rd, will make it have 4 main colas... i believe. lol. check UncleBens topping method thread, its all in there.

she seems to have gotten over her troubles, i have just watered her with added epsom salts, i think i will give
her 1/2 strength nutes next watering.
good growing guys

 

[mr.lightgr3en]

She's looking nice how much Epsom salt did you give her and when are you planning to top?

 

[emannn2010]

hey mr.lightgr3en,i hope ur wr is growing well,
i have just topped her and as far as the epsom salts are concerned i added 3/4 tablespoon to 3/4 ltr of water, i watered untill the water reached the bottom
of the bottle then unscrewed the lid, tilted her up and poured out the excess.
as i have trained her to grow flat along the bottle the shoots on the underside are very small which works out perfectly as i will be taking them as cuttings in
about a week or so.
after that she will be put into flower.
happy growing guys

i9have a question ive been germnating my seeds in the propagatoor pro for about a week and nothign so i took the seeds out (snow white and white rhino) and used the towel method. the WR crack and has show its root a littlw bu tthe snow white is showing nothing? will this affect the seed/ and and advice on what happened?

 

[emannn2010]

hey highguyt28, not sure i`m the right guy to answer this question, but i will try.
seeds as far as i know dont always germinate in a couple of days,i think it just depends
on the indvidual seed, i would keep trying with the snow white.
the white rhino i would leave untill the tail is about 1/2" long then plant as normal.
hope this helps.
good luck and happy growing

As for my W.R she is looking healthy im undecided if I want to top or not?

my white widow germinated quite quickly, but i cant remember the exact number of days.
but as with any germination it seems like an age.
i tried to germinate seeds that were 15 years old once, after waiting like 2 weeks i popped one open and she was alive but
didnt germinate.
good luck and happy growing

hey mr.lightgr3en, i doubt it, just go back to normal light hours and i`m sure she will be fine.
mj is a hardy plant and can take a lot more stress than that.

update on my grow, she is bushing out nicely, looking forward to putting her into flower soon.
then only ten fcuking long weeks till harvest.
happy growing guys

Lookin at this pic, I'm wonderin if you've not been tempted to LST her over towards the empty side of the bottle. Try and promote a whole bunch of budsites all along her, rather than just having that top cola.
