So it's been 19 days since these bitches sprouted and they are looking pretty good. I have them under a 2 bulb 4' T8 light fixture that I got from Home Depot. The bulbs are Phillips SunLight bulbs at 40 watts/~3000 lumens each. Thus far they seem to be doing a good job and I will be using them for the entire lifespan of these White Dwarfs. I am using the Humbolt Nutrients Oneness system which includes Oneness, SeaMag, and SeaCal. When they begin to flower, I will add Ginormous to the mix. I began using Humbolt Nutes about a two weeks ago and saw an explosion in my other plants. All my plants are in Fox Farm Ocean Forest with a little extra Black Gold Perlite.
In the top we have some clones and my White Dwarfs. The clone tray is a mixture of Misty Northern, Purple Passion, and Grapefruit Haze clones. In there as well are some Pot of Gold and White Widow seeds. Then, the grow bag in the middle is a White Dwarf that I started about a week ago. It is separate from the others because it is going to go outside soon. We have been having crazy weather here lately and I can't wait until it can go out. Supposed to get some heavy snow tomorrow and then hopefully that is the last of it. Anyways.. The three far right plants are my White Dwarfs and the one just left of them is a Grapefruit Skunk clone that I potted a few days ago.
Now on to the bottom. The two plants down there are Grapefruit Skunks that I got as EXTREMELY NEGLECTED clones. They were with 4 other clones under a single household bulb. Very Sad! I nursed them back to health and then began to LST them under 52 watts (2x 100w equivalent CFLs) each. I tied down anything that I could. Rather than using twine I used paperclips chained together and then spiked into the soil. Works great! They were Veged for 29 days and then put into flower 5 days ago. Since I began using the Humboldt Ginormous with them, they have really began growing. They grew so quickly I had to raise the lights which caused them to stretch even more. So I'm hoping they stop stretching soon and just start filling out. This first one was a skinny clone with long branches which I tied down and was able to keep most of the growth confined to the branches and off the main stalk. This accounts for its bushiness.
This one was a tall lanky clone which I have trained around the rim of the pot. Its made up of a curly stalk and two main bottom branches. The growth off the stalk is the growth around the back rim of the pot and all the growth covering the front of the pot is from the two huge lower branches.
Needless to say, I'm having a ball watching these tied down bitches grow and cannot wait until these White Dwarfs start filling out. Plus I have all these clones to plant a guerilla garden and maybe even enough to go plant in front of the Justice Center.. If anyone is interested, I can maybe post some pics of my other cabs. One is a 400w HPS flower cab w/ 2 Misty Northerns about 1 1/2 weeks into flowering. The other is a 6 Bulb T5 flower light with 4 Purple Passions and 1 Misty Northern about 1 1/2 weeks into flowering. I am beginning to run out of room..!!
Hope you guys like it..
Love..
