Hello all. As the title states, I’ve been “out of the game” for a few. I thought I’d start a grow journal because I’m digging the way these girls are shaping up. Today is day 50 from seed.
Wanted to do some White Widow this run. Haven’t had any what I consider to be “really good white bud” for years. I’m in Colorado and even here, I’ve seen a decline in shop weed... Everyone is all into crazy made up hybrid strains with dumb names. All the bud seems like it’s been rushed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s all good stuff nowadays, but growers seem to loose their passion for putting out THE BEST product they can.
Anyway, this is also my first try at growing in Coco. A small learning curve that lead to what I think was salt build up slowed growth for about 5 days was easily fixed by flushing several gallons of ph’d and lightly nuted water fixed them right up. After that, and seeing that I was underwatering, growth all but exploded.
These 3 girls are in a 4x2 tent. I’m hand watering and using the full line of Canna nutrients. 3 gallon fabric pots. Watering with tap water. (250ppm from tap). Plants seem to love it in my opinion.
Recently switched from blurple lights to a much cooler running, more efficient and much better spectrum HLG 320xl QB (3000k). Again, this appears to have been a really good move. Temps in the tent dropped from about 79-80 deg f to 73-74. RH currently around 35-40%
My only worry is that I’ve waited too long to flip over to flower. I’ll be setting up the scrog tomorrow and cutting some clones. I’d like to get some auto flowers and clones going in a separate tent I just put up with a HLG 100 board (4000k) just chilling waiting to run... WW is supposed to stay pretty compact, but look at these bushes! I’m pretty happy with them so far...
Feel free to ask questions or comment. I’m always open to criticism as well. I’ll keep this updated often...
