How does my 1 week old Black Destroyer look?

VACAVILLE,CA.GROWER · Jul 22, 2014

Hey everyone, here is my 1 week old black destroyer. I had 1 female seed left over. So I am trying my 1st ever 12/12 from seed grow. I have her in a small pot with ocean forest soil. I have been just giving her ph water at around 6.0. I have bloom nutes when she is ready. I am just using cfl lighting with her but I do place her outside also to get natural sunlight. She just turned 1 week old today.. So tell me what you think, how does she look? Does she need any veg nutes or should I just keep giving her ph water till she starts to bloom?

I am growing her 12/12 from seed. I place her outside for a few hours a day. Then I place her back under the cfl lights at night.

Because you don't want a big/high plant?

well I have seen some growers that do the 12/12 from seed grow. I had 1 seed left and just wanted to try it. I have seen good things and bad things about 12/12 from seed. So I am just trying it and see what happens for myself.

Yeah it can be done, but it is definitely not gonna be a big plant i think.

If you have the space outdoors, then do it outdoors

yea its hard to grow a full size plant in the backyard. I live in a apt. I had a huge cherry bomb plant last year. Then someone jumped the fence and cut her down. She was just about 2 weeks from finish. So with this plant I am doing 12/12 from seed, she will be short but I can keep her indoors.

12/12 from seed is just fine for an apartment grow, although I would just 12/12 her indoors unless you are sure you can make it a true 12/12 without forgetting one day.

oh yes. Her lights come on at 6am. Then I place her outside around noon till 4 or 5pm. Then I bring her back inside. I just try and save alittle on the electric bill by using alittle natural sunlight when I can.

I have her in a small grow box. I have her under a single 65watt 6500k . Then for flower I have 2 65watt 2700k bulbs. I also have alot of smaller cfls that I can use. I think next time if I try a 12/12 from seed grow. I will veg with cfls and flower with a 150watt hps.

Just be on the lookout for bugs bringing her in and out like that, just sayin'.

yes I look for them every time before I bring her in. By looking at her pictures. Do you think she needs any veg nutes or I should just wait till flowering starts?
