well wtf. i just looked in my garden shed and found them. there i think 8 square so nothing wrong with that. so what its square.OoOoOoooo omg. i am planning on getting them into bigger pots. but i have wierd growbox dimensions. ya know. 14 deep, 17 wide. plus that other shitbox ive got in a juice container. wha evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. oh and im so used to cheking up onmy plants whenever im in private cuz of vegging. but now with the timer on. i cant wait till the lights turn on at midnight to check on em. i once found myselfjust about to open in when lights were off. but i stopped my self , i just forgot. so much easier with that blasted timer. dont have to worry about being home to unplug the cord everyday.

Lol no probs at all with square tubs, if anything they get more room than a round 1

im also giving them some nutrients. uhh i forget the exact numbers. around 6-14-8 or something. the box tellsme 7 drops per litre of water. so i put 3-4 drops in a half litre water bottle and feed from that. but that doesnt seem like much at all to me.

Very nice.
For such a small place, those plants are coming along nicely. I would toped them before putting them into flowering. That way they are more bushier and dont get to tall. That works for your small space. They grow alot in the flowering stage. But keep up the good work
I started a grow, the biggest one is starting to get its second set of leaves, so I have awhile to go. But hey, I will keep up on your grow. Keep updates and pics posted.

I forget how much vertical space you said you had, but you should try a little LST if you need to keep the height down.

thanks for the suggestion. i know that topping would probly be a god idea, but this being my first grow i didnt want to go and do something i knew nothing about. i figure, ill get this one behind me and next time be a little more pro.

ive got 3ft till it hits my bulbs. yea i planned on lsting from the start, but went with a way more simplictic approach for such a smal space.and after all , in no professional. ill jump into other growing techniques once i get my first under my belt.

Hi SC,
White Widow grows on the tall side (being mostly sativa) and may not do well in tight quarters. Below is one seed bank's desc of it's heritage. WW gives a nice cerebral high if it goes well for you. GL 2 u !!!
Family Heritage: Originally the union came from a Brazilian and an Indian - Suffice to say the combination is 60: 40 sativa to indica ratio.

I hear ya there. You want to get a grow down before you start trying new things. I can't say that I blame you. But topping is very very easy when you eventually do it, you will see. All you do is take of the new node that grows up from the main stock. Use a sharp razor and slice it off, then you will get new stalks and have 2 big topps instead of just one.
When you do top on your next grow, you will see how easy it is, and how beneficial it is. Keep up the good work.

Keep up the great work, I'm about to hallow out an old speaker, to use as a grow cab. How many CFL's do you have running in that box? Are you useing dixi cups as pots? What are you useing to keep up with your humidity and temp. Overall cost of your cab so far?
