Hey guys. Already have a journal going with 5 white widows but have just gotten my secongd batch of seeds and well as there doesnt seem to be a grow journal on two of the strains Im doing a decided to do a seperate one

My seeds are Dutch passion 3 feminised twilight, 3 feminised Brainstorm from the same seed bank and 2 feminised Cali orange but donated by H dawg.
My set up is as follows

1m x 1m Grow tent
125w cfl for veg
400w hps with grow lamp for flower
125mm cool tube
6in Carbon filter
6in ruck fan for extaction
4in ruck fan for fresh air
Plagron soil with added perlite
Occilating fan
Advanced Nutrients Monkey juice coco coir grow and bloom. (mistake when buying not spotting they were for coco coir)
Advanced Nutrients Granma Enngys Seaweed extract
Bio bizz root stiulator
All the extra bits like duct and thermometer etc

Using the paper towel method the 3 twilight and 3 brainstorm were germed. They are about 3 days before cali orange bud which were only germed today. The twilight and brainstorm have been planted and 3 twilight and 1 brainstorm have broken the surface today. I put a small amount of root stimualor on the seeds when they went to soil and they seem to have sprouted faster than my previous beens.

Dont have a huge amount more room in my tent so a number of the seedlings may be put out side. I know they wont have a huge amount of veg time but just might stick them somewhere and see what happends. Keep the strongest of the seeds.

Hope people tag along and feel free to give opinions

Cheers

Che

Well as of today ive had a 100% germ and sprout rate. The last of the brainstorm broke the surface today. Also one of the taproots showed on one of the cal orange bud seeds today so it went into soil. The other seed was just cracking earlier so will be ready to go to soil tommorro. All the sprouts look very healthy ad strong althought they seem to be stretching a little to the light but im gonna wit to see it they keep stretching.

After discussion with my grow partner and due to lack of space in our flowering tent we decided to keep 2 twilight 1 brainstorm and 1 cali orang bud. The others are going to good homes to or maybe even to a guerilla grow even thought its late in the season.

Well today I got my 100 % sprout rate. The cali orange bud finally broke the surface. they are a few days behind. Slowly finding good homes for my remaining orphans. Got my brainstorm and twilight mixed up so will be trying to identify them as they grow. Will post a few pics tommoro even though theres not much to show.

Ill be watching your grow man my seeds just broke through the surface 6days ago so should flower around the same time. My first choice was twilight but they were all out so I went with big bud and crystal

Well begining to find new homes for my babies one by one. All seem to look healthy and the twilight seems to be doing very well. not too much stretch. Want to vet them for about four weeks and then put them into flower. I think i will take one healthy clone from each of the strains. Few group shots and hopefully you can read some name badges to see which they are. I confused 3 tops and know they have two twilight and one brainstorm just dont know which they are. Didnt make that mistake with my younger ones.

Need to ask. Im confused about when they finish being a seedling and when they begin to veg. No that they have their first set of spikey leaves does that mean they have begun to veg? Sorry if thats a stupid question

The plants are about 2 weeks old. The cali orange is a little stretchy but the others seem to have grown well. One is a good bit taller than the others. The cali orange is a few days younger. Added some root stimulator but it seems to have been a little too much cause it looks like the leaves have gone a little yellow but they still seem strong.They were topped a few days ago for the first time and have responded well. on with the pictures

Cheers guys. Have a strange sort of yellowing on the leaves. I thought it was nute burn from the root stimulator but a mate of mine that knows a bit about ordinary plants reckons its a deficiency in something. Could it be time to start giving them nutes as that would sort outthe deficiency? Also changed the veg room a little. They are now under a 2x36 w flouresent fixture with natural daylight tubes. I started to use this it means theres more space to veg them. I might try add the 125w cfl too for added light. Battery is gone in camera so will post pictures tommorro.

I was looking back over the last pictures i posted and in two pictures you can see the slightly different colouring that i was talking about. I was going to give them their first dose of grow nutes tommoro but wanted to ask in case it is too much nutes. As i mentioned a friend of mine reckons it nitrogen deficiency and a dose of grow nutes will cure it. Heres the pictures. You can see on the leaves the different colour and veins and stuff. Any ideas?

They look healthy to me maybe a little light green but like u said man those nutes should darken them up
