Transplanted to 7 gallon root pouches. The one on the left lost about the bottom 3rd of its root system when i tried to get it out of the 1 gallon plastic container, while the other came out in one piece. This is taken just after transplant, hence the droopy leaves.IMAG0294[1].jpg

Lol yes i have it off tho!
I was actually thinking it's a cool idea. Drill some holes in the fan housing at the bottom, put a speed controller on it and blow cool air from the floor up to help cool the plant.....maybe

4 days after transplant and they seem to like the 7 gallon root pouches. And BTW, I like these Root Pouches way better than the smart pots I used on my first grow. During watering the Smart Pots would allow the water to run through the fabric. The water seemed to always find its way to that area of the pot that would allow it to run right through, making it difficult to get the soil around the edges of the pot saturated. But the Root Pouches don't do this at all, the water stays within the pot, and you can see difference in the soil after watering. ( I am in know way affiliated with Root pouches, this is just my observation. :cool: ) These pics were taken just after I watered, so they look a little droopy. I need to start taking my pics before I tend to the plants, I'll try to remember next time.

Less than a week into flower. watering once a week with tap water with a tablespoon per gallon of molasses. About a gallon per plant.
I did some additional LST on the taller branches to let the shorter ones catch up.

First sign of flowers at exactly 1 week. It appears to be female, which I was expecting, since these are sold as Feminized. here's my attempt at some macro photography ,

You can see the purple stems clearly here. I'm not sure if this is because of my temps, 68-70 low and 77-79 high, or just genetics. I dont think it's a deficiency considering I just transplanted into a high P soil mix. Can anyone with experience growing White Widow or Girl Scout Cookies confirm the purple stem trait? Here's a couple more pics, they look relatively healthy to me, but if anyone thinks this looks like a deficiency please chime in

Mine are really P hungry, even in veg. Besides that, they have been fairly easy growing. I used some water that I soaked egg shells in because one of the plants was showing some enterveinal spotting that I was thinking was a calcium issue. It seemed to help even though I've heard mixed reviews as to if it's even effective.

your plant looks awesome!
What Soil are you using? and what nutes do you use
Here is a great DIY soil mix that will get you started.
http://forum.grasscity.com/organic-growing/1116550-easy-organic-soil-mix-beginners.html
It's my own custom soil, all organic. It is equal parts Peat, Perlite and EWC. A cup or so of Pulverized Dolomite Lime per Cu/ft as well as 3-4 cups azomite. I have different amendments for veg soil vs flower soil, but for veg I mix Espoma Garden Tone, blood meal, kelp meal, and other popular higher N organic firtilizers, in a 3-1-2 NPK ratio. Although next round with these White cookies I'll up the P some for veg. I use 3 cups TOTAL of those combined amendments per Cu/Ft of base soil. Let it cook for 2-3 weeks minimum and your good to go. For Flower soil I do the same except I use higher P organic ferts to a 1-3-2 ratio and amend a little heavier, more like 4-5 cups total amendments to the base soil mix. The flower soil is amended a little heavier due to the plants being more mature when they hit this flower soil and can usually handle the richer environment, same principle as Subs super soil. If the plants are going to be in the same soil for longer than 4 weeks or so, I'll top dress a tablespoon or 2 of either the flower nute mixture or veg nute mixture depending on the stage of the plant, every 3-4 weeks to help keep the plants happy. So far this has worked great for me.
