Hi guys! Here are girls on day 6.

Critical Cheese

White Widow

I threw away my 5th seed of white widow (failed) and put new one under moist towel paper.

Thanks Golfer! Can't wait for them to be bigger

Does anyone had problem sprouting Dutch Passion's seeds? I bought 7 seeds of WW and 2 of em failed... I'm hoping that the last one gonna pops out.

I know...it's so exciting when they're at this stage. They change every day and I watch them closely when they're so young - even on my 3rd grow

Anxious to see how that WW does. I have WW fem seeds from CKS that I hope to try next.

Good luck

Same here I keep watching them every 2-3hours! I went with DP's seeds my friend recommended it as for a first time and I got that Dinafem critical cheese for free ^^

Humidity is a bit low 51%, temps @78F. From time to time I spray girls with water to raise the humidity for few hours. Any suggestions?

re: Zye5t's - 5 x Autos - DP's White Widow & Critical Cheese - First Grow

Honestly, I don't worry much about the humidity. I grow in my garage in a tiny space. I'm more or less at the mercy of the weather. Most strains can deal with a fairly wide range (or so I've read) of 30 - 70. My space ranges. Today it was 46% which is lower than normal. When it rains it's gone as high as mid 70. Temps can vary widely in my grow too but thankfully my plants have been fairly resilient.

You'll also want a lower RH when they flower to minimize the chance of mold.

Every grow you'll learn more

Interesting, thanks for tips golfer. Much appreciated

Small update with some pics - first week!

White widows

Cricitical cheese

Seems like critical cheese growing up faster than white widows. My temp is higher now its around 86F(30C) and sometimes even 91F(33C).

Anyone has an idea how to lower my temperature?

re: Zye5t's - 5 x Autos - DP's White Widow & Critical Cheese - First Grow

Do you have any fans going in there? I didn't see any in the picture inside the tent. It may help a bit with the heat but it will also move the plants slightly and that helps build stem strength. Air movement is always recommended.

I also didn't see any exhaust fans. They would help lower the temps. Mine have gotten has high as mid 90's for short periods of time, nothing more than few hours. I aim for 80 but rarely am I close, especially in the winter now.

It's 20 outside and they're in the garage which is about 40. Inside the tent they're about 78/80.

re: Zye5t's - 5 x Autos - DP's White Widow & Critical Cheese - First Grow

Yes I do have fans, intake at the bottom and on top. My carbon filter is outside the tent on top. I do have cool tube but I know nothing about electricity... and I bought my lights pre-installed.

That's what I've been told, keep temps around 80 ish. Maybe I should get fresh air straight from outside? lol

Small update - day 10.
It's nutes time and I'll be following Atrain's feeding schedule.
Also I was thinking of giving bud candy around 20days. I've read that it helps them a bit but I'm not sure...

Temperature is good now around 80F(27C) and humidity 50%.

Group shot with late baby ww in the middle

I think so far they looks well and healthy. Update coming next week with some LST I hope

 

[golfer420]

Looking good!

Now is the time to start some LST. There are many growers who are topping autos. I topped one of my plants in the last grow.

Everything seems to be going as planned

 

[Zye5t]

Now? :O ok then!

I did LST on white widows and ponytail on critical cheese will see how it'll turn out in few days, thanks golfer!

 

[Zye5t]

Hello 420! I did some LST on my plants. Some pics day 19. I bend all of them hard, I hope it's ok... Let me know what you guys think.

I accidently topped one of the white widows... I hope it's gonna ok...

Group shot!

 

[golfer420]

Looks good, Z I did the same thing in my last grow - mistakenly topped an auto. Turned out ok. There were other issues with that grow but there are many growers who top their autos.

The check thebeast's thread.

Auto Topping LED Grow

 

[Zye5t]

Ok, if you say so. I'm curious how that topped ww will turn out
*grabs popcorn* that's a long thread! I hope I will find some answers there

 

[Zye5t]

Another update - Day 26
I still keep LST and keep stretching them. Will post another update in few days
