Ozone's White Widow First Ever Grow 2014

[ozone25]

Hello Everyone!

As the title says this will be my first ever grow and hope to have some feedback in regards to what I can do better.

Right now my veg room is nothing but a small spot under a bench. There is enough room for it to grow up to 2ft before I move it to my flowering space(in progress).

Without Further Delay Here's what I am working with:

Strain: Nirvana White Widow Fem
Lights: CFL for veg then to LED for flowering
Growing Medium: Coco Coir
Nutes(sp?): Advanced Nutrients Sensei Grow Part A and B(Ph Perfect)
Training Techniques: I will be using scrog, LST, topping, maybe attempting some defoliation and possibly some supercropping

Current state of my girl:


Week 1

Can't really see it but she is already yellowing at the tips a little. I have been using 1ml part A and part B in 1 litre of water. Watering once a day. I hope this is enough for coco.

I will keep the thread updated as she keeps growing up

Day 13

Some minor spots(like one or 2) but might just be from water droplets.

Just ordered my RW-75 from Area 51 LED

Looking good . It could be nutrient burn. You should check the link in my signature to make sure you are mixing them correctly.

Day 20 - Need help figuring out if this is the point where I top her. She seems rather small to be topping but I think she's on her 4th node. Advice would greatly be appreciated.

 

[Garage Grower]

yes, typically somewhere between the 3rd & 5th node is where you would top or FIM the first time

Looking good

I topped her today I will also add a few more CFL's as I don't think 2 will cut it anymore.

Ill post an update in a week.

 

[Celia Jr]

Lookin good! Yeah, she's gonna bush out like a monster now after the topping. Have you supercropped?

Check out light addicts guide to fluxing you don't have to follow it but you can take what u want from it and throw your own spin on it its just a really good journal to read and if u did wanna follow it let him know and he will walk you through it

Week 4 - Day 28

I topped her on the 21st of October, and just topped her a second time yesterday. I also bought a sunblaster with reflector as 2 CFLs were no longer cutting it.

I have been LSTing the plant and tried super cropping but broke the stem so will have to wait a little longer until I get the technique down.

SCROGing should be happening in the next week. I think ill let her veg another week and a bit, I have the room for her to grow.

Pics:

I just got my PH and PPM pen in the mail and my water is at a PH of 7.3. PPM's I think I am using is at 250 but im really new to the use of these devices so once I get the hang of it I can include more appropriate numbers.

Lookin good! Yeah, she's gonna bush out like a monster now after the topping. Have you supercropped?

Tried and broke the stem, repaired with duck tape. Once I gain enough courage I will attempt again.

Looked into it and maybe for my next grow. I'll strick with SCROG for now.

 

[joegrower619]

Well ur doing a good job so keep it up plant is looking nice and bushy can't wait to follow the progress of this Lil beast lol

Week 5 - Day 36

Not sure if I should let her veg longer. Suggestions?

Moved her to her new spot. Also started the scrog.

Week 6? - Day 42

Yesterday I flipped the switch to start flowering. Here are the current shots of her. (Really hard to get good pictures with my iphone :/ )

Just purchased a Secret Jardin - Dark Street 60 II grow
tent which I will have to slightly modify to fight in my space. Can't wait for that.

Next purchases will be a carbon filter, inline fan and looking into a CMH if anyone has any suggestions. Looking at the Phillips(though I hear they are for horticulture) or other brands that I am researching such as Grobal, if anyone know of them.

Cheers

Week 7 Day 55

Bought her a tent, starting to smell nice

Looking into buy the Philips 315w CMH, hopefully will be here in a week.

Nice job, looking really good!

Day 66 Week 9?

I skipped last weeks picture, but she was doing great. She was too bushy for me. I did some heavy defoliation as a bit of an experiment for where my heart lies on the defoliation topic.

 

[ozone25]

These are last weeks photo's. I will post this weeks photo's tomorrow.

After the defoliation she came right back immediately and her buds are now starting to fatten up a bit(next weeks photos show it better).

Sorry for the lack of posting. Been busy with the holidays and being lazy.

She developed a bit of a calcium deficiency but since she is so close to harvest I doubt me adding calcium will make a difference.

The pictures are week 5, almost week 6. These are not the most recent as again, I am a week behind.

The last picture is more recent than the other photos.

Calcium and potassium both create deficiency's with small spotting.

You want pH 5.8 for hydroponic and soiless (peat moss and coco coir) and pH 6.5 for soil.
