musik!

Actually, I lost 3 yesterday. They looked just fine, but did not produce any roots whatsoever. They just fell right outta the rockwool when I was checking them for roots.

Still got 13 though and outta be just fine with any luck!

Hey cigo, they are White Widow and thanks for the compliment!

Np!
White widow, old good strain!
Everyone knows it!

This is what I've got at the beginning of the 9th week in flower. I am going to begin to flush them and prepare to harvest due to having to be out of town for a week. I'd prefer to wait another week before starting the flush but the Oregon Coast is calling me, my wife, and our Road King Classic!

The clones are at day 10. They seem to be looking good and actually growing but I'm still not seeing any roots. I'm gettin' kind of impatient I guess...

Hello All!

First off, sorry for the lack of updates and that's why I stopped by...

Out of seven plants, i ended up with about 3 oz. of White Widow and 4 oz. of White Castle.

Smoke report, what I can say? The White Castle is a very nice head type high that energizes me and keeps me busy. My wife like that. The White Widow is much more of a couch lock type high for me anyway. Don't get me wrong, it's still heady but it's much more of a body type high than the other.

Over all we're very pleased with the results, 7 plants, almost 7 oz.

Now if I could just get these damn clones to do there thing!

The rockwool clones lasted about 3 weeks before they finally died off. I bought daisy cloner and didn't have much luck with it the first time around, but this time things are looking way better. I hope to have some girls in veg in a day or two.

Thanks to you all for your help and guidance, it was and is very much appreciated!

The t-5's are something that came with the unit when i bought it. So yes, they're from bcnl.

Hey Kruizin, Was actually going to ask you the same question, I just got my bloom box and it does not have the t5s on the bottom, was this an option you paid extra for? Also what kind of ph/ppm system did you use? I want to buy a trimeter but there aren't any electrical outlets in the box to plug things into!! any suggestions? I too am growing white widow in my box. Please stop by and give me any tips you can think of. Ill definitely be referring to your thread. thanks in advance.

I bought a bloombox royale as opposed to the regular bloombox. The version I bought came with upgraded nutes and the t-5's. So yeah....it was an option I paid for although I didn't know I was gonna get them. I thought all I was getting was upgraded nutes and an extra supply of lights and such. There is a hole in the back of the flower side for any extra cords that you might have something useful for.

I ran the box at a ph of 5.6-5.8 most of the time. The water was tap and was let to sit a day or two to get the chlorine out. It was a pain in the butt using the rockwool because I'm pretty sure that's why I had to adjust the ph on a daily basis. This time around I'm using hydroton (or whatever it's called) and that is ph neutral. No more ph problems. I just followed the chart that came with the manual for feeding and setting everything up.

Good luck with your grow dude and take care!

can you tell me how big the hole is on the flower side? also is there something that keeps light from leaking in/out? thanks

 

[kruizin]

The hole in the back is a 2" diameter. After you insert the plastic insert, it's still 2" in diameter on the inside, but shrinks to about 1/2" on the outside of the box.

Trust me, there is not much light leaking at all.
