First Time Indoor Grow

[Bruno4438]

This is the official day 7.
Day 4 if you don't count the days that took to germinate the seeds.
Anyhow, not many updates for today, still since i like to post pictures so much, i'll post some new one taken today.
I decided to name my plants :O

to me it looks like the tall one is stretching.. maybe move the the light closer.? but i maybe wrong..

 

[Bruno4438]

i planted it a bit on top
it's probably smaller than the one on the right.
I added a bit of soil so that the stem doesn't suffer.

 

[kiki1990]

ok anyway great work!!!

Any time you plant it deeper the part of the plant under the soil will grow roots. So essentially you just added to your root structure! Congrats!

 

[Bruno4438]

Got any tips to make them grow faster?

Hey guys, had to leave for a few days
I watered the plants when i left, just incase.

Came back today, and was loved the way my little plants were.

Looking great ! ! Well done!

Thanks

I wanted to harvest around December 15th, so i can smoke them at December 31st to January 1st with my friends.
When should i put them to flower? i want to have a decent yield, like 20g dry a plant.
Should i transplant them now to bigger pots or wait until they are a bit bigger?
Should i start TOP'ng or FIM'ng at the 2nd node?

I'm thinking that White Widow is an 8 or 9 week flower. That is under ideal conditions. I currently have two at 52 days flower. There are pics in my journal. I haven't finished them so I have no idea how much weight I will get but given your space and time constrictions I'm thinking 20g dry is a pretty high goal. Maybe not impossible but I think you would have to keep everything perfectly dialed in. Good luck to you and check out my journal if you get a chance.

The pot size for those plants is fine, I would top the 3rd set of true leaves. I topped 4 out if the 8 plants I started and they all are preforming better than most if the in topped ones. Except the lemon kush , she's a beast looks like a Christmas tree.

If you want to harvest before xmas, you should flip them by the end of the month, at the latest, but the buds might not be dry, and definitely won't be cured. There are some methods to quick dry the buds, the way I do it only takes 3-4 days, and doesn't decrease potency like some methods do.

You're right, if i start flowering at November 1st, it will be ready for harvesting at December 28th :/
Well, i'll do this week and the next 2, completely 18/6. Ill switch around October 28th, depending on the size of the plants

If you want to harvest on schedule i would not top of FIM your plant, it will only retard its growth and cause extra vegetative time.

Hey guys, I've been away for a few days
This was October 9th (9th day of Vegetation)

So, got some updates:
- Switched the lamps to horizontally
- Added a 45W and a 33W instead of the 30W and 33W that i had before
- Got rid of one plant due to space issues
- FIM'd for the first time the two plants
- Starting LST training

So, both plants are small (like i want them) and they have already 4 nodes, i fim'd on the 3rd one yesterday (October 13th)

This was today October 14th (14th day of Vegetation)

Overview:

Small pot one:

Big pot one:

Thanks for the help 420Girl
New updates:
- Started a LST technique that i've seen in a YouTube channel

This was after the LST (done 2 days ago)

The small one (Beatriz)

After the LST (2 days ago)

The LST technique i saw, decided to try it out

 

[Light Addict]

Looking good my friend, Ive never seen taped leaves before so ill sit and watch how they go! Keep it up!

 

[Bruno4438]

i saw this guy doin it, and i've been following his videos for a while now.
I believe he knows what hes doing

Interesting, this is why I like following others grows, never would have thought of that.

Guys, i've been thinking.
My box is pretty small, i'm going to have to transplant the small pot plant into one like my other plant, and i've been researching on how much the plant grows in flowering stage, and for what i've seen, it grows alot.

I was thinking about flipping on October's 28th and make a 8week flowering.

Question is, should i do that or flip on October's 21st and make it a 9week flowering?

I've just seen a guy flip to flowering after 30days, and do a 8week flowering and get 100g dried with a 400W cfl setup
