Warezaholic's Skid Row Closet Grow

[warezaholic]

I put that $600 stimulus check in the bank yesterday and the thought just occurred to me, Donald Trump's name is on the check, SO will the check BOUNCE? LMYAO...

5 week update. Left and right super bud autoflower. Center is Watermen CBD photoperiod. The one on the right is having a minor mildew problem. I treated the surface of the rockwool with mild bleach solution. Time for a water change.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

Do you mind taking a close up pic of the mildew (if you haven't already cleaned it)? I'd like to see that up close.

 

[warezaholic]

I already treated with mild bleach solution however, this is a stubborn case; It's still visible mostly on the edge's.

 

[warezaholic]

I never had to determine the sex of a plant and this freebie seed was labeled as "Regular" seed. Is this too young to determine the sex at 5 weeks old?

 

[warezaholic]

Again I inquire. Is this is or is this ain't a male plant I have here???

 

[warezaholic]

Is anybody around that can advise?

I had a free seed labeled as "regular seed"! Well I have only grown feminized AND this is obviously a Male! Should I dispose of it or what?

 

[warezaholic]

Never mind; problem solved. CHOP, CHOP.. AND IN THE CAN...

My last super bud is ready to harvest (week 11) and is spending a day or two in water flush. What perfect timing because my new seed batch is arriving tomorrow. I am expanding my grow from 3 maximum to a possible 5 (maybe 6) plants by setting up a fabric Wardrobe. More Work for my tired old back, but double the product in the same time period.

I've been away a couple months so I'm checking in.

I'm seeding a new "expanded" grow from 3 max up to 5 or even 6 if they are small. My large closet could have 3 good plants. They are all White Widow Autoflower.

I decided to buy this flimsy $30 fabric, 5ft 10in long by 22in deep, wardrobe OrganizerCloset (barely strong enough to support the hardware on top... I modified it from 3 compartments down to 2 compartments and laid a light weight, 4ft by 2ft 1/4 inch plywood as a top with a measured hole to fit the 2000watt led panel as a recessed light source. The other weight on the structure is my (DWC) high end Tetra Whisper AP300 air pump.

Tetra Whisper are (in my opinion) the best large aquarium/DWC air supply pumps. I own THREE Tetra Whisper AP300's AND ONE AP150 as well as 2 Tetra 40's as standby nutrient circulation pumps! Ive been a Tetra Whisper fan for decades because they really are "WHISPER" Quiet, last forever, and easily maintained (the numbers are recommended gallon of water circulation for aquariums health.

I'm anticipating a big full bag on the next cleanup... The question I ask myself is, do I have the ambition to try to harvest a small batch of seeds???

I officially have 5 white widow seedlings above the rockwool cube substrate. 3 in the closet and 2 older sprouts in the tent. Roots are starting the reach down so it only days until the roots start getting into the water. I'll install diluted nutes increasing over a week or more witch should stimulate rapid rooting.

Photographs in grey scale to counter the led light effects.. one day I'll find an android camera filter.

My setup is more work but eliminates the need for expensive, bulky circulation systems. I can get away with watering my autoflower plants as long as 2 or 3 days depending on the size of the bucket vs. root-mass.

I haven't had the wherewithal yet to try other methods like soil or coco coir. I'm more worried about nutrient balance, disease and pests than with water. I might consider coco some day but not very soon!

I have had about 5 successful closet grows in the past 3 years with minimal troubles so I just expanded my growroom by setting up a customized Portable Wardrobe Cabinet with room for up to 3 more buckets (trying just 2 buckets for its maiden grow).

I don't know what is meant by discontinued Bubbleponic topics! I am 100% sold on this method and in my opinion, is cleaner and ultimately less worries. You might notice the blue, floating straw which tells me how far fluids are dropping each day so I can simply refill to the desired level below the bottom of their 6 inch net pots.

Update on my closet grows. Here is the older 2 White Wdow Autoflower at 5 weeks (in mono). The leaves are really large and healthy. There's 3 more in another closet at two+ weeks old struggling a little. To be continued..

 

[warezaholic]

i managed to reinsert those seedlings with the algae into new rockwool cubes and they have small chance as the roots are starting to reach below the rockwool towards the fluid reservoir. if they try to catch hold, they might mature. Ill post pictures later from my android... I have 3 that are flourishing and just 2 that are a month behind its roommate (germinated together)

 

[warezaholic]

The weird never stops with these White Widow autos

I germinated the first 2 on 3/7 and both are heavily vegetative and at 8 weeks should be showing first flowering stage but they're not!


Then there's the 3 planted on 3/20 (nearly 2 weeks later) that has one healthy and 2 barely a few inches tall. Now ALL 3 OF THEM ARE BEGINNING TO FLOWER!!! This might be the tiniest autoflowers ever to show a flower....

 

[warezaholic]

These are two planted first but first flowers are not present



The only difference is, the 2 big girls are in a 3year established grow area with 2 1000 watt leds.

The younger flowering plants are in a "New Grow tent (a customized $40 fabric tent) with a single 2000 watt led.

"Everything" else is identical!
