okay, so mine is under 400w HPS right now, i'll probably move her back to 250w in a couple weeks..

i also have a roadruner going myself, yet i have it in hydro. i'll throw around some updates if anyone is interested, i just started hydroponics and it's crazy just how easy it is.

Just a little update, 4/5 of my auto white widow's have germinated now. I'll take some picture's once i transplant them into soil!

@ 43hitman, yea during the majority of the growth, u will want blooming nd flowering nutes, itl b alright to use them more then just a 1/4 strength, jus work up to it, im using a light solution because my plant is still young, nd nute burns can b common when using to high of a concentration on such a young plant. keep in mind, using veg nutes ie. nitrogen is alright during the first couple of weeks of growth, as it takes autoflowers just about that amount of time to grow vegatatively and become sexually mature. that is when you want to switch to ur flowering nutes.

@zootime, good to hear that the majority of the seeds cracked, that white widow should grow up to b nice nd stanky keep us posted

Cool deal. Thanks for the confirmation. I was going to do this AF in a Aerogarden, but since I'm new and am currently practicing with some bagseed in my AG, I'm just going to do soil for the White Dwarf. I germed the seed yesterday, put it in soil last night and the seed is already broke the surface. It only took 8 hours for the seed to germ in a wet paper towel. I'm hoping this is a good sign. I'll post up some pics tomorrow.

good to hear 43hitman, as kulong would say, welcome to the cage

 

[KuLong]

Looks like our girls are all starting out pretty nicely.

 

[43Hitman]

Okay guys I decided to post up some pics a bit earlier. I'm going to get some mylar, and a new pot tomorrow for the White Dwarf in the red cup. I know the cup sucks but its all we had and I was really anxious to get it started. I added an air pump and stone to the AG to help the experiment get more oxygen. So far so good, but the nutes for AG prolly shouldn't be used for seedlings. You can see the little bit of burn.
