The ladies are back under the light. I started the day at 9am. I will shut down at 1am. Tomorrow I go back to 6am to midnight. One surprise this morning was the odor that has started. Is that normal for White Widow or other plants to start smelling after only 17 full days? It smells wonderful...

Thanks Dr. Jekyll, you made me feel relaxed and calm until that asshole Mr. Hyde put in his two cents. In all seriousness though, thank you!

Thanks guys. Since I found the mistake at 4:30am I will start the lights today at 9am and shut down at 1am, tomorrow I'll go back to 6am to midnight...hopefully that strategy is OK. Thanks RIU communtiy.

Thanks for the advice...what would you do to get back to the midnight-6am OFF cycle when it's now 5am and the plants have been in the dark for only an hour...when would you turn back on today? TIA...sorry, I'm all nervous about this !

I'm running 18/6 light cycle on day 20 of my grow. I found my timer failed to shut my lights off last night. My plants had 4.5 hours of extra light until I finally could get the light off. My light should be back on in 1 (6am on, midnight off) hour but I'm not sure how to get them back on...

Thanks for the helpful reply. I think that sounds like a good plan. It will also give the little one time to grow. Would you still give them their first dose of nutrients with their water today? Is the runt big enough for nutes?

Hi RIU I have entered day 16 of veg and my girls look healthy enough for their first nutrients. I waited to start the nutes as this is my very first attempt and I know FFOF soil already has some nutrients...I wanted to play it safe. I have the FF line of nutes (Big Bloom Tiger Bloom and Grow...

So first a thanks for the previous advice. Update on the ladies. After 56 hours all but one have not only sprouted but are about a half inch tall with both cotyledon and the first two fan leaves! I'm running at 75% and closed the light's distance from 36" to 34". No heat issues, temps are...

I did add a bit more water and checked back but still no run off. I lifted the pots and tapped my finger over the hole, revealing a drop of water each tap. I hope that's enough, it at least tells me that the water reached the bottom. I'm not touching them again for at least 48 hours. I weighed...

OK, so I just planted the girls in FF Ocean Soil. I followed all the tips about potting the soil, carefully burying the germinated seed and lightly patting the soil on the top down. I added my purified water, no nutes yet, and waited for drainage from the 6" pot holes. I have no run off but I'm...

And then add water until it leaks out the bottom?

Thanks in advance for all the great advice on my very first attempt. I am about to plant germinated WW (feminized) seeds into 6" pots using FF Ocean Forest soil. I should have asked this question a few days ago, but is there anything I need to do to the soil before planting? Here was what I...

Thank you all for the great advice. I am excited as 7 of the 8 have sprouted with a about 1/4" tails after 30 hours. The last to pop is the Northern Light I got as a freebee. I plan on planting in about 12 more hours. Hopefully the last seed will crack by then and I can plant all 8 at the same...

They look great, thanks for the advice. So 100% power is fine as long as heat is not an issue? Would you start them off at 50% or 75% or right to 100%? What I'm gathering from both yours and Wavel's replies is that the main thing to worry about is heat, not light. I asume if I can run 100% with...

I asked a similar question in another thread but have done some experimenting with lights and have come to this problem. I'm in the process of germinating my feminised WW seeds. I started them about 20 hours ago using paper towels in a blacked out tupperware container. I snuck a quick peek this...

I'm using FF soil. I had thought about an outside water source but up here in the north we have freezing issues so outside spigots are not an option. I may be forced to use purified water. This link is for Nestle Waters and shows the chemical make up of their product on page 4 of the PDF. What...

Hi guys, I'm so happy there's a forum like RIU to ask questions and learn. I've read info on many boards and RIU seems to be my favorite. I'm sure these questions are asked repeatedly so I appreciate all the patience with a new guy like me. I do try and research my questions before asking on the...

You're thinking something like this...?

Thanks all for the advice. I was thinking the same thing about the plants and moisture providing some extra humidity. I really want to go the 1000w route and your input makes me feel much better about it. I'm looking forward to using RIU as a resource for growing. So far, so good!

Greetings to all.. I am in the process of setting up a closet. This is my first grow and my first task was to determine what I would get for temperature and humidity with my set up. My closet is 4'x5' with 7' ceilings. I am running a 1000w dimmable ballast system with a 6" air cooled hood. I...
