DWC Grow Journal White Widow Feminised/Auto First Grow

You will need veg nutes, no matter what is in your water, or what your father says. The plants have their own stored food source for now but in another few days they will start showing signs of needing nutes. Then we get to ph, ph affects nutrient uptake via the roots. Without nutes in the water there is no need for adjusting ph.

I have been feeding the girls general hydroponics nutrients for a little over two weeks now. Today is actually day 31. Did you read an older post? Thanks for feedback!!

Also, the girls are both flowering now.

Also, just to clarify with everyone...since these little girls are both auto-flowering, I am going to want to leave that big hps on around the clock, correct?

thanks again

I see a lot of people that kick back to 18/6 when flowering auto's, but I don't know if it helps them along the way or what

Yeah, I have seen that quite a bit of people that have said they have seen benefits from switching to 18/6 but others have said with an autoflowering plant, the more light, the better. Maybe everyone has their own method, I just have a lot of questions since this is my first successful dwc.

Oops. I followed your link and didnt notice it was more than 1 page.

I figured that might have been what happened. We're you able to see the progress so far?

just wait. when your plant is done your gona have roots lookin like this. This was a C99 i vegged for 52 days, flower period 52 days. The last time I looked at the roots on this girl was probably day 15 of veg. Otherwise I never pulled her out of the bucket. I did change the water every night for her though just to make sure I didn't get any root slime. Healthy roots is the key.


Air stones.. what air stones. lol, i had two 4 inch air stones coming from the main air line. Can't even see them.
Notice how the roots form to any shape. Interestingly enough the hole on the side of the root mass is where my level indicator tube was. And on the bottom of my 3G DWC I had a drain tube. which you can see in the 3rd pic it completely formed to the fitting and actually grew down the tube.. Awesome stuff man. Keep the roots healthy and you'll have a happy plant.

This thread is soooo wierd...cos it is exactly like my plant! I also have an Auto in DWC under 400W HPS and it is 29 Days old 24/0 lights on. looks a bit bigger than yours but can also see the pistols I think (this my first grow too) Also using the same nutes as you.....its like watching myself grow them!

I have a question and Im sure you have the same question in mine....but when do I :

A) Swap over to MH for flowering? I can see it is showing its sex but no flowers. So should I change to MH when I see buds?
B) When should I change to flowering nutes? im running full strength veg nutes and my PPM reader is showing 950ppm. PH 5.6


Great journal dude

I definitely wouldn't put it under the MH as it starts to flower. Leave it under the HPS

Yeah I was going to leave it under the hps, no doubt. I have went ahead and moved on to flowering them. I figured that they needed SOME darkness, so they are receiving 20-4 right now. Thanks!

Yo smokee

thanks for the link.

Looking great man, Subbed!

I really want to see how your whole process turns out.

good luck on ur 20/4. (i know you will b fine)

and i hope to see you around bro!
GL

ill b back!

Hey guys!! Probably getting just a tiny bit ahead of myself but check out the setup I've got for the next veg cycle!! Hope you guys like it!!! Abby and Maddie, my other two girls are doing WONDERFUL!! Ill have some more pictures tomorrow after I change the buckets to give you guys an update. They both have big white pistils and I suspect to see some beautiful flowers very soon


advice and comments appreciated!!!

Thanks

smokee

And thanks coma! Yeah I really only went with the 20/4 because I've gotten a little accustomed to giving them so much light and did NOT want to shock them @ only 18hrs of daylight. I mean if it weren't for everyone posting grow journals and advice I certainly would have no idea what I was doing. Can't wait to start seeing significant buds on these girls. Not exactly sure how the time line goes. Hopefully soon

Hey guys, wanted to say happy early- 4/20 to everybody keeping up with this journal and everyone else as well. Changing buckets out tomorrow and ACTUALLY adding some more pictures of the two girls. They have just recently finished their first week of flowering! Check back tomorrow for updates!

Also, does anyone know how tall or wide my girls should be at this stage? We are approaching day 40 from seed.

Today is day 39!!! Tomorrow morning will be 40, and around 10 days of flowering.







responses and advice appreciated!!!

thanks

smokee

Flowering like crazy, more pics in a couple days!!


how does everything look guys??

Really good. I'm super jelly. My buckets have serious pH issues and slime they're getting over and locked out, stressed, etc. Started 6 seeds in soil just because I'm tired of it and will probably grow those out and ditch the whole DWC thing if these two don't pick up soon.
