G13 WW/Quicksilver 1000watt HPS *Feminized*

Just received 5 Feminized G13 White Widow and 1 Feminized Quicksilver seeds from Attitude. Filled 6 4" pots from walmart with soil and dropped em all in. They are not in the pictures yet. I took these pictures before I put them in there. The seeds havnt sprouted yet so I will take my next pictures when that happens. Im going to try to take a picture once a day and update weekly.

Grow area is 6ft wide X 6ft tall X 40" deep. I am using a 1000watt HPS light set-up. I have 2 4" intakes. One directly from outside, one from in the shed. I am using a Stanley Blower Fan for exhaust and cool tube. I have 1 24"? oscilating fan for air circulation along with a duct fan. I am using a satelite temperature reader. Currently its sitting at 25.8C which Im positive is 78.4F. Just below the max high point we want. Perfect! Blower and oscilating fans are each on setting 2 of 3.

I currently am not using any type of air filter but plan on making a custom one for when they all start flowering! I have atttached pictures of my grow area. The white is all just some laminate they were going to throw away at work. Beats painting!

do you think youll be able to cos she flowers on time schedule not amount of light, cos i was thinking the same . 6/8 veg could get a bit out of control in an indoor garden

well either way im going 12/12 at 3 weeks for the WW. If she doesnt flower then she doesnt flower. ill just keep trimming it and let it do its thing.

So this morning I noticed a high temperature spike. good thing my babies havnt sprouted yet. The temperature was around 35C again!!!! I went in to investigate and it turns out my exhaust hose had come loose somehow. So I duct taped it all back together again and the temp went down.

Im going to have to check my timer later as for some reason the lights didnt go off when they were supposed to. Mines digital and has batteries in it in case the power goes out which seems to happen in my area lots.

Temps at 22.6C right now with lights out. Cant wait for my first sprouts to show!!!

get a contacter box from your local grow shop it will stop the timer breaking down inside and leaving your lights on when their not supposed to be

lookin good man, as you know i got 1 hermi(so far) out of my 3 Fem.plants, but im still not convinced that 3 weeks is to early to flower and will hermi a plant(via stress or whatever)but i will prolly flower 4 weeks in from now on(expecially with Femd seeds) to be safe....anyways good luck with that tasty widow brother:peace::joint:

did some more diggin in the quicksilver pot and saw a sprout shotting up. its about another 1/4" from the surface!! WOOT! hopefully my WW girls are doing the same!

Bubloni, I dont think forcing flower makes them go hermie. I think you get what you get. You and I also have higher then normal temperatures. Your lucky you get so many females actually. I get none with temps close to yours lol. But they do say you should wait until the branches alternate instead of growing 2 at once opposite each other. I might wait for that. I have the room so why not right? both my neighbours know what im doing and dont care so i dont think smell is going to be a problem anymore! i may not have to hook up my filter! :D

yea temps are kinda high but lots of fresh air flow, so i really dont think there being effected, my tent sits at about 86-87 + or - a few degree..i really cant see those temps causeing any real stress or damage, but as for your males, you never had fem seeds so i would just call that shitty luck, this time around ALL will show to be female but might hemi later into flower, this is what iv been noticing with femd seeds...but i dunno im still learning too...just remember to clone and label all of your plants and later into flower find your sexy momma and keep that clone:peace::joint:

1 Widow has shown through the soil now. Im positive the Quicksilver is finished. Now I am only going to wait another day or 2 for the other 4 widows. Sigh... Day 5 since dropped into the dirt.

Ok so only 1 WW seed has come up... and of course this is just my luck. I looked at it this morning and half of one of the starter leaves is missing... and it almost looks like it wants to die. I think I can see the first set of real leaves, Hopefully those come up during lights out and it lives. If it lives I will veg it and clone it.

I contacted Attitude about my seeds. Has anyone done this before? Their site says they wont respond to any emails regarding growing or germination. Sigh.

I started germing my last 4 5-Star seeds from vancouver seed bank. all of my last ones were males. I need to grow something though. I will update with a picture of my struggler later. gotta go to work now. pce.

damn bro thats a bummer...i have never had a problem with attitude seeds sprouting(only free shit)....i would water them and let them chill for a while longer before you give up on em, or just pull em out of the dirt and put them in a cup with a little water in the bottom, cover and put in a dark place so they can soak and germ./crack open, then just place in dirt with like 1/2" of soil over them.....i remember seeing a grow with a plant that was like 2 mths old and it had a seedling start sprouting in the same pot, i guess the grower planted a couple seeds in each pot....but my point is you dont know if its a bum seed or just hasent cracked, thats why i dont just drop a seed into dirt anymore, i like to know if its a good seed or not so im not diggin them up to find out(sometimes i still do if theyr takeing to long to sprout)...:joint:

i ended up emptying the pots and sifting through the dirt in each one. turns out they germd but couldnt find their way to the surface... they all dies with about an inch of growth under the dirt :(

when the 1 came up it was mangled. i think they didnt like my soil. im ordering some more seeds tonight. im going to germ these ones in paper towel and then plant them. maybe it will work out better.
