Hwy420's White Widow Grow

[hwy420]

Hi, I'm Hwy420.

This is a lifelong dream of mine. White Widow vegetated for 3 months in preparation for this room so I could be ready to take clones & execute when I received my equipment.

Clones taken 10/12. I believe they will be christmas buds.

Clones for the soil were taken 09/30 in preparation for organic grow contemplated due to my hesitation to put all my baskets in one aero unit.

Looks like i'm winning the battle against humidity.

I'm not going to really bother listing all of my equipment, I have a good picture of everything. I'll keep updated pictures. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Please no fighting or flaming. This is my first grow experience and I need all the help I can get. Any questions/advice?

I've been having some problems with my portable AC Unit not being able to keep temps below 80 degrees. It looks like I have to make the additional expense to buy a new Portable AC Unit. ;

I'll post some new pictures tonight, the Orgainic clones have taken OFF! And they will be ready to flower as soon as the new clones in the AeroFlw are finished rooting.

Here's just some picture updates; I've not seen any new roots in the aeroFro. Temps have seemed to drop outside and my AC Unit is working like a champ.

50% constant humidity. 75 degree maintained temp. I watered the fax farm soil clones.

Thanks for the kind words SOG; this is my first time, and i'm really glad you'll be watching the thread. I've learned a lot from you and i'm an advocate of doing things the right way the first time around. This is definately a SOG inspired grow. Thanks for your thread. Welcome to my journal!!

I love my CFM Meter, I knew if I wanted to exhaust my heat properly I would need to get CFM readings, especially when I implement the water chiller & iceboxes.

After my 9-5 job, and my new home maintaince, and girlfriend, and 6 yr old neice running around and carving pumpkins, this lifelong dream is seeming more like a 2nd job. LoL, I've always been the person to insist on having something to do constantly (i'm ADD off medicine), and seeing these white widows come alive calms me. I don't think anyone has ever been more obsessed with ganja than I have, maybe bob marley.

It's been 2 weeks since I've taken my cutlings and respectively since I first filled my resovoir up, so I changed the resovoir water out last night. It smelled like an aquarium big time. I only had to adjust the the PH One time down about 10 days after my first fill. Thankfully my RO water is coming out 6.0 on the dot, and 001 PPM's on the TDS meter. My tap water is 8.0 w/ 165 PPMs on the TDS meter. I'm about to add some peroxide to my 40 gallon res. I want to smack the next person on this forum that says they got rootz in 3 days; it's taken me 2 weeks minimum both times I've cloned to see real roots. My cloning medium are Rabid Rooters barely touching bubbly water at the bottom of the net cups surounded by hydroton stone. Everything (including mother) is on 18/6 right now.

The power went out for about an hour and turned back on during the middle of their cycle, should I be concerned of the light cycle interruption and hermie transofrmation stress?

The soil clones are 24 days old (since cutling) and have been fimmed/topped a few times each. They are growing so fast, I water them every 2-3 days with pure water, the soil is fxx farm orgainc with a little added black cow manure. I added 3 redworms each after a recent fishing trip. I'm trying to keep them as small/dense as possible so the hydro clones can finish rooting & veg for about a week before i flip both 600W's to 12/12.

Any recommendations/questions?

10/29/2009 Update; Not much has changed. Still waiting for the Aero clones to root & veg a little before I flip all lights to 12/12. I missed out so much not having a 36 site Aero cloner, 70$ for a DIY Cloner Here and they would have rooted so much sooner and be ready to flower by now. I'm taking larger clones next time. So I guess i'll be switching my lights to 12/12 in about 10-12 days, maybe by November 7th or so. I wanted them to be Christmas buds, but aparently they are turning into my new years resolution buds.

Any questions or recommendations?

Dam HWY looking great in there, was on your build thread glad you linked me here didnt want to miss this.

Hmmm i think you should try some Roots Excelurator in your cloner you will not have to wait as long. There are other companys out there so might want to read into it but

Off to a great start man keep it up i will be watching.

 

[hunt4pot1]

Looks good bro. Nice grow. Just like HUlK said, if you didn't link it from your first post I wound have missed it too.. I am glad you did, I will be here for the chop!

 

[grodrowithme]

Awesome, thanks for the kind words. I've taken notice of your posts around the forum, it's kinda hard to miss yo bangin ass avatar. I wanted to finish the building room out, and I ran out of funds pretty quickly and the sheetrock work turned out seemlingly twice the amount it seemed to be, lots of frustration and dirtyness in my house building that room in; Yeah, I got paranoid of some BS rep that I got from a forum troll or something and I got paranoid when I was stoned and deleted all my albums which included my room build in project pictures. I lost about 20 lbs building that room in hard work & sweat. lol

I failed miserably in rooting these clones in a timely manner. It looks like my harvest will be well into mid january at this rate these clones are rooting/growing. Some still aren't showing roots in the very bottom. But i've got some plans very soon to change all that. I'll update then.

Looks good bro. Nice grow. Just like HUlK said, if you didn't link it from your first post I wound have missed it too.. I am glad you did, I will be here for the chop!

Thank you good sire for joining the thread; I ended up going way over my budget for the room build in project. It was like sheetrock 101 lol. I fucked up a little too and it shows in the work, but this room is so fuckin airtight. My ac unit doesn't blow as hard when the latch is closed. I ended up having my parents over this evening for Haloween. My dad has very keen observation and analyzes everything so much, he's very nosy and was always really really strict on me growing up. I got out of the shower and ran upstairs, and he was in my bonus room, he was within 5 feet of this G room and he had no idea or clue it was there.

hell yea looking great bro. i like that cenntinal controler thats what i got to get next

lol well it's not doing any good without a CO2 tank. I've spent the 700$ + for the controller and the electrical regulator, and I haven't spent the 30$ for the CO2 tank. My friend told me he bought me a CO2 tank, but I have yet to see it. I finally got my Portable AC Unit changed out with a new one. It's 14,000BTU's and has taken a lot of stress off my back. It has temps down to 71 degrees constantly. The best price I found for the Sentinel is on ebay.

11/01/2009 Update

Hey everyone; Here's a little image update and a high res pictures to enjoy. I postered it on my wall in my grow room.

Lights: 18/6
Humidity: 40-60%
Air Temps: 70-78 F
Res Temp: 73.4 F
Res PPM/TDS: 250 PPM's
Res PH: 6.0
Last Res Change: 10/29/09
Next Res Change: 11/05/09

My resovoir has remained to smell like an aquarium, but I fear it has been due to the high temperature i've been experiencing with my broke AC Unit, but I've now got it replaced with a 14K BTU AC Unit.

Do my roots look okay? I'm really concerned about my clones not rooting; It has been 3 weeks since I took my cutlings, and some don't show many roots at all.

I like the set up, and the roots look nice and healthy. I must say it looks like you might be over fertilizing the plants. The new growth and fan leaves should be reaching for the light, not curling down in pic 15. The dark green veins and burnt tips are signs of too much nitrogen. The leaves don't look like they have any stems, and the new growth seems to be I only comment because i've killed many plants by over feeding/over watering. Just my opinion, and if they're still growing then they are still alive. Don't mean to be a grump, and keep up the good work.
Ask yourself this question: Are they as big as you thought they'd be? Are they growing as fast as you had thought? Overfeeding will look like stunted growth.

Cool thanks for the input, The soil is mainly fx farm and a few pots have some added black cow, would that cause it to be overfertilized? I've watered them about 5 times so far, every 3-4 days, and a couple of times had some extra bloom nutes already mixed that I added. I also don't think I water them enough, it's such a bitch so I let the soil get really dry first. I'm gonna go water them now with pure water and flush a little bit. I have been trying my best to keep them short & bushy as much as possible by fimming because I don't want them to get too big to not be able to flower all of them under the single 600W. I thought I was going to start flowering them a long time before this. They always seem to look lots better after I water. I'll update with another picture in just a little bit after lights flip on. I want to post some pictures of the 'stealthiness' of this room.
