Autos, bubblelicious, white dwarf, and la diva!!!

Hello RIU. Newbie here starting my first grow. Well actually, I started it about a month ago. I am growing 3 Bubblicious Autos, 2 La Diva Autos, and 1 White Dwarf. They are 3.5 weeks old now, they will be four weeks on Saturday. They are growing very well and all of them started showing sex before they were three weeks old, ALL FEMALES! :razz: I did lose two seeds during germing though, one white dwarf and one Diva, I originally wanted to grow eight. I took some still pictures of them on their three week bday with my video camera, need to get more batteries for my digital camera. I will download them to my computer and post them here. I will run this journal to its completition for any one that is interested in these strands. Peace and Luck, BB34. :weed:

This is the White Dwarf. She started out the biggest but the Diva's are catching up and the bubbelicious have blown past her now.

Here are a few of my La Divas. They are about two days behind the others because they took longer to pop but the are rocking along now!

These are the Bubblelicious. They have exploded in the last couple of days since the pictures were taking. Their sativa phenos are really coming out, they are getting very "branchy" and are covered in tiny bud sites.

I have included these shots for size comparison purposes. The green Bic lighter is standard size. This is my first time growing, but from my research and others grow journals, these seem to be a very good size for being autos and only 21 days old from seed. Any comments, help, or otherwise is greaty appreciated. Take care. Peace and Luck, BB34

Nice set up man!!! i answered ur question on my page... what lights are you using, and is that a tent? nice set up!! dont look too newb at all lol compared to my ghetto boxes lol looking good nice and bushy!!!!!
 
Thanks bruno :D I have done a lot of research before I started. I figured if I was going to do it I wanted to do it right. I don't want to grow a lot of plants, just a few really good quality ones. Anyway, yeah it's a tent. 2'x4'x5'. I was hoping to do 8 plants in it but I lost two during germ and seedling stage, one at each point, so I am going with the six survivors. Thank God they were all female. For lights I am running HID. I started them right off from sprout to seedling and then into their "veg" cycle (the first three weeks) all under a Sunmaster 400 watt MH with digital ballast. Then on their three week bday (the day these pictures were shot) I switched them to a Hortilux 400 watt HPS. The tent has a 4" inline duct fan for fresh air intake and a 4" squirrel cage fan pulling air through a CAN 2600 for exhaust and odor control (connected to a digital fan controller running at 95cfm, with a 40 foot cubed space the air is completely exchanged about 2.5 times per minute.) I just put another 7in fan in the interior just help keep temps down and aid in circulation and trunk and branch strengthening. My digital humidity and temp gauge should be here Saturday so I will be putting that in to help assure and track my environment. I started them in 1/2 gallon grow bags and at the two week mark, right as the showed preflowering fems, I transplanted them into their final 2 gallon grow bags. The are growing like crazy and getting bud sites all over the place. The growth and change alone just in the last few days has been amazing. I am sure by Saturday, the picture differences will be even more impressive. I have noticed a little nute burn so I have backed off and am just using reverse osmosis water for them. I will start back up on their feeding schedule at 25% on Saturday and start slowly working back up. Thanks for taking the time to post in my journal bro.

where did you get the tent and how much around invest? it looks like the insulation on those 'cooler bags' ppl use nowadays at grocery stores, the filter really works well? i wanted to get something to filter my sent as well. nice ventilation set up I just have a small computer fan on each side lol my next will be something like what you did. this stuff is perfect for me im doing hvac in school right now lol humidity aif flow calculations and all.what could the burn be from? acidity ?

Tents are mad easy to find. Just go online. Ebay, Amazon, and tons of online stores all carry them. You can expect to pay between $100 to $150 for a decent tent, some even less. Just decided what size you want and then search, you will be surprised how many options there are. The CAN filter is definitely worth it, if odor is a concern there is no substitute. The burn on the leaves is definitely over nuting. Common dumb newbie mistake and I am guilty of it. It is human error all the way. They are just about to turn four weeks old at midnight. I will take update pics and get them posted up in the morning.
 
I wanted to do a size comparison but the green bic lighter just got lost in the foliage now, so I took measurements.

The 1st Bubble (back left in group shot) is 12" high and 12" at it's widest. The 2nd Bubble (back middle in group shot) is 13" high and 12.5" at it's widest. The 3rd Bubble (back right in group shot) is 11" high and 10" at it's widest. The 1st Diva (front left in group shot) is 9" high and 12" at its widest. The 2nd Diva (front middle of group shot) is 8.5" high and 12" at its widest. The White Dwarf (left front in group shot) is 7" high and 11" at its widest. I think these are pretty acceptable numbers for autos, especially for being only 4 weeks old. I think they are doing fairly well. Any input, feedback, or comments are appreciated.
 
Your plants are monsters, amazing gro, what are you giving them as nutrients?
Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice Grow and Bloom, Wet Betty Organic, Nirvana, and Bud Factor X, all organic grow in Fox Farm Soil (50% Ocean Forest and 50% Light Warrior). Under 400w MH then HPS. That's it. Sorry I haven't been around the last couple of weeks but I was going into finals. Finally done with that and I have a month off! :) Drying and curing the White Dwarf now, she should give about 1.5 oz's. Two of the bubbles will get pulled next Sat and then the two Diva's and the last bubble I will cut on the 23rd. I am estimating anywhere from 8 to 12 oz's off of 6 autos, so I am pleased with that. Averaging 2 zips a plant on autos will definitely make me happy.
