Get some 2 or 3 gallon grow bags, they doubled the amount of plants I can fit in my closet and only cost about $3.50 for a bag of 10. I got a bunch of those trays for the domes and can fit 3 in each. So i can fit 6 plants under my 2ft flouro lights in my veggy closet and 9 in my flowering closet (400w hps)
My local hydro store will just give them to me if I ask lol

Right on. I'm a grow bag user myself. They work just like pots... only cheaper

Thanks for the tip. I already have lots of garden pots of various sizes that I will likely use but I've heard from several reliable sources that as long as you pack the soil pretty good they do very well

Day 33

IT'S A GIRL!!!! I have female preflowers on WB2 and the DP. There may be some on WB1 as well but they are really small. They were all fem seeds but it is still really nice to see. I will wait a week and confirm but I'm pretty certain

79F 55% RH
Watered yesterday so nothing today. DP is not nearly as thirsty as the WB are. I will likely not give water to DP tomorrow as she still has plenty of water weight. WB will get a bumped up feed (15ml/gal + epsom) tomorrow....

PICS!

Day 34

3 for 3 Girls

71-82F 38-62% RH
Fed with 1000PPM GrowBig today. No Epsom this time.

Runoff:

Wb1 - 1260
WB2 - 1240

These are right where I want it More good growth today. There is a little burn on the previously damaged leaves but I am not concerned as they are rapidly being replaced by new side growth. Camera batteries are dead. Off to get more. Pics in awhile...

Day 35

80F 50% RH

WOW. I have lots of new side growth. 4 or 5 new shoots on each plant! The new shoots are growing with a staggered pattern rather than paired leaf sets. Further evidence of the maturity of my ladies.

There is some very minor burn on just a couple of tips so I will give straight water tomorrow and go on a feed water feed schedule after that. Flush if I get near the 1500 PPM mark.

Pics are of the new side growth today.

Day 36

81F 50% RH
Gave plain water + epsom today.

When the lights came on today WB2 was droopy from lack of water. After only 2 days! That was my queue to transplant. They are all now in 3-qt, 8" pots from the 6" they were in before. These will be perm homes for moms. All 3 had good root balls with no signs of discoloring. The new pots have a lip on the top so I took the opportunity to LST again. It took awhile but my side growth is very good now and with the LST to the tops that will only get better. I took a couple pics but they are total crap. I will see if I can get better ones here in a few.

Actually of the 2 strains I have going the WB is by far the toughest and least sensitive to changes. The Durban Poison I am growing is the picky little whore. What I can say is that these WB use LOTS of MG. Most strains do but I am having a hard time giving them enough MG to keep the leaves from yellowing in the margins. I am afraid I will burn them with Epsom if I give it what they seem to want. LOL

Day 37
79F 55%RH
Fed with 800PPM

Runoff was about 1450 for WB and 1150 for DP. Pretty high. If I see any signs of burn I will flush. Next 2 watering cycles will be PH'd water. Pics tomorrow....

How long until you flower, doog? It gets so much easier in flower. No more worry about N burn because flower nutes are very low N.
