I bumped the light to 400 watts, and it's almost 2ft. above the babies. I just hope they do n't stretch much xD. The new order I figured I would save for next grows..but maybe I should start one
...Hm...
Second grow, White Widow X Big Bud Feminized. Hope you enjoy :D!

Hello 
. Hope everyone is having a great week so far.
So my order from Attitude, though a slight delay due to Easter, arrived yesterday. Check it out. Crush-proof tin, and a coffee mug that I ordered with it ^_^. Contents of the order are in a few posts on previous pages .
So below here is the current setup. I did in fact raise the light output to 400 Watts, along with raising the lights from ten inches at 100 watts to nearly 2 feet at 400 watts. All the stuff to the right are the spray bottle, new timer, nutrients, normal water, and the new nutrient solution. I started the seedlings off for the first couple of days with normal water. Then, I started them at 1/4 strength. Now the next solution that will be started tomorrow or the following day is at 1/2 strength. The nutrients indicate for hydroponics you add 2 TSP. for recirculating systems, and 1/2 to 1 TSP. For non recirculating systems. I hop back and forth between nutrients, and normal water, so now deficiencies or over feeding occurs. If any stretch begins, i'll lower the lights down, but it is looking great so far. The temperatures did rise a bit and did not exceed 81F, so I moved the fan to blow cool air in from the hallway and it is at a stable 75F .
Below here are all three of them. From left to right is #3, #1, and then #2 .
Well everyone, I hope you enjoy, and your input is always great. I think they are quite healthy, and everything is going perfect for the first grow in Coco. Not saying it will stay that way, but we can only hope . Thanks a lot everyone ^_^!!

hey I see you are growing the same seeds as me! Mine are a bit older and are being grow under CFL's. I'm noticing I have two slightly different genetics, I'm noticing that one is alot taller and branchy-er than the other. I will be interested to see how yours turn out.
I see you had problems with your first grow, I haven't had any problems with the CFL's.... yet, what went wrong with the lights in the first grow?
happy smoking. x

I actually didn't really have any problems. I just used really cheap CFL's. They were Energy Saver, and were 2 in a pack for $1.00 XD. Under five of those, I got a delicious half ounce of bud
.I am about to post a little update of my babies now. They are really nice and healthy for being so young still. Please if interested, subscribe and I'll do the same to your thread
. Did you get your seeds from Female Seeds? Through Attitude? 
Hope to hear back !

Well hello everyone . Time for an update on the grow .
So the past few days I have noticed my 400 watt bulb doing a slight flicker. Seemed as if it flickered down in output then back up, but very fast. And at random times at that. I called the hydro store, and notified the owner. He said since my bulb was above plants to just come in and grab one, and being the old one back some time this week. New bulb is perfect, and luckily it's not the ballast.
I made up a thing of nutrients at 1/2 strength. I am going to start them on that tonight after they have had fresh not food water this afternoon. I usually go with food in the early morning, early afternoon is normal water, late afternoon/early evening is nutrients again, and then late night before bed is normal water. I only feed them this often due to how fast Coco likes to dry up ..along with retaining the nutrients I put in it.
The light was at 400 watts and nearly two feet above the plants. I noticed growth was not as progressive as before, and I lowered the lights to sixteen inches. There is glass underneath the light, and there is no excessive heat on the back of my hand even when the light is a few inches from my hand. So, this height is doing much better than two feet.
So below here is number one. I noticed a slight defect, and it must be its genetics, but I am not seeing the same defect in either of the other two plants. Its true leaf, or the leaf with three petals, is missing one of it's small petals/leaves. I am sure it's nothing, as I have seen this in a plant before when on a 7 leaf it only had 6. Number on is currently nearing 4 inches in height.
Number two is below here. First leaf it ever had, not the oval ones, looks wrinkly sort of, but as you can see it's new leaves are perfect in color and health. The same is happening on number one's first leaf. Nearing four inches in height, just as number one is.
Below is the ugly duckling, also known as number three xD. Still very healthy, and it's obvious with the light being that high it has had a lack of light. Now that it is lower, as well as the plants rearranged, it's coming along great. At a whopping 1.5 inches tall .
And just for a few last photos, I took random shots for everyone to check out. Haha, the Mrs. is still getting sick of hearing about them. Oh I talk about them too much, but having to keep your mouth shut requires rambling to those who know..meaning her XD.
Everything seems like it's going right on track, and I am glad to have you all here with me. Everyone PLEASE have a SUPER AWESOME EVENTFUL 420!!!!!!!! I'll be smoking all day, as all of us will be !. I'll be on whenever you reply to the update, along with tomorrow to wish you all a happy 420 actually on 420 ;p. Thanks everyone ! Can;t wait for your input ^_^.

Ahhh I went for the 125w lights and they seem to be doing great.
I got mine from attitude, yeah they are feminised as well. I couldn't be bothered wasting time with possible males.
Mine are looking good as well, I'm noticing one is a bit more indica than the other. I'm interested to see how yours turns out, always interesting to see some one growing the same we could have a grow off! hahaha
I'm subbed up for the journey. x
I see you also noticed some mutant leaves in your WWxBB, I have some as well. It must just be the genetics of the attitude plants. One of my plants also grew a twin! I let it grow and luckily it hasn't caused any problems... yet

Well hello everyone . Hope everyone had a great holiday. Hell, I am still celebrating due to excess bud XD.
So I have an update for everyone. Everything is looking very good, except a couple minor issues.
Had to do an order through Attitude for 420, and then I said..why not two of them. I did two because I realized with the money I am spending, I will get a 420 promotion for each order . Below is what I ordered, along with its freebies ..
Order #1 - Paradise Seeds Sensi Star Feminized x5. Freebies are Afghan Kush Autoflower Feminized x1, La Diva Autoflower Feminized x1, Critical Kush Feminized x1, Pineapple Chunk Feminized x1, Blue Mammoth Autoflower Feminized x1..along with a Grinder, a Lanyard, and a pack of papers.
Order #2 - DNA Genetics Exodus Feminized x6 (The bud is so blue ;p). Freebies are Afghan Kush Autoflower Feminized x1, La Diva Autoflower Feminized x1, Critical Kush Feminized x1, Pineapple Chunk Feminized x1, Blue Mammoth Autoflower Feminized x1..along with a Grinder, a Lanyard, and a pack of papers.
I went to the hydro store on 420, and took the garbage flickering 400 Watt bulb back. I bought a grow dome for clones/starting seedlings, and the guy tossed in rooting hormone with it. I think my next grow I am germinating in these rather than a paper plate. They are the dirt style cubes.
View attachment 2133565
So I am unsure if the slight upward curl in these leaves are due to over watering, or too much heat. It most likely is the heat, as the light was at around 11 inches above the plants. Below here is number one. First nodes and growths at the branches, as well as it's first 5 leaves came in. Its new growth is also looking perfectly healthy. Not so much curling in this plant, and she is a tad bit over 5 inches.
Number Two is showing the most curling. I am not too sure if it is over watering, or if it is heat. The thing is though, I am growing in Cocotek. It dries out very easily, and 2 food and 2 non-food feedings a day seemed perfect. Should I cut down one watering? Maybe a non nutrient feeding, a nutrient feeding, then non nutrient feeding again? I raised the lights up as well, putting the 400 Watt lamp at 16 inches above the girls. The light was at 11 inches.
And for the final pictures, we have number three, or the ugly duckling. I feel horrible, as I thought I sprayed her with normal water a few days ago. If you look at her first true leaves, you will see nutrient burn. Completely my fault, and I am an idiot XD. But on the plus side, her fresh leaves of three are VERY healthy. This plant is only two inches tall, but is nearly caught up with the other two in leaves .
So maybe too much heat, too much water, or a bit of both. I most definitely won't mess up and spray the little one with nutrients. I was spraying the dirt anyways, and it managed to mist her too. On the plus side, I am sure you will all agree that the grow is healthy along with the new growths coming along, needed a bit of a light/watering adjustment, and there isn't much to worry about. At least, I hope you all agree XD.
How was everyone's holiday? What strains did you smoke? The Mrs. and I tackled Mango Kush, QrazieTrain, and some random fruity stuff XD.
Though this grow is no where near complete, I want to see what your opinions are on a next grow. Hopefully once you convince me of what type of grow it should be, that you will all continue to tag along/friend me. It's going to be all different strains in the next grow, and four plants. I am trying to decide if I should do four strains of normal females, or an entire female autoflower grow. I already have 1x WWxBB, 1x Green Bud, 4x Bubblegummer, 4x Pure AK, 1x TNT Kush, 1x Jamaican Dream, 1x Critical Mass 33, 1x Blue Lemon Thai, 1x Monster..all feminized and not autoflowering. These next orders have many strains that are auto, and that are not xD.
Thanks everyone, cant wait to hear back!!!

Hey Ocho, I like to keep my 400w at 21" above the plant. I don't like spraying stuff on my small seedling and I don't know about spraying nutes on them at all. I'm old so I like strains that are closer to the old strains, so the jamaican, the thai, the ak and kush. I see you like the flavor kind, so then do the others.lol ....rw

Yeah when any nutrients are sprayed onto a plant, the light causes burn since its not normal water. The light is currently at 16 inches. The plants only stretched their stem, and it seems to be far from wanting to stretch. So would raising up higher be for the best?roofwayne:7334231 said:

im sure if they havent stretched much yet they wont rapidly strecth from a few more inches, they r looking nice tho! congrats on the two orders seems like you did that the right way haha lots of free stuff

Yeah there isn't stretching but jow that the light is higher they are lightweight leaning the the right and left. They show that because they are not directly underneath the bulb, since my mistake in starting in three 5 gallon buckets, they want to lean. Maybe its fine?hattowndank:7336628 said:im sure if they havent stretched much yet they wont rapidly strecth from a few more inches, they r looking nice tho! congrats on the two orders seems like you did that the right way haha lots of free stuff
I wanted to LST one of them, so maybe a slight lean wont matter. I know i am topping. Your guys' opinion in LSTing?
Thanks hattown amd everyone :3!
