Day 25 since sprouting
Temps: 70 Day, 62 Night
Watering: None


My temps have been a bit low during past few days thanks to the 400CFM...but it's a bit too low...I want to keep it around 74 during the day, so my brother was nice enough to make me one of these:



It has 3 settings and I am currently testing it and it seems like it's working just fine. I connect the fan to the power strip, and that power strip connects to a surge protector.

The ladies are looking very healthy and the fan leaves on the WW's are starting to get big





I am watering them in a couple of days with 1/4 tsp Grow Big and 2tsp Big Bloom.

Happy New Years!

It's been one month since they have sprouted. So far, so good. They have been growing pretty fast. The WW fan leaves are so huge compared to the KB's. Pics below:






The fan leaf is 6 inches x 5 inches.











The tallest plant is 7.5 inches, the smallest is 5 inches tall. They have been staying nice and short for the most part.

Impressive growth...the WW's have very dense foliage, but are staying relativly short. The KB's are short and stocky, except for one of them..I might have to FIM her in a few days as she is getting taller than the WW's!

I experienced some leaf "canoeing" on the WW's...no over watering but I am suspecting that it's a reaction to the low humidity (cupping to conserve moisture), so I am going to raise the humidity a bit with my humidifier. I had the same problem when I previously grew out these ladies, so I am not too worried...I will let them do their thing!

Here is a pic of the KB's inter node growth...once again very short!


The WW's are on the bottom


Here are the height measurements I took this morning:

WW4: 9''
WW5: 9''
WW2: 8.5''

KB1: 9''
KB3: 7''
KB4: 6.5''

On another note, my light did not turn on this morning...the MH bulb went bad. I put in the HPS and waited until 7AM to pick up a brand new MH...they are happy once again. Till next time!

Watering: None since last update


They have grown a few inches, but most of the growth is focused on the internodes at the moment..the light is currently 9 inches from the top canopy.



Kushberrys in the front, WW's in the back. The KB that I FIMd (KB 1), is starting to grow shoots. There are two extra WW's in the very back..those are the ones I have been experimenting on and not paying much attention to...I am going to let them grow out and they will be used for Budder.

Internode Growth


Until next time.

These plants make the 3 gallon pots (9.5inch x 9.5inch) look small! The fan leaves on the WW's are 7 inches long, and about 6 inches wide.

Messy - I have a question for you. Why did you decide to go with such a huge amount of CFMs? I was just reading your Green House WW grow and your temps didn't exceed the low 80s. I'll agree that having the optimal temperature is always the goal, but isn't that a bit overkill?! Would you have rather purchased a cheaper fan?

Temps did exceed 85+ at times and that was because I was growing around this time a year..I also had to keep the AC on in the room next to where the grow was to keep the temps decent towards the march-april months with the door open. The grow I did after the WW was during summer (Jack Herer + Power Kush), and there was no way I could keep temps below 85 since we had 100+ degree temps outside, so I purchased a cool-tube and was given the 400cfm fan for free (traded some beans for it). I also got the carbon filter for free as well, so I didn't really spend any money.

Now I have the fan on a speed controller where I can lower the CFMs and have a constant temperature. Rigth now my temps do not go above ~73/74.

I put in a window unit in the room where the closet it at. Since I put in the fan/cool tube setup, I have not needed the ac...even in summer

Day 12 Flower
Temps: 75 Day, 66 Night
Watering: 1/4 tsp Tiger Bloom, 2 TSP Big Bloom

I had to tie down another KB because it was getting too tall. The WW's have very dense/thick foliage...
