White Widow Grow Journal - 2 60 Watt Led - Single Plant Stealth Grow

[AirBud93]

I think you may be right regarding the "actual watts". However I may still be in the clear or only need one more comparable bulb. Check out this article.

But on the packaging it says "wattage used" - so wouldn't that mean the true watts is still 60? TI could use some clarification.

Well i use 320w led for 3 plants, those calculations seem very optimistic to me, if you scrog and have an even canopy maybe 30w divided equally for one plant could be enough (i am pretty sure it wont be tho), if you did a space bucket kind of grow and added one or two more bulbs maybe then you could get away with it too. But your light setup is not going to get you to flowering imo, if i am wrong please correct me people i am not familiar with these lights. But the chart in that site seems way to optimistic to me, can a 320w led flower 10 plants in a setup of 10 square foot?

I don’t really know if someone can clear that up it would be very nice.

Monster, appreciate the continued feedback. I was at HD today with my girl and was debating on pots lol, should have gone with plastic. But we both love all types of plants so figure we will repurpose.

How will the nutes need to change from .21 - .11 - .16 for flowering? I'd like to prepare a head of time and get some ocean fox, but no idea on how to handle nutes. Honestly that is why I'm digging the MG soil, not too strong and the lady is eating it all up.

Run the mg soil. It will feed for at least a month. They say 3 or 4 months but they aren’t planning on water every day.so depending when you flip you’ll just have to bump p and k All I ran with the mg for bloom on this plant was bud blood which is 0-10-6. And calimagic which is 1-0-0.abd bud candy too but that

k nothing else. And I still had some nitrogen left at the end.

You can see still dark green. Leaves were dark at end of 10 weeks still when trichs were amber.

Damn those are some beautiful buds, incredible work sir. If my buds come out half as big on this first grow I would be on cloud nine. Thanks for the advice, I'm thinkin I will try to mirror your process since it is proven to work. What strain did you grow?

And flowering requires more light than veg. More intensity. I got about 550 true watts led

that was green crack from crop king seeds. That was also first grow. I’m only on 3rd grow now. But better soil does make difference. I ran roots organics soil this time and added mykos. Plants doing better than that. But just starting flower now. That plant was under t5 with a cheap Walmart 600w led.

Just quick tip use flexible plastic pots up until your final home. Home Depot has 1 gal for like 90 cents. When you transplant you can litterally turn upside down lightly press sides of pot and bottom and the whole thing come out clean into your hand. Drop in the new pot n done. No stress at all. I go rooted starter plug to 1 gal straight to 5. Never had any transplant issues

And yes your plant is good. The mg soil will give a good strong plant. You just don’t want any time release later on. You’re good though. Plant looks happy.

See just moved from 1s to 3s. No stress. I bought 3 gal thinking clones be ok to flower in them. I didn’t expect this in 3 weeks from cutting. Others were similar. One was real nice but it’s pain getting pic of roots in mid swap. The one clone was almost all white. Couldn’t see much dirt. That’s when I said imma take pic of next one which wasn’t as good.

You can see how cleanly they come out though.

Started a little Stress testing. We are around day 21 of veg. let me know what I’m doing right or wrong.

Using a small rubber tie from a loaf of bread to anchor down the main stem.

I did this because I noticed multiple bud spots growing off of the Main Stem, I assume because my lights have been so close.

UPDATE:

Apologies for the late reply.

My lady is now approximately 36 days into vegetation. Over the past 10 days I have trimmed the plant of any small growths without direct light. A few days ago I noticed that roots were growing out the bottom, which I was generally happy about because it means growth is solid. However it meant I waited a fews days too long before transplanting. I picked up a $6 plastic planter at the local hardware store, approx 5 gal pot but honestly not sure - just know its much bigger than old ceramic.

Transplanting went much smoother than initial move. I used a butter knife around the edge of the pot to dislodge and loosen the whole mass. After shaking off excess soil I gave a few hards taps to the bottom, leveraged my butter knife and "POP" it came right out.

As you will see from the pictures, the roots did start to bound and the very bottom, but nothing too serious. I transferred into new pot that already had some fresh soil (BTW still using Miracle Gro :) ).

Please share any comments, questions, or criticisms.

Thanks,
AB

Plant looks happy. Not the biggest plant but definately not the smallest.

Healthy. That’s what matters. It will hit a spurt n jump up height wise just focus getting that light to everything possible. I like em when they stay short n beef up then just take off.

After topping once more my lady now has 6 potential bud sites. She is loving her larger pot and has been growing quite strong the past week. All together she is approx 42-43 days old. I may have since what I believe to be pistils or a gender sign near a few of the nodes.

Is she ready to change to 12/12?

Thank you,

Hi everyone,

Day 50
Day 8 of Flowering

Looks like we are starting to see a little flower action going on, along with a ton of stretching.

Let me know what you think.

Hi guys,

Seeing some strong growth after using a little .10-.05.15 shake in ferts, i used two tablespoons and it has been fluffing up the budlets.

Hoping to hear what your thoughts are.
