New Grower Raoul-Duke's Second Grow: DP Auto White Widow

[Raoul Duke]

Well the first grow was so much fun I thought I'd do another, then another, then another... you get the idea.

So we're going to be doing some different things this grow. Let's get the technical stuff out of the way.

Beans: one Dutch Passion White Widow Auto Fem
Light: Mars II 400 at 18/6
Medium: Pro-Mix BX with added Growstones
Pot size: 3 gal
Tent: 2x2x4
Fans: one 4" extraction fan, one 4" ossilating fan, one 6" ossilating fan, (may add a computer fan to pull outside air over light if temps get too hot, we'll see)
Nutrients: (All Botanicare) Pure Blend Pro Grow, Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil, Hydroguard, Silica Blast, Hydroplex, Liquid Karma, and Cal Mag - couldn't find rhizo blast so I'm going to use the GH Rapid Start
Germination: coco coir pellets in humidity dome with water retention mat.

I'm sure I missed something but let's get this started!

Here's our coir pellet before hydrating

Here it is hydrated (Me too!)

I know you can't see it, but trust me I planted it!

And here we are in our little home

​

So the tray is filled with water and the water retention mat is supposed to pull water up to the coir pellet. Seems to be working... I think. I planted on Saturday, haven't seen anything yet. The dome is inside the tent just chilling. Temps are between 19 and 30ish celcius, and 55-70 RH inside the dome depending on whatever the hell the weather outside decides to do. It looks funny just having one pellet in a 35 pellet dome but whatever, I plan to expand one day!

Well I think that's it for now, will update again when we have lift off.

​

Cheers,
Duke

Oh man, expecting some nice things from you this grow.
Can only see you getting better at this.
So you topping this time round, or still going to hold off on a topping.
I topped my girl yesterday (18 days old)

See I knew I forgot something... Yes, topping and LST is definitely happening! I'm thinking 4th node hopefully around 2-3 weeks, then start tying her down!

Absolutely, last grow my tallest plant was about 5 inches away from the light (give or take), I'm only doing one plant this grow so I plan to use as much horizontal space as I can.
