New Grower White widow, Baby Boom and Afghan kush Ryder

[Jax]

Hi guys I started a Dutch Passion thread yet unfortunately I failed her, so thought I would start again here.
A cupboard crow with three different plants as above.
1200 watts of led lighting (Mars Hydro)
Dutch pro nutes hydro original (not auto)
8inch fan carbon filter set (Rhino)
3 x 12 litre containers only ever put in 8 litres max.
Air pumps and stones
And relevant PH meter and EC tester

Ok I'm looking to do a perpetual grow with the view to a crop monthly.

The White Widow is 42 days today and looking ok I think, she grew with two main branches and kinda looks like she split into two plants.
Here she is




Here is the Baby Boom at day 1 week



And the Afghan Kush Ryder is in her rock wool cube.

I hope you enjoy the ride, I am.

Hey peeps, what do you think about germination under my lights whilst another is in flower? I'm not sure if there will be any ill effects.
Thanks

What height are you going to set your light at ?? You might find the seedling reaching if you set it too high . :dance2:

Thanks for the quick response 1939bear she hasn't broken the rock wool yet at 40 inches my week old is at 30 and the flowering lady is 20 away from the light.

Ohh a baby Boom eh? I used one in our shotglass growing comp a while back.. I only harvested about 0.6 grams, but it seemed like it could have been quite a nice plant! I'm stoked to see someone grow it out for real! Good luck man!

Hi opi8250, I got her as a freebie she is still a baby yet what a beautiful bouquet I'm excited as well. Thanks for looking in bud.

Hi Jax, the WW looks very nice and the BB looks to be off to a good start.

The issue with germinating, vegging and blooming under the same light is humidity levels. For germination through veg you want the humidity to be around 60% but for blooming you want a lower humidity down around 25%

A 1200 watt LED is a lot of light for a small space. The WW looks like she could have done with a little more stretch by keeping her further away from the light but you are past the main veg stage with her now. Something to consider for the BB.

If you are not already using cal/mag in your water you might want to consider it. I don't see any symptoms of deficiency yet but it is the most common issue we see growing under LEDs.

You also might consider adding a little fan inside the grow space just to keep air moving around the blooming plants in particular. Plants as compact and dense as your WW can end up with mold issues due to high humidity levels trapped around the main stem or in the buds.

Hi oldster, thanks for checking in on my girls. I'm afraid that it's a lot of light for the space, the extraction unit is as bad 8inch rhino ducting. I'm future thinking and waiting for more space.
The humidity running at 35% currently. I'm gonna have to work out how to juggle this. What's your thoughts on a plastic dome over the Bb?
How did you pick up on the fan it broke 2 days ago lol I am in the middle of looking at it right now. Looking like I'm off shopping tomorrow.
I'm using calmag and silicon as extras.
I thought I'd studied hard yet didn't think of humidity variations.
Thanks
Jax

Jax, Old PC fans make for good and quiet air movers inside the grow space. Assuming they are 12 volt you can use an old 12 volt phone charger to power them.

35% RH is not too bad for bloom but I am guessing that is with lights on; do you know what is with lights off?

A dome can work to raise the humidity for the seedlings just make sure that there is still some air flow around the seedlings otherwise they will have a weak stems
