Rdrose's SpeedQueen/WW indoor grow....let's see how this goes!

[Rdrose]

Thanks BFOK and s21 for those charts...Great information!!

I had originally planned to have my grow room finished by yesterday, but alas, 'life' gets in the way sometimes..you know how that goes!

I did take some pics of my babies today, hopefully the quality isn't too bad. All of these pics are of the seedlings at 7 days after popping out of the soil...The first one is of the my 4 SpeedQueen babies, the middle one is both the WW (left) and SQ (right) under their CFL's, the last one is of a WW close up.

I should have my FF nutrients by Saturday, and should also have them inside their new home by then too. :woohoo:

Hello Rd,
Good to see your grow. I harvested one of my WW at 50 days with plenty of amber. How long do you plan on veg and are you using the HPS for veg? You have everything looking good.

 

[Pot Belly]

Hey Rdrose - looking great! Those babies are drinking up that extra sun your giving them. Good move! It won't be very long and they'll be ready for your new 400 watt HPS light.

Have you plugged it in and seen how bright that is in your growspace? Can't wait for more to come...........Great so far.

PB

Hi PB! Thanks...and yes they are enjoying their extra 'sun'...lol! I haven't plugged in the HPS yet , yesterday I took it out of the box and put the reflector together...OMG, that ballast IS heavy!! I finished painting the grow space. Got the thermo-hygrometer and the 15 amp timer yesterday. Hubby is cutting me a 3 x 3 piece of plywood to put on the floor this morning...

Screwdriver, I saw your harvest and I'm glad you're gonna give little Ruth a shot of Superthrive! I'm not sure how long I'm gonna veg, but I do want to keep the ladies on the short side, especially the WW, I know how tall they can get!

Thanks BFOK and Dank for stopping in!

Put some string to them RD if you want you can start now. I started at like a week and started tieing them down. I find its better to do it while the stem is still young and not hard and it will also promote side growth wich will give you clones and many more ww and sq to work with. good way to find the sex of each plant also

 

[DankCloset]

yeah, flower a clone an try and keep those as mothers, thats what iam doing
i just need to get my damned 250watt hps wired

 

[Rdrose]

BFOK, I was planning on doing some LST w/these ladies, but shouldn't I have them in their permanent pots before I start bending them?

And re: clones, I understand that I can put them into flower and learn the sex of that plant sooner...but wouldn't I need separate veg and flower spaces for that? I am not really clear on how to keep a 'mother' plant and would the babies I am now growing from seed be the mothers and I would just take clones from them to grow for buds?

I just don't think I am set up for that type of situation...now maybe I'm not thinking outside the box enough to see the possibilities here, but it seems to me that using a male plant to get pollen and pollinating a branch or two on the females to get some seeds would be a better option for me.

I gave the 4 WW babies a drop of Superthrive in their water approx 36 hours ago...figured if it damaged them, I have plenty more seeds to start some again... ANYWAY...I am amazed at their response... here are a couple pics of the WW (the 2 pics on the left) along with a 2 pics of SQ (on the right) for comparison...I realize they grow quickly at this stage, (and I may just be a proud 'mom' )but, those small center leaves are new since late yesterday afternoon!!

I am already noticing the differences in the types of plant/leaf structure between the two...

 

[Pot Belly]

Beautiful.......

If you don't have a separate veg room, it would be tough to grow a mother, unless you grow her outside. But this is the wrong time of year if you're in the Northern Hemisphere.....Especially if it's cold where you are.

 

[Growdude]

Nice healthy seedlings there rose.

 

[DankCloset]

just flower one clone out in a closet with one or 2 cfl's if its female u can always put it back in the chamber.. no harm no foul, even if the clone dies....at least u know its sex


p.s. edit if they start lookin like crap i start making brownies lol....

Nice little babies Rdrose, thanks again for the map in my post. I cant wait to start some more plants. But, like i told the guy at the hydro shop, "i can only smoke so many tomatoes, even tho i love tomatoes". I want to watch your grow so i am signing up for your thread.
good growing,
tcbud
check bombapuffa, he starts his LST when they are that size if i am not mistaken. I am gonna try a whole plant next spring doing the LST. I tried just one stem this year and it was the largest bud on that plant.

Thanks for stopping by tcb!

I know you're right that I could start LST now, but thinking it would be good to wait til they are in their permanent pots. But you never know...I could change my mind!:hubba:

Hey Tom, thanks for stopping by...

The two pics on the right are a strain called SpeedQueen. Here is a link to the description: http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18268

The other two are White Widow.

White Widow ...This masterpiece has set the standard for the “White” strains. Our White Widow grows tall with delicate arms. Buds are moderately compact in order to contain the copious amounts of resin. Leaning on the sativa side, the buzz is powerful yet energetic and very social.​

They're approx 11 days old from popping their heads out of soil.

Crazy Vanc. guy, sounds like you have a lot of good info re: construction, etc!!

The Blueberry X Grape Kush is the Bud Pic of the Month for November, belonging to Fing_57...the pic is at the top of each page. I wish it was mine!! :hubba:
