White Widow Growing

I got myself some White Widow seed and I am going to grow them under two 3000 lumen florescent standard spectrum lights. I just finished germating and they're in the dirt now. I am going to use this organic fert/food called "Blood Meal." I should have 3 weeks of time where I don't have to use any thanks to good soil.


Is there anything special I have to know about growing White Widow?

 

BLOODMEAL IS A GOOD QUICK RELEASE
fast source of nitrogen, but it doesnt really give it what it needs for the long-run.
that white widow is going to want more than just bloodmeal.
although bloodmeal is o.k.,
try using other organics also, peruvian seabirdguano- batguano (both veg and bloom types} and wormcastings will help a bunch.
good luck

 

Hmmmmmm Thanks. I'll look for that stuff.

 

2 out of 4 have suddenly come through the dirt over night. Nothing yesterday, inch to an inch and a half today. fun!

 

Have you ever tried dropping a few worms into the soil with your plant? I wonder if that would have any negative effect.

 

Plants love worms
I have my own wormbeds & make my own castings.
I find worms in the bottom of my growbags after harv. all the time.

 

I just grew some phenomenal widow from a greenhouse seed pheno that was some of the best weed ive ever came across. She does well even with low nutrients in soil as well as hydro. I used ocean forest mixed with some worm gold plus and had no problems whatsoever...averaged 3 oz a plant. hit me up if you have any questions

 

Hey Tie ...please tell me more about worms! How many do you use per gallon? Just good old earth worms? What are the main benifits?

 

yeah i was going to ask about the worms, how do they benefit the plant? would they help get air to the roots, by them digging all the little tunnels they do?

 

The worms come from eggs in my worm castings.
here is what you might want to get to make castings, im getting one soon as i harv.

here are links for organic study

Basically the worms make nutrients available to plants, by breaking down and eating the soil-earthworms or by eating kitchen waste-redworms.
besides all that, there are benificial microbes in the wormcastings, that also deliver nutes to the roots.
worms in the growbags at harvest means healthy soil.

 

Tiedye,dont forget casts supply on average 1% nitrogen as well as some P and K ,trace elements,enzymes,and microorganisms;leads to one thing, humus buddy!

 

What don't they do//
Thanks for chiming in mean, you have a way of putting tech. stuff like this better.
Im kinda backwoods L.O.L.

mean- standalone "kellog's patio plus" anythoughts?
I got a thread going it seems so worthy, let's put it to the test. Im switchin up soil soon.

 

Okay, here are some week two pics. 2 or 4 actually went into seedlings, so I only have 2 of them. After I dug them up to see if anything happened with the seeds of the failures, I realized I probably burried them too deep and they grew upside down. I need a better way for putting the things in the holes...slippery. (might I add that I know they are supposed to point a certain way, but I was kinda a fumble fingers that day.)

The small one is behind because when it first popped up, the seed didn't come off by itself, so I kinda helped it after a few days. They were both neck and neck at the very beginning.

Anyway, here are pics:

 

This is the better plant (obviously).


MmmHmm

 

And these two are from the not as good plant:





And one of them both:

 

The big question is now, do they look okay to you guys?

 

Hmmm...I watered them (doing my best not to overwater) and now they're much more perky btw.

 

they sure do bro.
Im glad you got it worked out.
They look like they are asking for bat guano though.
Some kinda nitrogen. Fert them babies.

 

Hmmm... I have Blood Meal which says it does the nitrogen thing. Will do!

edit: Okay I gave them some blood meal. I'm not sure if I did it right though. The box didn't have any detailed instructions. It just said to apply it and then water, so that's what I did. Do I have to mix this stuff with the soil? I just put it on the top. I'm assuming the watering is what makes it reach the roots... I feel kinda bad watering it two days in a row.
