White Widow, first grow, 2x2

To me it makes no sense to do 2 plants or 6 plants or whatever. You do 1 or you do 4.. Keep it symmetrical. That’s said, I’d be doing it plant if you’re gonna main line you’re taking time to veg and 1 plant will fill up a 2x2 if mainlined - shoot for 16-24 tops.. usually lower growth you can top an extra time, giving you some extra tops. If you’re gonna push more than 16 you better have environmentals on point, cuz you’re gonna have a lot going on in a small spot and can get WPM and humidity issues.. I’d go one plant 16 tops. You’ll be able to flip after 6-8 weeks if you grow decently. Good luck

I don’t recommend going more than your 18 hours.. as far as and exact DLI, I’ve never calculated it for seedlings. Just try to keep things around 250-300 which would be like 15-20 DLI I believe at 18 hours.. maybe push up to 20 if ya like but I think it’s crucial to have a dark period. I also notice (and it could be circumstantial/genetics) but when you have a significant jump in lights on hours and switch to 12/12.. the more difference between the two cycles seems to cause more stretch. For example - going from 20/4 to 12/12 seems to stretch more than 16/8 to 12/12. Just my experience.. Good luck! White widow from ILGM should be a great first grow, I’ve grown about a dozen of their strains

@esotaro same thing happened to two trainwreck seedlings recently the dry air and heat literally sapped the moisture from the leaves and the plants ended up DEAD 💀 If that is the case not much can be done to save the seedling but you can try to elevate moisture levels in the air

hi growmate!!! Just keep giving water when soil is dry!!! Don't worry,the plant is strong enough💪👽 Good luck and enjoy!!!!

I would also avoid using the word soil. medium or substrait would be better as soil is a type of medium you grow in. Yours is mainly comprised of peat, this makes it soilless. As this is a soilless grow I would aim to keep your PH in the range of 5.8-5.9 for vegg and 6.2-6.3 for flower. Your diary says the plants are on week six but they are severely stunted for other 6 week old plants. I think this is because the first three two week of your grow could be the germination week and the third would be week one. This combined with improper PH has caused them to grow slowly. is my theory. I think you could increase the feed up a bit but best to get the PH under control before doing anything else. Good Luck!
