First Grow Progress using HGCC seeds

Bill · October 21, 2020, 8:49pm

I’ve been growing a couple of years now, but strictly from “bag seeds”. I broke down and purchased some seeds from HGCC and am trying them now. These are a White Widow and Purple Kush x White Russian at approximately 6 weeks and 1 week into flowering.

Temps range between 68-82 (lights off/lights on)
Humidity is 38-55% depending on whether lights are on or not
Small fan for air circulation run continuously
Exhaust fan thru a filter run continuously
Containers of water are used to keep humidity up.
Water daily with plain water (purified water in gallon jugs)
1-2 times weekly add nutrients (FloraNova)
Everything is on timers and automated, including the watering

lookin good! get some of those LED glasses and hold them over your camera to get some nice normal color pics! or a company on amazon sells a camera filter for phones at clips on to correct the color!

Great looking plants. Keep us updated. That white window is a beaut.

Oh man those look great! Patiently waiting for my first run on autos to get done!

Bill · October 22, 2020, 7:43pm

I’ve never tried any autos - strictly bag seeds and fems.

Girls looking good. Gonna be a good smoke.

@Bill that’s a sweet setup, is that a tent or a cabinet?

Bill · November 6, 2020, 3:39pm

Hi @Rye. It’s a 32x32" tent. I also have a 2’x4’ tent and a 2’x4’ cabinet.

Cabinet is used as a veg/starter area. Small tent is good for up to 3-4 plants max (2000W light) and the large tent is good for up to 8 plants max (depends on size) (2x2000W lights).

Here’s a pic:

Another week has gone by - new pics!!! And the ladies are flowering nicely!
Trimmed off a bunch of leaves so the airflow and lighting is maximized at the bud sites.

Coming along nicely @Bill !

I like your de-fol. Some people go crazy and take too many leaves off.
Yours is sensible

Bill · November 12, 2020, 4:58pm

Thanks @Khatru! I try to keep things on the “clean” side in terms of the large leaves. Need resources going towards growing bud, not leaves.

Rye · November 13, 2020, 4:03pm

That is a sweet set up sir. I like how contained it is, but still a TON of space. Great job sir

Bill · November 13, 2020, 4:16pm

Thanks @Rye! I see some setups with lots of plants in a tiny area. I’ve always been under the impression that if you have the space, these ladies will fill it in!

This post is a bit late in comparison to the other pics - but here are pics from week 4 of flowering:
