Seeds came in.

Just stuck a seed in a cup with some soil in it. I'll let it sprout and let its roots develop before transferring. Guess I should change the name of this thread from White Widow to Swiss Cheese.

There are tiny roots at the bottom of the glass. It's safe to assume the seed's popped and will be sprouting any hour now.

Hello there, little feller.

Now under 8 CFLs: 4x 23w 2700k and 4x 23w 6500k
Ordering a grow tent in a few weeks, I guess. My bank account's frozen due to a cash deposit I made.

Transplanted to hydroton.

Nutrients: Thrive Alive B1 Green and Root 66.
Lights: 1x 23w 6500k CFL. As I transplanted the plant to hydroton, I feared the extra lighting might burn the sprout if a mischievous bead of water decided to ruin everything by landing on it.
pH: 6.1

More hydroton will be added when the sprout gets taller.

Will be replacing the solution tomorrow. I'm going to veg just long enough to LST it around the lid. I'm probably going to be trimming this constantly. Been keeping the lights far away for fear of burning it to a crisp, as seedlings are too fragile to handle that kind of light. I just lowered them now.

[JTP]

Just now switched out the solution. Still the same pH; it doesn't seem to fluctuate whatsoever. I'll update pictures later tonight.

Some stuff happened last night that's got me feeling like shit, which is why I didn't update. Grow's still going, though; I'll update it soon by editing this post.

Edit: Looks like I might need to pick up some peroxide. Either that, or the residual soil from the transplant spread (doubtful). Plant's not yet big enough to cover the pot.

For the curious, that's my sleeve in the top-left of the bottom image. Smooth, shiny satin.

After taking this, I changed the nutrients, installed the screen, raised the lights and cleaned the case up a bit. Before taking this, I removed the tie-down. Letting it grow a bit more, then re-tying. Probably going to flower soon.

Becoming quite the bushy little bitch.

Not sure what's going on with the leaf at the bottom. It's the only one showing signs of damage, so I'm going to wait it out to see if any others do or if solution just got splashed on it.
