What's new

How's my progress? First ever grow...PC micro

Hey I'm just trying to get some feedback on how things look, and what I could maybe do to improve the situation.

I'm on day 33 growing a feminized White Dwarf. She was under 69 watts of CFLs, but just added another 23 today to bring the total wattage up to 92. Temps are running a bit high, as they have been for most of the grow - usually around 89 F.

I have 2x 120mm intakes in the front of my case, and a single 120mm undervolted Delta pulling through a scrub ninja style pencil sharpener can filter in the rear. I'm not sure if there's negative pressure in the case - if I hold up a piece of tissue paper to the intake it doesn't stick.

Anyways, I struggled with some chlorosis on the older leaves early on, but after a couple feedings it seemed to correct things. The pictures aren't the greatest - but all the new growth is looking pretty green and lush. Some very minor tip burn which I think is caused from the heat. Overall she's about 6 - 7" tall, and fairly bushy. Any idea how far behind she is? White Dwarf is apparently ~55 days from seed, but I think my CFL setup is lagging behind that a bit.

Anyways, any input would be appreciated.

thanks

the tip burn is from to much N, 89 degrees is about 10 to hot, i dont micro grow, but if i did i would use smaller pots or stuff 5 or 6 clones in a pot that size, it seems like a lot of work and risk to reap a tiny amount of bud, heres a pic of a recent plant just to show what can be done with a small pot, other than that it looks good for a first grow,

your plant is looking pretty good, the one thing tho is the intake exhaust, you dont need two intakes, its just blowing the warm air around before your outtake can grab it, thats causing your hot temps. im not sure what ur setup is like, if you can, post a picture, but usually one outtake fan, and a bunch of passive intakes should do it. or you can do two outtakes, and one passive intake, you deffinitly dont want negative pressure inside.

hope this helps,

christoph.

Yeah...I was probably a bit too worried about potting up. My original intention was to get a nice long pot so I could LST along the length of it...but the plant has been so small in height I haven't had a need.

Would anyone recommend LST'ing still? The stem is pretty flexible so I could definitely get the top down even with some of hte older leaves....would this help my yield?

And yeah, it's probably not worth all the work for the amount I'll harvest...but I'm having a good time messing around. I'll be thrilled if I pull 7 grams....any chance?

Oh I forgot to mention Christoph, the two 120mm intakes are both passive. The only fan in my case is on the exhaust.
 
ide say 7 grams is a possibility here, white dwarf is a pretty decent strain ive herd :) where did you get your seeds from? who produces them?

and as for the passive intakes, thats good, but maybe this means that you need a better outtake fan, and ide still like too see some pics of ur cab if u can... hook a brotha up? :p
