250w Medical Grow ~ WW & C99 - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

TheGhost · 11-19-2006, 06:20 PM

Hi all,

Its time for the next cycle in my cabinet so I figured that I should document a grow.
It’s probably not the best time to do this because I have just made some major changes to my usual setup, but we’ll just have to see what happens.

So, what have I changed?

Usual plant numbers = 2
This grow = 4

Two new strains that I have never flowered before.

Two plants are from seed and two plants are from clone.

This time round I didn’t have the time or space to worry about the male female thing so I ordered some seeds from Female Seeds. I got some C99 and White Widow.
C99 is new to me, I have tried it but never grown it. I have grown Widow a while back and I do remember the great potency but I also remember the smell which I am concerned about, but I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it.

BTW: If anyone is interested in my set up details and history just check out the “250w Medical Stealth Cabinet” link in my sig.

So I just chopped down my last grow and tomorrow I am going to set up this grow.
The last grow was a combination of Skunk#1 and Gypsy’s White Rhino. I will get some shots and do a short report on the Rhino tomorrow.

Anyway, for this grow I have two C99 clones that were taken from the best of 6 female seedlings, and two White Widow seedlings that are at five weeks old.
All four plants are on the their second day of full strength nutes (lucas 8-16) and at this stage they are all close to the same height.

Sorry for the crappy pics but I had a lot to do and only had time for some quick snaps.

Here they are vegging under fluros.

Wide leaves are WW seedlings, narrow leaves are C99 clones.

C99

White Widow

I'll post some more pictures tomorrow after they are transplanted into the flower chamber.

Later,

Nice looking plants Ghost. Your cab is one of the best Ive seen..... great work. Ill be watching this one.

If you don't mind, do you care to tell us what the rhino looks like it'll yield and what methods you used on it. I am also growing RHINO with a 250 and was wondering what exactly I should be expecting. Wow and a quinc. I am gorwing c99 next...

Thanks

Welcome guys,
So I got some shots of the best rhino bud and a good skunk#1.
I originally got the White Rhino because so many people had said that it was a good med strain.
It never had much vigor and it really struggled to keep up with the Skunk. I cut some a little early and the high is a bit of a kreeper, very relaxing for the muscles but it just did not help my partner with pain the way I thought it would not to mention that I chopped it at 60 days and it looked like it could have gone another week.
I saved some pollen from a white rhino male and polinated some lower branches on both the Skunk#1 and the Rhino.

Very heavily seeded Skunk#1 buds.

Here is the best White Rhino bud, yes it is a good yielder but it just does not make the cut in my garden.

The Rhino was grown in DWC under a 250w hps alongside a Skunk#1.

Thanks for looking guys.

Its time for a break

and then I will get on and post some pics of the new grow.

Later, Ghost

TheGhost · 11-20-2006, 04:13 PM

Ok, its done.

The change over is complete, the old crop has been chopped and I have 4 new plants in the flower chamber. Here we go again.

The two C99's have been topped but the two Widow's haven't. I will top the Widows in the next couple of days. Its a bit of a guess as to what is going to happen with this grow because two of the plants are clones and two are seedlings.

When I first plant new plants into the system the roots don't reach the water level so I run small feeder lines on 24/7. Not much flow but enough to keep them watered until the roots reach the water level and I can turn the feeder lines off.

C99 clone

White Widows on the left, C99's on the right.

White Widows.

C99's.

The whole gang.

I hope to veg for 7-10 days and then go 12/12, but the timing is hard to predict because I have not grown either of these strains before.

I will update this thread on a weekly basis.
Thanks for sharing my grow.

Later

looking good man, how much height do you have for the plant's to grow? their goona grow fast in that hydro tub for sure. ive read that white wido grow's best with single cola style. good luck.

darrinjefferson · 11-21-2006, 04:31 AM

damn ghost. i really like your chocies of strains. should be very nice, and very rewarding. and ya got plenty of seeds from the looks of it to go for a long time..hehehe

cant wait to see this baby packed full of buds.
late

TheGhost · 11-26-2006, 05:08 PM

Update time!

Smokateer4204: I have 10 inches of growing space from the top of the rocks to the screen and then 13 inches of growing space above the screen. I can squeeze a couple of extra inches in if I have to but the bud tips get a little close to the light if I let them go 13+ inches above the screen. I try to keep my buds to between eight and ten inches above the screen if possible because a 250w light does not really penetrate the canopy well below 8 inches.

Hey DJ hows it going? welcome aboard.

So, things have gone well the temps here are getting hot and I even had a couple of days this week that I measured 35 degrees celcius (95f) in the room outside the cab.
I topped the Widows and they recovered well. I am really impressed with the vigour show by both these plants. The tops of the tallest plant are at about 8 inches above the rocks, I think that they are ready to go 12/12 but I need to take clones for the next run and they are just not big enough to cut yet.
I am going to let them veg for another day and hopefully I will be able to cut some clones and flip the lights tomorrow.

Sorry for the yellow pics, I was late tonight and the lights were on.

Group Shot Day 7 Veg.

White Widow

C99

The C99 clones are branching like crazy, and the Widows are just getting fatter and fatter.
I will post some pics tomorrow after I clone them and flip the lights.

Thanks for looking guys.

Later, Ghost
