Seedsman Indoor Contest:
White Widow
Luckily for me, I have managed to get involved in the " Seedsman Forums Grow Contest 2018".
Participants have been asked to choose three strains from the "Seedsman" catalogue, and grow them out, with a full, extensive diary on each strain.
The strain I have chosen for this diary (of which I will germinate one seed) is White Widow:

The diary will be updated at least twice a week, with pictures, information on feeding schedule, and growth progression. I look for these diaries to be a grow guide on each strain, and a step by step guide, to get you the same results as me, come harvest!
All grows will be in the following setup:
Germination
8w heated propagator for germination ( Not turned on, its already warm enough)
Early Veg
60cmx60cmx120cm Grow Tent
Omega Lighting 2 tube 48w T5.
Small oscillating fan
Veg/ Flower
1.2mx1.2mx2m Tent.
5' extraction and filter, exhuasted out side. ( Maybe upgrade to a 6' depending on the heat)
4' intake, (passive/ active, depending on temperatures.)
Dyson AM02 Tower fan and Hurricane Super 8, for air circulation
1m Parabolic, silver reflector, with 400w MH for Veg, and 600w HPS for flowering.
Dimmable Digital Ballast ( 250w, 400w, 600w, 660w)
Evolution Digital Fan Speed Controler
Medium:
Plants will also be grown in "Tropic Bat Mix", in the following pots:
For germination: 500ml plastic pot
For early veg: 5l Fabric pots.
Late veg and flower 25l Plastic pots.
Food:
For the seedlings and the root zone throughout the grow:
Great white root enhancer and Rhizotonic
Veg:
Advanced nutrients:
Iguana juice Organic Grow
Ancient Earth Organic
Flower:
Iguana Juice Organic Bloom
Ancient Earth Organic
Big Bud Organic
Bud Candy Organic
I also have a "BlueLab Ph Pen", and a "Hanna Gro-Line EC/TDS Tester". Both just a couple of months old, and clean and calibrated. But I shouldn't be needing those much during this grow. Its just there in case I have issues. I also have a 16L Dehumidifier, and maybe looking at getting some aircon installed if the temps over summer get too much.
Most of all they have a loving parent, they will flourish and grow. There will probably be more upgrades to the set up as we go, depending on the plants needs.
The plan is to germinate, and then veg for around 3-4 weeks, under 24 hours of the T5, then 2 weeks under 400W MH on 18/6. Then I will put them into flower for 2 weeks under 12/12 of 600w MH, and change to the 600w HPS for the rest of flowering period, changing back to the MH for the final week of flower.
During the veg, I will be topping the plant once at the 4th node, and manipulating the plant with some Low Stress Training (LST).
