Growing in the Amazon #5 - Viúva Branca

amazongrow Hey there, She sprouted on the other day, during the night, after planted. She is only drinking water, at the morning and only around her.. not in all the pot. You have to be cautious when watering a small plant in a big pot, but I guess you already knew that, right? =] Anyway, I'm uploading a few pics for this week. Thanks for the visit and.. tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hey there, fellows! I stared feeding her sometime around the beginning of this week. She got half recommended dosage, one day. All the others just plain water. Here are a few pics from around this week. She was under 24h of light but I thought she was too slow.. so went to 18/4 and she started going faster into the flow. Thank you all for the visit and see you next week! Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hey there, Here are some pics from around this week. I just topped her today and I did an uncle ben topping. From the second to the third node, I've left 4 branches. Let's see how it goes, because she was already into the flow but she should take it slow for at least a couple of days and get back to it... we will see. Do you like uncle ben's topping? This is my second time doing it, I liked it. Less work, same weight. =) So, thanks for visiting and keep watching! Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hello there, Everything is fine. Good growth after topping. I will up the ferts to 1.5 ml/l this week, still half dosage. Maybe 2ml/l. Started some LST on the bigger branch today.. I guess tomorrow I will do the rest and leave the small one alone so it grows more strong and catch up with the others. Thanks for the visit and keep watching! Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hey there, We were still at 1ml per liter last week, she was so happy and green that I think she does not needed the upgrade yet, but now I will up the ferts to 2ml/l. I fucking broke a branch, yeah fuck, and it was not the little one, fuck it again. Anyways, more tops now and Im thinking of topping the other 2 big branches, what do you think? I guess I will. The pics from the begging are after the last LST from last week, I tied her up She is doing well and strong I guess. Thanks for the visit and keep watching! Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hey fellows and girls! This pics are from around this week, but just after a little defoliation and bending. I'm sorry I did not take any pictures before the defoliation session, my bad. Anyway, she is going strong and healthy. I'm loving her shape and I bet she will be sooo beautiful and strong in a few days... so check it out in a day or two! I took some leaves and branches that would not be developing down below and from in between the main branch... I just left the 3 top branches on each small one! She got lots of light and space to grow now. This is going to be her last vegetation week, and I guess she won't make it to the end of the weekdays... she will be flowering before that, I hope so. Thanks for the visit and keep watching! Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hello there my friends, We have been into flower since yesterday. Those pictures are from today. The ferts where changed accordingly, starting at 1/2 recommended dosage for everything. I should get into the recommended dosage on next week. She is strong and healthy and has strong branches after defoliation.. the ones I choose to let grow. Let's leave her be until day 21 and defoliate again after the stretch. Thanks for the visit and keep watching. Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hey there, Still going strong. This is the beginning of the second week of flowering. I will leave her be and defoliate on day 21. What do you think, is she healthy and strong? Thanks for the visit and keep watching! Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hello! Here we go! Still strong and healthy!

amazongrow Hello all, We have been going strong. Not that big of a plant but strong and healthy. We are running through the 4th week of flowering and finally I had time to tie her up one last time and also to took a few more leaves there were just blocking other bud sites or not getting any light. She will be like this till the end but I hope to have to tie her down when the buds get heavier and heavier... Thanks for the visit and keep watching. Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hey there folks! She is still flowering and getting fatter! I just thought she could have grown a little higher.. but her buds will be heavy and thick I guess. Anyway, my first not so tall girl.... let's see how she finishes. I have high hopes. Im feeding her one time at the third day of the week. Just letting her go, beautiful. What do you think? Thanks for the visit and keep watching. Tchau, from the Amazon Rain Forest in Brazil =]

amazongrow Hey there! Some more shots from early week 6th. Actually I think I lost some days from last week... so... the next week will be more acurate. Stil, she is awesome. Fatter everyday. Thanks for visiting and keep following! Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hello there! F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!I forgot that this time of the year things get mold in here... super high humidity and lots of rain... so... I suddenly spot a brown spot in one of the buds... and I dig and found mold, f*ck! f*ck! f*ck! So.... I went to search in the rest of the buds and found that almost all of the biggest bud had a little start of mold on some parts... some still at the beginning and others more evolved! I was so much pissed off and disappointed. But... "no retreat, no surrender".... and I search for all of the rest of the moldy buds, cut then off, put the moldy parts aside and left the good parts to dry far away from the grow-box. Anyway... shit happens, right? I miss my LSD from Barney Farms, that strain is very mold resistent.. I had huge buds with not a tiny little white mold on it... how much I regret from letting her go and not reveging her anymore! So... tears a part, let's go. There is no looking behind and crying over spoiled milk. Shit happens, period. I hope after the but I can leave the rest ripping for at least 10 more days. No ferts anymore, just plain water. Those pics are almost from the start of 8th week... sorry about that. Next week you can grab how she ended after all the cuttings... Tchau, do Brazil! =]

amazongrow Hey there! A few pics from later week 8th. She is on 9th by tomorrow, I will soon do a proper update. No more mold, most big buds cutted. F*ck! =) Thanks for the visit. Tchau, do Brazil!

amazongrow Hey there, fellows! This is our last week, we will complete week 9 nine and harvest by the middle of week 10. A few pics, already with fewer branches from the cuts of mold! Anyway... that's life. We battle, sometimes we win, other we do not and even we can draw! ha! =] Thanks for the visit and keep watching for the final chapter! Tchau, do Brazil!

amazongrow Hey there, Mold arrived by the end of the flowering and went on to spread to various buds. Well, that is life, right? But I think this strain is not sooooo much resistent to mold, it's buds are thick and heavy, beautiful. I wish I grow one of these in a proper environment someday. But, the plant was a strong one and a pleasure to grow. I was the one that let her down in the end of our journey. I still have one more seed from this pack to grow... looking forward to it on another season. Thank you all for keeping up with this diary. Tchau, do Brazil! =] * Wet weight is approximate, I will only weight it when it's dry,
