This strain was an absolute joy to grow. I didn't top but used both low-stress and high-stress training; the plants just loved it. There were a couple of differences between the two plants, with #1 being larger with stickier but loser buds.
I had thrips in the tent, but they only infested #2. I'm not sure why. Did they infest that plant because it was smaller (and maybe less vigorous), or did the plant grow smaller because of the infestation?
The chicken or the egg...
According to Royal Queen Seeds, the indoor yield can be up to 400-450 grams per square meter, and I almost doubled that with a 274 grams harvest in a 1/3-square-meter tent. Certainly can't complain about that.
The buds just finished drying and are now curings. They smell absolutely delicious but went from a citrus/pine aroma during the grow to a peppery pine aroma, with a hint of gas, after the 16-day dry. I'm excited to see how the terp profile will develop further during the cure.
I haven't smoked any yet as I prefer well-cured buds, so I can't comment on taste or effect.
Once again, I'm impressed by this light. It's a bit overpowered for my small grow space, so the dimmer was set to 60% at most. That means that this light produced over 2 grams per watt. To quote Borat - Very Nice!
Being able to switch On/Off the IR and UV diodes makes it easy to adapt the light to the state of your grow.
I let the plants dry for 16 days, a bit longer than usual, but I was on vacation, and it took a few extra days.
The average relative humidity during the dry was 61%, with a couple of spikes and dips due to humidifier issues. The temps were way too high, but unfortunately, that is outside my control and only serves as confirmation as to why I don't grow over the summer.
The trim was a straight-forward issue, although #1 was a bit more work as her buds were not as dense as the second girl
I got 274 grams of bud and 25 grams of sugar-leaf trim that I will use for edibles. In total, 299 grams. Boom! That is plenty to carry me through until my next grow.
I'll enjoy a summer break, but I will return in September for the next growing season.
@love_2_grow, in Russian it's agro plionka. English - frost fleece. Any gardening center will have , I buy it on eBay in UK.
Honestly does magic ! You can spray as often as you want, you will never burn with water as magnifying glass or light will be too intense.
@THChili, Thank you! It's the first time I'm growing this strain, and I'm looking forward to the journey. It's been YEARS since the last time I even smoked White Widow. I'm so excited! :D
