Snow is doing pretty good. She germinated as expected and looked healthy as she is being transferred to her place on the window-sill. The sun has been good for the past few days, but the temperature outside has dropped. This isn't much of a problem, though, as she is above a radiator that is putting out a decent amount of heat. Her cotyledons seem to be kinda stuck in the shell of the seed, but I am confident that she will push her way out. Even if she hasn't appeared to move for the past 24 hours. I gave her some water, anyway, since the potting mix was a little drier than I'd like. The fibre cup is starting to disintegrate. I'm hoping that she won't get too big - I've no idea about automatics for this strain, as I've never used automatic flowering seeds before. While she gets some rest tonight, I'll be reading up on whether or not some low-stress training and a little pruning will hurt her too much. I've read that it's not good to snip off tips for autos, and to really just leave them to it. // 01/04 The reading suggested only low-stress and to not snip her or take clones or anything like that, so I'll just be leaving her alone... She's really starting to move today! I'm glad, because this is the one I wanted to nurture the most. However, as much as she's shooting up - she is clinging onto her seed husk, refusing at the moment to come out of her shell. I've never looked that closely at this stage before, and it appears as if the stem is ripped, although this may be from the seed itself. I was worried about it last night, as it looked weak and dark, but turned out it was a bit of soil on it... didn't remove it. Yet. I'm not sure if to leave the cot's to develop and push the seed shell off themselves, or if I ought to remove them myself to save her the effort.

Hey guys - this little girl is clinging onto her shell. I've wet it a few times, and it has been 24hrs - it's not moving. She brought it out the soil with her, and is developing nicely otherwise. Should I remove it early (like now) or wait to see if the she pushes it off?

Always wait for it to fall off. It is way to easy to damage the seed leaves since they can stick to the inside of the shell and tear when you remove it. I will usually take a syringe and put a drop of water over the shell to keep it soft and so the inner membrane does not dry out and stick. Eventually they should break free. I had a similar but worse issue with this grow. See germination/week1 growdiaries.com/diaries/126912-grow-journal-by-chow-13/week/673135

Have any of you guys ever taken cuttings/clones from autos? This is my first time with ruderalis cross, and I am reading that I shouldn't even top the plants as they will likely start to flower as they reach 5-8 nodes. Will the plant be super stunted after a clip..?

Doesn't work, its that auto flowering gene that prevents it from being successful. By the time roots form, the plant will be wanting to flower, not continue veg growth, making cuttings/clones pointless. In my experience, autos do best if left intact and when not topped.

I was wondering... This White Widow auto is bred from Critical x Ruderalis to have Critical Auto ~ 35-50% Ruderalis. Crit. Auto is bred again to WW S1 Auto (~20-25% Ruderalis). If bred again, you think enough Ruderalis (~10%) for it to still be classed as automatic? Thanks! :D

Es geht nicht um den prozentualen Anteil in der Genetik. Es gibt auch reine Ruderalis- Pflanzen die photoperiodisch aktiviert werden müssen. Du musst bei Deinen Kreuzungen, wenn Du denn Automatics züchten möchtest, eben auf diese Eigenschaften hin selektieren. Also bei den Nachkommen bestimmen welche unabhängig vom Lichtzyklus blühen und diese Eigenschaft stabilisieren. Es gibt stabile Automatics die weniger als 2% Ruderalisgenetik enthalten... Viel Glück!

Auto experts! I have been keeping this one very low & it is producing many shoots with pistils. I'd like to remove some fan leaves, but Idk if this is a good idea, since it is flowering after only a month..! Do you think it would be ok to do this for more light..? Thanks! :D

1st try tucking the leaves behind to expose more flower sites. I wouldn't really defoliate her until she really kicks into gear and explodes in growth.

I grow the exact same strain as you but am a few weeks further along. I have done some slight defoliation without any problems. That being said, I don't think you need to worry about that yet as your girl is still rather small. Leaf tucking should be all you need at this point.

@The_Saccade, Good luck with your grow and harvest. I'm VERY happy how my White Widows come along :)

@love_2_grow, Thanks for the help! I appreciate it! You know... the plant would probably be about 30cm + tall if I didn't keep tying it down :P It's so bent up like a pretzel right now, which has seemed to help it shoot out a lot more of the side branches compared to a regular White Widow. It is a small little thing, but I'm hoping that after it starts to develop true buds that it will shoot out a little :) I'm going to hold off on taking away any more leaves for a few weeks! Thanks again! :D

Hey there... Hashy was right - you really don't want to do much defoliation at this stage... The one thing I'd recommend is pulling up your lights so they're about 24" away - this will encourage the plant to stretch. Super job so far!!

@GrowingGrannie, Thanks for the tip, Grannie! :D I think the light is about 20" (? 50cm?) away from the plants at the moment... I've a little problem in that I accidentally hanged it a little skewed, so one of the ratchet ties is a little shorter than the other. If I lower it - it falls in a diagonal pattern... but I think the coverage is still good! What I've done, following your advice, is to move the plant to the outside rather than directly under it - also the same for the other auto :D Hopefully this will have a similar effect in encouraging it to pull out a bit more toward the light :D I'll have to stop tying everything down - but these autos are wanting to grow so much every day!!! At least an inch is added to the shoots every time I go to check on them! :D
