Well, Snow is doing pretty good..! I re-potted her since it turns out this potting mix, when saturated, does not dry out well - and the RD was suffering because of it - and I think I left her a bit high in the soil after this. So... I've been kind of turning it every now and then and pressing her into the ground. I keep a fan on her for a while during the "dark" time, so to help strengthen the stem. The height at which she is showing to branch out though, is fine. The leaves are looking strong and they are fanning out nice and wide and turning to the light a LOT - so... I am moving her off the ledge and under 2x300w LED pink and 1x30w LED white lamps. I think also to transfer to a slightly larger pot in the next few weeks... But - for now, she's ok and everything is ok and I think she will be ok. I'll give her some food later in the week, perhaps. The potting soil is supposed to have enough for 3 months for a house plant, which essentially this is - but I don't see anything wrong with some tomato food, or even some of the nutrients I would use in the hydro's. Currently, she's on an all-water diet, of around 50ml or so every 24 hours (the soil is thirsty and makes a grateful popping and sucking sound when the water hits and fills the airspaces it contains). // 14/04 I've repotted her in a nice square pot, because I think that these autos are going to go under the growlight due to it being so overcast and cold lately. Also, there's a lot of snails.

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
