This was a freebie auto included in my Seedsman order. She was a bit temperamental up until she entered full flowering and always had a harder time taking nutrients compared to the other 3 plants from 2 different breeders. She is picky about her temperatures! Too cold and she'll droop, too hot and she'll droop; nothing seemed to be wrong when she did this -- just difficult I suppose. However, once she hit flowering, she became my biggest yielder by far and that's when she took her big strides. She started handling nutes like a champ. Her top buds on her branches were rock hard and coated in frost, they got too heavy so I had to use 1-3 bamboo rods per cola to keep them from completely breaking off. Unfortunately, this plant had some problems with bud rot and mold towards the end of flowering and I ended up losing about another ounce of top buds that were infested. Seems like the last 2 to finish really got screwed in flowering because of an extended power outage (colder temps and higher humidity) and sub-par airflow. At least I learned some lessons to take with me going forward.

Reviews. Nutrient
I was given free samples of the Elite Garden nutrients line when I went to my local hydro store for gear to start this grow. The mixes of the nutrients did not seem to mess with my water's PPM and PH as much as I had expected. I love that they have an app for my iPhone where it will adjust the weekly feeding chart based on the life cycle and/or reservoir size. It's helpful for when I need to make adjustments on the fly. I feel as if their price point is fair for the quality of their products; seemed competitive with other bottled nutrients at the hydro store.
I kept on hearing nothing but good things about this product on a podcast I listen to on YouTube called Wake & Bake America. I ordered it because I heard it was as close to a silver bullet for lockout/deficiency problems as there is. By the time it arrived (around day 50ish), I was seeing evidence of lockout and/or signs of a couple different deficiencies starting to develop on multiple plants. I used this stuff as a hail mary and sure enough, within 48 hours, I did see improved plant health as guaranteed by Real Growers. All these wicked microbes seemed to regulate the nutrients being taken up through the roots and I was seeing vibrant, heathy greens returning my plants within a couple of days.
I don't think this supplement was all that necessary for me to purchase when running the Elite nutrients line. I neglected to check the label to see that Elite already contains Calcium and Magnesium before I purchased this to start this grow.

Great bud for a freebie. Really nice, classic stone to it. Gives a nice case of the giggles and munchies. Great for a night on the town.

I'll have to concur with several other posts here. Your diary is quite detailed, I like it a lot. Can't wait for this bad girl to be up for the monthly voting 😉

So what exactly happened to cause the rot?
grundoh
grundoh
@DabCrab I think it was a combination of factors. The first being that about 10 days ago, my area was going through random power outages for 2-3 days. There were some extended periods of darkness which caused temp to go down and humidity to go up. I was also skimping on airflow. All I had for airflow before I noticed the rot was a small clip fan up near the top of my tent and my fan for my carbon filter on low. The 3rd factor was the main cola and that side branch nug being CHUNKY. It was so fat and just kept stacking more bud. Apparently that coupled with the other factors make for perfect conditions for mold. I turned my carbon filter fan up to medium-high and added a 18" oscillating fan on medium. That seems to be holding humidity at 43-53% and temperature at 68F-78F. Next time around I am going to leave my lights on 24/7 because that will keep the conditions more favorable and stable.

@@Tryhard,tall ones are likely to be sativa dominant.Next time you can set a scrog and keep both sativa and indica at same height.

man nice grow ,good plants,but you have mold on Main bud industrial plant ,baddd 😌

@SsS_SsS good eye! i checked it out and sure enough, the main cola had mold all inside the lower half of the bud. after i finished inspecting the plant i found more mold on a larger side cola. i cut out all of the infected areas and added an oscillating fan to my tent to try and increase the air circulation. My heart sank cutting off that fat main cola but it was for the best. I definitely will have to invest in some temperature/humidity control stuff for my next grow; that seems to be my biggest enemy in the space I have.

Tight I'm not the only one running the Widow and Ripley from the Seedsman bundle! I'm amazed at how much better the freebies did than the Fastbuds genetics I actually paid for lol

@TheLastDaburai, Hah, thanks! Yup I definitely couldn't resist those free Ripley's OG beans on Seedsman. I've heard mixed results about freebie, bank-brand, autos from these various seedbanks. This being my first grow and all, I figured I'd try out their White Widow since that strain has never let me down before. It's a little fussy when it comes to its nutrients but I can't complain about much else at this stage. I really wanted to do an OG grow since I have PTSD and I have found OG strains to be a nice balance of what I need medicine-wise throughout my day. Therefore, I couldn't resist the Ripley's OG freebies! I have never run any FastBuds before. From what little I've read about them, it seems to be the flip of a coin with regards to success.

@CBD_Sweden Thanks. I will also be curious to see the dry weight of IPACBD when she's all done because she has huge, thick buds that just keep getting fatter instead of ripening (not complaining). She is my favorite smelling plant in my tent, that's for sure!
