On Day 104, I decided to go ahead and chop down Industrial Plant CBD. Her trichomes are still not even 75% milky and there are no signs of amber. She continued to get a little more bud rot in her bigger top buds the last few days before her death -- despite some recent upgrades to increase airflow and stabilize the temperature in my environment. She continued to look sicker and sicker as time went on without seeing any real trichome development so I decided to put her out of her misery at last. If I had to guess based on eyeballing what was still salvageable... I think I should still end up with about 2 ounces of dry material when it's all over. Her buds are quite sticky and resinous -- more so than any of my others -- that combined with the density of the flowers must have made it that much more difficult to keep the mold & bud rot at bay. White Widow still needs another few days to complete her flush but she is looking fantastic and her donkey-dick buds keep flopping out of their supports. She is my biggest plant and she has some huge buds that feel rock hard; so I'm curious to see what she yields. I should have harvest reports on these last 2 plants within the next 2 weeks.
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 😉
@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.
Nice 1 mate was checking your grow I thought mine we're behind in there growth but mine are at the same stage yours was at week 5 my tallest plant is 22inches but there weird these auto have got one that's grown like a indica but leaves look sativa and look like a completely different plant then what it is compared to other Ines have got growing yours look really health they look nice happy growing pal
@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.
@420_liquidsun Thanks! I know I am always looking for as many details as possible when I look at what other people are doing so I try to jot down what I can remember.
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!
Looks good man. Found this diary because I've got an industrial plant that has just popped. Be interested to see if I have any similar problems. Yours is the only diary for this strain.
lovely harvests u got there man! 30l potz💪 for great yieldz i would say im tryin a green crack in a 15l now cuz the berry ryder of last was a bit too big for continuous repetition... keep your thing👌
