I noticed brown spots on the leaves on #6, my smallest, poorest growing plant. I notice the spots on the leaves of other plants, but not all of them and not as bad. From looking at pictures and videos it looks like cal/mag deficiency. I watered with 5ml/gal with just Cal-Mag ph adjusted down to 6.8. While watering, I noticed a dead/dying yellow leaf at the bottom of #4. This week I'm installing an air conditioner in my garage, where the plants are housed. This will let me keep a consistent temp in the desert summer. I've purchased a second 4x4 grow tent because I think I vegged too many plants too long for a single 4x4. I'm putting a better light (Grower's Choice ROI-E680S) in this one. For this harvest I'm going to flower 3 plants in each tent. In the future, My plan is to use one tent for veg and the tent with the better light for flower to speed up harvests. The run off TDS is still too high on most of the plants for fertilizer. I transplanted into fresh fox farms ocean forest, then added nutrients twice in a row based on what was on the bottle. The plants didn't catch on fire or anything, but the TDS was in the 2000's and has been gradually decreasing on them - some faster than others.

Lots of updates - . I've added insulation and an air conditioner to my grow space and the temp is now stable throughout the day and night. I added a second 4x4 tent with a Grower's Choice ROI-E680S. 3 plants in each tent, the biggest of the 3 under the best light. Humidity is being controlled in both tents at 50% with InkBirds IHC-200s and humidifiers. I live in the desert and I'm not planning on needing a dehumidifier until dry time. I ran the ROI-E680S at 50% for the first few days of flower then upped it to 75%. The plants didn't catch on fire or anything. I'm not sure when to go to 100%. The other tent has two 125W Flexstar quantum boards. I moved those down from about 36 inches to 24. They've always been at 100%. Runoff TDS is decreasing as it should on most plants after several waterings with calmag added. I'm feeding every other watering with General Hydroponics FloraMicro/FloraGrow/FloraBloom. 1 ml/gal calmag every watering. No apparent PH problems except for #1, the biggest plant of the bunch. #1 had a low PH runoff of 5.8 after being watered with a 6.3 mixture. #2 and #3 both had runoff PH's of 6.3 and 6.4 from the same mixture. #1 is suffering from brown spots on some leaves covering roughly half the area of the plant. I wasn't sure what to do about #1's PH and the next batch of nutrient I mixed up landed at 6.7, so I re-watered #1 with the higher PH mixture. The new runoff for #1 was still at 5.8 and the runoff TDS decreased from 1530 to 1210. Switching to a dropper for PH up & down has been so much easier than attempting to use some fractional ml. I can dial in the PH I want from 1 gal to 4 gal by adding 5-20 drops, mixing, waiting 5 minutes, then testing. I would always overshoot before. #6 has always been small and seemed to lag behind the others. It still is. I think it may be actually be lettuce or something. I've noticed small white hairs sprouting from what I guess will be flower sites. I used a small microscope to take a zoomed in photo of one. I've decided I love all this and my least favorite part of it is dirt and the watering. After this grow I'm going to be full speed ahead on an RDWC setup.

Lookin sweet!!! Give um a round of defoliation and watch um swell!!! 🤩💯👊🏻

@TheConstantGardener, yes much better!! You’ll be happy with the outcome. The more light that can penetrate the canopy the better. I wanna be seeing my light shine through to my grow medium. It’ll keep you from having a bunch of larf. Good luck 👍🏻

@Mule420, Thanks for the advice - I followed it and opened up several of the plants. How'd I do?
Mule420
Mule420
@TheConstantGardener, Yes start in the center and work your way out leaving the top two maybe three set of fan leaves around your tops. Do your defoliation in 2-3 week intervals. You don’t have to be extreme with it but if it’s blocking a bud site it’s gotta go. And usually if it’s bigger than my hand … see ya lol Youll see the buds eat up that new light!! You’ll get a lot more air moving through there helping with any powdery mildew or any other unwanted issues that might try to show up. I also remove most any leaves that are pointing towards the middle of the plant. Those are just blocking airflow

I just grew 3 of these White Widows out. They are absolutely AMAZING 🤩 Have one pheno that smells like lemon 🍋 cleaner. It’s great for wake n bake. The other has a fruity pebbles taste on the exhale. The bud smells fruity yet creamy🔥🔥🔥💯👊🏻

@Mule420, Great tip, thank you!

@TheConstantGardener, I can tell you this. The widows did great under my lights but the pheno that flowered under 750 PPFD was more triched out than the others under the stronger light. Tastes more like fruity pebbles rather than lemon 🍋. I ended up with about 12 ozs or better off these gals!! I wish you the best of luck!! 💯👊🏻

@Mule420, Sweet! I checked out your grow - looks great! It gives me something to hope for with these!

What did your phenos smell like in the end. I had 3 different but pretty damn amazing phenos in my bunch. Just wondering about yours? Lol
Mule420

@TheConstantGardener, I had one that was tropical fruit with a definite creamy smell. The second but largest was very floral but skunky. Probably my second favorite too. The last was my lemon pheno, she was pretty amazing!! My favorite for sure💯👊🏻

@Mule420, All of them were very light and I noticed a distinct difference between them as you did. Of the 6 plants, I can't really count 2 of them because I dried them too quickly and they just smell like grass clippings (makes great butter, though!) The other 4 are all variations of what I would describe as "light floral". I can't wait to grow more of them now that I have somewhat of an idea what I'm doing to see if I get a different result.

Schöne Pflanzen. Die Sache mit dem Geruch ist halt so bei White whidow. Duften tut sie eher dezent, dafür knallt sie sehr. Typisch für 90 er Genetik.

@KingSalomonsWeed, Thanks! It's good to know the subtle smell is typical of the strain. I personally really like the idea of faint smelling plants but I understand some folks like them really loud.

Happy growing bud!! The girls are looking nice🙏 I'm growing the same strain currently on my first grow too😂 must just be a popular first strain
Lungboi

@TheConstantGardener, haha thanks! and yeah I did the same and got 20 seeds, and had two not germinate and the customer service was quick to reply they would replace any of the seeds that did not germinate so I'd say it's a pretty good deal. Maybe 20 seeds is a bit much of one strain as I'd like to grow other strains too but the deal was too good not to take😅
TheConstantGardener
TheConstantGardener
@Lungboi, Thank you! Lol, yep, I think ILGM recommended it as a good first time strain and I got 20 seeds for like $100 so I knew I could make lots of mistakes! Good luck!

Seems like you're doing pretty well for your first grow , I would take phatbongrips advice & flip these over to flower! Also it seems to me that you're pH levels are to high. Cannabis requires a pH range of between 5.5 & 6.5 if your plants are over or under those numbers what happens is that your plants can't feed properly, they can't take in the correct levels of nutrients & water & wont grow properly or even die. Ive found the sweet spot for my crops is at 5.8 to 6.0, I run hydro so pH levels are very important. But the best thing I could advise you is to look up grow weed easy.com, it is the cannabis growers Bible! , It explains everything about growing for first timers or experienced growers. Grow methods, plant training , equipment advice & comparison. Grow experiments ,EVERY THING there is to know about growing from very experienced people, & you can subscribe to their weekly newsletter which has new & interesting articles , product reviews experiments, photos. Can't say enough good things about this site as I have learnt everything I know about growing & constantly learning more, so thanks GWE & definitely check it out also the gromies on this site will help with helpful advice as well. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions 👍 happy growing😀 its a great hobby

@HIAZ_urbanbudfarmer, Thank you! Your setup looks great. I'm planning on doing an RDWC & scrog setup as soon as this grow is done. I really like the idea of having such control over the plant's environment. I'll be watching your current grow closely - I have a whole lot to learn!

I would flip these right now if you don't get another tent. Will double or triple in size in the first three weeks of flower.
TheConstantGardener
TheConstantGardener
@Phatbongrips, thanks - that's really helpful to know. I did just order another 4x4 and I've added air conditioning and insulation to my garage so I'll be able to keep them alive during the summer. I'm planning on applying organoshield because I read it's good to apply a preventative prior to entering the flower stage, then flipping to flower next week. I'm planning on growing 3 in each tent then, when this harvest is done, using one tent for veg and the tent with the much better light for flower. Any advice? Thank you!
