72 hour germination using the paper towel method. Sowed seed into soil on Feb 26. Sprout started to show March 2. 20% light intensity, watering every 36 hours. Glad to have such a successful germination!
I water around the plant, and then use a spray bottle to water directly under the plant. I upped the light intensity to 40%, watering every 36 hours.
So far so good!
Another week down. Continuing to water every 36 hours or so with plain water. Upping the light intensity to 60%.
I am also using my tent to grow my garden plants since it is still too cold to plant them outdoors, so there is a bonus picture for you all.
Another week with zero issues. Continuing to water every 36 hours with plain water.
She is almost ready for LST, which I will start when she is 12 inches tall.
I upped the light intensity to 80%.
Little white "hairs" are starting to appear on the plant.
Starting LST.
Continuing to water every 36 hours with plain water.
Upping the light intensity to 100% from this point.
She started really flowering this week.
Continuing LST, and likely will the entire grow.
I am holding back on the nutrients compared to last time. I am giving nutrients every other time I water, and now making sure the water is PH balanced.
36-48 hours between watering.
No sign of nutrient burn. Doing nutrients every other watering seems to be doing the trick. 36-48 hours between watering. 1 gallon of water total, or a bit less if by the time 80% of it is used, water starts pooling at the bottom of the pot.
I put up the net on April 9th. I will be positioning branches to try and grow as many even COLA's as possible. The center stem is in the upper left-hand corner of the first picture, so LST is still happening.
I made the decision to cut off a low branch. During the last grow, it wasn't able to ever get tall enough to be worth it, so I figured I may as well let other branches receive more of the plant's energy.
Happy 420!
Grow is going well. I noticed nutrient burn around the same time as the last grow, but it is not as severe.
I used no nutrients at all this week. Watered every 48 hours with ph balanced water.
Excess nitrogen seems to be the issue, I was wrong on my speculation on the last grow.
I am going to cut out the micro and gro nutrients since they add the most nitrogen. The cal-mag and bloom have all the nutrients she needs during flower.
I am trimming some of the leaves on the lower part of the plant, but I am holding off on lollipopping for a bit.
I made the right decision to cut out the Micro and Gro nutrients and to just her Cal-Mag and Bloom. She is flowering very nicely. The COLAS have a lot of crystals and getting red hairs.
Watering every 48 hours, and I gave nutrients every water.
She is continuing to flower nicely. I am trimming off leaves that no longer serve a purpose to the plant.
Continued to give the same nutrients. Watering every 48 hours, trying to keep the ph between 5.8 and 6.
She is extremely dank smelling to where opening the tent for 30 seconds to get pictures was enough to send the aroma throughout the house.
Last week giving nutrients, and then starting the flush with regular ph balanced water for another week or two until harvest.
She is getting less thirsty, and made it 72 hours without needing to be watered. Some leaves are starting to turn brown.
No more nutrients, just ph balanced water. Turned the light from 20/4 to 18/6.
In the COLA's I am seeing that they are milky, with a bit of amber.
I will likely harvest her next week.
Harvest time! I underestimated how much this one would yield since it didn't look as big as the first plant, but the wet yield is pretty close! 481 grams wet.
No nutrients, and I did a little over 24 hours of darkness before harvest.
I am going to let the buds dry for about 10 days, and then report back with the dry weight. If the wet and dry weight are the same ratio as before, then this harvest should be at least 130+ grams.
See you all in 10 days!
I have another seed germinating, so expect a new diary soon!
White widow max is very easy strain to grow. The high of the actual flower is mellow. It feels like a strain you can partake in at any time of the day. Great for partaking before a nice walk, or before bed.
105 grams! Great harvest. I think the buds may have dried out a bit more compared to the last batch since it was not a humid as my last harvest. It may weigh a bit more once it is cured.
Either way, this was a successful harvest!
