It's day 74 and they are all hurtling towards the finish line.
I thought I'd show you just how big the White Widow is compared to the others.
The picture shows clockwise from top left and also in decreasing height...
White Widow XXL, Blue Amnesia XXL, Glueberry OG and Night Queen.
I strapped on the macro lens so this week is all about trichomes....
Something weird was going on with The Widow....
Up until this week, I wasn't seeing as much trichome loading as the others.
She seemed to have stalled and her leaves were going yellow, while the Blue Amnesia was still (mostly) green and swelling up.
I wasn't seeing much new bud growth, the pistils were turning orange, but not much in the way of new flowering, no new white pistils. She was drinking a good 7-8 Litres a day though.... maybe a tad less than the Blue Amnesia....
I was in a dilemma....
- do I up the EC.... she's a big girl with big needs, yellowing leaves, drinking well, reduced bud growth and delayed trichome loading......
or
- do I lower the EC..... slight brown tips on some leaves, the run off was a higher EC (1.4) than the feed (1.0), maybe she was locking out?
I decided to lower the EC on Friday, and today's pics surprised me.... there was some increase in trichome action, but I want more....
Thank you for sharing that Diary with us... its very detailed and good to read. I like it if you share your thoughts .. maan..... Coco-coir growing at its finest........Chapeau
Thanks for your kind words @Mrs_Larimar, I'm pleased you enjoyed my Diary, I can't wait to get all this bud cured so I can do a smoke report and enjoy the fruits of my labour!
DZamn!! I've got two XXL Amnesia autos going in a 4*4 with 4 other pots -- I am gonna be pushing my walls out!!
I love your detail! Looks great! What size room/tent are you in?
.
Good luck through the finish!
@Benji, thanks for posting mate. I use a 1.4m x 1.4m wide 2m high tent.... usually grow 4 in a go, all in 20L coco airpots. Sounds similar to your set up!
You better get the chainsaw ready, I've just finished this grow, and the posts are coming soon.... you'll see what Dinafem mean when they say XXL!
All the best!
Your 2 diaries are inspiring - I had no idea autos could yield like that! Amazing.
Are you happy with the Skyline 400? I'm thinking of getting a couple - already have two Telos 008 lights and I need four lights in total. Thought it would be good to source from a couple of different manufacturers, rather than four the same. The Telos 008 lights are great though. Would love to know how you have found the Skylines (although pretty obvious from those yields!!!)
