So, my white widow i think is a real widow now, her freebie sister diesel automatic I believe has failed to germinate. So I am going back to a method I know has previously worked, a 12hr soak in ph corrected water followed by dark germination in a wet paper towel before being transplanted to a peat pellet and placed in final pot.
14th-15th Wow. 36 hours later she has germinated and formed a very healthy looking taproot. She has been planted in a jiffy pot/peat pellet, loosely covered and placed in a shallow hole in her final pot. So far good signs! Update when she breaches soil!
17th breached soil!!! She's a little toughie 💪some shell remained on seed, advised drop of water directly on it. 5 minutes later popped off.
18th watered with 500ml of plain ph corrected water
21st watered with 500ml of plain ph corrected water
She is planted in a fertilised substrate that lasts 7 days. So I will give her plain water for this week with ph correction and 0.5ml of calmag per 500ml of watering. This will be roughly every 3 days.
Day 10 (26thNov) watered 1L ph corrected water with 0.5ml calmag
Day 15 fed first 2l watering so 2ml of terra grow. Leaves are a little wavy due to being under intense light but she's sharing a grow space with a more mature lady so can't be helped. See how this lady responds to her first nute feed compared to my first grow as we experienced slight nute burn previously. Gave her .5ml less than I usually would.
Day 20 watered 2l with 2.5ml terra grow and 2ml calmag, leaf tucked.
Been busy with going on holiday and then christmas and new year she's huge, very little training left to grow un trained. She's starting to pack out and hit flowering a lot sooner than I expected but I'm happy so far with her growth week 6 ish
Can't belive how fast she's grown smells really nice, not many bud sites but interested to see yield compared to an lst'd plant but been very easy so far
Plant does not respond well to lst. The stems and branches remind me of bamboo very hollow and non flexible. Lst would have to be done extremely young before the stems start to harden. Lost a limb to very little pressure lst. Lesson learned. Stretched well produced lovely colas. Flavour was fantastic. Harvested early due to mold issues in the environment which have been rectified and the area sterilised. Didn't want to lose my plants to mold so harvested but could've easily gone another 2-3 weeks possibly. Over she was tasty. Very flavourful. Creamy. Strength was not bad. Overall she pretty much cared for herself. Fantastic from seed to harvest.
