White widow redux in soil?

@BeefWellingtons, I’ve found my digi meter to be unreliable at times as well. Too lazy to recalibrate so I’m kickn it old school now!👍. Grows lookn good brotha!

@TheBudWhisperer, well he is a good friend and a smart person, so that's why I was upset...he even told me my sour stomper was 'fire', which I agree, that shit was/is fire. So my worry us that he doesn't think I have the skills to recreate 'fire', which I know I can do. I will try to guide him soon on the transplant, and we will see how they go from there. I think I'm going to start the grow (I have pics and notes from their first week) and update that on here if possible.

@BeefWellingtons, lol! Then that’s when u gotta step out and not sugar coat it! Threaten ‘me with the bitch slap if he don’t start listen’n! 😂

@TheBudWhisperer, I guess my issue is he asked for instructions which I gave him. Then he just did his own thing, which was damaging the plants.

@TheBudWhisperer, well all cards on the table, that other grow was in hydro, which would have finished earlier, but like I mentioned I did a crap ton of defoiliating and bending colas, it was a stressed plant for sure. I'm guessing 2 weeks out from now.

@BeefWellingtons, now that was a good idea with the lower strength feed. If last run was 15 weeks it’ll be interesting to see where this one finishes. Got some WW gems on the way in the mail myself😎

@TheBudWhisperer, I gave them a 1/4 strength .7 gallons of h20 and nutes this morning. Next watering will begin the 7-10 day flush. I did check them out and I know I'm beyond 7 days for harvest. My other ww took 15 weeks and I did a lot of breaking stems and defoiliating. With this one being minimum stress, I'm pretty sure 2 weeks out will be perfect.

@Valentino1sttime, almost the same size plants, lol

@Valentino1sttime, well true watts for this led is like 183, so I think we are close.

@MaryJaneUSA, true true. All I can say is that I think I've got an good drying/curing process down now as the aroma is coming back and hay smell/chlorophyll is diminishing.

@BeefWellingtons, remember, it’s quality of the smoke. Not the quantity! We only get better as we move along...

@MaryJaneUSA, I think if they read my diaries they would demote me, lol.

@BeefWellingtons, if that’s the case and it’s previously demonstrated itself to be a resilient strain then IMO it might be worth a shot to increase bud production elsewhere. I’d do a little at a time every couple days over this week or so if u do pull the trigger and cut em. If it’s not a short finisher then I’d say that this week is the hard cutoff to do it. I generally try not to touch my plants (save light pruning) after end of week 3 flower. Hope it helps dude👍👊

@TheBudWhisperer, I believe I am 3 weeks out. Based on my first grow of ww. That took 15 weeks but had a lot of defoiliating and supercroped tops. So at least 3 weeks out imo. I will know better in 2. I was just not sure if it will help with flower production or just end up elongating my grow and adding a couple of weeks to harvest. I expect this harvest to be some time after week 12.

@BeefWellingtons, Hey man - whatever you think is gonna work best. I'm a big proponent of making your grow your own and we only learn from respective experience👍. How much water you afford the plant is often based on what stage of it's growth cycle it's in. In your case, this girl is in the stretch/transition phase and as such, she's gonna start gulping down water generally faster than she did in veg. soon. Regarding runoff - the rule of thumb is between 10-20% every watering, whether it's coco or soil. Not only does it allow you to test the ph of what was in the medium (if you have something to collect it in), it also ensures that you run through the new nute water completely and (hopefully), flush out the lingering old stuff. With soil, and at this stage, I would probably try running a full litre or more on it and see what ends up coming out the bottom. When you have a decent amount of runoff, say .1 - .2L then ur good. It really is beneficial to the plant's growth. Now keep in mind, this won't solve your issue with watering every 4-5 days. if you're watering properly (and I think you are minus the runoff point), then the plant needs what it needs, when it needs it. 3 days or 5 days - it's up to the soil and the plant brother. This is what soil is supposed to do anyway - it has it's own nutrients built in for the first few weeks and it holds on to nutes that you give it too. You have two options on that front. #1 amend your soil with more purlite - like 2/3 perlite and 1/3 soil. She'll drain quicker and dry out faster if you want to stick to a more frequent nute sched. Or you could try coco & perlite on a 50/50 mix - it's got excellent drainage and good nute holding properties. Essentially the same thing as soil, only it drys out quicker and is completely neutral in terms of nutrients which allows you to dictate what it gets and when😉. Coco absolutely requires you to water through whereas soil is a little more forgiving. IMO- ur kinda stuck with whatever sched. the soil allows for given the current environment. Shitty and unfixable answer, I'm sorry. But also understand that I just got stoned and went off on this response! Cheers homie and happy Friday! Whatever you decide, I'm watching with interest! PEACE!👊

@TheBudWhisperer, I did supercrop a couple of my colas on my first grow, about 4 or 5 weeks into flower, freaked me out to do it. I thought about it with this one, but it looks like if I pull her to the wall, she will get more light coverage and still be far enough away from light so she won't get cooked...that way no supercrop will be necessary. So the other thing I want to ask is how much runoff do you recommend? I just put the liquid in the pot and that's it. I do about 20-25% of the total volume (3 gallon), or .7-.9 gallon per feeding, but like you said it takes way too long to dry out and doesn't allow enough nutrients to be fed as often as I'm sure she needs them?

@MissBling, the colas really pop out for this strain, even if it takes a few weeks longer.

@TheBudWhisperer, yeah, this one is going to be good

@WillyWonka, you are on your way to happy plants!

@@cylentknight, it's my favorite so far. Handles heat and nutes well too
