White Widow Auto Seedsman x2

Started grow room on 1/27/24, seeds began sprouting 1/29/24. Two White Widow Autos from Seedsman in the middle of week 7 (day 60) The taller phenotype is in pre flower and has ended stretching so I assume it's not only 1 factor that has prolonged its age to harvest. Both plants were infested with Gnats and brown mottling was present on fan leaves and side shoots alike. I also noticed slight webbing from whiteflies, however, I have resolved both pest issues with neem oil and allowing the grow medium to dry out. The skinnier and taller phenotype is displaying a phosphorous deficiency along with a small potassium due to the yellowing beginning at the old sites and the premature nature of its buds. The wider and bushier phenotype displays nitrogen deficiency and possibly sulfur too. I attribute the deficiencies not to a lack of the nutrients but a missing or weak microbial environment because of me not adding any Nutes. May switch to bottled Nutrients (Advanced Nutrients) to boost yields

Hello Cannabis Enthusiasts and Growers, White Widow Auto Seedsman update here. I Took these pictures on 4/2 through 4/6, Day 68 and nearly week 10, the Taller and skinnier phenotype is backtracked about 2 weeks in flowering growth, though has more green foliage and buds are beginning to fill out much more rapidly. The more bushy and wide phenotype has lost all fan leaves and nearly all the sideshoot leaves up to the 2nd/3rd node so i assume its losing more nitrogen as buds fill out and due to my use of bottled nutrients to help give them a boost, ill be flushing with ph'd water on both plants in the coming 11th week. Currently, I have stopped feeding it heavily and starting on day 72 i will stop feeding and begin to just use ph'd water. Both plants seem to have the gnat situation under control with the yellow sticky traps becoming a monument of death to all the other inhabitants in the soil LMAO. The buds themselves smell slightly peppery and with prominent notes of lemon and fruity tones with a wood accent like sandalwood. Both either had starved them of nitrogen, or ph fluctuated as i switched to bottled artificial nutes and may have caused the foliage to fall off and drop (common sign of nitrogen def). Though the buds are very densely packed with the calyx itself on both inflating gradually. The trichomes at this point on the bushier and shorter plant are 50% clear and 50% cloudy so not anywhere nearr a date i can pinpoint out for harvest and at this point am maintaining/defoliating leaves with 50% or more browning to preserve the amount of moisture & sugars in the plant. The taller phenotype has been pretty stable, though leaves on the bottom have nearly all fell off up to the 3rd node and the plant has compensated with luscious green foliage that's grown from side-shoots and taken over photosynthesis. Also to mention there is a new setup, I cleaned up a ladder and set the light up with my 2x4 tent set up around it in my room for the time being. The bleached bud that happened on the shorter plant has not increased and it has responded well to the taller light. The skinnier plant has had its arms shoot up about an inch in response and the top node has been filling out well assuming it didn't receive any direct light for nearly 3 weeks prior to the environment change I did on 3/27. I have an Oscillating 4' fan (AeroWave D4 from Amazon) on Level 2 so about 45cfm in between the plants moving hot air to the 200cfm vivosun 4' inline as my exhaust; the vivosun was a quick buy also from amazon, thought it is not adjustable and i'll say its worth it for assuming you must clean it after a grow because it does collect pollen, mold, dust. There are no fungal signs on either plant and no mold or mycelium forming on the soil unlike previous grows ive taken care of. Right now I am starting to sanitize equipment that ill need for drying and curing. Both plants have white clean roots and a compact root zone with the roots consuming nearly 70% of the soil or so and pushing perlite to the surface on the 5 gallon. The 3 Gallon (lankier and taller plant) has a dense and deep root zone and im assuming it will have a yield equal or higher to the plastic 5gal pot. Happy Grows everyone and ask me any questions or give advice i'd love to respond.
