the white widow plant is now to big for the greenhouse. let´s the how it will perform on the outside now. i just let it grow. only nutrient and no training or something.
she is doing really well. we are at the beginning of week 5. she is currently getting a lot of rain. but also enough sun and daylight. you can clearly see that she is preparing for the flowering phase. i have not used any growing techniques on her. just sunlight and fertiliser.
we are entering week 6. unfortunately the last few days have been very rainy. heavy showers at times. but the plant has survived. two thunderflies are sitting on it and a small spider has built a nest out of one of the small leaves.
i found 1-2 small black insects, i hope they are not aphids!?
i think it has now entered the flowering phase.
Looks like black aphids and some sort of predator fly. maybe a lacewing as they eat aphids.
Most aphids can be blasted off with a jet of water from the hose they don't latch on to hard. Do this in an area where they fall off they can't easily walk back to the plant, Then apply a soapy water mixture, let it sit on for a few min and rinse off, dry plant in the shade and the bugs will be gone. They can come back but hopefully not in any crazy numbers. Pesticide is also an option but I don't like that when its starting to enter flower. predatory bugs are also good, but when the plants get super sticky they can also get stuck in them.
Good Luck!
we have the second week of flowering behind us. the plant grows a good 10 cm a week. i have removed the large leaves. unfortunately the german summer is a long time coming. we sometimes only have 8 degrees at night. lots of rain. i hope it's not too much stress for the plant. because of all the rain, it only gets fertiliser every two days at the moment.
we are entering the 8th week and the 3rd week of flowering. she is no longer going up. the buds are getting thicker. i have cut off a few large leaves. she is doing really well. no parasites or diseases to be seen. so far i am very happy with her. very robust
the 9th week. it's slowly starting to smell. but it's a really faint odour. the trichomes are starting to turn milky and the pistils are changing colour. i think it will be ready for harvesting in 1 to 2 weeks. it still looks very healthy. i hope the next few weeks will be really sunny again. unfortunately it's very changeable weather at the moment
she is doing really well. the buds are getting thicker and the smell is also getting a bit more intense. unfortunately it rained a lot last week and the humidity was very high. i hope that no mould has formed in the budss. the next week will be really sunny and she should still enjoy it. and i think i will harvest her in a week's time.
unfortunately the week didn't go as planned. i discovered mouldy spots on her and decided to harvest part of her earlier. the mould hadn't progressed that far yet, so it wasn't a huge loss. i harvested a total of 101g wet. let's see what the rest of the plant will bring on the scales? from the state of flowering she will certainly need another good 2-3 weeks or even longer, let's see. but she coped well with the partial harvest.
after i had to harvest a part of it last week because of mould, the rest of the plant is growing and thriving really well. there is no further mould so far. however, i have moved it out of the constant rain and it is now standing under a roof. maybe i will harvest the rest next week. it also doesn't get as much fertiliser.
what a performance. at the beginning she grew in a greenhouse. due to the high temperatures and not so much sunshine, she grew very fast. i had to put her outside at some point. there she continued to accelerate. but then she stopped at 110cm and started to produce side shoots and buds. unfortunately, the german early summer was very mixed and it rained a lot. i had to harvest part of the plant early because of mould. the rest followed 2 weeks later. all in all, i am very happy with her performance outdoors.
it actually behaved exactly as indicated by the breeder. a bit of a shame that it was so humid in germany and it got mouldy. but otherwise it was very resistant. a beautiful and easy to grow plant. a classic
@Phinolagreen, danke. :) ich bin recht zufrieden mit dem ergebniss. ohne schimmel und mit mehr sonne wäre bestimmt noch mehr bei rum gekommen, aber für die bedingungen hat sie sich gut geschlagen.
First off growing cannabis is a great hobby to take up if it is legal for you to do so.
Cannabis is relatively easy to grow it all really boils down to light and water and how much of each. So first let’s address the subject of light, cannabis loves it and a lot of it. I think 16 hours is not enough light for cannabis in vegetative stage, 18 hours for photo period’s and 20 hours for autoflower’s. The type of light is also very important it must carry the correct spectrum’s for the plant to able to preform the process of photosynthesis. For this reason your plants need light rich in blue(430-500nm range) best for vegetative growth red(640-700nm)best for flowering. A full spectrum light will cover all needed spectrum’s for all stages of growth and is a good choice for growers who to want to worry if their plants are receiving the correct light spectrum.
(Feit Electric LED 32 watt adjustable spectrum 8 inch round clamp style light) will cover all growth stages of cannabis with the optimum light spectrum. I love this light, I have four of them.
Now let’s address watering. Light and water go hand in hand, the more light, the more water. Caution ; most problems arise from overwatering. People see their plants look a little off so the first thing they do is water them so a day or two later they see the plant not looking any better and think water it must need more water. NOT!!! Check the soil! Is it dry? If in a pot pick it up , ask yourself, is it light when you lift it up. If the answer to those two questions is yes then go ahead and water them, if you have to ask your is that dry , or is that still a little heavy wait a day as cannabis benefits from being a little dry between waterings. One day without water will not hurt your plant and may even help it become stronger overcoming a little stress. Too much water will cause root rot and say goodbye to that plant.
There are more factors to consider when it comes to watering, i.e. pot size, type of soil temperature,humidity ect.
Ph. Let’s not forget about the ph level. Oh,ph ph ph can’t say enough about ph levels. If your ph is off I will guarantee your plants will be off as well. If you’re growing cannabis and not checking the ph level,START! Your grow will thank you.
For soil; 6.0-6.8
Hydroponic; 5.8-6.3
Hope any of this will help with bigger and better grows
