Didn't take many photos this week, sorry ya'll.
The plants did however get transplanted into 5g smart pots from their previous 3g smart pots. They adjusted very quickly with little to no shock. I also added a CO2 bag!
Last week of veg, I'm excited toflip to 12/12 and watch the transition.
I figure I could have flipped a week or two earlier but I've got the space so I figured why not go a bit longer!
Almost a full week into flower and what a difference already! The screen has really filled out and the girls are reaching for the sky!
Going to keep on weaving the tops through the screen as they grow and allow such things. 3 more week and then I'll start adding some nutes! They seem to be loving the Fox Farms Happy Frog soil, and I think I've got my water res stabilized in the low 6's. Good days indeed.
Can't wait for the tent to stink up... =)
Hi @Aw3sumpossum! Mold is one of the worst enemy when entering late flowering stage, but I see you're fine with your relative humidity. Pay attention to your feedings, you want to slow down on N and slightly increase P and K during the next weeks, it's easy to burn a flowering plant especially with Nitrogen. Otherwise you're doing absolutely fine, so keep up the great work and good luck until the finish line! Happy growing 👊
Week 8 is off to a good start, the girls are stretching out more and more every day. I was able to tuck a few more tops under the screen as well! Buds are starting to take form as Pistils shoot out from all over!
I just got back from a week long trip out to the west coast, I left the grow in my roommate's hands. She took decent care of the girls, and I came home to relatively happy plants! Today is also the first day of some real feeding, as these plants have been in this FoxFarms soil for around 4 weeks now. I'm starting the nutrients off at 1/4 strength, and will plan to feed every second day depending on how they react!
White Widow runoff water tests at 2440 PPM, but seems happy still and is only showing very slight signs of burning. This still seems extremely high, so I've backed off on feeding for now and watered with some Cal Mag. Should I wait for the PPM to drop or keep feeding her at 1/4?
She still looks happy, so i would keep it at 1/4 nutrients or less and see how she responds. If she continues to burn or shows any deficiences, then do a quick flush to reset the PPMs and the root zone. You could have a lockout issue if you start seeing a deficiency. Happy growing !!🍀🍀
The plants took very well to the two feedings at 1/4 strength last week. However after getting myself a TDS pen and measuring I discovered the Sour D at 1710ppm and the White Widow at 2440! The Widow seems very happy still, however I've decided to air on the side of caution and back off on the feedings for now. I'm still adding 2ml of Cal-Mag with my daily waterings to try and correct what I think is a slight deficiency.
The buds are starting to frost up, and they're really developing a nice fragrance. For the first time a few days ago, my hands were sticky after my routine inspection! Incredible how such a difference can occur literally overnight. I'm excited to see what this week has to bring!!!
Things are moving right along. All plants are now showing signs of nutrient burn, so I've backed off completely with feeding, even the Cal-Mag. Just straight water for this week, we'll see how she recovers. If the burn gets worse I'm thinking about flushing it as a precaution..
Very excited to be in week 5 now, I should be about half way done for both strains in the tent.
I'm thinking that I'm realistically closer to week 7 than I am 6.. I've started watering to runoff more frequently, and now the White Widow's are showing more signs of burn. I'm thinking since I didn't mix any Perlite with the soil, it's made it more difficult to water to run off on a regular basis without over watering. Because of this, I feel like the nutes that I did add earlier in flower built up near the bottom of the pot. Now that I'm watering to run off more often, and the roots are go deeper, I feel like they're now getting all those nutes at once.. Maybe?
So, if I am indeed in week 7 of flower, is it too soon to think about flushing in the next 5-10 days??
I think I'm closer to week 7 of flower than I am 6, debating if I should flush.. The girls leaves are slowly burning down the sugar leaves closer to the bud, so I'm wondering if it's too early to flush.. Everything looks pretty good other than that, I think..
If your at the end of week 7 I'd start flushing. Depending on how aerated your soil is and how frequently you water you'll need at least a week to flush. Typically I aim for 2-3 water flush (PH at 6.2) with a runoff every time and my stuff burns white just like it should.
Into week 7 and I'm noticing the buds are getting a lot more dense and physically filling out, the Sour D especially. WW#1 is starting to take on purple hues in the leaves, I'm not sure if it's because I'm dropping the temperature and moving the lights away gradually, or if it's part of the nutrient burn, but they're hanging on regardless.
I'm going out of town for work at the beginning of next week for about two weeks, so I'm going to flush this weekend and have my girlfriend water with plain PH'd water for the two weeks I'm gone and hopefully when I come back I can harvest!!!
I'll get them to send photos and keep the updates coming.
I've been sent out of work at the worst possible time, for 2-3 weeks. To the Canadian Arctic nonetheless.
So, my girlfriend is in charge of the final few weeks, I'm hoping I can make it to harvest.
Flushed the plants 6 days ago, and they're really starting to change color quickly now.
Very happy to finally have a successful harvest under my belt. Both White Widow plants have come down, just waiting on the Sour D to finish now!
No idea of wet weight, hoping for around 1/4 - 1/2 lb total, but more concerned with quality than weight.
All in all I'm just happy I made it to harvest.
