The plant grew nicely given it's 1 gallon pot and various irritations. The buds are beautifully covered in orange hairs and smell great. I'd say a nice 50/50 with the day and night strain. It definitely grew like an Indica to me, given it's short and stocky stature and it large fat fan leaves vs long skinny fingered.
I tried to make this grow under a time limit to reach the of the Exotic grow off. However I ended up being about 1 week off. If i had cut or initiated flower sooner it may have been able to harvest a week sooner and reach the timeline. I let the plant flower for roughly 9.5 weeks and i think i could've brought it down at 8 or 8.5, and I'm going to start using better lighting when getting my bud photos to help judge but also because they turn out so much more detailed and visible.
The plant was small being only a 1 gallon pot and short veg time. But the buds turned out crazy hairy, and smelled great. Exotic was definitely accurate about the Gypsy Widow being a fast flowering plant, I'll definitely try Exotic again but on a regular schedule. It was definitely a fun run trying to race the clock.
#1 lessons for this grow: use a calmag supplement regularly and always double check your ph pen is accurate.
*The single clone from this plant is alive and healthy, I'll try to grow that one out successfully soon. ✌️
Happy Growing and Harvesting everyone.
@BigDaddyK, thanks Daddy i appreciate your input. I decided to pluck the most damaged leaves and watered with the evaporated water today. With EC would that be the same as using my tds meter..or much different?
Nice frosty buds, did you harvest ? You are very good at cloning, I am going to try your technique because my results are not so good.
I think your leaf problems may be caused by over feeding. Seems like it got much worse after week 7, which had a dose higher than recommended on the Fox Farms feed chart. Usually even the recommended doses on the feed charts are too much unless you are outdoors or running really big lights. 1/2 to 3/4 of the recommended dose should be enough on a smaller setup.
Also not sure if your meter measures PPM or EC. If PPM, try EC instead. PPM has 2 scales, if the feed chart has one scale but your meter has the other scale you could accidentally have a lot higher PPM than expected. I go for a max of about 0.5-1.0 early veg, 1.5 late veg, 1.7 flower, gradually increasing the dose and monitoring how the leaves look.
@@smokenhike, thank you for saying so.... i love cloning, propagation and early veg are probably my most successful times. Flowering....meh not so much lol.
Thanks so much for the advice. I did harvest and it wasnt much but thats to be expected when you use a 1 gallon pot. My most recent grow i started giving more calmag and that's kept the symptoms much lower, and i started to do lower more frequent feeds and i think that's probably helping too. I think i have a ppm meter...but never tried to calc the ec ill try to figure it out.😊✌️
@EastOregonGrower, thank you. This ones stayed nice and green like it should. Lol i had a rogue diary going on and the poor plants are just hideous.
Definitely classic indica...which is funny cause they call this one a 50/50 split. Maybe the taste or high will be cause the plant itself definitely isn't. ✌️
@Puffer_Bill, i was thinking it may have blown in the open window...or it could have been in the soil. I probably should've let it go and then do a plant I'd on it...could've been a ground cover and stop the algae possibly.
