Happy Spring everyone.
I was fortunate to get a package from Exotic Seeds and decided I'd try and do a time limit grow. I began this diary with 81 days on the clock for the Exotic grow giveaway and have never tried doing a grow under specific time restrictions. I saw that the Gypsy Widow has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks and figured that would be my best bet.
Originally I had thought about doing a 12/12 technique but after reading that plants couldn't really flower sooner than 3 weeks i decided to use the couple weeks veg time under an 18/6 to let it get as big as it's able before flipping it.
I soaked the seed for about 12 hours and then transferred to the paper towel method and then into a small cup of fox farm soil. I'm realizing that I have better success with their soil vs the local brand i had a attempted recently.
That first 24 hours of growth after the seed breaks soil is so exciting, i love watching it do so much growth in a short time. Hopefully the plant will be as healthy and strong as this first week through the whole grow.
Happy growing and harvesting to 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.
