Seedsman White Widow Auto Soil Grow, in FoxFarms Ocean Forest Soil. Grown in 3 Gallon Aeration Pot. Seed Planted with no Germination. Sprouted Day 4. Growing with FoxFarm Nutes, Big Bloom, Grow Big and Tiger Bloom in addition to CaliMag and Hydroguard. No Nutrients in Week 1, only RapidStart. Will Start with 1/4 Dose FoxFarm and Full Doses of CaliMag and Hydroguard. Grow Tent is 2'x4'x5' Using 2 600W LED Grow Lights. I'll be making My First attempt at Mainlining in an attempt to Control Height n Ideally get a better Yield. We'll see how it goes.
End Week 2 into Week 3. She's Growing Fine. Topped Her at the Third Node and Defoliated everything under to Prep of Mainlining. No Nutrients yet but will be Starting at 1/4 Dosage with Full CaliMagic and Hydroguard.
End of Week 3 into Week 4. Started Mainline Training. Also Started Nutes at 1/2 Dosage with Full CaliMagic n Hydroguard. She seems to be Handling the Topping n Mainlining so far. We'll see how this Week Fares.
End of Week 4 into Week 5. As w New Grower n First Time Mainliner I can't say whether She's Suffering from the Stress but She's still Growing with no Physical Issues to Note. She's Started to Flower so it'll only be Defoliation from here on. Still Feeding Her at 1/2 Dosage Notes with Full CaliMagic n Hydroguard every other Watering. Not Sure what the Purpling on the Stem is but it happens to ALL MY Soil Plants. I've done some Research but She's Growing Steadily n I don't want to throw Her Off by just Testing a Bunch of Theories. Community Help would be Welcomed.
End Week 5 into Week 6. Still Growing with no Signs of Issue. Her Early Pistils are Extremely Long. Unlike I've seen in any other Plants. Accidentally gave Her the Feeding for another(more Mature) Plant so I'll be giving Her a Double Watering instead of just Flushing Her. Hoping the Overage won't be Shocking or Stressful n maybe even be Beneficial. Once I Feed again it will be Full Dosage.
End Week 6 into Week 7. Still Flowering, albeit Slowly. No Calyx Development but She's really Stretching. I can just Imagine how Tall She would be had I not Mainlined Her. She's Long n Branchy so I'm Interested to see what the Yield will be. Will be Adding Liquid Kool Bloom to Nute Feedings.
Into Week 8 and She's STILL Stretching. Hopefully She'll Stop soon Advertised Height is 120-250cm(47-100in) I Hope My attempt at Mainlining Her keeps Her Short enough to stay on the Smaller Tent. She's got Gangs of Bud Sites so Ideally that'll result in a Good Yield. Started Feeding Her at Full Dosage and Added Liquid Kool Bloom. No Adverse Reactions so We'll See how things Grow.
End Week 8 into Week 9. A couple more Inches of Stretching. Lights are at Max Height. She Grows much Taller She'll have to Relocate Tents. TONS of Bud Sites so Hoping for a Significant Yield. She's Growing really Slowly but with no noticeable Issues. Feeding Her at Full Strength Nutes every other Feeding. Trichomes just Starting to Appear on Leaves.
Start of Week 10 and DAMN She Grows Tall. I don't have Room in My Taller Tent so I had to try LST'ing Her. She seems to be Responding Fine but Boy does this Girl get Tall. She was over 2ft n still Growing even after the Manifold. Node Spacing is pretty Tight though so Bud Sites all over. I've tried Counting Sites n always Lose Count around 50. Still no Budding though. If She Produces Dense Buds She should be a Good Yielder.
End of Week 10 into Week 11. Still Growing Slowly but Surely. 70 Days into an Advertised 110 Day Growth Life so I'm not Concerned about Her Lack of Development, plus SHE'S STILL STRETCHING!!! She's Definitely Best for Outdoor Grows. Still Feeding Her at 1/2 Nutrients with Full CalMag Plus and Hydroguard every other Feeding and She's Feeding every other Day. She looks to be Growing Fine with no Issues to Note and TONS of Bud Sites so I have High Hopes for Her Final Yield. Fingers Crossed.
End of Week 11 into Week 12. I think She's FINALLY stopped Stretching. She's Fucking Huge. Her 2 Main Branches look like a Rollercoaster. Bumped Her Up to Full Nutrient Feeding every other Feeding.
End of Week 12 into Week 13. She's become the BBW of My 2X4 Tent. She nearly takes up the Entire Tent. I have 3 other Plants in with Her but She's the Definite Bully but She looks like She's going to be My Greatest Yield to Date. Bud Sites ALL OVER. She's Growing at a Snail's Pace but I'm Hoping She's well Worth it.
End of Week 13 into Week 14. She's still Developing Slowly but Surely. She was getting too Wide so I used Ties to Train Her Back Up. The Height given is at Her Tallest Point. She's starting to Develop a Fruity Sweet Smell. I'm getting more n more Anxious to see what She Yields. Seeing some Slight Nutrient Burn so I've started Watering Her Twice between Nute Feedings. Feeding at Full Dosage.
Not much to Update. Still Growing along n filling in. Still Watering Her every other Day with Note Feedings every 3rd Watering. Leaves are Yellowing so Hopefully She'll Ripen n Come Down soon.
Not much Update. Still Flowering. A lot of Leaves are Yellowing n Dying Off but She looks far off rom Harvest so I'm going back to Nutrient Feedings every other Feeding. Added FF Beastie Bloomz to see if it Helps.
Into Week 17 and I'm just letting Her take Her Time to do what She's going to do. Feeding Her at Full Dosage every other Feeding. Just Waiting for Bud Development.
@BigDaddyK, I'll look into that. Not very Cold at all. Never any more than a 3 Degree Fluctuation in Temps. She's Advertised at 120-250cm(4-8ft) so I don't think the Light Distance is an Issue. She's just a Tall Girl. Like I Mentioned Her Node Spacing is pretty Tight so I don't think She has any Stretching Issue. She was a Freebie from an Order I Placed So I didn't really Focus on Her Height but She's CLEARLY Best for Outdoors or a Really Tall Tent. Thanks for all the Input btw.
@growsmoke420,the way it has stretched , I bought a 600 watt unbranded from China and it did something similar - my advice get a cheap lux meter and stay about 35000 lux away, also is it very cold at night ? The difference from day to night will give stretching .
@BigDaddyK, they're Unbranded LEDs from China advertised as 600W and I'm using 2 of them. Suggested Distance was 18-31 Inches. One Plant I had Started to Burn when She got within 12 Inches. What makes You think the Light is too Far?
Hi man!
Find a way for encrease delta T between day and night temperature for a frosty lady! You can encrease day temp at 27-28 degree with an heater, or put down temp during night with more air flow! Then you will see snow on your cola!
Good luck man and happy growing!
great job, since u already switched to flowering, will you top again to finish the 8 or 16 cola manifold or you will try to maximize the yield out of these 2 branches, by LSTing them and exposing lower branches to light?
and how much you think you can achieve if you no longer top them?
@growsmoke420, mate i am on the same path as you are, i think we only learn with experiments like this.. definitelly eill be following as i plan to do similar job with my new girla. You can check my destination unkown where i implemented different strategies, mainline as well..
I wish you only the best and invite you to join our group chat on the kik messenger. You will get a lot of instant help from experienced growers, cheers mate :)
@WhiteWidow, no more Topping. Just some VERY Light Defoliation if Lower Growth gets too Shaded. Going to let Her do Her thing until Harvest. NO IDEA what to Expect Yield-wise as I'm still a New Grower n this is My First Time ever trying the Technique. My First Few Grows were Disappointing but I think I may have found a Stride. Got a Girl coming down Today(Best Grow so far) n I'll use Her as My Yield Expectation Marker.
