Something new i am trying out with this strain now that I have a Media History. White Widow in a Aeroponic Deep Water Culture environment. we will see firsthand what media does it best with less effort, Container is filled with 5-6 gallons of Nutrient Solution to be changed once every second week. Already cut my RO flow by half with less trips to the faucet i have more time for my girl. Enjoy the grow Bud Tenders.👌😎
It must be noted that this White Widow was kept in a low T5 environment for a period of 11 weeks or so. So no pics of the early days lol.💪

Another glorious week with the new system, getting the RO water is less a challenge than the Soil or CoCo with previous grows and soo much better than feedings of 2 or more gallons every other day. She seems to be coming out of the shock mode as some stems are changing back to green from deep purple. Some new growth has started to appear so that's a good sign 😎
Nutrition will be doubled on the next Nutrition Change out in 7 days. So far! All variables are under control. I like the fact I can turn the tap and check accurately and adjust if needed unlike soil unless you are using a soil kit all the time.
I have notice a few drips coming out of the unit but not much to be concerned with. Pump work 15 min intervals pumping Nutritional spray. 2 different Air flows 1) in solution with air stone and 2) open wand spray inside directed at the roots to provide additional oxygen.

Started to add weighted wire to the branches mid week to bend them downward and it is working nicely. I am manufacturing some New Scrog system to go along with My Aeroponic system that the lid and plant can be lifted together while the scrog is attached if I need to service the pump should there be a breakdown. My old girl White Widow is the best I've seen her in 2 past grows I'll be looking to flowering her in the next few weeks. She looks so good i am salivating and need to go roll her mama around in some paper and smoke her right now lol. 😎
Looks marvelous, nice and green and not a burn anywhere. Been having a few pump malfunctions due to defective part, but a new one is on the way. The root system is very cool. looks like a very long and thick pony tail twisted going over the pump and into the Nutes. been having to keep a closer eye on the solution levels and adding a few gallons as needed. Going to back off on the spray schedule to every half hour and spray on for 15 min but only during the night stage. Been also keeping a daily record of activities and variables in Excel as this site you can't do it. Thanks for following me on this journey.😎

She is doing good, drinks a lot of juice to the tune of a gallon or so a day. I'm going to add some washers or nuts to tie downs to pull down the branches rather than tie downs secured to the unit. decided to not use my new Scrog as it still needs some mods done to it. The root system is massive now so I have increased the water level to 9 gallons from 6. The alternate spray time adjustment is working out nicely.

Well I seem to be having an issue with this White Widow. i believe it was nutrient lock but could be mag or Phosphate deficiency. i changed the Nutrients and brought down the PH to 6.10 from 6.3. the nutrient level was close to 1800 PPM she now sits at 718 PPM after the drain and fill. i will add some Cal-Mag if she doesn't respond to the refill in the next few days.

This White Widow is been having a few issues Which are now cleared up as she moves into the flower stage of her growth. She shows signs of her struggles. I'll give her a trim and go from there. Her root system is large and healthy so far.😎
13-10-2019
Still having issues with this plant . have added some more Cal-Mag with the flower Nutes. Hopefully this helps Not sure if she will recover but time will tell. introduced a better air pump also.
16-10-2019
She is coming around and starting to flower with some new growth. By George i think she'll make it!
20-10-2019
White Widow is coming around buds are growing larger and she is responding well to her pampering. Added some Power to Bloom and will mist some UMP in 4 days😎
28-10-2019
She is looking better all the time buds are packing up slowly but she is rather small compared to the others. starting to trim the small crap at the bottom.
Into week 5 of flower and it's time for a change out of the Nutrients and add some Fresh RO water and Power To Bloom followed 4 days later with some UMP. She is bouncing back just nicely and now takes on more feedings so running the RO water has been a daily task. She looks good and producing well.

White Widow hidden in the back is finally starting to blossom, She is a little skittish of that big Purple bitch beside her but she is trying to make a go of Budding up so to speak.
17-11-2019
This strain i have been running now for a year and always different, she seems to be stack well but a lot slower growth than the Purple Kush but also half the size. The Kush is a Monster lol😎
24-11-2019
Week 8 of flower She is coming along slowly, buds are smaller than past grows because of the issues i had earlier seems to have stunted her a bit. The smell is getting stronger so the addition of an Ozone Generator(Air Tiger) is going every 2-3 hrs for a few minutes to keep things in check. Had to pipe this to the outside.😎

Hiding in the shadows this girl is smaller than i had expected . she should still produce some nice smaller hard buds. this is the last of this strain. another 2 weeks and I will be cutting more than a Pine tree this year. lol😎

Into week 10 of flower, Buds are small but firm, I used the cage to tie up to and it seems to help somewhat. she has a lot more light than previous due to the passing of Northern lights** Changed out the nutrition one last time before flush starts in the next week or so. still no change No amber or cloud yet but soon i am sure. stay tune. harvest is coming!
16-12-2019
Started the flush cycle and slowly she is turning. buds are firm but not rock hard. Some small corn buds but at this point I am happy i made it through and looking forward to Christmas trimming.😎
23-12-2019
Final week of flush as the Trichomes are slowly turning amber. Not the best White Widow i've grown but she slowly bounced back from her High PH and PPM count to offer up some bud. She is a little stunted for sure but most of the bud is hard unlike the Northern I grew and harvested earlier.
24-12-2019
Harvest Started. Buds are semi hard to hard. The trim setup worked well surrounded by friends. 6 hr light on cycle Done on Christmas Day 12:01AM now total Darkness Until the 26th and the real fun begins with a Huge Purple Kush😎💪
I did run into a few complications that hampered the grow.The 2 P's came into play on this one. PPM and PH I also had an issue with the pump art first but that was corrected quickly. I will grow this strain again in the future😎
