This is my first grow ever. I have six plants but I only wanna make a diary for my White Widows. I haven't trained them. I will see how it goes.By now I had no problems,the ladies are thriving well and just started to show preflowers..Still early though and I cant wait.Been trying to keep it organic. Started feeding organic nutes on week 4. I use Guanokalong,Bio Vega,Blood meal and an organic stimulator. My grow tent is in garage my and its winter,but I manage to keep an optimal environment.Thanks for watching Day 1 is 25/12/2019, Christmas Day

They have gained some height but still short and bushy. I regret for not having trained them.Maybe I will,I am not sure...They are growing good, all green and healthy. Day 35..yellow tips on new growth...I suspect a nutrient burn,so I will go down on nutes next time I water. They are starting to develop tiny white hairs,but still early for flower Gonna add some cal mag next watering,because I am growing mostly in coco and I think the ladies need it Day 37.. I foliar fed with Cal mag and phosphorus.Did it just before the lights went out.Today is watering day but I will not water because I felt with my finger the soil is still wet. Starting to think the yellow tips on 3 of my plants are a result of overwatering so I will give them some time to dry off Day 38... the foliar feeding left yellow spots on leaves.Today I watered using blood meal, Bio Vega, Guanokalong Grow and Cal Mag.Will never foliar feed again.I am a bit worried on how the new growth will be affected by this foliar nutrient burn Day 39...the white pistils are starting to show up...we are in preflower mode officially Day 40..white pistils grow more and more on both plants Day 41. Watering day and I used full power Nitrogen nutes to give them a boost during their stretching

This is week 6,still a veg week because i will treat the plants like they are still vegging,meaning I will not switch the nuts yet.We have a lot of white postils and they also got taller. We will enter the flowering mode next week. Now we continue with the same nutrients and waiting for the stretching to stop.. Day 42...the ladies are performing well. They seem to have recovered from the phosphorus overfert. Pistils are covering the stems slowly but effectively Day 43...we had a cold night and the weather gets bad. Its 9 30 in the morning and the temperature in the tent is 19 C... I hope it will raise, although I feel it will not harm my ladies....at noon I had to lower the lights as the temp were constantly down...Now I got 24 C...have to be cautious as I am playing with the limits.... Day 44...the lights are on three days now as temp outside are getting low and the only way for me to keep an optimal environment is to "play" with the lights distance.The girls are growing, they are well. Today I am not going to water as the soil is still wet. I am thinking about not adding any nutes this time...just to give a slight flush...I don;t have an EC meter which brings me to ignorance when it comes to what is happening in my soil... I only use organic nutes but I think it will be good for them to be flushed... Day 45...the lights are still on without a break and temps during the night in the tent ranged between 18 and 19 C...Today I watered with plain water,no nutrients...The girls are doing great...my only concern is the weather. Day 46...despite the cold the girls are getting taller...I flushed yesterday and next time I water I will add flower nutes...I am thinking about defoliating these girls as the fan leaves shade a lot of space on the lower parts... Finally I defoliated them,I hope I didnt take out too many as it was my first time. I took out huge fan leaves that covered the bottom and some others that I thought were sick.Time will tell Day 47...the temps got higher outside and in the tent everything is back to normal. My girls are doing all right and I am happy... Day 48...Watering day and the nutrients have been switched to flower mode...I used a chemical fertilizer called Gemma,its ratio is 5-10-45 and I added some aminoacids and extra phosphorus...hope I wasnt too large,as we say here in Greece.... See you tommorow with a new week

If you don't want a lot of popcorn nugs at the bottom of the plant I would definitely defoliate it's very beneficial to the plant, It shouldn't cause stress either, just take a few at a time and she'll be fine.

Day 49...We are entering flower mode,alreadu switched the nutes and now we play the waiting game...gonna defoliate sometime in the week... I am a bit worried cause I have a slight impression that the pistils on some branches are not so healthy...Could it be nute burn or the light too close?I will figure it out the next days.Next watering will be plain water and I have put the lights a bit higher Day 50...I can't understand if there is something wrong or not...I see the pistils on the main cola being a bit burnt but the rest of the plant is fine...time will tell Day 51...the girls look happy.I added a cheap led above them so now they got a little extra light.I watered with flower nutes today Day 52...😀😀😀😀😀 Day 53... did some light defoliation...the girls are fine and I think they are hungry for cal mag.will give them tommorow Day 54...watered with cal mag, amino acids, bloodmeal and phosphorous Day 55...😀😀😀😀😀😀...see u next week

Day 56...new week,the girls have got taller and pistils are everywhere but we have a long way still Day 57...watered with Gemma 5-10-45 and I think I overdosed the solution...The ladies will show me if I did... Day 58...no nute burn yet...I hope they will get their food and fatten up those buds Day 59...one of the ladies has yellow and burnt leaves on main cola...I was overzealous with feeding...I hope it will not affect the buds.I will be flushing next time I water Day 60...I watered with plain water Day 61...one of the girls is severly damaged by nute burn....I took my lesson as a newbie...I do not know if she will revive...😓 Day 62...waiting to see if the nute burn will affect the other plant as well...till now the healthy one showed no signs of stress or burn See You next week

New week... Day 63...watered with plain water.Buds are starting to form on both plants.A lot of the pistils have turned orange.I don't know if this is normal or another sign of nutrient burn...two last waterings included plain water and I am not sure if I should feed them again with nutes until harvest Day 64...the smell that comes out of these plants makes me crazy... Day 66...waterd with 1/6 dose of nutes...I have 2 weeks left I think Day 69...watered with plain water...the burnt plan has no trichomes and buds are like burnt...I think I will not get any yield from her.. we will see. see u next week!!!!

OK, week 10 is completed...70 days exactly...the last 2 weeks have been hard due to the nute burn...one of the two plants has lost trichomes and smell...the other is struggling to fatten up...I thin we have 2 more weeks.I will be giving nutes next time I water and the we start flushing.My yield is destroyed but I will not give up on them Day 72...begun to flush...just water for the ladies Day 74...SOS!!!!!!! The damaged plant has turned hermie ....There are sacks under the buds...NO balls inside my tent...I got it out and away from the other plants... That means I am left with one widow for this diary...and it is struggling...OK, we got only a few days left,let's go... Day 75...just water... I am very stressed and anxious...I have a little time left with one plant to harvest.... See u next week...

New week...i have started flushing and the countdown has begun Day 78...I choped a bud and let it dry to check potency DAY 82...I am totally disappointed...The girl lost its smell and the dried bud I tried tastes like shit... Its not a matter of curing... I am 100% certain that the nutrient burn affected the trichomes and the oils...This was my first grow and mistakes were deadly...However I have learnt a lot...I am gonna put that girl in darkness and chop her in 3 days...potency is medium I got a slight buzz but the quality of taste and smell are disappointing... I am responsible and not the breeder... KISS, keep it simple stupid, was right... Day 83...I chopped her down...will update when dried

OK, since you are seeing/smelling the difference, maybe it is too gone. My issue came as a case of 100% strength feeding. Did yours come to this state, because you were maybe feeding every watering? I would continue to flush, and maybe extend grow out another week or so, to let the plant use remaining nutes, from its internal structure. At that point it may start to get more CBD, depending on how your trichs are doing now. But it is better than bad tasting stuff. FYI, when you cure - - - > 3-5days to dry, then another days in a jar to cure properly.

After this disappointing but full of new knowledge first grow I cut down these girls...lots of pop corn buds,threw them away. I was really hard on these plants...I burnt them up with a cheap chemical fertilizer in week 10...the results were devastating but still this girl now that she is drying she smells a bit better and her high is a good one...I have tried buds that I had cut earlier and the buzz is a sativa one and concentrates on the mind...still more to come, I have to trimm deeper and cure these buds and I will update..my yield was small but it was expected after all the problems that I have caused
