The initial plan was to start a rotation so that there would be a harvest every couple of weeks, but due to......... nevermind unimportant.
going to give her more room and re pot

She has spent most of her 5 weeks under An Arcadia +10% UVB 4ft Reptile light, through a mixture of necessity and experimentation.
I wanted to try and shape her from the beginning using last.
As you will find throughout most of my diaries my grows will be botched together mainly for financial reasons with a sprinkle of experimentation and going against the norm.
I think she is very under grown for her age but that could just be the newbie in me.
She will be going into the customised grow tent / wardrobe once her older purp haze sister has finished and will be interesting to see the change if any

Shes been under a 4ft Reptile UVB tube light in a tent consisting of a bed sheet and a strip of foil blanket for most of her life which I'm pretty sure has either slowed her her autoflower cycle or stunted her growth. either way shed proving an interesting experiment and a learning curve.
her sisters are taking up the "official grow wardrobe" but should free up space soon.
I'm still looking forward to seeing the change, if any when she hits the LEDs and wonder which of the above will pan out to be the truer?
I hope it's a delay thing because that can leave

I finally got her under the grow light (£1 standard led bulb customised) and in the cupboard. 4 days in and theres a definite change.
she has been under a Reptile UVB light nearly her whole life, which has either slowed down the auto side of her or dwarfed her but only time will tell but its exciting none the less.
I'm still learning LST so I may be a bit over zealous but again time will tell.

As you can see the change under better lighting conditions and no longer under the Reptile light uvb she has started to flourish.
I've read that blue light is used by the plant to help rooting so it will be interesting to see see her root structure after being under uvb for so long.
She's a strong girl and probably I need to learn my LST technique a lot more as she's broken free.
She's had a fair old rough ride as I've tried to pin her down.
I'm50/50 as to whether or not to take away the big fan leaves.
1 or 2 lower leaves are browning but she seems healthy otherwise, so could just be nothing?

This week I learnt that she is a strong girl.
I accidentally snapped her, but she seems fine. (I've become a fan of super cropping anyway)
She's just started her stretch in flowering, the uvb for almost 10 weeks of her life seems to have slowed autoflower cycle with no adverse effects if not a little stunted.
One thing is for sure she can take a beating!!

not touched anything really. I'm leaving the snap to heal, which is coming along nicely.

The snap-in her stem is healing well as I knew it would. I super cropped another branch to help shape her and give room to the bud sites to start stretching.
Also touched back any bigger fan leaves

What a little beauty this girl is turning out to be.
The knuckle were snapped up by accident is healing well as we knew it would.
You can see in some of the pictures her shape under side from the original LST (what a battle, shes strong alright!)
Done some final super cropping to shape her, which is more to do with space in the grow cupboard then anything else.
trimmed a few dying lower leaves not getting any light, shes never been topped
She's on left in picture, purple haze auto on right.

This girl has had one hell of a life so far.
She has been clumsily broke and snapped as well as spending the first half of her life under a uvb light.
A few weeks ago I did a couple of super crop snaps to help shape her in the cupboard she is in which have healed well
I've Taken a few leaves that were dying because lack of light at the bottom.
And then just tucked away any leaves that are blocking bud sites.
I prefer to tuck them away rather than crop as I see the plant uses them in the last push of her budding life.
That's just my personal Theory, no evidence to back it up.
my first White widow, I love the colours on her and the bud sites all the way up the stems.

Normally I could have grown two plants in the time it's taken to grow this girl so far.
The UVB has denifinately slowed her autoflower process with what appears to have zero effect later to any budding. If anything budding looks very good for her size footprint.
Her rooting structure will certainly be interesting after so much UVB.
It would be interesting to see how a girl would fair under UVB during budding? Something I'll give a go at another time.
This week I've trimmed to clear bud sites and any small buds below the canopy that are too small to good enough buds. Something which I should have done a bit sooner.... but we learn for next time.
Shes just on water now until harvest
Only natural nuits (Veg water from cooking etc) when they are available.
Some pistols are turning brown and orange from the creamy white they have been so shes on her final push to glory.

Lush looking buds on this girl, the orange so prominent in the bud.
I've really enjoyed the journey we've been on together.
Just got to be patient.

I opened the converted wardrobe door and the first colour I thought of was Orange sovI knew it was time.
I did a lot of experimenting throughout the grow, trying to find my own technique and this girl has been a great help.
Its my biggest haul to date ooking at it altough I can't weigh it without seriously messing around so l just weigh when dry.
