White Widow Autoflower (Seedsman)

The White Widow took 3 days to sprout and a bit slow to come out of the ground once planted. I am growing this plant outdoors because I am quarantined at home due to the Corona Virus and I thought it would be fun to grow. I also garden (flowers and veggies)

New Update: PH Meter! I recently purchased a PH meter from the brand Apera. I began PHing my water at 6.3 PH. I water every other day and always check for pot weight as well as soil dryness. Thursday, May 13th: Today I began to Low-stress train the plant. She seems small compared to other diaries but she grows quickly. I started training early and I hope that will help shape the plant and minimize snapping the main stock as it matures. I am using garden twist ties and my anchor is a tomatoe cage (you can also use bamboo sticks, trellis or anything your heart desires!) Sunday, May 17th (Nutrient introduction): I began giving the plants a half dose of the recommended amount in the Nectar for the Gods sample kit feeding schedule. I am an entry to mid-level experienced gardener (veggies and flowers) and this is my first time growing marijuana. I have a conservative feeding approach for these plants and then I observe to work them to full dose. Here it is: 1/2 tsp: Medusa's Magic 1/2 tsp: Gaia Mania 1/2 tsp: Zeus Juice I am considering converting these into ml because it's easier to feed and split dosage more precisely. PH down to 6.3 with Hades Down.

This week was amazing for my plants despite having to spray insecticidal soap a couple of nights to get some control of whiteflies. I sprayed on two evenings to prevent the major spread and it stopped those bugs right in their tracks. May 23rd: - Discovered the beginning of leaf miners. I have my plants outside but I bring them into my garage at night. I like the peace of mind of knowing they are safe and I believe that is why they have had pests come through until now. if you are a gardener, try to keep your plants in a separate area with low risk of bugs and DO NOT visit your weed plants when you have been doing work in other parts of the garden. I am convinced I carried the leaf miners somehow because they attack my orange tree every summer which is on the opposite end of the house. LST- This method if working great. There is plenty of room between nodes on this plant so I an finding training it to be easy peasy. Watering- I am starting to notice the White Widow drying out quickly. I am thinking about watering once a day starting next week (but I am observing her to see if she needs it earlier than that). I water with tap water and leave it out for 24 hours to naturally de-chlorinate. I HIGHLY recommend you grow outdoors. The power of the sun is unmatched :)
