Strain
This White Widow Auto from Crop King was a great strain to grow! She was resilient to environmental stress and heat and yielded a huge amount in the minimal amount of space I had! I had originally planted four seeds but unfortunately only 3 made it. I decided not to plant another seed because the others were already a couple weeks ahead. This white widow grew about as long as most photo period plants so that might have helped with the yield.
I grew these three White Widows in a Stealth Box which is only 20inx20in and about 30in tall. It comes equipped with a quantum board full spectrum 100w LED light. I remember posting this grow box on a couple forums and Reddit. Mostly everybody said that this box was too small and I’d be lucky to get 2-3oz even under the best conditions. I’d say that I proved them wrong at 7.57oz 😂 The two smaller plants yielded 55g each and the largest gave 100grams! That puts my avg gram per plant around 70g. If the fourth plant had survived I would have been in the 10oz range which is insane for growing in 3.24 square feet and only having 27in of room between the top of the pot and the light!
The medium I grew these in was from a boutique brand in Colorado called Miller Soils. I went with their Red’s Premium Bio Char Blend which was a great choice. I was very impressed with how well balanced this soil was. I’m a big believer in BioChar and these guys got the ratio dialed in on this one!
I used the Advanced Nutrient organic line which did not disappoint! I have really started to become a big fan of these liquid bottled nutrients. The people over at AN really make a high quality product!
To dry these girls properly I hung them for 3 days and then transferred individual stalks into the WeDryer for 3-4 days.
I used the Diamond Cut Co. “The 6-5” scissors to trim these girls and I was very happy with how well these scissors cut and trimmed buds. There is really no play/space in-between the blades. The scissors have a nice weight to them as well and the spring isn’t too powerful so these trimmers really don’t make my hands fatigued after a couple hours of trimming like some of the $5 trimmers can. The 6-5 has a fine needle point tip which was great for getting into all of those tight nooks and crannies. What was great is that the blades also seemed to stay sharper and less gunked up than my other scissors.
Overall I’m happy with how everything turned out!
