Another big week in the garden, I'm finally starting to realize that I've got no idea what I'm doing. The plants are taking well to the transplant and must have grown over 5 inches this week. The humidity in the grow room hit 85% so I finally got the exhaust fan hooked up to bring things back down to 45-50%
Starting to get some pre-flowers, I was able to see some pistils on two of the plants. I really can't tell the calyx apart form a pollen sack yet, so most of the plants are still unknown.
Also decided to top this week, so I cut about 5" off each plant, something I've been planning to do all along. I really should have done this a couple weeks ago. Even after taking so much off the top the plants are still 7-14" tall! Really need to switch to flower soon.
After topping I went ahead and planted the cuts in some peat moss along with some rooting hormone.
My current plan is to switch to 12/12 in 5-7 days and possibly start some LST in the next few days.
Sup Mynk, here to see how that Skunk works out for you. Best of luck on the grow!
Also, not sure how white the paint is on your growspace walls, but you can pick up some cheap mylar sheets or panda film to supplement, if you find it's not as reflective as you'd like. Just a head's up!

Thanks @beanbean! The skunk popped in 24h, really happy how well most of the seeds have started.
I was looking at that panda film, but the white paint made such a huge difference I think it will be ok for now.
@BigDaddyK, yeah I need to get that under control. Currently I'm moving my plants to a sink and have been letting them drain, but the 7 gallon bags took a lot longer to drain than I expected. Thanks for checking out my grow
@OldCoolSativa, yeah I've never seen this much weed in one place before. I showed my bro the harvest and he said it looked like something Cheech would pull out of a backpack
@OldCoolSativa, I'm looking forward to seeing how your White Widow grows. Mine is growing very differently from the other plants. Are the straight pistils a sativa trait?
Read your strain review haha. I rarely smoke. Like once or twice within 2 months and go through the same thing. I literally take 1 hit with my tolerance and get smashed with all this high thc stuff. Wifey loves it though! Keep growing man, I defiantly enjoy it and hope you keep growing. 👊
Clones can be funny , some strains are better than others , we found that the strawberry og was so difficult to clone and took ages to root,nearly a month , whereas the incredible bulk took two weeks. Roots are the key to growth , and we always used clonex . We kept them in a 40watt t 5 tent and had a 4 week cycle , ah those were the days 😏
Dude, you should've bought a reverse lottery ticket after you went 6/9 males. 😊 Too bad the PPP was a bust for both of us, but we both seem to be doing OK with the WW. We'll have to arrange a smoke report and comparison of soil and purple lights vs DWC and COBs!
I'm encouraged to see your plants were at 5" in week 4, because that's where mine are now and I'm wondering if they've been stunted by low temps. ALso, the fact that 3 plants are filling your room so well makes me think my planned 6 might be too crowded.
