Germinating looks good they were 1" long when I put them in super soil. Cover with cloche for a few days. Autoflower are supposed to go in the final pot. No transplanting. Got good seed from Crop King. We will see!!
There getting more thirsty one White Widow its fan leaves turned sideways, gave it more water it turned back. Up to .5 Litre every 3rd day. Leaves are still turning on one plant. So far no nutrients other than the soil.
Top of the tent. Has a dimmer switch to help regulate temperature. I have it mounted at the top of the tent 55" from top of soil. If it was any lower it would overheat my tent. I also have a 6" inline fan with a 4" carbon filter running full tilt. I also have two 8" fresh air vents pulled out at bottom of tent. It's also reinforced with a wood frame so I can have a lot of negative pressure without collapsing the tent.
They are finally flowering and in hopes of big buds!! Still not using traditional nutrients. Using Organic Stepwell Soil Bloom Top Dressing and EM1 (Essential Microbes) to help with bud production. Water is PH balance between 6 - 6.4%. Stronger smells from the tent ventilation on max, lots of negative pressure. Everything is green healthy smelling great.
One thing I have not mentioned is that when I water I do have small amounts of flow through. Too much flow through with Super Soil will only deplete your nutrient levels but you need to keep the bottom of the pot wet so a little flow through is good.
Some bottom leaves have turned yellow and I noticed yellow blotches in the overall plant. This signifies Nitrogen deficiency so I am giving it some Flora System with CaliMagic to rebuild the nutrient levels up and help with buds. Regular watering with nutrients now until harvest.
Week 8 looking good. Buds have been growing steadily lower leaves turning yellow and dropping off. Using Nutrients to help with bud production. I'm feeding them Flora combo of 2 Litres or until a little flow through. Every two to three days.
Bottom of the pot was really dry gave it a mini flush until a little came out the bottom. 4L per plant.
Week 9! I can hardly wait until Harvest! Buds are looking good getting bigger, a lot of little buds growing in every armpit.
I have two camera's in my tent. It's great, you can look at your plants with opening the door for hours. I can take pictures, record, rotate, move it around and motion detection if needed. I can also view my tent on my smart phone anywhere in the world. I fully recommend it. The app is eye cloud, camera's are Yatwin.
Out of the two plants Gorilla Glue and White Widow, Gorilla Glue grew faster and bigger.
Week 10! Only a few more to go then glory!! Watering regular 2L every 3 days. Use of GHE nutrients I have been using half dose so I don't get a nutrient lockout.
Saw a few GNATS flying around my tent!! Put out a few Sticky Stiks to catch them and gave a light spay of insecticide with the light off for half hour. I also put up a fly strip, not to hopeful?
This could be a problem if not caught right away!!
First thing I gotta do is stop watering them,dry out to kill the larvae in the top inch of the soil.
The best way to kill fungus gnats and other crawlers is Diatomaceous Earth Powder. Sprinkle on top of soil, works great. Gnats are gone now took 3 days.
Its getting close to harvest. Buds looking good reddish hairs, big fan leaves are turning yellow and dyeing off signifying harvest is close. I'm gonna push it a few more weeks.
My buds are big as beer cans! Getting excited! Gnats have been gone for awhile everything is is on schedule for a harvest around week 14. Hope for a big crop.
This is the end of week 12.
HARVEST FIRST DAY OF week 13!! The buds are leaning over there so top heavy!!!! Little colas are not so little I expect a good harvest!
Trimmed them down now upside down!!
I planted 3 seeds of white widow and every plant grew differently. One was tall, one was short and bushy and the other was tall but still shorter than the tallest one. The bud count is less than advertised. It should have produced 150 - 200 grams but I only harvest 159 grams. My outcome of 3 White Widows - 1.53g 2. 59g 3. 47g = 159g = 5.6oz
The Gorilla Glue grew the tallest and produced the most bud. Less bud than was advertised for GG was to yield - 50-300 grams per plant and I harvested 65 grams. There is no way it would have doubled in size.
All in all the smoke was good I would say about 18 - 20 THC for both
@growking123, You’ll have some good buds to smoke on for quite a bit until your GG and Bruce Banner are finished! I’ve heard Bruce Banner is a heavy yielding strain so I’m sure your next batch will be in the 3/4lb-1lb range! I’m hoping to get at least 3oz from my plants, we will see though!
Btw, I’d definitely enter this diary into Newbie of the month or Grower of the month. You’ve got a nice diary and you definitely have a chance of winning the contest! (Diamond cut co, is one of the sponsors!) I just bought and received their scissors in the mail and they are nice as hell!!
@FreshCoastOrganics, It was time, they were ready. 7.88 Ounces from 4 plants in 12 weeks. I'm very happy!! Smoke is great, smooth. Good luck with your yield and your right about the yield counts. Next grow which I'm starting this week will be bigger!! Using 2 Gorilla Glue Auto and 2 Bruce Banner Auto.
@growking123, Looks like you beat me to the chop!! My girls are still barely showing ambers but they’re fading like crazy so I’m keeping a close eye on them.
Also, the advertised weights are always a rough guestimate. Usually the lowest applies soil, mid range applies to soiless hydroponic mediums and the largest yield will typically come from DWC hydro! There are some people who have harvested 5oz from one plant of this strain in deep water culture. Unfortunately soil only gives so much room for roots to expand. One upside though is soil grown bud always tastes better than hydro, just keep that in mind!!
Hey there. Good looking grow! I am starting my first grow using White Widow Auto as well and just started my journal.
Feel free to comment and make suggestions ;-). I'll keep following, looks great!
