Growing another widow same as my last diary. This was such an easy grow i wanted to try mainlining this one. We will see. Day 5 and she has shooted from a pot of Plantmagic soil lightly watered with some 6.2PH water.
Week 2 started and she is putting some length in. I was worried her and the Triple cheese were stretching a bit so i lowered my light by another 10cm. I have a new SP-3000 marshydro coming in a few days im hoping the extra light will not throw me off to much.
Day 8. Good growth strong stem. Had 10ml of a mix of root juice and bio heaven mixed 1ml to 1000ml of 6.2 water.
Day 10 and like her sister seed before is growing nicely
Day 11. New light arrived. Hope it is not too much of a change
Day 13 Moved the widow and her friends to 12L airpots. I plan to LST this time so have planted off center to give me some room. I want to see how well i can train her. Had a splashing of the above mix.
Absolutely not, don't pull it off..
Those leaves contain nutrients for you seedling. That it have 3, just means that it got an extra 50% to live off of, in case something goes wrong.
Start of week 3 and I think she's going well. New light is so bright compared to my old eco 120 I had to move it up to 70cm
Day 23. Light issues were more then I realised. Moved it to 90cm and 75%. Damn the sp3000 is soooo bright. I think they are all feeling better since the light issues have been addressed. Applied the start of her LST. Plan to see ho far to the other side i can get her. Shes placed with a nice polished mirror in front of her to try and promote her growth in that direction..😜
Day 25. Started to prompt her first set of fan leaves to grow back towards the stem and then I plan to try and train all her arms to a position of light and prosperity.🤩
Day 26 She seems to be doing just fine going into her LST. She has great colour and the leaves look nice and healthy to me. I can see the shape i want when i look at her i just hope she will grow how my mind sees it 😄
Thanks for looking and sorry for all the pics on the daily. Its my second grow and 1st time training so its for my reference for future grows.
Stay safe and happy growing. 😁
Hello,
Start of week 4 and its going just fine. Nothing to really say atm. continued with the LST its going well and she is taking shape. I love this strain it is so hardy..She does not mind what i do.
30 days today since the seed was put into some damp soil.. God i love these plants😍. This strain is so tough i have been quite rough on her as i wanted a straighter main stem so i used a small peiece of wood and wrapped some soft wraps around the main stem like a splint. Seems to have worked and i have 8 main colas formed and growing where ive asked. I will see what i doo about topping. I would love to shape her back around her pot but i dont think i will have time. Im trying to slow her growth a bit so i can shape her . No idea what im doing but it seems to be working..
Happy growing🙏
Week 5 starts with a growth burst. I chopped some leaf back that I could not tuck away and she's recovers really well. I noticed I had snapped her stem a bit as I was carrying out LST last week. This has healed over nicely and in fact looks like it's done some good. Is that HST??
Anyway she's doing great. Shape is good for me, now I hope she will bulk up..
Day 34 took some of the bigger light blocking leaf, pulled a bit more here and there as she goes into flower. Im very happy with her
Stay safe everyone during this crazy 2020.
Happy growing.
Week 6 starts with some dofliation to make all bud sights clear with good light, will add some top max and biobloom to the next feed. She is doing really well
Happy growing all✋
And remember to 😷 and stay safe!
Put a net over her she seems to be coming on fine. Nothing to report really.
Put some N back in the feed with the fish mix.
Thanks for looking,stay safe and happy growing.🌱🌿
Stressful week just gone. I'm not sure what or how but this girl suffered this week. I messed something up. I think I locked her roots with an accidental feeding with too low a pH. She was flushed mid week and has started to recover but I think I've slowed her down massively. She was growing and bulking at a rate of knots before I messed her about😭.
Still it's all lessons as long as I don't do that again🤣. I've returned to the biobizz recommended feeding guide and will be much more careful when pH checking.
Got a basic LUX meter and she is getting 52,000 units of whatever LUX is.. RQS website says ideal for flowering is 45,000-65,000. So im in the ball park.
Day 54.
Did some defoliation to get better air flow through the buds as they are getting wider then I imagined they would when I set up her training. I was worried about it getting a bit damp amongst all the leaf.
These updates not very exciting it's more for me to be able to reference in the future. 5 days after the nute lock out she is on the mend and putting weight back on. These plants are very tough arnt they!
Thanks for looking
Stay safe😷
Happy growing🌱
Week 9 starts as week 8 ended. Feeding growing and getting stinky😍.
She's gone back to pre nute lockout health. Her leaves are sitting praying to their Mars Hydro God..
Leaf colour is a little off but has recovered more then the pictures do justice. She had gone very yellow 10 days ago....
Anyway back on track. I harvested my last grow of this strain in week 11 but this one will need longer. I guess I have caused this with all the LST and the roots issues I caused her.
She's back to taking all her feed and soil is dry within 24 hrs so let's fatten this girl up and hope for some push.
Day 61. Week 9 has shown me a lot so far. I now now the SP3000 light puts out far too many lumens at 100% for the distance i had.. It shows the strength of this girl that she continues to fatten up even though im making so many little mistakes. She did 1L of feed and was begging for more the following morning. I have taken this as a sign she is hungry so have added 1ml of Humboldts Golden Tree which is a 0-0-2 organic addative to her feed schedule. I my dial this down a bit but so far the burst of growth is shocking!! dont know if it is the golden tree or she is just going through a burst,but she loved that.
And she still has weeks to go by my eye. had a look under a scope last night and she is still pretty clear with a few milky trichomes.
Stay safe 😷😷
Happy grows to all.🌿🌱🌿
She's close to the end. Hairs are going orange bud is fat and stinky. Her sister was harvested this week but she had no training and was an unruly wild thing. I will give this girl another 2 weeks at least and just keep watching those trichomes. Will continue a nute feed this week but if all goes to plan she will be on water from next week only. This is not me flushing just to be clear. I don't see the point. It is more to save me some money on expensive nutes that would be wasted on her in the final week.
I think my environment is a bit off as I am trying to keep late flower and early flower in the same room and my RH has been torn between the two. I have opted for a 50% with dips down to 40 and peaks of 60.. I fear this has caused the widow to start to foxtail a bit. Her new bud growth is a bit thinner then I would like. Another thing for me to watch this week.
Thanks for stopping by.
Stay safe😷
Grow well.👍🌱🌿🌱
This may be the last week for the widow. She is huge..The last week saw her swell and eat most of the leaf on the buds. This week I am feeding her water only. She was flushed through with 2L of water at 6.5 with around 600ml run of which came through at PH 6.53. I will check her trichomes over the weekend once she has drunk some of the water she had. Not much else to say. She is a tough old bastard and she has made me want to test some other white widow genetics. Any recommendations please say.
Happy grows🌿🌱.
Stay safe😷😷😷
This was my second go at this strain from Silver Leaf. The girl is just so strong and will take LST with pleasure only slowing her by a week maybe in total from a few visits with the cutters😂.
She had a mad burst of growth in week 10 when she just got really fat.
Was a lot of fun.
I will let the buds dry and get a proper weight and taste report.
Onto the next.
Happy grows🌿
