Pistols are showing this week and the plants seem to have started stretching.
The plant that i broke a branch on recovered but it is no longer the best of the 4 white widows.
The Dr.earth top dressing i did last week should be taking effect this week so i will only give a small amount of Grow big nutrients. I’m still adding grow big because i dint want there to be a gap in nutrition. I believe that since a lot of foliage and branch development happens during the stretch, it still needs that Nitrogen.
I am still adding voodoo juice and mychorizae for two reasons. The first is that while the stretching is happening, roots are supposed to devolop rapidly and i want them strong. The second is that i have 2 seedlings in my garden that need it so i have left over nutrient solution anyways.(checkout my profile to learn about the seedlings).
Toward the end of This week i will be adding a bloom booster to increase bud sites along my branches.
I did my weekly LST and i think I’ll have to just go ahead and use the scrog net next week. I was hoping i didnt have to because i currently have 9 plants(4 different strains) in my 4x4 tent. More space will be made for them soon though.
Day 37: i defoliated the 1st and 3rd biggest WW to compare them against the 2nd and 4th biggest at the end of the grow. The aim is to see which technique is better for autos. Tucking vs defoliation. I also wanted to see how stress affected these plants and which will give me a bigger yield.
The day after, i saw that the defoliated plants definetly grew taller and bounced back the morning after the defoliation.
I also turned plants for even light penetration
Should i lollipop White Widow Autos?
I want my top colas to be large and i dont want to take the chance on my plants trying to expend energy on branches that wont produce good bud.
On the other hand, i dont want to stress the plants out to much by cutting the small branches off.
Go for it. Save a lot of trimming work. Larf buds are such a nuisance. Widow tends to have ball shape buds and the lower branches are like pin heads full of leaves.
I would plan to trim off half the amount on one day. And the other half in the next.
Checking trichomes for harvest:
I am noticing that Some of yhe plants have amber trichomes but i feel like my buds could still grow more than they have. Its also only week 7 of flower and this is not a fast flowering auto. Should i start flushing anyways?
Yeah @DoDrugs429 he's right. Still lots of time for her to developpe trichs and fatten up... Don't lok at sugarbleafs overall amberness, but ratther at the buds clear to milky/amber ration. There should be almost no clear trichs in the areas you looks. More arounds the predicted harvest time of your strain more or less. But the giving time is usually an indicator to start looking and prepare for harvest..
