Day 28 Last week saw the plants really start to grow. I was able to increase the 4 4000K 3590s to max output (1400ma) at 30" no reflectors with no ill effect. They're also starting to get thirstier. As of today, all 5 have been topped above the 2nd node and I've started a very lite feeding with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro and Tea. Trying to keep the N under control while adding a bit of the other necessities. They all got 1 cup of the new mixture today and I'll keep an eye on things to see how they respond. I may alternate with the original mixture to reduce stress. Liquid Karma seems well thought of for stress. 24 hrs after topping, all of the leaves were stretching upward, so I decreased the distance to the lights from 30" to 24". I'll be curious to see what tomorrow brings. Day 29 No apparent ill effects from the topping or the nute change. Soil was dry so they each got 1 1/4 cups of the mix. Day 30 1 1/4 cups seems like the magic number ... 1st time they didn't need more water the next day. Lower nodes and new tops are starting to grow out. Day 31 Tried 1 1/2 cups today and there was some runoff so 1 1/4 is it for the moment, Nodes development is progressing (new photos) Day 32 .... MOVING DAY !!!! Thought I saw some minute flying critters ... could have been the 70 degree temps outside in Feb in New England ... but just to be safe I added some pest strips. All 5 plants appear to be doing well. New growth is coming in and the stems are thickening noticeably. Finally finished building the new Quantum board light fixture and temp testing the veg tent so after another 1 1/4 cups of the nute mixture, all 5 are in their new home. Day 34 Added a hanging towel with a water container yesterday to boost humidity. Holding steady around 40% now ... up from 15% after the first day in the new tent. Temps are still on the low side ... 65F+/- during dark periods and 71F+/- when the lights are on. The volume of a 2x4x5 tent is so small, I can't really use a space heater without cooking the plants. All the plants look healthy and node growth is increasing after the first topping, but there's not much vertical development. There are lots of pictures of buds on this strain, but I haven't found anything showing early development so I can't tell if this is normal or due to a deficiency.

@bosgrower, I think this yield is achievable mate. I run 600w per m2 and get 15-24 oz. So with your extra lumens I think you will do better than estimated

@BigDaddyK, Like everything about this project, it's uncharted territory. Dinafem claims 525g/sq meter indoors so trying to extrapolate what these 5 will produce is tricky until I see what the stretch is but I'd be thrilled with that result. They're going into a 5x5 with a 16 COB DIY fixture pulling 800w at the wall so who knows ๐Ÿ˜Ž

@bosgrower, my first smoke of this was the scisor hash after wet trim i almost called an ambulance

@Reaper, I think people are misled by the THC % .. the real power of this strain is the terpene profile. It's a very pleasant smoke for fun but if you have muscle spasms it's a blessing in a pipe.

@Grimbol, Thanks ... It's taking longer than I hoped to finish harvesting and trimming all five but I'm hoping to trim out the last plant today and update the journal.

I'm so sorry for the lack of reply mate. This was not intentional but with grow diaries being new it has taken me a bit of time to give up to the site sguch I now have. You did a great job with the diary I'm just sad I missed the flower show which will not happen again. Really nice end results and what looks like some tasty end product. Not a bad yield either 500g from the 5 plants which is over 3oz per plant and closer to 4oz/plant. Great work and a brilliantly written/documented diary, fine work with a nice outcome

Thank you for documenting your grow on GD mate. You look to have had great germination results and so far for week 4 all plants look great. They will definitely appreciated the potting up this will give the roots room to put down a better structure to hold the buds that will be produced. I will get watching with interest.

@DinafemSeeds, I would have loved to take clones and go into flower weeks ago but it simply wasn't possible. Learned a lot though and future grows should be much easier
DinafemSeeds
DinafemSeeds
@bosgrower, 9-10 weeks is a very long veg period mate and typically clones can be taken anywhere from week 4 onwards. I tend to take ours at week 6-7 just before I go into the flower phase
bosgrower
bosgrower
@DinafemSeeds, I'd really appreciate some input on the compact nature of these plants and whether that's their normal growth process or if I should adjust something in the environment. At this rate it looks like it may take 9 or 10 weeks in veg from seed to get enough vertical growth to be able to take some clones before flipping to flower. That seems like an unusually long veg period.

how resistant is this strain, I'm planning on doing a 250ml cup windowsill experiment to see how it will react ?, they look like good buds anywayโ˜บ
TheHonestGrower
TheHonestGrower
it's just a simple small pot experiment, but I'll probably see how far I can stretch the genetics, I've already done a mold test on one of my diaries with peyote cookies from barneys farm, fair to say it didn't yield to much but I'm not a yield type of guy I'm more of taste, cannabinoid profile. the main reason I asked this is because every new breeder I try out I always like to see how far I can push the plants in non ideal conditions, as it gives me more experience and if it goes well I normally stick with those breeders(and of course others) it's omly because I've had genetics from brands that when ive done this type of stress testing they've failed altogether and it let me show my followers on instagram what not to do when starting to grow cannabis as I get asked a lot if questions when really I'm a newbie myself also I've only been growing for 5 years come January lol :). but thank you very much for taking your time to comment its greatly appreciated and I hope you have a good rest of your wonderful day :)

@TheHonestGrower, The buds are quite dense and if you have PM or botrytis cinerea (bud rot) spores floating about and you let the humidity spike you'll have problems. I would suggest using copper soap in late veg / early pre-flower as a preventive and keep some 3% hydrogen peroxide handy to spray thoroughly at the first signs of problems. This was my first grow, so the tent environment was pristine. I've grown BW again both indoors and out and if you expose it to high humidity you'll have issues. Defoliation and good air flow are important for this strain.. That said, it's a really nice medicinal strain for a number of ailments including muscle spasms. Hope this helps. What sort of experiment are you planning?

@Micha122, The lights are DIY using CREE 3590 COBs with 140mm passive pin heat sinks. The fixture has 16 COBs using 3 Meanwell drivers. Pulls 800w at the wall and gives me 850-900 ยตmols across the 5x5 canopy

Nice canopy and good and healthy looking buds. I am on my first grow as well. White widows. They looking very similar to your blue widows. Too bad prohibition is still in full effect on federal level. If not, then we can actually trade final products and see what the differences are. Anyway have fun growing. Will def follow this till the end. Cheers... BM 4tweentee.... Stop prohibition now. It does more harm then good...
