Flower Week 6 5/16 For the first time I'm seeing some significant leaf issues. The enthusiastic feedings over the last few weeks have caught up to some of the plants and I'm seeing Ca/Mg deficiency and P and K excesses. I've set up a 20 gal reservoir with a variable speed pump to feed these beasties so I'll be cutting back on the bloom nutes and adding the max recommended Ca/Mg. The plants are still robust and putting on flower weight, but the leaves are telling the story. Plant 1 is well ahead of the other 4 in terms of stretch and bud development. Plants 2,4, and 5 are all at about the same stage of development and plant 4 is the furthest behind, I've got the lights at 16 - 18" above the canopy but there's still not a major daily stretch. These Blue Widows are leisurely to say the least. The 2 Black D.O.G that just went into the tent are showing 1-2" a day of stretch ... not the Widows. I've sampled some of the trim from these and it's a fantastic uplifting high. Can't wait for the harvest. At this point it seems like it's just a matter of patience and keeping an eye on the trichomes. It looks like #1 will be the first to mature with 2,4,and 5 about a week behind and 3 a week behind them.

@DinafemSeeds, @bosgrower and results are in πŸ‘

@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 😎

very underrated strain

@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 anyway☺
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?

What are this funny led spots??? Great grow, bro!

@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 Β΅mols 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...
