@MinnesotaMarijuana, Hello neighbor! Nice, love this one! Trying to always have at least one going. Got 2 White Widows right now, excited to see how they turn out.

@MinnesotaMarijuana, nice! I love this one, how were the Widows? Have a few going now?

@Kayotic, They are ok but the smoke doesn't taste as nice as the Purple Ghost Candy. I've been rolling joints with the PGC and smoking bongs with the White Widow. My tent got a bit crowded with four plants on my first grow and the White Widows grew faster than the Purple Ghost Candy, kind of taking over most of the space. I'm just growing the one plant on this foray.

@MinnesotaMarijuana, Ha, I'm actually running the dehumidifier at night to keep it below 50%. I have tanks and plants all over my living space. I saw your comment about aquariums and definitely agree about how most people test pH. I love API's test bottles. Cheap, accurate, but cumbersome to use regularly. Beyond the obvious, you can use it to test actual soil ph. I make a supertanate solution by vigorously mixing soil samples with distilled water, than covering with cling wrap. Once it separates, you take a sample from the top clear layer with a pipet or syringe or just decant it carefully; it might take 24-48 hours maybe far more if the dirt is mineral rich/clay. Test the clear samples like you normally would with API's kit. (Take it with a grain of salt, I got the idea from someone's undergrad research that found API to be more accurate than off the shelf soil specific test kits and reasonable compared to professional testing.) I look forward to seeing your harvest. Good on you for sharing!

@JazzBerries, I'm not turning the humidifier on because I'm concerned with bud rot. I already made enough mistakes on my first grow! Yes, I'm a little sad about the buds not getting real big. I haven't really smoked for 20 years except for here and there, so I'll have plenty with enough to give away. I might not be able to experiment with edibles very much. I've dried a couple buds that I cut accidentally or were on stems that I pruned and it isn't "one hit shit" but pretty on par with what was going around when I was a kid that was good weed. Better than most of the stuff we bought. I want to start up again right away, but I don't want to leave styrofoam in the window for the air ventilation exhaust. Thanks for the look, and good luck with your grow!

@MinnesotaMarijuana, I should have been more specific. I'm on day 137, but they sat in veg, under minimal care, for a very long time while I finished the last grow of autos. It's been over 8 weeks since I completed the transition to 12/12. Mine are looking CRISPY/fade starting to creep into the sugar leaves. I don't know if I can keep it up without risking bud rot from dead plant material getting closer and closer to the buds. It sucks that I'll probably end up with another batch of slightly under-ripe, not fully realized buds, but its all a learning process. Now I know to take it VERY EASY on the UV and light this late as well as keep the bloom nutrients flowing until the end. Also modified my home mixed potting soil with additional coir and vermiculite to help the micro-nutrient/mineral content and prevent compaction. Cheers, take care, and enjoy the legal bud!
