(Day 65) - From this point on the plants will be getting nothing but PH'd water and a weekly dose of Real Growers "Recharge". I know that this practice is controversial and that there have been studies that show no appreciable benefit of doing so however, I am at the very least saving on very expensive nutes and reducing the overall amount of nutes being consumed. I expect that Ghost Toof and Mephisto's Wedding will likely take 85 days to finish fully and a 20 day flush might seem extreme but these plants have been given an excess of nutes for a long time before I adjusted their feeding schedule. I believe this will make for a better product once dried and cured. We shall find out.
Bene ragazzi si inizia anche questa settimana. In teoria alla fine di questa settimana i pistilli inizieranno a diventare arancioni.
Giorno 6 ragazzi scusate se non sono stato attivo con le immagini ma ho avuto un problema comunque guardate quanto si sono ingrossate quelle cime.
I love this strain from cult classic, I grew her mother last run and fell in love with her terps; sherbert, vanilla, rubber, gas, and funk. Super easy to grow, beautiful colors with the right pheno and lighting.
As you can see now I am batteling crazy hot temperatures. She is already crazy sticky and has this typical Guava smell. Strwaberry with Pear. I am proud of this plant which has been moved around all over the place and she still will give me a nice yield of yummy Nuggets.
New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day.
Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!!
Trimming so I can keep the same hight.
Have any tips or rekomandation?
Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Something new i am trying out with this strain now that I have a Media History. White Widow in a Aeroponic Deep Water Culture environment. we will see firsthand what media does it best with less effort, Container is filled with 5-6 gallons of Nutrient Solution to be changed once every second week. Already cut my RO flow by half with less trips to the faucet i have more time for my girl. Enjoy the grow Bud Tenders.馃憣馃槑
It must be noted that this White Widow was kept in a low T5 environment for a period of 11 weeks or so. So no pics of the early days lol.馃挭
So I went to the Oregon Growers Cup.
I was really looking for some new and special genetics.
There was this one booth with this dude that I got to talking to and they had branches of these live plants and they were absolutely stunning. I started talking and was showing him some of my best nugs and trading with him.
I made a joke even though I was dead serious, asking if I could take one of the branches and try to reveg it to be able to grow the genetic. He laughed and gave me his number to get some actually cuts from him(score!)
But anyways this is that branch, I cut the stem like you would with clones and am attempting to monster crop/ root this live Branch of award winning genetics.
I'm not positive on what the cut is. I think it might be real lemon cherry gelato, or it's gelato 41 or maybe it's a cross? They had so much freaking fire!
Finally got the RDWC system complete and the girls are in and under the LEDs. Started with the LED light elevated higher than recommended; didn't want to cause light burn. About mid week I bumped the TDS up to 350 and lowered the light elevation to 18 inches and they responded very well.
