Super frosty MEEKS, some plants seem to have some warmth issues, judging by the serrated leaves, i have that too on some of my plants, those branches are really filling up nicely, i love the night time pics

beautiful work mate! love that uniformed look with the canopy!!, superb

whole different class on this site :) soo glad

Good eye Krasi! Yea, on some days when the temperature outside is warmer, the air-cooled hoods still put off a decent amount of radiant heat, which causes some minor heat damage to the serrations on the fan leaves. I might raise my light the last few inches it can go, but most of the damage was from a week or 2 ago, when the light was a bit lower, so I might leave it. Thanks for taking such a close look, and for the kind words Krasi!

Thanks FM! I can't stand having a canopy that is too dense or unorganized. When I see that, I just feel sad inside thinking about all the lower buds that are just sucking energy from the top buds which are actually getting light, and making the overall quality of the whole plant drop.

This community is a great one, no denying that! Glad to be a part of it also!

Looking pimp meeks just went over the thread and everything looks awesome bro.....you can probly setup those 4 plants and and scrog em blindfolded now lol......looking forward to seeing these wifi's since you already ran them once and it was first go with that strain and they came out amazing im sure this run will be even better....great pics too bro!!!

Thanks a bunch Mitch! I have a decent amount of practice with these Solo ScrOGs now, for sure! I thought at first I had over-vegged these WiFi by a few days, and then I thought I had under-vegged by a few days, but then they turned out to be almost perfectly sized! I am really excited to see the difference in quality/yield from the first time, since I have learned a lot and dialed the room quite a bit since then! The swell is just getting started, so these girls are about to get fat and greasy!

Lookin very nice doggie.. U got some nice size buds going at day 32..

 

[RIVAL79]

Them girls r starting to take off. I'm glad u got that White Fire rocking! My beans didn't make it. I got 2 left to pop. This just inspires me to get them growing. Keep up the great job, nMEEKS.

 

[Shady]

Nice work as usual Meeks!

Thanks Goo! Yea these girls are right on track for where they need to be, and I think they are packed twice as densely on the stems this round! I took a look at my pictures from last time running this genotype, and it looks like the next 10 days are about to be crazy with the amount of swell that is going to happen! In my old pics, the WiFi D looked just like it does now, but less pistils and fewer buds sites, and then they got fat and covered in frost in less than 2 weeks, so I cannot wait to see what happens this time!

These girls are on full blast right now! Putting on weight visibly everyday, makes me want to put up new updates as often as LordJin haha! Sorry to hear about your WiFi beans not making it. . . sad day I am sure, but there is still plenty of those beans all over the place if you need more, and I would personally recommend it to anyone looking for that top top shelf medication!

Nice work as usual Meeks!

It means more than you know to hear that doing nice work is what you have come to expect from me Shady, thank you for the kind words!

great job meeks. just about time to hit cruise control and watch these girls swell. . killin it bruh

 

[dirk d]

looking great Meek! your white urkle is looking insane bro, just germ'd 1 of my WU as well. cant wait for these girls to get bigger. how you liking that wifi?? i got 2 right now im deciding on whether to keep or not.

 

[Aerojoe]

Sup meeks, looks like the show is starting to get exciting. I can't wait to see the nuggage that will be formed in the coming weeks. keep it up man.

Beautiful ladies homie!!!

Yessir, they are going to be on cruise control in another week or 2 when I begin the flush, and the WU clone will most likely start getting flushed in a week! Right now is actually when my grows have gone down hill the most in previous runs. . . I blame the MOAB, but I have seen others use it so well that I am tempted to try it again anyways. . . . for now I am holding off though! Thanks for checking in BigCheese!

The White Urkle clone is very impressive for the size it was flipped at, but still does no justice to the size buds that I got with WU B the first time around with a larger plant! I chose B as my keeper for the smell and flavor though, not for the yield, so I am still going to be very happy to have some fresh WU in my stash soon!

I love the WiFi! Yield is not bad if grow right, my keeper genotype was nothing to call home about with yield, but also gives me plenty of super super fire, so I am happy with what it provides! If you are looking for a high yielder, then WiFi is most likely not your girl (although some cuts are very impressive if done perfectly) but if you are looking for that strain that when you pull a nug out to pack a bowl and everyone in the room says "what is that dank smell and holy shit that is the frostiest bud I have ever seen!" then you most definitely want to grow the WiFi!

Thanks for the interest Dirk!

Haha, I think every part of growing is interesting, but I hear you about other peoples logs being kinda mundane until around week 5-6 or so! I try to check out new logs when they are in early veg, see how healthy the plants look, and make my own personal bets as to how beautiful the plants will be when they are in full flower! Thanks for stopping by Joe!

Beautiful ladies homie!!!

Thank you SuperOG! These girls are definitely not camera shy! More like photo sluts IMO!

Well I just enjoyed a nice bowl of WMK genotype C, topped with a heavy scoop of White Urkle kief out of my RooR, and I was inspired to share some cool info I learned today during my Crop Physiology lab! So that you aren't starting from scratch on the subject of trichomes in plants outside of cannabis, I recommend refreshing your memory with my first fun fact of the day posted a couple pages back about trichomes on peaches and almost all other plants!

Today's Fun Fact: In a discussion of why my leaf samples had more trichomes visible under the microscope than someone else's sample ( :D ) our professor explained that there are a few reasons the plant produces trichomes, and if those conditions are exaggerated, the level of trichome density can increase to help protect the plant (trichomes are a defense mechanism)! The first cause, and less likely he said, based on our area, is increased levels of UV light. UV light it detrimental to plants and too much can seriously harm the plant and reduce growth; so in an effort to protect itself, the plant produces more trichomes, which act as a UV shield, and protect the leaf, bud, or fruit surface! So this means it is true that adding UV light to your garden could increase trichome production. . . but it most likely is also reducing the overall health of your plant, and not what you want to do without the proper equipment to properly position the light for the correct intensity. The other reason plants produce trichomes is to reduce air circulation in the micro-micro-climate of each leaf, and so if there were increased winds, or heavily reduced humidity, the plant might have generated more trichomes to help protect itself again! <-this is what my professor assumed was the cause for my sample coming from a more wide open area of campus.


I hope you enjoy learning about trichomes (even if it isn't cannabis specific) as much as I do! I have a feeling I will learn a bunch of cool things like this through the coming weeks in this class!

cheers for that fun fact :)
I myself added a UVB lamp to this grow, and have sorted my buds, so i will be able to compare effect :)

i have 1 bud that is similar in size and maturity as one under the UVB lamp so i have a good basis for comparison i think, i also used the reflector ststed on the site to increase refectivity by 100% i myself didn't notice a downturn in health due to this UVB lamp, asside from my own burnt tips due to nutes, but overall health was dark geen and lush :) under macro shots i actually noticed the trichs that were getting the most UVB penetration actually stretched slightly, and looked as though they were dripping, a definite difference i would say, i didnt have my UVB lamp positioned so that it would cover evenly, i wanted a basis for comparison, and had it far enough away not to cause too much heat stress, it did however raise my tent temps 2-3 degrees.
I will used it again. and again. and then i will buy more and keep using them :) my samples have knocked me senseless, so i cant wait for the heavy stuff :)

edit: i have also grown this strain twice without the UVB so even batter basis ...

maybe the UVB made mine foxtail !!!??

If the plant is responding by producing more trichomes, the UV light is at some point damaging the plant and triggering that extra trichome production to shield itself from the increased UV. If the damage is minimal enough (and this part is entirely speculation, I have not discussed this in any class) I would imagine that you could trigger the trichome production response without causing any visible damage, and maybe work it to your advantage, since obviously we are THC farmers, so increasing trichome production at minimal extra expense to yield or plant health, might entirely be worth it for more resinous meds! Caution to the fact that like I said before, all this is just a hypothesis, and I have no idea if there is a perfect balance that would work well consistently. I will be interested to hear whether you notice a difference, but won't be trying it in my own garden without seeing a larger scale test that has at least the minimal 3 repetitions per treatment for any comparison study to be statistically valid. I would say there is a high chance it caused the foxtails if in the previous two grows without UVB they were not producing foxtails, but if the plant has always grown like that, then obviously it was not the UVB triggering it. . . do you have pictures of you previous two runs with it that you could post in your log for comparison?

i do have pics of the previous 2 runs, i shall have a look shortly. i should of been more thorough, my first grow did have 1 large cola that foxtailed, out of the whole lot, and it was the biggest cola of them all !!??

with the uvb lamp grow i could visibly see trichs without going up close, i knew this to be a major difference, in visuals anyway. pics shortly, i got thousands ;)

 

[Rburdeaux]

i just got some white urkle beans!!
