blue widow. main-line

[shadyslater]

Hey guys im gonna be running a new main-line grow so i thought id document it.
Very simple grown in coco with canna nutes under 300 odd watts of cfls.
My last m-l i pulled just over 3zips in dirt in a 2 gal pot with 8 heads. This go im hoppin to hit 9 zips off a 16 head m-l

Kewl, let's see you do it again. :D

 

[shadyslater]

I really wanna see how far i can push 300w ish lol.
The last time i did alot of topping to this strain it ended herming on me but i have learnt alot since then.
And i wasnt impresed with the last pheno outta the bag either lol

Cool, main-lining is a rad grow style.

 

[shadyslater]

[shadyslater]

The lil girls are doin cool. Gonna do 2x 8 head plants i think lol unless i get heavy handed with the bondage again then it'll be back to a 16 head 1 plant.
Been lookin at a new flowering additive line up from a company called "deep impact plant care" there lines called pro genetix think im defo gonna give them a go

[shadyslater]

Im thinking about using a drip system (just thinkin) but what advantages would i get over hand feeding besides the obvious

 

[stonestacker]

I like my drip. Feed for 17 second every hr in 6th week of flower. Started at 5 seconds and worked up watching my runoff. mix food every 7 to 10 days.

 

[shadyslater]

Cheers SS. #1? How dya set a timer for 17 secs?
#2? Do the girls seem to like it better than bein hand watered

 

[stonestacker]

More even soil moisture, which is optimal if you're using soil food web techniques. Not having to stand there and hand water. Not having to babysit your plants. Probably more water conservative than hand watering as well.
