White Widow 400w Grow.

[Enforcer]

It looks just like my early miss but smaller, no offense, early miss is 50per cent widow, I just got some white widow beans but have not got to them yet, any tips? Easy, hard, fickle? Big plant, small? Tour friend SNOLEPERD pic is Early Miss note the similarities

No offense taken. I’m trying to pull as much weight out of a 3x3 w/400w light as I can. With SCRoG technique I exchanged a few huge colas, for about 50 medium ones. I’m ok with that. One day I’ll grow without the net, just for something different. I have found this WW to be on the easier side to grow. The only tip I would offer is to watch your nitrogen levels. She doesn’t like a lot of N. Error on the light side of feeding. They are a shorter plant, especially if you control the stretch well with LST. Other than that, prepare to get sticky. This strain is very resinous. Somehow I don’t think you’ll mind though. Good luck.

Thank you, about as I expected, I allway go light on nutrients until I know she can take it, thanx for the nitr tip, can' wait to get my hands sticky, your friend. SNOLEPERD

So, I was watching one of Vader’s uploads and he mentioned a watering during the night cycle. This is done to keep the coco moist. I have been wondering if I should add a 4th feeding, to keep the coco from getting to dry.

I added an additional feeding in the middle of the night cycle, for one minute. This is in addition to the 3, two minute feedings they get during the day. Unless there is a good reason to change it, I think I’ll leave the watering schedule there until harvest.

I must b getting old, back in the early 80s it was so simple, yes the dea crashed my door, i was warned befoehand i have never seen cops so mad, it was a federal warent and they did not find so much as a bean, i have been in prison for simple poss not sales, I'm old school we used to make our mix, germanate bag seed, cull the males, and your good, I'm still like that, simple no scrog, no stuff I never heard of, fox farms, pearlite, botanacare bloombastic & a pot, it' simple and works, Kalashnikov who invented the ak47 once said it's easy to make a complicated gun, what' hard is marking a simple one, they still make that gun to this day. So simple you cant break it. SNOLEPERD

It appears that the premature pistol browning is pheno dependent. As the #3 pheno has continued to brown after moving the light, while 1&2 are still all white. Temps are still good, so I dropped the light to 15” off the canopy and checked the Lux (about 40,000 directly under the light). I’ll leave it there over night and check temps again in the morning. I’m trying to fatten up buds by giving them as much light as I can without burning them.

Lookin great in here bro!

Thanks man. I have been checking in on your thread too. You’re crushing it in there!

Day 39 of flower.

Res refill to 500 ppm. Almost the same ratios as last one.

I checked the leaf temps at 80*F and air temps were 79*F. I think that is in the acceptable range. They were praying to the light after 12 hours, so I don’t think they mind it to much. The back of my hand doesn’t get uncomfortable under the light. I might put the glass back into the reflector and vent through it soon. I can just get the light closer that way. I know I may lose some light through the glass, but can’t be helped. The first pic is the #3 pheno that has the pistol browning. She did this last run too, but I had some environmental issues last run that I attributed it to. I guess it’s just the way she is haha. Happy growing all!

Sorry, SNAFU with the pics. Here we go.

Day 41 of flower

Bud pics’s. The number 1,2,& 3 phenos in order.

I upgraded the veg area with a “spaghetti monster” water distribution system. The floor is slanted and leads to a drain I installed. Those are my pepper starts and my #1 pheno mother. It’s a 18 gallon res, 400gph pump, to 1/2” main tube, to 1/4” distribution lines w/ drip stakes. Upgrading the light by the end of the week (4’ 8 bulb T-5). I can now water up to 30 plants in seconds, with one hand, while smoking a joint :) Real easy and cheap to build, if anyone is thinking about building one. Happy farming all!

My next endeavor for sure. Auto drip! I like the light source too. Gearing up to build veg cabinet soon. Does the 1/2" and 1/4" lines dribble much? Need some sort of run off control? Hmmmm.

Works well so far, no dribbling. The res is outside the area, but as the same level. So I don’t need to worry about any syphoning. I also have a ball valve in the supply line to the ring. That allows me to reduce the flow from the pump if I need to (runoff control?).

Probably cost you a week at worst.

I think you were right man. Bud development is about a week off of what it was this time last run. It’s like they stalled out in week 5, and are just now getting going again (mid wk/7). I have adjusted the flushing begin date out a week to compensate for the later harvest.

Lesson of the day kids, light cycle consistency is very important. LoL

No harvest on 420...:crying2:

Your Buds are looking nice and frosty!!

Yeah, I’m bummed too. But I just don’t think they’ll be ready by then. The calyxes just started swelling about 4 days ago.

Update: Day 49 of flower

Buds are finally beginning to swell. Pheno #3 is just starting to develop a calcium deficiency. This pheno did the same thing last time, but it presented earlier in the run. I’m not going to worry about it. I’ll harvest way before it becomes a problem.

I got my new HydroPlanet 8 bulb T5 light in the veg area. Took cuttings from the pheno #1 mother plant and got them into the propagation cabinet, and the pheno #2 clone is just revegging right along.

All good in the garden. Happy growing!

Looking good dude, I have the same with my pheno, week 5 to 7 absolute calmag whores, exact same as yours, look at the pheno I've just trimmed up, exact same as yours, although I went away for a couple of days and when I got back it was rampant. lol
