So what pheno gets chosen to be perpetuated and who gets clipped in my second grow of 2022? The contest is on as I prep these nice White Widow clones for the big tent. If you followed my last grow you'll remember my disappointment that 5 of my 9 plants from feminized seeds threw male flowers. Four of them really, really freaked out. But I had my clones labeled, and the clones from the freaks were culled from the herd. These look great, they've already been nuted a couple times and are going nuts. They're overdue for transplanting and I've been procrastinating. I've had lower back problems lately and I didn't look forward to hefting a 60-lb bale of potting soil out of the trunk of my car. It's still in there. One thing that is nice is finally finding a source for bales of Pro-Mix that I can tap for in-store pick-up year long. That was a problem before. Everybody wants to sell you that Miracle Gro crap that already has the fertilizer in it. And I was tired of getting ripped off on Amazon and having the cost bloated by shipping. I like to buy bales. If I couldn't locate a source to avoid paying $150 a bale I was going to switch to coco-noir. I snatched up a bale for $58 including tax. Big difference. Even had them load it for me.
These clones are going to be topped and transplanted tonight or tomorrow. I'm going to try to finish nine in the tent no matter how crowded it gets in there. I think 9 in 5-gallon pots is perfect for a big, quick harvest. People doing just a couple plants in a big tent are taking a long veg time. I don't want to do that. I'm not doing Bonsai here. I want the quickness. I want a full canopy this time corner to corner. I've got like 20 gallons of Pro-Mix in a partial bag and just have to get over my lazy streak and get this job done. The tent needs vaccumed, also. And I'm disconnecting the other room from the ventilation. I discovered this 4 x 4 tent is all I need. It will produce a lot. Two flowering rooms is overkill. I was bummed by the freaks seeding out my plants. Some buds are not packed with them. Some are. Not all the plants got heavily seeded. But after harvesting at 8 weeks and getting them down below 60% humidity I got 12 ounces of frosty bud. One plant yielded over 3 ounces of cured bud. That's a personal record for me for one plant indoors. It's so strong it practically knocks me out. This is definitely better than melatonin for sleeplessness. Absolutely puts me in a daze and day time smoking can interfere with getting things done. I find myself just staring at shit or wandering around as the clock spins. I'll look at the clock and wonder "How did that happen?" Somebody from the hood who sampled my product said the same thing without my mentioning my experience vaping this stuff. The clock melts. You lose complete track of time. One of the good ones that did not throw male flowers or nanners produced these extremely red buds. You can see a seed poking out of the bud. I'm going to watch this reddish phenotype in the next class of clones. White widow? More like "Red Widow."
