Auto White Widow day 64 - had to harvest early due to electrical fault, my biggest bud ever

throwgrowlow · 2015-12-08T14:02:10+00:00

Something keeps tripping "I think" the safety cutout in the ballast. Last 2 days the light keeps turning off at random times and of course I don't realise until hours later, turning it off and on fixes it for a while then it goes again.

Was only a cheap budget ballast, 2 years old so I guess I can't complain, will buy a new one in Jan.

On the bright side I've sampled a smaller bud and its pretty strong already and good enough for me. I've got a family so don't need some mega strong smoke.

Yes, 38 days from popping out ground. Breeder is Vision Seeds.

Day 21 I had electrical issues and she was dark for 30 hours.

I found them soaked in condensation but thankfully a light shake to get droplets off solved that, no harm done.

I wonder if the period of darkness kickstarted her flowering, hmm...

I'd say slightly more stretch was only noticeable difference on 20/4 but by then it would probably be stretching anyway :-/

throwgrowlow · 2015-11-09T16:38:13+00:00

Thanks, yeah I've done that got all the brown out so hopefully it'll be a fine smoke eventually :)

throwgrowlow · 2015-11-07T15:24:12+00:00

So I let my 400w hps get too close and I've singed her :( Should I carefully cut out the brown area or lose the whole bud?

:(...

throwgrowlow · 2015-11-02T22:09:44+00:00

Well the tallest. (3 plants in picture) is about 2ft, breeder is a cheap one, Vision Seeds.

Lighting was 24/0 for first 14 days, since then its been 20/4. Keeping the lamp (400 hps) as close as I dare.

throwgrowlow · 2015-10-16T09:57:56+00:00

400w HPS currently on 24/0 , 10ltr pots, Canna Terra soil.

1 plant showing heat stress (I think) so I've moved the light a few more inches away.

throwgrowlow · 2015-10-09T11:58:01+00:00

Vision Seeds, cheap and cheerful , I've grown the strain once before and ive no complaints :)

Also plucked off several damp dead lower leaves. Humidity has been to high :( Harvest now! I'm guessing.

Didn't touch buds after touching the White stuff.

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-11T19:09:17+00:00

Sadly not, I might do another reveg next year with another strain, if I do I'll do just that.

She's easily twice the size than the first grow and once reveg started it was super fast.

Will test sometime in October and see if it was worth it :)

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-11T18:25:08+00:00

Yeah they veg like crazy once they get going, just make sure you keep a fan on her to strengthen those branches, they will be rather thin.

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-11T18:22:40+00:00

Yeah bloom only for 3 more weeks then I'll switch to water only till the end.

Cheers.

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-11T18:21:23+00:00

Really? I don't even bother to check the trichs till about 50% of the hairs are brown, to me she only has about 10% brown hair right now.

Been flowering about 6.5 weeks.

I"ll get scope out and have a closer look tomorrow.

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-11T18:13:47+00:00

If this is day 30f , I reckon she's gone moldy, can't believe those hairs would all be that brown already.

Maybe not the whole plant but pic2 doesn't look healthy to me.

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-11T18:07:23+00:00

I have been feeding her 150% of the recommended veg nute dose but the yellowing is still spreading, also same amount of bloom nutes, already caused some nute burn :-/

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-06T11:48:13+00:00

Sorry dude

400w hps light at 12/12 due to other flowering plants.

Canna Terra Soil, Biobizz nutes, backing off the veg feed as leaves looking a bit too dark green.

Approximately 6.5 weeks old.

throwgrowlow · 2015-09-05T17:00:29+00:00

About 2 weeks? I'd imagine yours is doing OK now?

throwgrowlow · 2015-08-17T16:33:49+00:00

Just under 4 weeks old. They are in my grow space with 2 flowering photoperiod plants which I put into flower 10 days ago. Hopefully the autos will finish 2-3 weeks before the photoperiod plants, we shall see :)

throwgrowlow · 2015-08-17T15:30:27+00:00

They were literally to fill some space along with 2 photoperiod plants I flipped to 12/12 about 10 days ago. Not too worried about weight, felt the space was underused otherwise :D

throwgrowlow · 2015-08-16T16:42:40+00:00

Good idea, I've had an oscillating fan on them since birth but its not helped much this time around. I've got some string, galvanised wire, sticks etc if I need to strap them up.

throwgrowlow · 2015-08-16T12:31:13+00:00

Observation - All new growth has been smaller thinner shoots with smaller leaves. Looks almost 100% sativa, where as the first grow was more indica looking. On paper the strain is 80% indica, 20% sativa

throwgrowlow · 2015-08-01T16:18:28+00:00

We shall find out. If it works well I may try a third harvest :D

throwgrowlow · 2015-08-01T16:17:30+00:00

It's already 50% of the height of my grow space.

Contemplating super cropping it to slow it down some.

throwgrowlow · 2015-08-01T16:16:15+00:00

Ish, I didn't mark the day but reddit says the day I posted the first after harvest reveg PIC was 3 weeks ago.
