BearBunny's First Closet Grow - AF WhiteWidow - March 2018

[Bearbunny]

Day - 55

things are REALLY starting to bloom, The cola on Rey is HUGE her cola is almost too tall up the one side, so iv been finding it hard to find a balance of were the majority of the plant wants the light but that leaves the colas of the 2 plants sticking up behind the LED lights a bit... hum what to do... can i bend them? should I? or should i just get a lil strip light for the backside? I thought about it for a few days and went with a cheap 24"sunblasterand just hung it behind the main light.

(this is Rey)

and check out the Siamese-twin-cola Rey has going on (one of the lower tops)

and here is Reys cola (filling in nicely)

and here is Leias money shot, show she is still behind in size, but she is a very dense plant and I think she will shine when it comes to yield

and then here is the full shot (really shows how Leia has been ether stunted or is just a shorty)

Day - 61

This was filmed yesterday so day 60...

 

[Bearbunny]

Day 66 - from seed
Day 24ish - of flower

Iv been busy with other projects and just haven't had time or energy to post daily so I will continue my 1 or 2 updates a week, i feel thats enough.
I do have something to report, I had been trading spots with the 2 pots, and rotating them for max l[ight coverage... however dew to Reys TALLNESS i pressed her far too hard up on the wall, and bent her cola right over , it did not stap so I just put in some strings to act as a crutch and im sure she will heal up just fine.

And here is my weekly video update

 

[Troy01]

Great video.

Day - 74 from seed
day - 33 of flower...

after about a week the string just fell off in the night and I checked and the stock is solid again and seems fine without it.

Ray is looking about 30% red pistols and Leia has maybe 5% ... so I'm going to start flushing Rey as of tomorrow on ( I think) and gonna give Leia 1 more week before I start her flush, as she seems about 1 week behind BUT SOO FAT i think leia is gonna win the bulk race in the end...

here is a new Vid

Day 88

I'll post my new vid below, but first id like to ask if anyone knows whats going on with some of Leia's leaves
now i know about some color loss on leaves as she ripens, but this is different, looks a bit purple/red PLUS she smells like socks now, leading me to believe 80% that she is a "CBD CHEESE AUTO" not a "WHITE WIDOW AUTO" like her sister, now they were both labeled at WW but hey mixups happen i guess (and cropking only offers a CBD/CHEESE so it has to be that) , and cheese is my fav strain so im very ok with this news.

and iv also started to flush one, but due to the color of Liea, im only starting to flush Rey this week, im going to give liea1 more week and her pistols are still over 50%white

these pics are just Leia - and only a few of the tops are showing this purpling...any ideas? led burn?

and here is some /colaporn for yah

Leia (odd sock smell... its why i think its cheese) also looks like it

and Rey (very strong citrus smell)

and here is this weeks new video

 

[Troy01]

My personal belief is that the coloration is just a natural part of ripening and using up the stored energy. Mine are looking very similar as their chop date approaches.

 

[Bearbunny]

cool was hopin it was nothing wrong, they look like happy ladys for sure

 

[Troy01]

They look really happy to me. Especially this late in their life cycle all of their energy is going into "Survival" - Trying to reproduce as their natural life comes to and end. Since there has not been any pollination they are trying their hardest which results in lots of sticky thc.

Day - 92 from seed

My USB microscope showed up today, so i can REALLY see whats goin on now. They have some dark color spots but the dillys are still transparent, no milk yet..... any day tho

I think they are both closer then I figured so iv been flushing them the past few days with just plain water and will continue till the end, better a few days early then not enough flush IMO

Leia

Rey

 

[DonChiefums20]

Trichs look like it’s ready!!! That’s always a nice to see. When are you chopping them?

 

[Bearbunny]

when they go from transparent to milky, im checking on them daily at this point. SOON and me and my buddy are turning half of it into liveresin right away and curing the rest. im hoping for about 2-3oz each. fingers crossed. and will post updates

 

[Bearbunny]

or am I just looking for the TIPS to go milky? cus if so they are right in the mix of milky and amber like right today even... these pics are both REY but they both ladys are in about the same stage. with Liea maybe being a day or 2 behind, should I push them a few more days together? or cut ray down soon and let liea go for a few more days? but her leaves are going super autumn yellow, I have been lowering the temp by about 5-10 and lessened the light by 2 hrs

EDIT... I think im ending their light cycle tonight and putting them in 24hrs of dark, and then harvesting on monday

and

Liea has really started yellowing and Rey hasnt but looks more ready then liea

 

[Troy01]

Are the pictures of the trich with amber on your leaves or on your buds. The leaves will show amber early. You want to go by the trichs on the buds for the best barometer of when to harvest. It may just be me but I find it hard to get good pictures of the buds.

They are really looking good and if your going for a good body high your in for a treat.

 

[DonChiefums20]

Ya what Troy said you’re just looking at the tips. To me it looks like you have a good bit of amber if those are bud shots.

 

[Bearbunny]

it was small sugar leaves on the buds, i was inspecting
