First Journal & Grow

[Reave]

Every plant is unique. I think it’s hard to say but they look good and that’s what matters.

Great thanks for the reply. I'm hoping I can harvest by June 19 but looking at the rate of growth I'm not sure if they will be ready. May have to have my brother in law come n water them while I'm gone for the week. I was hoping to dry them while I was gone the week lol

You will be surprised how fast they grow once the roots develop. Plants grow below ground first. Above the soil is a reflection of what is below. Also the flower time of white widow is about 9 weeks so if you flip to 12 /12 that amount of time before you need to harvest they will be ready.

How do you know when you should flip to 12/12?

 

[Old Salt]

You can flip at any time you have true leaves on a photoperiod plant. The plants will double to triple their size in the two to three weeks after you flip. You need to gauge when to flip, considering the size and height of your grow area.

Ideally you are training your plants sideways so the nodes take up all the space at one height. Then flip to 12/12 and let them grow up.

I was watching a journal where the guy did 12/12 from seed and it got to a decent size considering.

So I should start training now..I have about the nodes I believe..I was going to fim at 4-5 nodes and start training than

Well again it depends on how much time you want to veg. I’m on my first grow but I topped mine between node 2 and 3 and used the quad lining method for most of them. I found that the white widows are fairly bushy and I think I would just top the 5th node then start training out the two new main nodes to the side. I found the 2-3 topping to be hard on them but they recovered. Once I had the plants the shape I wanted I flipped to 12/12.

If you are more worried about cropping out on time than quantity you can just flip when you need to.

Great Ty. I FIM my bigger one tonight. The other one will have to wait. It's only had about 2 nodes it has been really slow!

So both plants have been fined but I think they may have nitrogen toxicity from the very dark green leaves. Can anyone tell? If they do how do I reverse this. Just water flushes? They are 6 weeks old today as well!!

They look fine to me

Great Ty was a bit worried hehe. They are really starting to pick up in growth now.

 

[Tomuk17]

The bigger they are the faster they grow

So exciting lol. I'm hoping to get another fim or 2 in before switching to a 12/12. They are 6 weeks from seed as of yesterday im thinking either 3 more weeks in veg before switching.
