Thanks ths I am in week 3 of veg. I'm trying to let two other ones catch up before I go 12/12. My ppms are 1350 @ .7 conv.

 

[253Chiefin]

well your plants are looking good so far man im impressed. 1350 with a .7 conv? never heard of that lol

 

[253Chiefin]

post us an update of your girls man! i bet this lst really has them taking off

 

[kiefisgood]

Ok i was away for a little bit but here is an update.

White widow is in week 4 of veg she is big and may eed to flower soon.
She has been taking in nutes nicely. I am noticing some twisting leaves in the new growth. I think this may be from the light being too close. Anyone have other suggestions? The environment is ideal so far. rez tep is 69 which ill take.

I have also started two others in to buckets. A purple kush and a super lemos haze. They have begun the LST process and seem to be responding well. They do have slightly burnt tips so I will be backing off a bit.

Well onto the pics. Please feel free to critique as I am on her for knowledge.

Mannnn....looks good...can't see nothing wrong...how did you start your plants..i'm going to try this DWC...i got seeds that just popped...in rockwool...did you go straight to the bucket or wait until you saw roots???

 

[Goshawk]

Hello kiefisgood everything seems to be rolling along nicely

and............with the rest of your grow, gotta love that White Widow!.............

 

[253Chiefin]

your widow is lookin like mine JUST like mine taking that lid off must be a hassle but for your crop its worth it lol.

all those plants seem to responding well to LST you have a nice loking grow going on.your about week 4 or 5 into veg right? your right on track congrats man. how do you like the smell of your WW when you tie her down and move her? i thought my master kush melt great through veg in my last grow but this WW really shut me up on that topic.

i guess depending on where your strain came from. some people ive read say it smells like cat piss through veg. i wont say the seed bank review i read that on but all WW is fire. you know where your WW came from by any chance

Don't go straight to the bucket let the roots establish themselves first. All of mine were started as clones in an aero cloner in neoprene inserts. I wait till they have big healthy roots the put them in the buckets. Thanks for stopping in and keep the questions coming

I actually brought my seeds home from Amsterdam years ago and have kept cloning

 

[kiefisgood]

Goshawk and temp. Thanks for stopping in fully appreciated everything looks good but I am getting twisted leaves not sure what that's about

Sorry...too late...bucket is up and running...no nutes yet but plant doesn.t have 1st set of leaves yet..fixing to wash soil off one of my JH clones and put her in a bucket of water..i hope she survives...

 

[kiefisgood]

Ok update time. The white widow is just a beast. Right now she is 2ft by 2ft and only 8 inches tall!! 1300 ppm rez is at 67 room temp stays betwen 70-74.

The super lemon haze and the kush are moving along nicely. The slh is easy to lst but the kush seems to be a bit more dificult. Kush is a short bushy bitch who does not like to be tied down. But Im doin the best I can.

Thank you to all of you who stop in keep the criticisim/advice/comments and questions coming.

1st is the White widow before and after training on March 1

Here is the white widow before and after training today March 3

Here is the ww root ball

Ok the next 2 are the slh and the kush

 

[miwa]

Good job on the WW...you are going to get a good yield off her...i can't get my seedling to survive in rockwool..so i took one of my clones out of soil...washed the soil out of the roots and put it into DWC...she is doing great..

 

[253Chiefin]

yea white widows LOVE being tied down! once i tied my girl down she exploded with branches all over. great plant and easy to take care of. not touchy at all for me. you got a great lookin widow. that kush and SLH are going to get huge too and quick!. cant wait to see them bloom
