My White Widow Adventure

You are dead on schedule and your plants are budding up nicely. Expect more height gains, and an increasing aroma from the early resins. Good work mate!

Thanks guys! I appreciate the kudos and input

I got to thinking the other day, this could be scary, about hydro and how you can adjust the PH on the fly. I have never adjusted my soil except for using PH up/down for the water before watering. I was wondering if anyone has tried using various products like Aluminum Sulfate to lower the PH of soil?

I mixed some in with extra soil I have and figured out how much to add to drop the PH in the soil to just under 6, its like 5.8 - 6. I am planning on using this soil for a future grow but want to know if anyone has experience with this and if there is a noticeable difference in speed of growth or size of yield...

The reason I ask is because I always add 6.0 PH'd water to my soil but every time I check the soil PH it is always around 7. I guess the PH'd water does not change the soil but the plants get the benefit of lower PH in their water?

Any feedback would be great, thanks!

Thanks again for the nice comments everyone. I took a few more pictures today since, while watering, I saw the seeds forming on the buds that I pollinated and thought it would be a cool pic.

Also, the 5 Arjan's haze #3 girls seem to be growing very slow. I guess thats because they are pure sativa? They are about 7 inches tall now, I think they should be bigger. Except for the slow growth they seem very healthy.

On to the pictures:
This is the pollinate bud with seeds forming:


One of the top colas:


Trichs are starting to build up on the fan leaves around the bud sites.


This picture is for *****... don't be mad at me because I keep a dirty floor


Here are a couple pictures of the Arjan's haze:

Damn your plants look nice. I love the sheen and texture of the leaves. Nice closeup pics of the seeds and trichs. How often are you using foliar feeding and what is your current foliar regemine ie cleaning feeding and what mix? Thanks keep up the good work. Can't wait to start my WW adventure. My room is maxed out need another room... or just what till my ladies go to harvest. Wish I had the bat cave in Dark Knight as my grow room.

nice colas and green feet. ive heard of a green thumb but damm

[4twenty4all]

Bubba, now you know the identity of the incredible hulk Damn! I let the cat out of the bag...I hate when I do that! ;-) I think I had the color swap feature turned on the camera for that shot.

Mr Mcbudz, thanks man. I use just about 1 tsp of seaweed extract and a few drops of fish emulsion per gallon and lately have been spraying every 5 days now. The bat cave would be an awesome place for a grow room! Think of the possibilities!

When do you start with the foliar feeding? First sign of leaves?

[4twenty4all]

I start spraying just after the first set of leaves comes in. I pretty much follow *****'s guide to foliar feeding, I can try to find the location and put a link in here for ya later. His routine seems to work pretty well for me.

That is a kewl shot of the bud producing seeds

I'm in between updates right now since not much is going on, they are filling up nicely. I do have a question though..... I was reading another site's description about how to grow white widow and would very much appreciate input. Here is the part that I am wondering about:

"Greenhouse suggests changing the lighting to 8 hours during the last 2 weeks of flowering in order to halt regrowth of on the buds and produce just enough stress to coax out the maximum amount of sticky resin per inch."

Does this sound right to anyone that grows white widow? Would this have an adverse affect on yield? Thanks for any input!

[wwilde]

I have also read this 8hr schedule on another site (not greenhouse) about WW & also 48hrs dark for the final two days.

Anyone tried this?
