First Grow - White Widow x Big Bud

[rhetorrikz]

Just somewhere warm and dry on top of a light behind the tv ontop of the fridge ec. I dont like microwave or oven drying ..
Whats your tap ph like ? Ive done a bit of both with better results when ph is in range or close soil 6.5-7.2 .. but best results are with slow dry and cure really makes it

Usually about 8.2 before I add my ph down.

 

[rhetorrikz]

Just start and finish with ph water

 

[grino21]

Okay thanks man. So I won't need to give a proper flush? Just normal ph waterings til finish?

day 57 flowering. Just flushed them all. Glad that's done! What do you think lads? I think they look yummy as f*ck haha. Thanks again to everyone who has helped along the way, I couldn't of done it without you!

 

[grino21]

humidity has been getting very high since I've flushed the girls I just checked as lights came back on it was at 70%

 

[rhetorrikz]

You need to lower it the best you can.. remove any water in drip trays, crank up air exchange and fans maybe try a few large bucket damprid desiccant moisture absorbers .. better to be safe

 

[grino21]

just checked on them it was at 59% so not to bad can see it creeping up again on lights of. I've spread the plants out abit for better air flow

 

[grino21]

Forgot to take a bud of the other day lol must of been to high I'll take a little bud now and let you know what it's like after a smoke

day 58 flowering - these were taken yesterday. Trichomes are definitely getting more milky. Will get a better shot later when lights come back on. A few foxtails seem to have come through but they're receding already as you can see. I'm pretty much waiting on a few more pistils to go brown before I chop. Not to fussed about amber trichomes, I was just worried about harvesting to early and losing out on yield. Let me know what you think lads

 

[rhetorrikz]

Dont be in a rush to harvest they will only get better, keep an eye on humidity and flush again once they dry up.
Possibly harvest next weekend the 11th? Do you have a loop?
It would be good to check exactly how far along they are. Say If there 50% clear 50% cloudy give more time

 

[grino21]

ill try my best to not rush haha sounds good I'm just going to give normal waterings till the end now. Humidity as got me freaking out! Lights came back on an hour ago and it was at 70% again. It's been between 40-60 most the grow. I'll take a close up pic of one out the tent and upload it shortly.

 

[grino21]

thought I'd take the suspect one out of the tent with them weird markings to get a better look. The buds are fine I've looked in the middle of both. Still worried of mold though with those weird yellow marks on the leafs. humidity is at 57% now.
Another thing I've realised is my buds look alot bigger outside of my tent lol.

 

[grino21]

Some clearer pics of the trichomes. Enjoy

 

[rhetorrikz]

They look great man! I dont know this strain but seems like theres lots of white pistals? Have you followed anyone elses journals with widowxbb?

 

[grino21]

there new ones that have come through since I flushed, almost covering the amber pistils. And Yeh man I've read a few journals on this strain and apparently the trichomes never go amber. Someone took this to about 85 days flowering and said the one he had pulled at day 65 was no different.

 

[grino21]

 

[grino21]

day 60 flowering - these pics were just taken. Not sure if you can see but I can see some trichome that have gone a browny amber colour. Pistils seemed to have darkened abit since yesterday. Must be very close now??!!!

Looking great I'd say a few more days - a week but it comes down to preference and the high your after. Some people run these out to 80-90 days but gotta watch for mould! I've just started a WWXBB and can't wait to having something as nice as that I front of me!! Well done

Thanks man Yeh I've been really worried about mould but I've spread my plants out and turned my oscilating fan up, seems likes there's some good air flow to the top and bottoms. I flushed my girls the other day and humidity went upto 70% but luckily it's gone down to around 50 again.
Really hoping to achieve my goal of atleast 10oz, it's hard to tell by looking at other people's harvest.
