JASG’s Indoor White Widow Photo Soil Grow Spring/Summer 2021

She looks healthy but I have noticed some of the lower and larger fan leaves have a very slight discoloration on the edges. I'm not sure if it's an issue or just the normal process of aging into mid-flower and I'd like some opinions so if it is an issue I can nip it in the bud (pun intended!). These are three leaves where it's most noticeable.

Middle of week 5 and she's really starting to bulk up.

Week 5 Day 6. Earlier in the week I removed the biggest and lowest fans that were starting to fade a bit (less than a dozen) and mid-week I applied Fox Farm Cultivation Nation at half strength. I've been cautious with fertilizing because the Fox Farm Ocean Forest was definitely hot, only applying at 1/4 strength but I took the larger fan leaves fading as a sign FFOF was spent. Removing the larger fans also allowed me to move the runt back into the space. Being a rookie I find the difference in the two plants interesting as they both received the exact same treatment.

The big girl is shaping up nicely and she's getting very odoriferous!

Week 6 Day 6 and I received my digital microscope yesterday so I have to post some pics. I've been tracking this grow on a spreadsheet and I initially had it planned out to 10 weeks of flowering (that would take it through September 5th).

In looking at these photos does it seem like it will take another 4 weeks or might 3 weeks be a better guesstimate?

Last day of week 7. I'm thinking harvest will be last week of August or beginning of September. Getting close!

Last day of week 8. At the beginning of the week I increased the dark cycle to 12.5 hours, increased LED power from 95% to 100%, changed spectrum from All Bright to Flower and reduced ambient air temp a few degrees. My Par meter indicates the increase in power offset any loss in reduction of blue light, still coming in at roughly 625 and that's not counting the UVA & IR diodes that are outside the detection range of the meter.

Tomorrow I'm increasing to a 13 hour dark cycle and reducing %RH from 40 to 35 for what should be the finishing days/week.

Love your approach!

Harvested on 9/3. The 8 smaller shoots were dry by 9/8 and yielded 34 grams after a finishing dry trim. I just bagged this to keep me going through the cure. The 8 main colas were dry by 9/10 and yielded 105 grams after a finishing trim and they're curing in jars @ 70F & 62% RH in the jars.

The dried bud smokes smooth and kicks like a mule. 14 grams from the dried-only bud on a bandanna. I'll check back in when I take the first sample of cured product.
