Mngrowman's White Widow

[Mngrowman]

Hello Everyone! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read and possibly comment on my trip!

Strain: White Widow Fem, Hybrid, Don't know the %'s

Right now all 5 are in Veg mode, Been in veg since feb 8th

Right now they are in my closet which is 4x2.5x8

I'm using Fox Farms potting soil, it comes pre mixed so i didn't really do anything to it.

They are in 3.5 gallon Air pots

I have one 400w MH and will switch to a 600w HPS when its time to flower, i keep the 400 about 18" away. I have one fan blowing on them all the time, soon i will be venting outside.

My temps range from about 78F when the light is on to 65-68 at when its off.

My RH is about 45%

I am uncertain of my PH in the soil but normally but all my water/nut solution is done at 6(or so) i just use a GH test kit so its in colors so its not an exact science.

So far i have been rather lucky and i don't see and pests, mildew, or mold.

I water the girls every 2 days or whenever they are dry.

I use technaflora Recipe For Success, with added super thrive

I don't think those veins are supposed to be purple? So if some one could help diagnose my issue i would be most appreciative

The leaf tips are starting to turn yellow and i have had to trim off some lower under growth to get ride of yellowed leafs.

 

[Mngrowman]

I water 3 times a week, twice just PH adjusted and once with my nutes, the more i read the more i think i have a phosphorus deficiency. right now i am using a mix of well water(when i can get it) and my city tap water. I am looking at getting a small RO unit so i can eliminate some of the unknowns in my water supply but i am but a simply man on a small budget with big dreams.

Your plants are looking good Mngrowman! If you take empty jugs to the supermarket the water
machine costs about 42 cents a gallon to refill them compared to a $1.00 for the already filled ones.

 

[Mngrowman]

Thank you! i will look the next time i head to my local grocery store! I thought i would upload some more photos for every one to look at(as the pictures are the best part right?).

This one is doing alright still the yellowing on the leaf tips but looks pretty health otherwise

This one i am somewhat worried about as it is getting dark purple/black lines on the veins going up the plant. Please help!!!

This one is still rather short but compared to were it was it is doing leaps and bounds better. It didn't really take well after i transplanted it and just now i think is recovering.

this is is some what perplexing as it grew in strid with the other big three then just stopped for no reason. It looks healthy enough. any ideas?

This one is looking the best of the five, but it still has some of the same issues with the dark purple/black veins.
The three larger plants are all showing female preflowers. but i am going to wait to see if the 2 smaller ones can catch up, or should i just got into flower ASAP?

 

[Mngrowman]

Today i put them under a 600hps and 12/12 timing. I do like the switchable ballast glad the guy at the store convinced me to buy one!

Here is the family photo!

This is shorty!

Susan is trudging along alright but i don't really expect much from her

June is really branching out i am wishing i had more space now as she could have been a monster.

Jane continues her stretch to the top growing 2 1/2" since last time i posted

Fatso is growing wider every day and to think i was going to pull this one because it took longer to root..

 

[Mngrowman]

Hello everyone! another glorious day up in the frosted north! So i gave them a hair cut right after my previous update but didn't seem to slow them down at all! Well as always more plant porn time!

I watered her right after I took this and she looks way better now.

I need to clone this beast as she has a ton of side branchs!

Again today was a water day so she doesn't look her best

The runt of the litter, i think i need to do a flush on all of them but this one in particular.

This has has really started to grow under the 12/12 i am really amazed.

Well thats it for now! best of luck to everyone out there!

hey man..good job so far..is this your first grow? Your plants are really lookin great..i like how you named them all haha. Im looking to do my first grow in a couple months..il prob be doing a very similar setup as you.. but with CFL instead..as im pretty poor haha. I will deff stick around though to see how this turns out.

 

[Mngrowman]

Hey newgrow! this is my second grow, my first time i did 3 northern lights auto's, 1 blueberry auto from spliff seeds, and 1 lowryder #2 which got moldy at the end was a sad day as that was one awesome little plant! check around this place lots of good journals filled with good advice! Good luck to you sir!

 

[OldMedUser]

I think theyre all looking great!

Some strains get dark lines or purple stems so I wouldn't worry but then I rarely do. lol

I've never used FF but from what I've heard you prolly didn't need to use nutes for the fist few weeks.

Sure are nice and bushy and you ought to get a big pile of buds!

Nice grow.

 

[Mngrowman]

Thank you! i have been wondering about this for some time! This is my second time using fox farm, i think though i might try some coco the next time around, or a DWC i have a cat so i have a few of his litter containers around and they are pretty good quality plastic. I am hoping for about 4 oz's but we'll see. Going to be uploading more pics tomorrow(some before and after).

 

[Mngrowman]

This is one of fatso's fan leaves i cut today.

Another family photo after haircut day! took off a lot of fan leave's today, Susan has really stretched, she is in the back left

Well going to the supermarket later for an RO run its about to flush all the ladies. If i wanted to take some clones how would i go about doing so? do i have to take branch's of the main stem or can i go with some of the side branch's that are growing? its still unfamiliar to me even with all the guides and such!

 

[newGrow]

so are you you gonna be doing LST or topping your plants ? ..they are lookin pretty good..you got that tall plant in the back bein all greedy for light haha might be good for LST? but what do i kno haha..oh and sorry idk anything about cloning either haha id recommend watching a video on youtube..sometimes they can be more helpful then reading about it.

 

[Mngrowman]

Hey everyone back again! so i got some new supplies today! Rootech, Some rock wool stabilizer, more sugar daddy as i was almost out, and some random things needed to start my cloning project. next week im hitting up home depot for my lighting needs. On another note my damn computer hit snag this morning either my ram died(most likely) or my slot died(highly unlikey) time to RMA that crap go life time warranty. New grow because of how little space i have at the moment i can't do much in the way of lsting. i did top on plant but thats because it was shorter the rest but the others i am just having them grow vert. Next time i am going to scale back how many i do and try some lst/scrog or something of the like! Oh and i did pick up some ROed water 5 gallons for 1.95 i tried to tell the lady that i was purchasing the bottles to but she was like no they say refill on them!!!

 

[Drewskee]

awesome! where ya at now? how did the clones do???

 

[DUSSO44]

keep up good work!

 

[Mngrowman]

Hey all, been awhile i know. Well i harvested one because for some reason or another it matured a whole hell of a lot faster then the others. I got about a zip of good buds, plus about 4 dozen cookies from the trim that had a hell of a punch. I have about 36 clones going right now waiting to give most away and keep about 4 or 5 for myself. should be another week or so on my other plants looking to get 4 oz' or so from them. Well good luck all and keep growing!

How did this grow turn out?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info!

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read the photo gallery tutorial:
Photo Gallery Guide - How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos

I am moving this to abandoned journals until we get updates.

Thanks and hope all is well in your world!

Love and respect from all of us here at 420 Magazine!

Hey everyone its been a long time. I don't have any more pictures for this grow but i ended up getting roughly 1oz per plant. The biggest issue i had was that most of the buds on three of the plants became rather airy and not dense whats so ever. I made cookies with those buds and DAMN so damn good cookies they where! I stopped growing indoors as I moved to a different house. This summer i will be taking my experience these last few grows and going out doors.
