No but thanks man its all good over here. I finally got the white rhino in so we will see if I can squeeze another grow in.
If I do then water would have to be on a timer so I think I might give deep water culture a try. I have a thermostat and air
pump with airstones from a fish tank. Going to pick up a storage container and cut holes in the top.
Still doing research we'll see how this how this next experiment (DWC) works out. Going to raise a mommy and have many
Baby girls that much I know.
I also want to pollinate to build a seed cash. So I plan to take clones from the first batch of four seeds I planted. if I get a male
I will toss it but keep the clone, flower the male clone with a female clone early no need for them to be monsters. I plan on being
100% self-sufficient no need for the seed bank unless I want a new strain which i will get two more not sure on which ones but
I have a short list that I have been narrowing down.

Thanks man I'd say confusing.. yeah she dried out way too much last week and she just recovered last night. She has been on water for a week now
Maybe she'll last throughout next week I might pull early depending.
No need to pull early mate, I had one of my very early ones struggle all the way through flower , but the more I left it the better it got. I looked like sh*t at the end but then nugs were big and hard! Let her finish, she'l be a beast

Today is the end of week #8 lolita recovered well from her drought. She is still getting bigger slowly by the day. This has got to be the strongest test of willpower ever.
I just keep saying "just one more day," but then again I've been saying that all week now.

Thanks guys, I cut and quick dried only a small gram. It had a heavy, long lasting stone, crap taste (due to quick dry.) I can already tell
she's going to be amazing when she done growing. The only reason I keeping her a bit longer at this point is because I'm still seeing
her buds swell each day.

Just commit to not chopping until you see a few amber trichomes. You've already got months invested, no point in not seeing it through. It will be worth it in the end.

So I picked up a scope 60x-100x. This way i can get a real good look at the trichomes. I also picked up all the supplies needed for my 2nd grow DWC white rino. Construction will start up today. The seeds have cracked and tap roots are showing.
If I may mate, the leaves look a little over watered causing some lock outs so let the medium fully dry before watering again. Also there is water on the leaves! Really mate don't foliar feed during flower you will cause bud rot. They like to be dry and low RH during flower Just thought I needed to step in and say this. It will help them buds get massive if you dry that medium .

Advise is always welcome in my journal. Please never hesitate, if something is going the wrong way or needs improvement let me know. This is why I started the journal, not to be a show off, but to get help along the way. I had no idea of bud rot. This is great info but it raises a question. When grown outdoors how do outdoor growers advoid this? With all the rain and everything. I've sprayed lolita with ph'd water only (through-out the flowering period.) If this is a bad practice please let me know. And how can I check for bud rot?
Yeah its defo bad practice through flowering! Its standard indoor growing tech mate. Foliar feed through veg all day long they love it. But don't pH foliar feed it only put acid on the leaves . It doesnt affect pH of medium as its just foliar. Trust me on all of this as i've had bad bud rot because of it. This aint crap internet advice it advice from experinace and standard knowledge.
Also an outdoor plant that gets rained on has much better air flow and wind to dry it off quick but if you was growing outdoors and you have a rain its practice during flower to shake the water off them to get rid of it as water sitting on buds rots them, trust me on this. Dont ever do it during flower
Also cut your waters down as i see over watering on them. Really I have made both of these mistakes in previous grows with no one saying dont do it and ended up learning myself from it. Keep them dry and they will love it. Water medium when pot really light in soil. They find water somewhere in it and will have strong root for trying to find it.
my result of spraying during late flower.......

And this is why I'm glad to have you around my journal! 
I will be looking into bud rot a little more today. I don't think I will have any issues because after each time I foliar fed I put the fan on high and within an hour I'd check and she would be dry then i'd turn down the fan. I was trying to recreate the outdoor environment. My thought process was that rain storms generally come with high winds and calm sunny days have less wind. So I think I might have saved myself from disaster. But to truly advoid disaster is to never put yourself in the position. Thanks again!
