W.W.(f) Canuk seeds. 1kw HPS

[Euroaznscotty]

I'm at 40% sunshine mix #4 with 40% perlite and 20% organic compost.
I use iguana juice for veg and kool bloom with molasses come flower.

[Euroaznscotty]

This plant I'm not going to defoliate too much except leaves that are going. I'm also not planning on removing any bud sites for the next couple weeks to let her fill out for the light.

[Euroaznscotty]

Finished up week one of flower!

Bud sites are starting to develop nicely.

[alltatup]

Wow, scotty, your bud sites look fabulous!! Very nice training.

[Euroaznscotty]

Thanks! I really wanted to focus on training a leaves canopy this grow. Last grow was a bit crazy.

[Euroaznscotty]

Last grow:

[alltatup]

She's totally Sativa!!! That's how they grow.

[Euroaznscotty]

I've found with using a smaller area with the same 1kw bulb dimmed to 750W, has a light density that actually helps to reduce stretching. Nodes are much closer together.

[alltatup]

That is fascinating, and you, sir, are a genius.

[Euroaznscotty]

Was away for 3 days, was really worried about her drying out but she seems to be doing well! Buds are forming finally!

[alltatup]

She looks fantastic, but I'd remove those funky leaves underneath; she's mighty bushy!!

[Euroaznscotty]

DAY 13 of Flower.

Checked in this morning and I had much tucking to do!

I did do some defoil of the lower and inner leaves to clean up under the main canopy a little bit.

She is growing about 1-2 inches a day with bud sites appearing everyday.

[Mr.furley]

Looking good, nice clean up job I bet she will reward you for the hair cut.

[alltatup]

Buds looking lovely!!!

[Euroaznscotty]

Mr.furley alltatup thanks you two! I am thinking about turning my ballast back up to 1kw to get some more light in there. Now that temps are lower, I think the tent will handle it.

[Euroaznscotty]

Just a quick picture update!

[Euroaznscotty]

DAY 19 FLOWER

well not much to report. I've had to redo some of the tucking just to expose the plethora of bud sites that are popping up everywhere. These are going to be some dense bud sites!

[alltatup]

I've done that, too--defol too much. I just don't want you to get mildew!!! ;-}

[Euroaznscotty]

Oh I hear ya. I've been keeping a close eye on her insides
Light is able to penetrate through the canopy in most spots so I'm not too worried. Also My humidity is really low at 40%.

[alltatup]

I'm about to set up the dehumidifier at the door of the grow room so the warm air blows out into the hall. Mine are in week 4 flower.

[Euroaznscotty]

DAY 20 Flower.

Well, I am now a married man as of Saturday! So here is an update of the "other" lady.

[alltatup]

Congrats, scotty!!!!! Mazel tov!!!!!!!!

[Euroaznscotty]

A picture update! She is filling out, I'd love to defoliate some but I am just worried with the amount of mosaic leaves. We shall see. I am thinking that she has... 3 weeks or so left, I will start the flush soon. Just water and molasses.

[Redwasp]

Looks like more than 3 weeks. It might just be me but I'd wait a bit longer

[SinsemillaScientist]

Id gave to agree was Redwasp on this one id say 3 plus but check your trichomes that will help guixe you in the right direction

[alltatup]

Scotty, I've been looking around at what various sources have to say about TMV. IF that's what the plant has, your final yield may be smaller because TMV stunts growth. However, your plant looks fine as far as bud development goes.

It seems there's a lot of disagreement about the virus, and some panic and hysteria. However, it's not like bud mold and it doesn't ruin buds.

I think she looks great. I wouldn't flush for three weeks, though... This is the crucial time for final bud fattening.

[Redwasp]

But pretty plants.

[Euroaznscotty]

So I finally broke down and decided to give her a bit of a haircut to open up some bud sites and get more ventilation.

[Euroaznscotty]

Mr.furley did or didn't over do it? Lol

[alltatup]

You definitely didn't over-do it!!!

[Mr.furley]

Didn't. sorry! Badmotorfinger.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Euroaznscotty ,Looking very nice, good job.
Dont be afraid to remove a few leaves, you are not hurting a thing, if anything you are helping grow larger buds.
Keep up the good work.!!

[Euroaznscotty]

D.A.A.S.69 alltatup Mr.furley

Thanks guys and gal!
The first thing I noticed this morning when I checked on her was the smell! That signature white widow smell is starting to soak into the tent
I think I may do a bit more defoil but its been hard to determine which leaves to take off with this plant. So far I've taken off all fan leaves below the main canopy that weren't getting any light then a few that were sitting on top of each other or blocking bud sites.
Its been growing so incredibly bushy since seed and flower hasn't been much different. I think I only saw 4-5 inches of flowering stretch. The rest has been interior growth.
By the breeders timeline the flower should be complete in 54 days. (https://www.canukseeds.com/white-wid...ds-canuk-seeds)
So off that I have just under 4 weeks remaining. By "soon" for the flush I ment 2 weeks left.

[alltatup]

Get air flow around all the colas as best you can. Colas like to gently move in a breeze...

[Euroaznscotty]

Conducted the last defoil. Thinking I have a nice even canopy and the light penetration should be good enough. Still left a fair amount of leaves this grow.

[alltatup]

D.A.A.S.69 Thanks for the correction. I took a closer look at the leaves.

[D.A.A.S.69]

alltatup, is this supposed to be Tobaco virus ? I've never seen it before I don't reckon.looks kinda like potassium to me, but I ant never seen tobacco virus
Sure is pretty plants, ain't they ? Maybe getting a little to much Nitrogen, they look kinda dark ,might be the light though,idk.
