A new grow, GG#4/WW/BW

[GreenState]

We got a few inches, windy and blowing snow this morning. It's still winter here, I usually get up and going around the 17th of April, funny how that works out. And that date has changed big time, use to be closer to the second week of May as a start date. Now run well into Nov., a month later. Go figure. So the white widow appears to have nice tops, much fluffier and pointier than the blue widow. Hard to believe how totally different the widows are from one another. One tall, one short, one dense, one fluffy budded. WW pistils are long, BW's are very short.
We'll just let the GG plug along and see what we will see. Trimming will be more of a pain I'm sure. Hopefully she'll sense the end is nearing and signal to the buds that it's time to tighten up every chance they get and get the job done! (ha)

Its awful white out there did you get snow last night to it only looks like a dusting

I hate problems like that I'll look back on my records but I think GG was a little finicky , thats the hard part of growing more than one strain at a time ,you can never zero in on that sweet spot ,you have to go with what the weakest strain will tolerate

So I'm going/am flushing it again. She's awful floppy and hard to move around.
Looking at the gwe symptoms page, I'd lean towards nitrogen toxicity. BWDIK (g)

I'll try and get a pic when I turn the lights off this evening.
Basically it starts by a yellowing of the veins in the leaves, spreads and then brown spots appear. Leaves begin to crinkle up. Pretty much just on fan leaves, but even the tiny ones.
Leaves in the shade are far less affected. It is throughout the plant not just top or bottom.

I used to grow in coco and not water every day about 4 weeks into bloom they would lock out on me and I would have to flush I used a saucer that had holes in it and put that over a 5 gallon bucket then pour 5 gallons of water though it works but takes alot of water ,when I did GG I was a few days from harvesting and no big buds so I gave them a heavy dose of molasses's and 3 days later I could not get my fingers around the buds post a pic of the gg would you please

Well, nothing I have done has seemed to improve my angry gorilla. The 2 different strain widows continue to be happy girls.
So I don't know. I have decided to finish the grow with water only, the white widow looks like it will be the last to finish and still might be a ways away. I'd say a few more weeks for the blue widow. We'll see on the GG4, still seeing production but I think she's certainly being held back by the dying leaves. I expect quantity will take a hit, but quality should be good.
But, I wonder if my issues aren't a result of hot soil, maybe accumulated nuets, or possibly the FFOF soil or combination of both. Funny though the widows are unaffected so far. Seems everything was great through veg and first 4 weeks of flower, then bang on the gorilla.
We'll definitely pick up a PH kit for the next go. And maybe look into different soil, but again the widows look fine.
Snowing out this morning

Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather OJH. Probably worn down from working all those plants! (g). Hopefully it isn't the flu or something, my sister got that second strain of the flu and knock her for a loop. So another dose of cal-mag this morning and a weak solution of nuets (1/2 of recommended strength for entering wk 7 since flip). Coming into those amazing, critical wks 7 & 8, when the magic really happens (ha).
Lay low and rest!

Sorry to hear about the head cold, OJH!!! Get better soon.

[oldjarhead100]

a fantastic day indeed to bad I came down with a head cold yesterday when the wind picked up the chickens said f this and went back in the barn

[GreenState]

Yes indeed OJH, yesterday was a moral booster for sure! Although, back into the low teens at night here until midweek.
I appreciate everyone's comments, fingers crossed the GG holds out and continues to be productive. Was doing a bit of research on the estimated blue widow flowering time, according to most sites it's a pretty short period plant. I saw as low as 42 days , other sites, generally "6-8 wks". I'm sure there are multiple breeders though. I'll have to start watching her a bit closer in the near future.
The white widow, while tall and lanky is starting to win my heart over. Looking forward to smoking a sativa dominate weed, it's probably been 20 years, maybe longer. My supply guy has always grown indica dominate weed.

WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY US YANKEES HAD YESTERDAY IT HIT 60 PLUS all the cold and misery makes days like yesterday amazing

[oldjarhead100]

nothing wrong with those plants looking great

Fabulous color - great looking colas!

Buds look great, GS. Just go lite on the nutes for the end of the grow; that's what Nebula recommends.
