A new grow, GG#4/WW/BW

If you are going for a tent HTG supply has the one I purchase its 8feet by 4 with 2 big doors in front , I split it into two rooms bloom and veg ,I used that flexible insulation thats about a quarter inch thick that worked great for about 5 years then one of the zippers broke so its a veg room and auto room that I never shut , here is the link but if you want to take a ride pm me its in shewsbury and I'm always up for a visit lol www.htgsupply.com/products/agromax-extra-large-grow-tent
 
I'll take that as an open invitation OJH (g). Won't need a tent until next new years when I start my annual indoor grow. But hey, maybe a road trip will be in order this summer!
Still battling the white widow, but may finally be winning. The blue, widow continues to be the stand out at this point, largest, densest bud, couldn't be happier with this breed.
In fact I tried to order more seeds of it from 420guys, but they are out and I'm on the waiting list.
I do have a single seed left and will guard it with my life(ha,ha).
Looking into other hybrids with the berry bomb cross.
Been picking up the intensity of defoliating as of late, hard to limit myself to 6 leaves a day(lol), I have a tendency to over prune.
All the best.
-2 this morning, but thank goodness the wind died down. I have lot's of branches down out on the back 40.
 
Day 58, 24 after flip. Untangled the gorilla glue to get a shot of the blue widow. A couple of holes in her where the GG was tangle in.
Ordered another 1/2 dozen blue widow seeds today, they're back in stock. Surprised the BW is "greasier" than the GG at this point.
All the best.

As we finish wk 4 of flowering, I broke my 6 leaf max per day defoliation rule. Did a major defoliation. ( a bit late I guess)
Hopefully the girls can handle it, they were plenty healthy. Time will tell, I wanted/needed to get more light penetration to the lower bud sites.
Dang, looks like very cold weather will return for next week!
All the best
 
why the 6 leaf rule do you think it affects there growing speed???? I usually take alot off of my girls when I clip I clip lol, lately I have been wondering if it slows them down at all.

Its March doesn't matter the weather its all temporary lol
 
If you are pull a small amount everyday then everyday you are stressing your plant a small amount. It is best to pull some and give them a little break, a day or two then pull more. The best is to drop 25% at a time then wait. I will defoli any time in flower depending on there needs.
Cold weather is killing, 20f yesterday -10f tonight it is hard to keep things stable. Looking good GS.
 
That's a good question OJH. I've never grown the strains before so really have no comparison. Not to mention I have no where near the experience you fella's have. I figured it might be less stressful, but what Mr. Furley says makes sense.
I definitely hit it hard, I would say in excess of 25%.
The white widow is still kicking my ass , think the stretch has pretty much stopped, now it's the bud growth on the top. I can raise my light up a bit more, but will no longer be able to turn it to optimize the coverage. Am I correct that at some point lower intensity light won't inhibit bud growth as much later in the flowering cycle? Or is that just wishful thinking (g)
A defoliated pic and pic of some of the blue widow tops. I am not expecting to get those pretty blue pistils like in the seed ad (vgb)
I appreciate all the advice ya'll have to offer!!

Got my seeds in the mail this morning, can't beat the service Paul puts out.

those are some nice plants I'm really likeing that blue widow ,I think I will have to try it
My rule of thumb is when I can't see the pot to water it its to bushy ,after they are in bloom I defoliate at 3 weeks, I do wonder if it makes them grow leafs instead of height bulk ect.
 
"I do wonder if it makes them grow leafs instead of height bulk ect." That is the million dollar question OJH, I'm sure everyone wonders the same thing.
Thanks for the encouragement guys!! I hope Mr. Furley will remind me to be patient, not necessarily my strong suit (lol)
I see a number of nights next week near 0 temps. I sure will be happy when I've put the last piece of wood in the woodstove for the season!
All the best. ----I need to bring in wood ;*(
 
its still snowing I figure its winters fuck off storm lol the last one before spring .I started regular seeds for the outside grow I started 5 of each strain and then will clone for the plants I need
 
I think you're getting more snow than us this go around, you can have it! (lol). I saw the kids in Boston got a snow day today, they must be a happy lot. Noticed some hairs changing color of the BW...slowest through veg, but fastest through flowering so far. Snapped a top on the WW by accident this morning, the cord from my light fell and hammered it. Was able to quickly stand it back up and so far it's stayed, so we'll see.
Struggled, but did get my light up another inch, now 11" from the closest top directly below it. Maybe I'm finally seeing a bit of fattening of the WW tops, otherwise they are long and pretty skinny.
You can probably tell, I am less than happy with the WW.
Haven't spoken much about the GG4, it's looking pretty good so far.
I am determined to finish my friggin taxes today, write the checks,get them out the door and in the mail.
That will officially close out 2018 and I can start worrying about 2019! (ha,ha).
Have a great day.
(my house smells like Spring anyways!)
 
another day, another 0 degree morning (g). Rejiggered and got my light up another inch, now have about 12" between light and canopy. A bit better spread, remember I'm using a commercial parking lot light, so it's pretty focused. Blue widow probably gets the least amount of light tucked into the corner of my closet.
Speaking of which, she's getting frosty though.
(KISS grow-topped once/no training, soil, 2 part nuets and light. Less than 12 ft from the woodstove, desert humidity(g), cold morning temps, no idea what my well water ph is)

very frosty I had a plant ounce that was in its final week but still hadn't bulked up so I gave it one more shot of Molasses and 3 days later I couldn't put my fingers around her so patience is key lol
 
Morning OJH, please tell me more about administering molasses, I see I have some on my refrigerator door(g).
That blue widow is turning quick it seems to me, only at end of week 5 and half the pistils on the tops have turned orange. Non have turned on the WW or GG. Think I should defoliate some more on the tops?
Sometimes the hardest thing to do, is nothing(vbg)

GreenState I always check the breeer's info about indoor growth--height, heavy or moderate yield, size of colas etc., cuz I love to grow more than one strain in the same box.
 
What a grand view to gaze apon :D

I don't use molasses (hydro) - all I know is you have to use UNSULPHURED molasses. check it before you use it :D

when it comes to 'do nothing' I have had to resort to some reminders:
I have duct taped my snippers :D
I have made 2, 'NO TOUCH' signs (for specific plants)
