White widow autofem indoor journal

[Trimmings426]

Just went through and read and checked out your entire journal up till this point and I'll have to say I'm impressed with the auto your growing. I've never tried growing any autos before, just not my cup of tea I don't think. For me I like to be in control of my girls and flip'em when I want them to begin flowering and not have them tell me when they are going to start. I guess what I worry most about growing autos is the fact that they could flip over to flowering if their sick or under stress and thats not good for them so I've read and heard. But you are doing a awesome job with your WW Autos, so keep it up and Happy Growing Retodd.

Dude..thanks a lot! I appreciate that. I may have said it somewhere in my journal, but I chose the ww autos because of what I read about them. I wanted something with a high yield, high thc, easy to grow, and fast growing. The widow kept coming up as #1. Thanks to the help of everyone on here, yourself included, they’re doing fabulous. I’m going to grow the blue cheese next. I think it was Blazed227 that told me I should get get autos down indoor before moving to photo. I’m a outdoor grower, so this is a great learning curve. It was nice too yesterday just sitting in there with them listening to some Jethro Tull and some Price while spraying them down...lol

 

[Trimmings426]

Damn bro that sounds so great and totally relaxing need a hamick and a big WW blunt and just lay back check out the greenary and Let It Happen!!!

 

[Blazed227]

nah wasn't me that said that, lol, I've only grown autos once so, I learned on photos... there more forgiving in my opinion. ..if u screw up while there in veg u can pretty much recover from anything it will grow back... with an auto, if u screw up, u only got so much time before she starts flowering so ...there's Def less room for mistakes with an auto...BTW the girls look gteat bro, I had to cut the 2 down that I had out in the swamp....=( the bud rot tookem out early....an the widow had all the biggest tightest buds.. they were freakin beautful... I managed to save about 4 oz... of the smallet buds... all the big ones were ruined.. hopefully there mature enough to give u half a buzz... I've lost so much to bud rot this season already... an the buds aren't even all that big yet.. hoping I don't loose it all an atleast can cover what I spent on dirt an shit....

 

[Retodd]

Fuck all that bro...this is supposed to be a relaxing way of life. I haven’t checked on my outsiders for a week. I’m going to roll out there here in a little while after my bandages get done. I can’t wait to see them and send you guys pix w the new iPad. As far as my autos go, I guess they are good to learn with. I haven’t seen them in two days. I had my mom take care of them yesterday. You see...I’m on bed rest right now dealing with these damned pressure sores. I’m only allowed minimal time in my chair and when I do it’s all about caring for the girls...lol. Oh yeah, Trimmings426 I keep having problems going to your thread. Blazed227 I’m always getting you and Cannabliss mixed up on conversations....lol. You guys are the ones I mainly talk to. Well, gonna finish this cup o joe, bandage, and get with the program. I’m super excited to see the outsiders! Hoping to see some much improved plants and they recovered after the scare of blight or rust. They’ve been sprayed a couple times with copper

 

[Cannabliss]

Retodd I get mix ups a lot on here. Mostly due to avatars that are similar. I always double check before I hit the "Post Reply" button lol. Hope you feel better my friend.

 

[Retodd]

So, the outsiders are doing great. Looks like the copper did it’s job. When I went to the room to check the girls I seen the door was closed, so it was hot in there. Temp inside the tent was 90! Moms are allowed to make mistakes tho and no harm done. Seeing hairs all over them is getting me excited to see the buds start. I took some random pix of the outsiders. God, I love the picture quality of the new iPad! Oh...only 3 of them made it through the fungus, whatever it was. 🎶playing Taps for her. Enjoy the pix guys

 

[Retodd]

Since taking those fan leaves off the other day the girls have exploded with growth! Buds are starting to become more defined now. One stalk literally grew 2” in the last couple days. When I can I need to raise the light again...lol. I think I may be trusting a friend of mine about my growing. He’s a cool dude and I know I can trust him. Famous last words. Have to think about it tho. He’s not a smoker and has only tried once. Decisions decisions. Ok all...peace

 

[Retodd]

This is what I’m talking about buddy. Raised the light and she’s still 16” from it. I’m trying to think of a safe way to attach lines to the stalks so I can bend them down and attach them to the bag. I’d like to grab each one about 1\2 way up to pull them down. I only really have to deal with 4 of them. If I grab 1/2 way up then they’ll flex more. oldjarhead100 hope you could chime in too. I might grab something weight wise from outside to tie the wires to to put on the outside of the bag. Any help especially old pix of what you guys may have done in the past would be great. I’m going to address this today.

 

[Redwasp]

I attach mine to the bag/pot using safety pins. They work great. They are cheap, easy to move/adjust, and are reusable.

 

[Retodd]

Here’s the plan...gonna tie these two down and leave the tent open till tonight or however long it takes for them to turn upright towards the light. And then rotate the bag to the other side and do the other two. I’ll keep the door to the room closed so it’ll retain heat in here. It’ll drop in humidity, but only for a day or two until I get these straightened out, or should I say bent and trained. Guess I’m gonna end up with the SOG that I wanted. I just wish I had more room for a larger tent. Wish me luck

 

[Redwasp]

You may want to look into super cropping. Are those stems gonna bend without breaking? If not super cropping is an awesome tool. You will actually increase the size of the buds on the stems you super crop.

Anyways sounds like a decent plan. Just try to make sure your canopy is even when your done.

 

[Retodd]

I did that a week ago. There’s very few fan leaves on them. That’s why they look so sparce and skinny...lol. I waiting till the new growth was 3” and then took the leaves off. I’ll do it one more time in a week or two. Redwasp

 

[Retodd]

Can’t help but to post these, but I decided to let my friend know about my grow. He has a light on his phone, so we took a couple pix. I needed to chop a nearby weed and he was able to swing the machete. I’m so looking forward to seeing how they all turn out. They are averaging about 3” colas right now. Enjoy✌🏻

 

[Redwasp]

Very nice. You will have a very nice fall.

 

[Cannabliss]

Sounds like a good plan. Is the pic you provided in this reply the aftermath of the super cropping? Can I ask why take off more fan leaves? They don't really look too bushy and they're going to need those fan leaves.

 

[Redwasp]

I think you are mixing up supercropping with defoliating. They do not need any more defoliating. Supercropping is a way to bend the stems and cause the plant to expend more energy growing the buds.

 

[Trimmings426]

Looking good Bro. Next season I'm gonna do a outside grow with my last 2 Northern Lights, just gotta find a good secluded spot to make a home for them. I've seen the Lights grow outside before and the yeilds are impressive as hell. If I'm not mistaken I think around 17 or 18 ounces per plant, now that kinda shit I can dig brother. You have yourself a great night RT and talk to you soon. Happy Growing bud.

 

[Retodd]

So, just got finished supercropping and training the girls. They’re healthy, so I did the cropping while still finishing the bending. I started on it the other day and it looks all kinds of narly. Buds are firing up nice and I should see some real progress by wed. They are 36 days old today. They’ll be caught up to my outsiders in a couple weeks. That blows my mind. I’m already looking forward to starting the blue cheese. At least I won’t be going in blind on my second auto grow. I have a plan for doing the bags. I’m going to do zip tie rings every 1/2” around the bag and that way I can attack wires or whatever to them and the branches anywhere on the pot. I’ve never seen anyone else do it. I remember one of you is going to 5 gal on your next grow. You may try it first. Well, until next time✌🏻 Have a great Patrick’s Day☘️

 

[Retodd]

Fuck all! Started yesterday too and has been going all night. My poor outsiders. I may have to drag them into the carport later. Don’t want bud rot like some of you others
