White widow autofem indoor journal

[Retodd]

Typical Todd moment...🙄. So, the blower fan I got for my tent is a 450 cfm. I have every vent open and even the top of the door and it’s still sucking the tent inward😂. Between it, the 9”, and the 5” stem fan, there sure is lots of air movement going on in there. Humidity is like zero now. It’s a good thing I folier feed them multiple times a day. They have done another growth spurt. That’s a good thing. Hope you guys give me some thumbs up on Wednesday when I post pix....lol.
I love a good learning experience. What to do and what not to do on my next grow. Fluxing the blue cheese is a must! I need a bigger LED light. My soil mix is just fine, so there’s that. Looks like my fans are gonna be ok now and airflow. I’ll need to master my defoliation technique. I think I will increase the amount of perlite in my soil. Anyone ever use the Co2 bags? I thought of using one, but since I open my tent a couple times a day it would just cancel it out. What are your thoughts? Anything else I need to research for my winter grow? Thanks guys

We’re on day 3 of rain and as you can see, we have much more coming. Had to move the girls to the back porch and throw the 24” fan on them. Now that I went airbags this year I’m never going back to just putting them in the ground.👍🏻👌🏻 I like the ease of getting them out of the weather when need be. On average my plants are 7-10’. These shorties make it easy this year. Guess I’ll see how it goes next year

So, even after taking precautions and moving them on the porch out of the rain and putting the fan on them I still ended up with bud rot! I had a ton of leaf damage and death on my outsiders. Paranoia really kicked in when I got home and seen a package that was delivered onto my porch from UPS. Plants are on my back porch. They are stupid skunky. Well, that’s my outside update.
My WWs are looking great and it looks like I’ll have the SOG I was wanting. I took a couple pix before and after their spraying. I can’t wait to see some massive buds on them too.
This year has just sucked for most of us growing outdoors. Most of you that I follow on here have lost a ton due to rot, so I’m not going to bitch about the little I did so far.
You guys might laugh at what I have to deal with this weekend.....A guy is driving out from CO interested in buying my farm and is going to look at my house, property, shop, etc. I am going to have to hide my girls, take my tent out of the bathroom and prolly hide it in my truck, and just be on edge the whole time....ugh. I can use the $400K tho.
well all...enjoy and hope I get a few likes.

My ups man stopped and knocked on my door once just to tell me the police where sitting at the end of my street. Lmao but you may be legal soon.

 

[Retodd]

Fuck this fuckin rain! Non stop! It’ll be nice when my plants can actually be back in some sun

 

[Blazed227]

I feel ya buddy.. I made an executive decision. To cut my last outdoor down... It ended up gettin mold to
. was only a little bit but if ida left it ...would beem nothing left.. Rained everyday since

 

[Retodd]

Blazed227 I just read your post. Sux buddy. I am partial to blueberry myself. It’s my go to strain for pain/spasms. Seems everyone on here got hit this year.

 

[Blazed227]

Yea it was one of the best I've grown.. Or even smoked in a while... Making some rso for the wife right now.. Finishing up now In the rice cooker.. Just about done👍👍 about n hour left.. I used all tje trim an pop corn from The blue dream,blueberry @n pineapple skunk indoor.. Looks like I'm gonna get alot more then I thought.. Didnt keep any of the out door trim because of the mold an shit all thru it.. Didnt wanna deal with it..

 

[Retodd]

If there was enough of the outdoor you coulda still done a alcohol method to make tincture. Sucks to waste anything ya know

 

[Blazed227]

Well I did use alcohol.. Everclear.. To wash the bud then strained it an cooked the alcohol off in the rice cooker then finished cooking it on a little electric burner.. Turned out STRONG as hell... Seriously put me to sleep.. Then I woke up said oh fu k this an went back to bed lmao

 

[Retodd]

Blazed227 good deal...I’d kill for a good nights sleep

NAKEDGARDENER Thought you might appreciate this update too since I put pipe pix on. I’m going to start on the pipes from Lord of the Rings this weekend if I get the chance. I’m thinking of using blond walnut since it’s a ivory color. Message me if your still wanting one.
So, it’s Wednesday and time for my update. I’m selling the farm, so all the girls are hidden outside including the widows. Can’t have people in the house seeing a grow tent with them in it now can I? Lol. The one guy that came out from Colorado to look at the farm is a smoker and was happy to know I had smoke on hand. He hung out in my shop a bit and wanted a pipe, so I made him this quickie out of some walnut.
The girls have all been doing good. You can see on the leaves where my mom screwed up and sprayed them with regular city water and the bleach they put in our water supply speckled them a bit. They’ll recover just fine. I have our cooking herbs in my tent right now in case anyone sees it. I’m lucky that the forecast for the next 10 days is nice and they’ll be ok outside. Have more people coming this weekend to look at the place.
oldjarhead100 Still needing a good reference on a large LED light for my tent guys. I thought of going MH since the room gets cold in the winter, but don’t want a large electric bill. OJH100 said his uses a lot. Message me with some links. I’m going to start my blue cheese next month. Thanks guys

 

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Will pm you later about the pipe but good luck on the sale and also I love this story of the plants and all you do for them. I want to say much more other than that I love the pics but I want to mention the KING LED full spectrum, they are available up to 3k and reasonably priced. I bought the 1200w one and am thinking of buying three more for my indoor shop

Had to move them back to the porch again. More dealings with bud rot. Had to sacrifice a few today. This weather and humidity we’ve had this year is just redunkalous. The girls are back in the tent again and had to pluck some jacked up leaves from them too. The briars and vines on the one hill where they were at just attacked them. Oh, so I ordered a 60X lease that attaches to my iPad and got it in yesterday. Should make it cooler to take pix than just using my eye loop. I’ll tool around with it soon enough. Hard to tell from the pix of my outside grow, but the colas are only about 5” right now on average. I should still get a decent harvest out of them anyway. Me and a friend smoked some that was broken and I dried from 2 weeks ago. Still had the green taste to it, but a good mellow buzz. I should be able to narrow it down more once I dry and cure them. I know I have 3 totally different strains, so they’ll be dried separately. Whatever I don’t keep at least I know it’ll go to my buddy. He can’t wait for the WW. It’s going for $100/quarter where I’m at. I’ll keep y’all updated.✌🏻

 

[Retodd]

I had spaced out taking pix of the widows on Wednesday. Here’s the girls and tried out the new 60X lense for the iPad. Still getting the jist of it. Until I see y’all later. Trimmings426 You need to order one too. I got it at amazon.

 

[Retodd]

Sooooo....had to throw away a shit load of buds from rot and mold.🤬. Figured I’d harvest early, had no choice. I’ll do a weigh in on the randoms in a few days. I guess I’ll just get what I get. I ordered my 60% cure packs and should have them here in a few days. I should only need one....lol. I know a lot of you guys got hit way worse than me too. Maybe it’ll be better next year guys. Talk to y’all soon✌🏻

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hate to hear about that mold, everyone I know that grows outdoors, caught hell, from the mold -bud rot this year. It was just a bad year, down my way, but maybe next year will be a bumper crop for all.
At least you got some smoke, I'd check it real good before you burn any though, just to be safe. That mold-rot, can hurt you.

 

[Retodd]

D.A.A.S.69 We literally picked through the remaining buds and if it had any we tossed the whole bud buddy. That’s why I was sad. Another raw deal is I wasn’t able to do a sugar feeding. I grow all natural. I hope the smoke will still be smooth. It’s still going to be a couple weeks till they’re cured. I’ll be sure to post it. Normally I dry in my building and as you can see, they’re in my bathroom with two fans going on. I have a ceiling exhaust going 24/7 too. It’s really skunky bud, but it’s helping...lol. How much did you loose? My loss was prolly only a total of 1/4-1/2 oz dried. At the same time they didn’t get to get to full potentancy. Not sure what the thc will be. I’m a glass 1/2 full kinda guy anyway

 

[Trimmings426]

Man i just saw what happened and that shit sucks. i started to get a bit of white powdery mildew a couple weeks back but caught it quick enough to get it under control, thank goodness. how much did you end up having to chunk out RT? By the way, i saw your x60 lense you got. What is the name and brand and will it work with a google chrome book 3? Thats what I got that I do most of my posting on except when takeing pics and doing the pic uploads. For that I use my Galaxy Tab A by Samsung My Chrome Book 3 is by Samsung as well. I love my Samsung toys. Let me know how your yeild turns out after they are dried and let me know bout the usb x60 lense, been looking at a couple for a while just haven't bought one yet. I use a Jewlers Loupe x30/x60 and a Microbrite Pocket Microscope x60/x120. both are nice and get the job done only I can't post my tricolm pics. Talk at you later bud. What you gonna grow next time. Myself I got a few White Widow Fem. on the way as we speak should be here by this Friday hopefully and thats my next run.

 

[Retodd]

Here ya go bud. Funny thing..that screenshot is #420 in my pix😂✊🏿. Those are my outside girls that got rot and mold. My widows are still going great. Trimmings426 I also use a 60X loop. Can you take pix w the microbrite?
