I'm taking the high road with my second grow, WW, crit+ and bluehash.

[Shadeslay]

It wasn't a perfect grow 2 and half weeks ago, but it might as well have been. In that time frame two of my biggest and strongest girls taken some serious damage. Perhaps enough to send them back weeks and possibly lose out a significant amount of my yield from the two ladies.

Jumping a head of myself. I'm using a 2.25' x 3' x 5' area sectioned off. In a 3'x8x8'' closet with two cheap sliding doors attached to a 8'x10' room. 300cfm inline w/carbon that alternates venting outside the room and outside the closet. And a 20" floor fan for circualtion.

With a 400w hps (mh for veg), soil is a mix of super soil and fox farms ocean forest and perilite. Nutes are fox farm grow big, tiger bloom and cal mag. I feed them once a week or an occasional every other watering when needed.


Started germ 3/20/11, 5 week veg (2 of those were scaling back time to 12/12). 12/12 started 4/29/11, most showed sex 3-4 days later. The 3 tall ladies are White Label - White Widow, the mid size is Dinafem - Critical+ and the small one is Dinafem - Blue Hash. To read the exploits of these ladies, read my journal. https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog11897-breif-history.html

Thank you, it's just a shame two of the bigger ones won't fill out as nicely as they could have.

Oh yes it is, I would have loved to see that one at full performance. It's a strain that I now consider a must have. I swear the crit bud is so dense it seems like it is going take me a month to dry.

Curious what you guys think I'll get from the two that got damaged. The topped one had about 10 days of stunted growth from the sleeping bag crushing it and is still a slight bit sensitive to the light/heat. While the one with rust spots has been hurt for about 6 days now and still not fully recovered but on a slow mend (another week hopefully). The main cola has about 60% damage to the larger fan leaves, but still has a decent amount of smaller ones.

Initially I was hoping for 3oz from each, but with both of them basically missing out on weeks 5-7, I'm thinking my yield will fall dramatically? or will it lengthen the flower process? both?

Crit+ Has been pulled, she runted like mad. It took 10 days for the first leaves to become half the size of the cotyledon leaves. 3 weeks just to get the 3rd node, after this though she grew like mad.




The plant nick named "Topped" has seen it's fair share and then some. I thought it was all peachy, but just recently noticed that were she had split in 1/2 down where she was top "two branch halves" just split apart again. How the hell she is still alive and looking as good as she does is one of the miracles of nature. Nearly 70-80% of her was toppled over, twisted and nearly broken in half and she still carries on, gone through humidity spikes, heat spikes w/ low humidity. She's a trooper.
More recent photo's of the girl, looking even better regardless she's nearly split in half on the main stem. She is still a little underdeveloped, as one would expect.



"Rust" another nick name. She was my pride and joy about 2 weeks ago she contracted some funky rust crap that would target the newer growth. A single rust spot would develop in the center of a leaf blade and progress, basically cutting the leaf blade in half. All branches that had the rust became extremely sensitive to light. As a result a significant portion of the main cola's leaves have been fried off "I really should have built a sun screen for the cola" . regardless she is on the mend "slowly" but I fear the main cola will not fill out any more. Which has me contemplating tying it down so the bottom bud shelf will get more light.
The Rust, those leaves have had it, once it's on there that leaf blade is a goner.

Newer pics. She like "Topped" will unlikely fill out near as much as I had hoped.



The one named "Sativa" get's her name from being more like a WW sativa then an indica. Tall and stretchy and impossible to control. The only one of my babies not to suffer from something. Being more sativa she is about 2 weeks behind the other ladies.
Backside

Front side of the plant, those are "Topped's" cola's on the left side of the photo.



Blue Hash - this one suffered many issues as well. She stunted after her 3rd node for just over 2 weeks. She was in to big of a pot and ended up getting slightly over watered. Not many photos of her because she is only 14" tall and not much to look at, but she smells delicious like blueberry pancakes.
