Day 40 in flower- Day 109 from seed


Hey guys.....Only 20 days left until HARVEST DAY and she looks so tasty. I'm extremely happy with this plant. The LST kept the plant nice and short with multiple tops and great bud formation. She is starting to look really sticky after I added CARBOLAOD to her diet last week. I really can't wait until I smoke this. This BUD looks 100% better than my last grow...YUM YUM. Here is a PIC update for you all. Thanks for stopping by my thread, please ask any question and ++REP me if you think I deserve it....

P.S.- I can't wait until you guys see the black widow I have been hiding from you for a little while.....Now that is monster in the making......I lost track how long she has been vegged for...........LOLOLOL stay tuned for that update as soon as this WHITE WIDOW plant is done....

I'm going to do a few things different next grow. I want bigger buds and trying to figure that out with what I have!. Still a learning process for me!

That there hasn't plumped up yet, you still have a month to go. Other than tighter canopy management you will need a bigger light for bigger buds. There is a ceiling you hit with the amount of light provided. You will be more pleased in the next couple weeks, widow tends to pack it on till the end.

reg water, when u adjust ph its for nutrient up take so when u flush shes already has what she needs u need to get rid of the excess dont waste your ph adjustment to go down the drain , alot of water = better taste

Buuuut, if you want her to take up what is left in the soil use ph'd......
You should consider using lime to "fix" the ph for the life of the grow. It is more stable and much cheaper than correcting your water itself.

From my research, you only need to flush if you're using chemical based nutes (not organic) or if you have some kind of problem through your grow and want to clean up before drying/curing. There's no need to flush otherwise. Your plants use the nutes to grow bigger and better buds, so why stop using them?
Think about it, they grow in the wild and don't get flushed...

Use organic nutes - 'Plant Magic' is reputedly better than most other 'cheap' nutes available, cheaper than most and organic as well :)
 
A good friend of mine tried it and says he increased production BUT not a half pound per plant and he is still trying and he has about 30 girls, I have not seen anything to make me change from good ol love and light, Nutes and enviorment.......The only way to go
Peace Brother and good Luck with your plan,
Loaded for Bud

Dude, this grow is captivating! I'm very excited to see what you can do. I think that instead of increasing light size, it is better to max out your abilities with the equipment and strains you have. The more familiar you are, and the more feeling you have for the system the better you can do. My main goal for the next 5 years of growing is to get as efficient with the lighting system I have right now plus a few amendments. Go for a gram per watt, or hell, go for even more. I'd say get a larger grow area to start and it'll allow you more room to do interesting things. Good luck sir!

i flush with sweet n ph it to 6. but i would ph water to 6 6.5 because the plant always takes nutes up even at a high ph or low ph. But as a rule of thumb its personal prefrence, i know people who flush with gravity so try diffrent stuff, i use a notebook to kinda keep track of diffrent nute combos n ppms. have a growtastic day.

I have been reading a lot on flushing and not flushing....there are so many opinions on this subject makes it so complicated. I didn't flush my last harvest. I went straight threw last day gave her water and chopped and dried it correctly. after curing bud tasted fine so why do so many say flush and so many say don't flush?

Best way to tell is with a lightedloupe. Harvest when heads are fully formedvand turn milky not amber but milky. Nice grow brotha man.
