as i have allways grown indoors, i am woried about insect problems,any advice please outdoor growers?
i have cut off the lower fan leaves
i remember that should help to stop insects climbing up the plant.
all advice you have on outdoors would be great.
have any off you grown ww outside in uk,thinking about it i am only flowering outside,but if temps drop i can go back inside but would like to see yeild diff outside,etc.
 
Be sure to harden em to the outside world slowly over a week or so. They can get sun stressed if they arent used to it.
The high temp in you box will help em adjust to heat outside.
Example -3days each- Half days in shade , then full days in shade, then half day in shade half in sun, then go full sunlight.

Dont cut fan leaves off, they need as many as they can for enegry.

For bugs i use 7-spray from garden store, when they flower ill switch to neem oil tell a few weeks before harvest.
 
ok thanks,the last 2 weeks of vege they were under the 600 watt hps's so don't think there will be a problem there, regards the sun,but hey what do i know regards outside.
have you grown ww outside?
 
i went on a search and this is all I could find on growing WW outdoors "The yield from a white widow plant will increase a lot if it’s grown outside but this is not a popular strain for outdoor growth."-http://www.maryjanesgarden.com/white-widow/strain.php

Difficult info to find??? I would say you won't have much issue with them outdoors. Just out of curiosity, why? After vegging under some sweet lights you choose to flower outside?
 
first of all thanks for replying,the reason is my temps are to high in the grow room,temps are hitting 95-100 in mid day,and the plants are showing heat stress,wich is going to happen in those temps,so i have been thinking really hard what to do and because cash is tight at the moment,all i could think was to try flowering outdoors,believe me it is killing me to take them out of the grow room,but i have to do what is best for the plants and my yield at the end.
 
ok,this is what i have done brought them back inside for the night and put under 2 t5 cfl's till i make my mind up what to do.please..........................feel free to comment.
 
hey macsmoke24

can't help much, i'm an indoors guy - you can only grow cactus outdoors where i live. but it really sounds like you have things under control, and the plants look good.
 
ok mate, thanks for replying,you helped me out alot with my last grow,i am sure i will get around,thanks again.
 
Im pullin up a chair for this one. I use just neem oil but Pyrethrin is supposed to do the job very well. All the plants look very healthy do you have a rough idea of how long it takes to flower ww
 
my last ww grow i veged for 6 weeks,and flowed for 10 weeks 8 weeks at 12/12 ,last 2 weeks just 8 hours light to force the thc.so i have a good idea,lol
 
this will be my first outdoor grow,just got a problem with temps in growroom,i veged them indoors they have only just gone outside today.its are hottest 2 months here and temps where hitting 95-100 around my plants.
 
If you have them in black grow bags or pots switch out or wrap them in white tape etc its really the roots that suffer the most during heat and black absorbs the most heat.
 
Those plants look beautiful, they should have lots of time to grow big this summer.

The WW's can get pretty big outdoors here in Cali. Here's a pic of my WW's out in my greenhouse this year. The WW's are the 8' footers in the back. And it's only June.

Good luck bro, keep posting.

Peace

Im certan white widow would grow like any other stain of pot outdoors, seen loots of ww outdoor grow on the net, shouldnt be any problem. I believe pretty much all pot (but long season sativas) are good for the outdoors in the middle of americas praries where im at.

If you want advice on how to grow Guerilla grow outdoors id say using 1/4 in square wire cages is the hard lesson ive learned my first season.
Had 100% losses (25 ish plants this season) cause they werent in the cages.

The guys on the net a are worried about slugs? Im worried about deer, rabbits mice, rats, gophers, all killed a wave of my transplats outdoords.

Mothballs, Irish spring soap bars, Garlic, Tobacco juce, fox urine, Hail, 50mhr winds, human hair, cat shit, dog shit, human piss an shit, chicken wire cagees, rotten eggs, deer an rabbit repellant comercial spray all failed. (well the deer an rabbit repellant worked but even neaer 100%

Lamos on the net said they had stuff that worked. But out here in the prarie, all of there advice failed to stop the endless slaugher.

But thiese cages are my daisy, an all my losses this year will pay off next year when i grow some trees in em.

Heres my Refined cage how to vid for the outdoors. 100% safe in them. In very ruff territory!
