Ok, ere we are folks, welcome to Blue's bear den. We will be discussing the life and times of 1 rescued White Widow. Age and origin are unknown. Approx age 2 weeks from being rooted. It was rooted in a jiffy cube and then put in a RW block. I do not prefer RW because of possible PH fluxes and occasional yeasty beastie growth on top of the cubes, but since I will place in a bubbler once roots pop out of the bottom I will not have to top feed, hence I will avoid some of the related problems.
I am transitioning the girl over to my feeding nutes so we will see how she responds.
In about 2 weeks I will pluck a couple clones off of her and keep one for a mother.
Set up, She is dwelling in my veg/mother cab under a air cooled 400W in my double C24 which use to house a 1000K Hortilux for maximum growth, LOL, cheap plug.
Other occupants of the 400W cave, 1 Alpha 13 which is a BigBudxSkunk number 1 that is in the bubbler, I placed her in there 2 nights ago after rescuing her back from a friend who has a different growing environment from me, LOL. If she doesn't put on some more uniformed branching in her new growth I will just take a few clones and lay her down, RIP, but we will hope for the best.
Next, 8 clones that I just transplanted into those pots about 2 days ago which are approx 2 weeks from being rooted, will veg for approx 2 more weeks and then throw in the 2K room. They are a Afghani strain from DR. Chronic. Usually the 400 would be about 4 inches closer, but since I have a few things going on in that cave I need a little larger FT print for the light to get better coverage.
What else is there, oh, two seedlings that are part of the "Children of the Attic" who fell behind in there growth so instead of plucking them I rinsed off the roots and tested out my baby wipe bubbler.
2 more of those DR. clones in Rapid Rooters that are going to go in a bubbler once roots show, as you can see they have no dome on them, I haven't even misted them once since I cut them, this is do to spraying with Anti Wilt after cutting them. It is nice to not have to mist 5 times a day with so many other things going on.
If your still reading, LOL the last is a cross between a local un named strain crossed with a feno type of the Purple Lion, the feno type was not purple so there is a low likely hood that I will get any purple off it, but I do have one of the purple in the 2K cave and it is very much purple. The guy I got it from calls it Chang, I may change the name, but don't want to be unethical. Believe it or not as of 2 days ago this plant was in a 4x4 square pot with all of the roots balled up and breaking threw the bottom, poor thing and such a beautiful plant, but as you can see I have given it some breathing room, by now IMO the roots should of filled a whole 1.6 gallon pot up, but the root ball once rinsed was no bigger than an orange. I think I am going to baby her and make her into a mother if she produces well.
Well, that is it for now, will up date the Widow in a few days, but feel free to ask any questions, or make any comments. Oh, I think that I am going to name the Widow Annie, like orfen Anni since I feel that I rescued her, so I guess that makes me Daddy Warbuck, LOL
Adieu
