White Widow cabinet grow

Or better exhaust fan. I mounted a dimmer on my exhaust fan so I can adjust how hard it runs and I can "adjust" the humidity between 30 and 75% just with the fan.
Now, natrually you want the exhaust to go on full as much as possible to get more air through the cabinet but when lights are out photosyntesis stops and you can turn it down so it just keeps the humidity under control.
So imho a bigger exhaust fan >> dehumidifier as it also gives you the advantage of more air and not only lower humidity.
This will natrually not work if the humidity where you live is high, you can't vent out humidity with "wet" air. :)
I see the difference when it rains or is foggy outside that humidity in my growtent goes up 5-10%. Check what the humidity is in the rest of your appartment a couple of days and if it is 0-30ish % then I would certainly go for the fan over the dehumidifier.

Cheers, Puffzter.

I wish I had done a slightly bigger exhaust from the start. I don't want to construct something mid-grow. Actually, if I'm honest, I can be arsed with the hassle at any time. Plus I am concerned about the additional noise of a bigger exhaust. The other problem is that this house stubbornly remains very humid, so I imagine it would only be as useful as the air its taking in, which is always 60% RH and up.

I do agree that it would be the better solution but I don't think it's what will work for me, at least not with things as they currently are. There may be a move in our future and I would construct things a bit differently. ;)

:)
Just an idea. Your specific situation I natrually don't know anything about and remodelling a cabinet mid grow as you say is not very fun nor practical.

Shit. Shit shit shit. I am going to have to face it. "Tall bitch" is going to need something doing with. I can't pull that light up much further, maybe 20cm (8") or so and that be it. I am 19 days into flower, I am guessing she is going to grow more than 20cm. I don't know what I have been waiting or hoping for, a miracle, I suppose. Either way she is hell-bent on being tall as hell.

I wonder what would be better, breaking her or just letting her growing top surpass the light, off to the left. Is that a really bad thing? I have a hunch it is, but I am having a tough time accepting that I might need to snap her stem. The Puffzter Z formation is looking likely, isn't it?

When it comes to the breaking, when would be better to do this? Now or later? How big of a risk is it? If she snaps completely through, is this going to kill her? I know they are tough girls but this is scary business. What a horrible thing to have to do to a plant. I really hoped it wouldn't come to this.

Yes, that is a nasty pest strip you see up there too. I saw a couple flying things in there and I freaked out. Not a big problem yet and I hope it doesn't become one. Little gnatty bastards.

Dont break her back just yet, looking at my excel log here mine stopped stretch 20-22 days into 12/12. Then a week later I got 2-3 more inches and after that maybe 2 inches the last 5 weeks.

So, my (qualified) guess is that you will have maximum 7-10 more inches of vertical growth now. If you can take 10-14 more you should be in the clear foshoo.

Puffzter

Oh good! Thanks Puffzter! :)

Fingers crossed.

Remember the "qualified guess" though. ;)

Since we have same strain and even breeder yours SHOULD follow the same growth pattern as mine did. If you only have 20 more cm to play with you might have to seriously concider to do something after all I mean.

I like to write but I accept no responsibility for anything hehe. (except when I'm right ofc)

:rastasmoke:

ps if you decide to break her (or anyway) you have my contact info in your reputation list in the user control panel. I'll talk u through it np.

Makes sense to me, Puffzter, thanks. I am holding out a small bit of hope that I won't have to snap her but we shall see. It is good to know I have some moral support. :jointsmile: I don't really use instant messaging, but do you use that as an email address too?


I took a few pictures yesterday right before the lights came on. I'll post them in a short while, once I wake up a bit more.

Here is that photo from yesterday, 20 days into flower.

WoW! :thumbsup:

Get some Bushmaster next time and you will be able to pop them into flowing faster, and you can control their height with it as foliar spray. works wonders in cab grows. looks great though!

Day 27 of flower

[attachment=o208688]


They have stopped stretching so rapidly. This has me completely in awe of genetics now because Puffzter and I both noticed the stretch stop at almost the exact same point in time. May I just say "phew" too. I wonder if the Dutch Passion White Widows are more Sativa heavy because they do seem rather unwieldy and hell bent on being tall. :rastasmoke: "Snowball", the tall one at the back, is 140cm / 55". Pretty good for "the family pet" and the last seed to germinate.


Got hairs?

Miss Maggie

[attachment=o208689] [attachment=o208690]

That looks amazing Jane... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL!

Nice job, Jane...I often bend my top(s) of my plants and fasten them to the main stem with a pipe cleaner...making the plant think its reached its peak...My cabs height isnt that tall...4'.5"..or so...just a thought for the next time maybe...this is Hawaiian Snow...she loves to grow tall...Not the best example, but I'm sure you'll understand the concept..

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

Back after a week of gaming, partying and even a spliff or ten.
:)

Nice to see it slowed down now, there will be a slight stretch more but not much and after that it stops dead. If you can take another 4 inches or so you should be fine now. Normally it wont grow more than that until harvest now.

Puffzter

That is fab news and I can handle that much. Go on girls, fatten up! :rastasmoke:

About a month into flower, so roughly halfway there.

[attachment=o209298]

A lot can happen in 5 days. This is Maggie, that same plant you can see from the last photos I posted. In the above photo she is front center, for reference.

[attachment=o209299]

Snowball, the tall one with a multitude of colas, but two main ones. I never touched her, she did this on her own. I know we shouldn't pick favourites but...

[attachment=o209300]

This is fun.

PlainJane,
Lookin good...yes it I agree it doesnt take long for a change to be noticed...Sure is frosty....Again nice work..

Peace,
Treetops :rastasmoke:

wow wow wow. looken verry nice there. yummy yummy.

:jawdropper::jawdropper::jawdropper:

Wow Jane!
Great work!:thumbsup:
I am also working with femd WW, mine are nirvana's.

Wanda is about 2-3 wks ahead of yours. The crystals only get better!;)
Vanessa is about the same age as yours but developing less full, and recently had a growth burst.

as far as your plant height issues, try a lil LST.:D

I'll be watching to compare our results:thumbsup:

cool cabinet where did you order your seeds from i ordered some from cannabisseeds.com and think i have been ripped off can you give me a trusting site and they were white widow feminized also please get in touch with me on this matter asap so i can be sitting like you send me an e mail
:rastasmoke:

Jane,

You certainly have a cabinet full of awesomeness. You go girl! :jumphappy:

I'm sure you would get better seed bank recommendations from others on this site who are in the US, which I am not. Sorry to hear you got burned.






Here are a couple photos of "Marge", taken a few minutes ago. I liked how these turned out.

Very nice!

With that dark red drape behind her, she looks like she's on stage at the theater. Expecting her to starting singing and tap dancing at any moment. :dance: :dance: :dance: Unless, maybe she's a pole dancer?

C'mon, you know you all saw it too ...

agreed x2 :D

How dare you say such things about my little girls! :rastasmoke:

Was that about poledancing? o_O

Jane that is not a bad remark. On the contrary.

I'd say that is the absolute last stage of being before true nirvana is reached on the reinkarnation ladder. Ask any guy around you. ;)

And as we all know, if a man say something it has to be true.

How is it going how is it going?

MEasurments and pics now! :hippy:
They stopped stretching completelly by now, right?
How are the buds developing?

Puff

This is day 53 of 12/12. They are coming along brilliantly. :thumbsup: The stronger growers are showing signs of feeling sorry for themselves but it is too late to be treating deficiencies being roughly within 2 weeks of chop. Some of the sad leaves could also be light stress because the problems appear much worse on the bits of the plants nearest the bulb. I bought a massive dehumidifier and it took it from an average of 65-70% RH to 40-50%. That humidity change seems to have made them seem less tolerant of the light and heat. I am thinking a touch of light and heat stress is better than a risk of mould. This house is prone to the evils of damp and sod getting that into my grow!

The tallest in the back left ("Snowball") is 143cm/56" and the shortest is 107cm/42". I imagine their stretch should be finished. I am now decreasing their nutes starting at the next water in a day or two. I thought I would flush and use only water for their last two waterings. I water every 3-4 days and will let them dry out some before the chop. That should give them 10-12 days with no nutes. I only used organic nutes and never went overboard with them. I hope this is enough of a flush while also not completely starving them. Any words of wisdom there would be appreciated.

I don't see any amber trichs yet but if my eyes and my 30x loupe do not deceive me, I do have about 50-60% milky. I hope they get a bloody move on. Half the pistols are browned and things are looking sticky.

Beautiful work PlainJane...Won't be long now...I always liked WW,not only for the great stone and medical grade uses,but I also really like the delicious aftertaste that WW leaves with ya...:thumbsup::thumbsup:

The flush schedule sounds good to me....:thumbsup:

Chop? in two weeks?...Something to consider: Harvest one plant 'early'..harvest another "prime time"...harvest another 'late".

It gives you, personal information; for your next grow...:stoned:

A splendid idea. I was already thinking of chopping that little abused "twin" at the back sooner than the rest for "research", and of course because I am getting impatient. :rasta: It was always a bonus plant and I'm pleased with how well it has grown even with my treating it carelessly.

I gave it a minuscule amount of nutes a couple days ago in preparation for this purpose. Next time, just water, wait, flush, wait, then :chainsaw:

Your closer to them, than I am...:)...the Dutch don't lie!...God Save the Queen.

Oh oh.
Nice Jane, the look very healthy and lush. :D
Don't worry about yellowing leaves and stuff like that now it is natrual.
The last stage of it's life the plants use leaves to get some extra oompf into the flowers and that's why they look sick. I took 5-10 leaves off my plants a day the last two weeks or so.

My crop is VERY soft on your throat and very well tasting to smoke pure and I nuked them full out until 4-5 days before cut. The last 72hours I kept them in darkness to break down as much chlorofyll as possible as well. Weed is knockout taste, potency (OMG!!) and buds are absolutelly glistering. After a couple of weeks of curing many buds actually became more white than green.

All very good to hear. :jointsmile:

I know you chopped somewhere around day 63, did you see any amber trichs at that time? I am not sure if I should really care that much about the highly regarded milestone of the mighty amber trichome. I am hoping not so much because I would like to get them ALL chopped before the new year.

Well since I wanted a crop that was not too much body I chopped at Around 50-40-10 (clear-milky-ambre).

The next one I will keep about the same I think because I really enjoy the high from these plants, better than anything I ever smoked before at least. Got friends that wanna pay double market value for it even hehe. Poor them, hehe. But I am not cheap with it when ppl are coming over or at parties etc. Popular guy atm I am :D

If you wanna use it against insomnia it's not the best but if I have a hard time sleeping I just take a few hits 1h before I wanna sleep and then stop.

Munchies is insane though.
Worst ever. I can keep a gun against your head and tell you I will blow it off if you eat something and I can assure you:
You will loose your head. ;)

what kind of high to you get from white widow, what kind of illness does it work for?
