Bear and the story of the White Widow

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

Better luck with the pics??

great pix, love your caves;) and wow, you realy have it going on... i hope you have room for a few more, cuz like it or not, they'll soon be on their way:)

love, kp:p

ps, things are looking up on this side, getting two solarmax gold bulbs for the mh ballasts, and may be getting a donated hps, we'll see... seed room is now chock full of nuts.... so a month or so from now, it'll be like a seed bank over here.

Thanks for stopping in, and the more beans the marrier. Glad to hear about the lights, sometimes things seem to happen so others can show how big their heart is to their selfe and to those in need.
Well Bear hugs from Blue Adieu

thats the truth my darling bear, and it seems it goes full circle... i created kp's cannabis college in basic growing (you'd like that one) and am getting beans to bagger's like me; full circle:)

love you bear, be back in a while

love, kp:p

I have been by the college, and left you a thumbs up on your reputation for starting it. Good job and keep it up.
Adieu

:D

love, kp:p

where did the bear go?

Hey Little lady, I'm around the forest of green. I have this fasanation with coco coir lately so I have been researching it as much as possible. I have about 4 DWC projects right now and about 30 other things in dirt on different schedules in defferent stages, repotting, different feeding scheds and so on so I have been doing more mental file keeping than posting, but not to worry, I am all right.
Tell KP I said hey and give her some Bear love for me, LOL
Adieu

OH yeh, I will update this tomorrow, I didn't think that folks wanted seedling/veg pics every day, so I give it a couple/few days to up date. Maybe I'll think of something else to post tonight, maby I'll up date the Widow/Anny story thread, she is trying to do something for me.
Adieu

can't wait for the update;)

love, kp:p

Also look foward to an update from the one and only Bear. Is White Widow hard to grow? Was considering doing some next time around. As you know from my thread I am a complete and utter newbie. :D

Hey KP and Razz. Thanks for stopping, KP will have something up for you Sunday. Razz, this is my first run with WW believe it or not. From what I can tell, it's going to get smelly which is a typicle trait and she seems to be a fairly moderate eater at this point which fitts her description as well.
I will probably take a clone from her in a few days and think about putting her in flower in a bubble bucket if she has any roots comming threw this 4x4 RW block, or else I will just put her into flower and hand water until she is ready for the DWC bucket.
Adieu

hey bear, i just made this amazing, super ghettofied dwc cloner (5g bucket, pump, airlines that i spent two hours punching holes in with a needle, an old window screen, duct tape, and driveway gravel) and i'm goofy as hell just thinking about it. you'd be proud;)

love, kp:p

Sounds like we found Mrs. MacGyver. ;)

Oh, and blue, it goes without saying your plants are looking great. You definitely know your shit man, I've been loving everything you've been posting. I just haven't had much to say other than wow :D

KP, your going to be the next Stinky around here, just keep it up. Splifted, thanks for stopping in, will have pics tonight of the Children of the Attic before they go into new pots.
Adieu

OK, here is little orphan Anny, unless I mixed the pictures up. She is doing ok, seems to be going a little slow IMO, don't know if it is the RW medium, I wouldn't have started her in it, but that's the breaks. Will try to take a clone in a day or two from the top branch with about 3 inches of nothing in between the top flower and the next branch and then I will just top that branch because I ain't trying to have some branch with six inches of nothing once she go's into flower.
Next is some flicks of half of the flower room, you can only see one light in these pics, didn't have the other one going then because I didn't have enough plants going to need it. These girls are clones and were veged for 2 1/2 weeks and this is at 3 1/2 weeks flower, and they are still going right now. As of now that room has about twice as many plants, both lights and about 10 more girls going in with in the next 10 days or so.
Well, hope you enjoy.
Adieu

wow......

~flabergasted~

love, kp:p

i hope you don't mind bear, but i wanted to show you my ghettofied clone bucket.... ms. mcguiver? certainly, look at the bloombox... the next stinky? hmmm, that's one to aspire to... if i could be half as good as the attic scientist, i'd buy a track of land in holland and open a seed bank;) as it is, i'm just an obsessed individual who just happened to read alot of stuff, and came across some realy bright, knowledgeable, and helpful peeps who in turn helped me get in the right direction. knights, you know who you are...:)

so without further ado..... kp's super gettofried, 5g clone bucket...(hey, i had to do something... with these bb's i'm getting less than 20% strike rate:()
splifted, i'd like to talk atcha sometime, your peppers amaze and tantalize me... maybe bear or stinky could forward my email to you...

love ya beary! you too splft:)

kp:p

ps, the pump on the bucket generates enough heat to keep water temps at 77f-78f...;) cfl is 22" up, 2 23w...
