Week 11 day 77

Chopping on Sunday or Monday. She has thickened a little but going to be thin buds and low weight. Not sure of the smoke but disappointed the the grow over all, maybe my fault but should not of been this hard.
Anyway, here is a pic of BW5, having the room in the cabinet since BW1 is in the closet drying, I have bent and twisted her to get the best light she can for these last few days.



Here are a couple of pics of some of the other ladies.
The group of clones that is in the closet waiting to get into the cabinet.


Some clones I cut day before yesterday for a friend. Rooting them in straight coco.


They were taken from the mothers before I began to Bonsai them. I now have the mothers in 3 inch plastic nursery pots, straight coco. I will begin shaping the Bonsai's after they have recovered from the massive chop I gave them.

Before, this pic was taken on 4/2, did not get a pic before I did the deed.;


After, taken on 4/22

Final weight 6.2 zips buds, 1.15 zips larf. Really did not have that much trim but the strain was so thin and airy that I put a lot of BW5 in the Larf jar. Going to make some cannabutter tomorrow.
8 tops from the BW1 Mainline


Individual pics of BW1


Entire group of BW1 and BW5


I did not take a pic of the Tops from BW5, just too busy in my shop to take the time. Maybe later. I was surprised the BW5 actually out weighted BW1 by about a .25 zips, it was the more airy of the two plants.

Well hopefully this will get me by and with the clones flowering now I hope to get by till the fall grow. Think I am going to compost BW5 clones, over 6 weeks flower and hardly any bud formation.

I found from the last grow of the mothers of these two phenos and from an email I received from MNS about this strain that I needed way more time. On the website they say they are 10 weeks (70 day) plants. After I harvested one at 74 days, did so to harvest on 4/20, and the second at around 80 days. I realize that that is not near enough time. I should have left them both for another 14 to 21 days. The first one harvested (3 zips) was fairly tight buds 12 to 16 inches long, but the fragrance and potency was not there and could have had tighter buds. The second one (3.25 zips) had very thin buds, very long and thin. The thing looked gooey and slick and I thought it was going to be the one. Just does not have it!
When I emailed MNS with pictures and comments I got a response from a rep saying that his favorite BW that he grew took 13 weeks to get tight budded and fragrant. But if I find that one out of all my seeds then I will never want to let the mother die.
I like that! bongsmilie

Both highs are good, hard to tell them apart, one has better fragrance, but not the meds I was expecting.

Ok I am @ 8 weeks of 12/12 with the two phenos of the Mr Nice Seeds Black Widow.
I have 4 plants of pheno 1 under my 400W HPS. I plan on harvesting these starting @ 10 + weeks the one plant at 11 +, one at 12 and one at 13 +. This will all be amber dependent, will not let them go over 25% amber.








Only going to show one pic of BW5, they all look the same, very very tall and thin.
It may be a problem with the LED I am going this group with, but I have grown some wonderful medicine with this light. I have contacted the company and waiting to see what they say about it.
Again this is 8 weeks into 12/12, this in not in the cabinet but in a closet that I cover the door to insure no light stray light leaks at night. This mother did the same thing in the cabinet grow, it was a lot fuller at this stage but she began to stretch again late in flower. It may end up on the compost pile, but I was impressed with the amount of gooey trichs on its mother, going to go ahead and grow it out for ever how long it takes. Going to give it 10% amber for the first plant to harvest then harvest one the next week and the last one the following week. Again, percentage of amber dependent.



Later,

Hotest part of the day maybe 83. About 78 on average. I keep seeing guys say they only get their light 6in or more away. I've had these guys almost touching the light with minimal burn if any. Just curious.? Also did my best at a little lst today

D an Em,

Have never seen such a white HPS light, what type of HPS are you running? May be something I have not heard of.
Also, what is you nute program, what is your medium and what is your goal pH? I would not run your light that close, maybe just me, but I think that is a little too close, I would not go below 8". Not saying you can't, I just wouldn't.

See, I'm horrible. I didn't mention I was running the mh the first 2 weeks... Trying to reduce stretch as much as possible. Soil is roots organic,and happy frog. Haven't had to feed much at all, but I'm using the go line from gh. And haven't really checked runoff. But average ph going in is about 6.5. Thanks for the replies

Ok, had not heard of that method to reduce stretch, how is it working for you?
Good soil mix, I wouldn't worry too much about checking runoff just make sure the pH you have going in is around 6.0 or a bit lower, and flush a few time during the grow.

Hi fellow 400 watters,
Will be starting another run in the cabinet in a few weeks. :weed: About 7 sqft X 6' tall!
Be using one of my two White Rhino fem's and I would like to put in one or two more. In stock I have some freebies I got from my last order from Seedsman.
One fem of each, Exodus Cheese, Dr. Seedsman, and Citrus Super Haze. I also have 5 regs of NLHaze/Skunk #1 from Mr. Nice Seeds which will be another run, maybe spring.
Going to Mainline/Hub all plants to 8, and am wanting to get all the general same height. Have been doing some research but they only say, short, medium or tall height, hell, medium could be anywhere from 30 to 45 inches.

Any Suggestions!!!

Will be growing in Hempy buckets using Botanicare CocoGro coco fiber and Growstone @ a 70/30 to 75/25 ratio. Going to start the seeds directly in 3 to 4 gallon square plastic tubs.
If my business slows, which I expect due to winter, I would like to journal this grow. We will see!

Look forward to another grow, helps me calm my nerves.
