First grow journal! using White Widow from AMS!!

widowman64 · Nov 6, 2007

This is a first setup growing white widow from amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com. There are two rooms, a flowering room, and a vegging room. I also have a small homemade setup for cloning. All of the plants are grown hydroponically via DWC. I started out with just four seeds. One died very shortly after it sprouted which left me with only 3.

Here is some pics of the three survivers

All of those little ones were topped twice which left me with 15 clones. I cordinated the clones to the original plants with colored stickers

vegged those suckers for 3-4 weeks until they were 12 inches and put them into flowering cycle in the same room. Turned out that only one was a girl. Removed the males and male clones. This is were a problem came up. There were 3 plants of unknown gender in the same bubbling bucket so when the two males were removed all the roots were already tangled together. There was no choice but to cut the roots off the bottom of the net pots and leave the remaining dead roots in the bubbling bucket. Luckly after researching I found a solution which was Hydroguard! started adding that and the dead roots started disappearing.

The one female "named blue" grew another 12 inches in 3 days after the flowering cycle was started. Over grew the 3x3x6 growbox so another room was constructed. The new room consisted of a 600w digital HPS light instead of the 400watt in the previous box. CO2 was also added to this room to bring it up to 1200. Both rooms were equipt with a powerful vent fan that lead into a carbon filter and maylar for reflection.

Here is the Newer and nicer room

And some pics of the crappy room that was turned into the vegging room

Because I topped the one female twice she grew manny tops and there were buds all over the place. I flowering room is bigger than a square meter and AMS states that this strain produces about 450g-650g per m^2. What do you all think about that? could that be acheived with this one plant that is over a square meter?

She is so beautiful (3rd week flowering)

problems with the leaves discoloring. Stems were turning purple on a few and some browning and also wierd mysterious yellow spots. Any doctor out there that can diagnose this?

widowman64 · Nov 6, 2007

The clones that were taken from 'Blue' were placed in the vegg room in their own buckets. Though it would be nice to be able to individually raise them up to the height they needed to be to acheive 19 inches away from the 400w MH. They were also topped for more clones and to keep them short while their mom was taking up all the space in the flowering room. Kinda stuck though! Dont really know what i'm gonna do when they over grow the vegg room. By that time there mom will still be flowering. any solutions to keep them short? Can I just trim them until i have space in the flowering room or should I root the tops that were cut off and kill the current vegging ones and replace them with the fresh clones?

Also some wierd things going on with those three vegging. leaves are twisting purple stems on most and there gettin burned or sumthing in very rare places. Any cures?

widowman64 · Nov 6, 2007

Nice homemade cloning box has had 100% success so far. very cheap construction.

closet.cult · Nov 6, 2007

looking good. i would consult the plant problems page in the growFAQS for the leaf issues. good luck!

Mother white widow gets nicer as every day passes

Week four flowering still waiting for that burst of crystals

widowman64 · Nov 6, 2007

Continuing to have problems with the leaves. Dont know what is going on here. CAN ANYBODY HELP?

widowman64 · Nov 7, 2007

looked at the grow faq! could it be radiant heat? still unsure what it is.

GoodFriend · Nov 7, 2007

looks possibly like ph fluctuation... what kinda water you using? ph-ing it?

widowman64 · Nov 7, 2007

not using a digi ph but its always a lil under 6.5. was using distilled but found myself making to many trips for water. now i just have one of those filters that attaches to a kitchen sink. come out around 130 ppm.

I have the same thing happening to my widows.

widowman64 · Nov 7, 2007

It didn't really start until I moved them in the new room and started flowering.

widowman64 · Nov 7, 2007

didn't really give them much transition in nutes from vegging schedule to flowering. It was 3-2-1 (gro-micro-bloom) one day and 1-2-3 the next.

widowman64 · Nov 7, 2007

Wondering if it is because I left all the dead roots of the males in the same bucket. When I removed the males the roots were tangled so I cut them off the male and just left whatever was left in the bucket.

widowman64 · Nov 11, 2007

I bought the beans from amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com but I dont think that they are the breeder I think they are just a reseller. Can anyone guess as to who breeded these? (greenhouse,nirvana,etc...)

Middle of week 5 flowering
