today the dust got blown off a 10 gallon rubbermaid diy bubble ponics setup. 8 gallons of water got 1 tsp of super thrive and 1 tsp of grow big, then ph'd to 5.8. lets see if i can get better growth rate out of my clones. i took 2 of them to expirement with, the root system was nice and white on both of them but i didn't see the amount of roots you would expect to see in plants this age. pics to come soon.

Just read your thread Kevin.
Everything looks great.

For a little better success on your clones , I use sandwich bags as humidity domes. mist with water every two days and you should have rooted plants in 2-3 weeks.

Good luck on that Widow It can be a little finicky

They love magnesium so if you start seeing the spots and leaves starting to curling on you, keep some Epsom salt handy

Here is some pics of some White Widow
I don't let them go as long as you but they do me justice.

And some Cured White Widow

Mine were curling up.
But they yellowed and died off.
The first signs were slight yellowing and spotting.
Calmag will cure and prevent that.
Whats great about Calmag is the low PPM.
One tbsl of epsom salt can add amost 1000 ppm
So use caution. I feed normal and add my magnesium with the regular waterings without food. as not to overdose them.

They look a little hungry.
The one in the back is Mag Def.
Thats why its all crusty
a little late in the game, but some cal mag will stop it from continuing.

what you are looking at joe is bug damage, they were getting a mag supplement. it does look like mag deficiency, but ended up being little white bugs on the underneath of the fan leaves. or it might of been both, because when i first started seeing the problem i gave them the mag and i found the bugs a few days later.

The bugs might have been attracted by the dying leaf tissue, was probably a feast for them.

Yup
Just like I stated earlier.
1tbls to gallon with your waterings not feedings.
Just make sure you are feeding them good
One thing I noticed is widow loves food amd Mag
dont be shy feeding them.
You are at the point where those will all become necrotic.
Just try to manage the damage and keep them rolling till the end.
I'll post some pics of how fucked mine looked and I manage to save them with magnesium.

I don't have any experience Epsom salt, but it sounds like a good ratio from what I have read. How often do they get that, I've seen most people recommend it once a month?

Widow is a little tuff to Grow but the rewards are worth it.
