That would be the ph of your soil id imagine
Waters ph will rise if left, and shud do the same in the pot, so for you to have 6ph in the run off then it would point to your soil ph being very low
best to feed at 7 to hopefully raise it, you shud be between 6.5-7ph for soil growing
if you feed at 7.5 next the run off shud be 6.5
but looking at your plants i wouldnt do that
id keep doing things as your doing for now
anymore yellowing tho and id try n fix it
u will find the bottom leaves die thru out flowering usually from about week 4 from lack of light
as i said tho id defo reccommend trimming the bottom leaves, the bud they will produce will be airy n also itll take away from your main buds due to the plant using energy to grow those small buds

Thanks for the advice!
And sorry for the late reply, I was away for the weekend.
I did cut a couple branches off of the bottom though as you suggested.
And I also raised the PH of my water to about 7.3, just to see if it would make a difference at all, although it wont need it's next water for a couple more days.
Pictures & updates tomorrow, week 9!

Looking a lot better since I re-potted her. Haven't seen anymore yellowing.
Feeding full bloom nutes now.
Standing at a little over 23 inches. Quite pleased at this point (:
What do you's think? And how long would you's expect to flower? I'm thinking another 6-7 weeks?
:weed:

Thanks!
I took a few branches off the bottom, but when I topped her I also cut a couple side branches which are the bottom ones now, so I figured I'd leave them on there lol.
And yes, it's the only one. I had two but at 4 weeks I gave the other one away as an outdoor experiment, which is now probably over 4 feet tall and still growing.
I'm already quite pleased, this strain is doing great, both indoors and out.

i grew some ww more than ounce. the problem is there seems to be alot of different "knock offs" of this strein. i guess the real one is now called "black widow". mine had a few differernt phenos. they were handsome plants. easy to grow, and hardy. the downside, hardly any taste, and not that potent. so i gave up on em. but, as a newbie, they were just what i needed to start the learning curve. i only tried from the one place. so i probably havent had any real ww. maybe ill try the black widow one day. the real mckoy, i hear. you definitly need more light...

Sorry guys. Been away for a few weeks and just got back online.
I agree about there being knockoffs and yes black widow is now the original white widow. I was looking to get that instead but they were out of stock.
I've got about 500w or more on her, which I think is a good amount but you could always use more right?
She's almost 9 weeks into flower, so I just flushed yesterday with about 8-10L of water.
I now plan on leaving her for another 9-10 days or so to let her finish up and dry out.
Doesn't look like it's going to be a big yeild but on the bright side the buds are looking pretty yummy, lol.


Here's a couple photos from 7 weeks flower, I'll try and get some up in a few days at 9 weeks:

Dopey what size pot is she in?
Always flush with about 3 times the volume of your pot
so a 10litre pot use 30 litres of water
you can probaly do this about every 4-5 days in the last 2 weeks

Edit: 500w on one plant is wastage imo, 400w for 9 plants unless u got the plants trained

I would say she's in about a 6-8L pot.
I was only working with some 2L pop bottles, so I flushed with 10L and then with another 10L (After refilling them and letting them sit overnight)
Within a day or two the leaves are all yellowing and the hairs are about 90% orange and turning into the bud.
At this point I think I could take her down this week, before I could even do another flush.
And since I don't have a magnifier to check out the trichomes, what would you's say a finished bud looks like? :weed:
