Started in pellets that I picked up from ohanas, put into solo cups with soil mix for a couple weeks. Under 24 hr t-5 lights. Started working them into the sun a little at a time. Transplanted into sunshine mix 4 with dolomite and happy frog mixed in, 5 gal pots. The day I transplanted them I left them on my lanai and my dog fucked them up. He nosed around in the soil pretty bad and killed one. I fixed the soil and put them back under the lights. They recovered by the next day. Now I put them out at 5 am and bring them in at dark, no lights. The one has always been smaller, they have always been side by side and watered exactly the same. I'm just a little confused why the one is so much smaller.
Do you guys think I should put this one under the lights at night?
Everything I have read says that blue widow is more indica, it is a hybrid of blueberry and white widow.

Big mahalo to everyone here for the advise!
Its probably a little variance in genetic expression (pheno type)...they look healthy in the picture...i had a vanilla sky pheno that was a runt...but it grew out of it...just grow'um brah!

Runt...that's what I was thinking. I wish I could keep one small like that and grow as a house plant in my living room, they are beautiful plants.

I just moved to Kauai- what I'vebeen told is you can grow year round but the season will determine the size of your harvest..... is that true?

If you grow outdoors it does. I have a plant that is only 2 feet tall, it was started and grown outside in march. It started flowering as soon as it was old enough. They don't get to veg for a long enough time to put on big weight. But the summer here is called the long season, that's when everyone grows big plants outside. I have personely only been growing for a few months, but I have a couple good freinds that have been growing for many years. And I have read a lot in this thread and learned a lot from the guys here. Hope this made since to you. Aloha.

We just don't have a very big change in daylight hours here in Hawaii compared to other parts of the world from summer to winter. Like what was said above, if you plant outdoors in the summer you can take advantage of the longer days and let your plants veg to maturity before they flower. You can always veg indoors if you have that option and toss em outside when they are ready as an easy solution.

(Advice) .... Man I'm retarded!
Excellent! I was juz gonna ask you a question (and that makes me...? ::)~ ah ha...

:hug: Aloha RIP'ahs~

I didn't want to start a thread in "Harvesting and Curing", just need a lil advice if you please.

I am @ day 49 of flowering my indica = approx. 53-56 days. Medicinal qualities are (among others) as an anagesic & for insomnia. I had planned on waiting for 20-30% amber, however, I just finished reading subcools "Amber-Alert" in which he very definately does not advise indica dominant strains (ids) to have ANY amber, whatsoever... infact for ids' he says,

" When growing Indica hybrids, unless you want to end up on the couch, it’s best to harvest when the trichome heads are fully formed but before they start to cloud over and turn amber."

Ok well... :wall: That was prolly last week. What's ur thoughts on this?
(I'm getting my wardrobe boxes ready tonight, just in case)

I know I have some clear trichomes in there somewhere but as of today they look like a full-on cloudy. Not a lil milky, but cloudy with no amber best as I can tell. I am trying not to get bummed at the thought that I waited too long (insert ridiculouly long and severe string of cus words, of ur choosing. My:cuss:words are NSFW right now).

Mahalo~

If you're looking for help with insomnia wouldn't a little extra "couch lock" be a good thing? Typically the longer you wait the more narcotic the high becomes, but I personally always wait until they are a little cloudy and with some becoming amber-ish. I've read that for analgesic properties you want to harvest earlier, so maybe in the future to get the best of both worlds take subcools advice and take em down early. Sounds like a preference problem mostly and I think you'll find your babies to smoke just fine ;)

Cloudy trichomes indicate peak thc levels. Amber indicates degrading thc levels. If about 85% of yours trichs are cloudy and you have 5 to 10% amber go ahead and harvest. Thc levels continue to fluctuate even after harvesting so if u were to wait to long u might get too much amber (degraded thc level) and would be smoking less potent weed then u should be.

From what you described, I would harvest soon. I dont think you waited too long, but personally I would harvest at the first sign of ambering. Some people on this site recommend harvesting now (when all are cloudy) but thats up to you.

Funny I just read the same thread and started kinda freaking out about mine too. But I let go until almost all cloudy with a few ambers. I cut some bout 2 weeks ago that was all cloudy and has a very up high to it. I can't smoke it late in the evening because I can't go to sleep when I'm medicated on it. I'm letting some of mine go mostly amber just for the late night use. Good luck with it either way you go.
