Well this is my second grow on here. Last one I had to stop because of circumstances. But I'll be scroggin this one. Room is together and I have my Co2 monitor, environmental controller and I'll get my Co2 tank in a little while. Right now shes' under a T5 HO light. When she gets bigger I have a 400 watt setup and a 600 watt as well(lights are well covered). Running A.N. nutes and I'm using distilled water. Wish me luck.

15 days old today. She's lookin pretty squat like she'll be short and strong. My light is probably about 5 inches away cause I'm running the T5 system right now trying to eliminate the stretching effect and keep it cool. When the time is right I'll start scroggin her. My screen is 3x3 so we'll she what she produces. Would've been up and running a long time ago but I had problems germinating my seeds. Probably because they were old and I didn't store them properly, never again will that happen.

Trying out this LED light for a bit. If things start to go south it's back to the tried and true. It's only 28 watts but it's blindingly bright.

This is day 31. I gave her a 5 day flush of nothing but straight water. Running my nutes at 45% strength and she likes it.
That was smart to flush but no so with 5 days of no nutes. I was going to chime in to tell you WW's are light feeders. I noticed if you back off the nutes by 15% compared to others, you won't get tip burn. Also, when you flush, you only need to do it once when using a flusher like GH Florakleen or Botanicare clearex. These products will neutralize the ionic bonds of the salts with the hydroton. Crazy science shit but it works. No need for 5 days of no nutes.

I was out of town for a funeral so that's why the flush lasted so long if I would have been here I would have only ran it for 2 days. But the reason for the flush was I noticed a lot of salt build up on the hydroton so that was the reason for the flush.

Thanks for the info all insight is appreciated here. I figured out that the Widows prefer lighter nutes and it seems like the A.N. line is on the strong side. Right now all I'm running is Sensi Grow A&B, B-52 and Roots Bloom by Advanced Floriculture. The Roots Bloom is good stuff, my roots are through the bottom of the growing chamber and that's a 3 gallon chamber. All seems well for now.

Nice buds Crazed1011, I am very interested in strain linage and history. One thing I must ask is where did this WW pheno originate from? The reason I ask is because I grew WW for years and I have noticed the old WW looked much different than it does today, at least some of them. It seems everything has some Kush in it, and by the shape and density of your buds I would say it also has Kush in it. I have a Bubba Kush and a Purple Kush cuts and I see a very strong resemblance to them. Either way, your buds look fantastic. I am sure she is dank as all hell. What does her terpene profile smell like?

Mike, I'll be watching to see the final 'dank' outcome. I am sure this will be an interesting grow and can't wait to see your buds. I also wanted to ask, were you a member on Overgrow years ago, I seem to remember you, although I could be wrong. Just curious.

Never been on Overgrow. My paranoia level just dropped enough for me to post on here whatever my join date is. And the WW has always been the most talked about bud I've ever had everyone loves it.

Broke the main part of the stem towards the top 2 days ago. I taped it up and sprayed it and she seems to be on the mend right now.
