White Widow (fem), White Diesel, Sweet Purple (lots of pics)

Cool, I'll be interested to see how your White Diesels turn out. I was disapointed with my first grow of them, which happened to be my second attempt as well. I think it really was the nutes that ruined me. Plus I let the PH slip a bit. I got kinda lazy.

Third times a charm. Im taking all the right steps in this grow.

Plants have gained a bit of height while I was gone out of town. The White Diesel is looking crazy. I don't know what the hell is wrong with it. The last White Diesels I grew came out crappy, but not like this one. I don't know if I should leave it or take it out.

I decided to flush them today just to keep the salts from building up. I also increased the ec of my res to 1.5 mS. PH 5.9.

The two Sweet Purples may be females, but its still too early to be certain. This would be great since the rest of the plants are feminised. The one I have second thoughts about is the one with the purple stems. The other Sweet Purple has a tiny white hair, that I dont think will show up on camera.

how do drizzle...good trip?
i know what u mean bout white diesel..1 of mine is growing like a spaz!!! dunno what's up with it. but tis a lady so am just going tolet her do her thing...see how she ends up. check my journal if u want2 see the pix of her!! she is deffo spazzy!!!
others looking sweet tho bro!

Thanks Dixie, trip was great.

About the White Diesel, here are some of the pics of my last crop of them. They grew so many leaves, but hardly any calyxes. And the calyxes that did form were very small, and grew stacked in these long rope-like columns.

Day 30: I decided to top the Sweet Purples tonight. Also last nite I added the rockwool slabs and separated the closet into 2 sections which I intend to use for veg / bloom.

Here are some pics of the recent modifications I made to the closet.

Is it water and yeast in the soda bottles? looks real healthy.

Yep. Water, and about 1.5 tsp sugar, .75 tsp bakers yeast. Theres a ton of bottles in there. I keep them replenished every few days or so. Sometimes they just need a little more sugar. If not I try yeast. Then I dump them the next time they stop bubbling.

Time lapse is really cool. Nice work!

alritey Driz...like the time lapse...u big smart ass lol
seen many ppl using the C02 bottle thing....haven't done it myself but was just wondering....do u continue to use it thru flowering aswell? or just veg.

just scribed in looks great . Cept that retard one, did u trying taking it out ncleaning its area? LOL cause wow lol but otherwise GREAT job, u going to 12/12?

Yea, its not the environment thats causing the White Diesel to grow so retarded, its just genetics. NGT called it f.a.b. Fucked at birth. When it first sprouted, the first leaves on it were the size of a grain of sand. Its grown all stunted like that since then.

I just don't have the heart to kill it. Besides, maybe it will get me retardedly high, being such a retarded plant.

1 of my WDs is growing in a real spazzy way too and i had the same thought..leave it...may make me spazzy when smoked! lol

Day 32: Another pic update. Slight leaf issues showing on some of the lower leaves of the White Widows. Nothing bad yet, most leaves are completely green. I may flush them tonight or in the morning if I notice things getting worse. Still at 1.5ec right now.

I've started tucking fan leaves to let the side colas get light. This has proven to work quite well, since I can see them gaining in height.

The leaf issues have gotten much better now. I increases the ec to 1.8 (full strength), and it's made everything much greener and healthier. I also added a kelp based product for a little more K (1-1-1.5). I think that has helped the widow on the left with it's droopy leaf issue. They seem to be regaining vigor.

Day 35: I took some clones today. 4 White Widow, and 2 Sweet Purple. They're sitting with a florescent grow light, in my extra grow cab. I hope I did everything right.

The one on the buttom left looks great. The others could use some trimming. Cut half way down all the big fan leaves, n if there is another branch below the nodes that are already growing (hence where the new growth will start to go) then slice the lower branch off . Or trim it up . getting rid of all that extra makes it worry about rooting more instead of taking care of leaves n branches it wont need n that will just be the buttom of the plant ;P . GOOD job tho . Looking good, i cant help by think the leaves on ur plants are alil droopy? You checked into that?

Yea, the droopy leaf issue has gotten better. I think it was a lack of potassium since the seaweed blast seemed to work, but i'm not sure.
