Yep, the bed looks underfed by comparison.

At least there’s a totally logical explanation

Oh I don't know...if you leveled the soil height it looks to be about the same height as the Candida, but denser. That's down to chemovar and training I'd say.

Hmmm - well the difference in soil height is only a few inches. so yess, teh candida ad WW are similar height, but WW was topped twice and Candida never was.
The stems tell it too actually. I’ll try to remember to post comparison pics in teh post CATs update. The WW stem base is much much fatter than the 2 in the rased bed.
It makes sense, since i starved them during a growth spurt. It also means I can’t really get a ‘read’ on the soil which is a minor bummer. No biggie - all the buds are looking just great!
Critical Mass has been smelling like lemon passion fruit, and WW is all pine mango gassy...

Awww Amy!!
I wish I really was there, I bet your Eden is such a peaceful, beautiful place. I love it when the clouds look like that. I’ve only seen it 2 or 3 times, but it was right out my back door.
So glad to hear you got WW under cover too. What a relief! What will you do with that bit you cut away? Maybe you said and I missed it?

I didn’t say. I shoved it into freezer bags and into the freezer with the rest of the botrytis buds from last season. One day, when demand demands, I will execute the ‘steaming off the botrytis’ technique as pioneered here by our good buddy InTheShed. He links to it here...
Nice update AG and glad to hear all your plants are dry.
I’m with Shed on this, could it just be genetics? To my eyes, the plants don’t look underfed. Sure they’re lighter than white widow but the fact that they’re all flowering hard right now and the leaves only have a few burns. Likely from foliars, if I remember correctly.
Is that lightness to the leaves enough to really hold it back from getting massive?

So hey - I’m having a great time doing the Green-Flower Media Fundamentals course. It’s a precursor to their other ones. Next I plan to take the Patient Care course.
Each module in the course has a knowledge check section so you can gauge your progress and check yourself before doing the final exam. Heaps of the material I have already covered during my time here on 420 and the resources that has led me too so my method is always to do the knowledge check first and see where the gaps are - just out of curiosity. For the module on cannabinoids, I’m getting 100% every time i do it and i havent even looked at the material yet!
I’m still going to though, for 2 reasons: there’s bound to be gems of wisdom in there that isn’t necessarily part of the exam so i don’t want to miss that, plus; it 4 videos featuring Samantha Miller and I’m a big fan of hers so there’s that. Makes it more likely there will be gems of wisdom in there - she is full of them 
Anywaaaay... that was longer than planned. Rambling - need weed
I wanted to share this - a refining of my knowledge about pistils. A pistil is actually the whole unit made-up by an ovule and 2 stigmas, and these are enclosed inside the bract. So what we see - the lovely white hairs - are only part of a pistil, they are the stigmas. Here’s a drawing I did in my notebook while listening to the lecture. I don’t really draw... so keep that in mind
canna details! (Oops! I misspelled corolla 
)
I think all Gray and I are talking about is the fact that we know that they were underfed, quite significantly, during what is usually a big growth period. Also, a plant in the ground will usually get bigger than one in a pot. Sure genetics play a part, it’s just with these we know they were underfed. So yes, they look relatively healthy and are making buds but they are a little smaller than they perhaps might’ve been, and the stems are smaller too. So Gray and I were just noticing that and surmising that the period of starvation is probably the main cause. The stems on what I grew last year were definitely bigger too. It’s mostly conjecture and surmising of course - but it seems fairly logical to me. Also, you didnt really see the fade on Candida and you can’t see that Candida has nearly no main fans left and the ones that are there are half faded. It’s the size I’m connecting to the underfed period - they didn’t get to explode with growth right when they usually do.
They will ripen and finish just fine... I have no problem there

Gotcha AG
I was more curious than anything. I probably didn’t word my comment very well earlier lol- Thread starter

I was looking at it from a different point of view but underfeeding would definitely make the plant less productive in the end. If you need to keep feeding your plants the entire to
I guess I assumed that the plant was operating as intended, I didn’t realize you had to remove so many fans and stuff. It’s all good, I’ve learned something todayALso - White Widow is just a monster!
Did you mean to ask something different?

Amy if I was you I'd be excited as h for next year. As I have read brix is better after a few grows go thru it and with the knowledge you now have you're going to KILL it next growing season. But things are looking really good in the garden. Nice job.

I fully am And thanks for saying
Doc said from the get go that my soil was amendable for the kit over 2 seasons - so I already have an ammendment for next year as well. I think I can put that in anytime after this harvest and let the rains work it in - or maybe i need to wait until early spring. I’ll check. Might not make that much differncenow that I thik about it. I read something ... it’s here in my notes somewhere

Did you say you’ll have a tent going through winter time?

I have a 3x3’ in my room with 640 samsung LED diodes over 5 Quantum Boards for light - a rig I built myself over 4-5months this time last year under the guidance of the lovely @Graytail
. I mostly aim to treat it as 2.5x2.5’ of grow space and will be trying not to over pack it. I have some Ace Seeds gear to run and i’m very excited for it. Happy Sunday morning all!
Ooh nice! Time to start thinking about the tent grow? Pick any seeds yet?
