First Grow: White Widow Autoflower

[Costanza]

Had to add a dehumidifier in my little 2x2 tent. Couldn't keep humidity under 65% the past week here in the rainforest. Buds are really frosting up on the widow on the left.

Hello @Costanza garden looks good.
The Girl in second pic looks hungry though.
Could be lighting in the pic though.
Do they seem to be eating properly? Or is it a bad color in pic?

It's the lighting she was just fed.

I was having issues with that one before and it was a pale yellow color. I wasnt sure if I wanted to give more nitrogen via veg fertilizer or just add a little compost as a top feed due to not wanting tip burn. Ended up getting the burn anyway haha. Overall it all comes down to being stubborn and not listening to advice. Next grow is already 10 days underway already and it's being started in different medium than these 2. Not a fan of the coco loco medium and I think my ph was too low on this entire grow. Well I guess at least I learned a lot

 

[Bill284]

I use straight coco ph 5.8 exactly.
I wouldn't feed nitrogen now though.
Flowering nutrients right till the end.
She will be ok.

Week 10 almost finished. Harvest date tentatively set for july 14th. Added some calmag since I started noticing some brown spots on leaves on the taller widow and tbe shorter one has been having issues so it cant hurt.

Decided to take a little popcorn bud off the bottom and stick it under the loupe for inspection. I think my timeline is correct and this lady should be ready around july 14th. Sorry for the lack of a magnified pic, my hands are shaky enough I have a hard enough time keeping my hands still long enough to see if the trichome is cloudy. This is the best I could do

I think by lollipoping you are reducing your yield a lot.

Especially so far from harvest.

Honestly I am not sure what to expect. This is only technically my first grow just staggered a month after the first plant. Won't the lower buds just amount to popcorn and not be worth it? My intentions were for the plant to focus more on adding buds to the top. Its tough to know what to follow because there is so much misinformation out there on the web and I read to lollipop the autos to increase the harvest. Am I doing something wrong or did I do it at the wrong time?

Yeah it was my first attempt at growing and I made many mistakes. Only grew 9 inches tall and yield was 18.5 g

My 4 are 1st plants I’ve grown ever. I’m kinda stunned that it seems to be working. Lots of nice help here for sure.

Fantastic info TY for the post

 

[Costanza]

I read that and its interesting and its also confusing because everyone says to do something different. Cervantes says to not defoliate but Kyle Kushman swears by it. I'm just going to experiment and see what works for me, but I do appreciate the feedback.

Widow 2 has been chopped at day 93. Trimmed a little and washed and hung to dry then going into a 6 tiered drying rack in my guest room where I've been keeping it at 60f and 60 rh.

I gotta say there's just no feeling like harvesting your own medicine. Especially after paying 500 a month on poorly grown schwag in a medical program that isn't properly cured and overpriced like crazy

I'm so happy for you my friend.
Good days ahead.
