Scrogdawg's White Widow Fem Grow

[Scrogdawg]

Your white widows are looking good brother....who are they from? Mine is Ministries of Cannabis.

Mine are from MJ Seeds out of Vancouver. I bought a 10 pack and this is the second round of 4 plants. Very potent stuff and takes a lot of abuse while growing.

Popping in bro

How is the garden coming scrogdawg? Bud porn?

 

[Scrogdawg]

I had 2 White Widow, 1 Critical Kush and 1 Purple Kush into flower for about 20 days. Didn't like how sparse and far apart the buds were so I chopped them all and threw them out a couple weeks ago. This picture was just before I cut them down.

Hope you don't mind if I show up fashionably late and sit up front! I'll be doing another white widow this summer after my auto grow... Love the high I get from it... your girls sure look happy and healthy!!

 

[Rider509]

Yep. One inch tall and super happy and healthy. Buds a poppin'! LMAO.

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

Nice. WW looks pretty healthy bud. Strong like bull.

Edit: That bubble though!

What started out as 8 grams is now 7 grams. Lost a little ice water to drying I suppose. It darkened up some with drying but hasn't changed now for a couple of days. Its coming along nicely, still sweating a little on the bottom side each day, so I flip it over once a day to continue drying. I have lots of bud, wax and other bubble hash on hand, so I've been able to resist testing till its finished drying.

So what's the trick to removing them from soil and getting them into Hydroton Scrog?

 

[Scrogdawg]

No real trick Guy. I let the soil dry out real good then remove the pot and work the dry soil off the roots with my hand. Once they're fairly clean of soil I hold them in a netpot that has about an inch of hydroton on the bottom and start to fill the rest of the netpot with hydroton.

 

[Rider509]

I tried washing the roots in a bucket of water. That made things way more difficult because then the roots were a hanging soggy mass. Next time I might try putting the net pot in water so the roots could be floated out over the first layer of hydroton and then more hydroton added. Just have to soak the hydroton because they like to float.

 

[OntarioGro17]

I start them in the net pots in 2 gallon buckets til they drink that then switch to 5 gal. I’m scared of anything to do with transplanting lol.

 

[JustMeds]

A high RH environment during the transition will help any plant. That is why you want the net pot close to the water level with the popping bubbles on the surface, keeps things moist. Then lower level as the roots stretch.

I looked in the past for an answer as to what will kill a root tip. Was it air or sunlight? I think its combination of the 2.

Its not the length of the root its the size of the tip.

 

[Guy Cavallero]

Oh boy, @JustMeds I'm shocked that that has been left alone this long LMAO. I only ever introduced clones from my cloner into soil, I never gone the other way. I've got some clones in my cloner that I'm going to introduce into my new dwc bucket today (yes I know you guys would be proud LMAO), but just wondering for the future if I have a real kick ass plant that's already established in soil, could it be done? Obviously the answer is yes.

So you guys know, I'm not too proud to admit that my dwc girl, it was three times the size of my soil girl in weight. That's the white Cookies strain from crop King seeds. I'll wait on a final dry weight for sure though. Thanks both @Scrogdawg and @Rider509 for the "push"!

 

[JustMeds]

Hydro will always beat out soil in quantity. Ya, they must still be looking for their Easter basket's.

 

[Scrogdawg]

The wife says no sugar for ole dad. She did offer to hide my diabetes pills so I could hunt for them, but I saw right through that. By design I'm afraid she'd hide them just a little to good.

Not much to show off yet, but heres the 4 White Widows, 9 days after breaking out of the soil.

Awwww.....an easter family photo, how cute! LOL

Babies are looking like they are off to a good start. How long are you going to keep them in the soil before moving to the buckets?

 

[Scrogdawg]

I'll probably leave them in soil till after the first topping above the 3rd node. A couple weeks..ish I suppose.

No real trick Guy. I let the soil dry out real good then remove the pot and work the dry soil off the roots with my hand. Once they're fairly clean of soil I hold them in a netpot that has about an inch of hydroton on the bottom and start to fill the rest of the netpot with hydroton.

Hey scrogdawg you got any experience with coco bud? Have a question for you ?

 

[Scrogdawg]

Sorry Joe, don’t even know how to spell koko.

 

[Rider509]

I know a thing or two about coco puffs. My mom had this gassy poodle named Coco. She said Coco was too much of a lady to fart... she puffed.
