Hey all
This is my third go on the White Widow. The first go was last winter, gave me about 68g. This is her 3 days before the cut, you can find the grow journal here.
Second one was during the summer but due to the tremendous heat (40C+) I lost my plants, managed to salvage about 80g out of her after some extensive recuperation.
This plant actually started out of curiosity to test my latest DIY hydro bucket. I took the least promising clone that I had and put her in, thinking what the hell, I got nothing to lose. Her first couple of weeks were also under wrong light spectrum as, the only available light I could use in the closet I put her was a 24W led made for a flowering test. This is her on day one, October the 5th.
She remained like that till the beginning of November. I was getting a bit pissed-off and was thinking of getting rid of her. However after a 10-day absence when I left her under the care of my wife, she began growing properly. This is her on November 29.
Xmas found her in the flowering tent.
I switched her to 12/12 on new year's day. Her lighting schedule before that was 24/0 from October 5 till 18/6 from till October 23 under 24W, 18/6 from October 24 till December 2 under a 400W dual spectrum HID lamp.
She was moved in the tent on December 2 and continued veg under a used 600hps, she was getting too big for the bathroom but I wanted to fill the screen before switching her so I kept the light at 18/6 till the 18[SUP]th[/SUP], switched to 15/9 from the 19[SUP]th[/SUP] to the 24[SUP]th[/SUP] and from the 25[SUP]th[/SUP] till new year's eve was on 13/10.

And this is how she's like today, 20 days under 12/12.
I done some extensive defoliage yesterday to clear out whatever possible below the net. This was the second one done, the first one was done at around xmas.
The plants surrounding her now are a critical mass from mr.nice, a white russian and her clone (yes, the clone is larger than the mother) and a clone of the white widow vegged only for about 10 days.
The grow area is 1.2*1.2 metres, under 600 watts as I said. Temperatures and humidity are perfect, 26C high 19C low and 65% - 55% respectively. Been feeding her with the three-part Flora Series at about 150% of the recommended dosage and the past week I supplemented with 13/14 PK from Hesi at 2ml/10litres for a total ppm of about 900-ish ( @ 0.500 Hanna conversion, 1.8 EC).
Comments, questions, suggestions etc are welcome.
