she looks ok, so far, but i`m concerned that she is showing Mag deficiency
you can see the leaves curling upward, i have flushed through with water and epsom salts,
if anyone thinks differently, please feel free to comment.

How's it going (emannn2010)
Im interested in your grow.
I have a White Rhino seedling growing under 69w of cfl.

Good luck

hi mr.lightgr3en, growing well i hope.
as you can see she definately showa she`s not happy with
something.
i`m growing her under 3x23w cfl/daylight and 1x23w cfl/warm light
i have had her up close, about 2" away but i first thought that i was
to close and lowered her down to 4"away.
i have had the lights on for 18hrs + and sometime 24hrs but am trying
to keep it to 20/4 , i have 1 exhaust fan and passive intake.
temps are stable 26c max whem lights on and 20c when off.
water is 6.5ph
soil is 7ph
i used coffee grounds to lower the soil from 7.5ph but now i`ve got
this problem i feel i should concentrate on solving the leaf issue
first. i might be wrong though.
i did feed her with 1/4 strenght nutes in her second week but i
have now stopped the nutes.
i also had c02 from a home made bottle with a straw, which was aimed
under the leaves, but took it away the other day in case i was doing her
damage, mixture in bottle was yeast/sugar and a tiny amount of baking
soda + water.
i have brushed the underside of her leaves with water and epsom salts today.
good luck with the white rhino, looking forward to seeing the
results.

She looks a bit over watered but I can see what your talking about. It can probably be (Mn) or (Mg) def.
You'd did hood with coffee grounds and Epson salt. But dont over do it sometimes and can make the problem worse. Don't water or do anything to it till the dirt drys up completely.
Has her growth stunted.
My W.R has the same deficiency im wondering if it's genetics since White Widow is an ancestor of the White Rhino. I read somewhere to feed every other watering with 1/4 strength of Epson salt but still need to do some research on that.

But for now leave her and watch out for any changes try not to do to much to her. Patience is virtue.

Good luck
Hoped i helped a little.

you could be right, i was watering a little every other day, the soil on top was defo dry and slightly moist when i did the finger test, i shall leave the water till the pot is dry.
i did re-pot her last night, as i felt the new soil i was putting in would not be fcked up by me, no visible stress on her.
before i read your post i did brush her leaves with water and epson salts again, but again will leave for awhile.
i planted her on the 5th april making her 19 days today and yes it seemed to me she is a little stunted, but as it goes it might not work out to bad as i am growing in a
pc box.
looking back on it, 20 years ago when i grew a few times in my loft i made every mistake in the book, there certainly wasnt the information there is today, but the smoke
was like being in amsterdam ;-)
i gatta say the yanks have defo taken this subject to heart and have made huge strides with growing techniques, if only i`d known about fimming, topping and lst back then.
i used to have to tie up the branches to the roof trusses as they weighed to much for the plant, hooks are still there lol.
i`ll defo keep to your tip........Patience.
Thank-you very much for helping.

Good your doing good.
How many days is she?

AimAim: how your experience with this strain. Easy to grow or she a picky bitch.

On my WR its on its second set of leafs. And you can already see the indica leafs.
I read that it is 90% indica 10% sativa.
With a read strong head high couch lock stone. =D
even though I like sativa.
The indica is more of a pain reliever to me. And I need that right now.

I'm glad she came through so I guess I'm a little late but my guess would be she just got a little over watered and a little shocked but if she's good now then great! Next grow I'd reccomend to try to let the plant bounce back before trying to fix it. But good luck man I'll definitely be watching! I'm thinking about trying MNS G13 Widow so I'd love to see how this cab WW goes

Hey emannn2010 or (notmycupoftea) i have my WR in a cup of noodle cup. She is 2 weeks old.

I think she has stopped growing or is slowing down on growing how big is your pot I think she is getting

Root bound.

I want to find out first before i transplant because i want to feed one more time. But if it's necessary I'll transplant now.

Also my first set of leafs are turning light green and yellow what foes that mean??

Thanks and good luck.

as you can see she looks healthier, she is also tied down so she grows along the bottle, when she
gets to the end of the bottle i will top her and then, hopefully, lst her down either side, we shall see.
fingers crossed guys.

It looks nice and healthy im right behind you at day 17.

I think she was getting rootbound although when I transplanted I didn't see that many roots.

How are your temps.

be noticed that my W.R likes it a little warm in the box when it gets cold.

She tends to turn droppy. When it's warm like 85-88 she perks up like sheshappy.

Also it doesn't drink alot of water maybe im just a noobbut when i leave her thirsty she looks better.

I water 200ml every 5 days.

what kinof soil are you using.

Sorry for talking so much its just that we basically have the same strain =D

She looks beautiful good idea with the bottle =D

@mr.lightgr3en damn you're plant doesn't drink much at all.. My plant at 10 days, was drying up all the soil in a solo cup over night! But I agree, it looks happiest when it's a little dry.





@OP This grow is looking nice and bushy, although, I'm a noob, but I wouldn't top it unless you have too. It seems to be keeping a low profile, let it do its thing.

topping wouldnt really make it bushy or shorter, it would just grow back with more main colas instead of just having one
