Home from work and saw this - gone 13 hours. Seriously how big does this WWA get? The frigging leaves look like huge grape leaves. I mean this cannot keep up for weeks can it?

Since this thread is about Dina Fem White Widow, I am wondering how long does this strain take to start to flower?

I'm sorry, I wish I knew. But I'll post here the minute I notice it starting. I'm new to autos (1st grow) and DWC (just my 2nd unit).

OK just got back from the store and talking to my new "go to" since I am a total newbie to hydro. He suggested VooDoo and B-52 to add to my Sensi Grow A&B. As a medical guy who has to work with multiple water tests a day at work I am impressed enough with Advance Nutrients pH Perfect line that I willingly pay a few dollars more for the line. Further, the consistent 2 ML/L of final mix is a definite plus for others whether they realize that or not.

When I left to head there my PPM in both DWC units was right at 490-500 PPM million. The Vertigo JUST was increased to that last night and showed the first positive growth in the 2 days they have been in the DWC. But this freaking WWA has been growing and responding since I transplanted the little seedling/rockwool cube in pumice and started at 1500 PPM. That puts the WWA ahead in my book there.

However I am having a hard time finding anybody who has grown it and can tell me full life cycle and average age at onset of flowering. The Dinafem site claims onset beginning the 3rd or 4th week. Total outdoor life cycle is stated as 60-65 days.

I am preparing a timer bank for the (now 4) hydro units and will set these at 20-4 as the breeders states best yields are obtained at 18-20 hours of light. I believe even the Devil deserves some rest so the 4 off is acceptable to my old ass.

I increased PPM to 675 on this by adding the VooDoo, B-52 (15 ML each) and 10ML each of Sensi Grow A&B. Pics tomorrow if it doesn't kill me overnight.

I have a Dinafem WWA at day 60 under 600w along with 3 G13 Labs AK-47A. She smells super dank with bud sites everywhere. I will most definitely be ordering more of these once I grow the other 2 I have out after this grow is completed.

Guy at the hydro store tells me to raise my PPM when I added Voodoo Juice and B-52 so I did. To about 675 PPM, pH is 5.9 but looks like nute OD to me this AM. Live and learn and no problem it can't grow past.

The first time I grew an auto I was shocked at it's vigor - autos are a notch above any photoperiod I have grown so far in that department. The Dinafem autos I have ran have all powered through veg super fast and stopped at between 2 and 3 feet. Sooner it gets near that height the sooner it starts the bud party :)

Still looks like nutes too high, maybe N, but just going to ride it out. Not going to get into the drain & refill plain bit and start problems with fluctuating PPM. Still growing up and out, the main stem is incredible for such a young plant. This hydro stuff might have me hooked. My 4 seeds started for dirt and now in dirt are runts compared to the Vertigos I also started in DWC. They didn't respond until PPM hit 490-500. This girl responded immediately to even low levels of nutes so cheaper to keep for sure.

nice plant man. The leaf blades look like the heat stress that mine got. What are your temps at? You could try raise the lights or reposition any fans to stop them blowing directly onto the plant. Thats what worked with me, so it might be what you need? good luck whatever it is :leaf:

Yeah I nailed it down to heat although it's cold here with the windows open. 52F for a high. Res temp is 69.9, room temp is 78 but it's in a bathtub (emergency company visiting but now looks committed through winter with the 22-gallon next to it). I think the air wasn't moving enough so added a bigger fan to the 1 and the wide open window. Thanks I mos def appreciate any input from anybody. +rep for you.

BTW pH was 6.1 so I did adjust to 5.9 but PPM is stable this AM at 653 so nute OD is looking less likely. Why I nailed it down to air. My common harping theme at others.
