White Widow Diary

Hi, mates, I'm Vincent from Asia, and growing WW, I have a feeling that this time I will success, So, I want to share my current situation to you.

Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients;
Medium: Hydroponics;

And Let's go:

Day 1
I settled down the sprouted seed today, to avoid Leggy Seedling, I gave her a 50W LED light, It should be CLF or T5, but I am lazy.

Day 2
As you see, my seed was above the Peat now, she was set in the cup, sterile, moist.


Day 3
True leaves appeared.


Day 4
Tips broken because electric fan.


Day 7
HID now, light can penetrate the pot, so I putted a cover paper.


Day 9


Day 10


Day 13
I like the slight green color, looked very comfortable.


Day 14
Switch to LED light(200w), HID is way to hot! I grow in my bedroom, there is a big heater in, and HID(250w) generate lots of heat.


Day 16
Root is healthy with AD, water temp is 24.5C, air temp is 27C.

Let it dry out a little its too wet. You may drown it keeping it that wet.

Your light appears to be the wrong spectrum and too far away from the plant.

camera issue

Hey, you added more pics..

It's looking really good now!

Usually a red light is for bloom, that's why I said it looks like the wrong spectrum.

If your plants turn out as good as your photography the plants will do well!

Thank you, and what you said is correct! it was too wet.

That led liight can be added to your grow. Cheap or not it probably has a full color spectrum and the more light the better. yur plant looks great and seems to be growing beautifully good luck.

I notice you are using aluminum foil at the base for a reflector and moisture barrier. This can create hot spots on your leaves where the foil acts like a lense. A board painted flat white or covered in white mylar might be an upgrade. Just thinking out loud.

Day 17
Today's work is tired, I found my leave is lack of Calcium, you can find the tiny yellow spot appeared on the lower leave, and a other phenomenon is the nutrient is very limpid(should be brown because I added B-52&Micro), So, the problem is definitely diagnosed, LACK OF CALCIUM.

I changed the whole tank of nutrient with full strength according AD's direction.

And I should be very careful to examine and distinguish whether is root rot or dyeing color by AD.

And I topped the plant.



Can you notice the point where I topped the girl? Why the center of the young leave are purple? Anything bad?


The dirt is generated by the AD nutrient, ain't my lazy bone.

I will consider your advice, thank you very much.

Your stems look very dark? They should be light green.

It will turn to green since it grow bigger, the main stem shows green now, it was purple a few days ago. I think WW its just like that.

my ww has never done that under normal conditions, my cheese is doing that right now and buds are gong violet too. but WW for me is never purple or red or anything other than limey green

Here is a pic of a ww in my closet

so great, I like it, you must be a great grower with experience. Purple is common, I am sure about that. it will turn to green a few days later when she grow bigger. I brought seeds from Nariva.

Im just a dude who likes plants, whether they grow delicious food or delicious medicine I really love the feeling when you look at a bunch of plants that you grew, and just feel proud. Plus whenever you grew the food you eat it tastes better, same with ganja I find.

Yeah, I agree with you, the happiest moment of a day is taking a look at the plants.

Haha not the happiest moment of the day, if it is you need to enrich things a wee bit. My happiest moments each day are undoubtedly always a result of my beautiful girlfriend, our beautiful home, adorable cat and the fact that we are doing so well when not 6 months ago I was injecting heroin all day every day. Shes stood by me through every ugly moment, every unwarranted misguided outburst, and each lie I told myself or her. She never wavered, and thats fucking nuts most people would jump ship if you were teetering on the edge of serious overdose inches from death a single time; let alone dozens. This got a little long, but point is find something beautiful for your happiest moment each day, and the second happiest can be the plants Thats my philosophical growing tip, cause yknow the meaning of life has direct correlation to harvest time amiright



oh yeah theyre really going to take italics seriously
