Hey fellow growers,
Took a clone of my friends outdoor white widow grow. Didn't get a chance to clone her until half way through flowering. Not the best time, but with a lot of TLC & patience, she came through nicely.
I intend to build a screen, but have g/f 's parents coming to stay soon, so have to move her out of the house for a week. Will have to scrog her 6th December.
The kit:
Soil (to start off) - BioBizz organic light mix.
After a few weeks repotted into BioBizz all mix.
Nutrients - All Biobizz organic. Veg, Bloom, top max, molasses.
Schedule - first few weeks - nothing, plenty of nutes in the soil.
Veg to flowering - BioBizz veg starting with about 2ml / watering building up to 5ml / watering.
Flowering - Biobizz Veg (2ml) + Bloom (5ml) + topmax (5ml) / watering + molasses (2 teaspoons / week)
Watering - when she's dry (going by pot weight) 2ltr brita triple filtered water usually every 3-4 days. I always let my water sit for 24hrs before using it.
Pot size - 8 litre (2.11 US gallons)
Light (veg stage) - 200W CFL Envirolite.18/6 through-out. Like the one pictured below -
She will be flowering under a 400W HPS with cooltube.
Temps - around 26C (78-80F)
Humidity - unknown.
Air - 2 x 80mm PC fans for intake. 1 x 12" desk fan for circulation. 400w HPS has its own inline extraction fan through cooltube.
Space - 2.5ft deep x 3.5ft wide x 5ft high
Starter cubes - Fleximix Organic Root Riot starter cubes (Far better than rockwool)
Chemicals - Clonex rooting hormone + Superthrive (1 drop only)
Preparing the clone - Soaked the cube in a mix of clonex and a drop of superthrive.
Ready for a trim
Let her sit in the water mixed with clonex & superthrive for a few hours.
The base of the clone was cut at an angle and dipped in Clonex.
After 11 days in a humidity dome, got a root -
Day 11. So, into the biobizz light mix she goes -
Day 36. She was slow to grow at first. Days 11-36 were unexciting as she stayed pretty much the same while she settled in.
Day 39 Starting to take off
Day 44 The light is usually a couple of inches from the top of the plant
Day 50. She was repotted into an 8 ltr pot with BioBizz all mix soil and given a good soaking with 2ltr of filtered water. Time to try my first fim.
The growth to get fimmed -
The fim cut off about 80% of the growth
The fim. 5 days later
The fim. Different angle
The fim. 8 days later. Multiple tops are developing.
Day 58 Starting to take shape. No main cola, nice flat canopy for an even spread of light. Height 32cm
For now, I'm tying her branches back with string (LST) preparing her to be screened. When she gets back from the babysitter, she will be put under a 400W HPS for 12/12.
