Hello,
Thank-you for the likes.
i see you're following my grow.
Forgive me if I was being a jerk.
I am here to learn and become a better grower so I would like to be able to get along with everyone here and take some constructive criticism instead of sarcasm.
I know that I'm guilty of that.
Peace

I'd take direct advice from these people even if they called me an "idiot, you're doing it wrong!". In other words, I see that some of the most experienced people on the site (whom I have come to respect) are trying to help out.

I see over watering, under feeding

Just wanted to clarify that I didn't say over feeding. I said over watering.


Just because you're using smart pots doesn't mean you can't over water.

There are only a handful of mediums that are incapable of being over watered.

Coco, pure perlite, hydroton, rockwool.

If you're using soil you MOST DEFINATELY can over water even in smart pots.


I would back off the frequency rate at which you are watering and least wait until the pot has lost around 50% of its wet weight.

Alright,thank-you.I will do that.
Should I hold off the watering for 3 days at least.

I can tell by the weight that it does dry out and I do water when it seems lighter.
I'll hold off until it seems to dry out more.
Will this help the plant grow bigger buds?

To be honest its however long it takes for them to dry out to a 50% loss.


You want to be able to feel dryness down about 2" from the top of your soil.


It will help create a better root system that isn't clogged down with wet soil.

Droopy leaves are a good indication of over watering.

You can also get over watering symptoms with very dense soil that hasn't been amended with for example perlite.

Aeration is the key in soil based mediums. The more air to wet soil ratio you can get the quicker they'll dry out, the more they will feed, and the healthier roots you will have.

Soil growing you want the emphasis on the roots.

The more healthy roots the better your yield will be.

Looks a little droopy.

Possibly again over watering.


But otherwise healthier than the other by a mile.

This was day 2 of 12/12 in my garden.

Notice how the leaves are relaxed but facing the light not droopy.




This is day 37 of 12/12.

That looks very nice.
I don't think that the one plant of mine is white widow.
I got the seeds from Nirvana and they were all in the same pack but if you look at the way it's growing compared to the other one it looks completely different.
Also,take a look at the leaves of both plants.
Those are definently two different strains.
perhaps that's why I was puzzled from the start as to what the problem was with its growth.
it's a mystery to me as to what strain it is but it sure is not what I expected.

Phenotype variations between seed plants of the same strain depends entirely on the lineage of the parents.

White widow by many breeders is not actually white widow. They're knock offs.

The true white widow you can get from MR NICE SEEDS called BLACK WIDOW.


Its not uncommon to see very different plants from the same strains. One could lean towards a fathers lineage and the other could lean towards the mothers lineage.
