I know @Esrgood4u a couple of years back, grew out a white widow that gave him like 13 oz , i think his was an auto + in DWC .? - i have a few Black Widow seeds somewhere - who’s white widow breeder you got your seeds from .?
im growing in soil ( Bio Bizz & House & Garden bat mix - i have a big bag of chunky perlite which i mix to make it 33% perlite in the ‘soil’…
Plus worra coincidence that you’re growing out two strains that i mentioned - the MMH & SSSDH…!
Will you tag me when you’re finished those or give me a link to your thread and I’ll have a look at your journal .?! Cheers mate …
This is the thread where I show that plant. It shows my methods from beginning to end, although the Black Candyland is a side show.
In short, it was grown in my ebb and grow buckets using Greenleaf Nutrients.
I don’t remember how long I vegged it, but it was taken from my aeroponics tub, so it was small enough to pull the roots through a 2 inch hole. Here’s an example of what it probably looked like…
That’s 5 plants, and the tote size is 50 gallons. I can’t really let them get much bigger than this, so that’s why I think the Black Candyland was about this size. And your specific question about how long I let it veg is not a good guide to go by. Not all plants grow at the same rate - even if they’re the same strain. If the plants are happy and getting exactly what they need, the growth can be faster than you might expect. Here are those same 5 plants 20 days earlier:
They’re sitting in my 5 gallon cloning/seedling bucket. You can see they’re not all the same size, so I moved the 3 smallest ones to the big tub and increased their nutes, and let the 2 largest ones remain in that bucket until they were all the same size.
Here are those 3 smallest ones that same day, after I moved them to the tub. So you can really see their growth in 20 days when you look at the more recent pic of all 5…
It was a pheonix seeds WW auto bro. She went 16 weeks in total though. I’m sure I had to eventually switch to 12/12 for a week until she started flowering then back to 18/6 again. Was a total beast.
I had a Original Amnesia photo from Dinafem give me 12 Oz with just a 4 week veg period and 10 week bloom from flip in RDWC 30L bucket under 650w of solstrips.
Those big plants were when I was less lazy and gave them a lot of love and attention than I do now. I really need to pull my finger out and start growing like that again
I grew Maui Mango Haze to make fem seeds and I’m sure it would finish in under 10 weeks. Probably under 9. Not sure how much it would yield though, since I didn’t veg long because I was only trying to produce a small amount of seeds.
I recently grew a Samsquanch OG auto in an Octopot and got just under half a pound. It grew pretty damn big in an Octopot. Can’t tell you how the smoke is though.
Pheonix Seeds doesn’t get enough recognition for their gear. Their big yield auto is awesome. 5/5 for sure…easy grow, gets huge, stinks like awesomeness, looks amazing, smokes amazing…all around pleasure to grow and smoke.
The ww was meh. Just your typical pine tasting white widow and not that strong of a smoke.
The original amnesia was excellent. Took everything I threw at her. The smoke was nice. Strong lemon smell to her. A bit jittery in my opinion.
Where can one purchase the Murdah Cookies and ‘Nympho bases’ autos - both cultivars look nice, i am kinda looking for potency 1st & yields being good/great ,2nd in priority. .
Thanks a bunch for all your comments & hopefully I’ll find something in amongst the seeds i already have …?!
I have a white widow auto from ilgm that I will likely pull close to 500g plus from, others one run have been good yields and it’s one if those plants that responds well to HST
Watermelon Zkittlez and DSD auto from
Barney’s may even surpass the white widow. If each cola fattens up as I think it might I may end up with a crazy yield from both, but especially the WS. This amnesia auto should be a good yield as well, but she’s got a lot less weight in the colas to add… She was defoliated and lollipopped from weeks 2-9
