Somewhat analogous to baby rattle snakes having the more potent venom! Watch out that toddler is a killer!

Not the GG4 from Floyd! That guy has owned the GG4 strain and made it his you know what! I was blessed to grow one of his strains and with heat and humidity stress through the whole grow I didn’t get a single nanner from 3 plants! This bubblegum auto I’m growing now, I lost count how many I’ve yanked off lol

GG girl over a week later and putzin’ along. The White Widows are growing quite compact. Smell heavenly. I intend to SCROG but will need longer branches. During this third grow, I’ve kept no grow log as I did on first two runs. Not at all feeling overly confident as much as knowing what I truly can/should do and equally healthy dose of staying out of her way. I’ve also backed way off on watering. I check them individually and feel for weight. I also cut nutrients way back. I needed a break from the obsessive note taking and verifying online. So I’m frickin’ taking it easy on this one. Still executing all the basic requirements of each stage, I’m trying to observe and listen to what the plants are asking of me. An overall approach that is interesting most days. I just had a 14mm bowl of Mimosa and stoned. Bedtime here. Pics follow. Enjoy.

I fully agree with @Draig no one will tell you better what your plants want. Than your plants. Sometimes you gotta stop looking and start listening

WW is a yield monster. I used to put one in just incase my other plants didn’t perform as I expected. The smoke is meh at best for me but if your wanting to totally fill a tent you can’t go wrong with WW. Plants looks perfect so keep doing what your doing.

White Widow coming along just fine. Weaved them into net 3 days ago. Just letting it grow. On this third grow I’ve reduced nutrients by half as well as no water until plants tell me they’re ready for it! I was too helpful and eager the first two grows when it came to abundantly available fresh water and bottled nutrients. No more hovering over the plants other than one daily check in. These Herbies seeds (White Widow Dutch Passion and GG) have done very well! Also have a few rooting clones from current plants in veg. Learned that lesson on second grow when I finished the plant and had nothing ready and even had to order seeds! Life got a bit busy and I was quietly overwhelmed with these beautiful plants while dealing with other moving parts of life. But I was determined to have my steak and cake and eat the damn things too! The clones in party cups are from current grow of White Widow plants. Coming along nicely considering…

I’ll flip the WW to flower in a week or so. Was just thinking and revisiting the hot topic of 24,48, or 36 hr. dark period before flipping to flower. While some say they noticed no difference, others won’t make a move without it claiming bigger and better yield. I want to figure out where I stand on this matter. I did 48 hr darkness on first grow before flipping to flower. The second grow I did 24 hrs of darkness then flipped to flower. This third grow I will do the same.
What are you all doing about that? Do you shut off lights for 24 or more hrs then flip to flower 12/12? Do you unzip tent and holler at plants that your switching gears to 12/12 or do nothing at all?

Bout time we had some tent drama. Can someone tell me WTF!!! Uh, excuuuuuse me?!? I looked into my 2x4 tent this evening and one of the plants is doing what’s in pictures below. It’s the only plant doing this as the others remain normal - like I saw them yesterday! The others look normal and have normal colors as well.

It’s been suggested that we’re looking at a Copper deficiency. I checked my runoff PPMs and it was off the charts. Very surprising as I held back on nutes and even cut everything in half. I checked again to make sure my pH meter was calibrated and it was too high! This can apparently be caused by improper pH on water or runoff which reduces availability of Copper to the plant. I did an emergency flush for the first time.
Here’s the Columbo moment folks. Here it comes as he scratches his head turns back around before showing himself to the door asking: “One more thing Sir, did you mention being up late one night mixing nutes, and on ONE of the pitchers of water, you recalled forgetting to pH”…
Turns out my city water pH can soar above 10 pH and vary wildly depending on nutes added.

I don’t understand prolonged darkness but I do like to let the plants know the switch is imminent. From classic rock/ Hip-Hop to Jazz/Reggae. I enjoy bong hits and comedy with the plants but don’t think hollering at em about anything is a good idea.
Keep up the good work
Peace

Follow up on single GG plant growing in 3 gal. pot within 2x2 tent. In flower 8 wks now. Flower times for this one range 8 to 10 wks. Buds are OK with half being golf ball size and the rest will cure into smaller pieces. I can smell the potency. Will be a small harvest for considering size of plant and space but I wish I could smoke this now. In the 2x4 tent I seem to have recovered a little with the plant that received water that wasn’t pH’d at all. It just might make it. Will follow up with pics on that tent soon!

The one plant that received 10+ pH water seems to be recovering after all. Color improved from that yellow to light green and lots of new growth. She’s growing on schedule. This reminds me, I’ve had these little beauties in veg since 7/10/22. Tomorrow I flip to 24 hrs darkness then 12/12 flower.
I can’t believe how hands off I’ve been during this third grow. I will say, despite good genetics from Herbies, these plants turned out great and best overall condition during all phases of growth.

The little GG plant in 3 Gal. pot has been drying for a week now. The 2x4 with White Widow took off with a little stretch, got wild, and required a little pruning and second net. The non pH’d plant is recovering nicely and continuing to grow as strong as the others. Will be keeping it following that disappointing scare. Don’t make the mistake I did by forgetting to pH one of the pots being watered. Considering my tap runs pH 10+, she was quick to bitch me out and even changed color.
I hated having to flush that pot when I was cutting back on water as a newbie. But I understood what to do and why thanks to you guys!
Damn, I thought today was Friday and was going to upload a pic of my water pipe and newly packed bowl for some Good Times. Well, that’ll just have to come tomorrow. See ya’ll Friday! No sweat - No shit…

My little GG girl in 3 gal pot is done drying. Tad over 2 oz. Tested a 14 mm bowl and holy shnikes… Not even cured and pretty good. This was supposed to be GG but hits me 100% Sativa with pretty nice head games. This is 5% couch lock and 95% happy wowza head. Way too introspective and ADD qualities. I mean I’ve been working on this message for some 30 minutes now. Just realized that the news channel in background kept anchoring in my brain and my fingers would freeze. Frozen stiff and paralyzed by a couple of news stories. Then came the break through. It was neither my hyper introspection, induced ADD, writers block, or the news stories on TV that were causing these comfortably numb and occasional wowza head moments. It’s the fact that I’m poody jacked up stoned. Yeah, that explains everything, and I mean everything. BobHasBurgers just finished a bag of gummies. Man oh man…
Thank You to this beautiful plant. So grateful to finish it in 3 gal. pot. She grew fast and happy delivering such a beautifully smooooooth nutty/herbal smoke. Man oh man…
Last week I said I’d post a pic of my water pipe with bowl of something special. Well, life got in the damn way and it’s now Monday. But today my drying GG was ready to be transferred to jars. Although not cured, I snuck a 10mm bowl. As I went to light this beautiful sample, I understood why I was delayed in posting the pic. Update on the WW 2x4 tent coming soon. Aggressive plants for sure.
Cheers!
