New Grower 1st grow ever... Dinafem White Widow XXL

Hey, I had to leave town again for a week, had to live in my other apartment. Someone watched my plants.

I thought I wrote a short post I wanted but I didn't. I decided to believe in them and keeping them. They are not the best looking for sure but recovered and grew a lot, only the bottom leaves seems to be fucked up and top leaves looks nice. The shorter motherfucker almost tripled in size holy fuck (but still considered small I guess). If both of them gives me just 1oz I'm good with that for 3 months, or with other words till my next grow which will go much smoother knowing what I have to pay attention.

What I think with my beginner knowledge is the primary issue was that I overwatered them and the high ph of my tapwater(even with soloutions) only contributed to the problem probably didnt do too much damage if only have this problem, and also read somewhere Dinafem White Widow XXL-s are very thirsty to Ca. The shorter one was eaten up by some bugs which I could have avoided if covering the windows 1 week sooner lol. Considering how quickly I decided this 'lets grow my own weed' project and how little time I had in the beginnings to read and learn- especially that I have never read anything about gardening in my life which was written in English so understanding what I read what difficult to a point and made my research much slower- I'm not really mad at myself for fucking up.

I started to wait more between feeds and give them less water. Also put little bit of Mg and Ca and using some vinegar to bring the ph down (I know its not the best idea to use vinegar and will buy lemon tomorrow and use that and not attract bugs.). Brought the water ph down to 6.0 which I thought is a good idea as probably the soil has too much alkalinity(or whatever the word is), I guess it worked. The small one really surprised me!


I also started doing some LST, using strings to tie down the top branch. I will adjust the strap tomorrow, just being slow and cautious here.


Just pure off? Haha 888 number seems to find me a lot in the past 2 weeks. I did a shroom trip 2 weeks ago and before that I went to the store to buy some 'safety net' for the journey, which was high sugar cookies and orange juice just in case things go wrong(some says it helps somehow with sinephrine?). Paid 888 currency. Also got a letter with this number and saw it in really abnormally high frequency in situations that had some meaning(during interesting convos). I And now I took a picture of my plants and one picture number is IMG_0888. It is maybe just randomness or I paid more attention to it since my trip but its interesting to me. :smoking: Maybe I should play some on the 888poker. :d5:


Thanks for all the help guys!

Thank you for the answers!
Didn't really think spiders do any harm for the plant (plain logic) but asked anyways, better to be safe than sorry!:d5:


Today I bought the HPS and MH light as well, so tomorrow will set up my growroom. (OFF) I dont like to say bad about people,but fuck the woman in the store was a bitch! She asked if I'm a beginner in growing and I said yes. I told her I only need the light set. She tried to convince me with the worst possible tone in her voice that I need a tent set. I said I have plenty room and will use floor vent and windows/door to keep the temperature under control. She said "ohhh okay so why dont you just go outside and spew your seeds somewhere and just let them grow without touching them". When I asked why tent is so necessary she said "cannabis is a very precious plant". 2 customers were in the store and said that tent is absolutely not necessary in my situation. One would expect that you would meet a friendly stoner clerk in a growshop. lol Told her she is lucky today cause I traveled a lot to buy the set but under different conditions I would never spend a dime here. I guess she was mad that she couldnt convince me to spend 500 $ there, spent 200$ total.

That is rude as hell,she deserved a kick in the crotch and a bitch slap. 200.00 is a good amount to spend in one trip it.You could have really messed her up with that spewing the seed comment. I would give you an example but I:biggrin: will keep it clean
 
Hello folks,

I guess things get better since I solved the overwatering, ph issues and possible Ca defeciency. I look forward to my second growth as I could just avoid all these mistakes.

I bumped up the nutes a bit too. I gave 1l of water every 3days now its 1.25l and will see how it does as after giving them 1liter the soil was dry. I switched to HPS today. Its day 42(if I remember correctly) so probably its a bit late too, but whatever. XXLs need some extra weeks and I fucked up a bit so if their life cycle allows it will be 12-13 weeks.

Tell me guys what you think!

Cheers!

I can't say as I'm only on my second grow but let me give you a example you said you had no time to study I'm so anal I would not even start a seedling until I felt I had everything for the whole grow then I studied for a year:yoinks: before my first grow after all that studying I still had problems and my first grow was a rough one but a very important one I will do better this time I did get 10 oz from all that reading my only mistake was not growing sooner you got planty time to read there's a lot you can only learn by growing.:thumbsup: I admire those of you that jump straight in its just not in my character.
 
Hello,

Had kinda fucked up weeks behind me, didnt have too much time and energy.

So one of them is kinda looking better than the other one but none of them looks good lol. I think one of them is pretty pretty close to harvesting? I'm being a bit optimistic maybe and they are just dying off? The big fan leaves started to yellow and fell off. The smaller one doesnt look like it is mature at all.

When I got home I found caterpillars on it, 10 I picked and killed. Looks like they doesnt give a fuck about neem oil at all, I see black eggs all around my plants, and I keep spraying them with neem oil and soap solution, I'm not too happy about it as it is close to harvest.


So its week 8(day 56 +-3days), and looks like this:



What do you guys think? Is it close to harvest or just had enough of me abusing them and decided to die?

@912GreenSkell , @Cat @fatcalvin @derek420colorado (but I am interested in everyones oppinion!)

Haha thats the other end I guess. I do believe one need knowledge, but nothing can beat experience. I read quite a lot during my grow and now I definetly know what I messed up.
 
Hello folks

This post is a rant mostly.

I disappeared for a while, didnt really see any point in writing about my fucked up little flowers-even though I love them. Had events which made me more cautious, which will probably result in me shutting down this account, and using a new I will use with the TOR network or VPN. I didnt want to go too much details in this, I hope you guys understand it.

(This part is just fantasy) One of them have(had ) probably 10g wet buds on it, not much, I know. The other one has some nice buds too, but is probably good 2 weeks behind and all of the big fan leaves died. I hope it has that much green in it to absorb a little bit more light and make the buds mature. I started to use it as an SOS supply and dried it in the oven. I know its not too sophisticated.Honestly I have enough of fucking shitty dealers who thinks business is about you giving the cash and getting a terrible product and service in return. I think I was reasonable with them, like I called them once or twice in a months, didnt say mad shit not even numbers on the phone etc etc. In return the service is like: I call but they never call back despite 0.1$ is a min and you dont chitchat for hours obv, I can wait for half an hours but they cant wait 10 mins or just quitting on me last minute, just trying to make me feel like they do biggest favour on the Earth for me, even though I pay. Have 0 flexibility in their schedule working from home lol.

Then complaining about customers who sing to the police( ITS DEF NOT ME!) when getting caught but what do you expect if you just messing with people using their "dependency" on you, and not treating one like your customer.

But yeah, whatever
