ICMag with help from Landrace Warden and The Vault is running a NEW contest in November! You can check it here.
Prizes are seeds & forum premium access. Come join in!
Its a nice plant, and the un-topped plant makes a beautiful specimen. And untopped is up next, along w/ an ounce or two of seed. I've bred this WR (which I THINK was white label) with Hawaiian and AK-47 separately and the plants were extremely hit and miss, production wise. The WR/WR puts out a fairly consistent quality, no disappointments that weren't my own fault, like sending into flowering at < 4 weeks. The stuff I have veging is already putting out female flowers and they get light 24 hrs a day. Haven't had a hermie - ever.
Took a couple buds down, and still bring the new batch out to the living room to spend the "night", and keep them from budding, and its a nice smell while I watch TV. Having a finance shortage which prevents a nother veg area, oh, and a shitty 150 watt MH light that died after a month, and I was too lazy to trade it in. Oh well.
The smell of these two day dried buds is like strong hash. You almost cough from the smell. AND the whole house smells like weed, badly. And thats with a 50 pound carbon filter. You walk in the door and smell weed growing and (then) massive air freshener. Its a joke.
Woke up today and decided to harvest and transplant the untopped crop in its place.
Shown below is the bud from this harvest. There was also quite a bit of trim and quite a bit of lower buds that filled a box. The kid took it upstairs to make into something he calls hash oil.
I started germinating the seeds the second week of November (I think). They were 4 inch seedlings on Dec. 1. Had I given more light and another week or two of vegetative growth the yields would have been better. The next batch is still in veg and 17-24 inches high and wont be topped. Hoping to get another 600 watt light. This last shit turned out pretty good though. I wanted a quick crop, now I'll grow it how I like to grow WR, untopped with an arm sized cola.
The plant closest to the horizontal wire looks like it grew a bit since yesterday
That last harvest yielded 8-9 ounces. 7 1/2 oz of good sized main buds in the jar now, the rest in side buds that didn't get weighed. Hard to know exactly since I was smoking the shit for 2-3 weeks before the final harvest.
This next one will end up with 5 females from the group growing in the picture below. Turned it down from 24hr to 12hr last night. hoping for some big colas, and some seeds. I might have given it too much fertilizer, some burnt leaves, especially if the soil starts to get dry. Hopefully I can afford a 2nd 600 watt light this time to up the yield to a pound.
I'm wondering if I should use the one obvious male for pollen, that also has female pistils on it (first row - right), or a male that isn't showing flowers pre-twelve hour.
Took the most heavily flowered true male and bred it to the best looking female of the batch. My White Rhino will live on, should produce at least an ounce of seed.
Nice grow man, that white rhino is looking lovely. I'm actually looking into buying a pack of WR from nirvana when i get my cab situated. Do you know which seed bank your WR came from?
Switching to hydroponic. Have a RO system purchased from HTG. Had to tear down quickly after I decided to get rid of some crack adict who was hanging around. She didn't know about the grow but called me to bitch about the breakup, then called the cops to file phone harrasment charges against me. So after a quick teardown and taking my phone records down to amend to her (false) report I haven't heard anything from the cops. Did manage to get a shitload of seeds though somewhat small, they germinate.
Cant be growing when there might be a forthcoming arrest warrant. But apparently my proving that she called me and I never call her, they decided to leave me alone.
