Yes this is the last grow due to my declining eye condition. I had to give up everything else and now growing. Its the "Way It Is" and can't be changed. I have to make peace with it.

wishing you all the best and here is to a happy harvest!

cheers!

These are fast flowering 60 day plants. In 5 days I will have 60 days flowering. I'm giving them pure water without anything. No discharge, letting the plant finish whats in the container. Old school White Widow.

Since the buds are dense I have to be careful not allow conditions for bud rot. Since I know what my water holding capacity for each container I can go into drought state easily using pure water only.

During flowering I use 3000 ml per container every 48 hours. To start the drought I will drop to 2000 ml per 48 hours. Since I using pure water without nutrients the plants are sucking the water up twice as fast. So the pots are empty for the last 12 to 18 of the 48 hours. I will do this until the end.

I'm not trying to sale any products here, just making a statement. From one grower to the next, if you have enough money and space to get yourself one of those 640 watt dimmable LEDs, they are a good buy. I'm surprised by how well they perform and how much bud they produce. Plus the resin content is out of this world equal to HPS lights.

I'm glad you said it...just yesterday someone said to have less resin since he uses LED..I giggled to myself as I also have a lot more on my flower compared to hps.

I'm using a 150w, a 400w and a 650w.
But the 650 I can't crank up fully without extra co² or I loose a lot of weight. ATM I'm using it at 55% and everything is going great.

Is that a dehumidifier in the background? Looks like a neat little model, I wouldn't mind buying the same one if you could give me a brand name, that would be lovely.

May I ask which light you use?
Plants are looking stellar by the way😎🤙

Yes, I put a dehumidifier in the grow during late flowers. I catch about a quart of water a day. I got the light at Home Depot for $300.

Today is day 60 and 3 plants are very fast finishing. When there's no disruptions this strain is quick. Looking back now and the photos at Dutch Passion I think these were Dutch Passion White Widows from 18 years ago. I'm taking 3 of them tonight before the lights come on.

I still have 40 more days of "indoor growing season" left before the final unplugging. So I've added a extra experiment for the last 40 days so I can get the most out of this light before shutting down.

After I flipped my White Widows to 12/12 in Feb, I started 10 new cups on Feb 6 of another fast strain. I think these are some old God Bud from Canada. They have been growing since the Feb 6th in the little closet, which is a little too long because they need more room and light. I timed it out and calculated the planting time so they would start and finish before the final unplugging.

I had to harvest 3 WW plants at 60 days because they were stinking so bad I couldn't breathe. These plants have a lot of dense tops covered with resin. I still have 2 WWs left, one is outdoors. Heres before and after the chop.

I have 40 days left in this growing season before I shut it down. Since these plants have been flipped since Feb 15th the timing is right.

Stepping out of the box, I wanted to try a different growing model using high EC in small containers with this LED setup. Instead of boosting the CEC in large containers using a low EC and a lot of water, I would just run plain soil-less in small containers with a high EC. I will be using the table charts exactly the way they say from the beginning to the end. Can I get big dense buds using a double amount of EC?

Potting soil is Promix Hp in one gallon pots.

Fertilizer I’m using is the General Hydroponic flora series. Cal mag is General Hydroponic too. No acid or pH up.

Water is plain rainwater but subject to change to RO in drought times.
