Round Two! White Widow Autogrow

@bob31 @Stomper Day 29. These girls are much bigger than the last round! Must be the lighting control. It’s the only thing that’s different.

@growingherbies they look great! You are doing a great job with them!

4.75" tall now as opposed to this time last time - pic below is Snoop & Martha.

Very nice. I’ll watch!

I have a 2’ x 2’ tent - what would the easiest way to build a scrog net in this size be? I’d really like to get them to spread out more this time around.

do you have anything around the house already that you can use for the scrog? Old fencing or something? I used old plastic coated fencing for mine @growingherbies

There are lots of ways to do a scrog. I used 2x3s. But mine isn’t a tent. The pvc pipe ones are easy to build and can be made to tear down. Wood posts with some fencing.

If you have an old grill screen I have seen that work. A pvc frame with string is cheap- under $15.

@bob31 @suctionmed I actually found this beauty on Amazon which is exactly what I was trying to figure out how to make it work. Something that would just attach to the frame of my tent itself. Gonna give it a shot see how it works out.

perfect @growingherbies

@Hogmaster @bob31 @Stomper Alright alright - these are WAY overdue. I actually wound up losing the two I originally planted. So these babies I plated August 26th. Saturday will be the beginning of week 11. These I actually have done nothing but plant them in FFOF and water with RO water. No worm castings, no training. I don’t know if genetics is why they’re so much shorter than the other two were or if it’s because I didn’t use the castings, maybe a combination of the two. But these babies are THICK. Nice tall thick dense buds. Trichomes are just starting to be slightly milky at the end. Going to start two more this week sprouting while these babies finish up. The last two were taller but the buds weren’t this thick and dense. Curious to see what kind of weight I get out of these two. Next round I’m going FFOF and worm castings again and doing the scrog to see how that affects things. Let me know what you guys think.

Those are purty. I am not experienced with autos so I can’t speak to training and timing on them except for second hand stuff. Not sure about scroging autos tho. Most do very little with them except feed and water. That’s their beauty.

SCROGing an auto wouldn’t work. They go into flower before they would benefit from the topping / fiming and scroging @growingherbies

And, they do look great!

I’d gotten mixed responses when asking about the scrogging of them. My last two grew taller than these are, but these have much denser buds. Curious to see how the weights compare once I harvest and dry. Genetics, man. lol

If you wait till the 5th node and then fim or top within a week they will begin flowering. They need another couple of weeks and another fim or top to have enough to scrog and then you need to let them grow until 75% of the SCROG is full and then start flowering.

I just don’t mess with the Autos. @growingherbies

there are a lot of opinions on the subject but I feel it only hurts your yields. The best way to understand it is to try it yourself if you have the beans to do so!

Generally you wind up with a dry weight of about 20% of the wet weight. If you are interested we have a topic where you can post your wet and dry weights

Harvested Bob & Ziggy today - 155 grams of wet weight. First round it was 159, so even though these two wound up quite a bit smaller, the weight’s not that far off compared to last time. The buds are nice and dense. I was concerned the yield would be a lot less, but, really, it’s not that much of a difference. Hooray genetics! :laughing:

Just gorgeous @growingherbies

Congrats…those look pretty tasty to me. Could you share the final height/width of your WW Autos? I just ordered some…

They’re both in 2 gallon pots. The first round they were about 22" above the top of the pot - I didn’t measure this time - but they couldn’t been more than 12-14" above - mush shorter, but I had a hard time getting the scissors in to cut sugar leaves out. The buds were HELLA dense and thick. THe main colas were as big as my hand and a good 3" in diameter probably. First go around with WW my final weight was just over 2 1/2 ounces between the two plants. I quick dried some because I was impatient so I don’t know exact weight on that. I’ll let you know what final weight winds up being on these once they dry out. You won’t be disappointed. What kind of grow space do you have? I’m growing in a 2’ x 2’ x 4’ tent. Just using RO water and FFOF soil. No nutes whatsoever.

Thanks, growingherbies…waiting on my 20 WWA beans to arrive. Sounds like I’ll be able to run them all at once. How is the stink factor while growing?
