Aw man, I'm glad things have turned around for you. That second pic looks very nice and green. It's probably too late for the majority of those yellow leaves but, hopefully the new stuff will be nice and resinous. You can probably remove the leaves that are all crusty and dead - they're not doing anything positive for the plant anymore anyways so.. if you tug lightly at the stems, they may even just pop off super easily.
As for guiding you through a grow, I don't think I would be able to commit all the time needed for that, one on one like, however, you can definitely run a daily blog (aka a diary) that I will try to check as often as I can. And, in a diary, it will be available for all of us to see as well so, what I might not know (and that's a lot, lol), someone else probably will.
If you're at all able, I'd suggest making some of my supersoil.. it's all I ever use and unless something is really off, I rarely run into issues. Boring grows are the best grows. 😉
This is what i have mate:
This is the one I use. Comes with a wifi adapter but can also connect via direct usb/micro usb connector
here’s a sample pic
your mircoscope will do the trick however something with a bit more magnification and durability will last longer and will be easier to use. I used that exact same scope and it pooped out on me after a few runs. Also is this White Widow XXL by dinafem? if so you should be planning to harvest 80 days from your germination date. I have a few pictures of my most recent harvest in the plant picture section if you want to check it out.
The model I use is this one, but I'm in Canada and that link is for '.ca'. If you're in the States, Monkey's link will suit you much better. Same scope, different factory. 😉
Hmm, I can't vouch for the darkness - I have heard the same thing from people but, I haven't really seen much of a difference myself, and there are is no actual data to support it, at least to my knowledge. If there is a study out there I'd love to read it.
As for the watering though, I can say that there is some science (see Chapter 5 (pg 100 specifically) of Dr. Deron Caplan's PhD thesis - the one on the far right - 'Propogation and Root Zone...') that says drying them out (not to death obviously) and simulating a 'drought' type environment can cause THC/CBD production to increase. But it's only one study, and does contradict itself in the following chapter, which he addresses it in the discussion in Chapter 6 (pg 128 specifically).
Personally, I usually let them dry out pretty good before chopping. Not to wilting but, the soil is usually pretty dry when I do chop.
Lots of ppl like FF Ocean Forest for sure.. but I have never ever used it personally so I can't really say much more than 'I've heard it's good'. Seems to have lots of good ingredients in it.
As for what food you'll need, I have no idea haha. It depends on so many factors, not only what strain you grow but the efficiency of the microbes in the soil, the actual availability of the nutrients included in the mix, etc. So basically, feed it if/when it needs it. When in doubt, I always use a balanced low NPK (around 5-5-5) fish based fertilizer. But again, it's impossible for me to say what you'll need until you need it, and especially in a soil that I haven't actually used myself.
Everything you need to know is right here mate.
What they said. Lol.
I do not condone Boveda packs though. If stored properly, you won't need them. Plus, there are numerous anecdotal reports that Boveda packs eventually cause a loss in terpene content and change the taste of the buds.. I can't really say myself as I don't use them (or haven't in a very long time) but yeah. Just what I've heard.
If I DO need to re-hydrate for any reason, I will use a piece of terra cotta soaked in water (they're sold commercially as 'Brown Sugar Bears' - I just smash up a terra cotta saucer into pieces) and leave it in there for a few hours. Works great.
But I digress... definitely give the guide a read. Should be good to go after that, lol.
I should be ok without the packs
For thousands of years there was no Packs and it did work 😉
I like them but trying out with a bigger amount is ahead.
Will try both one Jar with and without.
