That's the question!

First grow. A White Dwarf if anyone knows their normal finishing height. Do these plants grow mostly early or kind of steadily through most of the cycle? I've seen it said mostly pertaining to photos that the plant will double during bloom. In an AN post Mr Muddy has said:

Weeks 4 - 6. The plants are now entering a pre flowering stage. During this time the plants should exhibit explosive growth, often as much as a new set of nodes and 1" vertical growth a day. This is the time when they will gain most of their vertical height. Many people make the mistake of switching from vegetative to flowering nutrients at this point, assuming that since they see flowers it must be the proper time. This is incorrect. If the switch to flowering nutes is made at this time the vertical growth will stop and the plant will put it's energy into producing buds. If you need to keep your plants small, or want them to finish earlier, they by all means switch nutes at this point. But if you want to get the most out of your plants continue feeding vegetative nutes until you see the vertical growth slow and stop. Depending on the strain that will usually be sometime during week 5 or 6.

This referring an 11 week grow which mine probably is not. Trying to fathom what's before my eyes.
 
I used this thread many times, it explains everything very clearly thanks to Muddy

Nm I just read your post closer and you already found it lol

That's a general guideline but it varies with each strain, grower, medium, lights etc. One of your best bet would be to try and find a white dwarf journal and or someone who has a similar set up as yours

Happy growing turtle

:peace:

The journals I've seen have not mentioned growth believe it or not. And while many breeders list expected height Buddha does not at least with this one.
 
Most dwarf strains will generally end up at about 12-18". Depending on conditions/strain they could get up to 24-30".

I generally see week 1-3 very little growth from sprout to 2-3 inches, week 4-6/7 fast vertical growth mostly up to max height, week 7-12 still anther 1-3 inches growth with heavy flowering.

I would call this gospel but it's close for most small to medium sized autos.
 
I don't know who pop22 is, but so far he likes this. I don't want to piss him off (her?)

Weeks 7-12? It calls for a 60 some odd day duration, of course could be more. Isn't 12 weeks a long one?
 
Most times listed by seed banks assume near perfect conditions (light, environment & nutrition) ... most grows take up to a month longer depending on how close to perfect your conditions are ...
 
12 weeks is much longer than most seed banks will call for but many auto, when grown in large enough containers can go that long.

Liking a post just means that you agree with it nothing to worry about.

This is golden :grin:gave me a good chuckle

Their are 3 known pheno's for that strain.


Known Phenotypes:

1.: short, compact, indica-dominant Phenotype #1
2.: short, compact, indica-dominant Phenotype #2
3.: long, stretched, indica-dominant Phenotype

Grow it out and see :thumbs:

Should be short and compact with adequate lighting. Good luck. :peace:


Edit - wow, those are awesome little girls. I need to get some! They all look small and compact.

I don't see that one going past 10 weeks by any normal means.

This one sure ain't the long stretchy type. 16 days in it's twice as wide as high, and it's not that high.
