White Russian Grow Notes
I vegged for approxiamately 2 and a half months while doing LST the entire time. Once it was trained into a large bush with an even canopy, I trimmed off several lower branches and flipped to 12/12. During that veg time I simply used nothing more than the Flora series exactly as described on the bottles. The ratio was 3-2-1 (N-P-K) per gallon. No other additives were used. Very simple.

For the two-week transition period I simply did the 2-2-2 ratio for my nutrients.

After the transition period I simply switched my nutrient ratio to 1-2-3 (N-P-K) just like the Flora series says, and that's it! No other extras were added during flowering. After 8 weeks since the 12/12 flip, I flushed with plain jane water. During final two weeks there was a lot of yellowing as the plant was starving for nutrients. I added 1tbsp of molasses every second watering to give the plant a bit of energy to buds.

At 10 weeks, most of the trichomes were amber, and so I cut her down. Didn't weigh the wet weight, but after about a week and a half of drying I ended up with 3.1 oz. Dry bud smell is much like tropical fruit with a bit of fuel undertones.

This was a very simple grow, which I prefer. Pot size was 5gal and the top of the pot was topped with expanded clay to hold onto moisture better and maximize root growth. My watering schedule was something like 3 times a week: feeding, regular water, feeding. Repeat. Plant had no problems with handling that much nutes. I hand watered since it was one plant but a reservoir/drip system would work quite well for multiple plants.

So in summary, here are some points about this strain:
-very, VERY nute tolerant (used full-strength from the start and had no problems)
-very easy to clone (took about 6 days to get roots using Jiffy pucks and humidity dome)
-quite smelly even in vegetative stage. Carbon scrubber definitely needed
-edibles using these buds are honestly amazing. I used 3.3g for a brownie mix and after two brownies you're good for the whole night

White Russian is some intensely medically stuff, if you overabuse it, you'll feel depressed tho, despite being great.

Fantastic buds bro. I'm attempting my first grow on feb first. I'm getting all Feminized seeds. I'm partial to White Russian. Blueberry widow. Hash plant and cheese. Now I'm new to all this but Ima give it a shot. Going to a hydropoinics store near town. Ima use hydrofarm 400watts switchable mh/hps in a custom grow box in the closet. All 3 or 5 gal buckets w simple hydropnic system. Medium will be hydroton rocks and foxfarm nutes. Can anyone please give me some small tips. And quick question. Can I grow 4 or 6 nice size plants w te 400 watt hps?
