I didn't get my seeds until December so got started late. They are currently healthy vegging. I tried to germinate 15 seeds. 2 of them didn't pop, and a couple more didn't live long after sprouting. There were also a couple runts I removed after vegging a few weeks, which left me with 9 plants. My experience with runts is that they are not worth the time/money. 5 of them have shown female recently so at least that many are going to start flowering soon.
I've been building a new RDWC system for this grow. I haven't done DWC in many years so wish me luck! I have been using Pro Mix or my own mix of 1:1:1 peat moss, vermiculite and perlite for years, but it is a lot of work lifting/hauling all that and I ain't getting any stronger as I age. The G13Widow have been vegging in that mix but plan to transfer females to the new RDWC system.
The first few weeks they spent under an LED panel that is just a couple hundred watts. They are now under a 1000w double ended HPS. I will use 2 or 3 of the 1000w HPS for flowering. I have them trained in a manifold growth pattern so they didn't look very good after all the trimming, but they are starting to look good again. I still need to take cuttings from some of them so the plants may not all have the same number of colas.
