White Rhino growlog

Nice... sounds like a really great grow. So fimming is pretty much topping, but with the cut in a different place right?

You've done a fantastic job so far!! Keep it up, and congrats

Yeah, it's like topping, but u only trim off the grow tips. When i did it, mine split into 4 tops, and then cause of stunting the growth, the 2 branches below the top caught up with the 4 tops and grew an even canopy(just short of 6' tall).

hehe nice one, I will have to try that - i've never done topping either, just LST so far.

Below is the information from the site I purchased white rhino:

White Rhino is our version of a decidedly good White Widow cross. This plant has heritage of Afghan, Brazilian and Indian. White Rhino is good for medicinal use because of its high THC content. The taste of this smoke is sweet and slightly heavy, a good bong smoke. Watch the maturing phase closely. After the flowers mature, wait for the onset of white crystals which will cover the flowers, in about 2 weeks, then harvest.

So, does that mean as soon as crystals show up, harvest 2 weeks later?

I understand it to mean once bud are amber (usually harvest time), wait until the white crystals appear then harvest. I will send an e-mail to the vendor to see if this is true.

u have a sweet lookin garden old blue, im in the middle of growing a cross between white rhino and white russian( if anyone knows the name that would be nice

) and they're about 1 foot high and just about as wide(i top them) and was wondering if the same thing would happen to me with the whole hieght thing once you make them flower.. should i go to 12-12 right away or? its my first time growing the strain and was thinking of gowing to 12-12 when they got to 16 inches.

Great garden btw!

Hey Kush, thanks for the compliments. And i'm not sure, i guess it depends on the pheno u have. Like i said in earlier posts, i vegged mine for 4 weeks, to 8", and then flipped to 12/12 and they shot up to almost 6'!

kushman44 · Jan 28, 2009

sorry what do you mean by white crystals? do you mean the thc glands, called trichomes? these are what we look at magnified to determine harvest time. they go through clear to cloudy/milky to amber. Most people tend to harvest when they see a lot of amber, but if you prefer a more head high rather than couch-lock stoned then harvest when there are fewer amber and more cloudy.

The time is near, my friends! She's at the end of week 7 today and is completely cloudy. I usually harvest at mostly cloudy/ slightly clear trichs, but this time i'm gonna let her go til week 8, to get a few amber trichs in there to make her a lil stronger. I flushed her again a few days ago, and have been adding 1/2 - 1 gal of straight RO water with some carboload everyday. Today she had a ppm of 80, so most of her nutes are flushed or used up. I can't stop going in her tent to look at her! lol. This will be my biggest yield for a single plant yet. I can't wait. Send some green mojo my way for a big yield. :hubba:

BTW, since she has a ton of lil popcorn buds and shoots towards the bottom, i decided i'm gonna try to reveg her after harvest and see if i can pull off what "puffinafatty" did with "snow white". ;-)

GREEN MOJO, GREEN MOJO, GREEN MOJO.
those buds are looking fantastic, gl with the re veg:48:

old blue · Feb 3, 2009

Ok, i chopped my big rhino down today. Her roots got too big, so i decided to not try to reveg her. Woulda been too much of a pain in the a**. So, the final wet weight from her is 780 grams. And that's after trimming away as much branch material as i could. So, i'm hoping to get a dry weight of around 5 1/2-6 ozs. :hubba: Ok, now some bud porn for u guys.
