An Off-Grid Outdoors White Widow and Grizzly Purple Grow:
Growing for medical consumption is not something new in the marijuana industry. Some people have various reasons for doing so. It can save them a lot of money, give them a lot of supplies, or even find new strains to help with their conditions.
When HighDesertFarmer ran out of medicines, otherwise known as marijuana buds, he took it as a perfect opportunity to grow his own. It started out as something to soothe his pain, but as it progressed, there were a lot of things that he learned. Heck, he was even able to invent something other outdoor growers would never think off.
Lucky for this grower, he lives in an off-grid area where no one would ever know where he is doing. Still, it does not mean it is the end of all problems for this Grizzly Purple and White Widow grower.
Colorful Grow: Grizzly Purple and White Widows
Grizzly Purple
Growers and smokers alike instantly grab this strain whenever possible. With a THC level that soars up to 25%, it does not come as a surprise. Nevertheless, do not be fooled since this strain is an indica-dominant one. It lulls smokers into a sleepy, dream-like state while giving its heavily sedating high.
White Widows
Belonging in the list of the most famous strains, this perfectly balanced indica-sativa hybrid has been in circulation since the 1990s. Buds are crystal laden, as if warning of the powerful burst of euphoria and energy that is about to come.

HighDesertFarmer is no newbie when it comes to growing. This is the second attempt of growing marijuana plants, although the pattern of these type of grows is the same with his vegetable grows. For this round, “The Complete Marijuana Seed and Grow Set (Beginners)” from
ILGM would aid this grower. Each pack includes:
- 20 White Widow Autoflowering Feminized Seeds
- Bergman’s Marijuana Plant Food Fertilizers
- Bergman’s Marijuana Plant Protector
There is a left over Grizzly Purple seed from the past grow. It will be part of this round’s grow, along with the five White Widows.

These ladies would be grown outdoors. For the meantime, an affordable LED grow light would see these seedlings through until they are ready to face the outside world.

Grizzly Purple is standing tall under the light. The White Widows, on the other hand, only started popping up as of today.

Two of the five White Widows started breaking the soil. The other three’s soil remains undisrupted.
Meanwhile, the Grizzly Purple has one leaf that seems to be curling upward. It does not bother HighDesertFarmer that much since this side was hitting the side of the plastic bottle that served as its dome.

The first seedling is faring really well. The leaves continued spreading widely, although the stem appears to be a bit thin.
White widows did not take that long to sprout out of the soil, three are already out, another one is beginning too, and the last one remain unresponsive.
As for the lights, they are currently on an 18/6 schedule which he does manually at the moment. The light turns off at 11 in the evening, and then using a dimmer, it gradually brightens until 6 am.

Four White Widows are up, the other one still is a no show. It may or may not sprout at all.
The Grizzly Purple, looked quite different this morning. The serrated edges of the leaves seem to be reaching for the lights more than necessary. HighDesertFarmer takes care of it by keeping it misted while keeping the soil moist. The light, a 24-watts fluorescent T5 is about 6” away from the plant.

Apparently, the light has been sitting too close to the plant and must have been causing it stress. After raising it at least 2” higher, the Grizzly Purple seems to have recovered.

The last seedling really is damaged. While it did pop out, only a single leaf came out of it. To make up for it, two more seeds are germinating today.

HighDesertFarmer slowly introduces the sprouts to the outside world. The domes are off, and the grower maintains moisture by misting them throughout the day and dragging them under direct sunlight during noontime. To strengthen the stems, he opens the windows a little bit which hopefully does the job until the fans arrive.
The damaged one is still thriving so the grower still does not have the heart to pull it out as of now. Perhaps the quarter strength nutrients that they received might be helping.
