Rep Power: 62 | | girls at eight weeks
At last I was able to post some pictures. The girls are eight weeks old and in the forth week of flowering. I am using four t5 four foot lamps 2700 k and two 40 watt cfls 2700k. I am watering with guano tea and molasses. This is my first grow and not sure if the plants and buds should be bigger? Also there is no smell at all and when will they start smelling? There are two bag seed and two white widows. jpg 005 and 007 are bag seed
jpg 010 and 016 are w.w Disclaimer:everything I say/do on this website is fictional.

I'm with DieAbetic about those buds and also agree with the rest of his statement. I just want to add that I harvested a couple of WW this last season and let em go until the very end, I had pollenated them. I also fed them Earth Juice catalyst and Earth Juice bloom daily for the last three weeks of the grow.It was an organic grow. The smell was that of an ornamental flower and the smoke was some of the smoothest I had ever had. It's that two taste weed. Taste different on the inhale/exhale.

also my advice would be to keep all the heads at the same level and keep the lights as close as possible without burning as u wont get much depth from cfl,s.... im using the 125w enviros, i got 3 in my grow room and they work over a distance of about 10 inches best.. anymore and they loose lots of there effectiveness... u should still see some great results tho.. just keep the light close as poss.. | | The Following User Says Thank You to urbanfunk For This Useful Post: | |

I used two pruning techniques. Two of the plants were pruned with the fim method and one with removing the entire top not half like the fim method and one was not pruned. All pictures are marked to which method was used.
from left to right, bag seed "fim", white widow regular, white widow none, bag seed "fim"

Nice set of plants man... Look forward to see how they turn out..
i topped al mine but just pinched out the very top set... i got minimum of 4 big heads on one and the other 2 have to many to count..lol Im using LST method to keep them all very short during veg will let them stretch during the flowering a bit but will keep gently training up till about week 3 flowering i should think.. Come check my thread. uk cheese 375w cuboard grow |
