So you have grown BB b4? I have many Q's then. What kinda light did you grow/bloom with? Got any pix of the crop, so I know what to expect?

Expect a 2 - 3X stretch. If your plants are still stretching then i would say you have a heat problem or you light are too far away... WW shouldn't stretch more that 3X. Try adding blue to the spectrum for the first 4 weeks of flowering.

Ooohhh... maybe i should have read more... Big bud is cool if you in it to make money... not to be condecending...

Whats w/the taste? I have never smoked BB, Let alone grown it...lol

I grew my BB/NL organically in soil, in a five gallon bucket...and this was also about 3-4 years ago. Only had one female, but she definitely lived up to her name. I was exaggerating a little bit about the diameter of the main cola, although I've seen some pretty unbelievable pictures of monsterous buds grown outdoors. My main bud was roughly the diameter of my foot, and needed to be staked up.

I have a few Polaroids of some of my older grows, there might be some pictures of it lying around. If there are, I'll scan them onto my computer for you to look at. But I guarantee the quality will be shitty.

At the time I was using a 600w HPS system, and didn't have a conversion MH bulb yet...so mine was probably a little taller & lankier than it needed to be. If you have the means, I'm sure a MH for veg would keep it nice and squat in stature before you flowered it. Mine seemed to love the HPS in flower, though. Bushes of pistils quickly surrounded the main stem, and later got covered in a dense resin. It had a pretty 'hashy' taste to it when I smoked it, and was a full-blown narcotic high. Put me to sleep a couple of times.

I can't remember exactly how much I yielded off the one plant, I know it wasn't at its potential because of the stretching. I'd guesstimate that it was around 90-100g, dried, though...which was acceptable to me. Can't really think of anything in particular about the grow that stumped me, it was a pretty easy plant to work with.

Good luck with yours! :jointsmile:

Sorry, but I've been forbidden from posting pics. I really wanted to share though :-( Your Widows look good for their age. Mine were actually stunted a bit cuz I left them in the humidity dome for too long. This is a very resilient strain though as they are healthy beautiful plants now-I'd def recommend WW to novice growers, but beware their height-keep them small if you have limited space. BTW I hope that's not your permanent setup, cuz those post you have them in are WAY too fucking small. You need to transplant them into 3 or even 5 gallon buckets. Good luck, and please keep posting pics. I'm curious as to what to look for in the pre-flowering stages. Much love.

yeah, they are all in 2gals right now, and I might not upgrade, maybe just let em veg a little longer and then bloom em....My new light should be here soon too, 400w HPS/MH Conversion w/ballast and hood...got a good deal

So you want small little plants who's roots can't breath? Remeber 1 gallon+ for every month of growing. Sooo.... minimum pot size should be 3 gallons for SOG and 5 gallon for bigger plants.
Small root system = small yeild.... why do you think hydro is so good?
