ok im off to get 3 gallon pots today. ttyl.
k the pots i got are not quite 3 gallons but they should work. they are friggin huge i donno what im gonna do i wont be able to fit them all on the bottom i think ill have to do some major reorganizing tonight and re make my closet ill post picks when im all done.
k i finished changing my closet around. i was able to fit 7 pots but i had to put 1 up top but i figure there will probably be at least 1 male ill have to remove. then they will alll fit. i have 1 2600 lumens cfl and i am using my smaller old cfl's. will this set up work for flowering? or should i buy a few more 2600 lumens cfl's and get rid of the rest? im gonna let the plants adjust to the transplant for a day or so then im gonna change to 12 and 12. within a week ill post some good up close picks of all my plants numbered and u all can tell me what they are male or female? cause i have to get rid of the males pretty quick i read. does anyone have a guess on what my yield will be per plant. i realize it would only be a guess. and is there anything else im forgettin about?? any tips or opinions or feedback would be great. thanks for all the help.
k here are my first 4 plants the pots are numbered in case u can tell the sex of any of them. and i have 2 more 2700 lumens cfl's on order they will be here on thurs. ill put my other 4 plants in the next reply.
k here are numbers 5 - 8 i took a second picture of plant 8 cause it split from the stem but i think its a male. and i just started giving nutes again 1 time every 2 or 3 days. just so i dont nute burn again. k here are all my pics tell me what u all think.
k its day 5 flowering. all my babies are still lookin good but they havent changed much so im not gonna take any new picks i think illl wait a few more days. but im hopin ill be able to tell the sex soon cause i dont want to leave the males in too long cause it might wreck the whole batch. and that would just be depressing to not get any smoke from all this work. just cause its come so far and im so close. anyhow ttyl.
I think that if you want your plants to have big dense buds, you're going to need an HPS or MH bulb. I started like you; tons of cool blue bulbs. After getting the clones on their feet I realized I needed a lot more light. At 6 bucks a piece, buying say 6 or 8, you're going to start wishing you could take back the bulbs and buy yourself a little more worthy light set up. Don't get me wrong, you're plants look great for what you have, but don't forget you're trying to get something from the plant. Check Ebay, you'll be surprised.
ya i know what u mean but the thing is i did by some mh bulbs that put out 2650 lumens but when i pluged them in they made the temp jump from 30.c to 41.c in no time even with the fan on. what can i do?
my mistake they are halogena bulbs and im gonna try to make some sort of heat shield out of a sheet of glass for these bulbs ill let u know tonight how it works out and ill post some new picks soon.
k here are some new picks. first is my new closet set up. and the other 4 are my plants numbered from 1 to 4 can u tell any sex?
k here hare my plants numbers 5 - 8. can u tell me any sex? i took 2 picks of the last one.
I can't tell anything defo yet. #4 lools kinda girly, but only kinda - so far. Earliest I've seen it show was 6 days after light change, 7-10 days is par, and boys tend to show first.
k thanks man ill post more pics in like 5 days or so.
123
k my plants have grown alot in the last few days like over an inch a day and i think 3 are starting to get flowers i have taken 2 pictures of each plant and i will post em up for u all tell me what u think. pants 1 and 2
3 and 4
plants 5 and 6
plants 7 and 8. and how long do i have before i need to seperate the males from the females. im gonna try to make hash from the males. lol
7 a boy, defo. Kill quickly.
That big ball on the top of #4 looks dangerously boyish. Girls don't (usually) form a button like that till after flowers start. Ditto #5. But can't see balls.
The rest can't tell yet for sure(good sign), but looking kinda girly.
my grows have taught me that you can spot a female immediately. Too often I've stared at little pod things for days that I can't definitively say are male balls. then it turns out that they always are male. it seems like you see those white pistils shoot out before you see anything else that could be construed as a preflower
i spoted some white hairs on 2 of my plants today at lunch. so im pretty sure there females. but ill post so me pics tonight just to be sure. oh and i killed plant number 7 last night cause it was male. i tried makin some hash out of him but i dont think i did it right or there just wasent enough plant to make anything out of.
k here are the pics of plants 1 - 4 im pretty sure 4 is a female for sure. tell me if u can spot anything else.
k here are plants 5, 6, and 8. im pretty sure 5 is a girl too. tell me what u think.
#1 boy
#2 boy
#3 can't tell
#4 can't tell, not clear enough
#5 girl
#6 girl? (blurry calyx)
#8 girl? (I see one hair)
k 1 and 2 are gone but i was thinkin about tryin to make hash out of em. but i tried mekin hash out of my last male but i didnt get anything out of the plant. i tried usin the blender method to seperate the plant matter but it didnt work. is it even worth makin hash out of 2 male plants? or do u need like 20 to make it worth wile?
Only thing males are good for is making jizz. If you happen to like the taste of cannabis jizz...Quote:

Males are useless for hash production, and just about useless for oil production.
k out of my 8 plants 3 werre males and are already gone and the other 5 are for sure females cause i can see white hairs on all of them. here are 2 picks of my best 2 girls at this point. 1 is number 4 and the other is number 5 its just great. i can see flowers and its day 15 for 12 and 12. im not sure how long im gonna flower for. i must do some reserch to find out when the best time to harvest is and how to identify that on the plant.take a look and tell me what u all think? any advice is much apreciated. im off to smoke some shity weed right now. but i really cant wait to try out this white widow. they say it is some pretty potent stuff. and it will be nice to know that my weed dont have any chemicals in it and that it is all natural. i will still keep u all posted threw the holidays. chow.
Congraaats. Looks like your light gets a little too close to the plants like mine (I can see the burn on the leaf, haha). I hate when that shit happens but they grow so fast over night I have to move them up everyday.
k here are some picks of the closet. i got 5 plants in there 2 are a bit taller than the rest. i have 6 2700 lumens cfl's. should i be gettin a few more lights? i plan on gettin a hps. after this grow and i plan on gettin rid of the tinfoil after this grow too. but for now cfl's will do. i also have been given them nutes every second day. should i be giving them more? any other things i should be worryin about?
Is that a mirror on the side? If so, I'm assuming it's for viewing purposes, not light. Because it's only reflecting an image of the bulb, not the light from that bulb. (check your high school physics book)
Otherwise, looking good!
there is no mirror in there whatsoever it just looks like that. but thanks anyhow. roughly how many days does everyone think i should flower for?
Can I ask what kind of sockets those are that you can just plug in directly to an outlet with the bulb connected right to it? In this case you have the two fixtures which screw into one fixture, and then you have that plugged into that cord. Thanks.

No way to tell your pistils start turning brown. This can be anywhen from 3 to 12 weeks. Most varieties have flowering periods of around 8 weeks.
k my plants seem like there doin good the two that were doin best before are really doinn good now. does that mean i might have to harvest them two first and wait a week or so for the rest? and this may seem silly but. if i just wanted to try 1 little bud would that be stupid? or would it not bother the plant any? just cause i am curious at to how much better this white widow plant is gonna be compared to the weed around here? (not very good weed)
thanks all and i plan on postin new picks tomoro.
I am SO impressed with this grow dude. PROPS to you. I cant believe it was done with all CFL's. Get a HIGH Pressure Sodium next time for the next grow and you'll probably mess yourself when you see how much MORE bud and growth you'll get. ;)
-Keep Tokin'
C.S.
thanks alot completly stoned. its nice to hear someone say that im doin good. there is defanitly some things i will change in between grows. k here are some picks from this mornin the 1 is a pick of my good plant there is a second plant doin equally as good. 2 is a pick of the other 3 wich looks like they got off to a bit of a slow start. and the third is of my set up. i put 7 seeds of purple power in a tuperwear container last night. im gonna get them started while my white widow finishes flowering. ill probably flower the 2 best white widow for 3 more weeks. and the other 3 a bit longer. wat u all think? and another question. the 3 that aree growin slower are seem quite bushy would it be a good idea to do some light leaf prunning to let more light get into the plant? k thanks ttyl
on my first grow i tried one of the buds. it got me a little bit high, but you should just let it grow til it's ready. i suppose if you dried it out and then smoked it, it might get you higher. mine were smoked mostly wet.
you'll be much happier with them when they're ready.
k here i have 2 pics of my 1 plant it has started getting some brown hairs in the bud. what does this mean? does it mean that it started maturing faster? and i should think about drying soon? im really not too sure. tell me what u all think. or maybe this is natural. i dont know.
k i decided i am defanitly goin to by an hps light. im just wonderin how hard it is to wire up? cause im not exactly a genious that's why i stayed with cfl's there simple and easy. can i just wire the hps up to an extention cord? cause i dont have many plugs in my house. and im also worried about the heat it's gonna put out. i have already been funnin into heat problems in my closet but it seems to be doin alright never the less.
k its flowering day 29 and damn my lovely ladies are lookin gorgeous in these pics hope u like em. my 2 biggest ones are lookin great. and my other 3 all seam to be catchin up to them a bit. i am so excited to smoke this shit.
