WOW :D you got some fine looking females now dont cha. thanks for stopping by my log. how are the trichs looking lately? when they start turning amber and are all cloudy is when i usually harvest. i waited to long on my last one and it really dropped potentcy overall.
Thanks Irie,
Yeh that is what I am worried about ,waiting to long. How long did you wait for the one where you lost potantcy?
i waited so long all the tops were amber and getting nanners. as soon as i saw the nanners i knew they were a week or two overdone.
Thanks again Irie,
I just started a thread in basic growing to get a quick answer from Stinky and sorts.
Also thanks for checking in Zeb and Smoky3 and for the kind comments.
Hey Jerry...could you please post some higher quality pix of that WW's top??? it would be so good to see it more detailed....:stoned:
Zeb,
Sorry all I got is a cell phone camera currently.
Well at this point of the grow I think I am going to start doi something everyone will enjoy:)
Plant of the Day!
I figure I have 9 plants = 9 days
And when the overwhelming response was let them go till first sign of amber trics. Well by the looks of things that is a ways away.
So here are tonights pics. But first are the stats.
Strain: THC Bomb
Source: Gifted from fellow grower that does not cloan. He polinates a female when he needs more seeds.
Age: 7 weeks
Hight: 29''
Width: ? explain later
Largest Cola Width: 2.75''
XXL Cola's: 4
XL Colas: 8
Notes: This is the first grow for this strain and looks very impressive. But when you look closer I am not sure about this female (have 2 more).The buds look huge but are very airy and not much tric production yet (compaired to other strains)
This strain looks like a long bloomer so ripening my not have kicked in yet. Reason I say that is after 7 weeks of flower she is producing pistols like week 4 still.
Next this strain needs space. All females are bushes and want to spred out. I have limited room so I had to put 4 long stakes in the dirt and rap a wire around them to keep all of them compact.
Well enjoy:)
Well todays Plant of the Day is W/W #4
Stats,
Source: Amsterdamseeds.nl
Age: 8 weeks into flower
Hight: 41''
Width: 20''
Largest cola width: 2''
XXL Colas: 4
XL Colas: 9
Notes: This again is one of the plants that moma got nute burn last grow and did not perform well in fact nothing like this one.
This Widow is pretty much the opposite of W/W #9. This one seems more sativa dominant judging by the growth and buds. She is the tallest plant this grow and the buds are smaller and dencer than #9 but there are a hell of a lot of them.
She is still producing pistols but slowing down most are red, and the trics are 70/30 clear/cloudy.
Sorry last pic is not of the plant, the full plant shot and can't remove it.
Well sorry I am a day behind so you will get double your plant of the day pics today!
Well this is W/W #6. I don't know why all my widows are completely different looking except that seeds from Amsterdamseeds.nl are from an unstablized strain. No complaints about the quality of the high but if I am paying over $75.00 for seeds I would expect a stabilized seed stock. Meaning the plants will look very close to the same. So this leaves open the question. Am I getting exactly what I orderd?
I remember Oppi Yutes talking about this subject and beware of most seed banks overseas.
Well onto the Stats.
Strain: White Widow
Source: Amsterdamseeds.nl
Hight: 26''
Width: Unknown / very bushy had to be coralled for space.
Largest Cola Width: 1.75''
XXL Colas: 0
XL Colas: 20+
Notes: As I was saying this widow is completely opposite widow #9. This one the buds are small but extremely abundant, buds are covered with trics and look very good more sativa dominant.
The plant is growing like a shrub. Branches every which way as you can see in the pics.
Well here they are.
Wow...this one looks real resinous, so far this is my favorite...yesterdays ww4 is a real beauty too...nice work man...:thumbsup:
Well here is todays plant of the day THCB #1.
Stats:
Source: Gifted
Hight: 26''
Width: Unknown, Did same as #4
Largest Cola Width: 2''
XXL Colas: 4
XL Colas: 9
Week into flower: 8.5
Notes: This is a nice plant, Smaller than THCB#3 but the buds are tighter and forming trics noticeabley daily:)
Can't wait to see these ripen they are going to be heavyweights.
Zeb,
Thanks, my favoite is WW #9 she is covered in trics now and putting on serious weight. I wouldn't be surprised if the XXL colas weigh close to an ounce each.
and your grow is going fantastic, JG. I can't wait to see the finale.
Shov
Thanks Shov,
And I can't wait for harvest either. In fact coming soon to a computer near you!
"Garcia's 2nd Harvest"
Thanks again!
JG.
Well this plant of the day is Mystery #1.
The only thing that makes her a mystery is some stoned MF forgot to label the pot when putting the cloan in soil. Namely Me.
Well here are the stats.
Well some stoned MF forgot to take measurements before going back in the box. But I can tell you she is the second tallest.

You have definately taken your op much more seriously than I... and, it shows!!! Amazing stuff man! I have been busy with new "career" so my time in the garden has been limited, here are a few pics of what has been going on in the last few months...(cant even find my own old posts, yikes!)
Pic 1 - this is where I left off, 3 about to be cut down, 3 just transplanted in 5 gal bucks!
Pic 2 - random bag seed for fun...
Pics 3, 4 & 5 - most of the flower cabinet with 9 total (2 x 8 x 7 - 2 400w hps, 1 250w mh)
Here are some recent pics of mystery plant #8.
This plant is a true mystery and I want to solicite your help in identifing her.
Unfortunatly I can't capture this description with my cell phone camera but I am going to do my best to describe it.
Well to start this plant produces white, purple, and white purple pistols. Now when I use the loupe I can see purple cylexes deep in the buds. She has always been a very dark green compaired to the other plants.
She is also a heavy resin producer as you can see in the pics. Also she is at the start of week 9 of flower.
Buchie,
Very nice grow you have going. You are right I have taken MJ growing seriously and it is starting to show, I have always wanted to do this, just to see how well I could do it. The biggest problem I have now is I was planning on a 8 to 9 week flower cycle and that just passed on my youngest plants the oldest is about to start week 11 and still producing flowers. The issue is I have summer grow cloanes with nowhere to go untill the babies are harvested and this extra time is throwing everything out of sinc.
looking great dude. real interested in what kinda yeilds you are gonna end up with, do you think you are gonna do better in that area this time with more experience, they look huge now. i gotta look into your nute schedule.
Deaner,
Thanks for checking in.
How much more or less am do I think I am going to yeild this grow over last?
To be honest 50% to 100% more. I harvested way to early last grow due to needing to recoupe expences and inexperiance. My biggest problem last grow was not watering properly and over nuting, causing nute lock. Now that I got a good nute and watering schedule down and can afford to buy $100.00 of FF products.
To be honest, the first grow is a MF on the wallet, after harvest though, that all changes.:)
Then you can take your time letting the plant get to its maxium potential, and get anything you need when you need it.
And it shows this grow.
I think there is even a possiablity I may even get over 2lbs out of 9 plants this grow. I should know that answer in about a month :)
Well lights On!
Time to go pick the Plant Of the Day:)
Well last night was watering night and I decided to do a group pic again this week.
All the plants are putting on weight and would be falling over without support rods. I have been using 24'' hard steel rods used to hold insulation in place and tie wraps to support the weight of the colas. Has been working great so far.
Well here are the pics.
wow those pics got me drooling :jointsmile:. those are some fat ladies and they should be singing any day now. how long til harvest? i hope to get even one plant to look like yours cause theyre beautiful. great work JG it shows.
stay irie
Your plants are beautiful keep it up:thumbsup:
Damn! That's a shower I would love to be in with all those Gurls! Super Job,Dawg!:thumbsup:Quote:

Harvest her or wait?
She is 72 days into flower, trics are about 50/50, No amber! She is still producing pistols, and is extreamly covered in resin.
Take a look at the pics and give me your opinion. Any and all are welcome.
GaGrown, Thanks for the rep. I am very proud of this grow and so close to reaping the bounty. :)
Hydro, I've seen your log you are on your way to this:)
Irie thanks for stopping by and comments
Now please give your opinions.

I forgot to mention... Wait till you see about 10 percent amber. So it may take up to another week for that.You've done so good to have waited this long... Patience!:thumbsup:
GaGrown,
Thanks for you input. I was planning to let her go untill Thursday min before going in the dark for 3 days. Also the plants ages vaey over 3 weeks the youngest is 8.5 weeks into flower. Currently only 2 are in week 11.
Hennassy, yest all you see is bud! I prune 80% of the fan leaves in week 4 to let light penetrate the canopy and reach the lower buds. As you can see the results.
Thanks, keep the opinions coming.
This my other plant that is currently at 71 days into flower.
She is a heavyweight:) The cola's are huge and would fall over without support rods.
This plant is still growing, and the trics are 60/40 clear/cloudy with No amber.
I am currently smoking mom and she is a wonderful relaxed heady buzz.
Well here are the pics of her and let me know your opinions.
This plant is looking more delicious everyday :)
This is the plant that was producing the purple pistols and could see purple cylex's deep in the buds. Well now the outer cylex's are turning purple now!! And she also a very heavy resin producer also.
I have never seen anything like this except as the centerfold of High Times.
The pics came out close to the true color so see what I mean!
Looks ridiculous, love the color. Nice grow.
oh my goodness im almost tempted to send you my digicam just to get some nice macro shots of those buds. i hope you have some clones from that mystery plant since its a beauty and beast in one. you buds are truely impressive and and inspiration for me.
man i cant over the colors of the colas.
I went back to the web site where I got the seeds ( by the way I was wrong on the address in previous posts the correct address is amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com) and went thru their varieties and found PURPLE POWER was a match
So from now on she will be known as Purple Power #8 (PP 8)
Irie yes I do have cloans going of her and 2 mothers. I kept a mother of every plant untill I see every plants qualities after 2 grows. I plan on 2 W/W, all Mystery, PP8, Blueberry. I also have 5 seeds left of the mystery :) so I need to grow them sometime soon.
ok so i guess we all want to order some of that purple power strain, looks incredible. send it in to hightimes, it may end up in there, i guess not with the camera phone. cant wait to hear the smoke review on that one, big and sexy, my kinda girl!
I love those colas, JG. Should be some great smoke, man.
Shov
Well this baby is unfortunatly looking like a lamb in wolfs clothing. She appears to be a monster as you can see in the pic with the Tiger Bloom (used as a reference to the size of the colas) but they are very fluffy, plus resin production is ok but no where close to the other strains. She is still young so there is still time. Also I don't want to discourage this strain becase THCB #1 looks like the one that is going to be the mother of this strain, you will see when her day comes.
She does make for great pics though.
Dude they are some bad ass plants there. :D
Shovel and Sharkfins,
Thanks for checking in!!
I think within the next week the reaping will begin:) as they mature so stay tuned.
Well tonights POD is my tallest by far at 41'' to top of soil, She kind of grew weird, 4 colas streched like crazy then the bottom just bushed out at 30'' close to the rest of the crop.
She seems to be going into another flowering, in the last couple days new pistiol's have covered all the buds, which are very thight and heavy. The best size description is a ping pong ball, or a very large thumb (double the size of mine).
Opps got a pic of my trip to Vail in there, ahhh WTF its a good one so I left it in.
