HELP! This is my first grow. White Widow

[ghost83]

Thanks pr
The blueberry that Im getting says its 19.5 percent THC which is pretty high in my book. I would love to try the skywalker at some point. I smoked some killer blueberry once and I am serching for that high again.
Freddys Best is by dutch seeds...its one of their genetic researchers who was the really great at his job and spent years perfecting a strain and he left the seeds for them when he retired. Was his lifes work apparently. Sounded good.

Sorry my last post was a little incorrect on the dates. Today actually starts the first day of week 4 in my girls flowering cycle. Here are a few more pictures

Nice job. Using cfl lamps are a good way to get accustomed to growing. Low heat and all. Keeps you from having to deal with issues from heat. I prefer HID lamps all the way, but have done some nice vegging with clfs. If i missed something. Sorry. I am legally blind, and cannot read all info without passing out from a headache.

Looks like you will get a nice little yield from those plants. Thanks for sharing.

Ghost -

Beautiful, Mouth-Watering, I just want to lick your leaves! (no homo)

In all seriousness, I'm medicated right now, and I would love to rub my cheek all over your plants.

Thanks low_rdr...they are starting to smell really good right now. I never thought I would even get this far.

Bitemybud...I do plan on using HPS and MH lights on my next grow. I just didnt want to put too much money into this if I couldnt succeed.

[bitemybud]

You will succeed.

Not sure if anyone was following my grow or not...but here is a quick update. I know its been awhile.

I got a little desperate for some smoke so I started to harvest plants early. I was tired of buying it at crazy prices when I had a nice stash in my closet. The final weigh in was a little less then 4oz with all the plants.

Turned out my bag seed foam mist was all fem seeds. I started to take them first since I was unsure of their genetics and thought that it was an inferior plant compaired to the white widow from nirvana. I got a little more then 2oz from all 5 of the white widow plant.

I realize that the yeild was so small as far as weight goes for three reasons.
1. I harvested too early. Even the last plants that I took were at 8 weeks when I know I should have waited until 10 weeks.
2. I used CFL bulbs. I had a lot of smoke but the weight and density was not there. By the size amount it looked like I had an ounce or two more then I actually did. The buds just werent dense enough.
3. As a rookie mistake I let them dry a few days longer then I should have. The buds dried out a little too much.

Final reflection on my product...

The smoke was great and the tricombs gave me the buzz I was looking for. More head buzz less couch lock. The only problem is that the high didnt last as long as I would have liked and I am not sure why? If anyone can enlighten me on this one I would love that...

All in all I lost out on my investment. I spent almost a grand even tho it was a cheap grow. I wasnt able to yeild enough to cover the cost of the grow. I am currently paying 200 an oz for dro (good shit) in my area. I would say that I grew about 650 dollars worth at that price. I am not selling it I just wanted to use it for myself.

The learning curve was great and I do plan to do it again soon. I have AK48 seeds from nirvana but I am waiting to move before I start this one. I still have all the equipment and I rinsed the soil out. I plan on using it again. I have done lots of research on the matter of that and found out that I can indeed use the same soil as long as it was cleaned out and rinsed.

I also learned that even tho I had nice size and good looking buds I bought a great grow light from amazon. I like the low energy and low heat of the cfl and I will use it for the veg but im going to use a hps for the flowering cycle this time.

If I had any followers...thanks for the support and I am sorry that I took so long for the update.

If there was one thing that I learned the most was more light=bigger and better plant/buds.

you answered a few of your own questions just so ya know. the reason your buzz was short lived could be from a few things but i think early harvest, overdrying them and probably didnt get a good cure maybe? that usually will do it alone.

[ghost83]

I think a lot of it was due to not enough light...i talked to my local grow shop and they think that with the lack of light i didn't produce enough oil on the plant. Live and learn i guess. I learned a ton from this grow and Im trying lots of other things to find k.y o.wn custom style and what works best for me. So far my new grow is going so much better. Thanks for your input tho i will keep all that in mind.er
