Tempting Fate ................

[gin4dub]

I reiterate Mand, everything is going to come together for you cher. Looking at your pictures its apparent that your babies are getting their attitudes corrected and coming about quite nicely. Keep doing what you're doing.

wassup mand jus droppen by show some support safe growen!

[Kush Over]

...All the new growth since my little temper tantrum with them seems to be coming along clear and if they carry on behaving then I should be "pinching them in about a weeks time..

Yes, they do look a little better now than prior to you cleaning them up. Great job, Mand. You're making a believer out of me.

I see you also mentioned something about pinching, which was the most immediate thing to catch my attention. I hope they shape up in the way you intend so you can do just that -- the pinching I mean.

..The first pic just shows a little oddity the grouping has eleven leaves, I've never had that before, also the last pic is the little runt that seems to be "picking up" a bit ................. well at least she is holding her own ..

Yes, that is a little oddity, but nothing to worry about. Consider those extra leaves an advantage to those plants without them; they provide that much more photosynthetic potential to the plant.

And the runt! Every runt that I've ever had turned out to be a very healthy female in the end, so I wish the same for you.

Hello gin4dub Thankyou ........................... I don't like to say anything and tempt fate but the discolouration seems to have stopped.
I also must say that I do like these seeds (Dutch Passion), if this lots goes on ok then I will try some more next time. I'll see if they have any Durban Poision or Afghani


Hello SkillzRemix well at my age I need all the support I can get .................. you know gravity always wins in the end

Take no notice love, just my attempt at a bit of late night humor

Thanks love nice to hear from you




Hello Kush Yes I think I'll let them grow one more node each and then pinch them. After I'll just see how they go for a while and then induce them.

To be honest I wanted to give his grow a long vegitive growth and maybe give them a couple of pinchings/toppings. However I think I may get them to flowering a bit sooner. I'm affraid the "decent bud" situation here is starting to look a bit low . I have plenty of forced dried resinous leaves and small buds, they are adequately potent but they are also "eerrgghh" to smoke ............... very harsh. It looks like I might have to cut down the time on the veggitive growth.

The funny leaves, there healthy enough so it's fine. It does look wierd though it has eight leaves and then three more underneath.
Isn't that just true about the runts, they are always female, I can't actually remember every having one a boy.
You know a few days ago I nearly trew her out because she looked so poorly, but now she's really looking ok .................. still very small but ok




Hello Hungry I hope you're right , I really fancy a different smoke for a change. Just lately all I ever seem to grow is Sensi Skunk or Skunk#1.
Also I had to abandon the last grow and the one before that wasn't very good quantity wise, so something half decent would be nice this time




Thanks guys ....................... love mand xxx

oh mand you poor thing
Having to smoke forced dried small buds & leaves no matter how resinous is not nice! surprised there's not been any offers to send you some quality budz.
Guess i'm just old fashioned in thinking romantic proposals should be sent with flowers from all your suitors on here

Glad to know your babes have picked up a liittle :thumbsup: the quicker these WW are flowered the sooner you can start something new.
Varitey is the spice of life & weed is it's herb. :smokin:

Take care mand, hope the smoke situation picks up soon.

Hello mand, first off I would like to tell you that your plants look very healthy and I would love to have the very same ones. However, I have 4 Nirvana white widow growing right now. I was just curious, have you had any of the stems turn purple on you yet? Mine started at the bottom of the plant and is now just shoprt of turning all of my leaves a nice light hugh purple. Have you noticed anything like this on yours?

Good luck on keeping those babies alive! And I would go with pinching/topping your plants at least twice before they go outdoors, I always found it beneficial.

hey mand iam back, lol

Hello alchemiser I know they are quite horrible to smoke . I always take all the small buds that aren't worth hanging up to dry and the resinous leaves, cut them up and place them on top of the ballast in a cardboard shoe box to dry them. They usually dry within 2-4 days (depending on the amount), but they really are eerrgghhh to smoke .

Eeeerrrr "Romantic proposals" , that reminds I have a wedding to go too in June. After the experience of my own marriage I have a little bit of a phobia about the whole thing. It offically ended over fourteen years ago but I still cringe to think about it



Hello MEME , No I've not had any purple stems, I had the problem of discolouration and the dying off last week but I hope that little problem is cured now (fingers crossed it is ).

Oh there not going outdoors, I will just put the HPS bulb in there when it comes to inducing flowering.
Although I will only pinch them once, I would really like the time to be able to do it a few times and make them more into a "bush" effect. However due to the bud situation I have been forced to make this grow a bit quicker than I would have liked too .


Hello Mobay Thankyou for stopping by, it's always very nice to hear from you






Update ................. well the camera has come back early so I'll just upload a couple of pics.
The health of the plants has improved no end, there not perfect but they are ok and I'm happy enough with them.
They will be four weeks old tomorrow and they would look a bit better if I hadn't had been forced to remove so many of the dying leaves

The heater has been put back on as well due to the temperature dropping again, we have had a couple of frosts the last few nights.

Hey Mand, It looks as my box might actually work after all I was surprised but that means more grows to come hopefully I also managed to repot 5 out of 8 I'm on a roll I'm actually taking care of them and not giving up as I thought I was going too I thought they were gona get root bound but when I repotted the 5 none of them showed the roots on the sides only a little at the bottom. That just goes to show "me" how the CFLs compare to the MH, my last grow at this time I was already a few days into flowering but I'm going to give them maybe a week or 2 untill I go into flower Just some insight on my grow hope u dont mind Anyways Mand all is going well for you which I just read except for the shortage on the stash but dont worry ur nice buds should be here in now time
So are you going to do another Dutch Passion seeds grow or are you throwing in those White Widows for the next 1?:thumbsup:
