After topping and prunning first go.

Last round of more prunning. Geez. And I thought I'd have trouble getting them to grow, now I'm sitting here starring at a garbage bag FULL of plants and cuttings.

Next time, I'll be topping early and flowering earlier than after a month of growth.

Yes its a tragedy when the best of the plants turns out to be male.

The more you prune the more growth there will be for bud sites, and more hash come end of grow (I do hope your saving them cuttings)

Thanks for the info.
What would I do with the cuttings. Unfortunately, they went out with the trash already.

That makes sense about the bud site. Hope my girls recover quickly because they lost half their mass in a day.

The male flowers I got off the white satin. Oh my god...:rasta:
Got me so high, real heady high. One hit, off week old male flowers. I knew it would be good because the satin was so sticky when I was prunning it.

What have these girls been through the last couple of weeks?

Well let's start from bad and then go to worse.

I have the air pump on all the time, the one that feeds all the waterfarms, well for some reason and some time ago. Had to be at least 1 1/2 to weeks, I took the pump on the timer and plugged it into the strip, so it was always on.

Get's worse. Some type of sediment grew and plugged the holes that feed into the water right at the point where the air exists. So they all start doing absolutely nothing. Most of them had their roots reach their nutes, but none of those roots were getting good oxygen. I wonder if keeping the air on all the time made them sediment grow to plug the hole?

Anyway, around the same time or right before they stopped growing. I pruned them a second time since last. Then a third time and a fourth. I don't know what got over me. I just was possessed to cut off all the high wide leaves that were shadowing elbows.

Well I thought it was the pruning that was slowing their growth, and I'm still not absolutely sure that it was. Any, the lasting pruning, was actually a harvest of very immature but sticky white only flowers. What can I say, I was fiending.

Anyway here they are, some of them sickly and some of them, I think, better for the entire stressful experience. Look how the white widows are flowing. That's only about 4 days from pruning. Female Seeds white widow rocks! :dance:

Check out the icing! :rasta:

Haven't seen these girls in a few so, this is the first time seeing icing. :thumbsup:
I know it's not that much to you pros, but I've never seen a weed, in person ice the leaves at least not growing live.

Forgot to mention. One the ice plants won't flower at all. It just sits there, but the other one is doing great. Weird thing is one of them have thin leaves (the frozen one) and one of them has fatter leaves like the white widow.

I loved my Female Seeds WW. It was my first grow along with NL X Shiva. The WW totally outshined and I was very proud. I'm definitely going to do that again. She took a couple weeks longer though.

[skriptkiddy]

REally?

How many days total?
And how many days flowering?

[moreover123]

14 weeks total. 8 weeks flower. 4oz off the one plant. 430watt horitlux. GH nutes. No meters. Just finger crosses. I was happy with that for a first grow. She was a shorter plant than the NL x Shiva and was so pretty. I tried cloning but killed them.

[skriptkiddy]

My clone attempts died too.
GH nutes here too. I think the GH are actually pH buffered, because I always getting narrow range in the high 6's using them.
No meters as well too except for a pack of pH test drops.

My widows' characteristics though are different from widows I've seen pictures of. They like to grow bushy as well as tall, and their leaves are uniform in size; in that, once a certain size leaf appears a bigger one doesn't appear.

The white satin male though, had leaves that made it look like a palm tree at a certain point.

I finally understand why they call these girls white widow.

If you stare at them too long, their hair seem like legs. Anyway i'm rambling.

Moreover did you do anything in terms of a rinse or cleaning in the last few days or last week?

[moreover123]

I just dumped the containers and rinsed in very hot water then put in plain ph'd water for the last 2 weeks. But the WW took longer than the NL X Shiva and by the time I realized she needed to go longer, I didn't want to put more nutes in. She actually was in plain water for the last 3-4 weeks before harvest. I worried alot about that. Didn't know what to do but I think she might have liked it. Turned out very well.

[moreover123]

Actually, I need to change the above information. My NL X shiva took 14 weeks and my WW took 16. I suppose that's because I have a 400 watt light or not enough nutes? IDK.
