Whaddup yo,

I wanted to be sure that I had some fresh buds for the holidays. This is a nice little lady whom is approaching her harvest time. She is White Widow, about 16", grown in soil under 3x 100watt CFLs. I decided to use NO NUTRIENTS AT ALL in this grow. The only problem I encountered was a slight magnesium def.

The buds are of decent size, smell like heaven, and are sticky as could be. The trichs are all very cloudy, I had some closeup pics of them but the shots were a tad blurred. I'm guessing she will probably come down in about a week, we will see.

All comments are welcome, as well as your opinion on when to harvest her.
Thanks

I was also considering Jerking off on the buds, to see the effects of added protein...

Not really, but seriously, anyone got any suggestions on when to chop?

yours look like mine- I have white widow that is STICKY ICKY and I am currently in the 4th week of flowering so I am thinking probably 4 more weeks or if I can- change the light to 16/8 and bring them in around new years.... my suggestion would be to snip off a few buds every week and put them in the oven for 10 min at around 110degrees and try it!!!
here is a picture i took this morning of my week 4 beauties!!!

p.s. what type of CFL are you using?

I'm using three 23watt (100watt equivalent) cfl's. They are like 2 inches from the top. So you suggest changing the light schedule? Anything to help the development I am willing to go with. I'm going to have to cut her down before christmas regardless as I'm leaving for about a week, and I would like to have them drying.

I'd say you've got at least three weeks left man. it's def. not ready now, but get a scope from Radioshack and check the trichs anyway. it's got some time to go...

I checked the Trichs already, they are very cloudy, not quite ready. I'm letting her live as long as i can. Its all a matter of when I leave town that determines when she will be cut.

right on man...it looks great! in my last grow, I waited two weeks after I would have normally harvested (the trichs were 75% amber) and it's great smoke. good luck!

add as much light as possible because you are going to get the most growth in buds the last 2 weeks and since its 9 days till xmas id say get as much light on her as you can asap before the big day for the added boost. you may wanted to have done that earlier lol but it still looks like you are gonna have some dank dank bud. remember man patience pays off.

Wow, that plant looks fantastic for cfls. I imagine that it might take a bit longer than 8 weeks to mature because ur using cfls, but you should get some great bud.

Is that phosphorus deficiency I see? ...
hmm.. maybe it is mag deficient as you suspect.

anyhow, Looks like your only 30~40% hair color change so I say.... you'll be looking for a few more weeks.

It will be a Christmas Harvest!!!

Merry Christmass!!!

(just for the heck of it, I'ld clip a little bit off now to dry and start the cure, so you can enjoy this come Christmas day)

I just had a full-baked idea...what if I were to start growing a bunch of plants indoors while it's freezing outside and then replant them around my mountain in April. Wouldn't that spread pretty far before it gets found out publicly? What if we did that all across the country? The government would have such a hard time covering that. Man...

they look good for only 69w of cfl , how are the lower bud sites looking ?

I have a pic were you can see the lower buds (not the best pic) they arnt as good lookin as the cola buds, I'm considering putting some light on them after i cut the top buds off.

And as for a phosphorus def. It could be, Like I said I've used only straight water so shes probably starving for some kinda nutes lol
