Pot of gold, white widow, blue widow closet grow!!

bobbyhopefeild · Mar 24, 2010

hello everyone

I have been a keen smoker since for quite some time now but for probably the past year prices have gone mad! your bog standard eighths are £25 (used to be £20!) and eighths have gone down from 3.5 grams to 2.8!!!!! and all the fucking weed we get these days has been dried superfast so its still damp and by the time you dry it out its like 2 grams and harsh a s fuck!

in light of these greedy capatalist times , I have decided to grow my own

so then

started growing a bagseed about 2 months ago under an 18w t5 as a exsperiment and hav recently upgraded her (sapphira) to our lovely 600w gro closet , she turned out to be a pure sativa and is flourishing nicely, right now shes about 2ft and were gunna flower her as soon as we have somewhere to do it

the other little ones are 3 weeks old and the seeds came from Flying Dutchmen ; Pot Of Gold . I would highly recommend them, 100% germination rate, excellent plants, very good quality indeed, they all germinated within 12 hours!
the blue and white widow were free and are feminized from Dinafem

were using two 300w (not equivalent) cfl's.
sugar and yeast fermentation c02 enrichment.
we live in a ridiculously humid climate and the humidity is between 60-80% (were working on getting it down)
temperature is between 25-30c during the day and about 19-21 at night

All comments or questions extremely welcome!!!

looks good man, I too am a closet grower and use books and dvds to lift my plants to the light haha.

bobbyhopefeild · Mar 24, 2010

yea , we had to cuz the sativa in the corner is so much older than them, we noticed after we posted it that in one of the pics u can see some boobs on the cover of a bizarre mag we used lol

UPDATE!!!
so its been a whole week since i started this grow journal so i thought id better update it
we moved the pure sativa bagseed out of the closet, took all the books away and spaced the plants better cuz everything was getting a bit crowded,currently flowering her in another closet with 14 14w cfl's
the day after i posted the pics, they all got a serious P/K deficiency, but after a flushing that took ages and ages they seem to be doin fine
they all seem to have a indica super dense canopy , so those 300w cfl are certainly penatrating enough, yay!!! cuz we were worried they wouldnt be as good as metal halide but seems to be just fine
so have a look and please comment :bigjoint:

xxxxxxxxxx

looking good man, so your only using 2 300w cfls for the entire grow? or are you switching to another light?

yea their not equivalent btw , one of those 10 inch bulbs and at the moment they each produce about 25000 lumens but unlike metal halide its really close to the plants so they extract alot more light (inverse square law) and its 100% PAR so the maths is all sound, but will be adding quite a few more cfls for side lighting when they get bigger and then loads more when they flower (along with red bulbs of course)

hey everyone
the grows coming on okay, the pot of gold are all very densely bushy and squat, they have still all got a slight potassium deficiency; we're feedind them everyday at full strength with a fertiliser but they just can't seem to get enough

the freebie dinafem white and blue widow are looking quite healthy, quite a bit taller than the pog, they have sprouted tiny white pistols at brach unions so their (hopefully not hermies!) probably fems

we put the lanky sativa bagseed in a crapy closet we had to hash togther as she was growing out of control, now she' 3 days in 12/12 and outgrowing the new closet :wall:

If anyone has any ideas about how i can inhibit her growth but not inhibit bud growth please say!

will give another grow update when the stativa begins to bloom :eyesmoke:

and i put 2 pics of my cat's kittens , she gave birth 3 days ago, i just thought they were cute.

Hey man, nice grow.
I see you have a Blue Widow from Dinafem eh? Well it just so happens that we got a thread going that is JUST for Dinafem's Blue Widow. There is also a friendly comp going on in there between a couple ppl and myself. It's also a place where everyone that has grown it out, can post their pix of it. A thread that's dedicated to just Blue Widow. I would appreciate it if you would throw as few pics of your Blue Widow up in there, and you also can join in, in the comp too if you want.

hey everyone
more than half way to flowering now! thought bout it the other day and its not really gunna be until setember before we chop it and even then it wsill be a couple of weeks for cure n drying!
but oh well i spose.....

waiting for the un-feminised ones to how sex, we're pritty sure which ones are male and female now, can't wait to get rid of the crappy males, clogging up our grow-closet, barstards .

I've noticed when looking at other gro journals that its hard to get a scale, all the plants are around 21cm high now, and its the same white grow closet so you can see how much they have grown
any comments of questions very welcome

Very Nice Grow! they are so uniform and healthy looking, my girlfriend commented "they look like a bunch of little flowers" obviously the pics dont do them justice. well im subscribed and look forward to seeing how this goes. I can only hope my room will look like this once i get going.

hardroc · Apr 6, 2010

Right on man, nice healthy and green, keep up the good work

bobbyhopefeild · Apr 8, 2010

heloo
their about 37 days old now, still have a potassium deficiency but i dont have any money for new fertiliser, but oh well. I put my book next to it to giv it some scale, the length of the book is 21cm and the width is 15cm. Most of the plants are about 22cm tall and on the 10th node

the lanky sativas been a week in flower now and is now just over 3ft tall (height from the pot, i noticed on some peoples grow journals that they included the pot in height which i think is stupid) , she's looking pritty gud for being under crappy small cfl's

can't work out which ones are male, a slightly taller one we had thought was male sprouted pistols today, so we have no idea which ones are which now .

bout it really, all comments and stuff welcome as usual

Looking nice, that sativa is straight as an arrow!!

bobbyhopefeild · Apr 18, 2010

hey , havnt done a entry for quite a while so thought might as well. These pics were taken from a couple of days ago. Planning on putting the little ones in the white closet into flowering in about a week.Their about 36cm high to give some kind of perspective. The lanky sativa has been in flowering for about 2 weeks, started to smell quite spicy now :hump:

, although she has a slight phosphorous deficiency but I'm too skint to buy any new fertiliser right now, she's about 120cm so just about 4ft
all comments and advice ect very welcome as usual

Looking forward to seeing those pot of golds get chopped , i smoked some a while back and it was some of the best bud i smoked.. the buds are rock rock hard and have an awesome skunky smell to them.. good luck!

bobbyhopefeild · Apr 18, 2010

well realistically their exspected to take about 10 weeks to flower which will be in august, but once curing and drying is done it will probably be about the begining of sptemeber before i can actually smoke any of it!
