Second grow, White Widow X Big Bud Feminized. Hope you enjoy :D!

They definitely will still bud out good, this strain loves to bud!

Thank you Samuel, supchaka, RW, Subu and Jesus . +Rep Jesus and Subu . I tried to give it to you other three, but I already have and it said no XD.

So I originally was planning on flowering at 20-24 inches tall. RL420 flowered these at 12 inches. How about everyone else that has grown this strain? I know I want the runt to get taller, meaning the other two will still dwarf her, but that FIM will have to recover first as well.

Thanks again everyone

Tried to hit you again as well but says i have to spread the love. I havent grown the strain you are, but I am of the opinion to flower when you need to. I started mine early because I didnt want to go to the dispenseries after june so the next 2 or 3 grows will be quick veg fast flower, but if you have the meds you need and dont have to rush then take it slow and do it how you feel you need to. just my 2 cents.

Snoochie Boochies!

Thanks sam and RL . Two feet it is . These are going to be huge. At least five feet if ww x bb likes to do the 3 foot stretch.

I wonder if starting blue mammoth auto under the same light would be decent? Probably a lot of stretching though..

Thanks everyone

dude heres a story for ya. I thought i would germ the mammoth and see how it goes since my plants are barely 1ft right now. Why not right? So i drop the seed into a shotglass, go to fill it with water. Somehow i decided to turn it on FULL BLAST and the seed went down the drain. I was quite sad. Then i laughed about it on how dumb i am.

So I figured I would do an update everyone. I will be leaving town tomorrow until Sunday, just as I did a few weeks ago. But the trays with a very diluted nutrient solution definitely worked well last time.

I can see why my FIM was wrong here on number one, but her nodes are finally coming up. Bending fan leaves down to provide more light and less shade is whats saving me on this one. She is 10.5 inches tall . I present #1!



Now on number two, the FIM was only a LITTLE more short than the one on number one. The node growth is insane! There are eight nodes up at the top, and this plant is SUPER bushy already. The nodes are as thick as the stem of the plant, and even long as the plant is tall! Measuring in at 11 inches tall, I give you #2!



Number 3 is below here. She is only 5 inches tall, and I FIM'ed her yesterday. I made sure that this FIM was shorter and more accurate. Ill toss her FIM photo in here, along with the photos of her I just took .



And finally here is the grow .



The verdict is to continue vegetative growth until the two tallest plant have reached 24 inches tall. The runt of course will probably be only a foot or so tall. My next question is, what nutrients do you all recommend for flowering? Remember I need to grab hydro friendly nutrients. Not all that sure if the nutrients I have now will be good for bloom, but ill post the few pictures I have of the nutrients just because it will be a pain to find them in previous posts. Also, now that these plants have recovered from being FIM'ed (or sort of), how long do you think it will be until the two tallest plants (10.5 and 11 inches) will reach two feet?



Thanks everyone. !

The bloom nutes you have looks like you have everything in it. Add molasses tsp per gallon, will make your buds denser!!...rw

Would a hydro store carry molasses? Or where could i purchase some.

Thanks RW :3

You can buy it at any grocery store in the baking isle silly... Get Un-sulfered molassess, also molassess is a highly controversial topic. It does infact feed your beneficial microbes though for a fact. Other than that cant say too much on my end

I actually think I am going to not do any molasses. The nutrients I have pack all of the essentials, along with all of the essential micronutrients and macronutrients. Also the guy at the hydro store said you dont want to add a full TSP per gallon, but like one per five gallons of water. Otherwise your plants can get clogged up and yeah :/...dont want that.

Thanks RL and all !

Kind of astonishes me that these plants, the tallest two, already are nearly the size of the little 3 month plant i grew with horrible CFLs. And these are only a few weeks old xD.

I think sitting here baking nuggets has determined the next grow. Out of all the seeds Ive received I have five big named strains. So the grow will be those four girls that arent WWxBB. Pure AK and Bubblegummer from Female Seeds, Sensi Star from Paradise seeds, and Exodus Kush from DNA genetics.

Ill still be around on here, but no updates until I am back sunday. We'll all be updated simultaneously.

...Holy bonkers baked...

Well im headed out for a couple days.

In turn i have put the three trays under the plants, added the 1/2 strength of nutrients, and added water to dilute it.

I know they'll be fine as i did this when they were seedlings. Also, they call it weed for a reason...not all that easy to kill unless you don't know what your doing or you rip it out of the ground xD.

Thanks all :3

give us an update when you return, im sure the ladies will have changed by then hope all is well, keep er green

Man does it feel great to be back home. How was everyone's weekend? Mine was filled with nothing but nuggets, drinks, and a cinco de mayo celebration .

I was so worried I wouldn't make it back in time to take photos before the lights flipped, since they are on 18/6, but luckily I made it in time to take pictures and measure them. The moment I set the tape measure down, the lights flipped xD. The girls are looking absolutely amazing, and here is the update .

So below here we have number one. Though the FIM didn't go as I planned, her node growth is still coming along decently. She measures in at a whopping 13 inches, and if you notice the fans drooping kind of its just because they are tucked in so the nodes receive more light .



The photos below here are obviously the best looking plant, and took the FIM the best so far. I present number two. She is insanely bushy. She is nearly 14 inches tall, and I would say at least eighteen inches wide. the nodes are all over the place and all around very healthy.



And last but not least, number three/the ugly duckling. She has obviously reacted to the FIM just as well as number two did. The FIM for number three is posted in previous posts, but it was much shorter than the other two I made on numbers one and two. Her nodes are coming up from the fans, and she is currently nearing 8 inches tall. Look better than the last ones everyone?



Here is a couple shots of the grow !



So what do you all think? It seems like these plants couldn't be more healthy, and I am impressed with everything completely. My only issue now is since I went buckwild on spending money on seeds, I now have no medicine money. I don't want to trigger flowering yet, but I don't think I will be able to wait until two feet tall. My goal is to see what happens size wise in one week from today (this coming sunday). If need be I will wait longer, as I will not be leaving home to visit again for another three weeks.

I think in total I've spent 400-500 on seeds in no more than 5 weeks time, now I kind of screwed myself >.< .

To everyone that has grown this strain, is growing this strain, or knows anything of the strain..what is the ideal height for a 400 Watt HPS lamp during flowering? Just figured I would ask, since that's one of the last things I am unsure of. I know flowering is 8 to 10 weeks on the strain, and I know that yields are quite impressive.

Also, what is everyone's guess in weight that the plants will produce after harvesting? I know its super early, but I guess its a sort of guessing game we can look back on in a couple months . I hope that the girls reach 20 inches tall one week from today, and I'll definitely trigger flowering.

Thanks everyone, and its great to be back. Input is great, and I'll be here !

From your bulb its 18 inches of 400w penetration, i usually have my hood 7-9 inches from my tops during flowering, but i also have an air cooled hood with glass.

I think youll get 2.5 oz EASY per plant

So if i veg them to two feet, the numbers would be bigger ?

Im pumped .

Hello everyone. I have been having some trouble connecting to R.I.U., but now that it's back up here is an update .

I unplugged the timer, and set the lights back to 24/0 from 18/6. I am nearly ready to flower the girls, but I want to smallest one (the ugly duckling) to get to at least 12 inches before I flower. Thus, the six extra hours of light will help the growth occur more soon.

Below here is number one. As you can see the FIM was a complete failure on her, but she is still very healthy and going to be a great plant. She is a hair over 14 inches tall . I wanted to grow a plant as is, so in the end it works out .



Below here is number two. It is clear that the FIM on her was a great success. Her nodes growth is extreme, and she measures in at just shy over 13 inches.



Number three is below here, and I am quite impressed. The FIM on her in my opinion was the best of them all, even though she is the shortest. Her nodes are climbing up, and I predict she will look like number two if not better within a few days from now . She measures in at 9 inches tall, and my goal is to get her to 13 inches and then flowering will commence .



Well a lot of these photos will not go through for number three so after this post I shall edit .

What do you all think? I haven't heard back from everyone, but nothing has really changed other than the girls getting larger.

I plan to trigger flowering within a few days, or as long as it takes for the runt to get to 12 or 13 inches tall.

Here is the grow, and thank you everyone !

BUMP. I plan on adding the photos of number 3 in awhile. Either rollitup is freaking out, or my net/computer is. No photos are appearing in any of the posts on this thread, and the photos when uploading for number 3 get red X's next to them rather than a green check mark.

Thanks all.
