Nice grow man, your white widow is Way more indica then mine, I wish I could get hedges like that before flowering haha, check out my grow(in my sig) I got 7 white widows that are in dy 23 of flower, your gonna love what this strain does in flower

I got lucky i guess , all ihave bought are the nutes , pots , fans etc etc , i got a load of stuff given by my gf's mate , he grew for profit a few years ago, made his wedge and then boxed it all up, I inherited it all , i could grow about 50 plants with the troughs, pumps, tanks lights etc etc , but I'm not in it for that , I just want a decent supply of ripe buds not the overpriced , damp , underdeveloped, quickly harvested as soon as the buds appear, crapola thats flying round . . . as with any other recreational drug, its meddled with and sold for max profit minimal user satisfaction . . . . you need decent herb man aye

I only just got the coco today, I'm a dirtbag at the minute , totally new to all this growing business, but Im getting there . . . got a clone in some rockwool at the minute , gonna see if i can grow it without killing it off , if i get it right then its coco time, I love the simplicity of flood/drain . . . one pump 2 holes and a hose and its meant to be really good for the roots , plus coco makes it really hard to overwater from what i hear, so it should suit my trial and error grow to a tee

nice looking plants , it seems that whatever strain you grow no 2 plants are the same, i do love indica tho , small shrubby and very pretty to look at , seen a few sativa grows and they just look tall and spangly. I prefer the stone of indica too , had some great white shark the other day and i was on the brink of hallucinating off it , really trippy smoke

Sounds like you have everything you need for a nice perpetual set-up. I'm just getting one started myself. I'm starting with White Widow and Strawberry Cough. You plants look good so far man. I'll have to keep watching.

Hopefully in a few weeks im getting a couple of white shark cuttings so I'll have a nice variety and never get ripped off for poor green ever again , and my grow room smells just yummy , seen as theres only me and the gf here smell is not much of an issue , more a treat really

Here she is as of week 6 day 1 veg . . put a couple of close ups of her lady parts she's a bit loose anyway so I know she wont mind you all perving over her lady garden . . . .

Few more here , upload crashed halfway through

Bigger than shit dood!! the cig was a good i dea, i kinda wondered like 'how big is this in real life?', but u fixed that!

Yeah i sorta thought some sorta size scale should be in order , I built me a veg tent now so she's in darkness for then next 24 hours or so 2 clones an another mother sat in the veg room ready to grow . . . . buds for the new year

yeh good work mate....your in about the same place i am in.......WW is a blood good strain 58 for 5 feminised seeds you'll ave a good phenotype. Im growing atm 4 Spoetnik, 5 Jack herer x white widow, 5 dame blanche, 1 auto blueberry (just to see what all this aoutoflowering stuff is about) and my pride and joy one red dragon. all feminised ill put up some pictures later but your plants are looking good man!

peace

Cheers altho she's lookin a bit yellow on her shoots after a 24 hr lights out , sort of the colour of grass when you pull a board off it thats been there a while , I'm hoping its just lack of light and she fully recovers . . . Red dragon?? never heard of that before , is it a rare strain ?? i'm guessing its got bright red buds

im guessing the smoke burns like hell! hahahaha just kidding never heard of it tho!

Must be a welsh smoke had the red dragon acid , if its a potent as that was . . . . jeesh , its gonna be mental

haha no it doesnt burn but itll put you in a koma for 4 hours. 4 of us smoked about an ounce of afghan black gold block when i got home.....live miles away from 'home' so had a huge smoke. a gram of red dragon lasted the same 4 for 24 hours. i've seen it sold for 35 on the gram. strong shit and pretty rare to just come across, so highly recommend the smoke from that. the bud it's self has firery red trichomes which produce sopme strong thc. THC content is about 23-24% but can get up to around 26%. you actually have to think.....right what am i doing for the next four hours. if nothing happy days but if you are and it involves contact 'with the out side world' dont. just smoke the chronic lol.

ive just put mine into flower to just put mine through the 24 hour dark period, my leaves are quite dark on the ends because spoetnik have like silvery grey purple leaves so having that colour green looked lush!

how long did you veg for and to what height

peace

I veged her for 6 weeks 18/6 under a 400 w hps planta (extra blue spectrum) til she's about 20 inches tall, very very bushy though Icant wait for her to flower . . . . .nothing smells as nice as a bunch of fresh buds or smokes . . . . very excited now , Indica is the way forwards . .. .. she's under a brand new 400w nav-t now full of healthy red light . . .. . now for the waiting game

yeh fair play mate....i would say i disagree on always indica.......i would say sativa through the morning indica through the afternoon! give you a good all round smoke! i really hate the waiting game....knwoing your going to have some fucking nice weed thats you've watched grow from seed......nothing quite like the satisfaction of smoking your own herb!

what do you think of the ultra blue spectrum........notice much difference?

i use a strong red and blue spectrum to cover both needs and its a good general spectrum as obviously different plants need differents types of light. just means i can grow lots of different plants!

Definatly think about growing your self some red dragon......it is the shit! hummmms i totally agree about the smell........great waking up and smelling the herb! gets me out of bed in the morning

anyway i thought i would upload some pics so you could have a look

these are my spoetnik plants that are 2 days in the flowering period....12/12

what did you use for compost? nutes?

peace

Nice plants dude I'm in normal baby bio potting compost , usin terra vega and flora at about 1/3 strangth,give her a shot of canna boost a couple of days ago and spring water at 6.2 evry morning, the ultra blue has impproved her a lot , changed bulbs about a week ago and she's nearly doubled in size, which was nice , got 2 clones in baskets , one in rockwool/hydroton the other on coco, just for the experiment, got another mother in the veg room for if the clones fuck up, im feedin em 1/4 strngth formulex and 1/4 strength bio bizz coco nutes ,its a 2 part mix for the complete life of the plant . . dunno if its ideal for flowering but ive got aqua flores and aqua vega to hand and some greenhaze bloom for the final couple of weeks , started one off (the other mother) in rockwool and i nearly killed her , if you look at thge early pics she's the piss poor weedy looking thing (pun intended) soo i banged herr in some compost, she was in shock for a few days but all my tlc sorted her out and she's doing great now I've changed the hps to full red now with a brand new bulb just for flowering . . . . looking at some of the widows on here I'm well excited , especially because she's my first grow and she's doing so well , she's gonna be kick ass im thinking , ive smoked widow thats street grown but this one is gonna be special , for my consumption only . . . fuck getting rid of any

haha i agree bud. personal smoke!
yeh i use the clonex for the rooting gel.....always had good results from it its a £5 so happy days. Along side that i use ionic boost, hy-pro bio, TRF, and MGSPF, try and spend as little as possible on nutes as i think the difference between the £10 nutes and £50 for small grows is very pointless.....there are good little tips and tricks i use to achieve the same results, just need a little more time with the plants. like feed them when the plants are most suceptable to the nutrients. about 11am and 2 pm
just on the light plants need more than one spectrum to grow. so bear that in mind

all looks good though bud

peace

I've spent all I'm spending on them now , the nutes etc etc I have should last a good 12 months, only growing 1 or 2 at the most so its all good I put her under full red to induce flowering , after she's in bloom I'll put the blue/red bulb back in over her so she gets all she needs, I was thinking of getting a UVB reptile lamp but I'm in 2 minds about it ( more reaearch required before i spend any more , at this rate I'll of paid for an ounce of quality green , then theres the leccy bill) . As this is my first proper grow I'm gonna work out how much i get V.s what I've paid in stuff etc etc , and maybe either go CFL for a grow or risk a couple more plants, not really sure which way its heading but I'm having so much fun growing her . . . . and next grow is gonna be hydro , same time , 6 week veg then flower and see if its any better (if i dont see any damage in that time), if not its dirt again , you dont pay extra electric for pumps, heaters timers etc etc with dirt , and its very forgiving, I should know hahaha
