well here we are in the midst of a private use grow - I am almost 7 weeks in on a feminised white widow grow with emotional support for the widows provided by a chocolate thai skunk and kc Brains kc33. All from attitude seed bank. The white widows germinated instantly the thai was reluctant and the kc33 was like pulling teeth. here we are about two weeks in:

Yousee that little runt? KC33. keep an eye on that one folks. I started the whole project on a smal 24 inch four bulb cfl from worms way but quickly saw that was going to get me only so far total lumens of about 7800 and not high out put. here is a shot at week three:


I had started putting half a tablespoon of alaskan salmon compost into my filtered water with a ph of 6.5. the soil was some 20 dollar bag from the local hydro shop. I also was at time germinating seeds for the vegetable garden and flowers. Love to garden. But knowing I had a need for light I hit the web with limited monies." Eway" and a credit card got me this reflector with 8 bulbs 4 veg high output and four HO Flower bulbs. Small electric bill and heat with decent 26000 lumens for 158 clams. Yay internet! perfect for that hard to please recently divorced person in your life. So I turned it on and got it hanging a few inches away and things started growing.



So I added a small fan from an old pc I had stored away hacking an appropriate power cord and plugged it and the lights into a power strip with storm protection plugged intoa timer set to 18 hours light in my 5x4x5.5 foot grow room. Which I lined with emergency mylar blankets bought on line six for 9 dollars. Yay internet! Remember that runt kc33? Here it is 6.5 weeks later:


So tall I had to bend the damned thing, just like the thai plant, also the leaves look droopy because I am about to water them They go about a day and a hlf between watering times:


[]The white widow though I likey big time. So far I have two phenotypes emerge short n squat and a tad stretchy I liked it so much 3 weeks ago I germinated 3 other feminized seeds! Plus I cloned a white widow a thai and a kc33.
Also I had a spare thai and kc33 I left out side. Gave one to a friend and left the other one alone in a pint container. I'll show you that sometime. So here are the two types of white widow tall and squat. the tall one was up against the lights for about two days so a tad crispy.


and the other is just right


You can see in the background the small 2 foot long lights, I propped them on the side so the smaller plants can get light from it yet it will still put light on the lager plants under canopy. I plan to stuff cfls around the plants when i go to flower time next week. the smaller light in the back I will pull and keep on my vegging plantsand clones for now till I can afford another four foot HO CFL. The shorter of the white widows I will clone a lot not the big one , one of the three week old seedligs instead. Dont want to rock the bud boat with sudden pruning before flower time. Also I am at one table spoon of salmon compost per gallon two galllons for all four big plants with a touch of calcium nitrates every now and then. Plus every other watering I flush with pure water. Oh and I added one table spoon of molasses now for the last week and a half.
here is a group shot almost two weeks ago

here they are today

The widow on the far left is on the ground the others are raised six inches I have two and half to three feet of room right now and when too tall I will take the six inch platform out. Hopefully everything will be in full flower and ready for harvest by then.
White widow is said to flower for 45 to 60 days same as kc33. Thai is nearly 85 days. I have one issue arise and that is a very limited amount of sudden pale leaves around the top of the thai

Any Ideas?
I would of posted all of this earlier but wanted to be sure I had a decent enough outcome so far and had something to show for my efforts. Thanks for dropping by all comments welcome.

looks good, your flowering now correct? because they will double if not triple in height. They look really healty especially the widow, is the weather good outside where you live? take a few clones of the widow and put them outside, not to much extra work but when chop time comes you will have bigger yield.

yeah fifties to seventies this week then warming up. I will flower starting next week. the thing is I wonder if after being in the lights will the clones want to flower on time or will they grow extra large due to the day lights seasonal cycle? A six month grow till the light starts to change (here in the south) heck it does not get cool till nov around here last year not till late december.

good grow man! that WWs gonna get huge!

hey thanks a lot!

If you take clones now while in veg stage and keep at 18/6 they will get big or you could flower them straight away like sayword and have a clone army. I wouldget a few clones and leave them outside if the weathers good, wont cost you much if anything. Up to you though.

I just moved everything around and started to induce flowering in the four main plants. I switched the bulbs out to fall colors and have begun shortening the hours about an hour a day till next week the 12/12. I'e got the seedlings and clones in a separate area for now but need to come up with a better area.. I will add more bulbs around the four later on this weekend. pics when things get interesting..

so I have these indoor plants and man they are just growing so well on the cfl I had to remove one just to get the other three the light they need. Next grow is a round of auto dwarfs and white widow clones.
here the recently paroled kc33 displays the greenest mutha truckin leaves I have on my whole property. White hairs are just coming out of this one. It is said to expect 90 days of flower with this one.

and here is why I am willing to wait. Remeber me talking about two runts i tossed out? Well this is one a kc33 that is in three weeks of flower and when pinched smells like piney lemons. Orgasmic. You cant see it cell phone pic sucks I know but it is dense with crystals. I can only imagine what the larger version is going to pan out like. TEMPS ARE PERFECT RIGHT NOW. 80 to 90 daytime and mid 50's to 70's at night. with virtually no humidity.


Here is the other runt given to a friend. It is a chocolate thai skunk that when I got it back had three small pale leaves at this height and it was droopy to boot. two weeks of love later it's leafed out nice and should top three feet when budded out.


here is the white widow I kicked out from the temporary grow room no room at the inn so to speak . I have two white widow moms and a clone of each type ww,kc and thai. all doing well too. I am amazed how fast the white wid can bud out. twice the speed of the sativa strains I have. I expect this one to be one solid two foot long bud. MMMMMmmmm mother fucka yessss.


but this is an INDOOR grow journal right? so lets get to it.
here is the white widow short pheno type and the thai skunk in the first week of flower. the taller ww is almost seen on the left.


Im feeding mole asses and composted salmon every other watering and then flushing with almost two gallons of filtered water per plant in between.

and the budding begins.. counted 15 decent bud sites on the skunk all budding out at the node sights if counting all the node sights budding out its around sixty budlets developing...I feel so pimp baby...lol..


the temp grow room is a cabinet


the best part ? Alll ALLLL the plants came out female. indoors and out.
SSSCCCHHHWWWIIINNNGG!.. mmmm good .....thanks for checking it all out!

and here is some finished product posted on another forum this is a ww that was mentioned above one that I expected about a foot long cola from.
