Oh yes, it's about to get good from here on out. Finally went ahead and got some FF OF soil and moved the two little guys into 5 and 7 gallon containers. One about that soil......it STINKS....BAD. I opened up the bag and didn't take a whiff but the smell straight punched me in my nose lol....I now have a headache. I'm very happy with how everything has been going and this next month is sure to be a blast. For the better looking peat, I decided to try a form of lst using twine rope so I'm really excited to see how it turns out. My hst'd widows look pretty grotesque to say the least but new growth is happening everywhere on them! This pre-lst'd peat looks to have a brighter future than even Star and since it is better equipped to really flourish I expect big things from it and the other one. I'm also starting to gameplan on my first indoor grow after this one. I've narrowed it down to three strains (I think....) between AK-47, Blueberry or Blue Cheese, and L.A. Confidential. This is all just so much fun! I would post pics but it's been raining heavily lately and I'm feeling lazy haha so I'm out!

Well we're at wk 9 and boy....these things are going to take over pretty soon if they keep on the pace that they are going. They grow so fast now its almost crazy. I dont even worry about nute burn anymore with the bunch they can take it full strength now no problem. every widow is making leaps and bounds in growth every day so i guess the pics will start speaking for themselves!


this one is starting to get pretty big in a hurry.........

good growth in the middle as well.....very healthy looking!


Star is becoming a bushy monster. i want to spread the canopy to the other side to complete the look. also has 9 flora now


Here is a shot of some of Star's HST


Here is another of the HST'd bunch. nowhere near as bushy as Star, but still looking good

this one is staring to spread out more evenly and im starting to like where this is going.


the runt wont be the runt much longer lol


here is the lst'd fella. i liked this idea of using rope and it looks to be a promising one. now that i see what quality soil drains, feels, and even smells like its a no brainer why this stuff is so highly recommended.

my friends plants grow just as fast as mine!




and heres a group shot of my seven. pretty soon the close ups wont even be necessary. Great summer so far and this journal doesnt look too bad either. At least someone took the time to give it a rating...many thanks!

Nice job, looks like your on the right track.

I use FF soil myself, and it's kinda like that old joke: "Why are divorce's so expensive? Because they're worth it!" LOL!

You will learn much from this grow that will help you next year!

Good luck, keep it up!

thanks a million for the comments and compliments! finally some input, you guys have really made my day!

Wassup world! got a quick update to finish out this week. i was still pissed about that last post for a while so i left out a lot of detail but it looks like the bunch is starting to flower. i noticed little pistils at the top of the hst'd widows yesterday. i was sad a little at first because i would have loved at least a half foot more of growth but once again this is no one's fault but mine. Today i guess woke up on the right side of the bed because i realized how much i want to see the bud of the widow in person! as you may know this is my first time growing my own top-shelf thrax so im actually more interested in seeing what prime bud is supposed to look like when its not bagged up coming off the streets....never mind the fact that it could be anything and not what the dealer says.... but i digress. i went to the very local hydro store (so convenient.....the guys there have been excellent in helping me out with my grow. its funny cuz i KNOW they know what time it is with me hahaha when a young black guy walks in the store in a black wifey and some ed hardy shorts im pretty sure theyve realized im not a tomato gardener but they never give me shit in fact help me with a smile on their face. kool stuff.) and picked up some tiger bloom. im starting them into it on the light side (for them anyway) at 4 teaspoons to a gallon. 200ml to see how they like the stuff until monday then ill add some more. ill keep you posted on male to female ratio but it already looks like at least one of the 4 hst'd widows are male. im still deciding what to do with the males when the time comes because i would love to have an arsenal of these seeds on deck but i dont want to fuck with the harvest in any way. be easy till the next update folks!

Ive been away sooo long......life doesn't let up it seems haha I've been Really busy with stuff other than my remaining girls but I need to make an update cuz a lot has happened since the last post. To start things off, for all the praise I have to give to bcseeds for being legit I have a lot less of it to give when it comes to the male/female ratios. Out of the small army of 11 healthy plants I had at one point only 4 came out female (3 of mine, one of my friends). I thought it was newbie growing mistake but the crazy thing is that only the ones that I supercropped turned out female.....real head scratcher there, but I could even live with that. What I can't live with? THESE DAMN PESTS RAPING MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. it turns out about a week ago I found these white larvae that would float to the top of the soil when I watered my plants. I got semi- alarmed and did the dawn dishsoap deal and thought everything would be ok......a day and a half later I see my smallest girl tipped over but still on the soil. I scoop the top of the soil out and I promised it looked like they threw a block-party in the pot! The plant died a few days later and I took some of the critters to the pest control store and tell me I have.....subterranean termites? They tell me they won't kill my plants but I clearly saw otherwise. Turns out direct pot to earth contact is a big no no and invites pest from all over....like a block-party haha. Needles to say I put the remaining pots I'm chairs to stop more from coming in and did a small flush with some go gnats solution but clearly didn't work because they're still there. I went to the hydro store and they said the most they would really do is shift around grow media in the pot which would lead to the plant tipping over....on to better news though! The remaining three are doing great and took very well to the tiger bloom/molasses mix that I give them. They're starting to get a heavy smell outside too....I got some big bloom as well but I'm holding off on any more ferts until I flush some more to get rid of the remaining termites....that sounds so damn funny.....termites in the soil, ha. So yeah I'll snap some pics after this post to show my gorgeous girls.
