Ok I just looked at my pg&e bill and the original cost was $79 but there was a "electric adjustments" subtracting $31. I'm not sure the reason for the adjustment, but I am perfectly fine with that. Now my grow seems a bit more on par with other peoples bills for similar systems. Sorry for any confusion for the incredibly cheap price I threw out there.

After some calculations the cost for my grow would be about $50 total.

Day 45 flowering.

12/12 light cycle.

Finally started to swell up, and it should get very crowded very soon. the green poison has a bunch of really good looking colas on it, the whole plant is filling out nicely. The white widow has been getting extremely thick and sticky, not as tall as the gp but wayyyyy more frost, and this girl should be rock hard. Both girls smell awesome of course, the ww is smelling like a lemonhead candy. the green poison is smelling sweet and kinda earthy maybe rashberry type smell, can't quite figure it out.

They are really dark green, the ppms are at 700 for the GP, and 830 for the WW. I have just been topping off with RO water and phing to 5.5-5.7
The bottom of the GP is getting a lighter green so that is a good sign, a lot of fan leaves have been dieing off giving more light to the lower buds, all I have to do is pull them off. Next reservoir change, I am going to aim for a ppm around 800-1000.

It's day 48 and the girls still have a couple weeks to go it seems. It seems like they have started to focus on swelling up now. The green poison is finally starting to get a good amount of frost. The white widow amazes me with how frosty it is still getting. I will have to get some bud porn up pretty soon. The hairs are all white on both plants still, the trichomes are looking pretty milky on the WW, havent looked under my 40x jewler's loupe yet. I am guessing the inconsistent light cycle has contributed to the long flowering time, none the less they still look awesome. I am just getting impatient, finals done and nothing to do but wait. haha

Any guesses on how long till harvest based on day 45s photos? 3 weeks?

Day 50 flowering

I know all these photos are very large files, if you view in another page you can zoom in and the trichomes are very easy to see in the photos.

Light about 1.5 feet above the tops, the GP overshadowing the WW, WW snowstorm 1,2,3, Green poison cola starting to get plump.

I would guess 2-3 weeks left still.... Anyone?

Hey guys, this cola is from a grow when I only used the white 300w LED and the 100W blackstar. It is off of the blueberry gum plant I had, weighed 5.0 grams dried (very short veg time & in soil). I think this should be a good representation of how much bigger my grow will get, especially since I have over three times as much light on this grow.

Found a picture of a WW nug from the plant that I got the seed I am growing now (WW#3).

I suspect that the Blueberry Gum plant (picture in previous post) pollinated this WW plant (nug close up) because they were growing right next to each other and the BG hermied and the sack must of burst (lots of seeds in the BG, compared to the WW). Growing the seed, the WW#3 had vigorous vegetative growth like the BG, unlike the WW. It is flowering like the WW, very compact, extremely resinous. The smell however is not at all like pure white widow, it has a very candy like smell with a hint of lemons. I think it smells like lemonheads. I think I will keep this strain going for a while. Harvest can't come soon enough.

oh yeah, I didn't have enough time to finish off the WW for another week, thats why it is all milky trichs

Green poison is supposed to be done at 7 weeks but mine is looking like it will be done around 9-10 all the hairs are white still. The white widow hairs have started to turn brown, but only very few of them, might be done at 9 weeks. I looked at the trichs with a loupe and the ww has some milky, but still a lot of clear. GP mostly clear

Reviewing my photos, it looks like the first day of flower was more around what I said day 15 was. This is going off of when the pistils and buds first start to show. This would put me in the 5th week of flowering (day 37ish). The remaining time for these strains is much closer to the time given by the breeders.

The day 50 pictures would be day 35. Look closer to day 35 anyone?
