beautiful looking plants man..i am growing some snow white as well, they are about 1 month old and looking very nice...i was just wondering how tall yours were when you started flowering and how tall they are now..thanks

Thanks dude. Attached is a pic from Day 1 flower. I never measured them, but I guess they were about 13-15"'. They basically doubled in size when flowering. but, not in height, mine got fat and bushy even without topping, completely filled my floor space and I had to change my fan to a tower fan to make some more room. I still got plenty of head room in my grow space!

Good work! Snow White is some PRIME bud! I had the pleasure of smoking it last summer while in Amsterdam. Got it from Rasta Baby Coffee Shop. The smoke is soft and smooth with a great Sativa up high! smells great too!

Cheers matt, that's good to hear I never tried it myself, but I'm a big white widow fan which is why I went for this white strain. The plant I harvested last week is now curing, so a few more weeks before I get to sample it properly. Can't wait!

Thanks very much for the comments and taking the time to read my entire grow journal! I hope it was a good read for you. Before I started my grow, I sat down at my PC with a big fat spilff and read loads of journals on here from start to finish. Videoman and Major Toke's journals were stand out ones for me.....very inspirational. But there are tonnes of other good ones as well since then. I can't keep up with them all to be honest.

Best of luck with your grow mate. Hope you enjoy your new favourite hobby!

ok, I'm off to the post office now to pick up my new seeds that I missed the delivery for yesterday! A new journal will be started in the next week or so documenting their life! Watch this space.

Thanks man!!

Ok, so it's been a week since I harvested my first plant, these buds are curing now and are feeling/smelling much better ever day!! Nice!

I just checked the trichs from the main cola on another one of my girls that is looking a bit nutrient drained and they are pretty much all turning a nice amber colour. I managed to get some pics through my magnifier, see attached!

So I'm chopping down this cola today. There is one other candidate for the chop as well, not checked the trichs on this one yet though. I'll post some pics later of what I cut down.

So I just chopped down the main colas from 2 of my girls at Day 50 flowering, leaving the lower buds. I've now only got 3 full plants left and I'll probably harvest their cola's after the weekend. The reamaining 3 girls are the greenest and healthiest which is why I'm letting them go for a little longer.

I'll leave the lower buds to ripen/fatten up for another week then I'll harvest the rest!

Here's some pics of what I just cut...I'm not quick drying any of this. These buds ar destined for a nice long slow drying/curing process, just how it should be done!

ohhhhhhhhhh now that is nice!

Great looking buds. Let us know how much you yield total and per watt once you're done if possible.

Fantastic!! thats all I can say. rep rep

grower of the month snow white!

Very nice Snow White.

So those that you are curing went for 8 wks in flower?

Oh yeah you said 50 ds.
It would have been nice if you could have held out another few weeks.

Thanks very much guys for the nice comments.

Cloud9, "grower of the month"....LOL...not sure about that man! But I'll take that title anyway! Do I get a prize?? LOL Oh yes.........I do!! Lots of big fat buds for me! HEHEHEHEHE

Thank you, thank you!

I kind of am holding out to be honest, in the fact that I am staging my harvesting for experimental purposes. I've still got 3 full very healthy plants that will have the cola's harvested next week some time I think. Then I am leaving lower buds for another week or so I can lower the lights and let them fatten up a bit more.

Snow White is supposed to finish in 55-60 days, so I'm kind of following this guideline, but also watching the trichs to see how they change/develop.

Day 106 from seed - Day 53 Flowering

The 2 colas I harvested last week are smelling/feeling/looking great. They are getting dry on the outside so I'll be moving to the curing stage in the next couple of days. There's still loads of moisture in the middle of the buds.

The buds I left to fatten up after cutting the colas, seem to be doing just that....check out the first pic below. I will be harvesting these buds at the end of the week.

The other pics are of my 3 full plants that I have not cut at all yet. These colas will also be going at the end of this week, again, leaving the lower buds for another week. Although I might cut one tomorrow, just cos it's a really nice thing to do!

you siad ur keeping all leaves and trimming right? cause if not ill come pick em up form ya. saeve them and make some dank hask or hask oil. when u can tell us the weight of all bud and then hte weight of the trimmings.

Yes mate, keeping all trim for sure. I don't expect to have enough to make much decent hash, but that's my plan anyway.

I can't wait to see the harvest on this one.

thanks, well you will not have to wait long my friend!

I'm cutting another cola today. Then the last 2 colas go on Friday, plus the lower buds from the plants I harvested from last week. Then I will just have 3 plants with lower buds on that I will keep flowering for one more week. Next Friday it will all be harvested and I will be turning my lights off and cleaning/modifying my flowering space for my next grow! Happy Days!!

what you growing next? and if not decided can i suggest a strain 2 you?

I have already got my seeds for my next grow actually. I'm going for normal (not feminised) seeds this time, from Mandala. Satori and Hashberry are the strains I have gone for. It looks like they produce great plants/buds and they're such good value for money.

But you can suggest a strain to me anyway, I might consider it in the future sometime.

Day 54 Flowering

I've just chopped down the colas from 2 more plants, leaving only 1 full plant left now. As before, lower buds have been left to pack on more weight for another week. More harvesting to follow later this week, but for now, check out the pics of what I have just cut and trimmed. It is all now hanging in my box drying. The buds I cut last week are now curing.

you should give water curing a try with some of your bud. You be able to smoke it in a week. only down side is they will lose there dank smell and lose more weight but only b/c so much stuff is flushed out.
