You got it.

Beautiful babies on here! I need some help with mine though. I am at 17 days of flowering (about where you are dangledo). They have been doing good, but the leaves are turning yellow and some are falling off. Here's what I have done:

Tap Water after sitting for 3 days
1000 W HPS
3 gallon buckets (I know they are a little small)
Fox Farm nutes and soil
12/12 for 17 days
Water with nutes every other watering
Temp at 75-87

They were doing great until the yellowing which started just a few days ago. Below are pictures from today. Any advice would help! Thanks!

I just ordered my 5 pack of feminized white widow from Nirvana! Wish me luck! check out my grow cabinet build in my sig!

Rip... if your plants are 21 days and an inch or 2 tall there is something else wrong than temp. I think the little plants like the warmth along with some humidity kind of how new clones do. My WW was in plus 90 degree temps for the first 2 weeks until I got AC going. Almost sounds like your soil is to hot with nutes or over watering could be an issue. what do they look like when they dieing? do the leaves dry up? or turn yellow? what soil are using? does it have nutes already in it?

it looks like it shrivel up and is dark green with white fuzz.
I think I was over watering them.

Some parts of the leaves look dried up.And yes yellow at the tips. I learned I am not to follow the instructions that come with the Fox Farm Fert. I was killing them with Fert.

My soil is potting soil and perlite and vermiculite.

I am sorry to inform RIU that I dont know what Nuts are sept for mine lol. So now I do not have any nuts in it.

Thank you for your help I am down to 3 WW.

But I am able to keep the temp at 71low and 87 high.

No unfortunately Rip is having a heat issue which is stunting his growth.

Rip have you figured out the heat situation yet?

Yes I am able to keep it at 71L 87H it is only at 87 for about 4 hours then it goes back down.

My seedsman feminised white widow seeds just arrived, 3 germinating right now. Will post pics soon

Love a monster, I have read and heard as well that if you induce flowering on an outdoor plant for up to 14 days, that the plant could in fact run its flowering course. Try and stick it out for another week, possibly more.

Really?Im not sure myself, but thanks for the new info, il try to find some backing up info on that and then we shall see what will happen.

Your temp is not the issue so lets concentrate on the medium. I recommend a transplant into a bigger pot. Use fresh soil with no fert or Nutes (short for nutrients) do not water right away. you want to give the roots a clean place to migrate to.
When you do water only water one side of the pot. make sure it is a measured amount of water relitive to your pot size meaning just enough water to moistin the soil mix but do not saturate the pot. Now this is the most impotant!! when watering or feeding your ph must be between 5.8 to 6.2 this will allow the plant to absorb the nutes remaining in the soil mix. Your girls could be suffering from nute lockup.
You need to cool the soil down from the salt build that has occured. You should notice expedential growth in a week. From there try to coax the root to move around the pot by watering/feeding on diffent sides each time. When weed is small it can not absorb the amount water you are giving them so the water has to evaporate completly before watering again. If you must nute them when they are young...no more tha 300ppm of food otherwise it is toxic. The imature plant will tell you when it needs food by tuning florecent green at the top. It will tell you it needs water when the fan leaves droop and there is no weight to the soil. Look for these signs before watering or feeding. Good luck bro

halfway there, stressed a little.

Ok started to see lots of amber so I pulled her at 9 weeks 5 days of flowing. Here are some pics of my med grow white widow. This is just the top half of the plant. The bud next to the lighter is 100gr. Going to smoke some of the finger hash off her now!!

A quick question peeps,

My ww has been showing a few white hairs for 2 weeks now but no buds forming, she seems so very slow.
is she a slow flowering plant?? how many weeks did yours go for???

Thanks

I put mine into total darkness for 72 hr to kick start the budding and she had popcorn buds all oven in a week. I let her go for 9 1/2 weeks flower.

ok just tryed the hash off this girl and it blew my head OFF. Super expando!! Iam sure glad I have clones of her growing strong cus she is a keeper!

Now all I have to do is figure how to cure a plant? Dont have any jars big enough for a PLANT? Here I can only have 2oz dryed off the plant for me but as Iam a care giver I can also have 2oz for my client but the bad girl looks like shell be a lb easy so I have to keep most on the plant to be legit. Ill take the whole thing (- 2oz for me and my client) to one of the herb clubs in Denver. I have to find one to take her (sad) Hmmmm? I wonder if any of those guy come here? I guess Ill just hang her some place cool and dark with some air flow. How would you guys cure her seeing how I cant put her into jars?

Riight. I hope mi not gonna ruin anything here. But this is not a 100% pure white whidow grow. Infact it aint WW atall. However, its one of the most awesome cross of WW I ever smoked in my hole life. What im talknig about is a spannish starin, that not really many people know about, outside spain. With imo is a really shame. Its called Moby Dick, and its a cross of WW and Jack Herer, with we botho all just love done we

Anywho. Im like 6½ week into flowering. Or actually more like 10. But I had a huge light leak for a few days, and they went back t flower.

Growing Medium: Some cheap ass soil from the local Supermarket

Lights: 400W HPS

Nutrients: Biogreen ( from Agrimixx http://biogreen.nl/info.aspx?pg=156 )

Breeder of Strain: Dinafem

Room Specifications: Its kind off a ghetto setup in my 1room apartment. About 2M high. 1M whide and 50CM deep. No vents but a circulation fan.. Black plastic bags to keep is light tight. And the door is opened when the lights is on.

They look great!!

Sound like an awesome cross!

I love JH and I love WW. Together they must be awesome! Though from your pics i would say it leans more towards the WW parent?

Either way it looks

I just plopped my white castle seed into the rockwool cube last night, White castle is a cross between white widow and ice from nirvana-shop.com...would such a strain be acceptable for the white widow thread?
