White Widow - flowering w/ CFL's

Also, I'm noticing a lot more calyx growth that pistil growth which is what I like to see. The makings of some dense nuggets...

Nice grow ma man owz da clone doin.Wiv it goin 2 b yur new mum wot kinda setup u usin ie:veg box n lightin 2 keep her veggin.18/6

I have my room split up in two chambers, flower/veg. I'm going to add more light in the veg when I get back in town and in about 3 weeks gonna take 3 clones.

Av u got any pics of da overall setup?

yo this is pretty awsome.i just started my 5th day of flowering today after a month of veg. but no sign of sex yet that i can tell. its also whitewidow but i think yours is more indica dominant. im growing in a stealth cab in my garage, not too small either, i fit 2 plants in there under approx. 150 actual watts of cfl. good growing to ya.

Back from vacation and glad to see that my girl is still in tact. The buds are starting to fill in a little bit more. I have the lower branches tied down to get better lighting, but I'm thinking about LST' ing the very top. I was looking back at some pictures of last years grow which was LST'd and I really liked the outcome. All most all of the bud sites were at a level plane and received the same amount of light. I think I'm going to start tomorrow.


Day 21 into flowering:
15 3/4'' tall

Yeah man, definitely looks indica dominant. I know WW is 60%/40% indica/sativa and I can see it.

not bad,u deff want more lights

grats buddy looks freaken great

im into day 8 of flowering... our grows are turning out to be nicely worked and i cant wait to see the final product... go go cfl grow!!.. i found that flouro shop lights suppliment nicely and will help fatten up those buds. If you want keep checking out my setup and after harvest well compare.. I dont have all the fansy shit like alfalfa and seeweed. Im hitting up advance nutrients.. for some dr hornsby for my next grow gonna do a three plant tier i have to make the stand yet but woohoo i love this shit!!

It's amazing how much grow takes place in 8 days, especially during the flowering period. My camera took a crap so I haven't been able to get any new pics. The top cola is almost the width of a large lighter and all of the other top buds are sparkling with trich's. A week ago there were none, and now the buds are covered.

I did some trimming yesterday. The plant was getting sooo bushy and the leaves are so wide that 6-8 of the lower colas weren't getting much light. I trimmed 3 branches completely from the main stalk (kind of like a Y, all 3 cuts the same distance apart) which has given me more space to tie down the rest of the branches. Now every bud site is being lit up completely. I also have the main stem tied down and it's now shaped like an "s". I almost have an even canopy of buds. I would say that the lower branches are only about 2 inches from the main cola. I also upgraded two of the 26 watt CFL's for two 42 watt CFL's. My temps have been staying between 73-84 degrees and humidity at 40-50%. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the humidity should be around 30% during flowering to lower the chances of mold. I'm hoping the additional heat put off from the new 42 watt bulbs will lower the humidity.

So today marks 29 days into flowering, 60 days total into the grow.

I'll try to get pics as soon as possible

NICE... i cant wait to see pics... i just got off of work and picked up some blackstrap molassas hope it works good.. im now 18 days into flowering and the tranformation is picture perfect... im glad were around the same harvest i want to compare... mine went from 13 inches in after veg to now over 27 inches!!!!!! IM FUCKING STOKED Just make sure your moving the air around to keep that mold and bugs at bay.. your aim point should be around 30-40 the lower the better but i havent got any rot or mold around 45 % so its kinda a keep an eye on it kinda deal

your missing one of the 17 nutrients your plant is gonna be shit!!!!





...................JK man she looks great.

Yeah, with the bigger bulbs the humidity has been a consistent 30%. The trichromes shimmer in the light and some of the hairs are starting to wither just a tad. I'm going to start molasses on my next watering.

I forgot to mention that I came across about 70 seeds all the same strain. I saw and smoked the bud they came from which was pretty damn good, so I'm excited to say the least. As soon as I found them I germinated 5 and planted another 5 in some soil. The next day all 5 germinated seeds had their first root and went in the ground as well. I will start a new thread for the newest grow as soon as i pick up a new digi camera.

I love your set up bro, Just moved to inner city cali and I'm getting ready for my first indor grow. I think I'll be going all cfl's, but anyways great stuff man, cant wait to see the final product.

Nice looking plant. Looking nice and green.

Right on, thanks guys. Still no camera. sorry So like i said I came across a bunch of maui wowie seeds and planted 11. All 11 sprouted and are doing great. One of the sprouts is starting to grow purple leaves. I don't know if this strain is purple or if it's from the cold night temps. Either way, I'm looking forward to sexing these babies. I'm hoping for at least 5 females. I also have a 9 1/2 inch white widow clone that has been flowering for about 3 weeks. The bigger white widow plant is at 40 days I think...and it smells so sweet and fruity!!! I'd say about 15% of the hairs have turned brown and 5% of the trich's amber, about 50% cloudy, and the rest clear. I heard that it's good to cut the lights down to 8 hours for the last wo weeks when harvesting white widow. It helps the plant mature better, and discourges new growth. Hope to have some pics up soon.

PLease update!!!! I am goin to be flowering with cfls and am ancious to see how your babys turn out. I am goin to need a lot of cfls though my plant is in week of veg!!!!!! Anyone have any tips besides get hps I know i know i should have hps for the size of plants. Have three plants bout 30 inch high and kinda bushy. Hopping all are female but almost hope that least one of them turn out to be male just so i dont have to supply as much light. Anyone have nay tips on what kidna of cfls to get. I have two cords now and plan on getting another and 3 y adapters so a total of 6 cfls pumping out close to 4000 lumens and hopfully close to 700 watts. ANY HELP WOULD BE NICE!!!!

cfl lumens dont add up. Just go with as many soft white cfls as you can without out sending temps through the room.

Cannallearn------ Yeah i have posted on bossmans few itmes here not sure if you were talking bout him or me.....ANYWAY i have used only two twenty watt OTT LIGHTS for 15 weeks now of veg for three plants and they are bushy full no stretching took place and all seem to be very healthy. I was using Mirical grow form bout week 4 once a week. The stems is what i was most worried about...one realy good sign is if you have a think stem and no stretching...If itys green and thoughs two things are taken care of then you are looking alright. I feel like i have concored germination....now VEG. Now is the real challange. FLOWERING!!!???? AHHHHH. So scared of males first off. and i know i need tons more light. If i could afford buying tons ott lights i would cuz i really think they do work amazingly....just no one knows bout them yet. I have read few books from barns noble and havnt came across a thing. Starting flowering later this week and plan on picking up 3 more sockets 5 y adapters and 8 23 watt cfls this with the two ott lights will give me a total of 29,000 lumens which i believe is okay for a a max of three plants. Also what i LOVE about using many cfls is that you can position each bulb right next to each flower. Not exactly sure what nutes i want for flowering yet im thinkinig bloom booster a mg product...hear some risky things but i also here they take off. Just need to make sure you flush plant really well two weeks befor. I know i rambled here a lil bit but as for your question and anyone out there question DR OTT.

OTT LIGHTS ARE AMAZING.
if you do get then the 20 watts have a protective cassing just pop that shit off to get more light.
