Your plants are beautiful. I have a couple of white widow ladies. Although I like the smoke, I haven't had much luck with quantity/per plant. However, I like a short, squat bushy plant with at least 4-6 stalks. To begin a grow cycle, I start pinching when my plants have opened leaves to the third node; after that, I pinch back every third or fourth leaf set until they start to mature. I take all of my clones before I put them into 12/12. The way I tell a plant that is about ready to be finished is by the density of the bud, with the buds extending from node to node to node. I know that last couple of weeks is maddening, but it is better to wait a little longer than shorter. When I start to harvest, I work from the top down. I stake out my stalks, allowing maximum light throughout the plant. After trimming from the top, I wait for at least a week before grooming again. I never have cut an entire plant down at harvest time. My complete harvest of a plant takes close to another month. Not real sure if this is what is reccommended by the "professional" growers, but it works for me. However, I am not a commercial grow, I am just a med mj user. I am LEGALLY only allowed to have six plants with three in bud. My "med mj" caregiver is also allowed to grow the same at her house. This may be bending the law a bit, but technically, anything less than 24 girls is a misdemeanor. The DEA helicopters are flying over at least once a day. Two large busts (several hundred plants) have happened within a mile of my home in the last couple of weeks. With my little grow, utilizing 1000 MH for veg grow, then two four hundred watt HPS, I doubt if I leave enough of a footprint to harass me...Plus, I am legal, legal, legal; have been for years. Here in the Matanuska Valley (home of MTF), it is probably not a far reach to say easily 1 out of five homes in the neighborhood have some level of grow. bearsbuds

Im curently growing white widow and they're not ready, not for the sort of stoned effect white widow should give you, needed at least 9 weeks, 8 weeks is just a myth unless you flower under 11 hours of light!!

my white widow is a week or 2 away from bein ready and oh mean are this last few weeks somethang alse!! my plant for some reason seems to be maturing faster in the bottom, the top tallest and biggest colas are at least a week behind for some reason that i belibe to be the fact that they where to close to my 400W hps there for being hotter and maturing slower, does that sound right? so next weeken ill prolly harvest the botom colas and leave the top colas for another week on 11/13 :bigjoint:
