I really didn't see the really bad spots though. Maybe as the plant gets bigger it will be able to handle the concentration better and the nutes will have mellowed out too! :-?

I really hope so. Thanks for staying positive and rooting for #3!!

Okay ladies and gents.. I skipped an update yesterday. I have been working on finding the right amount of days between waterings. I watered Saturday evening and then again this morning. Looks like 2.5 days is good for my plants right now. I use about 1/4 a gallon i'd say. Basically until it comes out of the bottom of my pot. I bring the plants into the shower to water them.. LOL NOT while I am showering! Just saying that is where I put them (in the shower) when I water them so they can have a little bit of "run off" or whatever.

I found an opportunity to add another light down below for some lower vegging. I haven't aimed any lights directly on the lower parts of the plant until now. I let #3 have it from 5pm-1am and then Charlotte had it from 1am-9am.

So basically at any given time, one plant has 4 lights and the other has 3. I'd like to get another one of those "cord to bulb" dealies.. But they are like $9 at homedepot... $9 is an outrage. I refuse to pay that for a damn cord to a bulb. Better off just buying a mini extension cord, getting a plug-to-bulb thing.. That'd run me half the price. Maybe i'll do that.

also, a few days ago I swapped out my fan for a larger fan. This fan has more power and is able to cool down the plants much better. The other fan still rocks though!

Funny story.. So, #3 is always reaching up. I mean, sometimes she is reaching DIRECTLY UP in the air.. And it sucks because in order for the light to be close to both plants, I have to tip the board diagonally.. Since #3 reaches higher than Charlotte. So last night I grabbed #3 and just like, "shoved" down on his leaves.. Just patted them down.. and she chilled out! lol... I had never EVER seen her leaves stand normally until I did that. It was pretty funny.

Welp... here are the pics.

New light over there on the left


Charlotte lookin' good


#3 with her new burns... but gettin' some rays on her side


Oh yeah, how's that feel on your side baby?


You're just getting all the attention with pictures today, aintchya

Dude, I don't care what you say to the contrary, #3 is looking damn fine! There are only just a couple crispies and you at least don't have to worry about almost decapitating your honies so you are doing very well all around. How long are you planning on keeping them in veg? Do you know how much they spread out in flower?

Ya know what though...

it's all about good genetics. My first grow and harvest was mexi bagseed. I now have PPP x Sour Diesel in flower and the plants have SO much more dense foliage than the bagseed.

On another note... White Widow is killer. A near 100% indica that will straight knock you on your ass if grown to it's full potential.

#3 is doing pretty well. She has a few burns but nothing life threatening. You're right. Maybe I don't give her enough credit. She's a monster!

How long to veg is the big debate. I know they grow 2-3 times in size. I have another 10" or so in height to go before worrying about that. As far as width, I can just tie 'em down if they get too outta control.

They are 22 days old.. What do you think? I was going to wait until at LEAST 1 month old..

Its all about good genetics? C'mon... you could at least rub my ego and say it's about the gardener too!! lol

I'm a lightweight smoker but something drew me to white widow. Maybe it's the hype and the fact that it's well-known to knock you on your ass... I want to be taken to that level. Take me oh beautiful White Widows... Take me!

maybe if it isnt tooo much trouble you could flower some at a month then the other ones 2 weeks after? may average out your yield but you get to try some of that danky dank

Unfortunately I don't have the resources to do them at 2 separate times :(. If I did though, that would be a great idea!

hey curb, try puttin some kind of tree bark or clay pellets ontop of your soil. It blocks the light from evaporating the water in your soil. Ill be tuning in for your grow. swish

"Its all about good genetics? C'mon... you could at least rub my ego and say it's about the gardener too!!"

Dude, cuz that part goes without saying! :eyesmoke: LoL

You could do like I am doing and clone them and put the bigguns into flower while the clones set. you could just get a rubber maid tub to veg the clones till your grow room clears out... Maybe the logistics of that will make it infeasible.

On my thread you were saying that you water them in the shower. Are you using fresh straight tap water? I can't remember you talking about the water in the first few days.

There is certainly nothing wrong with growing them out for a month or even more! Since you have all that space you could deal with shoots that are threatening to become too big by tying them down like you said! Go for the whole month! If branches become too long you can always make them into clones and slap them right into flower to keep the space from being cramped or wasted.

As of yet Im not having a problem with them drying out but I will keep that in mind for when they turn into water suckers! Thanks for that idea. I wouldnt have thought of it.

Great ideas bro! I'm not sure if I will go with cloning only for the reason I know that I will wind up with way more weed than I need. lol. I don't really have any friends who smoke and I am not a fulltime smoker. Just the weekends for me.
Although... The whole idea about cutting branches if they get too big and then letting them hang out in a rubbermaid vegging is VERY tempting.. lol.. I guess it would also give me an "excuse" to clone... like.. i dont want to.. but I mean, if I HAVE to... then I will. LOL

I just sat here for about 5 mins contemplating that whole cloning thing.. lol.. I need to stay focused on these ones and see how it goes. If you tempt me into taking clones I am going to wind up with more pot than I can even smoke! haha

Take those clones and go on a mad planting spree across the land! Then go back to see how they've gotten on four months later!!

Haha.. I live downtown.. There are enough hobos, junkies and potheads around this place that I'm sure they'd hack down a seedling and smoke that shit before it even began flowering.

That picture is awesome
