Alrighty.. can't wait to see how much that White Widow has fattened up last week..
Also I always use http://tinypic.com/ to upload my images.. and I think you can upload high res. images up to 10mb.

Day 91:
August 31, 2009

(Day 49 of 12/12)

We are now seven weeks into the 12/12 stage and the colas on a few of the plants have gotten so heavy that I have had to stake them down just so they don't fall over due to their weight. One of the TrainWreck plants actually did bend all the way down to the ground right before my eyes this afternoon. Luckily for me that stem was still strong enough that it didn't snap.

I also got a pleasant, yet unexpected surprise today. I've actually had a suspicion for a while but today I have confirmed without a doubt that one of my White Widow plants is actually a "White Bang" instead. What happened was that one of my White Widow plants got pollinated by one of my Big Bang plants on my last grow and a seed must have got mixed in by mistake. It is a truly unique plant. It has the body of a White Widow for the most part, but the density, abundance of leaves and the unmistakable fruity scent of the Big Bang! I can't wait to try this one after it cures.

Pics 1-8: business as usual, colas are really starting to swell!

Pics 9-10: the "White Bang" by itself and with a size comparison with a 12 ounce beer bottle.

Pic 11: Great White Shark.

Pic 12: Lemon Skunk.

Pics 13-14: the same White Widow plant I have been showcasing since the beginning.

Pics 15-16: another White Widow plant that has the longest cola I have ever seen (almost 20 inches long) with a size comparison with a 24 ounce can of Arizona tea. For those of you not familiar with Arizona tea cans, they are basically the same size as two regular 12 ounce soda cans stacked on top of each other. Pretty fucking big!

These plants are looking straight out of control!!

How could you NOT hit your goal? What would you say is the average length per cola? Width?

Compared to last time? How do you think you are doin?

Well congrats man!

PS: What's up with all the browning on the Lemon Skunk?

Beautiful job man.. Now I have a benchmark to compare my future grows to.
Wish I could rep you up again, gotta pass some around first ;)

Cheers,

Thanks, gentlemen!

Jesse, I am definitely getting more confident about hitting my goal and then some every time I water them when I see how much bigger they have gotten. I'd say the average length per cola is around 14 inches or so and the width would be probably the same size or just a little bit bigger than a soda can. I want to take the longest and fattest cola and measure it versus a Pringles can when they are finished! I think this grow is going better than the last one for sure.

Oh, and what do you mean by browning? I might just be half asleep still, but I'm not sure what you mean.

Well it looks like the leaves are dying off oddly in one spot...

Different than the rest of the plant.

My plants started to look like that in ONE area, I thought it was nothing, then I found mold there.

Just want to make sure nothings up for you!

I'm going ten weeks (70 days) under 12/12 which is essentially about nine weeks of actual flowering. I like my buds a little bit overripe though. It all depends on the type of high you enjoy, my friend. The longer you let it go, the "stonier" the high will be.

Jesse, good call. I'll make sure to pull some buds back and peek in there to check for mold. I have never had a problem with mold while growing before, only when they were drying. But it is always better to be safe than sorry for sure.

Ain't that the truth!!

What your rh% in the flower chamber?

I am on my way to pick up a used 65 pint dehumidifier for $125. I can't get my humidity to stay below 52-55% Too high for me! I got mold on colas about the size of that Arizona can...half or more of them were ruined!

I've got my humidity steady at around 45% or so. I have seen it as high as 57% but as low as 39% but I have five Damp-Rid containers on my grow room floor. Those things are great.

Hey Dill I suscribed and your grow is amaazing. I am a noobie and I am wondering if you can post up your nute schedule? How often do you water since day one and all the way through flowering? and then when are you feeding?

Nice job, DillWeed...
What converted you to a grow-tent?
I plan on buying one this week.
I wanted to get a grow tent because it makes everything a hell of a lot easier. It is easier to manipulate the environment as well as disguising the smell while using a tent.

I know I will be buying a Grow Tech tent sometime in the next 6 months.

I LOVE my homemade veg tent, but I want a bad ass one for flower!

Once you get one, where there wasn't one before....it all makes sense :lol::hump:
