The white widows are at day 24 and looking really good, those buds are proper starting to stack up now! I've started adding AN Big Bud today, started small so as not to overdo it. Mixed up their usual feed a bit weaker, 2ml a litre A&B, then added 15ml Big Bud to the 10 litre mix. The twice daily feeds didn't work out as they didn't get to dry out enough between feeds so most of it just came pouring out the bottom! My one concern is that a few of the leaves on a couple of plants look like something has been chewing holes in them, it's weird though. I've looked them all over really closely about 4 times now since we first noticed it and can't see any sign of pests that could do that so I'm assuming it's something else, like where the leaves have been damaged moving the plants or damage from an early deficiency that has just grown out enough to become obvious. I'm going to have to look into it a bit.
The cheeses, Thelma and Louise, look great. Can't remember if I mentioned it but I repotted them the other day, they were quite rootbound but seem to be doing fine. Just can't wait to flower them now! I'm going to try to do it so that we harvest them 4 weeks after the WW. Which is pretty much now, now I think about it, so I'll maybe give them another day to veg out in the new pots a bit and maybe crop them a little and put them in the flower room tomorrow afternoon.
The bloody stupid clones! Lol one of them is coming on ok, like it finally has some new growth on it that looks fine and you can see a little bit of root underneath, but the second one doesn't seem to be developing at all and I've just realised that the bloody cardboard pot thing I cloned them into is growing fur. I only used them cos I thought it'd remove the risk of transplant stress when they were repotted cos it said the roots could grow through the material! I scored some lines in each side before planting them to make it easier for the roots to get through, planted it in coco and thought the pot would degrade or something. Oops. I've sprayed it with some antifungal stuff top and bottom but think I'll try to pot it up again in clean coco if I have some to see if I can fix it before I give up on it altogether, I feel kind of bad for it, it looks sad.
Thanks so much to everyone who's popped in and given me tips so far, it really is greatly appreciated, any feedback is great and it's been a great help to me, as you can tell by how awesome my girls look lol, and I'm well aware I haven't done it by myself. Long way still to go though, can't get over-confident! Cheers guys :bigjoint:

Massive growth in the white widows since yesterday, hope you can see it in the pics! This is yesterday morning at lights on:20160409_080227[1].jpg
This is this morning:20160409_150308[1].jpg
I got some pics of the weird, chewed looking leaves but I maintain that there is nothing there to have chewed them so there must be something else caused it, this is two leaves off two separate plants, there don't seem to be any new ones coming up like this: 20160409_131003[1].jpg 20160409_131045[1].jpg 20160409_131324[1].jpg 20160409_131158[1].jpg
And the buds are really getting stacked now, it's all very exciting! 20160410_103718[1].jpg

**Edit** Forgot to say, yesterday they got 20ml A & B, 18ml Big Bud, and 15ml silica in their 10 litres of water. One more heavy feed today then I'll take it down a notch for a couple of days as they've always preferred light feeding so I don't want to overdo it, and then in a few days I'm goiing to start using the Advanced Nutrients Overdrive. I think, might need to double check my dates first!

I'm struggling to get the pics on right now, but the White Widows are 34 days since the flip and looking awesome, just getting fatter and fatter, it's so exciting!
The cheeses have been in flower a week, they've had a bit of a growth spurt but nothing drastic yet.
I popped 2 Heisenberg Special seeds in jiffy plugs on the 15th and they sprouted late on the 17th.
My 2 surviving white widow practice clones, well one is doing great but the one I had to transplant because of the peat pot going mouldy isn't looking very well, really wish I could get the pics up cos I need some help with that one!

So these are the pics I was trying to upload yesterday, sorry about the crappy hps pics, I keep forgetting to take some at lights on/off! These are the white widows, and I think there's one of the cheeses in there too.

So, my little Heisenberg Special, first autos and first grow from seed, so I was pleasantly surprised when they sprouted in a couple of days! I've just popped one in for a friend and hopefully that'll be just as easy to get going. 20160418_111358[1].jpg 20160418_111408[1].jpg
And my poor white widow clones... The one on the right has been fine ever since I first potted them up, the other is sickly! I thought it was alright when it started showing some new growth, but then it started to shrivel and go brown? I've been tempted to bin it so many times but that seems cruel, like it's obviously something I'm messing up so it's not her fault really, even if she is frustrating the shit out of me!

I took some clones off Thelma cheese, cos she's the most awesome one, and they're looking pretty good still. 20160418_111424[1].jpg

Pictures of the WW from today & yesterday. So our middle man insists I need to start flushing them now, chop them wednesday, get them hung out over a heater and dried for saturday... We've only had them on 12/12 for 40 days, and they don't seem anywhere near to me but he thinks that because we have a lot of brown pistils, we're done. He brought us some shatter tonight, I was dead excited cos I've wanted to try it for ages. So he gets it out and tells us he mixed it with some of his most recent harvest for us.It was all just leaf. He mixed just leafy plant material in with the shatter to make it go further! Smoking his weed the last week has killed my chest, I'm starting to think he just doesn't understand anything about cannabis, but he's been growing it since the 70s, so I don't understand why he doesn't know which bit of the plant is what you're supposed to smoke, or why he thinks I should just murder my plants in the middle of the flowering cycle?!
Anyway, rant over. White Widow day 39 & 40 of flowering phase 20160423_075847[1].jpg 20160423_075931[1].jpg 20160423_200018[1].jpg 20160423_200100[1].jpg 20160423_200119[1].jpg 20160423_200132[1].jpg 20160424_200117[1].jpg 20160424_200134[1].jpg 20160424_200200[1].jpg 20160424_200218[1].jpg

Whats the harvest time on the widow? i'd try wait it out if its 2 weeks or so otherwise you'll miss out on that extra 20% .. they look awesome though, great canopy!

Everything looks great in there canna. Really filling in nice. I would watch those leaves those that look chewed. They kind of look like you may have been messing around in the canopy and accidentally clipped a couple, happens quite a bit and sometimes looks like bugs, but is not. But it looks like there may be something in there chewing on your leaves but hopefully not.

I have no intention! Why would I work to look after them this long only to fuck them up now? Man's crazy.

Everything I've read says 8-9 weeks but I don't know much about mine cos they just turned up as clones from the dude who reckons I should chop this week. He said he knows what they're capable of and they won't get any better now. I don't know how he thinks he knows that if chops them at 6 weeks though...

Thanks man. There's no bugs in there, well aside from the goddamn gnats but I've got something coming for that, I think it's just old damage I didn't notice at the time I caused it!

I was going to say the same thing! Look at the trichs to see if they are ready. Wait until they are mostly cloudy with a few amber and a few clear. Right now is when these baby's put on the weight, and swell to rock hard nugs. You have done a marvelous job so far, don't let some ninny talk you into doing something your gut says no about! Great job cannacat!

Aw thanks mate, it'd break my heart to chop them down now, I've come this far and want to see them finish. Dude's going on about how it's a business relationship and he can't just rearrange dates cos it's unprofessional but I never told him to arrange it for this week, I was quite clear about it so that ain't on me, if he looks a mug it's his own fault for assuming he could bulldoze me! So there lol. Cheers mate, you've been great :hug:

Nah fuck that man, you'll loose out on terpenes, weight, smoke.. reality is as a business you'd technically be loosing out more chopping early rather than letting them pack on there weight which would bring them 20% more denser and better bag appeal so the extra weeks spent on the girls will end up better in you guys favour as far as money,smoke and quality.. just seems like your guy is a bit gung-ho atm haha
