White widow, week 11 flower, little to no amber?

[woodydude]

The reason I mentioned the posability of a reveg or maybe immature when put into flower is I have grow a lot of WW, some under T5's too and none ever went near 11 weeks. I was hydro however so if you are in soil that could be part of the reason. If you only vegged for 4 weeks from seed, it is possible they were not sexually mature when you flipped them, this would account for the 11 weeks. I doubt very much if the long flowering is your lights or any kind of deficiency, they look really good to me apart from the lack of ambers. Of course, none of this applies if they were clones. The height of the plant doesnt really matter to me, number of internodes and flowering sites does!! LOL, After all, bud doesnt grow on stretchy stems! I think it could simply being a case of patience with this grow and for future grows, make sure they are sexually mature before flipping. Nice job though fella, keep up the good work and dont worry too much, its all a learning curve! W

I'm growing with a simple ebb and flow setup. The plants started in a rockwool plug, then within a day or two I put the plug into a 4" rockwool cube. After 3 weeks, they were out of the plastic nursery tray cover thing, I put them in the 5" hydroton planters and into the ebb and flow. About 1 week of veg in there (with 8 lights vs 2 in the nursery setup), then on to flowering cycle.

I've been using one. The big bud in the pic is looking ready. It is not growing any new calyx's and it is at maybe 10% amber now

 

[wildcajun]

How cloudy are the tricones ?

Looks like you are using a similar setup to mine with the small 2x2 T5 those pics of the buds have me pretty pumped in what I may be able to expect. Looking good

I started seeing more amber, alot in some places. The newer growth calyx's started reclaiming the hairs. So I did a partial harvest. Left some small buds and lots of popcorn on the plant to ripen, I'm guessing 25-30% more to add to this pile.

I only have a prior grow to compare which did not produce as much. Does this look like a good harvest for a plant that was grown under T5's in a 1'x2'x2'h space? The buds are as thick as they look wide.

can you do another pic with something in it to compare the buds to size wise like a lighter or something?

nice grow looks like you can up your nute regiment for next grow meaning hit them a little harder on all stages of growth hey Dark i think there not goin to be really huge buds being there t'5 grow but i am very impressed neither the less Job well done dude can you imagine if he had them inder 1000 watts

Thanks man! Generally I think my PPMs were:
300-400 seedling (2 weeks)
700-800 starting veggie growth (1 week)
1200 veggie growth (1-2 week)
1500-1800 flowering

But I was not completely careful and didn't change the res as mich as I shoudl have so the PPM may have gone up and down a little too much in the flower cycle.

I put a tape measure on the far right. Sorry it got cut off a little bit. The buds are freaking HEAVY!!! The pics do not do them enough justice. I never had buds like that.

 

[darkdestruction420]

lol, i dont know how i missed it, i carefully looked over the pic like 3-4 times trying to get a sense of scale on it.
they look good, well done. Your dry weight will be around 1/4-1/3 of what it weighs wet.
