Thanks for all the tips guys.. i think im just going to wait it out with the flush, fawk the nutes...

seems like a goof 30% are yellow.. a good 5-10 fan leafs have already fallen off.

from my experience id say those crystals look pretty amazing right now. so milky. thats when its at its prime but yeah i think two weeks is about right for how they are looking. maybe even a couple days earlier.i would not go over two weeks though. plus you dont really wat ur buds flushed and entire month b4 harvest. but excellent job at getting them where they are. beautiful buds. im not much of the couch lock kind my self thats why i say it look perfect now...

Yea if your looking for a couch stoned then 2 weeks might even be a little long for WW. Watch it closely but DAMMIT! That bud looks good. Nice grow.

to my utter surprise the 1 northern lights plant i have going looks to be far from ready... i would say 30% are cloudy, rest are clear... WTF! damn its taking a wile for these trichomes to change. I WISH i had waited atleast another week before i started to flush but oh well... I will let it go another week absolute minimum. I think im going to let it go as long as possible before i see problems.

With that said, what are some signs of problems-as far s flushing for too long- (if thats even possible)?

With buds like that .. i can hardly give advice... Harvest and cure are the harest thing for me/... but, the longer the better.. catch it at first signs of degradation. I have always heard cut it down 45 mins after light cycle begins, buty I can't say for sure.. b/c I have always followed it...

also.. can you not flush too long???

No, you can NOT flush too long... Plants do not get hurt by water and they can get all the nutes they need from whatever life is left in the foliage on the plant.... Some people call flowering period from onset of 12/12, but it is when the plant decides to show that it staarts to flower.... I have had girls not show for over two weeks of 12/12.... And the bud does look good... You could cut anytime now and it is not going to make that big of a difference.... One fella earlier said don't cut early, it's better to cut late... THAT IS FLAT OUT WRONG..... Anyway, nice plants.... Too bad White Widow is not known for being a high THC content weed.... Then you would realy be crippling your friends

This batch is from 420-seeds.com. The rest of my beans are from the attitude.

Next batch (after the ones i already have flowering) will be violator kush (THC 22% CBD 1.5%). That strain should do more than knock me on my ass. Along with that i plain to do bluberry cheese. I have a few other beans as well but i think winter is better for exotics, summer is better for mass.

have you thought about just cutting clones of plants that you have instead of growing from seed everytime. It will speed up your process and save you money. If you are a coniseour(spelling) you could buy a mix and match from the tude and just cut clones from each one. that way you can continuously grow multiple strains. just a thought. those white widows look good as F*CK tho.

i already took clones, there are 8 clones in my veg box, they are about 4 weeks going... along with clones there is a Kush fem autoflowering dwarf (miffle row on right), there are 2x G13 power skunk (rear row on left), 1x G13 durban posen (middle row on left). rest are clones. So my next batch will be clones of this match.. however, i will be bored at that point, and plain to swith to kush and bb cheese...

Here is a picture of the clones i currently have in my veg box. notice how close nodes are!!

With the clones so close together, how do you get nodes that close together? What kind of light are you vegging and how many clones can you take to 8 weeks at once in a tray that size?

How big would my veg box have to be to maintain 3 mamas and 30 clones?

well i have 12 holes. I usually use all but one (i leave one as an access hole). So i take 11 clones/plants all the way through 12/12 in the same tray until harvest.. I just move the whole pot with plants over to grow box rather then remove plants individually etc.. (that wouldnt be impossible anyhow because the roots get tangled, so there is no way to individually remove pots-thats why i just move all plants while they remain in tubs.). I usually let them get about 8-12 inches tall before i go 12/12 which normally gives me 2-3ft tall plants by the time im done. growth during 12/12 will vary with strain, so dont go by my numbers..If i had more vertical space, i would veg until 20inches, but i dont...

Being that u have 11 plants in a small tray, air stones are a must! (i have about 12ft of air stones in each reservoir. 2x air pumps with 2x hoses per reservoir. I think the air stones are the key to my grow). But with 11 plants in a small box you will end up with roots taking up 50% of your reservoir space. With that said it doesnt hold as much water, so make sure u fill it a lot.. and get air stones airs tones air stones!!

I use a 400wtt mh for vegg. Same cooling concept so the light stay super close to the buds. As you can see there is ZERO heat issues. I really like the cool tubes, altough it will cost over $200 per cool tube once you take into account vent ducting, cool tube, fan etc..

buds still look mostly clear/cloudy. Looks like STILL, another 2 weeks atleast...

This is like day 60 (starting when plant shows signs of sex). It cant be normal to have 50%clear, 35% cloudy, 15% amber at this point, is it?

I had the same issue going with my Dreamweaver, but I cut it today anyway... It was looking fully ripe but the trichs were showing about 15% Amber.... I am too afraid of it spitting male flowers going to long and degrading if I am missing something... Everything in my room that was suppose to be done is over now by at least a week... I'm letting most of it go, but the Dream I couldn't fuck with
