Ah. Thanks though. Number 3 is at eleven inches. The nodes are rising but would it be best to let them catch up to the top growth before I start flowering?

Thanks RL :3

Honestly No matter what you wait for/do at this point you are gonna LOVE them buds! Its all personal preference at this point my man. Once you flip to flowering they EXPLODE and im not exaggerating, this strain has a good 2 - 2 1/2 foot stretch when you flower. Ive seen it. As long as you keep up on tucking fan leaves for extra penetration you should be golden. I personally go into my grow multiple times a day to tuck and generally check on things, some people cant do this i know but tucking at least once a day is a good bet. Usually you only need to do it when lights come on, thats when all your tucking gets all out of wack(over night).

I have been tucking a lot, probably 4 to 5 times a day. Just because it makes such a difference. Though you don't notice it right away, a day or two later it shows .

Well on RL's note, I would like to thank you all for tagging along this far. All of your advice, tips, and input (negative and positive) has been excellent and greatly appreciated. You've all been great, and I thank you for it all .

Now that number three looks just like number two did a week ago, and is nearly 12 inches, it is time to commence flowering.

I am going to take pictures momentarily for a last and final vegging update. My lights are going to be set so they are off in the day, and on in the night. Thus the lights will not be off until tomorrow morning, but at the crack of dawn they'll get their first taste of 12/12.

Update after some dinner. Gah the munchies win me over >.<

Thank you ^_^!

Well happy Thursday everyone. Here is the final update of the girls in vegetative growth .

I'd like to say again, thank you everyone that has subscribed, and even just popped in, to give advice, input, and tips. You all have helped so much, and now I hope you will all stick around for the best part. Flowering .

Number one is below here. I decided to not LST, and the FIM on here was a failure. She is still gorgeous, and is 17 inches tall. Also, she was the first plant to germinate and break the soil on Easter morning. Ladies and gents, number one .



Here is number two. This in my opinion is a GREAT example of a FIM working. Maybe not to it's fullest, as this FIM was barely lower than the FIM on number 1, but I mean honestly look at the difference. She is a huge bush. She is also 17 inches tall, but is also 20 inches wide. Her nodes are as thick as her main stem, and she is all around the best plant of the three. I present number two !



And lastly, we have the runt..the ugly duckling..number three. She measures in at nearly 12 inches tall. I said when I first made the journal that she would definitely be the run, and she is. The FIM I have her was the lowest of all three FIMS. She took it well, as her nodes are just as strong as number 2's were a week ago. I can tell that even though flowering will be triggered, this plant will look just like number two if not a bit better..and a bit shorter. As you can see many of the leaves that are damaged from the FIM are tucked inward to put light on the nodes. Everything is looking great and healthy, but yet again, they all are XD. Drumroll.....here's number 3 !



Below here is the picture of the grow <3.



Thank you very much everyone. I am re-hooking the timer up, and the girls will have their first tast of 12/12 tomorrow in the morning. I know I should veg. them out at least until 24 inches, but times are tough and medicine is needed.

My only question is this. White Widow X Big Bud takes 8-10 weeks to flower. The time to show its sex is not included within the strains flowering length is it? I never quite knew, but I know everything about the cloudy and amber trichomes.

Thanks so much everyone !

-Ocho2

I harvested at like 2% amber, maybe 1 amber on an entire leaf and that smoke was so fucking stoney, i couldnt even imagine if i waited until 50% amber or more

Does the flowering length of a strain include the time it takes to show its sex, or is at that length of time once they show their sex?

Thanks RL

-Ocho2

I think they base it off of when you start your 12/12 schedule. Although i always use it as a reference not my exact harvest date. Im always in there with my microscope waiting for the perfect time. Then usually do a 24h dark cycle, its a hippy myth i think works and others claim it works, so i do it. fuck it. lol

Yeah I have a scope I got a Radioshack. Was $11.00. Its 60x to 100x, has a focus dial, and a light on it. It's pretty sicknasty for $11.00.

So I would say I am looking at 8 to 10 weeks from today to harvest? Somewhere in that range? I know I won't harvest until I see a decent amount of Amber, but just trying to guess how long since now it's coming to the best part .

How long did you flower your WW x BB? Like from start of 12/12 to chopping?

Thanks RL and all

58 days, might have been 59

i have the same radio shack scope. I've found the best way to use it is to cut little leaves off and lay em flat on something to check the trics. I've tried and tried to just mash it into the bud but it's just so hard to focus that way.

Ironically i did the same thing. The only way to focus in on a nugget was mashing so snipping a leaf and laying it on the table with that light on worked perfectly .

Thanks chaka :3

So after the first dose of 12/12, i believe i have stumbled upon the first sign of sex.

Now i may be getting too excited, but RL stated his preflowered before flipping to 12/12.

Im attaching three photos. They are of the new growth at the top of number one. Please save them to tour computer and zoom in on the left and right by those new small nodes. I see a small ball spitting out two hairs, and i can see possible hairs on the other side that i couldn't snap a photo of.

Let the epic-ness begin <3

Thank you Scrog for confirming that .

I am filled with intense excitement .

Thanks scrog and all .

Now that I've gone in and gotten a better look, i have found pistils on all three plants.

I tried to snap photos for you guys, but my camera can't zoom in since its already so difficult to see with your eye >.<.

Seeing pistils put the biggest smile on my face.

+Rep to Attitude and +Rep to Female Seeds...if it were possible xD.

Thanks everyone. First flower update will be around sunday morning.

-Ocho2

They all look female to me. I've seen many many times a plant can start out showing bot sexes the first day or 2. I've had a handful of plants thro a hair out to only start growing balls the next day. With that said tho your plants look further along and solid females.

Well all three pictures are of number one. The one in the back that the FIM failed on. But i see pistils on 2 and 3. Just need to wait a few days for pictures .

Well hello everyone. Welcome to the first update in flowering .

I flipped the lights to 12/12, and they started their first dose of darkness at 2pm on Friday . Even though it has been only two days, things are starting to change a lot. Along with the female preflowers appearing.

So I cannot really catch many pictures of the preflowers. At this point they are so small, I can BARELY catch it with my eye. I have 150% confirmed female preflowers on every single plant. The most noticeable ones, and the longest pistils/preflowers are on number one. As confirmed by SCROG up above. I took several pictures of spots throughout the entire plants. Nodes, main stems, and even the top growths. If you guys notice anything that sticks out such as preflowers please do let me know .

So we shall start off as normal with number one. Currently she is nearly 20 inches tall. Her first preflowers are showing at the top of the plant, to the left and right of the new growth. This is the plant that the FIM did not work properly on, but holy bajeezus how beautiful she still is. She popped the soil on 4/8/12, and is also the first to show noticeable female preflowers . Preflowers show in pictures number 1 and number 3.



Here is number two. I just snapped the perfect photo of a SMALL and hard-to-see preflower. Check it out in pictures number 4 and 5, right side node. She popped the soil on 4/9/12. Excellent FIM, excellent node growth, and just overall excellent results. Though a few nodes didn't quite make it to the top, there are a total of 6 super strong nodes and two that I have to keep tucking leaves down for. Hopefully those two smaller ones will make it to the top, though tucking should ensure that. She is a massive bush, and I expect the largest yield from her. She measures in at 18 inches tall, and 23 inches wide.

Here is number three. She has taken off from the FIM just as number two did. Four, possibly six, super strong nodes. She measures in at 14 inches tall, and 17 inches wide. I couldnt get a picture of a female preflower on her, but they are there .


And here is multiple shots I took. They are from all of the plants, random places, and hopefully you guys can spot out more preflowers..even though they are there..its still super awesome.

Well everyone, even though it's early things are getting different and I am super excited. According to female seeds website, along with Attitude, it says 7-8 weeks from when you flip your lights to 12/12. Estimated harvest date is 7/4/12 to 7/11/12. Though this date may not be 100% accurate, as I'll be wating for at least 20% amber trichomes.

Can't wait to hear back from you all !

These are going to be beasts, I can feel it in my bones.
looks great Ocho.

Thanks a lot K3N. I had to edit the update and finish it, so the full one is up now. Yeah I can feel it too. These plants already dwarf my plants in the past, including the ones that were stolen, and it's just the beginning of flowering. The fact that they will stretch 2.5-3 more feet makes butterflies flutter in my stomach XD.

Thanks K3N :3!
