Yah those guys look like twins. Well I noticed as your widow got older the leaves got a LOT thinner than when it was still 2 weeks in that pic. When did this happen exactly?

well one night first week of flowering i walked in my grow room and the thing just kept shotting up into the light bulb then (no leak in bulb) after about two weeks I started training it so now the sides (lower branchs) are tall too.lol
Cool so you can vary them throughout the plant every few days I assume? Nice if you are.

I have another question II need answered. What would happen if I go from 12/12 to straight 24/7? Would it make them bud faster or just F up the whole prossess. It's just a theory.

Its called thinking you can plant a seed and grow some bud without reading.
Tall plants are caused by a couple of culprits
1. Strain
2. Lights too far away.
How close is your 400w?
I have my 600w anywhere from 1"-10" away from my plant tops. I dont allow my plants to exceed 3ft tall and i get buds like this after 8 weeks.

Another question How much and how often should I water this thing. Please dont tell me to read over the web because it's already been done. Please cansomeone let me know. BTW the white hairs of the plant are getting alot bigger I'm hoping that means its getting ready to bud

Bro, at this point, your going to get a p,ethora of answers which may just leave you more most then you were. IMO, wait it out. Treat her right, water every third day ( or when the soil is about dry) . The lady is very rescourceful, and resiliant. If you r patient, you just may harvest something decent. If not, you always have the option to start over. At this point, its definatly your call. Don't let anyone make this decision for you. Only you know what your lady wants...good luck, bro.

Not trying to be a dick but if you read all over the web like you said, or something like that, you would already have your answer. Just sayin.
Btw, rollitup has a PLETHERA on info. I never need to ask questions because they have already been answered
