Nice one mate, its different to the grow guide the grow shop gave me though! How often did you water them? Was it a judgement thing? when the pots felt light and the soil had dried out?

Have you checked the trichomes with a microscope at all? I've got some WW in bloom for 35d and the trichomes are already turning a milky/cloudy white. I found it a little surprising given that the strain is supposed to flower for 8-9 weeks but I suppose it just depends on what type of high you want as to when you should harvest. I suppose I'll wait another week or two and flush before I harvest.

Have you flushed yet?

Is that Flying Dutchmans White Widow?? it looks EXACTLY like their cola nug does in the advertisement for their seeds man. That shit looks off the god damn hook. I just started some Seedsman seeds White widow a little while ago, n if my shit looks ANYTHING like that ill be fuckin jumpin for joy. Itll make all my other indicas look like bitch sissy plants, lol.

How long did you veg out for? n how tall are them fuckers??

If u could, pm me so i can ask you a couple Q's about it without hijacking your thread man.

-K1.
My seeds were feminised White Widow from Dutch Passion. I got them from a seed broker in north London. Only 6 from the 10 came up. But they are monsters!

The other 2 are just bag seed, they are bigger than the White Widows. They had to be pegged up in week 6!

Check out my grow journal : https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/107406-6-white-widow-4-god.html

Drop me a private for any other info. :bigjoint:

I judged it by weight. If they started to droop or they felt very light I would water them. In flowering its every day. I give them 500ml of dechlorinated water right now, they are always thirsty when it comes to it. :bigjoint:

I have a microscope. I check the trichromes daily. They are all clear! I was expecting at least a few milky ones by now. I cut off small branches from the bottom and microwave the buds. I trim all the leaves and dry them separately. Gonna make me some hash!

I have been flushing since day 50. The buds are bigger than I ever expected. They all stopped growing a week ago, its just about making crystals now. The lights are on for only 6 hours in 24.

New pics on my grow journal tomorrow.

These were taken today, 5 days since the last pics. They are getting fatter and stickier. Trichomes are still clear though, was expecting some cloudy ones by now.

These are the bud shots. More pics on my grow journal.

Well I cant help myself and I have been snipping buds to smoke. I inspect the bud under the microscope along with the crystal covered leaves before I microwave them. All clear! :?

right i understand that part, but if you are clipping buds from the very bottom, they are going to take longer to mature than the top, so i would be inspecting the top portion of the plant, and after you are satisfied with the trichs, chop it, move the lights down, and let the lower buds go for another 10 days or so... that way all the plant will be mature, and you can turn those lower little shit buds into nice rock hard nuggies!

You just had me running into my Budbox to clip a tiny piece of the largest cola. I generally clip lower branches and take the buds from there. I never touch the top. I had a look at the bud under the microscope. I got my partner to look as well to make sure - all clear, apart from 1 or 2 that looked misty. My microscope is 60-100X and I had a good look all over.

I just think they need more time.

:peace:

please stop...why hinder a great crop by microwaving it?

youve already had the patience to grow it...chop those bitches down, let em properly hang dry, cure...and then really enjoy the fruits of your labor

didnt mean to post twice...but that deserved a comment

I take your comment.

I spent on average £140 an ounce. The deal with my partner was that buying a Budbox, lights etc (worked out to be about £500) was that it would cover this monthly expense and pay for itself. Personally, I would have bought another ounce and left the plants. But in a relationship - you make allowances....kiss-ass
