**Nirvana's Feminized White Widow CFL Grow**

[MrBlanco]

Same soil I use.

Here's my harvest from this morning. It was a 12" tall WW that supercroped to 8" and then accidentally flowered after a power outage. My first harvest, too.

"Well good luck man!! my white widow got to my house in a little over a week. its crazy seein as how theyre in another country. did u order urs from nirvana too?"

I order them from The Attitude, but they are from Nirvana. Put my order in last Saturday, so hopefully they will be here soon!

thats coool. but if i were u.. if ur gonna order from attitude.. but theyre nirvana seeds. its a little cheaper to just order right from the nirvana website.. i think its only a few bucks cheaper.. but the shippin from nirvana is wayyyy cheaper.. its a flate rate charge too. its 7 or 8 bucks vs. attitudes $10 and then however much more for "gaurenteed" shipping. just lettin u know. lemme kno wen they get there. r u gonna start a journal?? if u r send me the link si i can check it out.

damnnnn.. that shit looks good!! im deff happy i chose this strain.. all these pics i see look amazing!! did u use CFL's?? or HPS lights?? and how long did u vegg for??

my 4 bagseed from mids i grew i was plannin on veggin for 4 weeks.. but the same thing happened to me kinda.. for w.e. reason my plug got unplugged.. and soo they were in darkness for almost a day.. soo i just decided to start 12-12 then.. soo i onlt got to vegg for 3 weeks.. but the plants ended up being like 2 1/2 - 3ft tall!!!

soo im glad i didnt vegg for 4 weeks. lol. i woulda been screwed. i didnt have enough lights as it is.. soo it was pretty hard to flower them with only CFL's. thats why im onlt doin 2 plants this time.

but yeaa. those buds came out great!! lemme know how the smoke is once ur done drying/curing.. is that Nirvana's White Widow??

Good luck with your new grow! I, too, had problems with a Nirvana strain. I planted 8 regular Papaya seeds and NONE of them sprouted! Needless to say, I was a little pissed. Oh well, Nirvana has been nothing but perfect up to this point so I guess their due a mistake or two.

Thanks, man.

I made a lot of mistakes with her but she's going to be well worth it. I'm not sure who's WW it is. I got it as a clone from a friend who got it from a friend who got the strain from a dispensary. It was getting blocked out by his bigger plants so he gave it to me. I think I fed it wrong at first because it never stretched. It harvested at almost the same height it went into flower with.

It was grown under a direct 78w of 2700k cfl. It was 12" tall when I supercropped it and then it flowered about a week later. If the day the power went out was the first day of flower it went about 9.5 weeks.

See those popcorn buds by the bottom of the lighter? I quick dried those and took a bong hit. Just those got me stoned as fuck. It was immediate and a pretty intense heady high that settled into a comfortable body stone after a few minutes that left me able to still function. I can't wait for the rest to dry. I think this will be the longest week of the entire grow.

I've got 3-4 other strains in the beginning of week four of flower right now. A Santa Berry, two Mangos, and two schwag bag seeds that I started from seed. One of those is a sativa pheno and the other an indica with purple pistils. I've currently got 450w of 2700k cfl that I'll be upgrading to hps in the near future. My grow tent is 2.5'x3.5'x5'.

yeaaa. thats how i feel.. i mean the shipping was REALLY fast! the seeds looked good, and ii got 10 freebies with it.. and the prices are good.. but im kind of disappointed that only 1 has grew so far....

did u write them at all?? u should write them... and jus tell them what happened. theyre usually pretty good about sending you your order back. you might have just got a bunch of duds.. well.. i guess you DID get a bunch of dud. lol. i wrote them yesterday complaining about the seeds.. ill let you know what they say as soon as i hear back from them. hopefull with some good new.

wow.. honestly.. i woulda neva thoght u made any mistakes.. they look pretty good to me. and yeaaaa... waiting for them to dry is the longest part.. lol. but i let mine dry for 3 days.. and smoked a lil bit of it. and it was good. but my buds sucked. lol. they were small and very "airy"

but u got any pics from ur new grow?? or u got a journal?? id love to see some more pics of ur grows.. u do a great job.. those plants i grew were from schwagg bagseed. and it turned out good...

from what ive hear.. you can grow some BOMBBBBB stuff from schwagg seeds if you grow them right. which i think u will. you got a really nice setup tho. with the CFL's and the grow tent.. i wanna get a tent for my plants..

my baby plant is lookin great now tho.. lookin really healthy.. if this other seed doesnt sprout.. im gonna germ 2 of the mystery seeds i got with my nirvana order. the only thing that sux is that theyre not feminized.. soo i dont know for sure theyre gonna be female.. but thats why im germin 2 instead of one.. figure i got a 50-50 chance..

well ill put up new pics tomorow.. u guys might not be able to see much of a difference.. lol. but i do.. i notice every lil thing that happens. lol. im sure you guys know exactly what i mean. lol.

 

[MrBlanco]

Thanks again, man. I made so many mistakes I don't even know what they all are.

I added a link to my grow topic in my signature but there's the direct link. https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/263995-my-cfl-grow.html I just added some new pictures to it. Watch me go from all thumbs to halfway knowing what I'm doing. I planted 10 seeds and got two viable females from it, after killing half from underwatering.

I built my tent out of 3/4" pvc, black/white poly (visqueen or panda), and a roll each of black and white duct tape. I still haven't got my exhaust set up so I just drape the door closed at night.

 

[chb444220]

Wow. Just checked the journal out. Pretty good man. Keep up the good work. They all look pretty healthy to me!! Its crazy to think yougot them to grow that big and tall with just those CFL's!! It just goes to show you you DONT need to spen 200-500 on a HPS light or MH light to grow weed. you can do it just as good (for the most part) with CFL's that are a few bucks each! I checked Lowes out the other day.. and I'm really tempted to buy that GIANT CFL.. its honestly one of the bigges lights I've ever seen!! I "MIGHT" get it.. not sure yet tho.. I think its about 15 bucks.. But its a 300 watt equivelant bulb. and its a Daylight Bulb I think. and its one of thte spiral designs too. It almost looks fake its soooo big. But im sure that thing put off a good amount of light... well im takin nsome pics of the plant now... and I might move a couiple things around to give it better lighting. Be back with pics real soon!! and thank you guys.. for following my journal.. i HATE spending all this time on writing shit and takin pics and uploading and postin them.. and then no one ver look at your journal.. lol. it sucks. =-( but i got you guys with me..

I know its boring now.. but once she starts flowering..... =-) it will be awesome!! and ill hvae a BUNCH of pics..

 

[chb444220]

ok guys.. heres some new pics for ya.. Not too too much has changed.. but like I said.. I see EVERY little detail.. lol. and even if it isnt much that has changed.. I like to try to put up new up-to-date pics at least twice a week... Lemme know what you think. =-)

ok. heres the setup. I got 4 26 watt cfls.. right now its 2 6500K and 2 2700K..

ok. and heres a fwe pics of her now. Im really happy with the way she looks now. very bice shade of green, and leavs look good. theyre really really fat!! lol

ok guys. thats it for now. ill let you guys know when/if the other seeds germinates or grow. =-/ wish me luck!!

 

[MrBlanco]

That's looking good, man. Everyone has the same thermometer.

Thanks again. I figure that if I can get good results with cfls I should be able to get killer results with a 400w hps. I just keep the lights as close as possible to the plants. I've heard that the bigger lights put off less heat. Other than that I think 23w or 26w bulbs are the way to go. You can pick up 23w bulbs at WalMart for $.99 each and then a $2.50 y-splitter from a hardware store. Say, $5 for 46w or 52w for two 26w bulbs. The sockets were easy. I guess I should go over that in my topic. I bought a few $2 sockets from Lowes, a few $.88 16g extension cords from WalMart (they're good for about 1600w), some 16g auto wire (red and black) for the overhead fixture deal, and wired them up. I covered the backs of the sockets with a lot of electrical tape to keep the humidity out and body parts away from the terminals. Then I just hung them from the top with some garden twine.

lol. yeaaaa. everyone does have that same thermometer. lol. did u get it from wal mart too?? and yea i think i mgonna go get some more daylight bulbs soon. i deff need some more. and im hopin to get a 400 watt HPS soon too. im gonna get the MHconversion bulb too for when im vegging. I should be gettin my school money in soon.. which should be about $1,500.. soo i can deff buy it then. cuz im a broke motherfucker right now... =-( got no job still.. on unemployment. which will be runnin out really soon!! well in about 5 weeks. =-( soo i need to start looking harder for a job. ive been applying everywhere!! but no-one is hiring. =-(

 

[chb444220]

OK. Weill I was just looking at the White Widow seed I had germinating for a few days, and it's not looking good. It cracked, but the taproot is bareky showing, and thats exactly what happened with the other seeds too. What The Fuckkk!!

Well, I said Fuck It! And decided to germinate 2 of the "mystery" seeds I got free with my Nirvana order. Hoping these will germinate, and at least 1 will be female. I'm only doing 2 because I only want 1 female plant, and I dont want to germinate 3 or 4, and have them all turn out to be female, and not have enough lights to flower them all.

Sooo I will keep you guys up to date on the mystery seeds as well. And I need to make a correction.. My label on my White Widow plant sais Start Date: 1/19.. thats not right. lol. Im off a week. Its started 1/26.. Im going to go fix that now, but just letting you guys know. lol. And ill also let you guys know if I hear back from Nirvana about my complaint.

I did get it at WalMart. I was walking around and said "hey, that's just about right".

Good luck on the search, man. It's terrible out there right now. Get what you can.

 

[chb444220]

yeaaa.. I've done over 30 applications.. and still no job yet. =-/ but yeaaa. I saw the thermometer at wal-mart, and it was really cheap and exactly what I needed. And I've got some good news guys!! I just got a reply from Alice from Nirvana.. and she asked to try germinating that last seed to see if it would germinate and so she would know how many seeds to resend! =-D I told her I tried germinating the last seed, but it wouldnt sprout. And so now I'm just waiting to hear a reply from her. Im thinking she will write me back tomorow, and hopefully say shes re-sending the seeds tomorow. =-) I will keep you guys up to date. =-)

 

[MrBlanco]

Awesome.

 

[chb444220]

k guys.. hres my latest update. these pics are from yesterday - 2/4 - also.. i germinated those 2 mystery seeds, and I have them in Jiffy Pellets now, they should sprout anyday.

Also, Nirvana wrote me back, and theyre re-sending my order, but... they got mixed up and are sending me Snow White Seeds. Im happy with that cuz if I want more white widow plants... I can just take clones. But now I have 3 strains.. White Widow... Snow White.. and The Mystery Seed. soo im happy about that.

I will be postin new pics up tomorow as well, because I noticed new leaves branching off already!! this thing is growing so fucking fast!!Its only been about a week!! but ok.. heres a couple pics of what it looks like now.

kk. sadly, thats it for now. hopefully the mystery seeds will sprout soon so i can put up pics of them.. i have 2 of them growing. well thats all folks.

 

[chb444220]

Ok guys. Heres a few pics for you. I really can't believe this plant is only 11 days old!! When you guys look at these pics, tell me if it really looks like 11 days old. I was just goin through looking at other peoples grows, and when they have plants that are only 11 days old, they just seem sooo tiny!! I really think it might be because of the Miracle Grow. When I did my first grow, I used Schultz, and the plants grew OK, but they were tiny compared to this one! And I know its not just the WW seed, because I grew 6 plants before this from some schwagg bagseed, and they grew really fast too! And I was using MG Moisture Control for them.

But this plant is by far, the fastest growing plant I've grown. And the best thing about it, is it's growing really short, and stalky. This plant already has branches starting to branch outward. I think (if i wanted to) I could take a cutting from it within the next few days to a week at the rate its growing. I saw a few little roots poking through the bottom, but I pushed them back up and put some soil in the bottom to cover it up.

OK. Well enough of me rambling on, heres the pics... i also threw in a pic of My cat.. "Tom" since everyone else seems to put a pic of their cat in their journal at least once. lol.

Strain: White Widow
Day: 11
Temps: 83-85

Strain: Mystery Seed/Plant 1&2
Day: 0 (hasn't sprouted yet)
Temps: 83-85

And heres a couple pics of my cat "Tom" aka "Tom Cat" aka "Tom Tom"

OK guys. Thats it for now. As I always say.. I will keep you up to date if anything changes.

 

[MrBlanco]

Tom looks like he wants you to scratch his head.

 

[chb444220]

lol. yeaaa. he does. lol. he Loves the camera. lol. I've had him for a few years now. At my old apartment, the people who lived upstairs moved out during the winter, and left him in the hallway. =-( And every morning I would leave for work, I would see him in the corner sleeping, and I would pet him when I would leave for work, and I would put food out for him. Well, after about 3 or 4 days, I felt too bad, lol, and on my way out for work, I picked him up and brought him into my room. And he's been there ever since. lol. =-)
