Where did you get the beans? Auto or photos? Regardless, almost every plant I've grown to completion has flowered for at least 10 weeks. I had a few that went 14. Waiting that last few weeks is one of the hardest things in growing. Waiting is worth it. I know the bean companies list 8 weeks alot. But as a wise dude told me once," It's done when it's done" it's worth the wait

They usually swell from week 7 or 8 on. They get knobbies on them like these grandaddy purple X DoSiDos im growing right now.
Make sure to feed light N and decent PK. My current grow They are loving the Alaskan Fish Fertilzer Morbloom. 15ml a gal every watering 3 to 4 days. I gave them molasses water in between a couple times when the leaf tips tinged yellow. The Indicas live the nutes and the Sativa dominants it depends cause pure Sativas don't like fertile soil except for like Filipino Kibungan.

PK also makes the buds rock hard. All 4 strains im growing I gave same feed. 1gal each watering in 5gal pot. They all are starting to knob up, resin glands turning milky and rock hard smelly sticky buds.

I am growing 2 White Widow autos and 2 Super Skunk Fems.
The 2 Autos are in 1st week of flower now. This is my first time growing. I am doing all organic soil grow this time.
I'm going to try out hydro after harvest. I have a RDWC setup pre made and put away for 4 bucket grow w/ 20 gal res.
But the first time I am going to grow just 1 Purple Kush Fem in a bubbler bucket w/ top drip.
So far it has been a blast and I think I gave them a little too much N. A couple leaf tips talon on me but the rest is ok.
They just got darker green the skunks are heavy indica so bluish green i read is normal healthy color for the leaves. Before they were lighter green.
I gave the skunks a 2 cup feed of 1-1-1 Pot of Gold from Dr Earth. I am using the Dr Earth Organic Cannibis feeding schedule.
The Autos I gave them 1 cup of the liquid each. Thats when the leaves got dark green and I got worried.
Im using FFOF 1/3 layer on bottom and FFHF the top 2/3 layer. I put a layer of Worm castings in between and top dressed more during the transplant.
I also put Dr Earth Tom and Herb Ferts and scratched it in. at transplant at end of week 3 from germ.

Here are the latest pics from week 5. I just added the tomato cages last night since I was able to move the Mars Hydro light up enough staying at 2 ft and they were able to finally fit under the light in the fabric pots.
The one girl she got big fan leaves on her.

Hey, I'm in the Northern Va area if you'd like to sample some free Northern Lights and Durban poison, I have way more weed than I can smoke !

Now that weeds legal in Va, I'd love to connect with local growers to swap buds with and talk about growing. Maybe I can start a Northern Virginia grow club? I have five free white widow seeds that came from Seedsman, I've never tried this classic strain ! Best of luck, maybe if your close (Va is a big state) You'll let me try some of that white widow when its done.

Dude, I live close to Va and I have been wondering when the dispensaries open and all. Do you know? BTW sounds like a good plan starting a weed group. I cant wait for NC to legalize. I might move back then.lol. Virginia needs a new motto now. Virginia is for(weed) lovers.

There are dispenseries all over Wash DC, none in Virginia that I know of yet. Use the Wheres weed app, it will show you were to go.

Prices are dropping fast here now that weed is legal in Va, an ounce was close to 300 bucks or more a few years ago. I'm seeing the same strains selling for 100-150 an ounce now, life is good here in DC !

I hear you, I like to smoke my own buds too but from time to time its nice to try something other people grow. I also like to sample strains I'm considering growing. (Master Kush, I gotta try this before growing)
