wow man im so glad u did this, your the only one i can find growing this strain at all. i really dig the shape of those leaves, looks unlike anything ive grown. the best bud i ever had by a long shot was supposed to be g-13 so im very interested in trying some, and watching yours!! looks kinda like they arent an ultra-fast flowering strain, but, by no means a slow grower. those tall, long tops will sure look good as hell in a mason jar! i subscribed! ill keep cheerin ya on!!

Now then lads
Thanks for the input!
The G-Force are doing good.
All 8 girls are finishing nicely
1 of them looks about 1 week behind
the rest and another 1 looks like it could finish maybe a week earlier then the rest.
Done my usual jobs in the garden.
Have got rid of all dead and dying leafs.
Topped the res up with plain water.
They have been nute free for a week now
and will be flushed for another 2 weeks at least.
Temps at top of the girls is about 30c/86f and at the bottom of the girls temps are 20c/68f.
PH is around 6.0-6.2.
Im using a 600w HPS lamp for flower. I also have a 250w MH and a 400w MH.
Grow Tent is 120cm by 120cm and 200cm high.
Missed my update last week due to problems with the site and could not leave a post.
Here are some more pics

My Pocket Microscope came today
60x - 100x zoom.
Had a look at the Trics on a small amount
of bud I pulled off for a smoke over christmas
It looks nearly done but Trics are 75% Clear 23% Milky 2% Brown.
so im thinking at least another 1 maybe 2 weeks before harvest!
Im also going to put my 400w MH in for one daylite cycle so I can
have a good look at them and also get some clear pictures of my girls
under white light

Well Ladies and Gentlemen
I croped on the 24th december
and they have now dried out and are in
jars and air tight containers being cured
I lost some of the bud due to 2 burnt cola tops from the lamp and one had some rot/mould in the middle of it!
Estimated loss of about one ounce.
Estimated yeild per plant is 1 1/2 ounce per plant.
I think I did ok for a first time
Next time I wont let them get to tall before I put them into flower, so they dont get to close to the lamps.
Im also going to use 2x 250w CFL's for under lighting with red lamps to boost my next yeild as I found alot was lost under the girls. I could double my yeild on my next run with some under plant lighting
Im also going to use fine mesh at the drain holes in my pots so the roots dont go everywhere again!
The root system came out nice and was like a big sponge in my res!
All the roots were healthy as well.
and finaly I will use a little more nutes as I could have used alot more then I did
I will be starting a new grow in about a months time
Going to try and grow in Coco with clay pebbles as drainage at the bottom of the pots.
Looking to double my yeild and get some fatter buds!

Now then
Im back and nearly finished my 2nd grow
Im currently in week 8 of flower.
Im growing white widow.
Got one more week flushing them out
and I plan to crop one week from today.
I switched my 600w HPS lamp off one week
ago and they are finishing under 2x 125w CFL's.
I wanted to have them under the HPS for one more
week then switch but now I want them to finish for
the start of the world cup.
Plenty of smoking and drinking to be done and plan to
have some mighty fine smokables by the 12th june

So Iv croped this weekend.
Just finished hanging up the buds
and it looking pretty good.
I think they could have gone another week
or 2 but after bud rot started to infect 3 out
of the 8 main colas I decided to crop to prevent
any further loss of bud.
Iv lost about 1.5 ounce (wet) due to bud rot
but i think I have yeilded more then from my
last grow.
Going to go from 8 plants to 4 or the next one
as I think I can yeild just as much from 4 plants
with more space then 8 plants all crammed together.

Can We get a smoke report on the G-Force? I just started a seedling so I would like to because there aren't many G-force reviews...

Ok My Geforce went about 12 weeks flower under a 600w HPS.
They were nice dark sticky nugs with a kind of a musty smell when
I cropped.
Most of the trics were cloudy or brown and It was very nice taste.
The first few reffers were very tickly and coughed alot but then I got used to
it and when I had pure reffs with no tobbaco added it was a very smooth
taste with very good potency (couch Locked!)
I had flushed them for 2 straight weeks and I use a hydrophonics system (flood and drain)
The grow medium was clay pebbles.
I love the G Force!
Great taste, great smell, you should let it go the full 11 - 12 weeks
to get the very best from it.
Iv just cropped white widow after 9 weeks flower.
got a larger yeild then the G force but these are not as potent
but then I have cropped early and the white widow could have easy
gone another 2 weeks.

Hey Peeps
Iv now started my 3rd grow.
Iv decided to go for just 4 girls as
I would like to give them more space.
I currently have 2x white widow fem.
1x Blue Cheese fem and one unknown bagseed.
all looks good, im about 4 weeks in veg now and im looking to
top them today at some point.
I almost killed them by accident after using a little to much PH down
but managed to flush them just in time.
They went into shock for about a week but all have recovered 100%
and they are now gaining 2-3 inch a day.
got them under a 250w MH and after they have recovered from being topped
I will switch to my 400w MH for the remaining veg time.
I will thrown them into 12-12 flower stage under my 600w HPS once they are
about 15 inch tall.
I will get a couple of pics up soon
