First Grow - Fem Snow White

Cheers Beaner, as you wisely predicted in the PM you sent me mate, all seem to be girls. White pistils all over the place on all 6 of my plants. I'll keep an eye out in case any turn out to be hermies, but so far so good! V happy!!

People always say that growth is RAPID when you start the 12/12 cycle....I have now seen this with my own eyes. WOW! The rate of growth is quite incredible. They are starting to get pretty damn BIG now! So here's some pics.

Day 56 (Day 5 flower) pic update! Check out the growth!!...

Beautiful bushes there SnowWhite! You're gonna have a very good calyx to leaf ratio I think - more buds for you!

i cant stop thinking how god dam lucky you are haha. good job bro.

Thanks for the comments guys!...I just hope I can keep my plants as healthy through the flowering cycle. Hopefully, if I just keep doing what I'm doing i.e. trying to respond to my plants needs and keep them fed and watered, they will do their thing and grow some nice big fat buds for me!! Can't wait for the buds to start forming. I will of course keep you all updated with progress and picture updates so you can follow my grow with me!

I really have found a new passion/hobby here. It's so so satisfying to nurture some plants and watch them grow and I'm sure harvesting loads of big fat buds is the ulitmate satisfaction. I just can't wait!! My "legal" garden will also be looking a lot better this summer due to my new found gardening interest. I've been potting up some nice garden plants, grasses and climbers ready to plant in the ground in a few weeks time! Nice!!

More pics....just been watered and misted......They are needing water every other day now...I've tried to make them go 2 days without, but a couple of my girls started looking a bit sorry for themselves, so it's got to be every other day. So here's the pics.....

Day 60 (Day 8 Flower)

They're starting to fill out quick, will you have enough room to keep the plants in the same place? They look really good at the moment, best of luck!

Cheers Aphex! I'm just ok for space for my 6 ladies, next time I think 4 would be more appropriate though. Better light to all plants and more room for me to tend to them. Watering etc can be a bit awkward, but I manage.

So, they've been 11 days under 12/12 and the buds are starting to form nice! It's so so good to see. Here's some pics of a couple of my buds in the making!

And some more pics of all of them together......

Day 63 (flower 11)....

Tomorrow I go away for 6 days!!! I've had to ask a very good and trustworthy friend to water my girls for me while I'm away from home. I just had no choice. There is no WAY they could go 6 days without a drink.

I'm very nervous about leaving them to be honest. I normally check on them twice a day, just cos I like to. But I will just have to leave them to it and check in on them again in 6 days time!! It will be awesome to see 6 days worth of bud development when I get back though ....and you guys will get to see this too, but like me, you just have to wait another week for the pic update.

There are so many bud sites developing now it's unbelieveable, as long as there are no disasters while I'm away, when I get back I'm expecting/hoping for some big bud development! I just can't wait....catch up with you soon folks!

It's crazy. My girl hates them. When I wake up in the morning, before I do anything I go back and check on them. Spend about an hour back there. Then right before the lights go out I do it again. I spend at least 2 hours a day with her. Its addicting!

you would get more light out of those cfls if you hung them horizontal with reflectors...they are easy to make a cheep one. they are looking great! i see they are just finishing the last flowering stretch, they shouldn't grow too much higher, 6-8 inches over the rest of the budding.

Cant wait to see some more.... awesome job

Beaner, cheers man. I'm going to rethink my my lighting setup for my next grow and try and setup some simple reflectors for my envirolites. I will only flower 4 plants next time so this will give me some more options with my secondary lighting.

Maggidodda, thanks mate. Check out the pics below!!

So, a week has passed and my good friend took care of my ladies for me....so a BIG thanks to him! I just could not believe it when I got back off my holiday and opened the grow room door. Fookin' HELL!!!! They have grown so much! and they really stink!!! Carbon filter is working a treat so far

Here are the pics....

Day 72 (Flower 20)

they look awesome man, and is that carbon filter to get rid of the smell?

Do You Pull Air Through Your Carbon Filter, Or Do You Push Air Through It? I Have One Now, But Not Really Smelly Yet...lol...but Not Much Longer Im Sure..ur Plants Look Great...cant Wait To See Them Finished...keep Us Posted

Those plants look flawless, it's like a rainforest in there. Great job, make sure you keep us posted.

cant wait to see the yields on those beasts

Thanks folks....I can't wait to see the final yields either. I will keep you all posted.

The carbon filter is working a treat Rob, so far.

Bogglegum, I am currently pulling air out through my filter which is hanging in the top of my grow room, but, if they get too stinky for the one filter, I am also going to add another smaller filter on the end of my exhaust ducting as well. So far, this is not needed though.

Just watered and misted my ladies, and as always, took some more pics....

Enjoy!....I can't wait to

they are so beautiful, so healthy looking
