First time CFL grow 'Wonder Woman' and Bagseed

Yea they should start to fill out for ya, give it time and keep those cfl's to where there almost touching the bud but not quite! Your about halfway there so it should start swelling for you pretty soon if everything else is right.

What happened to pic 6 and 11? Did you cut some leaves off? They look kinda funky. Like Charlie Browns Christmas tree.

No those are 2 different plants. As of right now the one in pic 11 has no more fans leaves at all. I have been gone all weekend and upon coming home I checked the garden and all the fan leaves were completely yellow and falling off for the most part so I removed them. Now it's just a stock with buds, but they look pretty healthy

I cannot believe I've lasted this long...

So today is day 47 of flowering and I've had a crazy couple of weeks. I have been gone for a while and just didn't have the time or facility to post a new update.I got a new job and had to move to another city so of course I didn't just bring my garden along with me. It spent a week in the care of my girlfriend while I spent a week carefully planning where to reinstall my project in my new location. So now the news; All the plants are clearly maturing well and have not caused me any problems. My only complaint is that my smaller BS has not increased in size too much but they still require about 2 more weeks than the WW. The WW on the other hand has really taken off and got fatter. Crystals have formed on all 3 plants in accumulation so I can't complain about that.

Now the WW is VERY close to being finished and I still haven't found a microscope to aid me in my judge of when to harvest. WHERE DO YOU BUY THEM??? I'm completely out of ideas. Any way of course I have pics I want to share so maybe some can tell me if it looks ready. I think it needs maybe 7 days or less to go but I need some advice.

One other thing is one of my BS (the one with no leaves) is yellowing up to her buds. I don't think this is a good thing. Should I pick her early or wait it out. The hairs at the top of the plant have begun to turn brown but hairs are still white towards the bottom. So I'm going to leave her in unless someone more experienced tells me otherwise I guess. At least until I pick the WW. Anyways some advice for this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Pics 1-3 are the BS I want to pick early, 4-7 are the other BS and 8-14 are my WW

Crazy lookin plant. It does strangly enough look healthy. Good lookin nugs on it.

Why dose the BS have more trics than the WW. WW starin is more dense with trics ?? who knows mabey they are under the leafs.

oh yea nice grow for 100 watts that leaf-less plant trips me out yet its still alive


NVM I thought Your WW was "White Widow"

Actually, I have made a couple of replacements in terms of the lighting since the beginning of this grow. I currently have 6 bulbs running. 5, 23W and 1, 40W. just over 130 watts. Ideally I would like 2-4 more bulbs in there. Now that I will be able to afford some more equipment Ill make sure to have more lighting after this harvest is completed. Needless to say this has been a learning experience so next time I'll do better.

Yea I though the first pics where the Wonderwoman and the others where the bagseed at first too..??

Either way they both look close, I would start to flush and give them another 7-10 days if you can wait..

Sorry about the order of the pics.

Okay I think I'll give them at least 7 days. If the yellowing continues on the sad looking BS I'll just chop it. It's not that big anyhow so I would rather salvage what I'v got on it.

They yellowing is most likely just because shes coming near the end..

I'm confused now. Which ones are the Wonder Woman? I have some BS and a mix going and 1 WW. I think I mixed up the pots and not sure which is my WW. Can you post some pics of the WW. Maybe it will help me figure out which one is my ww.

Here's my WonderWoman harvest and at 50 days flowering right before chop..

Sweet thanks. Looks yummy.

yeah the WW is a mid-size plant, but it's the biggest plant in my garden(the one with 4 stocks).

Smelly, how much light wattage were you running to get those awesome buds. Mine are similar looking but maybe half as big with fewer crystals. I'll admit I could have done some things better in this grow but my budget wouldn't hear of it. So for my next round I'm going to do a few things differently

1) Start with fewer plants (maybe 4)
2) Start them all at the same time, unlike this grow(not with 2 weeks in between).
3) Use more lights, and I have I learned more IS better. You think you have enough, but then soon enough you realize you don't.
4) Use SIDE lighting, I ended up with pop corn buds because light wasn't getting past the canopy.
5) Maybe buy some decent ferts. I think the molasses fattened up my WW a little but not much.

Yea bro I hear yea on the money thing!! You did what you could and your actually going to get some good bud out of it so I'm sure you will be more than happy.. It sounds like your on the right track for you next grow, One of the things that I think helped me a lot more than anything was my PH tester and the foxfarms soil and liquid trio.. It made it simple to feed them the right amount and the molasses I think was just a plus.

Here's the rundown of what I had, around 250watts surrounding the plant within inches but that was 2 plants and then the WW got all the light for her last couple weeks when the shortrider was done. Keep in mind the "shortrider" was 4 foot tall lol.. Honestly I think keeping the lights super close using cfl's is the trick! I vegged for 4-5 weeks, no training and used very close side lighting and top lighting about a 2 gal pot, she ended up being 2 ft tall and that was that! Your on the right track, keep it up!

Thanks, it was fantastic

Okay so I've left the plants for a week and since they are looking just about ready, I'm planning my chop for thursday. They are on day 54 of flowering and on thursday it will be exactly 8 weeks of 12/12. I don't have any pics right now but I will take some before and after shots when harvesting.

Why throw the male plants out? Even though they are notcas high in THC, you could dry them, grind up the leaves and make canna butter, stovetop bhang, or any other type of extract from them! At least then you still get something out of them!

As a first timer, I'm trying not to concern myself with things like that yet. Not to mention I really didn't have the space to grow them in either. This was a seriously budget grow, I did it for roughly $100. But I think that if I had tried to make butter with leaves they would have been too immature. How much THC is produced in a 3-4 week old vegging plant? I have no idea, but probably not much.

So today is day 56 of 12/12 which is an exact 8 weeks. I picked the girls this morning and trimming wasn't too bad only took about an hour. I'm going to get a scale for when the buds are dry and post the weight. At the moment I do not own a scale so I'll have to get one. I ended up picking the sad BS plant a lot earlier than these plants and the results were pretty poor so I'm not very impressed, although I did figure out why the plant was so strange. It turns out the container transplant is what messed it up. When I removed the rootball, the roots had not taken to the new medium and stayed the original size of the first pot.

Any how, here are the pics...
Here is the BS I picked early


These are the kushy smelling BS pre pick


This is WW pre pick


This is Buds post pick and trim. The WW buds are on the left(4 stocks + mini bud) and the single BS on the far right.


And some bud porn

Looks like some dank bud, congrats on the harvest bro! +Rep

Congrates on the Harvest! Looks Like some Fire!
