Alright as promised I got some brand spaken new pictures for you guys!
The date is a month ahead of what it should be, but they were taken about 2 hours ago. Enjoy guys

Purple Widow bud shot : )




Pictures of the steam below, I did a noob trim job on it a while ago lol, so its kinda rugid but it made it : )





check on how thick the stalk is on the white widow, had a pretty windy season, so it thickened it sooo much. had a really bad wind storms couple weeks ago, and I decieded to just leave it out, to see how strong it was. And it was still standing, even though some of the other trees on the way there were knocked over. The Hulk Widow plant! Pictures is kinda big, I apoligize, you have to scroll a bit left to see it. You can see a stick to the right of it, and a decently big stem coming off the side, just to see the actually size of it.








There you guys go, hoped you enjoyed. White widow still has another 5 weeks of flowering to go lol, so its going to be huge.. purple widow, has about another week or 2. Also some of the roots from the white widow are very close to the top of the soil, about a cm or 2, they are really thick, but they are almost coming out of the top. Any suggestions, other then add more soil to the top? If you guys see any problem please help me out, thanks a bunch!

dude that thing is mfing huge!!! very nice. i need to look for a nature park nearby so i can grow :) , to bad there arnt that many around here. I do recommended if there's even a 1% chance of people coming near your plants (like if it's 20 feet from a trail or something) that you try to make it blend in a little better, I heard of FBI leaving cameras and shit near peoples weed, so be careful and make sure NO ONE finds it, either that or make it blend in more so if someone sees it, hopefully it wont look to suispicious, just a suggestion. good luck :)

Just got back, gave them 2tbs of molasses, and 2 gallons of water. I put 1 tbs in each gallon, and watered, I let the soil dry really good, so this should be good. I used Molasses Mild, unsulphered, got it from Dollar General, for 1.50$ so if you haveing trouble finding it, check the local dollar store : )
I will give them a higher does of molasses next monday. Hopefully there is a noticeable change in the trichs, and bud swells.

Grow on growers.. grow on..

ok I have a problem, and not sure what to do. The purple widow, is starting to sprout new white hairs from the bud. They are smaller however, and a little thicker. Not sure what these are, or if these are normal. This is my first grow, so this might be normal, but iv never seen this in anyones pictures. They are outside right now and it is summer, could they be receiving to much light? and perphaps confused on veg or flower? They have been flowering for about 4-5 weeks now. And they flowered bythemselves.
Thanks for any help : )

ps. You can kinda see these white hairs from the first picture on this page, the picture of the purple bud. Look at the very top. The hairs are coming out in doubles. Most of the original hairs were already orange, now all of a sudden a whole new crew of these double white hairs are coming in : (

wow man thanks alot : ) I quit somking when I started this plant, so that I would put 100% efforts into it, and it worked. I cant wait until harvest, been so long since I smoked, but should be well worth the wait : ). I have a new one coming is as well, about 3-4 weeks old. Really nice looking :mrgreen:

went to the store today, alot more selection of ferts now, thank god. a month ago they had nothing probably because noone was planting anything back then. But I picked up some soilless soil, perlite, peatmoss, and a 30-15-20 fert for my youngen. Im hopin to get some worm castings, but really hard to find. I mixed some of the soilless mix and perlite and added it to the white widow and purple widow plants, because roots were starting to grow on top of soil, guessing they are started to get rootbound, this will give them another 3 inches or so, but earthbox has large surface area, so this should actually give them a bit more growing room. Im going to get another bag of some soilless mix tomorow, and maybe some composted horse manure, goign to mix the peatmoss, perlite, soilless mix, horse manure, and possible worm castings and vermiculite to make a nice rich soil. Also some building sand, give it good drainage. Went to check the plants today, and molasses is deff working, trichs are coming out everywhere, should be just covered in crystals by harvest : ). Still not sure what those new white pistils coming off the purple bud are... any ideas?

well the soilless mix I added to the top of the earthbox seems to be geting very very dry. Likes sand almost. I put this soilless mix, with perlite on the top, becuase roots were starting to grow out of the top of the soil. I had plenty of room to put more soil in the earthbox so I did. But The soil is drying out pretty bad every time I check. But the other soil under it seems to be staying good. Perhaps this is good, becuase the soil on top, is keeping the undersoil that the roots are mainly in, nice and moist. Going to add 3TBS of molasses per gallon on monday. Going to give them 2 gallons, for a total of 6 TBS of molasses. Possibly more, not sure. : ) Everything is looking good, also going to pull out 10x scope on monday to have a look at the trichs, Purple may be ready for harvest :mrgreen: , White still has another couple weeks to go, which is good because once purple gets out of the box, white widow is going to have more room to stretch its roots, and hopefully grow significantly bigger. Well see : )

alright well things are looking kinda bad, and kinda good. I found some budrot, so next day went to trim it off, when I cut it however, I caught a glimse of a worm, that dug right below the bud I just cut, into the lower bud. I was like.. wtf, so I cut some of that bud, and I got him, not sure what he is, but I killed him. Little white worm, that can apparently dig threw bud, and rot it from the inside out. Could have been deadly if I didnt get him. However I did, then on the Purple widow, there was some white cotton like substace on some of the stem and leafs, no idea what it is, but I got rid of the leafs and wiped it off the stem. I think spotted a little white bug, that I think was causing it, I killed him. Then I saw another little bug, a bit bigger then the really small one, he was white as well, but when I went to grab him, he hopped away really far. For the whole grow I havent had any bug problems now all of a sudden when Im so close to harvest, all these freeloaders wanna start trying to get some free bud?

Well I transplanted the smaller one, used some miracle grow moisture control. Into a 15 inch pot, it was kinda big, and I didnt have enough soil to fill it all the way up which sucks, so its only half way full right now. But I got the thing in it, and watered it with a drop of nutes. I built a little tree fort up in the trees with some twigs and branches. I made a nice Y out of some huge branches and put the pot in the middle. Its very secure, I then sprayed the outside of the pot green, and camoed it with nearby leafs. I will take pictures of the treefort, as well as big plants soon.

Thanks for following, feel free to post on here : )
