Excellent side branching, thick stems and good internode distance.
They're gonna be very good plants mate ;)

Thanks Mammath
I was out of town last night but when I came back it was a pleasant surprise. The plants just shot up a few inches more, the biggest groth spurt yet, I did try something diiferent too the last watering I added some molases to the nutes, not much but I wonder if it was it that did it.

Look'n good mate.
I can see some over watering symptoms there in that second to last set of pics.
A little bit of cupping of the leaves.
Nothing too serious just something to be aware of.
Good work.

The only way a plant can flower on 18/6 light schedule is if it's an auto strain.
That one must be an auto.
I don't know how auto's respond to 12/12 lighting.

I dont think it is an auto flowering 1, my buddy thinks its just a tight cluster at top right now but i guess we will see. In case anyone is wondering these White Widow seeds were purchased from The Ontario seed company and were not of the the feminized kind.

So its been just over 2 weeks flowering now, it does seem that the 1 plant started all on its own and the other 2 are right behind it. Unfortunatly the transition from cfl,s to HID is not as smooth as it might be, I accidently slightly cooked the top of 2 of my plants,,light id now almost 2' away now.Also the skinny undefined plant I always felt would be a male seems to be showing as a female,:joint:

Bit hard to tell from those pics mate.
May still be too early as well.
I can't make any balls though.

Other two look good.
The one with the clawing leaves probably needs less nutes.
Other than that they're looking good.

Thanks for keeping in touch,,seems you may be my only follwer right now.
I have not even been giving these full recomended nutes yet, everytime i try to raise them i get nute burn on the leaves,maybe I should only nute every other watering.
Wanting to give you more rep but it wont let me yet.:joint:

I think RIU has more lurkers than posters.
I think many are watching but just staying silent.
If your in soil I would only be nuting every other feed.
It's only that one plant that looks like it's struggling with dosage and frequency of feeding.
Maybe water her last each time and dilute her mix down a touch after you've watered the others.

Just Bringing pics up to date,,I am finally able to produce some bud porn, even if at the moment it is more on the amateur side:hump:.
All is well right now, I am amazed all 3 turned out female (assuming they are far enough along that sex is definate now(non feminized seeds)).
The 1 that has the claw has since been flushed and last watering i used 25% less nutes, clawing hasnt seemed to end but at the moment the buds are still growing. I also trimmed a bunch of the bigger leaves to let more light to the lower buds. It looks dry in this photo but leaves feel normal, I think they will flatten out soon.
:joint:

looking lovely SirF'
Good job flushing the one that looks overnuted that should help.
Are there any ferts in the soil?
If so there isn't much you can do except let her ride it out.
Buds are looking really good though.
Good work mate.

Thanks Mammath,,there are no ferts in the soil,,it is pure coco coir. So I suppose riding it out is my only option, do you think they can straiten out again or is it going to be like that till they die off?

Those smaller leaves on the main cola shouldn't die off at any stage.
Thay may straighten back out but it depends how long they've been like that.
They usually get consumed by the bud that forms around them.
She'll be fine.
