I can't believe how full your screen is already!!! great job penguin!!!
theres enough room in those pots to let your plants get huge :tiphat:

take care bro!!!

Penguin59 · Oct 11, 2010

There he is! Hey BC :thank you:

Yeh i know man, how full is this screen!? I cant wait to see how she looks in the next 3 weeks after the main stretch happens. Time to pull up a seat & wait for the finish line. Your plants r looking equally as amazing. Cant wait to see ur yield either. How much you reckon i'll be getting???

The extraction fan would probably blow the house away.

lol it'd be bigger than the box itself and probably use more watts than the light haha but worth it for the respect haha

Penguin59 · Oct 11, 2010

Haha calm down lads. I'm quite happy with my CFLs at the moment.

#1cheesebuds, i'm honoured to have you aboard my friend. Thanks for the kind words. She's definitely gonna do me proud

Certainly is, Ordinary! I'm pretty excited. The girls have started stretching a little bit after 3 days in. Can't wait to see little colas everywhere!

Something interesting has happened with one of the girls today that i've noticed though. I've uploaded a photo or 2 below to show you. Since i moved Darwin's White Widow girl into the cab, all the lower leaves on that plant are now below the screen & basically arent getting any light at all. She's been killing all these leaves that are under the screen, i'm assuming because of the lack of light. They're all wilting & dying off but her top leaves are still going bananas & healthy as! I'm pretty sure this is why this is happening because of lack of light but any other thoughts? I wanted to prune off all the leaves below the screen to save her the trouble but thought that might stress her out a bit being pruned excessively?

Check it out below:

Lower leaves wilting

Healthy as!

ahaha for a second i was thinking "WTF? HE ALREADY HAS TRICHS IT"S BEEN LIKE A DAY OR SO!?" then realised that was the plant that had been flowering for 3-4 weeks. nice

Struckanerve · Oct 13, 2010

I would say prune away my friend. You are good up to around 2 weeks of flowering. Anything after that might cause stress.

Penguin59 · Oct 13, 2010

Ah k cheers for the input Struckanerve! Welcome aboard mate

Yeh im thinking i may as well do wat she's gonna do anyway & cut everything off. Let her work on her canopy & buds above the screen. I'll get on that tomorrow.

Hey guys just a quick update:

Just noticed that some male pollen from Darwin's Mazar-i-Sharif grow must have pollinated the White Widow clone that i got off him. As you can see below, she's making some seeds!!! She's not fully seeded and will be mostly sinsemilla cos she wasnt exposed to pollen for very long but looks like i'm gonna be getting a few White Widow x Mazar-i-Sharif beans this grow

Seeds motherfucker!!! SEEDS!!!

... I can just imagine your excitement when saying this mate! HAHA. Very nice job, hope your cross will be a very good one. What will you call it?

Penguin59 · Oct 17, 2010

Hahaha yeh Pancho. I've never pollinated before so this is indeed very exciting for me to see the process

Your grow is coming along nicely too. You're so close to the chop! So looking forward to that too.

UPDATE:

Hey all, week 2 of flowering is now underway. Here are some progressive shots to compare to last week.

The LSD has done some crazy stretching! It really looks like its Mazar-i-Sharif ancestor now that's it's a little bigger. A tip if anyone is growing LSD or any Mazar or Afghani originating species, they really don't like a lot of water! If you look closely at the LSD, her lower leaves are canooing and curled down where i overwatered. Now i only water once a week & her leaves are looking so beautiful now

Darwin's White Widow clone has really beefed up its one cola after me cutting off all its branches underneath the screen. My White Widow clone is still just pumping away with the growing tips so enjoy below!:
