Should i chop her down? White Widow

Depending on were you get the seed from its highly unlikely its 100% WW. Your thc will take a LONG time to degrade. let her go until at LEAST this upcoming friday. But to tell you the truth i dont think you had your end swelling yet. The reason you got a better buzz from the longer dried stuff is because you dried it slower. Thats the whole reason behind curing. The slower you can dry your buds the better it will taste, smell, and the higher you will get

But you do see it twnty8? The purplish earthy colors? I' ve been flushing since two weeks ago...Thursday made two weeks...Will i loose any potency because i'm flushing longer than normal? Thanks for the help

I had my old man check it out this morning, and he said thats weird, it looks like its shrinking a little bit...And to tell you the truth, it does kinda look like it shrunk a little bit...Or maybe its getting denser inside, i'm not sure, i just want some dank weed this time! Only having a 150 hps probably doesn't help with making it potent either...I've got some of those spiral T5's in there too just to give it some extra lumens...I got the seeds from Amsterdam seeds...Is that a good site?

Hey twnty8, can u post some pics of what ur buds look like right before you chop'em? Thanks bro...Just want to see other peoples...Do most of your leaves turn yellow and die off near the end like mine are?

hey i have no way to post pics but yea my leaves also do that towards the end. This is do to the fact that the plant thinks the end of the season is coming and uses up all the sugars and nutrients in the leaves and puts the energy into the buds. The leaves store all the vital survival tools that the plant needs to live. It is trying to put as much thc into the buds as possible to protect it from winter, so it is using up the remaining sugars and nutes. I say water her good tomorrow or monday then like i said lights off totally on tuesday night. complete darkness then harvest and manicure on friday. Hang them fuckers up to dry until the stems almost snap. 3-6days.. then transfer to jars. only fill your jars 2/3 full at most and use glass mason jars. cap them airtight and store in a cool dark place. Take the cap off twice a day for 15 min and rotate your buds. When i do this step i put my big buds in one jar and my small ones in another jar. My small buds cure in 7-14 days and the large ones cure in 20-28days. I do this so i can smoke some a little sooner without using quick dry methods that ruin your buds. I hope i helped. happy growin bro

you dont have a scope to check out the trichs?

Thanks bro...You've def. helped Can't wait Friday harvest here i Come!!!!!

Giants I think friday will be good for you man, Twnty is right on. You said it didn't have the resin production like some pics, it might have to do with the lighting like you said. I'm getting nice and crystally, but I've got it 13 inchs below a 1000w light. I did just take this pic last night, and thought I'd share.



Just a few more weeks, I'm givin it 2 more weeks, then a 2 week flush. I'm curious to see if my girls turn any kindas of colors.

Thanks Thundercat, yeah i think if i had a stronger light it would produce more trichs, i think.....so yesterday i switched out my hps bulb, and put a brand new one in Hoping maybe it will make it a little more frosty!! Thanks for the help!!

Here's some more pics...Boy is she really turning a purplish color....weird...In the last two pics can anyone notice the pistol is opened up? Is that normal? When i looked under the scope, it was still some ambers, but not very many Not sure if its the strain, or if they will start turning amber faster in the last day or two....I've been flushing for 18 days, i hope that doesn't hurt the potency. Hows she looking??

wish i had a 1000 hps!!! That must grow some Nice nuggs!!

Its only my first full grow with it, but I'm very pleased so far. I kinda wish I had 2 600w, instead of the 1000, and 400. But like I said its working well. My WW is my favorite plant I have. My afghan Kush is also coming along nicely, but the WW has be fast and is getting huge buds on it. I also have 4 WW clones in another bag, that are about 2-3 weeks behind the mother. They are already packing on the buds. They are mostly under my 400, but seem to be loving it!

yea.. im kinda wishing i bought the 2x600 watters instead of the 1k to Thunder.......

hehe, I didn't actually buy my 1000w. It was inherited we'll say. I tried to give it back to the kid, but he moved and his phone got turned off. So I got a 1000w HPS, and I thank him any time I think about him, cus I've never seen or heard anything from him. I'm prolly gonna get a 600w for a project I'd like to do in the futre, but for now my 1000w and my 400mh are working great!

So what do you guys think? Did you look at the updated pics on the last page?

hey i said chop it. kus you cant remember how many weeks it is right?

Lol I totally missed the pics! She is looking good man. I think if she is starting to show some amber trichs, then by friday she will be lookin real good man. You flushing her for 3 weeks shouldn't hurt anything, if anything, it will help give it a better taste in the end. I've never tried a dark period before harvest before, but I'm gonna. I'm just gonna give them 24 hours of dark, because I have other plants I'm gonna be leaving for an extra 6 weeks. I don't figure extra dark time will hurt them any.

What do you think on that one twnty, you've done the extra dark time thing right?

i do it for my transition to flower and it works amazing. i get hairs in the first week guarenteed so i ide have to think it does the same for harvest...

Yeah, i never marked when it started flowering...Should've...rookie mistake I've only been doing this for a couple years....still learning!! Thanks man! Twenty8 where are ya?

DARK, DARK, DARK....hells yea guys you want that darkness. Iv done 24 hours,48,72, all the way up to 120 hours of complete darkness. the perfect number i get is 72 hours. after that i notice no difference. Heres the science behind it......... I give her a good watering the 4-5 days before choppin her. 72 hours before i want to chop, when the lights go off i unplug everything. What this does it it tricks the plant into thinking winter is coming faster than ever; maybe even making it think that the sun has died. When this happens the plants "sucks up", or uses all the remaining nutes to stay alive. It uses these nutes and sugars it has to increase thc production exponentialy. It produces the thc to coat and "protect" the buds from the cold, harsh winter conditions. When my lights go off for 72 hours i dont even peek at my plants. When you go three days without seeing them, then see them right before your harvest you'll smile. You will actually probably hop online and try to get my address so you can send me some!!! lol hope your grow works out man keep the updates a'rollin.
