A new grow, GG#4/WW/BW

[GreenState]

Blue widow is fattening up at 8 1/2 weeks since flipping. Last one I grew took 10 wks, so I'd guess another week and a half. I am going to wait for more amber this time around though, trichs are all pretty much clear still. Hope all are hanging in there. Have to go to Walgreens for scripts today, not wanting to!

Sprouting wings

Starting to get cloudy, no amber yet

Chugging along, 9 weeks complete. Another week for the blue widow and suspect she'll be close.
A sticky girl. The durban got a ways to go yet.

thats the only problem with growing multiple l strains they dont all finish at the same time ,my girls just finished week 6 ,Half are sativa the other cbd so I have a big harvesting window lol

 

[JohnEmad]

they look great.

JohnEmad Thanks John! I'm ready for these plants to finish up and get my ass out and start working. Fortunately my work has been determined by the state to be essential work, so that's a good thing.
oldjarhead100 These 2 plants are definitely not in sink(g). I suspect the durban could still be a month out from being finished. A couple hairs now turning. All the best guys and stay safe. I have to go to the grocery store this morning---wish me luck!
Found a face mask out in my drywall tool box, so will be wearing it.

SoOrbudgal So I've decided to experiment and go with one of your Folgers container grows(lol) These 2 clones have only revegged for about 2 weeks, just starting to throw normal leaves, and still not much of a root system. All things point to don't do it, but tomorrow after I chop down Mom, it's 12/12 for them and try sending them back into flower. Just don't have a decent place to grow them outside or inside this summer with expected company for a month or so in July(virus permitting)..otherwise I'd grow them on my deck like last year. Poor little girls are going to be awful confused. If all goes to plan they'll be done before July 4th.

The 3 autos I got in the folgers so far only been in there few days. I stabbed the pots took out my frustrations LOL I sure hope they drain OK I've not run much fluid through them. I just may take them into the garage and drill round holes like my big pots have. I think if they can grow from a solo cup, they could grow from these? I'm going to keep saving these coffee containers because if this works i'm going to do a SOG with 9 sometime maybe next winter. I don't want to buy anymore 1gal. I've got a lot but there in use.

SoOrbudgal I cut some holes around the outside at the base of the containers. Then cut a piece of filter fabric(landscape fabric) and placed it in the bottom covering the holes. Should drain, usually I'd put a little gravel on top of the fabric them soil. I agree after watching the solo cup challenge, especially with autos (these obviously are photos).
We'll see, nothing to lose but a little electricity And yes, that is snow on the lawn outside the window (g)!​

Hey Green the birds are chirping outside ,so if not at your house they will be soon and then theirs a hen chicken that thinks its a rooster what a sick sound that is lol

oldjarhead100 Good morning OJH, 30 degrees this morning, at least the wind died down! Spring is coming for sure, a couple of daffodils out now, 2 pairs of ducks in the pond yesterday and 2 deer out in the woods yesterday morning....all good signs! Even saw a few turkeys the other day coming out in the open. Well, my work season is officially kicking off, got a few calls yesterday and off to a service call this morning. Seems my customers are worried that I may not be able to do my work...no need, I'm essential (lol)..for good or bad. With my woodstove still running, 3 days later and I trimmed the blue widow off the stems and final trim this morning. Into to a gallon ziplock baggie for a few days of burping, then into jars(4 qt I'd guess). All the best, and stay safe
(did a little bondage on my clones, -a couple days after flipping I see pistils already (lol), poor things, only a 2 week reveg period for them after rooting)

 

[GreenState]

Well over estimated, ended up with 3 full jars of the Blue Widow. Looks like I close, days away from chopping down the durban poison..I'm going to be short on jars.
A little bondage on the BW clones, shame I have to force them along having already flipped to 12/12. But it is what it is. I did also top the couple of shoots that were becoming dominant .
Stay safe

 

[oldjarhead100]

I have watering hoses layed out in my driveway as well as grow boxes so I texted my guy and said please dont plow , I dont hear any birds this morning but I can hear them thinking fuck we came early lol

 

[GreenState]

oldjarhead100 we ended up with 3-4" of snow, grounds still covered this morning. Not the best of weather to start up my work season!
Looks like storms for Tuesday as well, probably all rain.

 

[GreenState]

Plugging along here, still extending the life of miss Durban(12.5 wks of flower). I do believe I'll be close by the end of the week (I know, I said that 2 weeks ago lol).
My fast turn around coffee container monster clones are also looking good.

 

[JohnEmad]

Looking real nice

 

[GreenState]

JohnEmad Thanks John!! I'll be happy when the durban is done and I can focus the light solely on the blue widows.
To be honest, I start getting bored with the whole process about this time of year (lol).

 

[GreenState]

5 weeks since flipping to 12/12. The blue widow is always so colorful. Pistils turn early and throughout flowering. Had to add some bondage to the taller one(12"), was beginning to lean and get floppy. Probably a result of the small containers

 

[GreenState]

So, end of wk 10 since flipping. On the 2 previous grows of this blue widow strain I went 11 wks before taking them down, going to go at least 12 wks this time to continue the experiment. Stems are definitely "whimpier" growing in the coffee cans. (or buds are heavier ) The one plant is looking like a live oak! (lol)
