My Widow is set to easily be the biggest plant I have grown in over 40 years. Hope I have the lighting to help her fill out fully.
btw, I can send a fluffy towel to you and spider in advance.

 

[Retodd]

You’re a good man John!
It’s my only advantage and I’m gonna take full use out of it. I do hope she does good. She’s looking great

 

[JohnEmad]

hey Retodd , Spidermite and all others in this.
Don't be shy. throw in your grow pictures.
Here is my soon to be finished indoors Gypsy Widow.
Topped a couple times and will have to use some major tying down but I think I can make it happen with 7 feet headroom.
She is now 36" tall and maybe 45" wide. Showing plenty of pistils so it's a girl for sure.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well she is a rock star for sure. I would win the ugly grow contest with outdoor photos in reveg LOL no pics for now of those waiting on a miracle with them. But my indoor tents look good just a bunch of autos at different stages.

 

[JohnEmad]

I bet you have had exceptional outdoor grows in the past. Seems many in the PNW are having that reveg or semi flowering problem this year. I just threw it in a large pot and gave it water and some nutrients. The Sun and genetics have done the rest

 

[Retodd]

I’ll be down in that field on Tuesday. I’ll take pix of my photos then

 

[JohnEmad]

one of several fields...rough going...lol. Look forward to the pics Retodd

JohnEmad Back up to the right of my shop is the old horse paddock. You go in the entrance and there’s a 60sq’ on the left and a little more on the right. It’s a perfect camouflage for the photos. Down behind the fire pit and along the creek is where I have a couple autos. The only ppl that come up my private 1/2 mile driveway are friends and the meter reader. He doesn’t even get out of his truck, just shoots a scanner. Then I have the one auto GSC in the tent.
Life would be so much easier if they’d just legalize in my state!

 

[Retodd]

3 granddaddy purple, 1 grapefruit auto, and 2 GSC? Them I’m not sure about.....they were supposed to be GSC autos, but as you can see from my tent grow and the one in the 1st picture, they can’t be. They certainly are healthy and smell great tho. Guess we’ll just see in time. The one in the 5th picture is a grapefruit auto, with the old barn in the background. The granddaddy’s are stunted from being on my porch for so long in the shade of my roof. They’ve only been in the sun for 2 weeks now.

 

[JohnEmad]

love the setting. Plants look very happy.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Beautiful Retodd just lovely dapple sunlight, man i so enjoy my woods. I have to agree my 2 GSC smell lovely and are sticky leaf still from going to bud to early they are reveg stage and slow to grow. I'm going to have all 8 photos be under 5ft do to my f-up. But......there is hope always

 

[Retodd]

It’s funny bud, I don’t know what to label my indoor grow as since it was purchased as a auto. I can tell right now that it’s the best indoor grow I’ve ever done. It’ll still be a granddaddy that will take you and spider on tho.

 

[Retodd]

SoOrbudgal I didn’t too the gsc and not planning to. In a couple weeks I’ll drive a stake at a 45 degree angle, facing north, and tie and train the main stalks to them. I watched a growing technique that I want to try out.

 

[JohnEmad]

Finally cleared out my 4x4 tent so brought in the Gypsy Widow. She was over 4 ft tall and at least that wide so i trimmed it good and then suppercropped the crap out of her.
I have 1 foot of space to raise the light that are set to 18/6 until the bends are healed up some. Then it's 12/12 So this will have to work. Think I may have bit off more then I can handle this year.
Work has started back up and I have far too much on the grow. Whats life without selfmade challenges?
:laugh:

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Absolutely correct about that statement of self made challenges JohnEmad i'm so used to being on my feet that i've not even slowed down since retirement. I focus so much more time on growing indoors with these tents i'm doing lots of different growing besides weed. Boy she is going to be a handful wild grow but fun to me and you'll be able to take great care of her

 

[Retodd]

JohnEmad Even tho I’m not going against you n spider. Here’s my mystery gal. She’s around the same size as yours right now, just not supercropped. Like I said before, I still plan on putting her outside. I will make her my personal project and continue to train her tho. The tie downs are going to be replaced with stakes for each branch and I’m thinking of making a giant scrog for her in the field....lol. ‘Too much time on my hands’ 🎶

 

[JDU]

I'm gettin the PVC today!

 

[JohnEmad]

Nice big plant. Too big to flower inside I suppose so we are doing opposite things. Me inside and you out.
Nice to have the time to tend the gardens.
I am back to work nearly full time so my time is limited again.
Cheers.

 

[oldjarhead100]

that would be really cool a scrog in the field take pictures,last year I did a flux in the ground some did great some not lol, and watch those stakes I went to sit on a bucket to do some trimming and stabbed myself on the cheek bad enough I had to go get a bandage on it ,swore at myself all the way up 2 flights of stairs lol

 

[oldjarhead100]
