Nice! Looks like some good trichome production already. Always a good sign. :fire::fire:

Man I'm hoping so! Lol. I beleive they are really liking the feed right now. Haven't given me many problems so far. I hear great things about the seed bank I got em from. Growers choice seeds. They were a little pricy but should be worth it. I've been wanting a quality white widow for a while. Lol

 

[Farmer P]

Just checked out their site. Looks good. Had to bookmark it. I'm always willing to pay more for superior product.

Ya the guys at the club around here (harborside) were really high on them. So far I have not been let down. Both strains I have going are from them

 

[Thejoeybrown]

I posted some pics yesterday but I'm postin a few more today. Lol.
So far I am extremely happy with how they have responded to being defoliated/stripped. Less than a week later and it already is bushy as hell in there. Can't hardly tell they were defoliated so heavily.
I also love the bud structure especially in the white widows. The last 2 pics show the structure and node spacing really well. Those girls are set up to stack some nice colas. All I have to do is keep them happy and they're gonna take care of me. Lol

Awesome man, you should be happy with them they are all in the sweet spots.

Thanks brotha. Ya so far they've been super kick back. It took me a little bit early on to get their feed dialed in because the Jack Herer didn't like the N as much as the white widow and being on a drip I had to find a good spot for both. But since I dialed it in they've been rollin along.
So far I'm very happy with the genetics. We still have about 7 weeks to go so it's still early.

Shit they gonna start getting busy now!

 

[Thejoeybrown]

Definitely. I can tell they've gotten their vigor back since the defol. I look forward to watching all those budsites fill up over the next 2 weeks

me too! Im wanting to see how well they fill out!

 

[Thejoeybrown]

Just want to keep these updates going. Especially for those who are thinking about Defoliation and those who think the plant would suffer. These are 5 days after stripping them (I planned on clipping every fan leaf with a stem. I ended up leaving 5-10% of leaves out of PURE laziness. Lol it was tedious, late, and I was tired. Lol. I didn't want to do more the next day as I wanted them to recover quickly). You can see a few posts back how bushy it was and how bare it was after I stripped them. As you can see 5 days later it is damn near a jungle again. Bud sites are forming great and rapidly. And as for the health you can see how the fan leaves that have grown out look. They are lush, healthy, nice lime green veins.
It helps that they are pretty well dialed in with their nutes and getting fed twice a day right now. Probably 3 times a day in the next couple weeks. Nonetheless I am very happy how they've responded and I look forward to continue experimenting with t and find my own "perfect" technique.

healthy plants make me happy.. never would of thought of my self a plant person tho but i do enjoy it, heh.

hope all is well with ya man.

They are looking pretty good! Looks like most of the fans have grew back.. Did you loillpop?

I did but because of the defol and the training I barely had to do much. The Jack Herer had more lower stuff that I trimmed away but still not much. The one benefit of the extra veg time payed off in that sense as they have all been shaped pretty well. Not to mention they are only 2 months from popping Ground. I believe they popped on May 19 or so so it's not like they were vegging forever

All those little fan leaves I left are now the size of regular fan leaves. Lol. I could have stripped them a more but you saw them. Lol they were pretty bare

Everything's goin good brotha! How's the drying/curing going

 

[Thejoeybrown]

Amazing the limits of these plants. These pics are 5 days apart

Everything's goin good brotha! How's the drying/curing going

i figure tomorrow day 8 for the 2 light phenos, the dark one probably 2 more days maybe.

im doing ok.. just thinking its almost time i start feeding my solo cup like you coco guys i think thats what i did last solo cup.. but everything is a fucking blur with what i did with my plants. laughs.

so lets say i do not let the media dry out. so whats the proper way to feed. i know i have to have run off. unlike my soil with micros with kick ass kongfu ( fuck that 20 percent bullshit )

but so yeah, but afte you feed.. do i haev to flush with water? or do i let it sit, or do you only yeah man whats up.. how would you treat a solo cup with coco to grow a plant manule. hhe.

unfortunately i have to veg for 10 weeks so it sorta fucks me every time so far. but i will flower a solo cup yet.

chris.

 

[Farmer P]

Sup guys. Looking good bro. Crazy how fast they filled back in huh. You been shooting them with steroids or what lol. Mine are starting to grow really fast too. Man I'm in a funk today. I was falling asleep at work which is the worst. Then I got home and made the mistake of laying on my bed for just a few minutes (I thought) and woke up two and a half hours later. I never take naps. Now I still have to work out and I probably will have a hard time sleeping. Oh well, I'll just have to get extra medicated lol. My boss says just take two shots of whiskey and you'll sleep like a baby but I don't like hard liquor. Might have to try it anyway.

In COCO you feed with every watering. I feed full strength nutes twice a day. And will feed that way 3 times a day coming up soon. I've never done soil indoors but if the roots are completely filling the cup and it the soil is totally inert I would imagine it would be good to feed every watering. You can flush once a week or 2 weeks to be safe. But I'm sure someone has done it successfully. @EventHorizan you got any thoughts on the subject? Lol
