I wanted to show people the potential that my 2 white dwarfs have. I never thought AF dwarfs could get really dank until I browsed the web for grow logs of it and I found these pictures...reminder these are NOT from my grow but wow...I hope my dwarfs turn out this good.

Couldn't edit my post so had to reply. I wanted to add that those pics above were grown with JUST CFLs and 2 of the 3 FF nutes!

The dwarfs and G13 Thai SS received their second feeding of FF Grow Big with a pre-adjusted pH of 7.0. I don't care to measure run off unless I have a problem. I'm watering each plant on an 'as needed' basis. The temp is currently 74F with 55% humidity. All the plants are green and healthy, even the 1 8BK perked up. They are all on 20/4 400w metal halide light cycle . One of the dwarfs is already confirming it's a female while the other seems like it's a little slower but I expect a 2nd confirmation in a few days. The G13 Thai will go outside in 2 weeks while 1 8bk will go a week after that. So that leaves my 2 white dwarfs, 1 G13 Super Skunk feminized, and 1 8 Ball Kush for indoor. If you haven't already read Jorge Cervantes Growers Bible, I highly suggest it.

I was using a T5, F20, Walmart " grow light" and 60w CFL for the first 2 weeks or so then switched to MH.

I mentioned that I will be posting pics once a week and I just posted some 2 days ago ( see page 2) so on 4/20 appropriately enough, I will post new pics. Thanks for watching

Just letting you know I will be following from now on. I'd like to grow my very own plant in the fall so I have all summer to learn from your genius brains here.

KillerBudG · #61 (**permalink**) Apr-19-2009, 03:34

Well I am posted not to far away from this log so I will be checking back on 420 after I smoke. Got 1 blunt of northern lights for wakeupBAke

As promised, pics on 4/20 of my 2 confirmed ladies plus the G13s. One of my 8 Ball Kush was transplanted outside already and the other is still small so I didn't take a picture. The dwarfs got their last dose of Grow Big (so 3 feeds of GB total) on Saturday 4/18. I will feed them just distilled water until Thursday when I will start Tiger Bloom/Big Bloom. G13 Thai SS will continue to get just GB while G13 SS fem will get her first taste of GB on Thursday. Temp right now is 75F with 48% humidity. 400w Metal Halide conversion bulb on a 20/4 light schedule. I will switch to HPS in 6-7 days.
The pictures are:
1-White Dwarf1 in the early stages of flowering
2-White Dwarf2 in early flowering.
3-White Dwarf1 overhead view
4-G13 Super Skunk feminized
5-G13 Thai SS

Happy 420!

are you following the fox farm feeding schedule?

it recommends feeding grow big and big bloom throught veg (the big bloom is pretty much every feeding).

rusty trichrome recommends using half dosages twice a week for a full dosage amount as they can run a little "hot". they also cause salt build-up pretty quick so make sure to flush once a month or so.

the feeding schedule is on the fox farm website. and check out some posts about the FF nutes. there are several around.

the plants are looking lovely by the way!

good growing!

Thanks Shake. I am just trying my own feed schedule based on lots of grows and info I read. I am going to flush accordingly and monitor the plants closely. I cant wait to see some buds in a few weeks. I think this grow has a lot of potential.

headshake · #65 (**permalink**) Apr-20-2009, 12:48

sounds good. that really is the best way. make sure to keep lots of detailed notes, etc.

let us know how they work out for you!

I see that you are now using the MH, have you noticed any difference yet? Also, why are you switching to HPS? You have two autoflowers and a regular strain in the box, won't that affect the regular strain, possibly making it bloom to soon? I plan on doing some autoflowers aswell, should I MH in the first month, and HPS in the second? Or does that really even matter?

Shovelhandle · #67 (**permalink**) Apr-22-2009, 18:24

you guys flush in veg? I haven't had to flush other than pre harvest or I thought I may have over fed them once. I have not used FF, I had been using the complete BC starter kits for the last 3-4 grows (plus many additional suppliments) and no salt appearing, no nute lockout. Am I just lucky or am I missing something?

Yes I have noticed a big difference. The plants LOVE the MH. I'm switching to HPS because HPS is more for flowering. The regular plants won't flower because the lights will remain on 20/4 until the AFs are harvested. The day I harvest the AFs, I will pop MH back in and go to 18/6 and then eventually 12/12. You could really do an entire grow start to finish with just HPS or just MH and everything would turn out fine, people have done it, read around the grow logs.

You are correct in that MH is better in the first month and then HPS in the second. What kind of AF strains are you thinking about trying? I've heard so many good things about auto AK47 x LR2 plus there are some new strains like Ak47 x Diesel af dwarf or the red dwarf from buddah.

"you guys flush in veg? I haven't had to flush other than pre harvest or I thought I may have over fed them once.

My veg flush is basically just 3 seperate waterings of just distilled water. I haven't experienced salt build up yet, as I'm monitoring ph pretty good. However, I did have a little bit of nute burn on the tips of a couple lower leaves.

They are really starting to smell up the grow area and there are nice resinous white hairs coming out. I'm also about 70% sure that my G13 Thai SS is a female which is great news. Temp and humidy is currently 76F/52%. Thank you for your comments guys, keep 'em coming and if you don't mind, throw me some rep!

lol More pics coming on Monday.

lunarose · #69 (**permalink**) Apr-22-2009, 22:44

4204life, I think you will be pleased with your dwarfs they do continue to grow while finishing and get close to 2 ft. I can tell your two girls are loving your care.

I am probably just gonna start of with something simple, maybe the basic lowryder. Did you order Regular or Fem AF seeds? Another question I had was about light leaks, they are irrelevant in a dwarf grow? Is that correct?

So my computer of 5 years finally took it's last power breath this past weekend...

I just ordered a new one today and typing this on a friends laptop that I'm borrowing.

The pics will have to wait until I can install the camera software on my new PC.

So we're now past the halfway mark for the white dwarfs.

The dwarf ladies are doing great and smell delicious. They have had their first taste of Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom and are responding well. I will add Open Sesame to the mix in about a week. I cant wait to be harvesting some buds in about 30-40 days. Breeder suggests 65 days from seed to harvest but I want to ensure amber trichs so rather than waste money on a microscope, I'll simply flower a little longer. I don't care if it's 5% amber or 20% amber, but I know I'll have SOME amber lol

My G13s and Kush are all getting Grow Big now and doing just fine.

Hope everyone is healthy and tokin'/vapin' some good ganja!

FourTwenty4Life · #72 (**permalink**) Apr-29-2009, 15:25

A few pictures that I was able to upload today. You will notice in the first picture that the G13 fem SS has some issues going on with her leaves. I think this is due to transplant shock because I upgraded her to a bigger pot. I could be wrong though.

As you can see, both white dwarfs are flowering nicely. HPS still on 20/4. I am considering trying 19/5 but I don't know how much of a difference it would make

headshake · #73 (**permalink**) Apr-29-2009, 15:48

be careful letting your ladies go to long. once they pass the "event horizon" the THC starts to degrade quickly.

Agreed. I think they have at least 30 days to go before harvest. They smell amazing though. It's not skunky or piney but more of dank sweet earthy smell.

Open Sesame next week followed by 1 more week of TB/BB and finally flushing the last 2 weeks. 18/6 for the last 24hr light cycle. Harvest at the end of 6th hour of darkness. Chop, Dry, Cure, Vaporize =)

Looking delicious so far, keep it up!
