Hope everyone had a good 4/20! I took some pics yesterday to document the progress of the White Widow Auto, 65 days from sprouting. It was an Attitude freebie. It's in a 5 gallon DWC bubble bucket and sharing a 4ftx4ftx6ft high homemade box with three Barney's Farm Critical Rapido Autos also in 5 gallon buckets. 24 hour 400w HPS light with a few extra CFL daylight bulbs scattered around for a little extra blue light. GH Flora series nutes with calmag additive are used with artesian well water (PH 7.4, 100ppm TDS) and corrected to about 5.7/5.9 PH. The WW plant is 60 inches tall, somewhat larger than I expected judging from Dinafem's description of the strain. This is my first attempt at an indoor grow and first DWC experience, previously I've grown vegetable gardens outdoors. DWC is certainly the way to go!:thumbs:

..i also got that free seed from attitude...they are the best place to get seeds!. Way to grow man!!:smelly:Thanks, Spin! I think you're gonna like that WW when you pop it! It's a vigorous plant and seems to be easy to grow...I've had no problems with it other than the fact that it got bigger than I had planned on and began to take over the space. I tied a loop of butcher's string around it about two-thirds of the way up to keep it bunched up and more manageable...it doesn't seem to mind...good girl.
Looking good brother. I have a Dinafem WW going along w/ some other auto's as well. Mine too was acquired as a freebie from Attitude. You must have taken advantage of that sweet December freebie deal too, lol. Mine is looking good as well. She's on day 36 today, starting to flower, just started w/ bloom nutes. I'm using GH series for nutes also. I'm about a month behind you. Look forward to seeing how you're harvest goes. How much longer you thinking you're gonna let her go? Another 2-3 weeks? Here's a pic of my girl (WW is on right) w/ a Greenhouse Green-O-Matic beside her (both started on 3/11).
Thanks man! Your girls look nice and healthy too! We are almost exactly a month apart and I must say my plants did a lot of work in that month! I don't know exactly how long they will go before finishing because I've done everything possible to delay flowering and increase veg time, in the hopes of having bigger plants/ yields. So far it seems to be working...I didn't have flowers at 36 days like you do, in fact there were only some preflowers on mine at that stage. Right now she is still putting on lots of flowers and the whole plant is still vigorous and green so I'm going to play it by ear, and try to judge enough time at the end for at least some kind of proper flush. I'll keep you posted....here are a couple shots from earlier today....
Progress report: Buds building nicely, still all white pistils so there's more to come. My little 4ftx4ft space is getting crowded! The white widow is at right rear in this shot, other 3 plants are Barney's Critical Rapido Autos. They are starting to build nice nugs too! Trying to be patient! The smell is getting pretty good in there, should be at least moderately tasty!
Mikey1 Those are some good lookin ladies ya got there! I've been lookin at the WW auto for sometime now just can't make up my mind! I've got a dinafem regular photo WW going right now.. wanted to ask ya, is she a stinky lady? good lookin critical rapidos also brotha!! 
Thanks 11-T6! The WW auto is starting to exude a rich aroma. Stinky lady? I guess that's a matter of opinion- I kinda like it! She is just starting to develop some decent trichomes and I have noticed the scent becoming a bit stronger lately. Not an indoor stealth strain without some sort of exhaust.
Yes, the Rapidos are going to be heavy hitters. They're over twice as big as the catalog description predicted and have more than twice the predicted number of side branches. I'm running out of room but luckily they are slowing down so maybe we'll make it ok......

nice nice... I was definitely talking about the aroma they put off I was thinking about doing a stealthier grow this next go around was curious about the smell.. I'd say you are gonna have a nice harvest there in a couple weeks!!
Update, Day 75 Pictures
Day 75. Had to replace the 400w HPS bulb this week. I had shut it off while doing maintenance and afterward it wouldn't restart. Replaced the bulb and noticed it looked a little brighter and a bit different color, but didn't think much about it. Well, it must have been a bit brighter because I had some light burn on some leaves the next day. Rearranged things somewhat and was able to get a little further from the hot bulb. No serious damage but a few ugly burn marks on my previously pristine White Widow.
The pistils on all plants are just starting to show some brown/orange but the plants are still producing abundant young white ones. Vegetation is still nice and green and the plants are still in their prime. I am thinking these girls may go to 100 days for full maturity.
The two biggest plants have gotten so heavy that I'm having problems with the net pot/ bucket lids flexing when I lift them up to swap buckets. Hoping they don't crack and drop my girls into the soup.
I counted 14 colas on the Widow. A while back I had to bend its main branch 90 degrees to prevent it from over reaching the lights, and since that time the side branches have really taken off and filled in.
Here are some pics...biggest plant is the widow, other 3 are critical rapidos. 4 plants, 4x4ft. room, 400w HPS and 4 little daylight cfl's. My 4x4x4x4 grow...
