New Grower First Grow - Dinafem Widow & Amnesia

[Rua]

Good job Rolo. Im growing Dinafem White Widow XXL myself at the moment. I'm about a week ahead of you in terms of time. Don't chop just yet, they seem to keep getting heavier dude. PS, the drooping of the leaves in the begining and the early yellowing of some of the lower leaves seems to be pretty common with this strain. I'm using BioBizz nutes (in between each watering) so I cant really comment on the canna feeding schedule. At this point now, most of my leaves are a lighter shade of green (almost yellowish) but their still alive and working. I'm almost expecting these to go to about 75 days before they meet their maker. Trust me, dont chop the WW just yet, there's more to come! You'r doing a great job.

PS: Sorry I cant comment on the other strain, I'm just working the WW at the moment.

Thanks. I am going to let them go till most of the leaves fall off, there is A LOT of leaves left yet - they seem to be yellowing more rapidly now, the top canopy leaves are yellowing now. You are right as well the leaves have all gone on the widow very light in colour - I was worried the other day that I overfed. I am just using Cannaboost & Cannazym now as the schedule says these can be used up until harvest.

The smell is amazing, the amnesia has the typical amnesia smell and the Widow has an amazing citrus smell to it and very resinous.

Some more!

Not Long to go now! Any guesses on the yield?

I tried putting my bionic eye on it, but darn it it wont work through a pic.

Hi all. Loving this thread ( and this whole site ). I am doing my first grow.. 5 x Jock Horror's from Sativa Seeds, 600 hps canna nutes. I am at day 52 and am finding your pictures and everyone's comments really helpful. I think mine are very similar stage to yours and I am following what you are doing. I would love to see some more pictures of yours. My leafs are starting to yellow and have some orange hairs.
Anyway best of luck with yours and thanks for sharing

Day 61:

Lots more yellowing now on some of the plants. I think that another 5-7 days and 2 of them will be ready to cut - they don't look like they are getting any bigger but then I can't see whats going on inside, I guess they could be getting more dense. The buds leaves have started to turn yellow on these but there is still quite a lot of fan leaves that are still green so I am going to let them 2 go another 5-7 days and see what happens. They all seem to be drinking loads of water so they must have quite a bit of life in them yet

The buds look amazing! I can't wait to try them - pics to follow shortly

Sounds great can't wait to see the pics

Do you have an estimate on yield...or to early to say. Either way you must be pretty stoked.

I am not too sure there is 150+ top canopy bud sites... Most of the plants look like they could be carrying 3-4 oz - there is 2 plants with 8-10 branches that have colas as big as the main ones. (I could be way off here and dreaming of big weight) I may not be wrong though as these plants are all over 5ft tall with 8-10 branches each with loads of other branches coming off of those.

There is a ton of popcorn bud sites under the canopy - I think theres probably around 200+ popcorn buds. I have tried counting the buds on the canopy and below and I lose count by time I get half way through lol

Nothing has been wasted - every leaf that has fallen has been saved and going to be used for creams. I recently got donated some leaves and made a skin cream and its really helped some people I gave it to with psoriasis and eczema. I cooked them in coconut oil for 2-3 hours then strained them off then added some beeswax to the coconut oil - it made quite a nice cream.

Majority of this grow is going to be used for meds and a few zips saved for me and friends (If it yields enough). For anyone thats interested when I come to making the medicine I am going to grade into 3 categories:

1. Bud - Cancer med
2. Popcorn buds + bud leaves - will see how strong the oil comes out - cancer/strong topical med
3. Leaves + stalks - edibles/creams

I will be doing a ethanol extraction - It is more expensive but it has more of a full extract and of course if there is residue left over it is safe if consumed with no risk of poisoning a already sick person.

I would be disappointed if I ended up with less than 300g dry as I need to get 2 months worth of oil out of it. I think worst way there will be 300g dry and the best I can see it being is 700g dry - thats only 3oz per plant so it isn't unrealistic. Again I could be way off - some of the grows I've seen on here have had some impressive yields

Day 61 Pictures:

Loads of weed porn - 30 pics. Had to reduce quality as was taken with an SLR camera - been a nightmare trying to get these over
