Nice lookin gals there! Im watching this grow now. Ive got a seedsman white widow going as well but shes had a hard hard time of it and doesnt look anything like your girls.
She seems to have pulled through, id love it if she ended up looking half as good as these girls lol.

Daily update

Day 22 widows
Day 17 Zkittlez

~72°F lights off, 78°F lights on
~55-75%RH
-750ml RO water per widow, 600ml RO water for zkittlez
-2.5ml/gal Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus
-18/6 light cycle
-Light distance 23 in

The girls are doing well. Did some more leaf tucking to get the good spots to have some direct light. The zkittlez is getting bigger everyday. The girls got a watering today with cal-mag. Next feed will be in a couple of days when they dry out. I am planning on mixing in oyster shell flour to help with the ph buffer in the soil through top dressing at 1 tbsp/gal of medium so 4 tbsp at next watering. I have some good actions shots of the biggest widow. There are some photos of the lst and how the main node is bending right up from being knocked sideways. This was super easy and I recommend to everyone because the other nodes are growing fast and are starting to get stronger every day.

Glad to have you along for the ride. The widows are impressing me for sure. Nice vigorous growth. I wonder if maybe you got a runt seed. It happens!

You guys would know better than me haha. I can't wait for it though. The one widow looks to be a nice even grower if I can maintain that main stem and keep her low. Fingers crossed I can pull at least a little smoke from these. I am just flying by the seat of my pants right now so any day things can go really sideways but I'm trying to stay positive and I got this haha

Nothing really new to report today. They seem to be growing about an inch or so a day because I am moving my light up at least an inch a day. The widows are really starting to fill in and the zkittlez is stretching fast and looks so good. The leaves and everything are very uniform and like the model image of a Mary Jane plant. I'm really excited and can't wait for them to start blowing up even more. I installed my carbon filter today as my garage had a nice dank smell to it every time you walk into in. So I got away with almost a month of no filter use, and I probably could have gone longer but I don't want people coming around asking all those questions lol

So the girls are absolutely loving life! Honestly things are going good in the grow and life just in general so I'm happy. The widows are loving life and are bushing out nicely. They are definitely a very different grower from the zkittlez. The zkittlez looks great as well. I am thinking about bending her over in a day or so. She is getting tall quickly. They are all at about 5-6in tall, that's including the bent over widows at their highest point. The widow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] is going to be the champ out of those two widows I can already tell. She is bushing out very fast and has at least a few side stems that are getting almost as fat as the main stem, look at the photo they are looking good! Fingers crossed she is a high yielder! Today I top dressed at 1tbsp/gal of medium oyster shells, pure calcium carbonate, to help with the balancing of the pH. I might do it one more time in a month but we will see how the plants are doing. The smell is getting stronger and stronger. Everytime I pull them out to tuck leaves or for feeding I get that nice dank smell and it's smelling goooood! Til tomorrow later everyone!

Ok guys so I'm a little stressed now. I noticed what seemed to be some male parts on the bigger widow. I attached a photo of one of the nuts hanging. What do you guys think? I pulled it just because what's the harm if it's just one pistil. Let me know what you think. I hope this plant didn't go Hermie on me....

If you really are starting flower, watch the nodes closely and get pictures of the plants in natural light. You'll be safe on pollination until they begin opening. What I find odd is finding a sac this early and you haven't mentioned a stretch. 6" tall plant doesn't sound like it has hit maturity and there would be pre flowers popping up.

I think it’s just a swollen callyx but it’s hard to tell from the photos.
