Out of the 5 only the Blue Kush didn't stand up. It did pop. I may have fiddled a little.

Slow going with a lot of wind. The plant is still half the size of the Diesel next door. Short and stout

Plant is settling into a 40l fabric container nicely. I transplanted 6 days ago. Its still quite short compared with the others (Diesel, kushncheese) but looks very good. Had fairly good sun but it has been windy but the Blue Widow is handling because its short.

The plant is looking great. Quite a lot of sunshine, still getting about 8 hrs direct a day. Still fairly windy most days but growing has been good. Watering almost everyday, I do let soil get a little dry. Added some Guaroflo this week (in the watering for bigger plants). Kelp added about 10 days ago.

Plants were topped 6 days ago. New growth is pushing through nicely. I might wait a week longer next time. Had lots of rain this week with spotty sunshine, so its been easy on the regrowth. I Reckon they'll take off next week.

Plants seems pretty happy and growing nicely from its top that it received a few weeks back. Not as much growth as the Diesel next door but it seems pretty healthy and happy. Bits of rain, cloud, wind but lots of summer sunshine and good growing.

Blue Widow is my first Dinafem to start flowering, about 2 weeks in maybe touch longer. Definitely faster to reach flower than any landrace I'm growing (swazi, transkei). Nicely noticeable, the Diesel plant next door is still happily vegging. Otherwise its been windy and cloudy but the days are still long and the sun is still out.

Have a look at some of my other plants already growing in the meantime: https://www.instagram.com/p/BpewoDXBrlL/ Pic 1 - front, #jackherer X #swazi back, #southafrican sativa 2. Jack herer X Swazi 3. The toughest unknown SA #landrace #sativa #seed ever. Mid winter germinate, pot was too small for ages. It is now my favourite #plant. Thriving. Colours are unbelievable.

I see your diary is about a blue widow .. where does the picture of the beautiful kush and transkei landrace fit in ?

@@Simsalabim, i reckon so. All males i've ever pulled show really early. But we'll find out in next month for sure. Mid summer southern hemisphere soon.

hey @@@@Simsalabim, Yeah diary is about BW (and my Diesel plant, next diary) but i have other odds and ends plants going. The Kush is bag seed from a section, Planted 1 Nov and getting giant in its pot, the Transkei is also bagseed but popped mid-winter and been going ever since (pre-flower 6 months later). It my favorite plant, uniform green color, no issues, purple leaf steams, takes less water. (added a few more photos for you)

Good luck growing our Blue Widow my friend. I'll be along for the ride and watching with interest mate 👍 I see a nice selection of our genetics 👍Have you grown out many Dinafem strains? All the best 🙏 Mark..

@DinafemSeeds, Thanks Mark. First time growing Dinafem, looking forward to it. Growing 1 x : Diesel, Blue Widow, KushnCheese, Deep Cheese and Blue Kush. They all popped but the Blue Kush didn't stand up. I may have fiddled with it haha. Planted a fresh seed.
