My Island Girl is doing so well. She is really starting to get frosty, At the end of the week just taking a few fan leaves off that were casting shadows on buds get my figures all sticky. I didn't even touch the bud itself, the fan leaves are getting all frosty down their fingers.
The branch stretch has definitely stopped now and the buds are starting the swell. Buds are still relatively small but it's only day 28 on a beautiful girl that the breeder says to harvest on day 70! 42 more days of bud growth and swelling.... OMG I'm so excited and a bit fearful at the same time. I really want to make it to the end without any issues.
The stock looks thick and healthy, the branches are strong and firm. I can't see her needing a scrog.
I'm a little on the fence about the amount of cola's she is growing. I'm pondering if I should removing some cola's in certain area's to make more room. My main concern is the remaining 42 days of bud swelling and growth might result in the cola's growing into each other. That defiantly wouldn't be good, removing them now would be better for her and help the remaining buds grow bigger and stronger. Remove them later when they start touching wouldn't be as idea..... but that is assuming they will grow that big and I just don't know if they will..... To cut or to keep?????
@MovingOn, Thanks man! As for the seed companies I honestly don't know, I've read some stuff about Next Gen, DJ Short, BC Bud Depot, Canuk, JOTI, and JAH. There are some.... disagreements.... about whom worked where.... who has original genetics.... some are stollen or not pure etc, etc.
Honestly I don't really care, I don't have any affiliation or loyalty to any of them. I have some Next Gen seeds, Canuk seeds, and some BC Bud Depot seeds. I've been very impressed with the Next Gen seeds so far, but with that being said I just had the first few vapes from the Canuk Northern Lights and the high is fucking amazing (maybe I just got a great pheno, I don't know).
My next grow I'll have two BC Bud Depot strains (God Bud and Tangie Cookies) and one of the Next Gen strains (Dynamite). Really I'm just trying stains out to find what I like and don't like.
@stevieb21,Thanks, she's a very strong girl. Her and my Blueberry are going nuts, yet right next to them the Bubba Kush seems to struggle. I'm new to growing MJ and I don't fully understand the strains and pheno's yet, but clearly they can be very dramatic.
