Today marks 5 weeks since I switched the lights to 12/12. At the end of last week I noticed that some of her pistils were starting to darken. I was a little concerned because it is definitely early for brown pistils but all of the other plants in the same system were looking great and stacking white pistils so I just continued to watch her. The pistils were slowly fading from the core so I knew it wasn't a light or nutrient burn issue. Well as you can see in the pictures her calyxes are swelling up and she is starting to ripen! WTF? 5 weeks of flower and she looks like she may be ready for harvest soon. I have never seen a photoperiod plant progress so quickly. OSSC lists this one at 65 to 70 days of flowering but I don't think this one will take near that long. I don't think she will yield a lot since she only stacked calyxes for a couple weeks but looks like she is going to have some tasty buds and could be a great candidate for anyone looking for a fast flowering strain for quick grows? Hard to say at this point since there are no harvests of this strain to compare to yet. I am excited to run another one of these to see if I get similar results though. The trichomes are starting to cloud up a little but they still have some time to go. I might be flushing her in a week if she keeps moving like she is.
@Njaak, Yeah I am kinda neglecting my testers also. I do much better when I focus on one setup at a time. There is definitely a learning curve to running hydro but the rewards are there once you get a routine down. You are ahead of most on your first run and as long as you improve a little every grow then you are doing great in my opinion.
@Njaak, Thanks man! I like to top them to start with 4 main branches and then just kinda watch them. If a branch is shooting up I let it go. Then I trim the branches that don't look like they are trying to grow up fast.
@MomnPoppaSeed, I am doing some slurricane and sugar cane from in house genetics and the apple sundae from cannarado. Probably going to try to make some pollen from the slurricane and let the apple sundae get a taste of it. I also just germinated a fastbuds purple lemonade that I might experiment with too. You can do it with autos also. I did a short diary called "making seeds"with autos. I am sure you would have had a much more exciting title for it lol.
@Wicked_Stix, YES!! That's what I'm talk about..
How exciting is that? That would be so exciting. Which strains are you looking to Lez out?? I haven't experimented with anything like that b4 but then I've been growing autos up until recently.
With photo strains we dont have to pay $$$ for seeds to experiment with.
Love it!!
@MomnPoppaSeed, Hahaha damn the dry spells!! I have a couple little breeding projects planned so if it all works out we might even get to see some girl on girl action soon! ππ
@Jwjoh, totally makes sense now how you said the buds didn't get as big as others. This one only worked on building buds for a couple weeks. Not much time to get big buds on them.
stunning results g-meister. top drawer nugs a reward for your work hombre.
might have to investigate that recipe of yours - surprise the missus with my newly acquired baking skills!!!
a quality journal - nuff said! πππ
@mr_h_kovert, Thanks for all the support! And hell yeah you definitely need to try them. It has a more of a narcotic effect than smoking. I am still recovering from the coma after eating a couple pieces last night.
quality over quantity innit and i gets the impression you aint gonna be going short over the next few months. you could of course be a bit of a hoova - i know my intake has substantially increased since i started growing me own. [I ought to mention that missus k is a j edger hoova too!]
@mr_h_kovert, haha I try to hoova down what I can but I like sharing too. Will definitely be stocked up for a little while. Doubt that will stop me from sprouting some new ones though!
Love this breeder and after seeing this I'm going try out the purple punch cookies! Really nice journal! I recommend try the alien gorilla strain from them it's my new favorite strain to grow super great stuff!
