This is going to be a long one. Took a clone from my flowering great white shark and I'm going to monster crop a bunch of branches and then sea of green those.
First I have to reveg this clone and then it has to grow a bunch of branches which have to be long enough themselves to clone.
Going to have to clone those then have to root and then veg for at least a week or two before I transplant them into the final pot, let the roots grow another week and then I can flower.
Yea this is really gonna be a long one.
Starting to look a little busier but I still don't see any major branch development. I do know that reveg tends to look shrubby for a while so I know it's on its way. But this plant had such short internodes I might have to move the light way up and deprive it to get it to stretch.
Getting even busier. The flowers on it have stretched way out, tiny single leaves are popping up. Yay reveg!
Didn't think monster cropping would take so long to revert to veg.
Wed: very leafy. Buds are stretching. I think next week branches will start popping up
Starting branch production which is nice to see. Wondering if I should defoliate the older leaves to let the branches get light. I had topped it which looks like the right choice.
D37: gave the little gal a hair cut. Trimmed off the reveg leaves to let light in. There are so many nodes that could branch out, I wish I would have lst'd it from the beginning.
Branches grew about an inch last week on top.
A month later. I left her in the flowering tent while I used my veg tent for drying. She switched to flower within 5 days and now she's revegging again. Dense at, such short internodes. Look how the branches stack up in the 2nd pic
Back in veg, got some 3 fingered leaves and some stretching. If I get bored one day this week I'm gonna strip all the small wasteful leaves. There's a lot of nodes and branches that could use some light and air.
D80: stretching and growing a lot. She's finally adapted fully back to veg after being flipped around for ages. Her roots are peeking out the bottom of the 2.5 gallon she's in now. I've been tying down the long branches to keepnthe middle open.
The plan is to eventually transplant into one of the 10 gallons and flower her with the rest. I think it'll be insane with the amount of branching.
I'll take a few clones when the branches get a little longer, I want to gift a few clones to friends to grow outside this year as this is very fast flowering strain and we do not have a very long flowering season; summer to winter in the northern Canadian prairies is broken up with about three weeks of fall. I feel if these start flowering in August there can definitely be a good yield by Oct. 1. My concern is cold tolerance as it never really withered or changed colours and ime plants that don't adapt to fall temps won't really succeed here.
D83. Hacked her the fuck apart. Bound her own bonsai style with twisting wire around the branches. She has so many branches and her trunk was a mess. I spent three full hours cleaning her up and ended up just taking chunks off the inside and bottom. Lots of long skinny branches with lots of nodes and potential. Ready to take clones now basically if I wanted.
D84: recovering nicely from the abuse last week. Perky and bright green. I could take a dozen clones off this plant and i don't think I'd even notice. There's so many branches.
D87: leaves are expanding and filling in. Pretty quick actually as I thought it'd be a little stunted for a few days from all the damage. She stood up and filled in the gaps without breaking stride.
D92 growing nicely now. Decent stretching and the leaves are filling all the spaces.
D95: transplanted into the final pot. Lots of stretching and the nodes that didn't get stripped when I cleaned things up are starting to grow out now too.
D98 : growing nicely. Stretching a bit now that she's had about a week in the 10 gallon. I've had my first request of clones from a friend so I'm going make four little cuts off this one for him.
D100: very bushy and dense again, check out all the leaves and sticks. trained it out again. So so many branches. I'm not sure how it'll flower with so many branches being so close together. Took four clones for a friend as well.
D105: still going crazy. Worried about how close everything is going to be during Flowering considering how dense the branches are coming in.
D109: little bit of training. Movrd the twist ties further up the branches, keeping it wide open. Pulled some lower single bladed leaves and sucker branches. Real monster this is.
D112: it's an ugly fuckin mess still. So many branches that are gonna be all mashed together in flowering. It'll be like a carpet of bud. Gonna take a few clones tonight for another friend.
D115: trained to final shape. Ready to flower in a week and a half. Pulled a LOT of leaves and branches today. Sucker branches and ones from the inside that looked like there were still flowering lol.
It's gonna be an absolute mat of buds, and to be honest I think it's been stunted from all the flipping that occurred and I think my haze is going to be bigger.
D120: man this has gone on far too long. This plant is a legit monster, look at the number of growth points compared to my normal, 60 day plants; and there's still more under the top canopy.
The saving grace is this plant never really stretched in flower that much so I'm more worried about the haze in the corner taking up more space than this one. But with all the nodes I'm worried it'll be an absolute mat of bud and they're will be airflow issues or no room for the buds to swell and get big.
D128: last hard training. Trimmed off some last inside chunks. I choose a level I thought was good, and picked off all off the small sucker branches under that point. Lots of leaves as well. I feel a lot better about flowering it now, I think it will have a nice mat of buds without being too suffocated. I pull the plants out to train them and after input them back in and take pictures I can't check them again til the next day because they look so sad all bent up.
Added a picture from a few training sessions ago and it was exactly four weeks today.
Tbt when it was a ball of vegetation, and and now in it's sculpted form.
Flowering on day 129.
D133: time to switch to flower. Ugly plant was never supposed to be flowered. Should've been hacked into a million clones but situations changed. The haze I'm growing is the same size, not as many branches though.
This plant usually flowers really fast so by the end of the week we should have some little buds
D135: flowering day 6, it's had five full days of 12/12 and look at the little bud and hairs already. The mom of this was done in 50 days, harvested day 58. Very very fast flowering cutting.
D140: like last time it seems to be putting up bud pretty fast, already has some impressive amount of hairs for the first week. With all the what sites it looks like it's going to be pretty dense and ugly
F17: yea, this plant is starting to put out hairs and buds and underneath is a mess of bud sites. I feel like there's gonna be a very shit trim at the end of all this.
F18: Flowering fast as expected. Lots of hairs, little round baby buds. Probably about a third of the way done. Underneath the canopy is a total mess of revegged branches still, all producing bud. It's gonna be an ugly trim; thinking I'll trim the top buds and just throw the rest into butter, because I remember giving up on the mother plant and leaving the last oz or two untrimmed.
I find it neat that the lighter green stands out in the tent compared to the other very dark ones.
F24: explosion this week. Colas are starting to fill up. A little bit of frost starting too. Plant is starting to consume the lowest leaves as their going yellow. I've been feeding quite well with my fermented fish and GO bloom every second watering. It's been hot during the days but cold at nights where I live and I keep the window open so the room is quite chilly at night.
F25: buds stacking nice. Almost half way, considering this plant can be chopped around day 55. It started to put on some good size and the lower leaves are starting to get consumed and die off. All normal.
Under each the canopy is just a mass of bud and leaves though; I think this plant may be for edibles if it turns out to be a bitch to trim.
F32: buds are filling up nicely, plant is yellowing a bit which is to be expected because it's almost the end of its life. To be honest I think I lost count of the days last week or two weeks ago so I can only assume that this is actually flowering day 32. If that's true in this plant has about 25 days left
F39: if everything keeps going at this pace it should be done in about 15-20 days. Shes not expanding as much now, the leaves are fading, getting stickier and smellier.
F46: pretty close. Plant is fading, buds are getting the slight blueish hue from the resin. Probably 2 weeks exactly left, I'll harvest day 61 as it's a Friday. Has a fairly common sweet, candy like smell.
f48: Took some pictures with my Nikon to check out the trichomes. Looking about 25% clear, 70% cloudy, 5% amber. Right on target for another 10 days or so.
F53: a sad little hole in tent where one of the ladies was :( but don't be sad because it's harvest time! Pineapple chunk is hanging in the closet and when it's done in about a week this one will go in!
This one grew just as expected like the other times I had grown it. Kinda wish I had kept one more clone to put outdoors, it's so reliably done in 60 days it probably would have been okay outdoors.
I'll take some more nice photos with the Nikon this weekend so check in in Saturday for more high res pics.
Good plant, done in 60 days this time. Wish I saved a clone. Drying at 60%rh and 65°.
It was supposed to be a mother plant that was producing clones but ended up putting into flower anyway. It had a rough life and end up going to flower twice during veg which caused multiple rounds of monster cropping on top of each other and required lots of trimming and training.
