Looks like White Critical can go a bit further. I think there is a pronounced Sativa into her. Her tricome is not as dense as Granddaddy Black.
Any way, it rained heavily on Tuesday afternoon. I came home and the nice dense buds are soaked. Humidity after rain was nearly 100% and it runs through the night.
Chopped her a few days ahead of plan. Problem is that I have too many plants chopped because of this storm. And drying room is too crowded.
So I hung the harvest on a tree. Different tree from Granddaddy Black grow. This tree is call “water jasmine” and was in a shaded spot. A friend game this tree to me as a bonsai for my work. After I changed job, I brought this tiny thing home and it became a tree. It is in a shaded area of the house next to north facing wall. White Critical harvest can just hung here for a day without sun damage.
The vine along the ground is Piper sarmentosum. It is a South East Asian salad/spice. It has anti-bacterial activity. Means that mold has no competition. And the ground vine harbors mold. It is far enough from cannabis to be a concern.
White Critical is certainly a quick producer.
Look like the yield will be decent. Harvested branch felt heavy.
Let’s see how she cures. I’ll be benching her against other 7-weeks flowering plants. Specifically, Fast buds FF7 and Original Sensible Seeds Bruce Banner #3 Fast. Both strains smell nice and are heavy hitters. White Critical will have to be exceptionally good to be in the same game as those two strains.
It will be a few weeks before I make my final reports.
Cheers
@Med_in_Tropic, A wise man once told me :
"For every disadvantage there is an advantage."
Not sure what the advantage is in having acid rain and radioactive soil tho 😂
Ofcourse it's having the knowledge, being able to come with solutions and keep learning/ using the brain that's the true advantage 🤓
@Smartie, approaching dry season. Yeah!
Wet season was to find good clone mothers for this time of the year.
By the way, I put up mostly new strains (to me) in diaries. I can’t be bother to write about
A mate in South Africa has to contend with acid rain and radioactive soil. Somewhere in the world, someone has it worse.
clones that I have grown for the umpteenth times.
In a way, I am making growing look harder than it actually is.
There are weeds that grows largely unattended in Thailand. And they do just fine.
@Shooey, 33 C and 90% RH 😀😀😀😀
I grow in hot (fertilized) soil and soil was wet. Damping off bound to happen.
The survivors are usually strong enough to take on outside rain. Then I can propagate with clones until I find something else to play with.
A couple more weeks, I’ll be in my dry season. I’ll put a few clones into flower for my primary grow period.
And this grow should be just in time for my indica window.
@Smartie, I was fuzzing with my plants this morning. I found a healthy 9 weeks old plant with single blade leaves. So here it is. Top colas has some pistil but I am outing this one in flower soon. So, keeping pistil in this case.
These buds are gorgeous. I love your garden! Must be a nice view with all these strains, clones, veging and flowering together! wish I could be in the tropic
Thanks @sativaman, oh we have our season. This is the prime time. Tgis corner is m sanctuary from work an ld even family.
Tropic has string sun but short hours. Our winter is nice. But in a month or two it’ll be nearly 40 C. Then very wet.
Natural plants to grow would be your 9 months long Sativa. 😀😀😀😀😀.
There are always trade off. We just have to adapt to nature.
Sweet med. is back strap molasses similar to your sludge? It’s a bi product of sugar cane refining as well.
Plants are looking great mate, so close to the finish now! 🍻
@Shooey, I use both. Molasses is for magnesium, sulfur, iron and a bit of calcium during flowering. Plus the sweetness in molasses fed microbes in the soil.
The sludge has even more micro-nutrients and more N.
NPK ratio is like 1-1-1. One and one and one is three. Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see.
Seriously, sugar sludge is ass strong as cow manure.
Thanks mate @Shooey. This one was uneventful but got big. Wish all my grows are like this. Problem is I like Sativa and longer grow means more issues 😀😀😀
