cj x sssdh test grow

[randalika]

hello hello,

it's about time to start this grow report!
finally got my hands on those beans couple of weeks ago. sucks if you dont have a proper safe adress.
sorry again for the delay ojd.

soaked them straight away for 24hours.
5 out of 6 germed after couple of days. strange that one didnt make it.
germed a lot more beans as iam doing a few more selections. only 1x otm didnt make it too.

those beans will be grown in biobizz all-mix with biobizz nutes under 400watt.
later on i'll add some guano and/or tea. straight organic this time!
now they're just getting tap-water + h&g roots excelurator.

couple more days under the fluorescent tubes and then they move one chamber up to 150w philips cdo-tt mh.

thanks to ojd&true for giving me the opportunity to test those beans!
peace

update!
i finally had some time to clean up the big homebox
so the ladies can enjoy lot more space under beautiful blue 250w mh light.

so far i can make out 2 or 3 phenotypes. most of them have cj-dom leaves.
one plant got kinda indica-dom leaves, chunky and bit smaller.

til the next update
peace

oh man, sorry guys and especially ojd. it's been too long since the last update.
i've been heavily overworked in the last weeks. actually they should be already in flower by now. damn.
i'll be taking backup-cuttings this weekend, repot them to 6.5L and flip to 12/12 by end of hopefully next week.
they also get 400watt mh instead of the 250watt mh to make sure that they'll root the pots faster.

ok but now some pictures. i made shots of every single plant.

nr1

nr2

nr3

nr4

nr5

my favorite is so far nr4.
good internodal distances and a light but nice chemmy smell when rubbing the stem.

Healthy looking plants! Nice start!

Looking good randalika. Do you plan on topping, taking your clones from the top or LSTing? I'm sure you know but if you don't promote branching you'll end up with super tall plants.

 

[randalika]

@smokingdogcujo: thx for those kind words.

@gspfan: yeah as u said. i'll take the tops as clones and then do some LSTing.
the thing is that it actually should've been done couple weeks ago. just too busy atm.
so far i repot them all to 6.5L. tomorrow morning: cuttings + LST

hey bro
nice updates

looking good

these are stretchy girls so keep that in mind, maybe take them the 2nd node down and earlier than later so you can start training early

ok. it's been a while. don't even know how to apologize for that. iam really sorry.
i still did some updates every now and then as one can see in my other thread.
it just wasnt possible at all anymore at one point to get those plants out for single shots. a crazy jungle, it was.

at least i have some pictures from the harvest for you, ojd.
took them down at day67. 1-2 phenos could have flowered a bit longer as the trichomes were close to being cloudy
but i didnt want to leave the light on just for couple of plants.

so here we go!

nr1 (unfortunately no full plant shot cause they were all blurred)

nr2

nr3

 

[randalika]

nr4

 

[randalika]

nr5

nr1, 2 and 3 are pretty similar in look and smell as u can see. heavy citrus/limey smell, like a cleaning agent.
during the harvest i had to get some fresh air in between cause the smell was burning my nose.

nr4 and 5 are probably leaning toward the cj. they both smell fantastic, although nr4 is a bit more complex and stronger.
and damn i love those autumn colours. they're like gift ribbon and the bud is the gift.

just saw that a few posts earlier nr4 was my favorite in vegetation.
i don't want to make a choice yet as i always wait until everything's dried and cured and properly smoked a few times
but i guess nr4 will be my keeper.
dont know yet if i'll keep one of the sssdh pheno as i already selected a sssdh myself early 2013
and got ojd's cut couple of months ago from a good friend. we'll see.

i'll be back in couple of weeks with a detailed smoke report and some final pics of the dried buds.
peace
