yeah, I got some deathbubble and blue bubble from a good friend who made the crosses himself. Gonna start them tomorrow night. Should be some really nice smoke. Will be nice not having to worry about any hermies :)

It makes a massive difference running a room of tried and tested clones.
Not having to religiously check every bud site every few days is a massive weight off your mind and allows you to focus your energies on other aspects of the grow, especially if, like I said to you recently, you want to grow them out wide and flat. When you've just had a bad experience or a scare with a rogue plant it puts in perspective the value of trusted clones.

for sure man. cant wait to not have to look over the whole damn plant every other day.
At least I haven't found any more since the first incursion, so that's promising. :)

Getting some really nice colas. This ones as big as my forearm and gettin bigger everyday!

I know their kinda pointless now, but the 4 clones I took are doing really good. The one took awhile to catch up, think it's because I put it into to big of a container at first. Starting to do much better now though.

I would just throw them into the flower tent, but I've got it packed now. Really not sure what to do. Got in a little over my head here. Started 3 random seeds awhile back. Now their getting too big to be in my tiny veg space, and I dont wanna throw em out cause they're all showing female preflowers. Threw two into the flower tent a week or so ago, and one more tonight. Two of em just look so damn Indica I really wanna see how they turn out. At least for a few weeks to see if they look promising.
Can't fit anything else i unless I put in on the ground, but then it'd be nothing but herms. I'll figure something out. Not sure what, but I love thinkin about this stuff. :)

Those colas look fantastic!

Its really easy to find yourself with too many. Say you have 4 different plants - 2 cuts each in case 1 fizzles - now you've got 8 when they all make it. Add seedlings and you can have 3x too many plants in no time.

My advice - get used to tossing extras if you cant find anyone to take them. Or grow more smaller plants.

Thanks man, I had no idea they'd get this big. The Banner from the warehouse cams at the dispensary looks nothing like this!
Think I'll ask my buddy if he wants the banner clones and maybe keep the tiny one. Dont know why I didnt just toss em. Guess it's something I gotta get used to. It's like the old time depression era type smoker in me that doesn't want to throw anything away. Those memories of smoking resin back in the day make it hard for me to toss much out. Just gotta realize its for the better.
They're just costing me nutes and time at this point, so best to just rationalize it and toss em if my buddy doesnt want em.

Exactly. Sucks to realize the 2 foot tall plant you've been taking care of is destined for the garbage just because you don't want/need/have room for it.

I tried to hold on to all of them too at first. Ive trashed 8-12 plants in the last 2-3 months - some big enough to flower.

Been reading around and remember from my past something about putting the plant into more darkness towards the end. Not sure if it was just like 24 hours in the dark before harvest, or if it involved taking the light down to 10, or maybe even 8 hours a day for the last week or so. Any thoughts?

Ordered a 40x microscope thing last night. Probably should've gotten a loop, but this seemed like it might be a little better. only like $10, so not too concerned. Should have it in by Saturday. Lookin pretty good right now, but many are still clear, and I cant really distinguish any amber one in these photos. I know shes still got 2 - 3 weeks, im just gettin excited now. can't stop thinkin about harvest time now :)

I find it depends on the application. I hate trying to focus my 40x scope on a standing plant. Its great for a clipped off bit sitting on a steady surface though - far superior to my loupe.

She's just starting to amaze me man. I know I gotta wait, I wont chop her a day too soon. I just wanna make sure I get everything right and feed her right until the flush. Not sure if she takes an extra week what to feed her. Right now I'm doing 4mL FN Bloom, 2.5mL Koolbloom, and 1ml Floralicious. In my schedule thing it says that next week (based on a 9 week flower schedule) I should take it down to 2.5mL FN Bloom and 1mL Floralicious, no more koolbloom(which is my bulker i think).
Not sure if she takes an extra week if I should continue to give her what I am right now, or after next week stick to the 2.5 and the 1.
I'll attach a snapshot showing what I'm trying to explain but realllllly stoned right now.
I know it say repeat weeks 6 or 7, but I'm at week 10 right now on the chart.
I'm probably over thinking this, but idk..

Man, I love this girl. Getting nice and chunky. No more herms. Smells amazing. Can definitely see the OG Kush in her. camera sucks, wish I could take some better shots, so frosty in the middle.

Nice, my buddy was able to pick up those clones I went a little overboard with. Now I just have the little tiny girl that went into hibernation or something when the others took off.

Now I can keep that Banner just in case without taking up my entire tiny veg space. Got my Blue Bubble and Death Bubble seeds germinated and put into some coco last night. Gonna have plenty of room for them. Gonna be so nice dealing with solid, known genetics. No more hermie crap for me :)

Bought a loop today as well, just in case. works really well. Can see a lot of clear and cloudy trichomes, but no amber ones yet. Fell confident I'll be able to harvest at the right time now.

attachment.php


Put the loop in front of my phone camera and got a semi decent picture out of it. Think if I play around with it I can get it a little better quality wise.

Just noticed one fan leaves edges are starting to turn yellow, Im guessing this is a sign she's getting closer? Dont think its nutrient burn, waterint at about 560 ppm or 1.2 EC now, dropped a bit from what I was doing before. Kinda hard to see, but theres like a yellow outline to the leaf
