It looks great thus far. On another note, thats a pretty thick canopy, do you personally defoliate at all during flowering? I’m just curious what the little buds inside the canopy look like. I had some pretty obnoxious fan leaves from the communion that I had to trim occasionally which looks alittle like yours. Communion is a Romulan offspring so it makes me wonder. I’ll be popping ten of mine the tuesday after next. So I’ll try and liven this thread up at some point haha. Thanks for updating.

Cool, I'll be watching!

Only once in the second week of flowering. But yeah, after that I left them to themselves. Also I want to see their different phenoes.

Right on. That’s one of the reasons I’m looking forward to open pollinating all ten. They will only be three gallon pots most likely but I should get a ton of seeds for varying projects, including some future pheno hunting.

I picked up these seeds for a steep price after drooling over the pictures they have and reading some of Jakes stuff on the forums. I’m actually growing two of his communion right now, and they are putting off an interesting putrid smell at the moment which is a pretty decent sign of quality.

Anyways, I’ve looked around for a while and can’t seem to find any specific grow reports on the BX1 and was curious if anyone’s grown it. If I’m going to pop then I’m going to have to run males for seed as well (due to the price of course) and want to make sure it’s worth the time right now. Thanks for the input.

Where'd these come from, I've been looking for some

Romulan Genetics, you can buy them straight from the breeder on his website. On another note, there is still limited info in my opinion, though I will say there have been some encouraging reports from exoticrobotic thus far, and we should get a smoke report from perdido soon. Personally I would just wait before spending the 150$ until there’s a few consistent reports. That’s just my two cents.

I tried to show the lower buds here.
The picture is bad, but it shines ...
Day 47

Where'd these come from

Only 15 packages left

Nice mate, looking wicked. This is a smidge off topic but check out this communion (week or so left) from the same breeder. It even has some Romulan in the lineage. Yield isn’t exceptional but it’s smells tasty, like grapes and sweet tarts.

 

[exoticrobotic]

Here is my favourite from the Romulan f2s.

It grew most like the mother with largest calyxes ( mother looked a lot like yours @Perdido ). Probably the smallest yielding out of the F2s but ready 1 or 2 weeks earlier than the others. It went pink towards the end.

Here's a small lower bud from her. Nice slightly sour lemon taste.

Instant mood elevation and grin. Nice and up.

Have smoked a lot of her, luckily found 1 seed in a bud.

A Romulan BX1 F2 S1

communion

Now, thats a nice plant.
Cool to introduce her here.
I am curious for a smoke report too, the advertisement of this Romulan descendant is promising (as always): "Deep relaxation without sleepiness or lethargy. A calm and comforting dulling of your senses, coupled with a sensational euphoria that feels a bit like visiting Nirvana."

beautiful bud structure.
And it went pink, really?
Have you kept cuttings?

I’ll keep ya updated brother. If I like it enough I might explore Bx-ing the line since I’m open pollinating a bunch of Romulan next round anyways.

I might try a reveg on this mother but if not I’ll save some rom male pollen then seek out the best male from the F1s to cross back to original Communion stock. I think you could get close and create a regular seed version that people would like.

 

[exoticrobotic]

yes.

yes.

The leaves and tips of calyxes did, buds are dry and light green

Have you kept cuttings?

Nah. But i have 5 Romulan Bx1 seeds left and a few hundred of the f2 beans.

Back from my vacation and plopped 12 BX1 into some water. The slow march begins

 

[Perdido]

Fisnished or not?
Romulan Genetics says 10 weeks flowering time.
I am at 58 days.
Isn't this one fully ripe?
Whats your opinion?

Only one lady out of three is a bit later, but she suffered from broad mite at the time of the switch

Do you have something to look at the trichomes? They look great but I’m having the same thing with my communion gal from the same company. Everything looks ripe and ready and ten weeks but I’m still cloudy. I spent like 20 bucks on a little wifi camera that’s helped me look at them. Otherwise they look dank brotha

It looks ripeish , but you're at just over 8 weeks flower at day 58 and the description says 10 weeks.

I had one that looked ready at 8 weeks ( the pic above ) but the rest of the f2s all took 10 weeks.

I left the one that looked ready in 8 weeks for 2 extra weeks so i could chop them all at the same time and it did swell a bit from there.

i'd wait another 2 weeks

Nice flowers

 

[Perdido]

That came just in time!
I am on my way from work to my Groom and was about to MAYBE cut it down.
The breeders had this plants for years and they seem serious, so ten weeks they should take.
It's my first indoor grow since the nineties and I don't remember myself being so indecisive.
But it's fun anyhow.

 

[Abdthi1966]

I know that feeling man I’ve been itching to cut this communion girl town man but I don’t want to miss out

 

[Abdthi1966]

@Perdido hey man how are the girls?

Quick update on the Romulan germination. Only got 8 out of 12 seeds. Two mutants didn’t survive the initial crack and the others didn’t come up. Had a great set up as well, so that’s alittle disappointing. But who knows how old the stock is or how well it was kept. I’m hoping for 4 and 4 and get a nice variety for the open pollination run.

@Perdido hey man how are the girls?

Almost there - Day 66
