Another fun run

[mclovin478910]

Well it was a gamble trying to grow the Formula 1 as it was a bag seed and possibly hermed when we took it so long no fault of the genetics but this will probably be culled tonight and will be starting the photo period testers for S_A_H instead of waiting another week or so.

 

[mclovin478910]

Well a stoned thought for this morning. I'm fairly certain last night will be their last feed and I'm starting down the home stretch. Plain water from here on out. After looking at my calendar this morning I saw a full moon occurs on Thursday 23rd my stoned idea is to induce a 56hour dark period leading up to the full moon. I've read its supposed to help swell the buds just a touch more . Any one ever tried something similar?

 

[mclovin478910]

Hey all back for another update with some pics, like I said they got their last feed the other day and will be flushed until the 28th and then chop chop chop. Let me know what you think folks!

Day 63


Hey all back for another update after checking the trichs on the both of my mature ladies they look about 30% amber I know its going to be a super heavy smoke but just want to give them some more time ill check what day today is in a moment.


The other tdxrd is plumping up and fast going to be a heavy set lady by the end. as for the "fookies" its stout and growing nicely will sex it with the S_A_H testers.


Let me know what cha think.


PS purchased a dimmable switchable 600w setup from a friend, turned it down to 75% so Im guess running 450w now. I don't feel their is a need for more than that with the size and amount, considering turning it down to 50% once I harvest.

 

[mclovin478910]

Gave another feed to the 2 that needed it and enough water for 10% runoff for the other 2 also turned up the hps to 600 for the last week maybe see a big swell for the finish. Cant decide if im going to stagger chop and let the unders develop or just use it for hash? im getting antsy watching them mature I know I could cut now and they would still be a super stone with the amount of ambers but I feel like Im in need of a more lethargic smoke for after work

 

[mclovin478910]

Hey all back for the final update before chop time this Saturday. The 2 finishing got their last drops of water today and boy are they swelling up, after the 600w went in they seem to have just packed on some serious mass.


Both of them seem to be Dragon leaning phenos of each cross. The TD cross is much heavier than the skunk cross, TD has a intense lemon peel scent with some amazing body to it, and the Skunk has a muted lemon zest scent. So they are similar but cant wait to have a proper smoke after a few weeks cure.


Both have completely swallowed up any signs of their seeds so will have to see how many I actually get as I smoke the buds. but im confident in getting about 20-50 each.


My buddies fookies is coming along nicely with some amazing side branching showing new sets just about everyday, to combat the extremely tight nodes with it ive placed it on the ground (36in from the lamp) hoping it will promote some stretching, haven't done any lst, fim, supercrop or anything I would like it to be much bigger before I start toying with it.


Last but certainly not least we have my friends TDxRD and my oh my has it been swelling quickly recently looks like it will outperform in yield both of my phenos if it keeps up like this, not to much of a scent but a bulky bitch for sure.


Ill be taking the fans off my 2 mature ladies tonight in prep for their last days will post some after pics this evening.


Thanks for tuning in guys its been quite the ride and cant thank Yoda enough for these fine genetics to toy with!


Let me know what cha think

:clap: max : slap: great job Mclovin... They most certainly look like thier RD side for sure. I have found some more of the f1 ss x rd that I thought I had lost so plan on running some soon to see if I get any of the same tight node spacing plants. I personally would cull any plant that had such tight node spacing, it's a mold magnet when the buds are that tight.... Your not that far in I'd re start... Though who knows look what your pulled off with these stout little ladies.... Great grow!

 

[mclovin478910]

Thanks Yoda looks like I'll have a nice haul of seeds from both of them. Took a closer inspection underneath with good signs.

Thinking I'll get around an oz each and ill be happy with that with some S_A_H gear getting a great start. Smells like its going to be a tasty batch of meds and great seed stock for the future.

Will update in the A.M. with chop pics. I plan on triming anything that doesn't have trichomes and hanging it upside down in a box. Rh is fairly low now, around 20% but around 55°f so should take a good while to dry. Thats in hopes of preserving flavors and no jostling of the buds in a bag knocking off precious trich heads.

Think I should try and up the Rh of the dry box?

 

[mclovin478910]

Well its day 70 in within the hour the trimming will commense and they will both be hung to dry until they're ready for jars.

Hoping even with my low rh it will still take around week+ to dry because of the low temps.

 

[mclovin478910]

Chop chop chop

Hey folks heres my TD she came down a bit ago gave her a full trim and hung it all up to dry, the nug I cut 2 days ago was 12.5g wet and with the additional 85g and some still left on the plant I think ill be close to my oz goal.


The lemon peel scent is great going to be an absolute treat to smoke in a few weeks after a short cure.


The Skunk will be coming down a little later, figured id let the smell dissipate a bit between trimmings with close quarters with neighbors.


Let me know what your think!
