Lighting Hello LED World, LED Convert here- Dark Devil & Think Different Grow

[FreeLivin]

What up Jayar, I did notice today that it seemed a lot of the trich heads were gone or busted or whatever, so maybe that has something to do with how it feels now, then I wonder what caused the heads to bust or degrade,IDK.. I am at a cross road, I recently read a thread that stated this could continue to get worse and chop now, then again if the heads just burst my instinct tells me I can drag it out a few more days, one more watering and increase my dark period a lil and hope they fill back up before I chop.. Hmm. crossroad..

What's good Waximus, I'd like to think that would be the case but two grows back to back two diff strains, but the catch is it's only the DDs it seems, not the TDs, least not yet. They are super sticky and lookin sexy as hell.

The Other Guy... Oh Bandit, right.. lol my bad I just smoked my first bowl of the day.. I am not sure if I read his specifically, however I am aware of the principles, I stated that observation a few posts back that I think that they didn't look ready, the leaves say they have quite a bit longer to go, like a week and a half maybe.
Decisions decisions.. To chop or not to chop, I'm sure everyone's been faced with that question at one time or another.. Maybe chop the main and see if there ends up being a difference from the rest after letting it go, probably the only way to know for myself, but I don't want that to be a waste, damn thing is huge, I'd prob cry..
Grr

Alright, thanks for the input gentlemen.

Hmm. Morning.. So I let the DD go a lil extra to see if anything improves, however I knew better than to think something would be corrected (if possible) in just a day and a half. I didn't notice any difference in the DDs as far as trich heads filling back up, so I'm gonna chop the top half of the one DD and leave the bottom to hopefully fully develop some seeds but just for a couple more days. The TDs still look like they're gonna go another week or so, hope I don't somehow let them go too long or something. I've been steady chopping nugs off one of them for awhile now so there's not much left to her, but ever since I sprayed the "1" branch the whole plant seemed to get stunted anyway, I'm only going to spray the cuttings from now on.
Ok so here are a couple pics, it's real hard to get a good pic of the DD since the branches are tied up "kinda" and flopping in all directions, but I wanted a full separate pic before I take the main cause she is looking pretty damn big, same with the TD right behind her, she is large and looking sexy as hell. Pics don't give these girls justice.. Ok, enjoy, any input is appreciated..

Free your girls are sexy!! Lol Nice job bro that DD cola is something serious..

 

[FreeLivin]

Forgot to add my photo pic.
I don't know if it's male or female but I'm about to top it and then I'll take a few cuttings in hopes it's female. She is sittin at about 24" today, and I think I'll veg her for another 3 weeks then put her into flowering,who knows.. Here's a pic..

Thank you sir, I'm super impressed with how big she got and hope the seeds coming from her will give me something decent as well, I've successfully got seeds from both strains on both plants, so hopefully some have had enough time to fully grow.. Been finding seeds everywhere I pollinated and then some since I blew the remainder (which didn't look like anything) out of the jars and I guess it made its way to a bud or two

Chopped the Top..

Doing the paper bag dry this time, I usually hang them in a large cardboard box, but I wanted to try this, I'm going to be doing both most likely anyway come chop time for the rest since there's so much this this time.
Here's a pic of the chop, don't know why the pic is so dark.

 

[JAYAR]

Nice!! Looks delicious!!

Thank you sir.. I hope she is when all said and done. I'm gonna dry her for prob four days and then jar them with some boveda packs for at least a week before I sample, this will be a first, usually I smoke as soon as it's dry. I wont be able to wait any longer than a week for sure, but some of it should make it a couple weeks. I don't know what the difference is with a long good cure, we usually smoke it to fast to find out, but I'm pretty sure I have enough this time to last a month, I hope. I've read only real differences are in taste and smell, but some claim potency goes up, that last I don't believe but I do know the high changes as the trichs degrade, so maybe they're confusing the two processes, IDK. It's taken me forever to put this paragraph together, just smoked my morning bowl, so needed to get my mind right..

Buds are looking good, FREE! That DD kicked out some sexxxy, monster sized buds!

 

[FreeLivin]

Yea, she's lookin like a beast now that I got her tied up, but we'll see, could me an illusion.

And.. Thanks for slidin back through Bandit, figured you got too high off that monster you grew and lost your way.. Speaking of did you post the final yield?


Update: My photo decided to show sex yesterday, it's officially a female, so happy. So now I think I'm going to chop her up into a bunch of clones and put em back in full veg, I guess I'll be sacrificing most of this plant but will end up with a bunch of em in the slightly longer run.
Sp apparently for the following auto grows I'm gonna have to run a 12/12 since most likely they'll be in there for the last month or so of the photo's cycle, oh well. Sacrifices.. The photo was some really good smoke, so I can't wait.
