The James Gang

[H.A.F.]

Had the fam in town for the long weekend so it was a good time to let things settle down here.
Heisen testers are killing it. and I might get a quarter-bag out of the little top.

The LT x SD is propped up (shorty) and the WC x DD is on the floor instead of a plant caddy (taller). The other three are about the same size.
The shorty is also a week behing on flip so no stretch yet.

 

[H.A.F.]

I'm making room tonight to flip the giant dwarf Based on the strain I think the DS that took off is male, time to find out.
The shorter DS got some LST and is in no hurry.

I repotted everything else to get them to about the same starting height. Tall ones deep and such. Nothing showing so much as a hiccup.

 

[H.A.F.]

My next drop is depending on the Sacred Lotus.


Stoner trying to explain stuff so beware - I don't dig bro-science, but some of it is based on actual science.

I think for planning purposes the best old-stoner's tale I have picked up on is that when you see the first good sprinkling of brown pistils, (more than just one random one here and there) you have about 3 weeks until the plants are at least minimally harvestable (low percentage of amber trichomes, but they are there).

Letting them go the extra week or so after that fit's with the rotation of letting the next plants veg 4 weeks before flip. I have two flower rooms, so it works out to wait to drop until I see browns on the next crop to harvest.

Sooooooo if I have to flip the crop in the veg tent still in the veg tent - that won't mess up the rotation, but dropping the next set before I know I'll have room will.

 

[H.A.F.]

FWIW my next planned drop that I think will be postponed was in about week. Its looking like every 5-6 weeks for a drop is going to be a smoother rotation without crowding.

Looking great HAF!

The babies got watered

 

[H.A.F.]

No sex yet on the DS that is hiding with the Sacred Lotus.

Heisen testers

Middle row is top to bottom is lvtk S1, Cheap Thrills and Dank Sinatra. 6 on left are HC x RS, 5 on right are Left Behind
Topping is probably next watering, right at a month old.

 

[H.A.F.]

Stoner notes. I top fed the heisen testers for the first time when I topped them. several didn't like that and got the uglies for a few sets of leaves.

These babies haven't been fed yet except some liquid supplements - big bloom and whatnot, but no real food.

I think I'll feed them next then top later.

 

[H.A.F.]

Side window shot, so the Left Behind is at the bottom. I topped the two girls, and 4 of the HC x RS. Some were ready, some weren't, one needed water... the individual attention starts now. Tedious but worth it.

Nothing is showing signs of needing food desparately, so I'm reversing the topping and the feeding - still not doing them at the same time.
This is how bro-science begins

The Momma Moonshine - damn!
For context, I was getting ready to head out and run some errands. I burned one while getting ready to go...
I am doing a smoke report instead - I ain't going nowhere for a bit

This was the landrace Thai and Raspberry Moonshine cross from mysturis420 (some other forum) that @J.James sent me to try.
This was the plant with the red sap when I topped her.

There is a hint of sweet/berry - but it's mostly musty dankness. I dump it out and check for bad ju-ju every time I open the jar, but that's just how it smells. When it's ground up there's a harsh, almost body-odor funk to it. But in a good way

I may be off on THC% guestimations, but this is face-punch compared to other stuff I have. Has to be in the 25% range, or have some wierd combo of THC/CBD/CBG/whatever that just works.

The funk stops at the grind though. Very tasty smoke. Like a mildly flavored cigar - think Acid cigars from Drew Estates

 

[H.A.F.]

To start my "salad" experiments, I ground up even amounts of the MM, and the 'burnt orange' Hippie Crippler that had some of the same funkiness, but with a more smoky terp to it.

Mine topped very well. they didn't even slow down.

Question: So what are "real" nutes in your book? Big Bloom is a bit weak but it's definitely a fert.... Just wondering. We all see this shit differently.

lookin good.........

I use top feeds - 'real nutes' with actual numbers in all the NPK slots bigger than 1 or 2 I just think of the bottled stuff as additives.
I don't use any of the actual bottled nutes (the other two in their 3-pack) but I do use the other micro-this-that-and-the-other.

So when the H testers were ready for topping (still in the small pots) I top-dressed them at the same time. Might be any of a number of things besides the nutes, but I got what could have been either nute-burn or deficiency on the lower leaves on a few. They all grw out of it fine.

 

[H.A.F.]

Checked back in before running those errands. Seems like about an hour chill-time, then the get-r-dun kicks in. Good weed

I only dropped a few beans and got one girl - so I already have it on my short list of "regrow - bigger"

Glad to see you on here!

I said screw it and topped everything. The DS at the bottom is about ready to flip.

Sacred Lotus by @J.James - I have two pheno's ! (and no clue which the clone came from )
I also have the first plant I may cull mid-flower. I have been tempted to cull it several times, but didn't need the room. The front left and the ones on the right are thriving - The back left is not drinking a thing. Yellow leaves, and it's taking up space. I may actually yank it and see what the roots look like, then down-pot it. It's a tiny plant for the 5gal pot.
These pics were during watering, before I jammed the other plants back in. I flipped the other DS, so it's crowded.

This front one has an almost citrus smell, but none of them are stink-bombs yet. This one shows no brown pistils yet. This is the one holding up the next drop The back one is the cull-candidate.

These two have a more sour smell - still nothing face-slap - but they both have pistils turning all over. They'll chop by this time next month.

And the clone is the main reason I'm considering culling. This is a champ.

 

[H.A.F.]

There's only one that looks like it was too early to top - by a little - but I'm good with that.
None died and all drank their water like good plants. They got a light top-dressing and a soaking.

 

[H.A.F.]

the 4 H-testers with good pistils got their main flower feeding. Lots of goodies for the stretch.
