Looks good man. I grew DNA Strawberry Banana for almost a year and a half.

Everyone has such beautiful plants. I'm really a fan of all the colorful entries. Purples, Pinks, Blues... lovely.
I don't have many pictures to enter however here's a one of an MOB plant from the summer.

sick, i just popped one because a wedding cake didnt germinate and they come in a 6 pack, like this one so much i decided to use the other 5 to pick a mum lol
any advice she seems to not like to heavy feeding in flower?

They are very sensitive to Nitrogen in flower, this was a real issue in hydro. Soil, not so much. Your right about nutrient sensitivity, again especially in hydro. If you use a PK booster I only gave a half dose and didn't use it for more than a couple weeks. I used Koolbloom liquid and Hula Bloom. It doesnt like Koolbloom dry at all. Fulvic acid (Fulpower is the best) can help the nutrients work a bit easier by making them more bioavailable to the plant. So more of the nutrients will get used. This should help curb the wish to use higher dosages Also, a monosilicic acid Silica is a good idea. Dont bother with any Potassium based Silica products

I was more successful with good LEDs (I was using Black Dogs and Spectrum King) than double ended HPS/MH or CMH. My biggest issue was the quality of the plants themselves. Heavy trichomes were hit and miss, as was the sweet smell. If you find a plant that puts out trichomes and has the smell we are all looking for, make it a mother, or clone it. The strain CAN put out great bud, but its so frustrating when some have absolutely nothing in common the target phenos. This seems like a DNA Genetics trait. I grew their Lemon Skunk the first 2 plants did 27oz but neither smelled of Skunk or Lemons. One smelled of berrys the other of fuel... I was pissed, but the plants grew big and strong, so I couldn't really bitch. Ive had much better luck with Barneys Farm. Ive grown their Acapulco Gold, Pineapple Chunk, Ayahuasca Purple. If you want to talk about this give me a ring, I have plenty of pictures. Cheers.

I knew id regret not taking a cutting from this one when I started to see her develop (i know the next sentence is contradictory)
I pretty much always have that regret though since I don't like feminized mothers. you never know when theyre going to go to shit and when they do it ruins that harvest really and i cant seem to live with that since i dont do it anymore.
i use a mix of CMH and LED, 1 LED bar between each HID. I've suited the setup to the space and due to height restrictions & I can't use co2, or, it would be reckless to do so. (below ground, fills up, you go down, you, ya know, die.)

even if they are in flower, you can take a branch and clone it.

this late thoug? after week 3 its not really advisable is it? and at week 3 she wasnt all that impressive i trhought. didnt see her potential then though

not sure in week three, but i've token a branch in 2nd week and it worked. high heat and humidity

I have cloned up to 5 weeks in flower. It's going to take a while to reveg when you wait longer, and they will grow funky for a while, but it's very doable.

If it works then you'll have a plant with the genetics you're after. If not you'll have an ugly stick with a mushy end! Haha. Just knock all the flowers off and give it a try.

Yeah, but your plants look great! Haha

 

[Curbcalamity]

thanks! yeah they're happy, i couldve made a bit better use of all my space but the lights went off for like 1 1/2 days whikle my housemate was looking after them for the weekend so they didnt quite get the time to fill it properly but yeah, im pretty happy with this harvest, got the space dialed in now with all the things i needso thats goood.

yeah i guess i could.... but who's to say it doesnt stress her to the point she inter sexes? plus i have 5 more seeds maybe one of them will be nicer still, i don't know the genetics, this could be a terrible expression of them

I feel comfortable in saying a clipping won't change the sex of your plant

 

[Hyperionloader]

you should be good to go clipping regardless of how far into flower. It will only take longer to root. Keep some z7 handy to prevent rot. Cheers
