Believe it or not this plant is 100% untouched by me since she sprouted. The lower colas literally just ordered themselves as you see, and spaced themselves too. I did nothing. Lol. Pretty sweet.

Coming at you in early August….

My first grow in the new space, in the right state finally. My most extensive grow ever.

Featuring:

- Brand new grow room, with almost unlimited space
- 2 new lights, a NextLight MEGA and a Fohse Pisces 9
- 7 tents, ie, (3) 5x5s, (1) 4x4, (2) 3x3, and (1) 2x4
- 2 sponsored 5x5s, one by NASC and one by dank seeds, featuring their genetics
- Lots of organic photos and Cyco nutes autos
- Soil and Coco mediums
- Killer strains, including some of my all time favorites such as Super Silver Haze, Watermelon Wedding Cake, MAC 1, etc.
- Significant sponsor involvement

I’m going for epic.

Here’s some of the tents and lights and such being staged as we speak for my impending (finally!) move.

Yeah, OK. Whatever.

Quit teasing us. We'll believe it when we see it.

That should be epic. Looking forward to it!

Good luck with the move.

Of course! You know, cuz you’ve seen for quite a while now that I never do what I say, right? Lol!

Lol, I hadn’t seen this before I posted the last response. Haha.

 

[InTheShed]

Looking forward to it if and when it happens, but like the old saying: fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again!

Heh. Now I really am done. Ain’t none of these colas going nowhere. Now I literally don’t have to touch the plant again.

Here’s she is following the “for when the colas get heavy” treatment.

 

[CaptainLucky]

Of course! You know, cuz you’ve seen for quite a while now that I never do what I say, right? Lol!

Epic? Epic doesn’t even begin to describe it but since I’m lost for words. It’s just gonna have to do. Really looking forward to this one broski. CL.

Trichs and the top of a colorful and foxtailed big bud. Not too far away now.

I’d like you guys to understand just how pissed off I am right now. I took the smallest branch on the plant and wet trimmed it this morning. It’s beautiful and incredibly dense. As I trimmed it, I’m thinking, how did it get THIS dense? This is impossibly dense. Suspiciously so.

I dug deeper.

The entire plant is hermied. Every single bud in every direction. It’s useless for weed to smoke. 100% useless. It’s gonna make a shit ton of kief, probably more than I’ve ever made, but I’m fairly certain I would not have spent 150 days, 100s of dollars, and and incredible amount of work and heartache and the ultimate PITA of changing the res every goddamn week … for a bunch of kief.

Disappointed is not the word. Pissed off is not the phrase. There are no words. Seething understates it a little less than some other words perhaps.

Here’s how beautiful it was. This is the smallest branch. Wet trimmed completely, just dry, trim off the buds, and jar. This plant would have been so much weed. Good weed.

Fuck. Bitten by the long auto hermie. It happens. Hasn’t happened to me in a long time, but it does happen when your autos go exceptionally long. And of course since the buds were so Godzilla foxtailed I never noticed or felt the slightest anything. The hermie seeds are the small barely see some type. Ie, the very worst you can get. Unavoidable, unremoveable.

That really sucks bro especially with such a beast! At least it's not a complete waste and her beauty is undeniable!

 

[Azimuth]

Sorry to hear that @Jon . Like you say, rare but it happens. Not a total waste but frustrating to be sure.

 

[Chuckeye]

Get out the record album and give it a test, it might surprise you

But yeah, not the sort of nostalgia I would consider a good thing

Cheers

 

[Carmen Ray]

Oh no! That's disappointing to say the least. I hear ya with the seething feeling.

 

[KeithLemon]

Sorry to hear this Jon those Apple Fritters are a tough plant.

They are right @KeithLemon ? They seemed to love growing outdoors as yours was last year. Tough one indoors. At least if you go for huge. I’m 0-2.

Well, that Apple Fritter was the last plant in the contest. So to tally: I lost the Trizkit. I lost the Apple Fritter. I lost the Bruce Banner (burned up). I lost the two small organics in 2.5 gallon pots. When I say lost, I mean they didn’t count in the yield. That left me with four plants for the contest, the two Gorilla Cookies, the Skywalker organic, and the Cherry Pie organic. And I beat him with four plants. Lol.

That loss was in the neighborhood of two pounds of bud. I’d have pulled 3+ had I kept them all. The BB and AF were the total loss plants. The others were fine just didn’t count.
