Boo’s Perpetual Grow Journal

[BooWho2]

Thanks so much VG. I hope you are feeling better. One day at a time. Right now it is pouring down rain, lightening and thundering. This is a test for her. I'm tired of jumping thru hoops every day for that plant. I may cull her tomorrow...

Kyle is a happy guy. So what I take from this is that genetics is important and phenotype characteristics are brought out by the environment the plant is grown in. I had five C99 seeds from this non-sponsored seed company. One didn't germinate, two in the tent are very similar and the one outside is a weirdo compared to the other. I bought the Pineapple Express autos from same seed company. Of the 5, one didn't germinate, one was a SPOG, one went to flower several weeks after, the other two, the other two were similar. So I guess my lesson here is that perhaps I should buy from a seed source that has a better reputation? How do I figure that out? Buy more seeds? Sorry if I'm a Dolt.

Happy Friday. Should I be worried about these?

 

[BooWho2]

Aaaaaand.. is this what I think it is?

 

[InTheShed]

I don't know what you think it is but I don't see anything untoward in those pics except the raindrops! The top pics are just the bracts that grow at the nodes, and I know that @Amy Gardner likes to collect them separately and smoke them as a set!

Not sure what you are focusing on in the bottom pics. Pistils?

 

[BooWho2]

Yes, pistils! Thanks for looking. Do you mind having a trichrome check? Should I be looking at the head or the stem also?

 

[InTheShed]

The head. I see a lot of clear in those pics.

Thank you. If you see any cloudy, what pic would you say it's in? Despite the fact that I've had one harvest, I don't know what to look for...and seeing it on my own plant would be helpful. Thank you...

Just to be clear - I meant the head of the trichrome. ,

[BooWho2]

Well shit! I didn't expect you to get so fancy! So it looks like a sonogram pic and the clear ones have a dark circles you can see in them and the cloudy don't! Cool. My preference is a cerebral high - no couch lock - so I think I want to get to cloudy with not a lot of amber...maybe another week? Thanks so much again!

 

[InTheShed]

The dark circles are the background showing through the clearness. With no background they look like glass as you can see in other pics you posted.

This might help you decide when it's ready.

Thank you - I already have that chart bookmarked!

Your ladies are looking good. Here’s a couple of thread on checking your trichomes that I’ve found to be helpful.

Monster Bruce Banner

Does anyone have any pictures of Monster Bruce Banner all grown up and ready for harvest? I’m growing one and would like to see what it will look like when done. This is mine

Unsure of time to harvest

Bit back story. 5weeks of veg 9 weeks into flower. I am learning as I go so I tried a few different techniques at the same time just for my own trial and error and to see how different strains grow. 2 are unknown seeds the tallest is Tange bag seed the other big pot is pineapple x supersilver x...

Thanks BigD! I have those charts bookmarked as well. I think I'm just having trouble seeing them well. I need to rig up a tripod or something so I can keep the camera still and also turn off the fans in the tent... Soon.

Some days I feel like I just can't win... The Cindy's in the tent look terrible and tired. The buds are fine but the rest of the plants is just exhausted looking. I decided to give the SNS 203 a go with the outdoor plants so I gave them all their first dose today. The really bad news is I discovered a rotted bud on my blooming outdoor Cindy and it had a caterpillar inside of it. DAMMIT! Not sure what to do about that, except shed a tear or two in her memory. Help?

 

[BigD13]

Ya need to get & spray your plants with some Monterey B.t. That’s what I use for caterpillars.

Great advice, BigD! Safer® also makes a BT concentrate-little tiny bottle,but it makes like 10 gallons of spray,and you can spray every day if you want to, right up to harvest.

it had a caterpillar inside of it. DAMMIT! Not sure what to do about that,

I had an outdoor Cheese last year that the caterpillars got to (Until I started spraying with BT)
I just dug the dead stuff (and the caterpillar ) out, and left the rest of the bud to finish- by harvest time,
those buds were just as big and healthy as the untouched ones.
After digging the dead stuff out, I also gave the affected buds a couple of blasts with straight (3%) peroxide to kill any uglies that might be lurking in there.
If you found one caterpillar, there's probably more- look all the buds over closely- if you see any brown or tan spots on them, you need to dig into that bud, or at least spread it open a little to check for the little buggers- if you find one, pull it out with tweezers, and shoot a little peroxide into that bud where the caterpillar was- it won't hurt the bud, but it'll stop any rot that may be starting in there.
