Couple of battle scars there, but the buds look great!
A refreshing beverage does seem to be in order!

NL and MC are looking good and even the Stardawg looks like the rust has stopped spreading, so I think you should be good to go cruising into harvest with those pretty flowers!

Thanks carcass, she deserves it, that’s for sure!
They did stop getting worse, so VG really saved the day. They are still yellowing at their lower leaves, like they are hungry, cream mandarin and NL mostly. Not really sure if I should make a stronger feed dose or what?NL and MC are looking good and even the Stardawg looks like the rust has stopped spreading, so I think you should be good to go cruising into harvest with those pretty flowers!
If they're hungry then I'd say feed them! Might be able to turn the light back up too.

Hello again grow buddies! Well this perseverance tent just keeps persevering. The last few days have been pretty intense with heat wave in our area, and then our ac went out!! It was a real stress-fest and luckily we were able to get the ac fixed after a couple of days. Plus it’s cooled back down again, so I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. 
Here’s a look at the persevering ladies now
Poor ol beat up Stardawg
Thriving Northern lights
and mildly beat up Mandarin cream xl
Kind of a mama bear, papa bear, baby bear situation. Lol.
I did a day count for these ladies, but now I can’t find my paper! So I’ll update with their ages as soon as I find it.
Mandarin cream breeders say she should be ready at 9 weeks from germination, which I do remember she has passed that date, but with quite a few fresh white pistils, I say she still has a week or two before she reaches the harvest window.
I hope you’re all doing well and your gardens are green. Thanks for sticking around and persevering with me!

Your tent is looking great... well 2/3 of it anyway. 
Poor poor Stardawg. It'll might be your best smoke of the three.

Sometimes you just can't please everyone!
NL and MC look good, and Stardawg looks like it will be an easy trim. Nicely done.

Lmao! I love your optimism Beez.Your tent is looking great... well 2/3 of it anyway.
It’s true, it’s funny she got fried so hard while the other two handled it better. Oh well, I’ll take an easy trimming job any time, especially since it looks like I’ve gone and stacked up my harvests on myself again.Sometimes you just can't please everyone!

We’ll see how it shakes out!- Thread starter

Update:
Stardawg and Mandarin cream xl are 9 weeks and 4 days old. Northern lights is 8 weeks and 4 days.
Breeders harvesting guidelines:
Mandarin cream xl - 9 weeks from germination
Northern lights - 55-60 days of flowering (aka 9-10 weeks)
Stardawg - 9-10 weeks blooming
Day count for first pistils showing.
Stardawg - 5/19 - - -> 6 weeks and 1 day
Mandarin cream cl - 5/23 - - -> 5 weeks and 4 days
Northern lights - 6/2 - - -> 4 weeks and 1 day
Well shoot, I guess they still have a ways to go. And now after all that mathing, I’m ready for a nap. Zzzzzz

No nap after all, I guess I’ll save it for tomorrow.
I switched them over to the general organics. I do measure it out with just a little extra, they seem to need a bit more than just the standard dose was giving them.Thanks! I’m looking forward to it. I hadn’t heard of it before and I won these beans in a fastbuds/vault giveaway. Luckily they sent me 5, I want to run it again and see how it does when it’s not fried extra crispy!

Hi again grow buds! Things are plugging right along here. I did a small rearrange of the ladies and it’s working much better for northern lights, she was getting some damage on her pistils from rubbing on the tent door. Now she should have lots o room.
Northern lights
poor ol Stardawg
and Mandarin cream xl
I feel like Patrick Swayze is going to show up and tell me nobody puts Baby in the corner.
I took some trich pics, but she’s still got some time. I’m hoping in a week or two? We shall see! It seems like her drinking is slowing down. I might need to take a little tester soon, once the pistils aren’t so freshly white.
That’s the excitement here - we’re getting closer to some harvest time! I need to figure out what harvest methods I want to use. I got a fresh supply of quart sized jars. Low and slow might be the way to go, but weed supply is low too. Maybe some half and halfsies?
I hope all is well with you and thanks for sticking by me through this little journey! Stay safe my lovelies!

I have trouble linking sometimes, but I’ll try to drop it here
It doesn't look like the damage is spreading one either the SD or the MC, so I think you got ahead of it. Well done and nice spears!
Baby looks fine in the corner.

Hello again grow buds! Oh man, I am chomping at the bit to get this harvest show started!! Mandarin cream xl will most likely be the first to finish, currently at 11 weeks. She seems like she’s slowed her drinking and I we’ve got some pretty purple fade starting to show on her leaves.
Here’s some trich pics
I see a good amount of cloudy, but also more clears than I would normally want for harvest time. She’s still putting out a little bit of new pistils, but that has slowed down from last week too. I took a tester bud, but I don’t know what I was thinkng, it’s a lower bud from the biggest cola; about as low on the plant as it gets.
Too late now! I’ll give this bud a few days to dry out and than give it a whirl!! I haven’t tried this before, so I’m very curious. Listed as mostly indica, it’s a cross of Cream Mandarine Auto X Super Tai ‘98 elite clone. I haven’t had her out of the tent to smell her by herself, but the breeder says she smells of citrus, fruity, spicy / herbal, sweet. I’m so ready for new buds to smoke! Lol, patience is not my strong suit, but having little testers helps curb my snip-hand jitters. I’ve seen other growers harvest on this earlier side, so I may as well give it a test!
That’s all for today buds. Thanks for peeking in and I hope you’re all doing well.

Frosty little nug! I'd say you should wait for the clears to get cloudy since there isn't much amber yet. Love the pics too!
Beautiful pics HH. Did you steal Amy's camera?
