First Grow!

Hey VG,

Stress is a good thing in flower, look at what I did to mine. They will probably like it & you'll be rewarded in the end. I got those "Nanners" through stress, they contain female pollen to produce Fem seeds. They aren't true "Hermies". The popcorn is okay for some sampling or possible re-veg, but other than that it is worthless.

2 weeks before harvest, kick the pots, under water them, stick them with pins, reduce their light schedule, reduce temps if you can and really p*ss them off to get them to react.

I'm harvesting the one with the nannners today. She has been blacked out for 24 hours. The nanners are going to be dried and am going to try & pollinate one of the SKNLs that are in re-veg now.

She is beautiful, 80% milky & 20% amber.

:Namaste:

Hey there Ole Festus.

I feared Ruth would come up lame stomping those snakes around Dodge City.
Nice to see you can still visit the campfires.

Thanks for the good advice to VG. I'm counting on growers like you when I go into 12/12 for earnest.

Ruth & me are too smart to get bit, just have to pay attention to which camp fires you sit around & which cowboys that you associate with.

:Namaste:
 
I intend on stressing them out but not untill i'm closer to harvest,they are still recovering from their cal/mag issue just don't want to overdo it for now think i'm going to wait untill about 10 days before harvest and give them some accupuncture(think thats how u spell it) ha ha !! i plan on doing couple of branches a day if you get what i'm saying :cheesygrinsmiley:

Pollinating,not got the head for that now maybe on my next one or when the oppertunity arises :cheesygrinsmiley: lol
 
I most definitely will, haven't sampled the AK 48s at all. I have the one with really dense colas & 2 that came out completely fluffy for some reason. I got the nanners on the dense one & if I try and cross it, well, we'll just have to wait & see. The fluffy AK-48's come down in another week.

Oh, almost forgot. The SKNL has been dried & cured. Smoked Big Bud yesterday. Some good stuff, very smooth, mild smoke, 45 minute active high, 2 hour body buzz after that. In fact, gonna smoke one right now.

I got 220 grams total dried. Not to bad for growing midgets ranging from 18'' - 24'' high.

The Darkstar is chuggn along & I may have a new idea for her. Am thinking of the 3 to 4 month outdoor veg and then bring in. Was sort of thinking that if I brought her in and vegged her all winter long (5 more months) and then took her back outside in spring to finish up, that would be one hell of a mature lady! Wouldn't you think?

:Namaste:
 
Yeah,

Most likely different phenos of the strain. Have to find out which are better (Dense of Fluffy). Hoping the dense is better because that is where the nanners are. If I could only get so lucky and pollinate a SKNL with it, then I'd have my own strain. :cheesygrinsmiley:

:high-five:
 
Wow VG, they are looking great! I am sure you put in a lot of hard work, you will soon be rewarded for your patience. You have quite a few pages and im sure you have already answered this, hope you dont mind me asking but how long did you veg? From time they were above dirt till 12/12. Im trying to decide when im going to flip them, and i like the size of yours.
 
Hi VG,

How are the Ladies? Stevie getting some more color? Can't wait to see what your gals pull when they are finished.

I harvested all 3 today, just finished up. Did a quick trim and now they are hanging in the tent all strung upside down. Was going to just only harvest the one today that had been locked up in darkness for the last 24 hours, but we had torrential thunderstorms last night and the other 2 ladies were outside.

Oh boy, went outside and the Ladies branches could no longer support the weight of the colas. They were all leaning every which way but loose & I couldn't even tie them together.

I dispatched them all to meet their Maker, so the only thing I have left to do is dry, cure & smoke em up.

Well, I got 400 grams wet off of the 3, so I figure I'll get 175 grams dry. That's a little over 2 ounces dry a plant.

The one monster cola measured 13'' and the girth was 8''.

Total pull off the 9 midgets resulted in 1.8 ounces dry per plant.

Not bad, just got to figure out how I'm going to smoke it all. Nice problem to have, I guess.

:high-five:

Congrats Ole Festus.
Inhale long and prosper.RoorRip
 
Hey Ole,sounds like you done the righ thing if they couldn't support their own weight then i would have done the same :thumb:

I can't wait to have that problem myself altho i have a few things in mind which i haven't done for years so they will deffo be on the cards,quite fancy doing what we call a bucket :-) you get a 2L bottle cut the very bottom off,take some tin foil make a cone shape by pushing it in where the top is,submerge in water up to the neck of the bottle,fill up with weed as you pull up on the bottle light the cone,the bottle fills full of smoke,remove the tin foil suck and bobs your uncle !!

I'll be more than happy with 1.8oz dry weight per plant :-) :goodjob:
 
I always prefered foil,when holes are poked in the foil it burns better,when put in a socket it pulls through like a bong so IMO some is wasted, that's just the way i do it lol

Hey SL yeah i know what you mean buckets can taste lovely,we used to buy bags of ice to mix in with the water,makes it alot smoother,bit like ice in the bong ! lol used to love buckets,hot knives,pipes,chillum's,bongs you name it we loved it but its something i haven't done for years so when i harvest i'm gonna be baked for a good few days morning till night ! ha ha !!
