It's time for another update, folks! 
Everything seems to be humming along quite nicely. BhxUH will get the chop tomorrow and she's ready for it - that timing worked out well - CarnivalB takes her place in the bloom room. And CarnivalA hasn't skipped a beat - the best plant I've had in a year - sticky and dense with swelling calyxes - gorgeous! She should be ready next week, with Tikal1 after that. I'm getting very little fade from this bunch of plants and I think it may be because I've been more conscientious about keeping the pots moist. In the past I'd wait for one of them to wilt and then soak them all, but now I'm giving them all a quart or two between waterings and the pots remain moist enough to easily absorb the feed water when they get soaked. I bet that keeps the soil bots happier. The whiteflies are starting to thrive again though - gotta get that SNS 209 ordered.
So here's the last of the Haze cross. I'm impressed that it finished in 10 weeks. I really thought it'd be a 12-weeker. And even though it's definitely a haze, it was pretty manageable, and it grew some hefty cola tops, too. I'll know in a week if the produce is remarkable.

I'm not sure what I'm expecting from Tikal1. To be honest, I really didn't love the first one that much, at least in comparison to this Carn x UH. But this one is much, much more fragrant and is healthier overall, so it might surprise me. One of the things I like about this strain are all the solid buds in the lower growth.

And then there's CarnivalA. Oh my goodness! She just keeps rockin' it! During the past week, I've peeked in there every day, and each time I ended up looking very very closely for mold because the trich coverage keeps looking like PM.
Sheesh! I'm giving her another week ... at least.

Channel+ has also been a standout plant to grow. She never had a single issue, rooted well, stretched well, stayed green, and has been sprouting trichs all over the damned place. And she has the strongest mint aroma I've experienced yet. I have her going for another three weeks, but she may finish earlier at this pace.

DrGrinspoon keeps chugging along. She sits in the back corner of the bloom room, so I don't see much of her during the week. When I pull her out, she's always just fine, with only a few old fans that need to be removed. Buds and trich production has been slow but steady, with 4 weeks to go. All in all, I'm quite happy with it. I hope the genetics come through in the smoke.

I haven't been all that impressed with Y Griega - not sure why - but she's been getting my attention lately. This has turned into a very promising plant. Five weeks to go.

After Tikal1, this Tikal2 will probably be a letdown - she's much smaller. But it'll be my third, so that'll be just fine. I'll get some solid colas out of this one.

Rio1 (Carn x UH) has been in bloom for a week and won't show pistils for another few days.

And CarnivalB went into the room today.

That's the blooming girls - veg update coming next.

I took picks of a selection of seeds and chose one with a well-defined crater - fourth from the left.
Those Tikals you keep growing make my blood thrum and I can't figure out why, since you have other, more stunning specimens to droll over. But they stop me in my tracks every time. Everything's so freakin' gorgeous Graytail.
