More goings-on in the grow this past week
"Wild Thailand" was done so I chopped her. My conclusion is that this isn't Wild Thailand - it has to be a mixup. And so far, I'm unimpressed with the smoke. The buds I've tested have been bland in every sense - very little flavor and aroma, and a solid bland stone. "wild thailand"? I think not. I'm rechristening it Bland Topeka unless something magical happens in the cure.
Behold, the recently chopped Bland Topeka!
"Wild Thailand" - 105 Days old - 60 days 12/12 - 47 since pistils - brix 12/12
Panama has been making nanners. She's really close to finishing, so for the time being, I'm pluckin' 'em off daily. I'd love to get some mature seeds, but i don't want to pollute the room, so she'll get chopped unless she gets a grip. Meanwhile, whew! This one really reacted to the Cat drench, which is probably why she's making nanners. She's growing big ugly fat calyxes and rapidly turning purple. The juice I squeezed for the brix reading was so purple that it was hard to see the line on the refractometer. Test buds have been very good.
Panama - 108 Days - 62 days 12/12 - 47 since pistils - brix 12/13
Tangerine Dream seems to be in the groove. It hasn't been doing anything dramatic at all, but there's been steady progress. It's a 12 week strain, so there's still 6 weeks to go. I kinda like the look of the slender spiky colas.
Tangerine Dream - 107 Days old - 49 days 12/12 - 33 since pistils - brix 11/11
Utopia Haze was a really awkward plant in veg, but I sorta wish I'd taken a cut of it. It's completely different from anything I've seen before, all thin and leafless, but it's growing some fine buddage. It's 3 weeks younger that the TD with better trich production, and even though the budsites are sparse, they seem to be growing solid buds - maybe 1.5 ounces when it's finished?
Utopia Haze - 85 Days old - 42 days 12/12 - 23 days since pistils - brix 13/14
SLH Reveg is humming along, not doing anything particularly notable. I think she's finishing stretch, so it'll be another short one, but I've been getting pretty good yield from shorties.
SLH Reveg - 218 days old - 21 days 12/12 - 11 since pistils - brix 11/12
Same with JD4 - hummin' right along. She set pistils this week.
JD4 - 131 days old - 14 days 12/12 - 4 days since pistils - brix 11/11
Here's the White Panther cut that replaces the one I just harvested. This one probably won't be as big - 7 main colas, half what its mother had - but I love the vigor and strong branches of this strain. I have 2 cuts almost ready, and I think I'll probably run both of them and scrap the Bland Topekas.
WP1 - 91 Days old - 14 days 12/12 - 4 since pistils - brix 11/13
Here's the first Panama cut - put her in 12/12 yesterday. This one got vegged to twice the height of the mother, so I have high hopes for it. I'm going to pay special attention to this one - I'd love to get 3+ oz of sticky primo purple bud. Great characteristics in this strain!
Pana1 - 62 days old - brix 14/15
Here's the Bland Topeka cut I have on deck, ready to flower. I'll cull it unless the cured bud improves a lot. A pity - this one has such a gorgeous habit.
Thai1 - 61 days
The other "Thai" that I was LSTing will go, too. This ugly stalled Panama cut got planted into a 6 gallon pot yesterday. She'll recover there and I'll get her into flower to replace the culled "Thai".
Pana2 & Thai2 - 61 days
I'm going to have another hole in my perpetual so I'm going to plant these seedlings directly into 6 gallon pots. They've been in the solos for too long as it is, so I'm confidant they'll take to the new soil easily. I hope to gain a week or two in veg.
The cuts should be ready for pots this week - I'm just waiting for some new 1.5 gallon square white pots to arrive today.
Here's the harvest from Bland Topeka:
