Get ready...
It's
PROJECT 27 UPDATE!
I have time on my paws...
Yes, mid-week blues with Midwest rain
For day after dreary day...
The fucking cold is getting old
And just won't go away.
So dreams of Spring keep lingering
As I wait for time to pass
My only hope, to smoke some dope
And sit here on my ass...
-Hyena
But upstairs in the secret attic grow lab THINGS ARE SPRINGLIKE!
Yes, it's a Sweet Sixteen party and you are invited! My girls have now become women, and the bloom game is on like Donkey Kong. It's always the happiest of days when the final turn of the race is made, hopefully at full speed and with a big lead! I really feel we are in awesome shape for the stretch run for all the flowers!
The stretch has pretty much ended for the taller ones, and the shorter ones never really stretched if you ask me so we have a medium-height, VERY thick (but even) canopy. I suspect it won't disappoint in the end, and maybe this time I won't end up supercropping half the branches and having to raise my lights as far as they will go...
The various varieties are viciously vulvating...
First frostation in the forbidden forest!
The rundown:
Left side:
Can't show you the White Widows in the very back plastered against the wall but they are stout and blooming nicely. The Big Nugs Fast in middle and front are off the hook...Definitely two distinct phenos, one with huge leaves and a lot of space between nodes, and another with thick stems, just beautiful spacing and real strong build. I like everything in this row and the side lighting hasn't hurt.
Middle looks like this:
Sour Jack is jamming in back...Hyena Berry is getting thick in the middle and even the two little autos are hanging in there in the very front.
Right Side:
A monster bash of Big Nugs Fast in front, Hyena Berrys in the middle whic are just KILLING it, and the prize pony BLUE HYENA in back.
That Blue Hyena's a freaking BEAST! This shot is blue as hell but look at the plant. Stout isn't the word...it's like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator.
That thing is going to be amazing I just know it.
So that's the update at 10 1/2 weeks. Everybody is happy including me.
Hope you are, too. Remember, no matter what your day is like, it could be worse.
Never, ever smoke pot. I mean it.
Peace, Hyena

Happy Friday!
Here's an anomaly...
A super-cool polyploid bud:
There are a couple more, occurring on one of the Hyena Berrys.
They say it will cause insanity if you smoke a polyploid cola.
But, if you are already insane, it may cure you!
SO...I'm looking forward to smoking this one.
Lately the same thing keeps happening to me, day after day...I've been meaning to watch Groundhog Day...but I keep getting high then forgetting to...
Just hangin' with my animal friends...have a great weekend!
Peace, Hyena

PROJECT 27 UPDATE
Happy Tuesday!
Raining here....rain, rain, rain, rain....
But not in here!
Here's an end view of the plantation...
All blooming away, swelling and getting stinkier by the hour.
We're starting into the truly fun period of a grow now, where everybody starts oozing resin and competing to be the frostiest. By all first indications, this will be a pretty frosty crop...
Not too sure who's who in these shots, don't have time to figure it out so among these is Blue Hyena, Big Nugs Fast and Hyena Berry
Hoestly the Big Nugs Fast variety is nice so far, but it doesn't seem any bigger or really any faster than the rest so maybe (probably) more marketing hype about it being "so much faster." Nothing is fast in the world of growing weed. The way it should be.
General development seems optimal everywhere. So many different races existing together in perfect harmony. If only the world of people was as peaceful and loving...
But the reality is, no matter how much you love them, you have to treat these girls with authority if you want them to be all they can be.
Peace, Hyena

THANKS my friend...
I truly appreciate that! I talk too much so this is the perfect outlet for that difficulty.
Getting high then writing about anything is somewhat dicey...I often come back to my own posts and read them later, and sometimes even I can't figure out what the hell I was talking about.
So I'm glad you can.
Check in more often, glad to know you are there!
Peace, Hyena
The lab is looking good hyena, always a joy to read and purrdy pictures always.

Happy Saturday!
Here's a PROJECT 27 UPDATE!
It's 12 weeks exactly today since the seeds went into the plugs.
It's going on up here.
Everything has been colder than usual here, much colder, with not one day in march even hitting 60 degrees so what has sucked for human existence has been quite nice for secret gardens in attics. It has stayed within 5 degrees variance for weeks now and even the below-freezing night temps haven't been a problem, my little heaters keep the room and the reservoir perfect. So that explains this:
Left side:
Thick and healthy, the Big Nugs Fast is all you see here...a nice but short White Widow lurks back there, bulking up too.
Middle:
Sour Jack in back has taken off a bit, lots of perky colas and I can smell it from here...Hyena Berrys in the middle are fat and sassy but also not really tall, mostly Indica so this experiment in flipping somewhat earlier than usual is going to answer some production questions in the end. I don't know if I flipped too early and maybe cost some production, or if they will still plump out just the same canopy will be lower. We'll see.
Right side:
Big Nugs Fast in front is maybe the best of them...Hyena Berry in the middle also robust with a ton of nice buds.
But the mighty Blue Hyena is standing tall and developing those long frosty colas I love already!
That plant is going to end up HUGE. Here's a cola:
Frosty licious.
I think everything has another month, three weeks maybe, I will judge by trichomes and the heat in the attic. If it gets too hot I won't ruin the buds, I'd rather chop a little early. In two more weeks these buds will already be great, I picked the first bud from one of the Hyena Berrys 4 days ago and smoked the dried and sparkly early bud this morning. Smooth, sweet, stony...got me high as hell for several hours now. I'm stoked.
Here's a couple more:
Now I'm just posting gratuitous bud porn...
You're welcome.
Peace, Hyena

Glad you stuck it out. Things are looking on point as usual.
The attic is looking great hyena! Wishing cool weather for you and your plants

Masters Sunday!
I love golf, and this is like a holy day. To a golfer. If you don't golf you don't give a crap.
I always like to relate it to weed.
See...he's no different than you and me.

Hi!
Here's the latest PROJECT 27 UPDATE!
This project is progressing nicely as we bloom away...
YES, the growing just keeps going!
Starting to get pretty frosty as the first true bud wave finishes...
That's Big Nugs Fast which in fairness should be named Nice Nugs But Not Any Faster, has a very sweet essence which I love, it's fruity like the original Blue Hyena. All the plants are productive, they will give a nice harvest in the end I'm confident.
There is also a couple White Widows back in the very back and I sort of crawled/wiggled back in there to do one assessment (it's hard to get back to the rear wall without damaging plants). They are perfect if somewhat short. Then I grabbed a branch and the nugs are FAT and hard. The WW isn't even close to fifnished so it will be a good one in three weeks maybe.
Some other nice fruit growing on the vine...
But still the lone Blue Hyena in the back right rules the roost! This plant is such a mighty specimen, she's just strong and perfect everywhere. If I was on the West coast I would be selling clones of this plant for years. Shame I have to have her all to myself in that regard, but I am drooling thinking about her big colas. They will definitely be the prize of this grow...
A closer look at one of the big, brushy colas which are just starting to fill with the second flowering wave:
Yeah, that's going to be some gooooood weed baby.
The first semi-casualty of the last phase of this project is the Hyena Berrys in the very center...
Like some other varieties, it seems to have a sort of limit to the light intensity it can handle and the GROWSTAR LEDs which now are the main lights are quite intense...even at the highest I can raise them they are burning out the Hyena Berrys in the center, really the brightest part of the grid and obviously too much for poor Hyena Berry. The other HBs to the right are fine, I think it's just a very intense lighting scheme because I leave both GROWSTARS in full VEG and BLOOM mode at all times so it's bright. I do that because I think more light = better, regardless of exact spectral mix. As long as all necessary wavelengths are present the overall light energy determines a lot of the growth potential. Just note that limits can be reached, even exceeded in certain places where many lights overlap.
However, it's interesting that the single polyploid bud which is on one branch of the center Hyena Berry seems to have significantly more resistance to this.
Does this indicate an all-polyploid plant would be stronger and able to absorb more luminosity? A super-strain? Would an all-poly plant produce more? I think the bud looks thicker but I don't know if that's mostly leaf mass or if a poly is really plumper. The branch is not longer. It would be so cool to figure out how to isolate such a characteristic, or even if polyploidism is genetically-related at all, or merely an anomaly caused by some environmental factor.
It's clear that one bud is able to withstand the extra lumens while the rest of the same plant cannot. This also rules out a nutrient-based cause of the leaf necrosis.
How could we make an all-poly cannabis variety? Frankenplant!
I really must be a mad scientist to be thinking that. And since I'm no scientist I guess I'm simply mad.
I will be taking a little vacation Tuesday through Sunday...have to leave the girls alone to bloom...bloom...bloom...
I hope they will be alright but since I'm planning to kill them soon anyway...whatever.
Peace, Hyena

The polyploid trait is really cool. In my limited research into it seems to be a genetic mutation that they can exacerbate in certain crops through the application of chemicals. Like I said limited research but it's a very cool phenomenon especially seeing it's extra resilience in this case.
- Thread starter

To me, usually, chemically-induced anything is probably bad. Maybe even bad in ways we don't foresee.
I have occasionally thought about using chem to alter life because I have this dream of finding a way to exponentially multiply the yield or potency of cannabis somehow. I also have a nightmare of a wierd laboratory mishap accidentally isolating something that turns into pure evil, gains a foothold in the genetic tree and eventually changes all cannabis into a deadly poison that ultimately destroys all life on Earth.
So, I'm always weighing those two things. Better leave the polyploid alone. I'll just smoke it.
Peace, Hyena
I think strawberry's was one of the crops they used it on. For what it's worth I certainly wouldn't want anything you created turning to the dark side.
