Thanks again. I'll keep a vigilant eye on her and look forward to a chop next week.

Pluck one of them carefully, take it outside your room and smear it between your thumb and fingers. I'll bet there's no pollen.....I hope there's no pollen! My Champagne strain does this and I ignore them. I haven't seeded a crop yet. Willie Nelson also did this. Again, no seeds.

Thats really good to know, Doc, re WN..my 2 WN seeds are in and up! Any other unique experiences with the Willie?

 

[DrZiggy]

Doc, is it possible that the use of the GE drench late flowering (to bulk up the buds) slows or maybe prevents the pollen formation, since the plant hadnt yet enough time to mature into pollen in the 'nanas?

Bloom it right now. It's a monster.

11/13 from seed will be the next way I do it.

My grow is 11/13 from seed.

Doh! You're on the right track then. Patience! If you get a good harvest you'll be like me....wasting all kinds of time and money in pursuit of the finest. I LOVE Willie Nelson.

This little lady was showing some questionable gender behavior during today's inspection. I observed a new set of nanners plumping up so I made the chop call. I believe she still had more to give as there were fresh pistils in a few spots and about 15% amber 35% clear 50% milky. These pics are right at chop. Later i washed them in SNS 311 with barely warm water and 3x rinsed them in cool tap water. 500gm was semi trim weight before wash.

Vondank, beautiful pictures of amazing buds! Congratulations!
You do your screename proud

 

[VonDankenhoek]

Thanks very much Dr.Z. I appreciate your compliments very much.Thanks to Doc Buds's guidance and kit. Thanks too to fellow 420HB practitioners.

Those look so damn good! I love weed that looks like that......

Please let me know if you got any seeds, not only in these plants, but in others that might be exposed to pollen. I've got a couple strains that toss nanners late in bloom, but they are sterile. No seeds yet. That is going to be legendary smoke....just look at it! Wow!

 

[VonDankenhoek]

Thanks for your kind words Doc. Ill certainly let you know if i discover seeds.

 

[VonDankenhoek]

Here are a few buds that are trimmed and jarred. The jar humidity is at about 65%RH. Ive got them with 62% bovedas (interested in the new 54's). At just 6 days after chop the fragrance is very fine, the flavor is delish (and the yield pleasing.) Thanks everyone. After a little cure action I'll make a smoke report.

 

[DrZiggy]

Just beautiful!

 

[Graytail]

Yeah, you have to post those shots in Buckshot's eye-candy thread. That's gorgeous photography.

And, of course, I'll be expecting to see it entered in NOTM.

 

[VonDankenhoek]

Thanks guys. Wish we could pass a smoke around and enjoy it together.

 

[OldSchoolBud]

Awesome job! I was just thinking about getting these myself. Can't wait for the smoke & yield report. How was the smell during the grow?

 

[VonDankenhoek]

Thank you OSB.

I have oversize ventilation so odor control was no issue for me. it exudes a fruity sugary note that has a decent degree of penetrating pungency. It needs appropriate control but it's not a true stinker.

I was pleased with the yield. I would recommend SP for kit soil. It grew great, was a pleasure. The early take is a mild euphoric slightly racy start that unfolds into a relaxed, serene and restful body high. Smooth and tasty flavors.

VonDank, my goal is to vote the 3rd choice down the next time that poll is given
Know thy Grow..

 

[VonDankenhoek]

Zig i hear that. Its a little more nuanced and tricky to determine the time frame when the flower is at peak perfection.

I noticed a while back when growing a Western Wind, a branch snapped accidentally 2-3 weeks before chop. I just let it sit in the veg room and dry out. Later when i 'found' it and sparked it up it was the best smoke out of a good harvest of very good bud. It was not washed. Maybe my timing and conditions were in perfect sync, not sure. It had the best feel, fragrance and nice power. Reminded me of best of the 70s.
