@Krissi1982, I've seen a few pics of your buds in the past just drenched and completely covered in trichs like brain coral or something, so I know it's nothing new to you, but I honestly don't have a whole lot of reference points for trichomes this big and long and crazy. Yeah, she stinks alright. You're only what, 1000 miles from here in Florida? Maybe not quite that stinky yet. Lmao.
I think genetics play a huge role but when they pop like yours are or some of mine have, it just makes you not be able to look away! It's like I can hear "Follow the light Carol Ann". Trichomes like that pull me into some other orbit!
I am coming down in a few months for vacation, I'll be around PSL.....js....
Lol. Ask @oldmanjj, you're always welcome in this grow room. You'd be the third forum visitor to see the place, (omjj/wife = 1,2, lol), and maybe 4th if you came with a guest as I would assume you would! Hell, by then it'll even be cured to the point of good smoke!
TK would accompany I'm sure. Is it like Italians and buying a new car, instead of dropping change in your car, do I drop nugs in your grow space?
LOL! Absolutely not. When you're in this grow space you bust out no nugs, I do all the busting. Unless you WANT to. But I kinda feel like if someone is actually going to hassle to come visit me and choose to go through all the brief awkwardness that happens when you first meet someone that way, the least I can do is lay the nugs out!!!! Besides, in omjj's case, he flew here, so....
Wow now he wanted in that space lmfao!!!
Ha! That makes two of us! Cool, I already know what I need to know about you anyway, ie, you likely won't kill me or rob me, and odds are you'll be nice.Wow now he wanted in that space lmfao!!!
Awkwardness? I don't know social awkwardness. Not in my nature at all. It'll be like we've known each other for years. I'll bring cannoli if I'm not allowed to drop buds
Hi @BubbaKush909, happy Saturday. Yeah, every breeder is going to give you a slightly different product to start with at the genetic level depending on how they made the cross. So my 420FastBuds Zkittlez plant will naturally be a little or a lot different than your 420 Zkittlez plant. But sour is weird for the strain, never heard that before. Interesting. Mine smells like I said, which is just in this case a bit stronger and better than the smell I expected given the first ones I grew. They've always smelled approximately this way, this one's just more intense. That said, I don't think there's anything special about the 420FB genetics. This is a very pedestrian auto. There's a better breeder of it out there just haven't looked around yet. That's what I look for when seeking auto or photo seeds, is, which breeder has the best version of this strain? Like Jack Herer. Where's the breeder saying it's a 24% THC plant? Good luck. Or Super Silver Haze is another just like that. Who has the best? How do we find out? You see what I mean?
Lol, yeah @Azimuth, that's why the Jon trim method in this case is likely to involve ending up with a bowl full of nubs potentially. I might chew them like chewing tobacco. Lmao. You've seen my trims. Do you really think I could live with these abominations on my end sweeties? Um.....probably no. We'll see how many buds actually have the look in around two weeks or so? when they're about done? What do you think? A week? 10 days? Two weeks? I can't even take trichome pictures yet. I'm thinking more like two weeks, but given her age already she may finish fast, especially now that I cut the light in half. I don't know if autos respond to that kind of change as photos would or not (most photos would get on with it and finish faster if you cut their light in half this late in flower), but I guess we'll find out. It's a significant light cut, from almost 1400 down to 800 ppfd. Never did it like this before, but also never had foxtails like this before, and lol, this isn't even bad.And ask Krissy how muchfunmore challenging the foxtails are to trim.
Well, auto's and coco. Two things I have zero experience with. Do you find changes you make in coco happen faster than in soil? Like everything in soil seems to take longer, and I'm wondering if the same applies to response times to the changes you're making now.
That's an excellent question, and Titan is my first auto in coco so I don't really know yet, at least regarding these particular changes. I know from knowing that the foxtailing will immediately stop, but that's all I can say for sure. The cut in light and heat was intentionally such that it's now impossible as these foxies are my fault, not genetics. Had I only cut it back to say 1200 ppfd I would not say they'll stop for certain. But at 800 and the mid 70s you can bank it. Lol. I will say that during her growth in general, the three times I saw what I would consider a close to immediate response was the three bokashi and frass tea feedings this plant got. That seemed to exact a "within 24 hours" visual response in terms of growth uptick that lasted four or five days maybe. Those are the only non PB nutes by the book thing this plant has had besides Terpinator, molasses, and a little Microbe Brew and seeweed. I haven't added any chemical anything to the PB prescription. But I would say that in the past I have seen autos respond a bit more quickly on both the positive or negative reaction to things nute related. Like when I needed to green up the Jack Herer and within 24 hours she had visually already begun the process, for example.
Damn I missed this, which must be why I didn't sleep as well last night.
Like Skittles?
Thanks @InTheShed! I don't know about the Skittles smell. That's what I'm looking for, but to my palate, the smell of a Skittle is not as distinctive or unique to itself as say a Sour Patch Kid or Fruit Loops cereal. I register Skittles smell as more just generally sweet than particularly fruity, and that's probably a fair description of the smell, so I guess???I love the pics and I am so glad you're only posting pics worthy of the upcoming coffee table book now.
And I knew when you started saying you didn't like foxtails that it had to be related to the meticulous trimming job you do. Whatever comes off in the trim send to Azi and he'll use them for chaw...I hear he's into THCa.
