Interesting how many three finger leaves there are.

It seems like your TB once it gets to a certain age it starts to show signs of flowering
I took cuttings once a few grow back after I put it in flower
These were taken a week before
This is about the 6-7 time I have taken cuttings from cuttings of this strain
no worries it will start making 5s soon
could also be I am vegging under 3000 k lights

Yeah, well you saw mine was like that too. Once she went to flower things got normal pretty quickly though.

Ladies and Gentlemen….
It is my great pleasure to introduce……

THE ROTATING ONE PLANT SCROG

Ha! I don’t care if someone says “oh, poor me, I’m a widdle handicapped boy and I can’t have a scrog…wah wah wah….”

As I did. Fuc- me. Even when I say it to myself it makes me want to say “oh yeah, self? Let’s see about that.”

Here you go.

Heh. Don’t tell me “you can’t.”

Hi @Jon, you did it and it looks pretty good . That will be a big tree. I can't wait to see how the scrog grows.

Great minds think alike! From Dec 2017 (not mine):

A topping we will go, a topping we will go…..lol.

Topped six of the side branches. Now that we have the screen, I can do what I want. Cool.

 

[InTheShed]

It's gonna work like a million bucks!

 

[Jon]

So here’s what the damn Mandarin Hermie, I mean Zkittlez, turned out looking like after a three day quick dry with fans pounding the buds in a well lit room (I was pissed, lol). I didn’t bother trimming it all but I did a few buds. Too bad. It’s stinky and sticky and gassy and fruity. Gets you very high too, even taken three or four days early. Too damn bad.

You can always make something else out of it if you don't like picking seeds

If you could only get your hands on a kief screen for the rest of it...

Oh I am @Joe Brewster - I have a pretty impressive kief collection. The Mandarin Zkittlez kief is gassier than anything I have. Once in a while I crave that gassy taste. The MZ will be the latest entry.

Here’s what I have out at the moment. I probably have four times this. You can see what the two smaller ones are. The big open one is Watermelon WeddingCake - all that came from one plant, on top of almost 14 ounces of yield. The smaller open one is White Widow. I’m a huge kief fan. There are several aficionados - I know @Rexer is one who shares my love for well cured kief.

So it’s far from a total loss. And I didn’t have to go to trim jail!

Btw - you know how sometimes you get buds that have nothing more than the occasional seed, and the ones they have are fully formed and right on the outside of the buds? Those I won’t share (I would never share one hit of weed with any seeds in it), but I have no problem smoking it myself. Big deal, an occasional pick. And those I keep. Unfortunately the Mandarin Zkittlez is not like that. It’s full on hermie. Completely full of those little white seeds that are not even viable seeds, just husks. Most of them are flattish. It’s impossible to pick them or smoke around them, and I can’t smoke through them. Hermies are the absolute worst.

Veg/Autoflower Tent
PMC XXL Auto and White Widow Auto

It’s getting rather buckety in here.

The White Widow popped and is now down and ready to go, as you see. The WW seed is from Original Harvest. The last one in a straight coco pot (no reservoir) was huge and won me POTM. So I am kind of expecting this one to get even huger, lol. Huger… I’m high enough to think that’s hilarious.

Meanwhile, the Platinum Mimosa Cookies XXL Auto is finally becoming worthy of the XXL title. Likely a combination of two things - mostly the fact that the roots are now jamming in the res, and maybe a bit of “this one takes off in flower.” But since the start of the stretch she’s been in high gear and now is a fairly largeish auto. One of the things to love about this training style is how much stem you get under every branch. No shorties here - they either don’t exist or they get culled. I can already tell that the lower ring of branches is going to be quite productive.

Here’s the bucket brigade. Lol.

Now that it’s been curing a while, here’s how the M and J turned out. It’s half decent. Heh.

These buds are rocks. The densest bud I’ve ever grown by a significant margin. When I say rocks, I mean when you drop a handful of buds like in the first picture onto a hard surface like a table, it sounds pretty close to if you had dropped a handful of Skittles on the table. ROCKS. Almost annoyingly dense, if there is such a thing. You have to either grind it or slice it with scissors (my personal preference). If you hand break up a bud and smoke it, the little unbroken pieces become these infinitely dense tiny rocks that just don’t burn like if it’s ground or sliced thin. I used to love when I’d get buds like this. Lol.

 

[Jon]

Uh oh, Jon is using the draw edit. Lol!

Here’s what I mean by getting stem under them.
