Just Beautiful.
You have 2 distinct stains there.
The harvest times will be different, correct?



Stay safe

@Bill284 actually I have 3 different strains. I am glad you brought up the different harvest times. I am a bit lost on that with this being my first grow indoors. Back in the late 70's & early 80's everything got harvested at the same time, same day. That is kinda what I was thinking I would have to do with this crop too. My grow tent is the only place I have to hang the plants that might be able to contain the odor/smell so i figured my Mango Kush would have to be harvested a little late and the other two strains maybe a little early. I'll post some pics of the different state of growth they are all at today.
1st two pics are of my Mango Kush. Farthest along from the start. Next is my Jamaican Lion X Maui Wowie cross I mangled to foxtail city by cranking my light up way too high about a month ago. Damage was done. Colas are huge but the top section spindly buds with foxtails galore. The last 5 pics are of my Acai-Berry X Gelato cross. Colas are big and it's coming on strong but still behind the Mango Kush.
I am really at a loss on how to dry these things without hurting the outcome. We keep this interior of the home at 76* and that's about as cool as the environment will be. Not ideal.
Next year I plan to frame out a section of my garage to a dedicated grow room with it's own mini-split AC so I can optimize the grow environment. I also plan to grow all 4 of my plants next grow from the same strain.

Ok @Retireegrower I think these are the 3 strains, not sure of the name but here goes.
This is a pure sativa.
Long flowering strain 10 to 12 weeks isn't uncommon.
You could have a month left on her.

@Retireegrower
Sativa

This one is a hybrid probably 9/10 week strain.
You have 2/3 weeks left.

@Retireegrower
Indica / Sativa Cross

AND back to my favorite the indica.
8/9 weeks usually.
You have a couple weeks left.

@Retireegrower
Indica

My advice would be find a drying room and harvest each strain separately when it's ready

@Bill284 wish I knew someone.

Few photo updates to the grow journal

few more from the weekend

 

[Retireegrower]

I've posted so much during this grow that most all ignore my posts. That's ok. I'm growing for me. Posting so i can go back later and look at different stages during my next grow for comparison. Was hoping to be able to engage other growers for conversation, but that just doesn't seem possible.
Anyhow. My girls are at 110 days old and 52 days in flower as of today. Tricomes are getting cloudy buy not much amber if any.
My one foxtail plant is still foxtailing. I have cut my light back to 40% and the light is as high as possible without removing the carbon filter/fan to exterior. Mango Kush is getting purple. Acai-Berry Gelato is starting to stack up the bud fatter.

Plants look Great!

I will comment more often so you don't feel ignored. It has just been a little difficult, I usually want a smoke and a nap after checking out your Bud Porn!

Journal update. Day # 115, and 57 for flower. Still no amber yet. Just rolling through the motions waiting (mostly) patiently.

@Chuckeye no. i downloaded the app when I first started the grow and didn't quite figure it out. Decided to get to that later, now it's at the end of the grow and I will definitely get it figured out before next grow gets out of the ground. My bad.
