Evening everyone....

Trich shots to share today, and get your feedback. I am shooting for almost all cloudy, with very few clear, and very few amber. More upbeat and energetic (I was going for sleepy with my Purple Kush a month or so ago). What do you guys think?

GSC:
My opinion: getting really close, a few more days.

looking like a great harvest very soon mate. well done for those beauties. I think you may be bang on for your thoughts on trichs and the crack still needing time too. You are understanding the potency issue well too. nice research mate. On the pot sizes issue. have a quick look at my latest barneys grow. I have 3 diff sizes and styles of pot going on creating different results. My choice was 27ltre fabric pots but i lost 3 somewhere so had to use 2 plastic 20L and a shopping bag about 25 litres and one bigger outside of that with the bottom half only filled ( ran out of coco filling it so had to go with it as it was. ) Ironically the shopping bag is the hugest beast in the room. followed by most if the fabric pots and dwarfing the plastic ones. I dont mess about transplanting ever and go from seedling cups into their finals and water intelligently until the roots have been teased out to the edges. The roots will send hungry , active taproots down and a web of thinner laterals for support and feeding nutes through too. The tap roots are crazy gast and will find the bottom of most pots very fast while the laterals weave their matting outward. Ad ling as you keep teasing them towards the pots edges during early life and dont waste water filling the whole pot with unusable nutes rhen all should be good. This is a common practice for me and it doesnt impair my grows as far as i can tell.

Thanks Grandaddy! I am thinking that I will chop the GSC tomorrow, and then take a look at the other two under the microscope again on Friday. They have been fun to grow, but ready to try some other cultivars soon!

I don't think it was me asking about pot sizes, but interesting information regardless. Definitely need to check out journal again - it has been a while since I stopped by there.

Have a great day!
 
Hey everyone,

Here is my GSC today. I am shooting for almost all cloudy, with very few clear, and very few amber. I think another couple of days? What do you think?

Thanks!
 
A few days should see the trichomes that are starting to turn cloudy finish doing so. The few that are still clear should start turning cloudy.
 
Thanks guys... yes, a couple of more days. Finish line in sight!
 
Fun stuff in the mail today! Two different seed orders both arrived on the same day.

From @SeedsMan

The little vials at the bottom left are Dinachem (for the comparative grow) and Sugar Breath.

And this from Neptune... (bottom row is what I bought, top row was freebies).

Everything went into the ziplock bag with desiccant packs, into the freezer. Will be several months before any of these gals see dirt.

Christmas came early!
 
Trainwreck today... nope. I will wait to see almost all cloudy, with just a few clears and a few ambers. Will check again in a week.

Happy Friday everyone!

Today was the day to check in on my Green Crack photo-gal. It is DAY 51 since pistils, so just starting her 8th week.

Over the past few days, of noticed these "pointy buds" forming on the top-most branches, with new pistils emering. I *think* these are called foxtails, and can be a sign of stress, or just a natural growth. I feel like the environment is pretty good (40-50% RH, 70-80F, no light leaks) so I am hoping it is just nature progression of the flowering process.

For some reason, this little bumpy buds remind me of the kid from the Grinch. :)




Dug out the microscope, and here is what I saw (the big patch of amber is a dried pistil):

My rough estimate, with limited experience, is about 30-40% clear, 50-60% cloudy, and just a few amber. I do want to catch this one a bit earlier than I did my Purple Kush (that one was for sleepy meds), where as the plant will be for happy/daytime use. So I am thinking a few days more, but less than a week. What do you guys think?

Hope you are having a great weekend!
 
So Cindy Lee Who (my Green Crack photoperiod) continues to go through another growth spurt of a different kind that I was expecting. These nodules/secondary buds/foxtails/crowns are growing quite quickly! Hoping that someone can give me a little advice. When I scoped a mid-level bud yesterday, I thought that she was quite close to finishing up (lots of cloudy, a few clears, a few ambers). But she is still drinking a lot, leaves look actively growing, and these bud-additions with fresh pistils. If I let her go longer, say a week or two, to allow these new bud-appendages to fill out, I wonder if the older buds will get progressively more amber?

My understanding is that foxtailing can result from stress, but can also just be naturally occurring. I think these are natural, not stress, as temperature, humidity, light and nutes are all in good shape.

Opinions anyone? @Pennywise, @Derbybud, @Barney86, @Old Salt, @InTheShed, @Ganjagrandaddy, @Chris Scorpio, plus anyone else who would like to weigh in.

Thanks!

Thanks guys! I'll give it several more days and then scope it again.

Penny, the trichs on the new bud-thingies with the fresh white pistils are all clear. Lower down on the plant, about mid-level bud looks like this (yesterday):
