Hey Shiggity, my bad..... congrats on your win for nug.... mouth watering I must say....
We have a plant that has been in a 1 gallon for almost 3 months because of lack of room lol. Still healthy but you can't see the soil when you pull her out of the pot, 100% roots.
I smoked some OG kush bud that was 14 months old over the weekend and it's amazing on how much the taste has changed over time. A good cure does wonders.

That was how I was thinking you guys kept moms. This is crazy hobby, as soon as finish one project, it's off to the next. I definitely need the room for mixing and storage plus veg. It only cost me time, so that's not as bad as lights.

I remember years ago reading about the "barrel analogy" and it has affected my growing ever since. In this analogy each nutrient and environmental factor is one of the wood staves in a barrel. The longer the stave to higher the barrel can be and the more the barrel can hold. You can imagine it is filled with water.
Where does the water pour out? At the lowest stave. The lowest limiting factor will bring the grow down to that level. In this example picture the lack of nitrogen is keeping the grow down. If that wooden stave was taller then the next thing to raise would be potassium. Then we would tackle each stave in turn until we could hold the most water possible.
That's what I try and do with improvements. Fix the next stave in the barrel.

Great analogy Shiggs.
How do you "bonsai" a mother plant and keep it small like that? Just keep trimming it back? I was wondering how you keep a clone of say your Twister in veg for 15-20 years or however long you have.

Yes you keep cutting it back. It goes through a transformation to a very bushy low blade count set of leaves. For the twister and other strains you just keep cloning and send in the older clones to flower. It's still the same plant you are flowering. Each clone I take now is still 20 years old. Because it is off a 20 year old clone too.
With clones they are always as old as the first plant.

Another Strain question for ya Shiggity. I've been reading about this Zookies, a cross between animal cookies and GG#4. Story is the seeds were gifted to Golden State Cultivators from Alien labs, and GSC began pheno hunting and zookies was born.
Have you sampled this strain? Are these seeds available? I can't find anyone selling them

Hey Shiggs couple pics of my Pineapple Fields at 68 days of 12's. She started coloring pretty good in the last week or two. I think I may have the Ms U pheno. I let someone else smell it and they couldnt pin down the smell but said it smelt woody to them. I cannot associate it with haze when I smell it but haze is usually woody. Thanks for looking Shiggs

Yeti those buds are friggin Awesome! Look at the size of those calyxes!
Thanks man! I have never had calyxes this big. It is like the buds are made up of baby grape clusters!
That's exactly what I thought! Little resinous grapes!

I just had a CBD Critical Cure bloom like that.
It's the first time I've had one explode out like this. What lights are you growing under?
I don't keep mothers, but that thread is awesome. Learned something new! Thanks Sue!

Yeti she's gorgeous. Could be the Ms. U. Let it cure and we
Will see the final smells you get. I love the structure there on those buds. Tight clusters of easy bong hit size pieces. One of my favorite things about Pineapple Fields!

Thanks Shiggs! I think I may let her go to 11 weeks if she keeps changing color the way she has been.
