Alllllll righty. Seems like it's been too long for words around this place.
I've been burnin down some UD lately and honestly, it seems to make me too damn stoned to sit down and write. Man... ifff'n ya wanna shut yur brain down for a touch... try some UD. As an all day/every day smoker, it's been poundin me. I've been compensating by dropping my bowl size and skipping the '2 scoops' of powder on top. Grower problems.
A 3 month grow cycle - if that breaks down into 1 month veg and 2 months flower, and if you take your clones at the end of one month of veg, that is 44 generations
I got to pondering the math a bit more.
~3.5yrs. 42 months.
The OGKs have a really long rooting period. It takes like 3 or 4 weeks. So, a month to clone. Maybe another month to grow. So that leaves me at 2 months. Both those numbers are high... but that adjustment might be my 'lazy grower' factor.
So that leaves me around 21 generations. I feel much better about that number than my original 14. The original estimate seemed way low, but then, your estimate seemed too aggressive for a lazy grower.
(Someone (Conradino?) recently reported a plant in full flower that is alternating at the top and opposite branching lower down - I think it was new growth on the lower branches that is still growing with opposite branching. )
It was me... over on Con's thread... funny.
Since Norcaliwood says it, and knows lots more about growing, I'll concede that one can make Y branching on a mature plant.
I find it much easier to bend down the top 6 inches of a branch to near horizontal and get 3 or 4 tine 'fork' branching.
I gotta start bending up my UDs. They might do some interesting things when sculpted in various ways. I kinda wanna leave the main spike in place and spread out the secondary level.
So many things to play with! My garden's like a damn toy store with new things available to try whenever I want. Once the 2L flow settles fully into place I'll start dancing on the waves some in my little sea of green.
Ok so I think you have OG pheno here. I mean it should be very different from Boom cause she's actually stretchy, but not very branchy and wide. She looks more like Aurora Ultra the mother. Buds are long and stringy, but not very hard and she has very little leaf. Branches are rather short and spare. High is a strong mixture of both worlds more like classic OG and confusing at times.
Ah and if you look just below the top cola there's this bottleneck thing that almost all phenos do
You seem to have a knack for calling them.
This pheno is really light on fan leaves and most of them yellowed very early on leading to much self pruning.
The UD buds have been super dense... even more so now with the added light. Not huge, but really heavy.
The notch in the top cola... funny you mentioned it. I've been watching just that issue and wondering about it. I kind of see it as a transition area between the spike and the 2nd level.
