Uneven growth in hydro system

[Chris Scorpio]

Can't wait for a smoke report on the Skunky McSkunky

The next generation, there be skunk candy in dem dere clones, ...lol

I can't thank you enough for those genetics Chris, they are actually bulking up bigger than the green crack that initially was the biggest.

I'm glad I didn't pull that critical mass when it went hermie, it is the largest producer of the bunch. So far, I don't see any more pollen sacks, and I'm pretty sure I got them all, harvest time will tell

I think if I properly cropped the skunk candy, it would have out performed the whole lot of them.

It might be an oil report, I don't smoke much these days, before bed time mostly
You can come over and spark one up and tell me what you think

 

[Bluenoser]

I figured out why my green crack looked funny and the buds just weren't stacking up like the other plants seemed to be, I have seeds

I trimmed off a lanky lower branch that wasn't getting much light that had started to bend and snap anyhow, and after I trimmed the leaves, I noticed the seed pods poking out here and there, there were only 3 seeds, but now that I can identify the seed pods, I can see them here and there on the other buds on that plant.

Looks like my best efforts to pull the hermie nuts off the plants did not work, now I've got a crappy crop at a huge electricity cost.

The buds on the other plants still look good, but I'm worried about the potency, and of course, the useless hermie seeds make it not desirable by anyone but me, which is OK, because it was solely for my own medicine of course. It's most likely all going to be oil in the end.

I have a feeling they will all be pollinated if that one plant is, how bad do you think this has ruined my crop?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I smoked a bunch of my fully seeded GDP and my ACDC as well
Smoke was great, just seedy

It will be fine

All we used to get back in the day was seeded bud, so don't stress it

 

[Bluenoser]

I remember getting tons of seeds on my 1/2oz bags I used to buy back in the 80's at the bar, I still got more stoned than I needed to be, lol.
I remember that snap crackle POP when you were smoking it and missed a seed, haha.

I can tell for sure that the green crack and the blue dream are definitely not stacking up like the critical mass and the skunk candy are, the blue dream is way at the back, and I can't reach it, so I think if any nuts slipped by me it's probably from that plant.

Interestingly, the critical mass that went hermie is the one with the nicest buds on it, without that lumpy seed pod look to them, nice and hairy.

Next grow will be a winter grow, no chance of heat stress like what happened to this grow

Things are coming along, only a couple weeks left to harvest, but my green crack almost looks ready now with those deep orange hairs and trichomes that are on the verge of getting milky.
Unfortunately, the green crack got pollinated, and as you can see, it's producing FAR less than the others are. Lots of trichomes though, but lots of seeds, doh.

Time to start planning harvest and thinking about flushing soon. They went into flower on Aug 15th, wonder when exactly I should harvest? Different strains, blue dream, critical mass, green crack, harlequin and skunk candy all in one grow......

[Bluenoser]

Any suggestions on when I should harvest based on the strains I have and when they went into flowering?
The trichomes aren't quite milky yet, but the green crack hairs are really red, and the skunk candy leaves are starting to get ugly, dried up and yellow.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Pics of the buds will help?

Do you have a loup

 

[Bluenoser]

Yup, I have a loup

Judging by your pics, my green crack is definitely ready, it has mature seeds popping out here and there, and the critical mass is just starting to turn red.

The reason I'm asking for opinions is because I am not sure if I'm calculating right, it should be a couple more weeks if the plants went into flower on Aug 15th right?

Maybe I should start flushing right now.

Here are some pics, not the greatest, but the girls are tucked in for the night now, I'll get better ones tomorrow

I'd say another week before flushing.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Don't go by time, go by trics and hairs

Green crack might be ready, check the trics

Rest look like lots of white hairs still
The skunk needs at least a week ish, do you want higher CBD or THC on it?

 

[Bluenoser]

So a week longer, then flush for a week, then harvest?

I was watching a video today that recommended 48 hours darkness, then harvest. Is that true?

 

[Bluenoser]

The more CBD, the better for me
That Harlequin that is 1:1 is a tiny runt and did not produce or grow compared to the other plants, it was a let down.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I do time out, not everyone does

 

[Pennywise]

I don't do a dark period.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

The more CBD, the better for me
That Harlequin that is 1:1 is a tiny runt and did not produce or grow compared to the other plants, it was a let down.

I pulled my latest Candida when it was mostly cloudy, few white hairs still popping out
So don't wait to long on the Skunk if you want higher CBD, but the week then flush sounds about perfect

 

[Bluenoser]

The problem is that my only drying space is in this tent after harvest, so I was kinda hoping they wold all finish up together so I could hang them together at the same time.

If I have to hang some outside the tent while the others are finishing up, they won't be in darkness and the humidity will probably be higher from the plants still breathing and the hydro water.

 

[Bluenoser]

I just took a close look at my clones, and the green crack clones from that one that is pollinated are covered in nutsacks!

Guess those clones will be going in my juicer tomorrow, lol.

 

[Bluenoser]

Well, it's confirmed, the blue dream plant in the far back where I could not reach has 4 small half dried up flowers on it. Now I know for sure how my green crack got pollinated.

I cut off the couple stalks that has the flowers on it and removed them, but should I cut down the rest of the blue dream plant now?
It probably has more flowers I can't see, they are so small. It appears that is self flowered, the flowers came right out of the base of the buds, like a nanner would.

I'm only less than a week until full harvest, I guess all the damage that could be done has been done already right?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

A week won't create any more seeds

Ride it out
