Oh man! If it weren't for being bent, topped, fimmed, and most recently super cropped, they for sure would have been.That's exciting that they are stinky. When I first saw those in the start of the journal, I thought, those things are going to be fifteen feet high.
F1 currently has 2 tops eye level with me and I'm 5'11" lol
A couple of my plants got leggy and too tall, I put them in too early and reveg happens. I think I should have trimmed them more, just cut them down at three or four ft. . I didn't have much luck with bending, twisting, crushing. I never tried it before, so I wasn't very good at it.
Sorry there Mister Waffle,, I never learnt to read,, but I did see the name of the thread,,, and went to the first post or two. But looking at the last set of pics and the title,, can I ask where ya found this plant? Sorry I ask if you've explained,,, but I'm alittle dense.. Have to be careful of anything you 'find' in the Midwest. Least afew areas I've been. Weed grew wild. Well not wild,, just wild from the hemp farms. WW2 we paid farmers to grow weed. And the strains they produced. MFers got HUGE. Least the main stem wood. Some of them plants got way over 15' easy. I seen them in Ind, up northern ways acouple miles away from one of the biggest X-hemp farms in the state. I seen the shit growing on ditches and edges of corn all over the state. I mean over 15' plants. Loaded with seed,, and headaches. Give true meanings,, even if it is true, smoke a rope. Or a doormat or a tag off a old sleeping bag. I got thrown in jail in 78' thinking I'd make a dollar off 50 pounds of it out in Cali,, all I got was jailed when I was 17. But I was a stoner long before I moved there,,, close to Gary Ind, and I had tons of 'Old Lumbo' seed in a good mix of them. I threw all my seed stock out over 4/5 good patches, like a 4 finger bag of seed. I'd hope they cross mingled and improved the local stock. Oh well,, I'm babbling,, but wondered about your seed,, is ALOT of great breeding went on over there.. Bubblegum is from local Ind growers. I was a kid back then and even seeded Mexican was killer at the time. Just want to tell ya wild plant can be a bad thing for a garden. Hope you got good solid seed stock from a grower, not just wild stock???
I see your close to me,, man strain is so important around here. Here we are,, if you can find yourself tomorrow for aminute in the dark, but rains start Oct 1st and mold kills 30% of yields around here after the rains start,, even with a cover over them. It helps,, keeping them out the rain. Be prepared,,, fans,,,,,,, alot of them,,, and dehumidifiers. When that temp starts to drop and the rain starts, even dry plants get mold. You 'MIGHT' help your girls with a dose of Actinovate as a drench. I dose all mine come the first of next months. And again in a week after the first. They claim it helps with rot. Also add sila a time or two soon. Build strong bones like calcium. Strong cell walls help with pests and molds. I use to use the heavy hitters for a fungicide. Eagle 20 one time first of Sept. But it's synthetic and don't go over well with tests. It's dissipated after 21 days. But for the sake of things this stuff isn't for me. But is one thing I can tell ya to do,, if anything, try Captin Jacks Dead Bug Brew come first of Sept. One good spraying will keep from having bud worms feasting on the buds. Besides from caterpillars climbing outta buds as they dry,, they do damage to the plants that invite molds. I don't get out and about much anymore,, but if you ever need to ask anything,, drive by and give me a yell.... I 'might' know something or someone;

Hey NorCal,
I found these ladies mom on my bro in law's property. They're a little west of Omaha.
The more I read about the hemp they used and the Midwest, the less nervous I'm getting.
When I was there I just started meandering around. Over right outside a patch of woods, there she was. A 4' tall vibrant colored sativa with seeded buds.

My in-law is in law lol and told me he actually had to clear quite a bit out of his property.
At the time that made little difference, I was excited to find some wild weed. Lol
Now in retrospect, hemp is hella tall would have been in a field and are generally one stalk.
What I found looked like weed, near woods, within walking distance from the road but hidden from sight, with a near by tiny little Creek. I think I may have stumbled on an old abandoned gorilla grow!
I dunno, but the more I think about it, the more I'm confused. I'm going to ask my bro about the property prior to his buying it.

And thanks for looking out NorCali! I have some autoflowers going too, just in case
I like pictures myself, if you go through the journal, you'll see I post a shit load. I'm a visual and hands on kinda guy

one of my favorite parts of growing is manipulating the plant. When I grew indoors, i would lst the shit out of my ladies! the pinching, or super cropping always worries me. always ends up ok.
if you ever have any questions, I will always try my best to help!!

So I found his property, pre house, on Google Earth.
Wish I knew when this pic was!!! That's not my Bros vehicle either......
It'd be pretty rad if these ended up being solid genes lol
Anywho, what do you guys think????

Hey Norcal glad you found BWaffles journal it sounds like you might have improved the smokablity of the wild Midwest strain in certain areas lol and BWaffles might be a benefactor. Lol

Hahahahahahahaha wouldn't that be some shit!?
All three have citrus but they're all different.
F1-Tangerine F2-Naval Orange F3-Lemon Water
I'm jacking the nutes up over the next 5 weeks so we'll see what we can come up with!
That's cool. The government tried to eradicate it, but they just can't kill the little weed. We think of hemp being a tall skinny plant with no side branching, which is true to form when grown on farms. Planting hemp close together produced the tall skinny plant fighting for the sunlight and trying to tower over all others. But take that same plant and give it space and the right wind and water, it turns into a bush. One of the prettiest plants I ever saw was on the edge of the railroad tracks, maybe 8' perfectly shaped sativaish plant, I ever seen. Perfect X-Mas tree shaped,, and I've been hooked on pretty plants ever since. I hope she turns out well for ya... If you go back takes some bag seed and sow it around to hopefully mingle.. That area was known for hemp farms too. Or it might be a place stoners went to burn a dubie and cleaned acouple seeds out and there ya go... GL and Keepem Green
Happy eclipse day to you! We got about 70% down here and the morning cloud over broke enough to see it a bit.
Yeah the plants that got away from me revegged and got leggy, and they also got septoria yellow fungus spots, and I didn't want to overstress them so I let them go. The plants over five feet tall so I'll get something. Mj is fun to grow because it is so responsive and amenable to manipulation.
I don't use eagle 20, and I don't use spinosad(Captain jack) but I don't want to disrupt your thread with that discussion. Its a complicated and controversial and I understand both sides. I use Serenade and I'll probably add actinovate to my program.
I have some folks out near Omaha. One interesting point about your grow, whether something most probably from industrial strain, has interesting properties if grown well and as sinsemilla.

Glad you got to atleast see some of it!! I was lucky, saw 98% from my back patio.
I use Serenade too! I try to stay more natural than not. I'll only invest in the WMDs if the shit gets real bad. Other than that, I stay natural and will wash my buds before dry.
Yeah, the other cannabinoids are usually way more present, especially CBD. Hence legal CBD products.
I know I kinda have my eggs all in one basket, but I figure I will have something that has pretty nugs and I love growing it haha
My biggest question that I always ask is, why was the weed full of headaches? Because it was full of seeds and didn't have nutrients or good living conditions? There are so many questions I have, that will hopefully be answered by this harvest!!
Thanks B!!

We definitely have some good vertical growth in the greenhouse!
I realized last year that it took 3 days to fully really see the effect of my feeding. Day 2 is a nice little sneak peak, and I tell you what! I can wait to see these guys tomorrow!
F1
Shes so tall. All see when I look at her limbs....donkey dicks.
I'm not talking Tijuana jackass shows, I'm talking 2 liter bottle nugs.
Slam back to reality....there's a chance they popcorn up like ruderalis...
Ugh this grow plays with my emotions
Under the line. My little solar farm.
F2
Shes still weird, still lanky. We'll see.
Seems to be a ways behind.
F3
She made the most noticible jump.

Dang they are going fast now
Interesting that your leaves on those plants look like the 'indica' phenotype of the Lebanese strains that I am growing this year. Narrow and long and sawtooth edged. Contrary to popular opinion, hemp actually is a lot closer genetically to indica than sativa in the online published genetic tests. Also Lebanese strains are high in CBD, and seem to have a lot of hemp in them. The Lebby plants are a lot denser growing though (even with less pruning).
