Did the first ones put out hermies
On one plant they did and I missed it. I found a bunch of tiny seeds in one of those in the last run of these. Just 2 nanners this late shouldn't turn into much of anything other than wasting time checking her dialy now. If she starts to throw a bunch or start throwing sacs like crazy I'll just pull her out, but I don't think it will come to that.

Your FP is looking great Fig. Mine don't seem as leggy but then again I had a couple setbacks with high heat for a while. Keeping my fingers crossed for no hermies and good buds. What temps you keeping your tent at?

That's looking great man! My temps have been 78*F lights on, though spring is here now and I'll be at an 81 high until harvest. Lows have been 68, but are now 71.

I think I saw another nanner starting in today's check of the FP. I'll confirm tomorrow.

Edit: Talking about not being leggy, this SB is going to be impressive. The buds are solid almost to the bottom!

Subbed up. Just put some Fruit Punch clones in my tent, hope they look as good as yours do. How is the smell?

Just found a conversion table for my ppm meter, and holy crap all of these girls have been hungry! Turns out I've been feeding around an EC of .8-1.6 almost all of flower! Keep in mind I'm feeding every water which is around 2-3 times a week, so these strains are heavy feeders. I figured my 400-800ppm was reasonable since using this thing, but that EC is not the norm. Just shows that reading your plants is just as important as having the tools you need to grow them with.

Lost you? PPM meter conversions? Those Tric pics look awesome! Wish my shitty camera could do magic like that!

PPM -> EC (Electrical Current). Depending on the type of ppm meter, your EC will vary. There are three different ways companies measure ppm, and they all convert to different EC values. Mine happens have the highest conversion rate of the three.

That trich pic was taken with a $35 digital microscope off amazon :bigjoint:

Chopped up the ED2 sample bud and it's seeded :cuss::wall:. One large greenish seed, and around 5 or so really tiny ones. My guess at this moment is I missed a nanner on the FP earlier. Also explains why it hasn't put on much weight the past couple weeks, and why it appeared to be finishing early. I also have a couple buds on the lower half of the SB that have matured faster and may be seeded. I'll check when the light comes on later this evening.

ED seeded hopefully none of your other girls got pregnant. Keepin' my fingers crossed for you Fig. Bummer or not? That ED+FP=FPE'd might make for some cool offspring? Or maybe just some good extract.

I just finished checking all 4 girls and that ED seems to be the only one. If so I'm a lucky guy b/c that tent us full with LOTS of airflow. I really have no idea how it would be the only one, especially since it's pretty much seeded top to bottom. If it was the FP then those offspring could be awesome if I can get some that don't throw nanners or sacs. Both are good yielders, have crazy good frost, and are vigerous. I'll try to find some time to grow these out over the next couple years. I have my next years lineup already picked out.
