I chopped two whole plants this week, and took a lot of buds off others.

Mystery Boggle in PP patch. Even these younger plants are having a spot or two of rot. The weather is getting dryer, so maybe they will last long enough for the seeds to mature. {hit with Grapes13 X Tangerine Power pollen}

Sorry, that is a Poly Shunk 1.5 {([triangle kush cookies x nightcap] x sinmint) X Shit/Skunk} It is the last round 2 plant in PP. Still showing lots of white. The Shunks are known for flowering early and having rot issues, but this one is hanging tough.

I would at least take all the top buds on #2.

{right now I can't imagine what it would be like to let something go too long}

#2 is getting chopped this weekend, probably tomorrow. She's definitely not going another week. I'll need to take the whole plant, a staggered harvest would be nice but I have to time things around my work schedule...which basically leaves me weekends.

Yea, I only work mine on camp nights. Needless to say, I haven't been getting much sleep the last couple weeks on camp nights.

Glad you pollinated that bottom plant, very nice coloring. Do you have a preffered male donor?

LOL, no, I’m one of those horrid chuckers :(. Screwed up, got lazy, used a few purchased seeds, and a few bag seeds from all femmes, lost track of strains :(. Had one full blown male that I had no clue from where it came, it’s the first male in 20 years :(. It was done and opening way earlier than the others so I moved it and when I had a couple of girls shoot pistils I did a few buds on them. Just harvested the purple one last night and trimmed. I’ll see what the offspring look like and maybe keep it going if worthy ;). Just getting the shed set up for the winter so can do some testing.

Interesting breeding is way over my head but love your


Wow I always admired people who breed shit and play with crossing, I always grab some seeds and clone them or I've tried like 5 autos
Especially with mold issues, I like tried and tested strains.... indoor is different.
This year outside I tried
Peyote cookies
LSD
for mold resistance
Black Dog
Candy kush
Pineapple Express
Pineapple chunk
For quick finish time...we sometimes frost hard in September and weather before that is perfect for mold growth. So anything more than 8 weeks is a huge gamble.
I also threw in some Deisel MOB from Maine honest herb company just to try it hope it finishes in on time?

I've harvested monster buds and had to cut them into baby buds just to stop the mold from taking all my shit, some years lost lbs to mold, or harvest early due to weather even on early strains. Here is to a warm dry fall

Just curious, how'd the Peyote Cookies and Diesel MOB do for you this year? Mold issues etc?

I'm thinking they might both be candidates for a date with some reversed Iranian pollen chucking fun this winter for some next year feminized seeds to play with. I'm guessing they both were early/mid September finishers?

Thanks in advance for any info. you care to share.

First outdoor Indica grow - Purple Kush. Started indoors until the weather warmed up. Used LST and coco with coco nuts. In flush and harvest stage now. Any tips would be great as I've had no success with cropping out on the my first 3 indoor grows. Definitely a 250W HPS isn't good enough, that or the different nutrients I'm using (was on DNF A/B) , now using Canna Coco A/B. Ph was around 6 in the past, now closer to 5-5.5 (hard to tell with dropper colour chart)


I'm on something like day 3-4 of just watering. She's warm indoors under insufficient light right now due to rain, but tomorrow i'll let her be outside in the sun again. Temps around 20 now during the day, 4-10c at night. Each cola seen has about 5-10g on it, some far more, lower branches less. The sun was likely the only difference between my past grows and current, but I have to admit I'd used PH down and did more frequent flushes (monthly) with this plant and as mentioned the change in nutrient brand too. Do my leaves have to t urn yellow before I begin harvesting? How long does that take in coco typically? This plant almost throws your back out carrying it. I'm guessing close to 35-40lb, 3.5' tall.

No success cropping out? I'll summarize my harvest for you.

Wait until the hairs are mostly red and the trichome heads are at least 20% amber. Also look for calyx swelling.

Cut branches into workable lengths. (about 2 feet) Trim and hang in a dark room with mid to low humidity. Dry about 5-6 days or until branches snap when bent. Put into jars and burp them twice a day for ten minutes at a time. Do this for a couple weeks.

Cheers!
