@J.James mine was a few days from harvest, then decided to foxtail FREE WEED!
Now it's up in the air again.

Foxtailing isn't something that should be looked at as a bad trait, imo.

Hang time. Be back in a week to 10 days.

The hydroton harvest. 98% return, the other 2% roll around my basement floor.

My GG#4 likes to fox tail. If I let it go past 9 weeks it gets crazy, throws whites pistols right up to the chop.

I double checked the whole plant for nanners or any other signs of bad juju, and it still looks good. I just found my first amber, so there's a little time for them to go crazy.

Only bad thing I can see is if you let them just keep going, your original bud is still sitting there ripening, or getting past ripe. I am looking near the base of those when I check for amber trichomes, and still harvesting based on the ambers on the bulk of the bud, not the foxtails.

And it makes really cool knobby looking dried buds

This is day 92 (from monster-cropping) and only 47 since flip, less than 8 weeks. I think this strain is prone to it, so I just made sure it wasn't stress related, then hide and watch

92 days total?

92 days total?

My 2 clones were taken 1/27/19. The monster-cropped clones (taken about 3 weeks into flower) take a while to revert back to veg. This one took 45 days to just get it's first sets of "non-funky" leaves. Before that it puts out a lot of single leaf things, then some 3-toed leaves that don't even look like weed. When they finally put out the first "weed" looking leaf, it is usually deformed.

This one I flipped as soon as it got past that point. The one in the pic with my contest plants was taken the same day, but I waited longer to flip it. This was right before flip.

 

[H.A.F.]

You can see that it was scraggly but healthy, so I just flipped it to see what happens since I had 2. The other one I vegged about 3 weeks longer and put in a bigger pot.

If i do 93 days from cut my glues look alien. They fox tail and throw pistols, they swell like fat girls at a buffet. But, I say but, they lose terps. The smell and flavor diminish, the oil from to7chi g the stem dries up. They turn purple and swell though.
I've started cutting at 9 weeks max. I want a do shite buzz not a couch lock give up buzz.

I actually haven't done any regular clones. I just did the monster-crop on a whim to see if I could. Not a real fan though, it takes way too long.

Saturday update of the obvious winner.
Will do some up close, individual and comparison photos tomorrow. I've already done enough today.
Gotta ask though, I see a lot of great plants in this comp, but does anybody have this canopy and density.View attachment 4324010 View attachment 4324013 View attachment 4324015

Looking good.

Didn't think about the terps part, but that makes sense with the main mass of the bud just getting older while they grow.

I don't usually let the amber trichomes get over 25% before I chop. Usually when I see the first amber I start flushing and harvest prep. I like some couch-lock occasionally, but not for daily use.

[Madriffer]

Trimmed a couple leaves and branches from the bottom of contest plants.

 

[Madriffer]

At least 100 plus great clones in that pile. Another dilemma I will tackle in the future.
Still think I'm holding my own for less than 2 years growing, and less than 1 with this set up. Peace.

Is it Kush, oh, no. Way2High?

Ya sadly it’s me, Dan is doing good though.

NO! You have a pile of trash you pruned so you can have beautiful plants.

If they were clones, they would be in those cute little rooter things with lights on them

Hope that helps. That is how I crossed that mental hurdle

Also, when you prune those lovely shoots just ask yourself if you need more plants. If you do, hit the clonex.

Is there any reason for any of us to stick around after this?
