Weird that's too coincidental to just be random. Have you started flowering yet? You can see it in the second pic I just uploaded, there's very little bud on the top but it has quite a bit underneath. I have no idea how much is on the other one since it's in a spot that's difficult to access.Just catching up on your journal, looks great! I currently have a plant with a stalk that is flat like two fused together, oddly enough its Barney's 8 Ball Kush.
absolutely, I'd love to see it.Yea they are flowering, on day 28 today. I am just getting ready to go feed them. If its cool with you I will post a picture here in a bit?
Yup that looks exactly like mine. I didn't have the colour variation like you have in your leaves. The four bud sites at each node are growing normally for me so it's not a total loss. Do you think the top bud will be good for making edibles or bubble hash? I think it has too many leaves and would taste terrible if smoked.Sorry that took so long, opened the tent and got involved in doing some things that needed to be done. Also I played hell trying to get a picture of the stem itself.

This is also the only plant that throws out the weird yellow leafs, only in certain spots too.
Oh I see. I have done the paper bag method once with killer results and last time shitty results. How are you going to do the paper bags? Fill them up and how often do you open them? I did an awesome job once with big fat buds and last time with the smaller buds they dried out to fast. Some say to close the paper bags and not open for a week. Others say to air them out for a bit everyday. What are you going to do? When I did it for my big ass buds I didn’t open up for several days but noticed a little bud rot and mold on the biggest thickest buds. But overall it was hella successful and So damn good that I had my dealer begging for every last trichome to sell to his drooling pack of stoner wolves. That was when I was peaking as a grower. It’s been down hill since then. But I’m looking to possibly gain some momentum and head back up to being a top performer again . Thank you for your help and inspiration!Thanks, can't wait to sample it. I'm going to use @Thundercat 's paper bag drying method. I bought a bunch of paper bags and I'll move the buds to that in a week or so. I've never really had amazing tasting weed.
I got the rack on Amazon. This one was Opulent Systems https://shorturl.at/jrHSU , but there's a dozen other Chinese companies selling them. I'm not really a fan of this one. The zippers are a PITA and it's hard to just grab a handful and pull it out through the small opening. @DustyDuke pointed out that my rack was too small so I ordered a new one that doesn't have such high sides and it's eight trays instead of four https://shorturl.at/bkvMW.
I also suggest playing with different trimming and drying techniques. I've tried a bunch of experiments over the years to get me to what works best for me. I find wet trimming way easier, but usually dry trimming gives me a much better flavor. Which created my happy medium of removing all the leaves with visible stems(only leaving the sugary bud leaves) and usually I break down the branches into manageable buds and then dry on a screen in an area with air flow, but not air blowing on the buds. Usually it takes 6-8 days for the buds to feel "crispy" on the outside, but I can tell they are still damp inside. I take them and put them into a brown paper bag and give it a little shake, and then let them sit till the next day when I open the bag stir them around and check on them, and then close it up again. Usually within about 2-3 days the buds are perfectly dried and have balanced humidty so they smoke great and taste awesome. At this point they are ready for jars or bags for storage. I've NEVER had mold in a jar.
