I was fighting high humidity and heat, so by covering the SIPs the dehumidifiers run less and also helps the room stay cooler. I will likely uncover them once the colder weather gets here. I have well water.

I’ve been home a few days now. For those that don’t know I had to leave for a couple weeks. The Malawi was a mess when I got home. I had driven it too hard with nutes and light before I left, this is her when I got home.
I was surprised at how well developed some of the buds were, but it was at 14 weeks. I got about 40 seeds from the 2 buds I seeded. Here’s a couple buds, and I had chopped the bigger ones before this.
the Puck was finished and nice as expected. I harvested the rest, it’s in the other koolatron. The first round I harvested is exceptionally good! I hope this is better.
The Golden Tiger is just getting by, it won’t last too long, but it’s getting close. The seeds look good already, I can’t wait to try the bud, I hope I can keep it alive long enough. It’s getting a strong pine citrus scent and quite sticky.

Yeah it happens, I had someone watering but that was it. The high on the Malawi is really nice even though harvested early. It should be better after a good cure. Now I have to figure out if I want to run them again or give some new genetics a go. I have PBB, BOO, MAC 1 and PNWHP ready to go as well. Oh, and Wagyu Donutz, I won those so gotta do a grow, right.Thats a shame that happened bud , at least theres something to toke on

It’s a Terp Farmz hybrid (GSC x Sunset Sherbet) X (Motorbreath x Gelato 410) x Donutz. Looks interesting, here’s a link. The colors are crazy, I’m not sure it actually puts those colors out or not.Time to invest in automating the watering
Im addicted to automation
If i can automate it and give myself more ""free time"" im in
Wagyu Donutz sounds interesting ,whats the info on that one?

Ok, so not what I thought I was going to do, but I read a few things a while back that got me thinking. Many sativa are more potent if flowering starts when they are at least 70 days old, one way is cloning them and then growing them out. I have clones of both the Malawi and golden tiger, and I am really liking the Malawi even though it was a bit early and it hasn’t cured. I have been smoking it over the Dosidos and Puck this weekend. The golden tiger is still getting fuller.
Here is a new GT, both the clones were monster cropped early in flower and revegged. They were not looking great after my trip west, but they are still healthy. I’ve been trying to tame them a bit more this time, and today is day one of 12/12.
They both got planted into the sips today, straight into flower. I added several handfuls of plant tone, a handful of azomite, of glacial rock, some shrimp and crab meal I made, and probably something else. I stirred it all up, let it sit a day or two, it seemed a bit heavy so I added some more perlite, and added the plants today. Here’s the Malawi

The golden tiger is still kicking, here she is at week 15 of flower. I think she has at least 3 weeks to go if not more, but the hairs are starting to orange up, and she’s building frost fast. She’s got a fruity spicy smell that is very nice, and is starting to get sticky, so I’m hopeful I can keep her healthy enough to cruise through the next couple weeks at least.
A couple GT bud shots
This is the new GT looking better, they were looking a bit sad and neglected before transplanting, but the new growth is coming in looking good. They are already at 12/12 starting week 2 now, hopefully this will allow me to keep them a bit smaller this round.

It’s been a few weeks and time for an update. The big Golden Tiger is at 18 weeks of flower tomorrow, and while she didn’t look good after I came home from Being gone for two weeks, she’s still packing on weight and even throwing new white pistils.
Here’s a closeup bud pic, you can see the frost building and the calyxes swelling finally, the hairs that did turn red have been all but swallowed up and are being replaced with new white ones. I’ll wait another week or two to see what happens, only about half the buds have started swelling visibly. I’d take a pic of one of the top colas, but it’s too high and so am I.
Here’s her little twin sister, now just short of 4 weeks into flower. I started her flowering much sooner as far as height, the one above filled the first screen, which was about a foot higher than this one, before flipping. Hopefully this one will be more manageable.
Here’s the same GT from above.
Here’s the new Malawi, again turning into a beast fast. I really want to finish one of these right, which is why I’m running these again. This one was started flowering much sooner, we’ll see how it goes.
Here’s a view of one of the buds tied down this time, she seems to be maturing much faster this time. I think the length of time in veg has something to do with it, including the fact that these are clones this time so more mature when flipped. The cooler temps may have something to do with it as well.

Thank you, she’s in the koolatrons now. I hope she smokes beautifully as well. Time will tell, patience is definitely required with these, they not only take longer to grow but the cure as well.

It’s been 8 weeks since flip for the Malawi and Golden Tiger, they are both behaving themselves much better this round. The stretch was way less dramatic, I am going to have to play with these more another round, but i will probably not run them again right away with everything I have lined up. Here’s the Malawi
The buds are bulking and frosting up faster, and the smell and sticky is more pronounced this run.
Here’s the GT
I decided to start some seeds for the next run, by the time they are ready to flower the other girls should be finishing up. Next run will be Bag of Oranges, Peanut Butter Breath, Wagyu Donuts and PNWHP.

The Malawi and GT are at 9 weeks from flip, so at least the half way point and still looking good. I have yet to add any nutes since planting into the SIP, these ladies definitely don’t want to be fed much. The lights have also been down compared to last run, and temps as well. Running the lights at 800-900 ppfd at the top of the canopy, keeping temps 78°-81°f and rh at about 35-40%. Rh is low I know, but it’s winter and not budging, and I’m not seeing serious issues so rolling with it for now. Here’s the Malawi, she’s really bulking up this run without the stretch, which is a welcome change.
Here is a better view of just how the colas are looking
Here’s a closeup of one just to see how much frostier they are this round. The smell is a spicy citrus and a bit earthy, although I’m not very good at describing scents.
The Golden Tiger is also doing well and not stretching anywhere near as much as last run, in fact it’s almost like she’s a completely different plant. If I didn’t clone her myself I would assume it was a different pheno at least. My grow conditions are just different enough between summer and winter it’s impossible to point to just one cause, but it’s down to light intensity, heat, rh and sexual maturity, or a combination of all the above.
Like the Malawi, she is bulking up and frosting faster as well. Here’s a bud shot.

9 weeks halfway? Woah!
Hook Daddy

Well, I hope with the fast growth for the GT 9 weeks is half way, but she can go 20+. The Malawi will most likely finish up around 16 weeks. And yea, they can and will test your patience. Next round are some nice indica and hybrids for just that reason. I’m looking to do some crosses, but want to start with at least some heirloom and landrace stock. I also have Afghan 90 and X18 cider kush, as well as Burmese and Zamal to test out from RSC. I figure I’ll try crossing whatever sativa I favor with either Puck, cider kush, the Afghan or PNWHP and see where it leads. First I need to grow them out successfully and decide what I want to work with.

Is the long flower time worth it? Are they unique enough to work them that long. How is consumption? Comparable or different?

I like the effects, a more clear headed buzz imo. I think they are worth it, certainly not the only thing I grow, but good to have on hand when the mood fits. I grew up in SoCal and started smoking in the late 70s, so they bring back good memories of Mexican and haze.
