Mandala Seeds - Satori Grow

[GoodFriend]

Found hermies in the garden! Fuck it!! I'm so dissapointed.

It's Day 58 flowering today and I was getting excited about harvest. Now I'm just wondering how many seeds I'm gonna find!! I was looking for the source of the pollen and soon found it.....and in the process covered one of my flowering clones in the stuff. Double fuck it!! Now I'm really pissed!!.

So my plan is to let my 3 main girls finish (producing fucking seeds!!) a bit more and then I'll chop them at the end of the week. I would of left them another week, but I need the smoke really badly and I want to start a fresh now. My flowering clones are going in the bin as they must of been pollinated for sure, especailly after I helped them along. Flowering space needs a v good clean before I put anything else into flower.

I'll post updates after I harvest and let you know how bad the seed count is.

shitty deal


just one plant?

genetics or stress?

whatcha thinik?

Yeah, very shitty. I think just one plant and I think genetics. It was my #5 that I found the pollen sack on and this was always my runt. I did think about killing it v early on, now I really wish I had!

I'll be chopping them all down today so I'll know the extent of the damage and whether I had any more hermies. If all looks ok on #3 and #4 when I chop them, then I've got some clones of these two, dieing to be flowered, so I'll give my room a good clean and get them into flower this weekend. I also have a very nice Hashberry girl in veg that will also go into flower.

I'll keep you all posted on events over the weekend. I know for sure I've got some good bud to smoke, I'm just very dissapointed that it's not as good as it could/should be. But this is how we learn!

I'd have to agree that it's shotty genetics. How good your plants look SnowWhite I can't imagine any stress in that growroom, plants look great!.

Snow, sorry to hear about the hermie mucking up the works. I am sure you will be well satisfied with the bud in any case. Won't those seeds, if any, be feminized? Could you not save them and grow more without paying for more seed. FDD would probably be the one to ask here but just an idea.

Be sure and give us plenty of harvest pictures and yield reports in the coming days!

sounds like bad genetics,thats a shitload of time to have this happen,scarry stuff those hermies

Hey all,

An update from Spain.....I'm here all week with work!

Thanks for all the comments guys, but don't feel too bad for me and my hermie problem. I still cut down some very nice buds and seeds seem to have only been produced on a few lower buds. Most of the buds seem to be totally seed free.

So, I harvested all my plants last Friday. About a week too soon for my liking, but given the pollination from hermies, I just wanted to cut them down and start a fresh ASAP...plus I need the smoke so bad now. Looks like I actually had 2 hermies. Found burst pollen sacks on 2 of my plants when I harvested them. So maybe it was environmental stress that caused my plants to produce balls. But I can't imagine what. I guess the leaf spot didn't help, plus I had a few cold nights before I got my heater timer and temps properly dialed in for the colder nights.

Whether environmental or genetic, I've decided I couldn't risk any hermies in the garden again, so I killed ALL my Satori clones. Very sad about!

I've got one female Hashberry that has been vegging for ever. This has now gone into my flowering space and I really hope I have good solid female genetics in this one. I'll be keeping a very close eye on her.

My harvested buds are drying this week while I'm away and I will start the curing process on Friday when I am back in the UK. I'll post some pics for you then.

For my next grow...I've just ordered some Jack Herer seeds from Sensi Seeds. I just had to do it....it's my favourite strain when I'm over in Holland and I always planned to grow it one day. That day is now!! I'm very excited about it!!

Looking forward to the pictures and report when you get back. What was the total days in flower then? Enjoy Spain, awesome food there.

60 days flower in total. But I know they had some more to give. Maybe they would of been properly finished at 60 days if some of the plants energy was not concentrating on making seeds. Mandala recommend 65-70 days for Satori, so I wasn't far off though.

Yep, food in Spain is v good....and so so cheap!!

I'm home tomorrow and I can't wait to check on my buds and have a smoke. Not had a smoke all week so it will be a good opportunity for a smoke test. I reckon it's gonna blow my head off. It's the thing I hate about travelling aborad with work, no fuckin' weed!! Except when I get to go Holland, that's always a pleasure!!

I just spoke to my mrs on the phone and my Jack Herer seeds turned up this morning So I'll be starting them off next week! Happy fucking days!!!

Snow..... looking forward to following the Hashberry and now the Jack H. Safe travels home and I look forward to your smoke report.... why not have the Mrs. trial it for you while you are gone?

 

[jonnyblaze24]

LOL...Id be pissed if my girl did that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats like opening christmas presents up when the person who gave it to you isnt there. Not cool. Id blaze her up when I got home of course.

Nah man, sadly the mrs doesn't smoke anymore. She gets random drug tests at work, so can't really risk it.

She would be welcome to it if she still smoked though. She's my girl, what's mine is hers, you know. But as she doesn't smoke....all the more for me.....hehehehehe!

I feel the same way Snow, my girl gets whatever she wants..... we are both much happier that way.

I am @ day 43 with my satori's and no hermi's yet! I am crossing my fingers and watching carefully on this one. Do you have any idea when your plants started pushing out pollen? I have 6 moms going, so I really hope your experience was a isolated event...

 

[SnowWhite]

hey chris...sounds like your're rolling along nicely mate. I don't really know exactly when mine turned I'm afraid, I would of said my by day 43 though for sure. My problem was I did not watch mine closely enough, mostly cos I away lots, but it sounds like you have that one covered so you should be fine man. I'm so sick of picking seeds out of my weed man.

But I have a single hashberry flowering now about 2 weeks away from being done and thankfully there are no seeds in her buds I just can't wait till she's ready!

Good luck with the rest of your grow anyway mate!

Thanks for the reply mate, Yeah no sign yet of any pollen pods! I hope they don't go bad, because they are going to be monsters if they can go the full duration...I think they will give the snow cap some competition in my garden... How is the smoke?

 

[jbreeze]

no bud pics??

 

[daddychrisg]

I will be posting pics of my 3 Satori's soon...No sign of pollen pods! 54 days of flower..

 

[SnowWhite]

Hey Jbreeze....sorry man....this grow went to shit....or seed I should say. My buds were pretty crappy and nothing much to look at, so I didn't post any pics. I didn't even bother taking any. Just wanted to put this grow behind me and move on.

Glad all is going well for you Chris mate.

I never got back to you on the smoke report did I, well mate, you won't be dissapointed! Mine were chopped early and seeded, but the high and the taste were spot on. Except when I missed a seed and smoked it! YUK!!!

 

[daddychrisg]

The Satori's are the three in the back....They are very different from each other in size, but the structure is the same....I thought the tallest one was going to be just a stretched out mess, but it filled in and is now the Monster of the three! I think I will grow the Mid sized one in the future, due to its symmetry, it will be easy to trim, and I think I can get 12 plants in a square meter @ 3" height. Sorry for the lack of quality in the pics, I just could not help myself, and had to post what I had!

 

[TheSkyIsPurple...Haze]

I've grow satori's before and i'm still growing them now but mine always seem to go tall and thin how did you get yours to stay short and with loads of leaves?
