very strong,headstash for real.

 

[400aZip]

oh yeah. he had a couple rounds of it. both were some of the best tasting and smelling bud I have ever seen. I hope I can make a fraction of something that dank with my 250

It's really good in my experience. Found two different phenos, one more sativa with more lemon scent with a slight diesel, little more airy. It has weak branches and doesn't support itself very well. The Indica pheno has sturdy branches, less fruit smell, more indica buzz but stinks like strait sour diesel. Both phenos are nice in their own way but I decided #2 was my keeper. Are yours clones or from seed sorry I don't remember...

 

[Sr. Verde]

Mine are from seed... It sounds like I have one of the indica phenos and something that resembles the sativa pheno... It started out looking sativa but it still seems like a lot of the Kush traits/smells are coming through it.. It's quite interesting... the smell is very jungle weedy




Anyway...

Day 18 just starting up this morning

Just fed/watered with.... /gal of h2o.

16mL Grow Big
12mL Cal/Mag
2mL Bio-Weed (kelp)

Today was scheduled to be water.. But they needed a little N I think that was lacking in last feeding.. I think they will like it at this time..

 

[400aZip]

I wonder if I have the first phenotype. I was training my main stalk (before i knew to top when scrogging) and it snapped...basically topping the plant. i never really showed stress but I think the yields definitely affected. but it smells like straight diesel. the nugs you just posted, Verde, look like that bud has a high calyx to leaf ratio and my strain doesnt look like it will be like that. but time will tell. its gonna be a good spring for us!

Mine was sativa and extremely sour diesel-ish, and on a whole was pretty thick, even though it stretched like crazy I wouldn't call it lanky per se. I wonder just how many phenos I'd find in my pack... I had some pretty colors on mine as well.

It seems like verde has more indica ones, I honestly expected a bigger stretch on his...

 

[Sr. Verde]

Mine keep on growing.. They were late stretchers! They are like a foot 4 inches at the highest point now from soil... I'm keeping them spread out.

 

[Sr. Verde]

Day 20 flower...

Flowers are starting to form.. Very small but still those calyxes are packing on.. The smell is quite heavenly, and has gone from lasting a few minutes on your hands.. To stinking up your whole arm when you work on them *sniff sniff*..

Resin glands are starting to form on the leaves on the flower sites... I haven't seen that happen this early yet, ever. Honestly this is probably one of the best genetics I've ran so far. Bad genetics and bagseeds before this. Glad I found the attitude!

I can't wait until they start chunking out. They are actually stretching into VERY lanky plants... I've been fighting the canopy to keep it even.. There are a few colas that just want to grow way faster than the others..

The screen is at about 1ft above the soil and it's quite filled out. The plants are where I want them, I think it's time to leave them alone and let them do their thing .


I gave them a little N claw with the last N bump 2 days ago, no burn but some claw.. I will take a note and let them use up whats in the leaves before I start adding too much more to their diet.

 

[Someguy15]

Lookin good. I think most of your stretch should be over, maybe a few more inches is all as the buds develop. Got a pheno that smells like strait diesel in there?

 

[Sr. Verde]

They both smell like really really diesely.. But the overtones are somewhat sweet or hashy, like kush.

Overall they just smell like something different all together, pretty awesome though.

The smell has gotten a little more complex every few weeks.

As for structure: #1 was more compact, and branchy with a little thicker meristem. #2 started a little stronger with more vigorous growth and sweeter smells, as compared to #1. Both of them seem somewhat close in genetics, besides the subtle differences.

 

[C.Indica]

Depends on end product, but that #2 sounds like my typeof lady

 

[Sr. Verde]

Yeah mine too!

It will be interesting to see how they turn out... So far the forecast is looking frosty .

your 1 sounds a lot like mine as does your 2. The 2 yields better and has better taste and bag appeal, did you take any clones b4 flower or any plans to keep the genetics around?

 

[Sr. Verde]

I've got 4 more beans so I'm going to run this strain again sometime but no I didn't take any clones..

So far it's looking like 1 may yield more than 2, but 2 will be close and more frosty/sweet smelling.

So I agree with you.

Here is a shot from today, day 21 flower... Finally a photo in the middle of their light cycle..

--grow notes--
The tops are slowly morphing into small colas now ... These Headbands were fast to show pistils, yet very slow to pack them on so far... I'm hoping the flower production kicks up a few notches in the coming weeks. I heard from someone here that the RP headband really starts chunking out after week six, which is very understandable so far.

A few leaves are clawing pretty bad, but show no signs of burn or damage, so I will just let the plant use whats there and not worry about it.. I will have to feed tomorrow & be careful about the additional N that I add. Interestingly enough, only plant #1 is showing signs of serious N claw, though they are both being fed the same thing... Again, no burn. This leads me to believe that either the #2 is using more nutrients, or it has a higher tolerance to N.

They're still stretching about a half inch to an inch a day.. I woke up and they were an inch taller than yesterday.. So we will see how they come in. I am glad that I flowered at the height I did (6.5inches), these things stretched just like upthearesenal told me they would in flower.
--end notes--

 

[upthearsenal]

Damn I can tell they've stretched a lot, I almost thought they weren't going to as much. Its nice though it looks like you got the timing spot on, that's a beautiful scrog.

How far is the light from the canopy?

 

[Sr. Verde]

Thanks! You should see underneath!

Ive been pulling the branches down every once in a while to even things out.. That just ended up making the canopy shorter and wider at the same time.. The meristem is like 2-2.5ft long at least on each. though they are about 1ft 4 inches from the dirt. I will definitly be clipping flowers and keeping the skeleton for some photos..

The 250w Super HPS is 7-9 inches from the canopy... You might see it pretty high in some photos but it's because I raise it to get in for maintenance on the plants. I can't even work on the branches at the back or the sides anymore... i have to reach under and around the plant to get to the back .
