Larry OG vs. Tahoe OG in Dual Monster Plant System (2nd Scrog)

[lordjin]

that larry looks frosty, gotta love premature buds. i used to let the bottom branches run for about 7 weeks, chop them and put them in a paper bag above my modem, by morning they were pretty smokable.

damn, im going to little ceasars pizza sounds dank right now. thanks jin! haha

Yes. The premies are fun to toy with. I'm tempted to take the top buds down first and let the rest of the bottom buds keep growing.

 

[lordjin]

Thanks all - I feel better! And LJ - I just licked the screen

Cheers,
Mo

Remember to wipe the screen afterwards! Lol.

I think the fact that a seed plant is showing that 'alternating' node structure so early is fascinating. It's growing like a clone. What a strain you got there.

 

[Mohican]

LJ - Those crystals are so crunchy looking! And the pictures look so good I just keep licking the screen hoping to get a taste! I think the Larry is doing great considering it has totally different requirements from the Tahoe. The fact that you can grow two different strains this well from such differently growing clones is a true testiment to your growing know-how or should we call it your grow-how, and how!

My girl is wilty again (always late at night) - so I do not think it is the sprinklers. I turned the fan up from low to medium earlier so I set it back to low to see if that helps. Res change tomorrow - I couldn't get to it tonight.

Cheers,
Mo

How much water are your ladies drinking each day?

ive done this, but some people tell me some strains will fatten up with extra days but not every strain does. i would expect it to work out good either way, the highest point thats closest to the light gets most of the nutrients since the plant wants it to get closer and closer for more lumens, giving the bottom branches an extra week to produce would likely result positively, possibly a slight increase in yield. if it were my room id have it at 60 degrees for the last week, since theres not too much growth in the last week(my def of the last week would be some leaves yellowing as well as trich color ratio, id say i like 60% amber) i would want them to resin up a bit so they can get a that nice purple hue and get a nice stickiness to them. people will argue about putting them in low temps but when a plant experiences some sort of environmental stress it does put out a defensive resin, ive heard of people adding pests for the last day for the extra stress and resin output but i dont agree with this since youd then have mites in your bud, but plenty of commercial growers sell mite infested weed all the time.

but back to the subject, i havent done this method in a while, i try to make all bud spots about equal height and distance from light if i can.

How much water are your ladies drinking each day?

They were drinking almost a gallon a day at peak feed (first three weeks of stretch) but have slowed down somewhat. Maybe one of those smaller milk cartons a day? That's just a very rough guess, tho.

Hey, I don't think I've dedicated anything to you yet, so here's another update just for you, Mo.

We've been so focused on the underdog Larry, let's just take a gratuitous look at the queen.

I told Anton about all your screen licking, and he said I should just give you 3.5 grams for adopting those cats.

He does have a good point. But then again, he dips into these leaves quite a bit, so it could just be that he's high.

He does have some sway with me, though.

Well? Which nug do you want? I'm sure you won't mind a tiny cat hair here or there. Lol.

Oh, and if you see a droop / perk pattern, don't worry. It's just the way plants behave growing in nothing but water. Your plant looks fine.

That's totally right about the uppermost portion of the plant getting hit with the most nute. The top fan leaves are burnt the worst while a good portion of lower leaves aren't burnt at all.

You're getting my mind racing with talk of late low temps, purps, and stickiness. But now that I look at it, the nugs are maturing pretty good all the way down to screen level, so it might not be necessary.

Edit:
I think it isn't difficult to tell that Tahoe is maturing faster.

I figure I'll let Larry go just until Tahoe becomes LETHAL and I'll harvest... However long that takes. Clear to see which is gonna be my 'up weed' and which is gonna be Thor's Hammer. Hey, there's a good name: Mjolnir OG Kush. Yes, I am a nerd -- (don't tell 'em it's really Tahoe grown in a metal suction cabinet).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mjölnir simply means "crusher", referring to its pulverizing effect. Mjölnir might be related to the Russian word молния (molniya) and the Welsh word mellt (both words being translated as "lightning"). This second theory parallels with the idea that Thor, being a god of thunder, therefore might have used lightning as his weapon.[SUP][2][/SUP] It is related to words such as the Icelandic verbs mölva ("to crush") and mala ("to grind"), and Swedish noun mjöl ("flour"), all related to English meal, mill, and miler. Similar words, all stemming from the Proto-Indo-European root *melə, can be found in almost all European languages, e.g. the Slavic melevo ("grain to be ground") and molot ("hammer"), the Greek μύλος (mylos—"mill"), and the Latin malleus "hammer", from which English mallet derives.

"Never trust a man with only one God."
I think one of the characters from that movie, Valhalla Rising, says something like that. So true...

Shit, speaking of which... I think my Valhalla Rising review got wiped out in the hack. Pity. It was so insightful.

Jorge Cervantes, by the way, is a huge fan of this film.

Remember when you were a kid? Remember those kids' magazines you used to read? Remember those puzzle sections where you had to guess the object in a macro photo?

 

[lordjin]

I'm obsessed. I can't stop taking pictures.

Awwww... remember this? Isn't it cute?

They're catching the flash different as they ripen. Trippy.

 

[flowamasta]

lookin sweet as jin, can you convince me to get off my ass to do an update?? i'm soo bent right now i can't believe it.

yeah, the frost makes a difference to the cam hey! i found that i couldn't focus properly without all the trichs on the nugs!! you have a jungle there, looking fatter than the last batch

Yes, I'm an android. I require no sleep but just a battery recharge.

You WILL do an update... here and in your own thread.

 

[flowamasta]

okay, you got me in there and the camera was on my side again let me know what you really think man, have i really got a winner here? or is my camera just makin it look better ?? u be the judge, and your ridiculous amount of views!!! thanx jin

day 44 FlowaMasta please enjoy my colorful garden

Alright. I'll smoke another bowl and turn in. But before I do, I'd like to say that that is pretty interesting. The grow is as unique as the grower... or something like that.

Now I'm seeing some darker hues happening on the sugar leaves poking out of the calyx areas. Is that late purps or a trick of the light you think?

Edit:
Oh, and it looks like your mentor was right. That looks pretty much like a sensimilla plant.

Edit 2:
You know what your amazing trichome camera says, right? You got a ways to go, bud.

you're tellin me, i've seen alot of grows in my time, but nothing like what i'm seeing in my tent. it just looks plain weird, the buds habe lost their pointy shape and have exploded into this star shape on every cola, really weird...effects off the UVB perhaps??

as for the darker hues the light play trichs( get it hehe ) , aswell as i adjust the colour scheme aswell as contrast, for some reason on this shutter speed it picks up the UV light dramatically...and adding saturation helps with colours, but that is a setting on my camera, adding saturation afetr editing doesn't give the same effect

so when you say i got a ways to go, u think i got a while yet?? i'm still leaning too and love the opinions. i was thinkin of picking in 7 days, to put my new clone in, hoping that it wont be too early, it doesn't look early though does it?? i mean in a few days the hairs will brown up, but i dont see amber trichs yet, and i have looked very thoroughly...

 

[^Slanty]

I don't know about Jin, but I still see a LOT of clear trichs yet. It is early and I am beyond cooked atm though, so maybe I am not seeing "clearly".

 

[crazyhazey]

the low temps help out if youve got the time and money, the extra resins weight as well if you think about it. purp really gets peoples attention too.
and if youve got tip burn toward the tops you can just harvest them first then run em but if you a do all your clipping at one time you can just bend them over and let the lower branches be closest to the light.

oh and slanty, look closer i saw some amber trichs if im not mistaken.

 

[^Slanty]

IDK, I looked again at the one closeup macro shot and do not see anything resembling amber. I see about 25-30% clear/70-75% cloudy. He is getting close, but has a good week to go imo.

As for the dropping temps thing. I normally only run my filter at night in the bud area for most of the cycle, but have now left my intake going for the last week during the flower cycle and my one entire plant is turning major purple! It definitely has seemed to help the transition progress quicker. Should be chopping next weekend I figure.

 

[Mohican]

Hey Flow - That type of growth is called "foxtailing" and it happens when the flowers get too much light or nutes from what I can find in my quick research. Look up foxtailing on Google or search on RIU. I think it looks great and I know LJ saw some of this on his Diablo grow so we will see what he has to say about it.
Cheers,
Mo

Hi, Mo and friends! It's past noon and I just got out of bed! I'll try to comment intelligibly in a moment. Let me wash up. BRB.

good point, i cant see the milky trichs too well. all depends, more milky hair means a better body high right? and amber means head high if im not mistaken. all depends when people think they're ripe, theres plenty of people out there that run them until all the leaves yellow.
and its great watching them turn purple/blue/white hues, when you grow outdoors in late september down here it always gets purple.
