Well, I have yet to find any nanners on Plant #2 (Querkle dom) or Plant #4 (seems like Cheese with some Space Dude showing through). I've got potential mommas of both, so we shall see!

Gotta love the fade... I think the damage from that little nanner spurt was pretty minimal. 
I've only found one or two nanners since, and they seem to be plumping up nice.
Thinking just another day or two until chop.

Thanks, Subbie! Thinking I'll take them to 20-30% amber for a nice balance.

Good luck, man. Hoping for seed-free harvests for all of us. Soooo close... These last few days are always tough....

Still not much amber showing... Also plucked a couple more nanners that sprouted from Plant #3....
Looks like I've still got a couple more days.

Day 64 and counting...
It's looking like this evening might be chop time for Plant #1 (back left in the group shot above). It's the tallest, frostiest, cheesiest, and most purple of the bunch, but the buds are smallest. I won't be keeping this pheno because I'm not fond of the bud size/structure or herm tendencies, but it looks like it'll be some great smoke. It was the first one to throw nanners, and is now the first one to finish.
I'll snap some pics this evening after work.

It's a 4'x4' by 6.5' tall cabinet that I built out of 2x4's, plywood, etc.
Fake out on the harvest this evening... I'm gonna give them a couple more days. The amber is taking its sweet time.

Plants went in for 48 hours of darkness yesterday, and tomorrow will be chop time. Total flower time will be 67 days. I imagine that deficiency/lockout in mid flower was what set them back a little.
I imagine there will be some seeds at various stages of maturation, but I'm trying not to worry about it too much. I do more vaporizing than smoking these days, and it's easy to remove a couple seeds when you grind up the herbs for vaping.

If you're liking what you see in this thread, tune in for my next round.
Coming soon: "SpicySativa's XJ-13 in Subcool's Super Soil"
My XJ-13 clones have been vegging along in 2-gal smart pots of Roots soil in the T5 cabinet. They are up to about 10-11 inches tall with 8 heads each, and are more than ready to be transplanted and move into their new home. I did kindof a sloppy, makeshift main-line/LST hybrid this round. It went OK, but not all of the branches are developing evenly. Nothing that can't be helped by a little super cropping and LST. Also, I'm discovering that XJ is much happier when vegged under HID light (they are a bit spindly under the T5).
Live and learn....

Spicy I can profess from 1st hand experience that finding seeds in your crop isn't the end of the world (although its a terrible let down at first). At harvest time I simply squeezed em all out and pulled off the seed casing from the bud, and let them cure and they tasted/smoked just fine. Especially if you vape!
Bravo on your grow and looking forward to your harvest. My CQ is about 1 week from the chop.

Yeah, a couple of my Pandoras Box from last round are full of little white premie seeds. They are a pain because they just crumble and flake apart when you grind or try to remove them. Hoping that's not the case with these Cheese Quakes... Guess I'll know tomorrow.

Chop chop time this evening! 67 days total. I've had them in the dark for about 48 hours, and they are ripe and stanky.Stat tuned for some pictures later.

What's up Nerds?
I harvested all 4 Cheese Quakes last night after about 48+ hours in the dark. They were ripe, stanky, sticky, and beautiful. As you can see, I like to leave quite a bit of sugar leaf on the buds to slow down the drying time. If I were planning for more hash, I would have trimmed closer and frozen all the trim. I did set aside a little baggie of larf to do a run of bubble hash, but it'll be a small batch.
I'm STOKED to say that during this initial trim I didn't find a single seed! And... thanks to the main-lining and undercarriage prune I have VERY little larf! There may still be some immature seeds in there somewhere, but it looks to be pretty minimal.
Yield wise, it's too early for me to hazard a guess, but I'm happy with it. I'll be burning Cheese Quake until long after my next harvest.
Here are a couple pics for you. I didn't take that many, and you'll have to wait until they are dry and finished being trimmed for some close ups.
