It's finally nice enough weather for me to chop without as much worry about mold or bud rot. They appear to have had some swelling to do yet as they have put on some more size in the last week I think. I have to say that after getting everything cut and a good look at it all, I am very impressed with the mainline results. I may have to revise my original estimate of 2.5-3.5oz. May be up near 4-4.5oz. Not quite the 6.75oz my scrog yielded but I could possibly improve on these results with some more ideal conditions and experience now under my belt.
The mainline girls were definitely easier trimming than my scrog due to the lesser number of colas. All the tops are very dense and heavy and I will have to keep a close eye on them as they dry. Sorry for the less than perfect pics, harvest is always a bit stressful as it tends to really get the smell going so I try to get them chopped and back in the filtered box as quickly as possible.
First to get trimmed were the clones. These were just rooted clones that were put in 12/12 at about 3-5" high. Each stretched more than they would probably would have if they had been run in a true SoG as they had to battle the mainlines during stretch.
In order- B. Russian, NL x Skunk, Maz x GWS, Group shot of trimmed tops (Tray is a 13x9" roasting pan for perspective)
Black Russian started off really slow and didn't start to fatten up till around week 6. She really came on at the end though and thickened up quite a bit. Her smell is just wonderful, sweet and sour, very mouthwatering.
NL x Skunk is so dank smelling. She almost has a garlic hint to her, very strange. Her smell is not unpleasant, but it is not altogether pleasant either. That rotten fruit, sometimes nauseating aroma that is somehow still appealing to the senses. Anyone who has smoke cannabis knows what I am talking about. Her top colas are fat and dense, very resinous and sticky.
Maz x GWS has the smell of the shark for sure, very sweet with a back hint of menthol and dank. Her arms were not as long as the other 2 but she is very well developed. Her buds are the most dense of the 3 and she is very frosty.
Group shot of all the mainline heads and everyone hanging around.
Harvesting is hard work! I'm off to bed, Peace.
once it's stabilised bro, I'll send you some beans to try out
