Poice!

So the dude at the shop told me OG Reserve is better than the Supreme OG Kush. Well I'm not so sure because I smoked a few bowls of the Supreme last night and I'm still high. Was really high when I woke up this morning, so much so, I didn't even wake and bake. It felt really great, my body felt all tingly on my way to work.

There was some Ice I grew once that I will never forget. As far as the euphoria factor, this Ice I grew would have been great for depression. Smoking it made you feel unbelievably happy, but when it comes to that 'next morning I'm still high' feeling, nothing beats OGK.

If a plant is genetically inclined to develop long colas (donkey cox), yes, you'll see that stacking formation by mid-flower. It's just doing it a bit faster in my current grow because this is my best grow yet, where I have all the factors pumping at optimal or near optimal levels. But please be aware that not all plants are genetically inclined to grow donkey dicks. For example, the Platinum OG from my last grow (which had strong sativa characteristics) didn't donkey dick as much because they had a stretchier structure with more space between the nodes. It's all about node spacing on the stalks. If the plant genetically has pretty tight nodes, they will stop stretching early and the continued chunking will fill up those gaps creating that donkey dick effect.

You'll have to remind me what strain you're growing so I can research it and give you an idea of the kind of bud structure to expect.

I think that might be really good news for me, because the nodes on my plant have always formed really tightly together, with hardly any space in between them at first (although they do stretch apart as the plant grows).

I'm growing a strain called "LSD", which is supposed to be mostly Indica. And it's a cross between Mazar & Skunk #1. Here's a link to its description:

It's been growing about twice as wide as it is tall. Just switched to flowering last Saturday and it's starting to stink like skunk... and I LOVE it!

Looking mighty tasty!

Minus the idea of them being like donkey dicks of course... not my bag, baby! Noooooo.....

Though there is some variance in length of life cycle among different strains, I think the number most growers have in mind concerning a flowering period is anywhere between 8-10 weeks. The description label on the pots of these clones says 9-10 weeks (It's also generally known that OG Kush strains take a bit longer than others to mature), but at the rate they've been going, I'm not going to cling to the label's estimate.

Though there is the strain's prescribed flowering period to consider, I tend to rely more on the visual indicators of the buds. I harvest when all the hairs have turned orange/brown, the trichs have a good sprinkling of amber, and the buds are so fat, they're shouting, "Please...no more. I can't take another bite." It usually takes right around 8-9 weeks for the buds to get to this state.

That's great info that I'll keep in mind. Thanks a lot. Mine's supposed to flower for about 9 weeks, but I'll rely on the visual appearance like you do.

(I just realized how long I have to wait to get some smokable bud from my plant. Was planning to go without toking until my buds were cured, but sheez! 3 months? No fuckin way! Wish I lived in California...
At least growing is an awesomely fun hobby.)

LOL! I think I need to come up with another phrase for the ladies? How about popsicles? LOL.

Oh, yeah. I read the strain description. LSD, huh? You picked an excellent indoor strain, mister. Yah, yer not gonna have to worry about out of control stretch in early flower. And yes, that is definitely a strain that is capable of dense, towering colas.

OOOOOh... three months without getting the high on? Stop talking like that. You're scaring me.

ROFL I struggle to imagine donkey dicks being tasty, no matter what the application. Sorry, might be a ewwie girl thing

Popsicles could work.... Those orange and red marbled ones I had as a kid were awesome! And they were huge! Ahh the good old days... *wants a popsicle now*

When I was a kid those orange and red popsicles were called "Big Sticks." I guess that's an appropriate name for large colas as well.

Just a pic update tonight. Don't feel like typing that much. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Calyx formation is excellent. They're developing the bulbous teardrop shape rapidly. I caught a sign of the first hairs drying. The color is a brilliant orange. Loving this strain so far. Another experienced grower warned me about the possibility of herm right around this time. I see no balls. So far so good.


EDIT: Oh, and how could I forget this one?

EDIT AGAIN:
Okay. I feel like typing again. I know a lot of people in their journals say things like "You wouldn't believe the smell" or "It smells amazing" or something like that, yeah? Well let me tell y'all. This is my seventh grow, and although I made a lot of mistakes throughout those grows, I never really fucked any of them up... just learned each time and made my system better. So I can say with fair confidence that I've smelled many awe-inspiring, dream-capturing smells... But this one, ladies and gentlemen, of the ices, the og kushes, the fruity kush crosses, these here Diablo plants are making the heaviest stink I've ever experienced. The odor just hangs there in the morning as the plants sit in their dark period... I swear, it's so strong you can almost taste it in your mouth. I have a very large carbon scrubber that I vent the heat in the light to, btw. The plants laugh at this thing... but if there was no carbon scrubber, my upstairs neighbors would probably smell it, and that would be bad.

Side note: I've noticed a very interesting trait that all kush strains have in common. I've noticed that the swollen calyxes of all OG plants exhibit striped indentations. It's very faint, but all OG's have them. If you're growing an OG Kush, look for that. If it doesn't have them, someone has some splanin' to do. CORRECTION: Upon closer examination of my own photos (duh) the calyxes of the buds have more like faint striped ridges, not really indentations. But it's kind of hard to describe. You can clearly make out these striped patters on all OG's and Master Kush strains as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the Afghan origins of the pheno that eventually became OG Kush? Or do the OG Kush strains have less to do with Afghan origins than I'm thinking? This can get really confusing...

Anxious to see those donkey dicks fill in. Gonna be some big buds!!

You and me both, baby.

Wow! The twins are looking gorgeous! What pretty little monsters they've become! I can almost smell them through my screen! mmmmmmm

Thanks! Now every time I start typing the words Donkey Dick, I think, "Oh no, I'd better not. Snickerdoodle won't like it." Lol

haha!

You can't deny my logic though. Donkey dicks do not equal yum! There's got to be something more..... appealing that you could call them

Even just taking out the word Donkey would make it better at least for me anyways >.>

Spoken like a true grower.

Ghost cut og from a prior grow.

This was a fine, fine smoke. I recall taking a huge bong load as soon as the buds dried. I jarred it for curing, but you can't blame me for taking a hit early. The early smoke was incredibly energetic. I went out for a morning walk and it was rainy and windy out. Y'know those bolts of energy you get through your body? It was like riding a roller coaster standing still.

Ah, fond memories of grows past.

Looks like some sick ass dank! Great job!
