Hi all, brief intro : I’m fairly new here and this is my first post.
I have a few years experience growing but love to continue learning about these amazing plants, both what they need and what they give.
As the title says, I’m not talking about pre-flowers, autoflowers, or your everyday pistils showing themselves during veg. I have a strain that literally starts budding during veg cycle (18/6 - “daylight” fluorescents). There have been no major stress factors during veg, and only this strain (3 different seeds, all behave the same) is showing any unusual growth, in a room with half a dozen other strains.
The mothers started budding a couple months into veg, and I was concerned they might have some autoflower genes but the breeder personally assured me otherwise (I was impressed he answered my email himself). Sure enough, they just kept on growing, but with what looked like 2-3 weeks of flowering buds.
The clones throw 1, 3, and 5 fingered leaves throughout their lives, and the buds remain airy and stay smaller than a golf ball until natural flowering (outdoor) or forced 12/12 indoor starts, but the plants are perfectly healthy the entire time.
I considered posting this under “plant problems” but it’s not actually a problem, lol! They clone quite easily, with buds fully intact.
I am close to harvesting them, so have yet to experience the taste and quality, but even in veg they have the most delicious sweet, slightly cheesy smell, and it’s a powerful smell as well. I’m not great at describing scents and tastes so the best I can say is it smells like a winner!
I should add that I battled spider mites and heat issues in the first 2-3 weeks of indoor flowering, and many other strains hermied under the stress, but not these girls!
Hopefully I’m able to post pics as I have a few during veg and flower, some indoor and some outdoor.
Just cloned:
Filling out in 1 gallon :
2-3 weeks outside (next to pots):
14-15 weeks (3 plants marked red):
Almost ready to harvest indoor:
Outdoors they are dwarfish and trying to do the short, one giant cola thing that sog and stealth growers might love. The other plants (different strains) in the background went out about the same size, the same day.
Last indoor pic was just before a little leaf cleanup, just wanted to show it can get tall but is very lanky. Used a couple bamboo stakes, but tomato cage or scrog would have been better.
Really curious if anyone else has seen this and with which strains?
I believe mine is a version of Exodus Cheese, but not sure if I’m allowed to mention the breeder here so I won’t, unless someone asks and can clarify if that’s allowed to be posted publicly. Again, no complaints about it, it seems great so far, just very unusual.
FYI - I am a legal grower in Canada, licensed for personal production.
