A couple of questions: Are the lack of sideshoots in the pictures from the clones you cut earlier or did they just thin out as they did the flowering stretch? Also, are those sticks in the picture holding up the colas or are they there for some other reason?

Nice resin prodution evident on the leaves in the second picture. Thought about yield estimates yet?

No, I took my cuttings/clones before switching to 12/12. One of my plants looks a bit bare because of all the leaves I removed that had this leaf spot fungus thing going on, so it looks semi manicured already! The sticks are actually for supporting some of my lower branches/buds. I've tied the branches down a bit on one of the plants to try and helps with light penetration to the lower buds, just experimenting really. The big colas can support themselves just fine as my main stems are so fat! It's the lower branches that need a little support.

I'm hoping for at least 2 oz dried per plant, but only time will tell.

Thanks for stopping by Trapper. You and me both mate. No idea what happened to Babygro, I would love to know how his plants finished, but he's just vansihed from here.

wow! 2 oz. per plant is a great result...... hope it works out. Have you been able to achieve this with past grows or are you going by the Satori yield estimates from the Mandala site?

I remember now that you took clones so that probably explains part of the reason they look like they have no side shoots (i.e., less bushy than others I have seen). Don't get me wrong, they look great!

well I don't have 2 oz per plant yet, but that's what I'm hoping for based on what I achieved from my first grow earlier this year, which was just under 2 oz per plant. But we'll know for sure soon enough.

How bushy a plant is, is more genetic than anything else, if you don't do any topping or training. Most of the Mandala strains seem to grow good single main colas, which is why they are good strains for SOG growing.

I'm planning a 12 plant SOG for next year some time using clones from my Satori mother, but that's a long way off yet. I've got to finish these Satori's, plus my Hashberry's and a few other Satori clones I have kicking around before I can get into that one.

I just finished reading your Snow White grow journal and now see where you got the 2 oz per plant number. Well done there, it was a really noce grow and the Satori strain should do equal if not better now that you have that much more experience. Can't wait to see the end product!

I understand all the genetics stuff, I should have said "those are less bushy than other Satoris I have seen".

Not a bad thing, just an observation or perhaps picture perspective.

fucking cool.

I think he's telling me plants are fucking cool

What's wrong with that....do you not agree?

I'm going away till Friday so here's a quick picture update for ya before I leave....

Pic 1 - My small res to water/feed my plants from while I'm away. Pumps are set on timers to feed them twice, on Tuesday and Friday. The airstone will bubble for a bit everyday and during waterings. The plant on top is one of my Satori clones that been in the flowering room about 12 days or so.

Pic 2 - A couple more clones in the corners of my flowering room.

and then some shots of the big girls @ 41 days of 12/12

Enjoy........till next week!

Looking great, wishing you luck on your time away..I am sure that you have everything dialed and in place! I am veging my Satori right now...I hope I get some pheno's like yours!

what can I say.. yeah they are fucking great

Snow you back yet? Would love some updated pics of the girls. Closeups of the main colas and side shoots would be interesting at this point.

Are they still maintaining the 85cm height they had after 3 weeks into flower or are they adding on slow height?

Also, how much longer do you suppose until they are ready?

Hey all....quick update before I go away again tomorrow for the week. I've got my reservoir and timers all set up to feed them again while I'm away.

When I got back on Friday and checked on my plants I was sorry to see my leaf spot fungus has spread more onto one of my other plants, so that's 2 that have been affected now. My best plant is still fine though and is showing good resistence to the fungus, for this reason I have selected the cutting/clone from this plant as a mother.

Here's some pics for ya anyway......

Pic 1 - Just for you Sylvan my friend, some of the side shoots!

Pic 2 - Is my strong bitch!!

Pic 3 - A group shot

Pic 4 - Another of the strong one. Such a FAT main cola on this one!

Pic 5 - One of my flowering clones at around 3 weeks 12/12

Till next week folks!

Thanks man. All went well with watering/feeding while away, same again this week I hope. Only problem is my bloody leaf spot. My room is getting a serious clean when these girls are done. Good luck with yours. Hope all is well man!

Thanks man...all great, except for the bloody leaf spot!!

Well thank you very much Snow.... very lovely side shoots they are!

Found hermies in the garden! Fuck it!! I'm so dissapointed.

It's Day 58 flowering today and I was getting excited about harvest. Now I'm just wondering how many seeds I'm gonna find!! I was looking for the source of the pollen and soon found it.....and in the process covered one of my flowering clones in the stuff. Double fuck it!! Now I'm really pissed!!.

So my plan is to let my 3 main girls finish (producing fucking seeds!!) a bit more and then I'll chop them at the end of the week. I would of left them another week, but I need the smoke really badly and I want to start a fresh now. My flowering clones are going in the bin as they must of been pollinated for sure, especailly after I helped them along. Flowering space needs a v good clean before I put anything else into flower.

I'll post updates after I harvest and let you know how bad the seed count is.
