THELOADEDDRAGON'S Perpetually growing perpetual grow

pistil length and thickness is just a personal preference with me, yes trichome development in the earlier stages is related to the trichome development in the later stages, not necessarily the amount of trichomes, but their size, development, and length...... it is typical though that if it doesn't start out with a whole lot, its not going to end up with a whole lot, but a good part of how it goes has to do with the grower and the technique ...... seeing as how the WC with the curved stalk wasn't FIM'ed and was grown using the same techniques (in relation to general practice, the plant still had its own focusses) as the other three strains, it is safe to say that it will produce less trichomes over all then compared to the other three strains.

Chemo Cindy has the largest trichomes, and they come in very densely populated , the buds are large and dense, this plant also has the most budsites per inch of stem.

Twilight has the most trichomes coming in over all and has the densest calyx formation, though the trichomes are slightly smaller in length (they are just slower to develop as they do get longer with age) they are fatter than any of the others, this plant has the second most bud sites per inch of stem.

Maui Skunk has an almost perfectly evenly distributed flower development pattern, tight buds, avg sized pistils and calyxes, that are nicely covered by avg sized trichomes which are devoloping at a good rate, she stretched more during the initial phase than any of the other plants, she hogs the light sucks up the nutes and the water really quickly, she has the second to last bud sites per inch of stem ratio, but I think technique has play into a good part of this, as if I had done a few things differently with her (like LSTing and giving her more veg light), than I think I would be seeing more budsites, and had I got to trim her right as I flipped the switch to 12/12 (having LST'ed her with denser veg nodes) she wouldn't have stretched quite as much, and still had the same perfect development patterns, so she is definitely a keeper, one that I will work with more in the future ........ she may have a brilliant future

The Widow Cindy with the curved stalk has the least amount of bud sites per inch of stem, and I am not favorable to... I think I described her enough for today...

The Strait Stalk FIM'ed Widow Cindy looks very nice..... she sits in dead fourth place thus far, though she beats out the Maui Skunk in bud site per inch of stem, she is just as dense calyx wise.... indeed she is very comparable to the Maui Skunk.....

I didn't take any cuttings from these plants as I had planned.... it seemed more of a hassle than it was worth..... but the preview for what is to come from the clones of those mothers is very promising........ I would be stoked if I pulled a lb total from these six ladies in flower....... they look like they will give me between 9 oz's-14 oz's depending on how the next two and a half weeks go (while I shoot them up with nutrients lol)

Like I wrote before..... I have a lot of catching up to do with this journal...... thus far it isn't even half ass..... its been 1/4 ass.... LOL..... things are starting to come together..... Im working on it

I watered all the vegging ladies good this morning Ladies in flower get watered tomorrow.....

yep....

Curved stalk WC.... gone tomorrow....... I don't like her! she grew some balls, I don't even want to deal with it....... I am considering putting a Jack Herer into flower though....

I think I figured out which cuttings were which strain based on my memory (so could be dead wrong)........ Five had full Sets of roots sticking a 1/2" out from the cubes, and 3 or 4 were right behind it with their first roots poking through, so I just threw them all into pots with soil (16 of them)..... 1 gal pots filled 3/4 with FFOF, but the top layer (top 1/4) is a mix between light warrior, Bio Bizz All Mix, and FFOF..... I expect to see decent vegetative growth from most them starting the beginning of next week....... One thing to note is that I was told that Twilight is extremely difficult to clone, and coincidentally, none of the rooted clones were what I suspect to be the Tilight..... so we will see how it comes out...... I just really need the humidity dome for the next set of cuttings so I can separate the strains easier using two cloning trays with humidity domes when I take cuttings tomorrow, (Yes Tomorrow! ) I will probably take 5 or six of each including 5 or 6 from the Jack Herer I have decided to flower in stead of the Curved Stalked WC...... I noticed some of the cuttings droop after transplant so I will keep a slightly closer eye on their conditions...... but basically the 1 gal pots should be dry by Sunday night, and in the in between time all those cuttings should get a good start to sending their roots out as far as they can and suck up as much as they can before natural soil transpiration and aeration cause the pots to need to be watered again in order to sustain life

Was just wondering if anyone can tell which bud shots were which strain based on the description I gave earlier, since I didn't label the pictures?

Can't wait to see your harvest and then the full perpetual shit..... should be good....

Curved Stalk WC only had one male pollen sack, and I looks all over her...... see no more than one.... so I pick the one and leave, we see what happens? Shrugs...... I kind of want to just use the HPS that I already have up for just flowering larger plants, not particularly and SOG..... and using the next 1000W setup to do SOG, compare and decide..... shrugs, SOG has always beat out big lushy plants in the past...... lol...... but If I start flowering that JH, she will be going on into January..... lol

Jack Here sounds sweet. Long flowering time? I picked 1 pollen pod from one plant. And then someone told me no good so I chopped "it" down. Ill make wraps out of "it"

I am under the impression this one pollen pod appeared due to a specific stress (or order of stresses) since I am "pushing" these plants, it is almost to be expected, the resiliance of all the strains has proven itself, the WC being the least resiliant to stresses, remember I already pulled one Twilight hermie out, ..... I will pluck the pod and see what happens ..... she isn't looking too bad, and Im sure Some one will apreciate the more developed buds to smoke ..... if she starts throwing out more pods.... well, she will have to come down.... but until then I am going to play with her some more..... and of course my lazy procastinating stoner ass didn't take cuttings yesterday (I passed out with my baby girl ), so I will have to do that later this afternoon LOL

What you a stoner??? never would of guessed that LOL

sounds like a good plan. Everytime I read one of your detailed posts like this another piece fits into the puzzle

lets see if some post harvest Sensi Star Cuttings will root shall we? The plants were all harvested at the closest one week or more ago.... I am going to go through and pick popcorn nuggets and take some cuttings to see if they will root..... this should be interesting, ......... revegging the potted plants didn't work due in the most part to my lack of attention to them post harvest, and general abuse ..... lol...... after I take (what 6-8 or so) Sensi Star cuttings this evening I will move on to taking more cuttings from the indoor plants......

Most of the cuttings/clones I just put into 1 gallon pots look alright..... the PK clones are revegging very nicely as well ..... still have that last battle with the mites that are on the silverback to do..... But I am putting that off until this upcoming Tuesday or wednesday.....

The 4th week sure is a glorious one for the ladies in flower..... they each sucked up a little bit more than a gallon when I watered them yesterday evening!

Nutes day after tomorrow for the ladies in flower, and this evenning after the clone session for the mothers in veg....

And thanks Wonderblunder...... I have never tried to complete such an intricate puzzle.... Im still almost baffled by fitting the pieces together appropriately

I think we all have a different puzzle..... Sometimes, I am putting pieces in, sometimes the puzzle is getting bigger...... Haven't found a balance.
I need to do some bug control today, if you have a minute.............

ahh bug control ...... and yes every puzzle is different, as each complete puzzle makes for a different image

yeah gonna try the garlic method u suggested .. got the recipe? then when i go to the hydro shop in two weeks to get the tent and hood im gonna pick up some pyrithium foggers ..

be careful with those foggers.....

garlic recipe?

minced garlic..... strain oils...... mix 1 part oil 7 parts water, put in spray bottle..... let sit on foliage for ten fifteen minutes, then use regular water to rinse off....... But I wouldn't do that for gnats

6 more pollen pods on the WC..... she gets the chop today :/.......

Yep, sound like she's run her race.
It's a shame, how far gone was she?

hey tld, i found some immature seeds in one of my plants.should i chop her.. it? THe caregiver the seeds came from had hermie problems. The rest are fine, and only the Blueberry and the flo are from him. The flo is the one with the seeds
