Not quite sure how this happened. I popped 5 Jewel BeaSTs with the plan of keeping the nicest pair, but I now have 3 females in early flower and another of unknown sex already potted up for flipping. One F is in a little 1 gal pot in my mini flower tent and the other two got the full passive hydro buckets, so I should have a pretty good idea of what these genes will do under my growing system. I hope they don't all run a full 10 weeks though, as there is a long queue wanting to be grown.

!! REDRUM ?

I have seen plants do murder before, however they are usually not that good at hiding the evidence.

Running the MH & HPS side-by-side, it is truly intriguing how different a plant can appear just across the room.
Leaf temps, root temps, spectrum,,,, it's like a whole nother world, just a few feet to the left.

I am pleased as punch to see little jewels sprouts pop'n up here and there.

I was going to mention to @JL2G the other day, I think I saw one of my hubcaps passing me in the ditch. ??

K Almighty, theres a rattle in the wheelwell.


These are 58 days, how does that grab ya ?

Even in the Sat photos, the calyx aren't puffed out like that.
They are mostly devoid of white hair.
I haven't seen my scope since last winter but I can plainly tell,,, some people harvest sooner.

Same goes with these Strawbs, @THT.

They're also puffing up and really trying to look done. Much sooner than I expected.


It seems counterintuitive. This side of the room is colder. The soil temperature was dipping down to 13 Celsius, on the regular. I am really scratching my head on this one.

Science
Science, my bros !
I have been contemplating this.
I took a good look at the last five years and it is all pretty much the same. The beginning of September will always carry a few days over 80 Fahrenheit. By the last week of September daytime Highs are 20 and the nighttime lows are creeping towards freezing. About 50% of the time we get temperatures below freezing in the first week of October

For science, I am going to try to replicate that last week of September in my grow room.
,,,I was talking to this dude who lives in my town and has grown Outdoors for the last 2 years. He says that he has been taking 4-5 week old plants and putting them directly into the ground on mid August . He did horde heat towards the very end and has managed to pull crops off outdoors. Still I think that is a little late to be putting them out. I don't think he was harvesting mature buds. I mean I'm not going to tell someone that chatting over bananas,,, still I dream of a photo plant that I can harvest in my neighbourhood.

I'm looking at the long-range forecast this week and I think I can pull this hardening off Caper with some success. My lights are only off from 2 p.m. until 2 a.m. , so only the last half is really cold.

Little bit of curiosity, little bit of poverty ;I need to start shutting off some lights, retire the heater.
Like so many other Journeys before , we are coming in on fumes, boys.
The biggest challenge will be managing the RH. That little coil heater just chews up the humidity and I don't know if I can survive without it.

Plan B

Final tour.
Polish up your crown @High kev. Its time.

Got some white light on this side now , and I can actually see what's going down.

Zinger

That photo is untouched. That 10K bulb is tits for photos. I love the colour in that shot.

bottom nuggz are done, the top is hanging in there


Monster Mk

Most of my plants are typically between 1 and 2 oz.
That sucker is the biggest one in the room and it has got to be 4 Zedz.

Blue Cheese ? even when I started the seeds I kept the room at 68 degrees Fahrenheit and then they went outside. Frost and all they do wonderful here. I've also heard that Chemdog likes it a bit cooler too. If I'm able to this year I'm doing a "cool run" for the fall to see what kind of temps I can actually get away with. I've had 3 or 4 strains where I've knocked snow off of them each morning and they kept going. Sometimes cooler temperatures are an advantage in my experience.

Found it for ya. Cool ass hubcap btw.

I guess this is extreme foxtail ?
She was directly under the lamp for her whole flowering time; just under combustion temperature.


Never had one bug out like that before



And jewels dont get no supper

The attachment is a video

Got all Ed Scissor hand after this photo.
They are still standing but all of the fans hit the floor.

This is Taffie, between two strawberries.
The strawberry on the left is still in a 3 L Pot, just for giggles.
couple couple of strawberries in the foreground
This strawberry appears on the right, in the photo above.




This is the goofed up Diesel.
I find it intriguing.
The bottom looks like Heaven the top looks like Gai-lan
Fricken Italian Broccoli.



This Zinger scores high, all around.
Fatty Calyx
3L Mk
Monster Mk
She is tak'n a slow dive.


Charastar
Looks like Indica from across the room.
Up close,,,check out the lowers. Kinda Hazy
.

She is still fresh faced, but when I zoom in just above the string , I can see the kernels are starting to pop


I did brush a JTRespect and a Taffie branch with Charastar pollen. I am very curious to see if I can bring Charastar mass to their tight nugs.

I had mis-captioned this as a MK Ultra in a previous post.
Not so. ?

Imagine my elation , and detect an air of pride when I tell you this is one of my own ,
JTR X Respect.

Respect buds can be long and floofy. JTRipper seems to pass down a pile of sugarleaf.
I think I may have hit the jackpot on this one. It is shaping up to be a no-trim chonker.

Wow!!! This looks friggin amazing @Jewels . Can’t wait to see the finish on this one.

Instant gratification

Rose Water, Teen Parfume, Diesel,,, basically sniffs like the hottest chick at the barn dance.
Rodeo Queen.
As you can see she had a little Chiquita in her. Those were the seeds I pulled off ? JTR.
Luckily, the mice did not get all of the? Respect X ?JTR.
Those were two completely different plants- so hopefully I get all the good and none the bad.

I love instant gratification and that looks fantastic! Good work brother ???????? I can almost smell it based off description alone. (4 daughters) ?

My wife banned Axe, more than ten years ago. ?

3L root porn.


No big Spaghetti roots?



Sneak peek


Female
(Black x Romulan)

Male
Charastar


Looking like go'rs

Here are three BeaSTs in early flower( and a ball of Romulan).

This is the one on the rear left, just finished stretching.



They were all heavily defoliated right after I took the pics.

Box of grass



Bucket of bats



Lights have been off for a few days. I pulled the plug at 10weeks.



Behold the bunny power!

I only got a couple of these tied up. Usually, I entertain myself watching entire plants crash one by one. Very interesting this time around ; the lowers are starting to bow, even as the masts stand strong.



I mostly like this photo because it reminds me of a planted aquarium.

Damn that one on the left is FAT. She looks like the hulk just menacing in the corner creating her own gravity. Well done!
