Far too long since I've posted in this thread. There was a minute where I didn't have any GK gear going , that was kind of silly.
I got so comfy with the feminish beans trend that I almost got caught with my pants down. I put four dirt torpedoes in, and I got four to sprout. Vegged them through and only ended up with one female.
@ Phylex built it, and I do not recall seeing another, ,,

Ended up grinding a few gears putting these into flower. It was cold , over choked and I nearly flooded the whole table. Bit of a rough idle. The fuel was always waiting there, in the media. The heat helped to stratify the mix, and provided the needed air and compression.
After a couple nights of forced air heating, I managed to pry open the secondaries and clear out the snot.
Air, fuel and the Beloved Spark
The 1k fixture spooled her up right quick.

Once we hit for throttle I gave her a puff of laughy gas.
You can't just build a supercharger on your Minivan and expect to finish the race. You got to be set up for gas we need higher compression and higher octane.
They were only getting pH water whilst I was in panic mode.
Pre-detonation !
I can see them ping.

Colours are fairly accurate. These popped up too fast.
Charastar sits right of Sour Taffie.

I have seen that look on a bird's face before ~she didn't know what hit it.
I will make her a good breakfast and she will be walking just fine by noon.
Regard the columnar.
The LaMotta Crypto sitting to her right was topped at the 7th node, and put on five more after flip.
Charastar is untopped and set about 8 perhaps 9 nodes tall, at the cluster.

Meat handed Crypto blades on right. Thinner, longer, old man hands on the Charastar.

She is not leathery, but does sport a deep gloss epidermal cuticle.
In my limited experience , blades seem to narrow further as they flower. This thing could look pretty mean by the time she's done.

These came above ground on October 10th. They flipped mid-november at 32 days.
All sexable within in a week of 12's
Verigatated male Charastar was sexable earliest, at less than 4 weeks.

I am very interested to see what this gal does. I am more familiar with flipping at 8 or 9 weeks which means that I cannot read the stretch on these things. Typically I don't get an inch taller after week 3 ,,,on a 9week strain.
So there are a few factors that are putting me kind of out of my element here. I typically top a plant and see more secondary branching as I am typically flipping them later,,,,
The Crypto looks now, as more typical of a plant I would be just putting into flower.
I am super curious to see how this turns out. At this point I do not know if it will still yet branch, or just bud all the way up.
I like surprises.
This calls for a little bit of saturated bunny gold. A little bit of nitrogen and ammonia should settle the score.
Have you grown any of these out Phy?
I held onto the males, just so I could get a good photo of them maturing.
