"We took this Trip to Garden Grove"

[JL2G]

My how time flies. lol.
So as I was hoping for with the HS #2, and it went with my first initial thoughts on things as well. The #2 of 3 that I thought was a male, and was hoping was, is a male finally confirmed. The other #1, and #3 are showing girls, also as I was hoping, and thinking they'd be. All three short and squat plants, with the male being a couple of inches taller than the other two. So far of the clones I took of them #1, the stinkiest of the bunch had one of her cuts root already, like lots of them showing out of the pod.
That makes me happy. lol.
So now including the HS clone, and the ones from seed I have 3 females, and one robust go getter male to run for seed. YAY. lol.
Coming soon I'll up pot the 3 from seed, I can tell they're not happy in there little 2L pots that they've been in for 8 weeks now, and up pot the clone to let them fill out a little bit before I flower them all. The male I'll flower out in his own spot for pollen collection, and dust buds for seed by hand.
@SSGrower the Honey Sundae chucking can begin, would you be wanting some pollen?

 

[JL2G]

Veg shot from today.
Had some signs of early thrip damage on a couple plants in there the other day.
Sprayed everyone down, including the soil with Dr Earth Final Stop Saturday, and a spinosad tx to them and the soil Sunday.
The HS wasn't happy with it, lol, but they'll be fine. The male is the upper point of the triangle bottom left side of pic. Two SCJ beside them on the right being bad asses.


Flower room ready to come down pretty dang soon, they're fading out fast now.

 

[JL2G]

@SSGrower you were very accurate when you said those HS were slow veggers. Lol.
They got really mad at me for the cutting on them too, the first top/fim bushed them out, but the clone taking put them on pause for a bit. Lol.
They're some really stout plants, super thick stems, all nodes are beefy looking, like they'd take some serious weight on them.
Looking forward to flowering them all and seeing what other expressions may show from these 3 from seed plants, vs the clone which I've smoked on previously.

I have no plan in place but it would be neat to go back on the HS x NH chuck if this one seedling I have is a girl. Don't sweat it tho.

LOL I friggin meant it when I said you have to wait as long as you can possibly tolerate before pruning - or something along those lines. It's hard, if you look at any that I have flowered out they are always the smallest plant for their age. Its hard to get meaningful growth out of the lowers I think partly because the node spacing is so tight.

I'll save pollen, maybe throw some at a Jenny plant clone while I'm at it. Tame her wild growth, but likely make her even more of a dense bush. Lol

You did mention that about pruning, but didn't we also have a discussion on instructions and what we do with them? ???
Was anxious to get some clones off of them, so I took measures. Lol.

That first FIM did wonderfully on getting the lowers to come up and out, but then I chopped 3/4 of those lowers off for clones. Lol. Thats where they got pissy with me. Lol.
Gave them a light top dress last night, and a bit of gypsum thrown in there too. See if that perks em up any. They were looking a bit hungry in their little pots. Lol.

I think that'd be a dang fine cross, the NH x HS. The way that NH stretches so wild I'd think it'd be damped back by the bush of the HS. Likely guess it'd stay a fairly long flower time though, with an added slow AF veg. Lmfao. The slowest plant ever we could create. Lmfao.

That's the objective (well not the slowest plant ever part lol) and it IS a fine cross (HS X NH)

It didn't pull the flowering time out too too far, maybe put it at 12 weeks instead of 10.

Well dang, and coming along very nicely at that.
Has it seemed to have sped up the veg process for them?

Here are 2 of her sisters. In the white tray flanking a GorillaBlues x NH (the one with the bamboo stake). I don't think I quite got all of the one in back but even though they were still the shortest, there wasn't ad much a discrepancy. The MdR x NH (x2 behind the gb and hs crosses) got topped along with the NH f2s that I grew at the same time (the last of which I just chopped last week at 130 days).

 

[JL2G]

Flower Day 75 now on the two LJT, and they're sure taking their sweet time. ?
The tallest one was ambered up, and chopped at day 64, she was fading out fast. The smoke from her is so amazing imho.
These ladies are going so much slower, thinking they're definately different pheno's than the other one. They're both all nice and milky, but little to none for any amber showing. The way they're fading out says the end is near, but they're still throwing more white pistils. Lol
Looking up the parents typical grow times, I'd say the one I chopped already leans to the Lemon Tree, and the two still going lean to the Lemon Jack side of things.
Wondering how the smoke will be from those other two now, sure hoping they follow the first plants wonderfulness. ???

 

[JL2G]

Buncha update pics, I've been a slacker. Lol.

Old Momma's Jenny, and BBB trimmed up something fierce and thrown in the flower room.

OMG they were huge girls. Would've been way too unruly to flower like that. Lol

BBB now, all clean cut, and thinned out.

BBB before.

Jenny's after pics with her bush trimmed up all clean now. Wow she was a deep bush, alot like a sexy hippy girl. ???

And her before bush like state. Lol

Then there's these two LJT, they're fading out bad, about done there, but not yet fully ripe to my eyes. The scope agrees, and says not quite there yet at day 80 now.
No amber on the one, and maybe 10% on the other. ???
Damn you plants I wanted to chop already.
Chopping tomorrow regardless. Lol.


Veg room this am, and this evening after an up pot for the two Honey Sundae's.
Have at least two rooted clones or more of all of the girls. ???
Gave em some 3 gal pots to spread out in, and then to flower in a few weeks along with their other sister. This am's shot.

This evenings rearrangement.
New momma Jenny back middle, and a couple of the new momma candidates of the BBB in their smaller pots scattered about.
One snake lights still waiting to sex. ???
The two SCJ in the middle are both showing girls now, so that's awesome.
Sexy ladies make me happy. ???


Second round of IPM to the quarantine tent and veg room happened yesterday. Make sure to take out last survivors, any eggs that got missed, and may have hatched/be hatching.
Taking it to em ballistic like, no survivors allowed. Lol. All 5 coming along nicely, but forgot pics of them. Dang that weed. Lol.

 

[JL2G]

Jenny left, BBB right side. Day 3 of flower.

Finally chopped the other two Lemon Jack Tree's. Day 83, one day shy of 12 weeks. Lol.
Still had a good few white hairs coming on, but they were gonna kick it soon, and the scope said they were plenty ready. In the 10 - 15% amber range, good enough for me.

Chopping chop chop.

No bamboo stakes and those suckers are on the floor. Very heavy and dense buds. M mmm, love the smells, sharp and sweet sour notes.

Gave em the wash and rinse in the tub. Daughter complained the house smells now. I think it smells a bit dispensary like. Lol.

Hang dry whole plant til they're ready, then trim off the main stalk, buds still on branch, and into the gamma buckets for beginning of the cure phase.

And the anticipation builds. Lol

 

[JL2G]

Couple of flowering ladies getting their stretch going on. My what damn fine legs they've got.

Jenny

BBB

And some more pics of the LJT bud shots from the other days chop.

Love how this herb smokes, has some serious kick, and long legs to the high.
Very head high, quite appetite inducing, and spacy AF. Makes time fly by, like where the heck did the last few hrs go? Lol.

 

[JL2G]

Flower room update, day 17.
Jenny and BBB both doing some serious stretch.
Jenny is possibly gonna max me out this grow, she's almost as tall as I am. Lol.

BBB, love these meds. Mmmmm

Jenny, reaching for the ceiling. Lol


Thinking Jenny would do a great pairing with the HS male, tame her stretch some, and beef up her weak stems. She gets so floppy all over when she buds up heavy, requires lots of support to not fall over on herself. Lol.

 

[JL2G]

Veg room doing it's thing, growing marvelously along in there. ???

Two SCJ girls, one undetermined Snake Light, Jenny, BBB, the HS girls, and one boy HS.
The R hand side is all rooted clones of the other veggers in 2L pots.

Doing a little training with this one, she's so tight and bushy. Gotta open her frame up some, let those nodes grow out.

Few of the ladies still bouncing back from the severe IPM measures I took the other week. Not taking any chances of letting them basterds take hold. Lol.
Kill em quick, and kill em dead X3. Lol

 

[JL2G]

Sunday night's flower pics, and dang is there some beast growth going on.
Had to raise the lights up, was getting a bit close. Light above Jenny is high enough for me to walk under now. Lol
Jenny

BBB

Thinking a few other girls are going to get added soon, the HS are about ready to flower out imho.

 

[JL2G]

A beauty shot of Jenny, she's so dang happy.

She's at that fuzzy poof ball stage now.


On to the veg room, everyone but the SCJ's are happy as can be. Those two in the middle want an up pot something bad.

Honey Sundae's, two girls left, male on the right. He's a beefy boy, and has this wonderful funk to him. Gotta trim him down though. No way I need that much pollen. Lol

HS #3

HS #1 the stinkier girl of the bunch, and a fair bit shorter than her sister.

HS #2 the male. He's still in a 2L in these pics, and almost as big as his sisters in three gals. Love his structure. ???

And the boy after a severe trim job, and up pot into a 2 gal. I'll let him bounce back a bit and then flower him out. ???
Going to flip all of the HS here pretty soon. Three girls, to the one boy. Have multiple clones of all of them, even the boy. I want to chuck him at a few other things down the road.

 

[JL2G]

Having one of those days here, monkey shit comes from outta nowheres, and messes with the mojo. lol. Having a smoke atm and pondering the decision that needs to be made. Maybe I should do an urgent question, and let ya'll decide. LMFAO

What? Didn't feel like letting the peanut gallery decide?

 

[JL2G]

What? Didn't feel like letting the peanut gallery decide?

Took a bit to ponder things. ???
A drive in the hills, and a smoke or five seemed to help move things along. Almost decided to ring ya & swing by, but didn't feel very much like a people person at that moment. Lol.

I asked the girls in the garden what they thought, and they referred me to their older sisters that live in jars scattered about the house. ???
Much wiser in their age they said. ???
During a sesh with the BlackBerry Breath, a decision was made, and the motion was seconded, and thirded by some Lemon Jack. Gonna ask Jenny Chem too, and see what she has to input, but I think it'll be unanimous. ???
