Thug pug/sssc collab #5
(3/4 of the last pics are the revegged clone in a 1gal pot.. used to determine sex before flipping the mother) She will be used along with another rooted clone in an s1 project. From here on out I will have a tent dedicated to keeping 1 cut in veg. I am able to do it (keep it) in minimal space for quite a while. I have solo cups that have been in there since 2/8 and they are fine & tiny plants. A couple are bonsai style that I’m just abusing to keep them small. They don’t seem to mind at all.

These clones have been topped & chopped a few times. First one already has 4 mains shooting off the base. 1 more topping, and we will have 6 mains to build on later on.

Dream wedding

I snipped a branch dangling around the bottom net to test out at mid week 8.
I checked the info on ILGM’s site for shits & giggles to see what they had listed for a finish time. They say 9-10 weeks. This pheno looks to be falling in that lane. It’s also showing a little pink.
Clipped 2 days ago.
last 2 pics were just a moment ago.

A few shots I took yesterday. Just in there checking things out & overthinking

No drastic decisions made yet. I have resorted to setting up my 3x5 in another room to house my clones/vegging plants while I chop the Night king x lurch & Dream wedding in a few days. (As soon as the soil dries up a little, but not all the way.)
Reason being: I am going to need some moisture in the stalk to assist me in a nice & slow dry. Bro science - shmo science lol I watered today & defoliated a little.. the moisture being released from the sites I snipped made me hit the breaks. I don’t need all that moisture dripping onto the leaves & possible causing trouble.
I won’t be splitting stems.. loading my pot up with ice, or doing any rain dances before harvest. Light on.. light off.. I’ve noticed no difference.

Some pics from Cinco de Mayo. (The night before chop) after 59 days of flower 2 plants were ready to my standard, however I let them go until I was satisfied with the other 2.
letting them go another week wouldn’t hurt.

The thug pug plant may be a short plant, but these small colas are about as dense as it gets. This girl will be cut in sections to help avoid possible mold. She stinks so good tho. I already tested a nug that was clipped 2 weeks before chop & loved it. Glad I held on to some cuts.

I was wondering ( I have same light and tent) if i should put it in a 3x3 instead but you answered that thank you

I think the FC4800 would absolutely crush a 3x3

Lovely plants btw well done

I appreciate that! I feel like I’m getting better with each run. Just gonna keep pushing. I am making a second attempt at the thug pug collab #5. She was so so small compared to the rest of the tent. Next month I plan to have the 4x4 filled with 1 huge clone of it.

Dream wedding got the chance to hang in the small tent while I dealt with the others. I did try removing the entire plant from the net to hang, but the lower satellite branches were now tops standing well above the net. Way too much time standing there thinking about it, so I snipped in sections to work it out of the trellis from below.

 

[HydroKid239]

I originally wanted to hang all 4 plants whole, but the Dream wedding was in too deep & I didn’t wanna bang her up to get her out.
The cement shoes I didn’t think I’d be able to get her out, but 2 joints in.. it went well
Trichomes on this girl are about 80% cloudy 10-15% and just a few clear. Last pic I have is this one here..

Getting the cement shoes out of the net was a little easier (a lot easier) because her stems are thin. She’s a leggy gal.

Just 1 lady left. The ILGM version of wedding cake.
