Im pretty amazed. It's only been 8 weeks maybe a couple days more and 1 of the BBHP's is looking really close to done. I didn't thin it out earlier because of the leaf issues. But, they reek and I just looked through the loupe, and this 1 has 25% amber trichs. The buds are hard and even looking down deep, they appear finished. If only I hadn't had the problems and had defoliated it in time then maybe the buds woulda got bigger. But, it is what it is. The other 1 still has alot of clear so another couple weeks there. The autos should start finishing end of next month so at least I'll have smoke. Though small, these babies stink up half the house. Had to call an electrician to fix lightning damage and I played it off like I just smoked a joint when he got here. I called my joint Delta 8 and he said ," I wish my Delta 8 smelled like that!" Lol.

Can't wait to smoke some.

I love BB hashplant.. love it.. can’t wait for your smoke report on it. Was the only strain my late friend JB (rip) ever gave me a 10/10 on.. fussy bastard he was.
Hope yours is as good as.

Well, I'm ready for a harvest myself! lol . The photos are coming along but nothing quickly. Realizing that when you ran yours it was like 15 weeks? I have a ways to go. The Autos are flying along. I have them staked down tight and I have to move the stakes every other day. I'm gonna get these done and then I'll pop about 20 photos. I believe the sex the cutting technique you mentioned will work most of the time. We shall see. Those are beautiful buds there like always. Your strains always seem to have giant calyx formations. I bet it's a great smoke. Hey, I have a friend here who just decided to start growing and chose Autos for the turnaround time. He just grows for himself. Anyways, I recommended some Mephisto strains and he gave me a couple beans. I was going to save till next run so they're a week old today lol. The cups at the bottom right. Now I just need another light to maximize my space usage.

Yes I ran this last lot for 15weeks, and the undergrowth for another 3.. but that is from flip, shouldn’t really start counting flower week until they have gone through stretch and are showing flower sign. IMO anyhow.. so would have been more like 12 weeks really.. and it’s the longest I have waited, usually I am pulling at the 10 week from flip.. I just really wanted that big old swell to do its thing properly this time and I wasn’t in a rush.

Hey dude, that one was “Vegas Candy” from growmorefire.. it looked and tasted amazing, hands down one of the nicest strains ever.. only fault I have with it is it shrunk so badly upon dry/cure.. I am going to try it again just to make sure it was genetics and not just me screwing something up at the end. I might try crossing it with something.. maybe BB hashplant?

Canopy prune today.. this is going to be a beast of a canopy.. giving it a week to recover then flipping. I’ve got to get the Scrog net on there ASAP. Busy busy.. 9 straight hours trim jail followed up by an 8 hr day pruning, swapping the old flower room back to veg and tank changes ect.. whew! Lotsa work.

Hey dude the stuff you’re growing is nothing to sniff at either! And some of the strains your working on.. I’m a bit jealous. I’d love me some GG#4 to have a crack at.. and some black triangle.

Well, my stuff is pretty decent sometimes. But, I freely admit, I've never had a run like some of yours. I love the beautiful and diverse runs you do.....Hey, I smoked the clipped HP bud with the wife this morning. Besides the poor drying taste and all that, it smoked pretty good. At first I was a little worried, because, I took 2 tokes and was kinda Meh... I thought maybe I screwed something up. Went to the bathroom and sat down and realized I was going up. Caught myself nodding off a couple minutes later. Creeper as hell! The buzz is exactly what I had hoped for. Very smooth. No spun out feeling, and, 2 hours later, I'm still baked. I'm very happy with the result. I don't know how it got finished 9 weeks from the flip, but, I ain't complaining. You were right. Grown in your setup, I bet it was something to see. I think I may go Pro-Mix or Coco next time with 5-10 g. containers. 3g pots was a joke, and, they drank so fast I had to water every other day. Which kept the gnats going. Oh, BTW, I don't have Black Triangle. I have Space Monkeys and the BBHP of Bodhi's gear. Black Triangle would be nice.....

Chopped the 2nd BBHP today. It's got better looking buds. You were not kidding about the buzz. I freaking love weed that makes me feel like this. Stoned down but calm and happy. Me and the wife smoked a small J and I was wasted for 2 hours. I washed the trim and got over 1.5g of concentrate that fkn floors me. I forgot about the clones for a week or 2 but there's new leaves getting bigger so I guess I need to transplant. Glad you told me I could still take those cuttings. This stuff is worth saving. I will use 5g containers to flower these since I know they're female and max my light out on 2 plants. I'm not doing the small fry thing again. I needed weed fast and I got it but I sure wish I had waited to veg them another month. Won't make that mistake again. Check out these crazy autos. I started them a couple weeks before flipping the photos. Less than 2.5 months and a couple are almost done. Uglied up by gnats but 2 are frosty and stinky. I'm gonna keep 1-2 autos in my veg space. Bodhi gear has proved itself so Space Monkey next.

Sure am glad I don't have to grow outside. We're in the middle of the 3rd tropical storm to hit this year. There's probably alot of folks with plants that woulda been finished end of October that are going to be picking up their ruined remains after this blow. Winds got to almost 70 mph this morning. Weve had 8 inches of rain in 12 hours. We had one of these about the same time back when I was in High School. I can still remember the big fluffed buds that were weak as shit and everywhere. Mine are sitting in the dark with no power but at least they're dry. This place totally blows for outdoor weed.

It's crazy but 2 of those Autos are maybe a week to go. I planted them the first week of August. Insane they are done but,,, I have never had any finish this fast. 15% amber trichs and alot of em. They smell great but totally different from each other. ILGM is a pheno grab bag. But, start to finish in a tad over 8 weeks is crazy. The first couple I started , 1 has 2 or 3 weeks left. The other is lagging behind but if it fills out, it'll be a big auto for me. That one is expressing Sativa big time with those long buds. I just chopped an auto. Still can't believe it finished so fast

That's the only complaint I've ever had with ILGM, particularly with plant structure since I only have room for two plants at a time. My last run of ILGM Super Lemon Haze I had one shorty and the other hit the lights and fox tailed. Both were great smoke though and yielded 494g dry and that was after making bubble out of the fox tails.

I'll be trying some CDLC from Mephisto soon in my next run.

Yeah, ILGM's breeders dont seem to do any pheno selection at all on their autos. I don't have alot of room either and I end up having to boost up some plants and tie over others from the same batch. I've only had a few that weren't worthy though. That big one I've got woulda been a beast if grown in DWC or even 5-10 gallons of soil. The fkng gnats really got me. Especially, after no power for 3 days. My CDLC is doing alright. Ripley's OG is struggling but I'm keeping hope. Pretty sure I'm going Coco or Pro-Mix next run.
