The hardness test I don't usually do until flush week. That's when I give a few a good squeeze to determine density. But based purely on the look, and the fact that even the thick branches are starting to strain under the weight, I'm thinkin' they'll be okay in terms of hardness.
Believe me, I'm doing everything I can to make them go faster. I want to smoke this so badly, it's quite killing me. The smell is beyond description. I can tell this is the best weed I've ever grown and I haven't even taken the first legit bowl yet.
yea they are great, yea they are loud lmao, my flower tent is in garage off the living room and entry, if i got company or such coming over i swap out to a couple smaller active air 15lpm for a little stelth. no way of ignoring the noise. lol the ol lady trumped me the other day when an unexpected guest arrived, before ansdwering the door she flipped the drier on. even in the garage it was un noticable. think ill keep her lol by the way she says to tell you those are beautiful!!! guess we are both envious...
My overall system running is loud as hell. It was loud as hell even BEFORE I upgraded the commercial pump. It's funny, when a grow finally ends and I unplug everything, a silence like thunder falls in my apartment. It's a sweet silence I trim the bud to.
I'm used to smaller nugs from OG's as well. That's why I'm so amazed this time around. There are, however, a few OG strains that yield some sizeable chunks (Goliath being one I can think of off hand). I've seen true OG in full bloom lotsa times. If one studies the structure of my current grow carefully, one will see that the nug structure is spot-on OG, it just looks different (better) than OG bud photos we're all used to because they're growing extra-freakish.
Okay, the depth of your OG Kush knowledge is started to lose me a little... Lol. Geez, I had no idea of the subtle differences in lineage you speak of. All I go by is smell and taste to judge a 'true OG,' maybe not even knowing what the term 'true OG' really, really means.
Looking massive! Im jealous, you are defintely beating me now. Great Job Lordjin! How tall are those colas? Mine are only 14 inches max
I changed the water again. The sugar concentration has the ph dangerously high. In the past few weeks, the plants have been exhibiting a tendency to rise in ph in the first three to six hours after water change, and then level off to a slow drop. I think this is the last water change until flush.
The bud pictured in the next three below is my crowning achievement as a grower. It is the single most magnificent OG Kush cola I've ever grown, and I'm proud to share it with you here if not at harvest lol. I've grown bigger buds, but for a true OG Kush, not some weird cross, these nugs are big.
The sweet zone is getting thicker. Let's see what happens in the next week.
A sweet pulled-back macro of one of the mid-sized smaller buds. Isn't she pretty?
And another shot to highlight the massive columns that have developed.
Next two are today's contribution to what has become the 'flash off' segment of my galleries. This is a bit closer to how it looks to the naked eye under the HPS compared to flash on, but the dynamic range of shadow is exaggerated a bit. It looks really cool, though, imo.
DIABLO BAPTISM
The roots have taken a beating but they just keep drinking. Here is plant two getting a much needed rinse after a long week of drinking.
Thanks, bro. You may have me in height. These bazookas have no gaps between nodes, so they're shorter and growing wider instead of taller. Their stretch completely froze ages ago.
The high temp is the trade-off. There's nothing I can do about it short of turning the light off completely. I don't see a lack in density.
Lol.
I actually like Louis XIII a lot. It's a very heavy stone. OG's with male names? Have you looked into Charlie Sheen OG? I've heard the name tossed about, but don't know what it is. Probably somethin they just made up... but funny.
