hey, Man- haven't been here for a while, all bad news to catch up on. What a winter; things can only go up for you from here, right? Good luck, lemme know if you need any help!
They are delicious. The vortex male I had seems to bring out the best of whatever it was crossed with, although I didn't make a lot with it because I didn't have much in flower and the pollen doesn't keep well.. Thought I'd try the Cream Caramel/Vortex mix in the next batch of plants..
A few with no pics that came down recently were Kali x unk.- Not much smell while growing so I had low expectations but it packs a great taste of lemon drop candy- just had to cure for a couple of weeks. Another plant that I thought was an inferior pheno was a large, dense Grapefruit x Agent...
Mini Cheesequake clone. This is one that never took off so I threw in 12/12 after a couple of weeks veg. The plant is only a foot high but smells great and tastes more grapey than lavender, very sticky. There is a larger one due in 3 or 4 weeks, and another still in veg. All 3 were cloned at the...
Same plant, 6 days later and shortly before chop. Tastes like iced tea with lemon and sugar, the taste keeps coming after you smoke. I'm keeping the whole thing for stash.
It looks like a momentary condition that just effected those leaves. The rest of the plant seems fine. Maybe something got splashed on them? If it doesn't spread any more I'd ignore it. Also, what a line-up you've got- should get confusing, lol!
Your buds will really enlarge at the end. Let the hairs turn color and shrivel, watch the calyxes swell and frost up. Restrain yourself from chopping early, just take some samples from here and there while they ripen and you will see amazing changes after the 8th week.
In theory 1000W will do a 4'x4' area for optimal plant coverage. You'll probably do OK if you keep moving them around under the light. Some times I get crowded and choose some plants that will be around the outside- I chop the branches off one side so it's flat and turn that side away from the...
I hate winter growing. Good luck with what you've got, hope they recover. Mine usually shut down and take a while to turn back on if they get really cold for a few days, like planting outdoors too early. Let me know if you need anything. (Have you tried any Royal Kush? It looks interesting in...
Caramelo x Vortex. There are 2 of these, about 5 days apart- the oldest is at 9 wks. It's a little smaller than the other but both have the best smell, probably a mango/lavender or so. Has a funny looking bud that volcanoed. Oldest one here:
The Kali (Big Buddha) x Agent Orange. 7 weeks and finishing fast. I wasn't real impressed with the mother, not much taste. Maybe the AO will improve it. Anyway, it looks good....oh, shit. I lied- too high on cheesequake- the father of this plant is not AO, it's Querkle/Jilliybean. That's cool.
Caramelo/Agent Orange x Jack the Ripper 9 wks, needs at least one more. Things slow down in winter with the cold nights.
Not a great yield, but the fruity/candy smell is enough to make it worthwhile.
Here is another Grapefruit x Agent Orange, this one at 6 weeks- I think, it looks younger, though.. I trimmed the popcorn off this early and got big, round lollipop buds.
Graperfruit (Female Seeds) x Agent Orange, 9 weeks
Nice solid nugs with a fruity smell. I've done 3 of these, each a little different in fruit content. Some don't smell much and have a mild taste while this one is a definite fruity smell, but they all yield solid buds of good quality.
LA Confidential x Skunk, DNA Genetics.
9 weeks, still some yellow hairs but generally ripe, almost all cloudy. It's throwing a few bananas so I'm putting in the dark, chop a few tops tomorrow. There is one more clone of this in 12/12, at about 5 wks.
