There's no harm in snipping a bit of trich-covered leaf off the bud; much easier to view when it's off the plant. I put mine on a piece of dark cloth to cut reflection and give a good background to view against. I also like to look at the trichs around the edges that stick out away from the leaf.
THE THIRD DIMENSION- TGA
This one is on the way in to 12/12. About 8 wks veg, with an Uncle Ben's 4 cola treatment early on. Starting to take off now, so I'm cramming it in there to get going while it's manageable. I'm happy to get a female, hope it's a tasty pheno. Also a pic of a Missing x...
That would be nice, this plant has a lot of BB in it. Mine is def. the Indica pheno with huge fan leaves and dark color.. It's vegging like crazy in the 12/12 stretch period.
I took some cuttings from the Blue Fruit a couple of weeks ago but they didn't root. I took one today and noticed that the stem is completely hollow, looks like a straw. Maybe that's why they don't clone. Oh, well- I have some Jillybean pollen coming and another Agent Orange male that looks...
The Caramelo is a Lavender cross and has a floral/hash/fuel taste. The Cream Caramel I just grew was supposed to have a caramel taste, but it was more citrus/fruit. It did smell just like caramel early in flower although only for a couple of weeks before it changed. It never tasted like caramel...
PAKISTAN VALLEY- day 60
Small plant, I put it in very early, but nice buds for its size. They give 45-55, but my parent and clones are all more like 70. The calyxes are very large, like on hashplant, but they seem to take along time to finish. VERY frosted.
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS clone, one of 4 in there, each put in a week apart. Two are scrawny from a poor start, while two are big and bushy. All have good bud coverage, but the runts won't yield much because of their size.
This was put in on 02.27 or 02.22, I forgot to check. Anyway, P EX. is a great...
Speaking of QUERKLE,
here's a clone at 5 wks of 12/12. I drove the growth to the tops of the plant and pruned out the bottom on this one. The buds seem denser, and with 3 more wks they should get a lot bigger. Very frosty and sticky with a very pleasant smell.
CARAMELO- Delicious Seeds
A clone from the original seed, has been in for 38 days. This is the Lavender x Indica- smells a lot like the Querkle pheno I have, but with a little more burn or fuel to it. Nice, anyway.
GRAPEFRUIT- Female Seeds
This has been in for 2 wks after 44days from seed. Another pretty plant with highly serrated leaves. It's 75% C99 and 25% fruity sativa, 56 day finish.
These plants all look like keepers, I want to start more seeds but I can't stop cloning the plants I'm growing. I...
Hammer, I'll be over soon. Haven't been on, busy busy.
Some new pics, I hope. I just tried this and lost the bitch after uploading it all.
BLUE FRUIT by Dinafem (Mexican Purple x Thailand x Blueberry) This has huge fan leaves with a dark green/purple hue. It's been in 12/12 for one week (7 wks...
I'm growing Caramelo, "Lavender x Indica"- nice plant with a beautiful smell of candied flowers. Seems like a Hashplant in it, maybe Afghan. It has those thick, velvety leaves covered in trichs and turns purple at the end. The mother is long-gone, but I have a clone in flower and one in veg...
Pakistan Valley clone- day 53
This was one of those clones that I would have tossed if I needed some room- yellow, slow, but never quite dead. It came around a bit, though it never grew much. It's about 18" high in these pics-short, but big buds. They say it's fast, 45-55, but the mother I...
After a bit of trouble with the first plant things began to improve. The clones I took were healthier, and the last one I put in was the greenest and biggest. It looks like a good yield, with bigger and fatter buds than the lesser specimens. It's got another couple of weeks, but I'll put up pics...
