cali con's boss hogg

Sorry to hear that HGK.
I must have been one of the lucky ones. I am still running it and have the mother I used for the cuttings, in flower now. It really is some great chemy stoney smoke.
After all the stuff I've been hearing about hermies, knowing what I know now, I don't think I would have popped those beans.
If you have other beans that you know are more stable or relable, I would use them instead.
It's sad that something with such potential for greatness, is more prone to failure than success.
It's like having a kid on a baseball team that hits a homerun whenever he contacts the ball. Unfortunately, he strikes out all the time and has a 180 batting average. It may be cool to see him drive one out of the park, but do you want him on your team?

- aint that the truth, lol- same ideas you have but you worded it better than I did.

Yea thats the picture of Deadhead OG from attitude. a couple of Cali cons pictures have those. i guess i just assumed breeders wouldn't use a beaned up picture since a female flower without beans looks diff then the beaned out versions of themselves

i never claimed it to be anything else than it was. super dank smelling and grows harder then anything I've ever run. its called making sure to give it a fair run and not jump to conclusions like most simple assholes. Being honest ya know.. if it woulda been LA i woulda been saying the whole time how slow and shitty of a grower it was and it better be some fire for me to keep.

My critical mass by CBD crew is throwing nanners too so that puts swerve in the company of those guys so i probably wouldn't use the hermie as an excuse to why swerve sucks. there are plenty of other reasons for that.

All in all its got more potential then the last 20 beans or so I've sprouted. saying that. I've kept several of those 20 beans, and it doesn't look like hog is gonna hang around unless she really turns it around in the next week or so. like Rocky said a home run would of been epic with this one. like the best I've ever seen. grow only that kind of epic. but thats also the seed game its a gamble.

The hash from this i think may end up being some amazing hash. the plant really really really has "that" smell. u guys know the smell. that THC top shelf smell that all the elites share. mind you its not overwhelming but its still there. so i figure with a little "concentration" we can get it to be overwhelming!

The joint i smoked today of it mind you was an handful of underbuds that i threw on the back of my T5 8bulb setup to dry out quick. 36 hours later Puff puff. so its not even a really fair judge if it just yet. I will say this the stress level of the weirdness of this plant has definitely detracted from my love for it. Almost overnight it went from being a joy to see the progress in the budroom everyday when the light came on to a fear of what i might find when the lights came on.


P.s. The critical mass is on the other side of the room. a fair distance with a few plants in the medium that didn't get jizzed on yet. I'm feeling its a self pollination. i guess shouldn't we expect it tho, isn't it an S4. does the plant know anything else but self pollination at this point?

Here is my Boss Hogg 3 weeks since the flip to 12/12
It is easily the hungriest plant in my garden

Like I said earlier in this thread, I must have been lucky because I'm on my second run with clones and it is doing awesome!
Your plant looks great Blazin Purps. Watch that thing start stacking around week 5. It is a slow starter in bud production, but it fills in the spaces well. as you have probably read, there are 2 phenotypes to be had with this strain. (so far) I prefered the white frostier, more chemy tasting one, but both were rock hard nugs and good strong smoke!

Looks like you topped that one. I have a straight up grow flowering right now. It was the mother, but after requests from people to produce more, I put it into flower. I also have 2 I'm vegging right now that I just topped, so I am interested in how your's yields.
Nice job!

Here is my current Boss Hogg. It has been in flower for 30 days. It is gaining steam and throwing out new yellow pistils everyday. Can't wait till day 70!

she's looks beautiful! Mines got maybe a week left she's starting to get dense too. Haven't found any wieners since the original scares either. she might hold on for a big finsih for me after all!

Yeah I topped it and did a little supercropping, this one smells like chem intensely! I will update how it turns out in this thread

lol- i got 2 more coming with my last bean order as freebies, gonna try a couple again sooner or later i guess?

I popped my two boss hogg freebies (reg) . one came up. But the leaves resemble that of my pepper plants. They do not look like cannabis leaves at all. Is this normal? I've only been growing for about 7 months, and have never seen anything like it before.

pics please...

jamesk ya this sucker will give you some weird leaves and growth patterns. i can't even describe mine with pictures lol. i got weird single blade leaves and 3 blade pepper leaves going its really weird!



She's groin hard! I've actually resorted to OVERWATERING by a long shot and just using a lot of H2O2 cause she's so hungry still. i just can't bring myself to go higher then 600 on the ole meter so I've had to just about drown her but she loves it. she's drinks it dry in 36 hours. I'm at day 60ish and i figure i got an extra 10-15 days or so due to size and light restrictions so I'm gonna go hard for probably another 7-10 days then back off on her and see how she comes out.

ice buds I'd be keeping that pheno and clone the Shit out it haha

I pulled my two Boss Hoggs at 65 days. I am going to take the one I have in flower now at around 70. (depending on trich color)
I am flowering my first clone as we speak! I have two more clones vegging @ three weeks now. I love this strain. If you can get past the bad rep of Cali Con and other hermie prone problems, you can seriously find a winner.
Like your Holy Grail Kush, HGK.
I am going to post some pics today of the one I have in flower now. I think it is around 4 weeks in flower now. (have to check my grow log)

I cleaned out the under buds a week ago and hung the 2 biggest branches up that had a joint or 2 hanging on them still. just smoked one...... WOW! ya i think this might be a keeper. I'm going to keep at least 1 going for now so i don't loose her and make sure not to let her get so big before i bloom her in the future.

i got a feeling everyone else is gonna love this one. its not the best I've ever had, my HGK is definitely better, but its really good. definitely worth popping some freebies for.

i still got a week or so on the rest, I'm pretty excited for it now! Like i said for some freebies this its pretty fuckin epic!

Old pic of the first run. This bud was only at 4 weeksIt still beats everything else I have going on.
It is what inspired me to order ceeds again.
The Boss Hogg and the CH9's Vintage 2006, both surprised the hell out me. (I am flowering both right now, both from cuttings)
It makes me want to always take at least one cutting from each plant, just in case.
I am soooo glad I did with the Boss Hoggs.

Wise words, else regret and sadness will eventually find you

Got to scope her today. she's READY! all fluorescing with a couple ambers here and there. the top is all weird so i think i got some heat stress or something. Im bout tired of picking dicks so its whatever. This sucker developed backwards its very very weird. the bottom buds developed more then the top couple.

did anyone else's do this?

*edit* I just can't figure it out yet lol i wanna let the couple up top go i think just in case. I've been scoping for the last hour and there are very little amber trichs on the top half of the plant. its way weird, like i said the top main 6 buds or so grew a bunch of strange fingers out of the top and are very strange looking.

guess she gets a bit of a stay of execution

Maybe foxtails from heat and maybe some reveg?

ya bundee i think so but I'm not sure why. my room is usually below 70 degrees. right around 68.5 or so. The one light over her did get pretty close and i didn't really notice but it was a bit dirty for the first month or so and that was making the glass really really hot. so I'm thinking just being close to the light dried her out and heated her up too much.

any suggestions on what to do? hash the few problem areas? the rest is still gonna be a mongo harvest so i really don't see an issue with doing that.


o and ha3mme8tt Good luck! she's a handful make sure to get her in bloom early if you have any height restrictions!

Well My Power went out for two days and when it came back on my AC went out for a day and my house got really hot (its been 110 outside the last several days) and nearly my whole room hermied, The Boss Hogg however only grew one sac and no bananas and now is fine like nothing happened. My whole crop is seeded now (I picked as many sacs and nanners as I could but it was a losing battle) but this was mostly a pheno hunt anyhow so I am still going to finish them and see who I want to keep. I will update the Boss Hogg pic soon but so far I am pretty impressed with it.
