Man the TD look really nice and healthy, a little stretch but still really nice! The master kush looks delicious as well, fancy sending me some :lol:

That Master Kush has been hanging a week now, keeping the plant whole really slows down the drying process. The others that were in there are done. Shes still got another week to go but today I cut the branches off the stalk and separated the main cola. Check it out.




Shes 18" long, doesn't feel that heavy. I'll have weight once she drys out a bit more.
Thats a awesome shot there, i love how the trichs are glistening

Thanks man, yea she is an awesome cola, I've grown bigger but but the plant was like 6 feet tall.
She started flowering at 24" and produced an 18" top cola, one word, WOW!

The Tangerine dream hasn't slowed down. They are at about 24" at 6 weeks old.




I removed the reflective material from the upper walls and lowered the light, I run the light from 6am to 10am then from 6pm till 8pm now.







So like, I got to thinking, How big were my girls at this time last year.
Heres a shot,





Hum, This is gonna be interesting...

I hear ya man.

Well shit. I started the TG early cause I was under the impression it was a short plant.
My plan was 4 short TD in the front and a screen of trainwreck and bubba in the back.

I suppose I could hack these girls off like two nodes down, where the stretching started and still grow bushes... but their stalks are so thick! The stalks are like 1/2 in already, My guess is I would do better if I were to let them go, put one in each corner and trained them each the length of the green house in screens. Two in front and two in back leaving the center open for Train wreck and Bubba Kush. Keep the largest of each one, flower the other three in the cab. That will give me six and thats where I wanted to be. Maybe put the two in the center on casters, I could roll them out for better access while training... until they don't fit through the door.

OK, I can see it. Change in plans.
Gonna let the TD go and mount 2 ft screens the length of the greenhouse front and back at 5 feet high train them to stay at about 5 feet. Top the hell out of TW and BK keeping them at 5 ft until they start to flower and let them go. I got some chicken wire too, not for training but to keep it off the roof panels. I'm bound and determined to keep those fuckers on this year.

Guess I better get the others out of the cab so they can catch up.

Hell ya I'm still smoking some from last year. I got some Casey Jones and Blueberry left. the rest is gone.
But, I have some of each strain I grew winter and spring: Hindu kush skunk, Headband, G-13 and Silver Jack. plus that Master kush so I got enough to last through the summer. I change strains about once a week. I would say from the strongest on down is Casey Jones then Silver jack, Headband is close but a lot smoother, Hindu Kush Skunk, G13 and blueberry are all about the same. Good Indica buzz.

Ya know 3eyes, You may have been kidding but I actually did consider digging down a foot or so and setting the pots down in it but gonna go with screen this time instead. If I'm still short I'll give it a go next summer. Thanks though.


Ok well the gangs all here.





Tomorrow will be the little ones first full day in the sun.

lol, if the TD had been planted the same time as the Bubbas/ TW then you would've been golden with your plans. Have you actually smoked any TD yet cruz? I haven't read many smoke reports on it and know pretty much nothing about it.

Yea, its nice to see some green in there and no, I haven't smoked it yet.
I've read mixed reviews but basically what I get out of it is that its got that orange flavor and more of a head high then body stone. Not a real strong "cough your head off" smoke more of a smoother smoke, mellow buzz with the taste of Orange/Tangerine and pine.

Funny thing, Now Ive grown several strains I gotta say genetics is only part of what makes good quality smoke. Soil/hydro makes a difference in quality with soil being my preference. When you change nutrients its taste changes like its a whole different strain. I think the growing conditions, the environment is a major factor in what you get in the end, That and drying/curing. So with all these variables its almost impossible to recreate the exact taste/buzz you get from a finished product so I don't try. I grow it the best I can and hope for the best. I always grow more then one strain first time around just in case.

Right on man, Works for me.

The girls did fine their first day out in the green house.




They are all perky and reaching for the sun.



Bubba Kush, That one on the end has a fat stalk. Looks like I got a new favorite.



Train Wreck, here its kinda obvious.



This is the TD that had the spots on the leaf, you can see the troubled leaf down bottom left if ya look close.




I been thinking about the training and think its better to train them all the same direction.
Starting from the area of the green house where I don't get much morning sun and away from there... Like this.





I can go 2 feet wide and still reach ok to tie back to. If they overgrow I can push them towards the center.
