GS, nice photos. I'm pretty trashedGood Day A! It's getting close. I have 32 in the bloom room, I need room, waiting to cut 17 down. Have a good weekend everyone! Peace!
Does this one have seeds! Did she Herm?
View attachment 2790030
to make a diagnosis about the herm. I think we have had so many around here we are all scared to look. But I didn't see anything but swollen calyxes.
That's a good thing, almost cut time. Man you have a serious amount of plants going on in your grow.
Have to get a John Deer pretty soon.

Same here, looks good to me. If they were swollen from seeds, they hermied some time ago already and simply cutting off a calyx and squashing it should remove any remaining doubt.

Thanks Prosperian and Sativied, I just wondered since this is my first look at a mature plant that's not a problem child. I like your comments. I guess I will have to do some reading up on matured plants.GS, nice photos. I'm pretty trashed

Prosperian, yes it's getting a little grouped in the bloom room. I got my group of girls that's about ready for harvest and I have already flipped my third grow to 12/12 they are in week 3. I have my 4th in veg and will flip them when #3 is around 7 weeks into bloom. I decided to try my hand at mainlining my Lemon Skunks after reading Nugbuckets posts. Wish me luck! Guys your latest pictures look great! Very healthy and frosty. I might have to start dusting my plants with sugar just to keep up.
Hey prosp! What are you medicating with these days? Sounds pretty nice! Take care! Peace!!!

McCallans is the only way to drink. I was two weeks late on rent this month after buying a case. Used to be satisfied blasting some punk rock, and pounding 30-40 PBR's, getting into a fight in a 7-11 parking lot. Shit's changed since High School...but not much.A 16 year old single malt and PE - now that's living large! You got me thinking of my 18 year old Macallan. Keep on keeping on Prosp!

What's changed? location of the fights moved to taco bell?
Nobody wins at Taco Bell. Last time I was in a scuffle was at the laundry mat. I got charged with assault. Dude came at me with a tire iron. I was able to grab his leg and drop him. Ground and pound. His friends were too scared to jump in. I lost two molars, he lost his dignity..

Macallan is an excellent distiller. I used to drink a lot of it and Oban. My tastes shifted about eight years ago to the peaty flavors and smells of the south Islay region. Lagavulin is a perfect example of the "campfire" smokey smells and flavors of this drink. Just like cannabis varies by strain, scotch varies by region and distiller. It's like a favorite pair of shoes, once you find your region, you tend to stick with it. For those that are interested here is an article on the regions.
If you ever get a chance to attend a scotch tasting, it's worth the time and money. You can try all the regions and see what you are drawn too.
Speyside
Speyside boomed during the late 19th century, when blended whiskies began to take the world by storm. The smooth, comparatively subtle character of many Speyside malts was ideally suited for blends destined to be assaulted by soda siphons in gentlemen's clubs and officers' messes around the British Empire. No fewer than 21 distilleries were built on Speyside during the 1890s alone.
Today, Speyside remains home to many of the greatest names in Scotch whisky, such as Glenfiddich, Glenfarclas, Glen Grant, The Glenlivet and The Macallan. Stylistically, Speysides vary from the light, soft, floral nature of whiskies like Knockando and Cardhu to weighty, more complex and heavily sherried malts such as Mortlach and The Macallan.
Highland
According to historic excise legislation, Highland malt whiskies are distilled north of a line stretching between Greenock on the Firth of Clyde in the west and Dundee on the Firth of Tay in the east. Whisky commentators often sub-divide the vast Highland region into a number of smaller areas, within which there may be stylistic similarities. References to Northern, Western, Eastern and Southern Highland areas of production are common.
Geographically, the Highland region of malt whiskies embraces Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery of Pulteney, in the Caithness port of Wick, and its most westerly in the shape of Oban. Interestingly, although so far apart, these two whiskies share similar characteristics, in that both are comparatively dry, with a whiff of sea salt about them.
Some of the leading - though incredibly diverse - Highland single malts are the complex Clynelish spirit from the east coast of Sutherland, Dalwhinnie, Royal Lochnagar, Glengoyne, Aberfeldy and Edradour. Edradour has long prided itself on being Scotland's smallest distillery, and is situated near the popular Perthshire holiday town of Pitlochry.
Campbeltown
Once the 'whisky capital' of Scotland, with no fewer than 21 working distilleries during the 1880s, Campbeltown lies near the southern tip of the remote Kintyre peninsula in Argyllshire.
When Campbeltown was at its distilling height, stylistically, its whiskies tended to be big-bodied, heavy, peaty beasts, eventually even referred to as 'stinking fish' when quality was sacrificed for quality during the 1920s. Today, Campbeltown's whisky- making industry is a shadow of its former self, with just Springbank, Glen Scotia and Glengyle in operation, though Springbank remains a classic malt with a worldwide reputation for excellence. Distilling recommenced at Glengyle in 2004, after almost eight decades of silence, and the Scotch Whisky Association subsequently reinstated Campbeltown as a separate whisky region, having previously included its whiskies in the Highland category for a number of years.
Islay
If Campbeltown was formerly Scotland's 'whisky capital', then Islay is most certainly the country's 'whisky island.' It is home to eight working distilleries, the most recently established being Kilchoman, a 'boutique,' farm-based operation which commenced production in 2005.
Once principally used for blending purposes, Islay single malts have become extremely fashionable during the past couple of decades, with Ardbeg, Bowmore, Lagavulin and Laphroaig all gaining something approaching cult status with drinkers. One of the great recent success stories of Islay has been the renaissance of Bruichladdich distillery since its re-opening in 2001 after several years of silence.
Islays are generally regarded as the most assertive and distinctive of all Scotch malt whiskies, noted for their peaty and medicinal character, though there are great stylistic differences between the Kildalton distilleries of the southern Islay shore (Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Lagavulin) and the gentler, less dominant malts from further north on the island, including Caol Ila and the gentle and very lightly peated Bunnahabhain.
Islands
The Islands category of malt whiskies includes Scapa and the world-renowned Highland Park from the Orkney islands to the north of mainland Scotland, along with western distilleries such as Jura, Tobermory, and Arran. It also includes the mighty, complex and peppery Talisker from the Isle of Skye. This is a very disparate category of whiskies with the elegant and quite delicate Arran malt having little in common with Talisker, for example.
Lowland
The Lowland region of malt whisky production lies south of the theoretical line between Greenock and Dundee, which separates the Highlands from the Lowlands. History has not been kind to the area, and today only Auchentoshan, near Glasgow, Bladnoch in the far west of Galloway, and Glenkinchie, south of Edinburgh, survive, along with a small-scale, farm-based distillery at Daft Mill in Fife, which gave new impetus to the classification when it opened during 2005.
Many connoisseurs consider Rosebank, near Falkirk, to have been the best Lowland of all. Sadly, however, it was the victim of a major 1980s rationalisation programme by owners The Distillers Company Ltd, and is now a lost distillery.
Stylistically, Lowlands tend to be comparatively light-bodied, aperitif whiskies, noted for their delicacy and soft, grassy aromas and flavours.
P/e, can't go wrong with that little baby. My peeps prefer the AK47 over the p/e, but personally, I think the p/e is a smoother smoke with a better flavor profile. That's going to be some harvest. I like looking at larger grows, it's my other side of the fence.

I would have kept all his socks as a trophy. "this dude kicked my ass at the laundry mat the other night and he took all my socks" That's a hard one to live down.
Bud looks alien dude. I miss being able to pull my plants out of the cab for pics. Scrogging has them chained to the closet until harvest. Lot of growers are buying cameras and the plant photography is really coming out great folks. Big thumbs up!!!Some OLD bud porn i got from 4/20. this is also my G13 Labs Auto AK Good thing for all you guys to wake up to

I was wondering because they all looked the same
P/e, can't go wrong with that little baby. My peeps prefer the AK47 over the p/e, but personally, I think the p/e is a smoother smoke with a better flavor profile. That's going to be some harvest. I like looking at larger grows, it's my other side of the fence.that one crop was 8.5 lb BUT it dried out way too long cause took over week to trim... my PE is 17% tested which isnt bad but it is deff more of a relax type rather than hardcore stone. people now want stronger stuff so im running some BLZ BUD in with it(mid to high 20%)
i will say the PE is an easy grow and loves food. excellent for a scrog. i veg only for 4 weeks then put under a screen an they strech an fill the screen with only the first 2 week stretch of flower. sucks i lollipop all that starting growth though. im going to start veg for 4 weeks and then veg for 2 weeks in the scrog before switching to 12/12 an the stretch growth can grow strait up and im expecting like 12 a room rather than the 8.5

Sounds like a good plan ricky. Yes, the market is demanding the higher thc over other characteristics. Amazing increases when you consider what the thc % was back in the 70s and 80s.
Pulled this out of my strain book...This was printed in 2010 and out of date by now, but it kind of shows the direction we are heading.
