She got smegma on my plants!!

I'd never mess with auto's because they're very unconvenient for me, and i think they're crossed with ruderalis to make it auto flowering, i think they're pretty dull plants.
All in all the auto's are for people who never done it before...they could be less potent and you cant grow them to the wanted size.
Looking forward to more of your grows though, tune into my journal for some love back

RECAP. The LA is getting the same nutes as NL1 and the other two are on the fox farm trio. Now I am fully aware these are all different strains which will give different results. BUT I am going to note that I am seeing some similarites.

Ok the LA has smaller/denser nugs while the other two (BW&WS) both of bigger if not triple the size of the LA's, and their more "airy"
THe LA has literally DOUBLE the amount of resin as the other two.
These are the exact same things that happened between NL1 and NL2.

I believe their may be a difference in nutes. Ok so the LA is a diff strain then the others but is it a coincident im seeing similair results? not to mention that the BW and WS are different yet they are showing all the similair signs NL2 was showing... Just thought I'd THrow that out there.

If the LA turns puple and the others don't It's gonna be tough to argue there's no difference in nutes.

Ok so curing began. the official weigh ins:
NL1 dry weighs 31.2
NL2 dry weighs 46.4

As for the appearance of the nugs:
NL1 nugs are denser, have a darker/purple color overcast too them and tons of crystals.
NL2 nugs are a little airyier but not anything too noticible. They are a lighter green and the orange is brighter but thats probably due to no purple in the nugs. As for crystals it's still covered but it doesn't seem to be as much but that's just my eye. I'll post a pic of the top cola nug of each soon.
Started the same day, Chopped the same day, and started curing the same day. I am not going to do a taste test untill atleast a two week cure... Maybe I'll sneak a little one in here in a few days though.

I still don't know how I feel about the results and wont untill the blind taste test commences. For this I will do separate experiments. First with smell, then taste, then high (although that one is always hard to judge) I like to do my test when I haven't smoked for atleast 4 hours prior but I feel like their are many other factors involved such as time of day, prior smokeing as well as energy level, etc...

The nug on the left is NL2 and the right is NL1. It is kind of hard to tell a difference in the pictures, but there is a minor one...

PS These are NOT the main Cola's, just two random buds from the jar.

We are rounding day 40 of flower. I know the LA finishes a little earlier I believe somewhere between 55-65days but thats also the breeder Im sure it'll take a few extra days for me. From the looks of it the White Siberian will be to follow then the Blue widow. But these are mearly guesses since alot can change in the last few weeks.

The LA is looking absolutly amazing. Super crystally with brown and white hairs popping out of some nice dense nugs. the LST has givin me like 4-5 main colas because of the way it's bent. It is still on a step stool in order to get it to be at the same height as the others. If i did all of the plants like this I coulda vegged em for 2-3months no shit! but maybe next time.... I have trimmed a few big fan leaves to expose my other main cola's on the stem.

The White Siberian is following close behind the LA. It the last few days it has been swelling at a nice rate, giving way to some really pretty resiny looking nugs! I'm pretty excited to see how this one looks when it nears the end.

The Blue Widow las but definatly not least. THis one as you may recall was Fim'd Twice which has given me like idk 12 main shoots, the plant is huge! It has the largest nugs by far of any other plant not to mention it is swelling at a rate double of the others. This one might bring me some weight The hairs on these nugs are alot longer than the hairs on others which may be the reason for me thinking the nugs are so much huger... (huger a word?) so much more big. lol

What's nice about the last two is their such "clean" plants meaning I have no excessive fan leaves which are getting in the way like the LA. Which is wierd because as noted with the experiment with the nutrients on the NL2 which was the same feed as the BW and WS. It had lots of green growth inside, where here it doesn't seem to be the same issue. Also I need to find out does the LA get purple towards the end of its life if so then the whole theory on the humboldt nutes turning my plants purple is out the window. and that would mean I just got two different pheno types on the LA's. BUT this is all up in the air as of now.


bla bla bla just check out the pics

Don't have much to say... Growing nice as you can see. Had to stake up BW and WS because they were starting to lean over. idk why because the buds aren't THAT big...

SMOKE REPORT: on northern lights. AMAZING! and what a difference in NL1 from NL2. I say that cause I've been smoking this stuff steady for about 4-5 days. And I can tell a difference in high between the two. For taste their the same as well as appearance.
I AM NOT attributing this to the difference in nutrients Im thinking I had two different pheno types of the NL's. My LA has been fed the same as NL1 and their's no purple. not to mention it drops down to 62-64.F at night.

Ok so we are nearing the end... Mostly all trichs are thick milky white and barly much amber. Infact the LA hasn't changed much in the last two weeks. Just gotten more purple and maybe filling out a little. The White Siberian is swelling pretty good, it is a very lime green color with dark red hairs in the nugs. It is yellowing out nicely with a little purple throughout the big fan leaves. Actually some really good looking nuggies. And the Blue widow. This one is amazing. I don't know if it's from the FIM or what but it has huge colas come out all over atleast 6. I know Im nearing the end but I would love to see them swell more so I could get some massive colas longer than a foot. But the top nugs are just nice plump fat nugs. Long hairs that are now turnigna nice orange. surrounded by purple sugar leaves

THe BLue widow is also turning purple alot. Im giving up on the theory that the nutes caused that purple. so far from what I can tell the nutes didn't make a noticeble difference in the big scheme of things. Not enough to truley notice.
I guess to note a few visible things were that with the NA nutes their was way more resin than the other, but definitly less in nug weight.

I haven't feed em in about a week and probably wont much anymore. I gave them a nice soaking in some fungi friendly compost tea that I made for them. I figure with this i will only need to water with mollassos the rest of their lives. here's some pics. Enjoy

Dude i havent checked in a while, they blew up since last time. Looks likes it will be a nice yeild..hope you'll give us some kind of smoke report! Goodl uck to you my friend!

Doc

thanks brother, yea im gettting excited. I can't believe i didn't have anything go wrong yet (knock on wood). I think they loved that tea I gave em too. Im still really looking forward to that LA but they all are looking BOMB! I honestly have no idea of what i might yield.... I know what Im shooting for but those are always two different numbers

As long as it is some dank, yeild never REALLY matters to me unless its under a 1 oz a plant.
I'll take quality over quantity any day of the year!

Sticky Icky Icky!!! Boy you're close! I myself am about 11 days from a 3 plant harvest. Keep on growing!

Doc

yea I see that! man it's gonna be hours of trimming... OH well roll up some blunts, grab some beers, and Im good to go. It's funny my few friends who grow/know are always willing to help with the trim so thats good.

I just started Sour diesel, (2) critical + and a shark attack. Gonna attempt 100% organic should be interesting.

ok so I got a bit of a problem, but thats what I get when dealing with fem seeds. I have noticed a few seeds in my colas on the LA and on the BW nothing on the WS. At closer inspection i noticed on the bw the male bananas... I removed a few of them but noticed i was spreading pollen around. So i shut the lights off and am gonna let them sit a day or two in the dark and then harvest. hopefully I don't get hella seeds from this.

Typical femmed seed traits when stressed with light schedules or heat problems, thats okay, a this point i dont think they will have time to develop into seeds if any pollen found its way to a calyx or many calyxes... I would'nt worry about it.

ok so like I said I had my BW go hermie and grow lil nanners. I didn't notice any on my LA or the WS but have noticed a few seeds in the LA and WS so does this mean they all hermied or did just the BW pollinate the rest?! i don't really understand that part.

Ok so after a wonderfully long time trimming I got a few pics and results.
I wish i woulda took pics of plants before I chopped. I never noticed under the hps but my LA was COMPLETELy purple leaves, stems, it was wild... the WS was super lime green with dark red hairs and the BW had the biggest colas with a close look you can see the purple in the nugs. THis plant wasn't completely purple like the LA but all the sugar leavs and most fans were. The white siberian never got any huge colas like the BW got. the BW had about 4-5 big colas from the fimmin and the other tops were respectively big. The LA just had big dense round nugs all over and a kinda dissapointing main cola but the nugs almost look black at times!

The first pics are of the Blue Widow weighing 73.4g dry
second we have the White Siberian weighing 63.3g dry
THird are the La Confidential weighing 42.7g

6oz and some change.... Was shooting for HP but am happy with the grow for the most part. The good news is that 6oz will def last me untill my next ones are done. I will follow up in 2wks or maybe a month for a smoke report for ya guys after the cure.

fun trip, thanks for showin the love and followin along.

Good job man!

The blue widow looks pretty and dank! Not bad for 3 plants... Good grow dude, keep on growin'!

Doc

The BW pollinated the rest.

Everything still looks real nice!
Good job man!

What up brother, thanks man I was pretty happy with this crop. Yea That's kinda what I was thinking it's the BW that pollinated everything, oh well I know have a few seeds. I think Im gonna start a bunch of em and just run em 12/12 from seed and see how that turns out. Man I topped my diesels and criticals and the diesels blew up! the criticals didn't take to it as well. I am also attempting to clone from the topping of each we'll see if I have any luck.

So they have now been curing about 2wks. And I've got the BW exactly where I want it in terms of moisture. the other two are still being burped but like every 4days untill they get under 60% RH then I'll jar em up for storage. Anyways time to figure out what's the best one right!

Ok I've always had trouble doing a judging by sitting down and trying all three at once, I will do this tonight with some people and we'll figure out what has the best. BUt for me to really make a good judgment on the quality of the nug Im going to start out tomorrow and only smoke one of them the entire day. Then the next day I'll only smoke another all day, then again and agian. I figure I'll do this once or twice for each and I should have a good idea of how they are in all aspects of the day! I'll post back with a SmokeReport in a week or so.
