Super Silver Haze to Flower and Seed

4 SSH to go into the new tent arriving today. Looking forward to having the right number of plants for once. These were cut 2 weeks into flower and revegged while rooting. Took nearly 4 weeks for leaves to get back to normal. Looks like I should shear them back before flipping or they will be 6 footers again. Currently 28 inches tall.20231103_090707.jpg

Chop day. I'm half way through. Here's a 42 inch spear kind of crazy with foxtailing. This plantwas the weirdo as a seedling all the way into flower with odd leaves and smaller in veg. Not the largest in the tent either.20231105_114110.jpg20231105_114242.jpg Here's the first plant I ran through the trimmer:20231105_090625.jpg

I regret not pruning them more vigorously and I hope I have a more controlled canopy with the second act. More popcorn than I care to grow but the tops more than make up for it. Huge floral hand grenades. I have a small bud drying on a hot radiator....

Sheared the moms down and took 30 clones, could easily take twice thatView attachment 5339653View attachment 5339654

It's now day 72 since flip, harvest time draws near, one pheno keeps throwing out more pistils while others are starting to foxtail a bit. No 4th quarter nanners appearing but remaining vigilantView attachment 5339658View attachment 5339659
What kind of incubator for the clones are you're using? The Park Seed one is the only one I'm aware of that uses Styrofoam insulation around the root ball, which I think is critical for clones. Haven't seen the one that you use.

I have had that for a long time. Used to have two. Absolute favorite cloning method is rapid rooters in that float. Make sure it's always floating, plain water, and the plugs will get perfect moisture and great rooting. Heat mat underneath depending on season.

What's the brand? Have never seen any other incubator besides Park Seeds that uses styrofoam.

I need to add that my decision to chop was triggered by the discovery of budrot in a single cola. Didn't find anything beyond the one spot. I won't be flowering in that room anymore, it's just too small to control the environment, especially during seasonal change.20231106_065041.jpg

I am making changes going forward, principally switching to much smaller pots. This 4x4 tent had 6 5 gallon and a 20 gallon res. Once heating season began and I couldn't vent out a window, humidity skyrocketed and the lung room couldn't handle it. I struggled with this last winter too. I think I can still veg up there but never again flower.

The year in review. Surely I can do better.Screenshot_20231107_072047_AC Infinity.jpg

I have been letting my seed plant ride on alone the last couple weeks. Stopped watering a few days ago, going to let her continue to dry on the stalk. Batting the branches against.the tent walls results in a shower of nice ripe beans. I'm definitely going to have hundreds if not more!20231124_093149.jpg20231124_093321.jpg

My first attempt at seed production was fun. Lots of interesting interactions with all the plants figuring it all out without seeding my whole crop!
