Somethings going on with my Black Lime Special Reserve....

Droopy , twisted & gnarly leaves?

Notice anything else?

stay healthy people.
Soil too wet and temps too low can cause that, maybe check humidity too. Most likely though it will be fine and just needs to get it's roots down. A ton of early issues resolve themselves once the roots get a chance to spread out and take in more nutrients.

Not much else you can do at this stage, if they look to wet lay off the water, check your temps and humidity. I guess you could also keep an eye on the stalk, make sure you aren't getting any fungus problems or anything like that. There are some products that can help if you are having a stem issue. Most of the time people do more damage than good trying to fix anything at this stage though and way more often than not they just need a chance to get settled in. People get worried and water them even more or try to spray them with all kinds of crap or over fertilize, etc. I've seen more plants killed that way than by just letting them go. Make sure your temps, humidity and soil moisture are right and everything works out in the end so long as you don't kill them with fertilizer.

Oh and I guess I shouldn't leave out PH, I don't know your water situation but PH does matter too. My first thought though was maybe a bit damp and cold, the leaves tend to get a bit ahead of the root development when that happens and without the root development they can't get enough nutes to keep up so it can present itself as a deficiency.

Just had to pop in and post that once again, Useful work is still getting rave reviews here in the far northeast. My daughters friend stopped in and I'd given her some GG4 buds to smoke while she's home visiting her family. We talked briefly about the intense smell that the glue gives off and the various terps good cannabis can present. She told me the Orange Cookies x Choc Diesel she gets at a dispo near her apt is still one of her all-time favs.

I gave her shit for not bringing any home for me, lol.

Hey Fellas,

Thanks to suggestion from @Tangerine_ I grabbed a pack of Useful fem beans. This is my first try with this breeder. This stout lil lady is already a bit of a stinker with fuely choco notes readily apparent if you rub the stem and also a little perfume in the local atmosphere. Cover crop stems are showing through in the pics

2 questions 1- Should i take some clones right now since she is a stinker at the early age of 24 days?
2- Is she too squatty? I think the top is 5th node and the plant is just 10 inches tall?

Appreciate any observations, many thanks.

That's the one I'm after also. And yes this quarantine has put a damper things, but we are alive and well so I try not to complain. Was there a particular one out of that group that caught your eye?
Specifically the Sky walker OG x Choc Diesel. Other than that, #4 with the Chem D x Choc Diesel and Gg4 Choc Diesel gave me a chubby. There is 1 gg4 x fire cookies up on GLG but as I said, I'm broke so I cant even get a single pack! Ugh I need to be content and do the Appalachian Orange and the Chem D x Banana OG grow log I've been talking about... Just gonna wait for the Appalacian Oranges to show flower before the photo show begins...
If I could build a box out of the selections offered out of the 4, it'd make the "Diesel Box"; id put in:
-Skywalker OG x Choc Diesel
-Chem D x Choc D
-GG4 x Choc D
- Gelato 45 x Choc D

IMG_20200512_185312140.jpgIMG_20200512_185442002.jpgMore Lucky Lime ......As previously noted, the big ass pot, got a little muddy as transpiration retarded, henceforth at day 58, some slight foxtail developed. On the morning of day 60, a single, rougue cluster of bananananners was discovered, potentially due to very poor soil conditions, but I'm leaning towards blaming China entirely.
She didn't get a chance to reach her full potential, room was crowded, soil conditions were in a state of cascading failure, I was singing "Day-Oh, me say Dayyy Oh"... So I took her down.
Here's a couple more shots, one untrimmed set of two main "tops" and a picture of the biggest bud, next to, the smallest bud.
Distinct odor, old school "really good weed" smell. Already a fan favorite.

I'm holding out for the orange mix, which I'm calling the Orange Groves 'til it gets a name. But, I'd be forced to buy a pack of the Diesel Box if was available. Good picks!

When the BOO cross mix packs are available, they will be named Orange Groves !! I love it !!! I hope all of you are well, I don't have time to catch up atm, hopefully we can get back to some sort of sense of normal soon. Your friend........Useful. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Is there much of the bitter limè zest frome the blr showing through on the nose or palate?

Well, without personal experience with BLSR I cannot truthfully attest, but it does hint non Citrus lime funk. There were times, she actually released a putrid, freshly deposited, cat turd stench. I haven't tasted it myself either, I very rarely smoke cannabis, I'm an edible user, but my old lady said it had that "really good weed" flavor. Im gonna drop a sample on another seasoned veteran fry head, without telling him the name, just to see if he calls lime.
This is the first seed of the pack, the second was a boy I didn't have time or space to keep, but I'll be looking for another version soon, although I have clones of this one, in action, for the time being.

the BLSR is one of the ones that are under OPPR (Open Pollination Preservation Run) due to the caliber I've heard coming out of that pack... Looking at my list it seems the only ones I don't have under OPPR are usefuls fems and current cultivars that I am content with (ie his Appalachian Oranges which is spread amongst my group to prevent loss). Depending on what life is like starting in September I am going to cross Usefuls (Chem D x Banana OG) to AKBBs (TKNL5Haze x Black Dom.). I just germed the AKBBs and am hoping I find at least one stud male to preserve his pollen and hit the Chem D with it. The honest purpose being to preserve the dankness of the Chem D (hell, even the clones smell like dank) and attempting to amplify its potency with the AKBB offering. The game plan being to get pollen from the (TKNL5Haze x Black Dom.) and then pollinate a single Chem D in a solo cup so I don't end up with over 10k seeds... I really need to just set up a different thread so I don't congest usefuls thread.
