Happy New Year Everyone!

***UPDATE*** Now the girls are 2 weeks into flower stage and guess what showed up! 2 of the girls were found to be hermaphroditing right in the middle of the plant stalks below the beautiful buds that were now really starting to show!!! Oh the frustration!!! So doing a complete top to bottom inspection of all my girls, these were the only 2 that "crossed over". They were just barely starting to show clusters of bananas and balls. had to dispose of these immediately as I found 1 had already burst towards the flower below it. NOT GOOD! I cannot believe this happened at such an early stage but so glad I spotted it when I did, otherwise I would not have known until much later; I went thru this before and had a batch come out super seedy and did not see it until it was too late, won't get fooled again!!!

I will really have to keep a keen eye on the rest that it left!!!

***UPDATE*** - The girls are now 3 weeks into flower and looking good so far. Still kind of mystified why or how the other 2 girls/boys I got rid of changed on me??? Today watered with Beastie Bloomz only and Cal/Mag. Will post pics later on today...

***UPDATE*** - Sorry for the late post but here are the girls at 4 weeks 3 days into flower...

***UPDATE*** - Good morning! So today marks my girls at 7 1/2 weeks old into flower, getting close to harvest time! I was going to give them their last feeding today but since it's getting close to harvest I think I may do my flushing today. 2 weeks they will be at 10 weeks into flower and my last grow I picked at weeks 8, then 9. I also know they are getting close as I had to start propping up branches that were starting flop over! Here is plant #1:

***UPDATE*** So today marks 8 weeks 3 days into flower. Decisions, decisions. I am almost tempted to cut 1 today as it looks like it's right in that area where it says "I'm ready!" The other 3, 1 still not at hair color change and the other 2 are now starting to change color. Time to break out the microscope and get a good look at the 1 I think is getting close to where I want it.

Those are calendar worthy shots nugget man.

Look better than most seed bank pics. Beautiful.

***UPDATE*** Happy Mother's Day. I decided today to cut down Plant 1 as I checked my trichomes this morning. This sativa was picked at 8 weeks 3.5 days old today. Very nice skunky aroma to it as it was getting trimmed and very sticky.

***update*** 5/12/2022 Thursday marks 9 weeks and 1 day into flower. 3 Sativa's left. In the past growing these is where i learned my mistakes as to how far you can push it until you went too far because you waited "that little bit longer?". And my last grow I did not go the full Sativa "window" of 10-12 weeks for indoors. I picked at weeks 8 and 9 and here I am 9 weeks and day later. 1 for sure looks pretty darn close and the other 2 are not quite there yet as you can see... Plant 1:

 

[NuggetMan]

Here's the catch... I do still see a lot of new growth as compared to the matured red hairs so here is where I'm kind of iffy about harvesting this one yet BUT again here I am in daily checking mode...

Plant #2:

 

[NuggetMan]

As you can see, this one has more white than colored hairs which tells me it's just now starting to mature more... Not close to Plant 1...

 

[Ckbrew]

It is close, looks like foxtails. I believe I see nanners in the first pix. Probably to close to harvest to make a difference.

 

[NuggetMan]

And lastly Plant #3:...

 

[NuggetMan]

You can definitely see there is a lot of white hairs than there is colored, so I am tending to think this one is definitely behind as compared to the other 2 plants.

I also see that all 3 of these all look very similar so makes me also think these are all the same strain, but I have no clue what it could be.

Have so say though, they are looking good and the aroma is unbelievable. So far!

Not like my last grow so I gotta be careful with these... Definitely different for sure....

 

[NuggetMan]

At first I also thought that too but actually they turned out to be very swollen calyxs.

Lost 2 earlier from this grow to hermaphroditism, right in the middle of the stems, so i can see your point of view. This 1 may come down by this week end and have to follow the other 2 as they get more mature like this one...

No matter what, it's always a guess when to do the deadly deed... but get it just right!

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well you must of done right by these plants great job cause they look beautiful NuggetMan i can almost smell them

 

[NuggetMan]

Thank you. Believe it or not when I come home and walk thru the garage, OH YEAH! But these 3 are most definitely a different breed and seeing what's been going on daily, I think these are more prone to be lengthy plants as far as time, as compared to my last grow and time harvested. Next Wednesday they will be at 10 weeks into flower. I picked at 9 weeks last grow, so to say different breeds, different strains...
