Okay, took these pics earlier today. I was planning on posting them tomorrow morning, but I can’t sleep tonight, so I figured I’d post them now. Hopefully I’ll get tired while I’m writing this…
Diesel Therapy #2 flower day 30:
I like how “nug-y” she looks, but she doesn’t make me think of any Sour Diesel I’ve ever seen. Granted, I’ve only ever seen “live plant” Sour Diesel online, in pics, but still… I’ve seen lots of dried flowers and nothing so far is making me think of Sour Diesel. Anyway, here’s a few closeups:
And here’s the lone Purple Corinto Budder x A5Thai:
I’m not real thrilled about those brown pistils this early (and she’s not the only one), pretty sure shit got pollinated. I will say, though, that she smells un-fucking-believable. I don’t “search” for smells while plants are flowering, don’t really bother with stem rubs or anything, I just wait until they’re dried and cured, but it’s hard not to notice this one. I first picked up on how strong she smelled a few days ago, but today was just unreal: meat-y bubblegum (sounds gross, but it isn’t) and super-strong classic floral “purple weed” smells, along with a lot of other stuff. Very complex, but easy to pick out all the smells, too, if that makes sense. The bubblegum, though, was very prevalent today, pretty much overwhelming everything. Or maybe actually “enhancing” everything, I don’t really know how to put it. I"m sure it’ll continue to change, but fuck me, man, she smells delicious.
Anyway, here’s the Imperial Majesty #1, flower day 30:
She’s lanky… I actually staked and tied her pretty heavily after I took those pics. Staked and tied pretty much everything else, too.
Despite how frosty she and some of the other plants’ closeups look, to the naked eye there’s actually a distinct lack of frost. Maybe it’s just because we’re on day 30, but I suspect it’s because shit got pollinated. I’ve also been having a very difficult time keeping humidity levels anywhere near close to an ideal range; been hovering between 29 and 36% almost constantly, even though I have five fucking humidifiers running. It’s really, really dry where I live right now… So I dunno if that has anything to do with it, but yeah, nothing’s really looking all that frosty. Maybe everything will later…
Imperial Majesty #2 flower day 30:
Both of the Imperial Majesties are extremely “OG-ish”-looking to me, structure-wise. There’s also a distressingly-high ratio of brown pistils-to-white this early, not sure if I’ve already mentioned my fears of pollination haha…
And here’s the Dread Bread #1, flower day 30:
She was the one that I was like,“Ohhhhh, I dunnoooo, I don’t like her structure…” the last time I posted pics, all like,“I don’t think she’s gonna yield all that well…” but I’m digging her more and more every day. I think she’s gonna turn out real good.
And the Dread Bread #2, my favorite, flower day 30:
Both of the Dread Breads are right in the running with the Purple Corinto in the “Best-Smelling Plant” category. The DB’s both smell kind of like what you’d expect, considering the genetics: very spicy and fruity and just really, really good. I’m excited about them, for sure, no doubt about it.
So, yeah, those are the further-along plants. I’ve been sticking to my usual “Oh, I guess I’ll water them with a lil…” whatever routine. No rhyme or reason. I watered them (and the younger plants) with some K silicate today and top-dressed with some MBP, too. I’ve actually been trying to make sure to topdress with MBP every two weeks; I’m not sure how exact my schedule’s been, I’d have to check my notes, but I’m hoping that that mayyyyyybe has something to do with the brown pistils? Hopefully?
Anyway… Both of the Sour Diesel x Dragon Energy plants turned out male, so I trashed those a few days ago. And that leaves me with the Diesel Therapy #3, the one Blueberry x Silver Lotus #1 and the Outer Limits #2, as far as the younger plants are concerned. Here’s the Diesel Therapy #3, flower day 11:
And the Blueberry x Silver Lotus #1, flower day 11:
There really hasn’t been much of a change in these two plants in a few weeks. I think transplanting them while they were autoflowering wasn’t the greatest course of action, but I thought they’d maybe kinda “spring to life” or something once I got them in bigger pots. I dunno. Never had plants autoflower before. In any event, I’m debating how much longer I’m gonna leave them in the tent before I trash them. If they don’t start doing something really soon, they’re gone; they look pretty much exactly the same as they did like two weeks ago. I also realized a few days ago that I hadn’t yet hit the young plants with a compost tea after I transplanted them, so I watered them (and the older plants, too, because why not?) with one a few days ago, but it doesn’t seem to have made a difference for the Diesel #3 and the Blueberry/Silver Lotus.
However, it did seem to make a big difference with the Outer Limits #2. Flower day 11:
She got pretty frosty almost immediately after I watered with that compost tea, so I may keep her around. I’m really debating, like,“Should I keep these tiny plants around and see what they do and harvest, like, ten grams off of them? Or would it be better to just make some room for the ‘legit’ plants and let them make up the difference?” I dunno. I really have no idea. I suspect that I’ll be trashing them at some point pretty soon, though…
Anyway, yeah, there’s some pics haha.
