If it’s not very well illuminated or he had a snag along the way, having time to go 14 weeks wouldn’t be crazy. Even some of the chem d crosses are know to go longer and are 10-12 week plants, GMO for instance.

Here’s the other Soar I chopped ten days ago on flower day 80.
Veg day 28 (looking rough):
Veg day 52:
Veg day 60 (flipped the next day, so basically flower day one):
Flower day nine:
Flower day nineteen:
Flower day 30:
Flower day 40:
Flower day 52:
Flower day 62:
And flower day 80, which is when I chopped her (eighteen days after I chopped the other Soar):
You can see that the cola on the left-hand side had snapped in half, happened around day 70, just left it dangling, didn’t seem to bother the plant.
It happens sometimes… Case in point, this Soar plant haha. She just wouldn’t stop spitting white pistils. I only chopped her because she’d pretty much quit drinking, pots were still very heavy compared to other, younger plants the last week or so when I watered, so I figured she was done.
I do agree with zephyr and Ramblin, though, that in your friend’s case, it’s probably something that he’s doing.
Anyway, yeah, so that Soar took the longest of the three I’ve grown so far, which is a good thing in my book. The first time I grew one, I chopped her on day 56, I think, and the second one was chopped on day 62, although both of those plants looked done at, like, week six haha. Glad I found one that grew differently than those first two, for sure.
She’s still hanging, probably gonna trim and jar in the next couple days and then cure for a month or so, blahblahblah, the usual stuff…
What’re you planning on doing with all that pollen? Or rather, how do you intend to keep it all separate from one another, since all the plants are in the same area?
Also, day 51 of flower and they still haven’t started dropping? That seems like a pretty long time…

Started out attempting to make seeds outdoors over winter, 60 days @20hrs in the tent then into the greenhouse to flower. When the males showed sex I removed them and placed them outside…and this is where it wheels came off.
Girls were happy but the cold male plants fell behind in development, there has been zero pollen from the first batch of male plants that spent time outdoors…‘should’ have placed the males back into the tent…'.
I ‘may’ get pollen, but I doubt in time for the female plants. There is a second ‘wave’ of plants a month behind the first planting that has not been out in the cold, all seem well with those males…they have almost caught up with the senior plants.
No matter how it all ends up plenty has been learned, a good thing.
Your flowers look tasty.

Kush 4 x Sunshine Daydream starting to bud up nicely.
One more that I hit with BOGBubble pollen seems to have taken the pollen well.

Right, I got the gist of that from your post, but no matter the weather conditions, how were you planning on keeping the pollen separate? How would you have known which male pollinated whatever female if you have five or six males all flowering at the same time? Even if you kept the males separated from the females and were planning on doing a sorta “manual” pollination, “painting” branches or using Q-tips or whatever, how could you be certain that all of the pollen was “pure” if you have multiple males all dropping at or around the same time?
What’s the plan there? How do you think the BOGBubble male is gonna improve the Kush4/SSDD female that you’re growing? Was there a problem with Bodhi’s original cross? Did something need improving?

I have no idea if anything would be improved by that cross, but B does say if you like both strains, cross 'em. Then figure it out.

Good point… haha!

Did something need improving, not to my knowledge. I simply wanted to see what it would do crossed with BOGBubble so I picked a female with a plant structure I liked and crossed it. What it will produce only time will tell.

The ‘plan’ was to keep the boys next door in my neighbors yard as ‘separated’ as possible until they began to drop pollen then either collect that pollen or place the plants together for a couple hours fanning the pollen across the girls, a good misting then back into the greenhouse to make seed…was the plan.
What I have learned is it’s too cold where I am to keep males ‘outside’ and expect them to make pollen, inside the greenhouse no problem.
New plan is all the Spirit Hashplants are in the tent, all the 4play in the greenhouse and the males are almost ready. Hopefully I’ll get some viable seeds. I don’t care about the older female plants, thinking they are already beyond their ‘use by date’ and if they make a few seeds the birds can clean that up.

Whew just finished this thread from the start. Trying to get through the Bodhi seed and strain guide but that’s gonna take a while.
Excited to start my pack of soulmate and kashmir azad is what I’m going to start with. I got these around 2019ish so just tossing the whole packs in paper towels and not expecting them all to pop and then the female to male ratio.
My old packs are
Lemon hashplant v2
Black Triangle
Ortega Durian x snow lotus
Kashmir azad
Petrolia Headatash
And dla 7
Exited to go through them throughout the next couple cycles.
