Week 4 (21 days left) 5-15-23
A2 is now starting the rapid yellowing I saw in the mother. So it’s a safe bet this one is pretty close to the parent. The more the mother opened up the nugs kept getting bigger. Tops already look bigger only at 4 weeks than mothers full mature tops. I do think the NL2 added the size I was hoping for.
B3 Now this actually looks like the yielder, and just about perfect stacking cola structure. I do see these as the biggest of all, and yes definitely larger than mother.
B4 I see more fatness than length here. The tops will still be heavy when done, but it’s also super compact so overall chunky fat nugs throughout could be more. That would be wild if B4 yields more. It would also tell us the cola doesn’t necessarily yield higher than more fatter nugs do.
From this point it gets to the fastest stacking and glands begin increasing the coverage, almost the way G13 goes ballistic in production. It definitely appears BOTH follow the same pattern as parents, with the benefit of added size to A and a longer cola structure on B that have more mixed traits than B4 95% copy of its parent. I did say the mixed trait plants could be better overall. I think this is proving accurate. Right now I’m still NOT finding anything to criticize that needs “improvement” in, so it may just pass all criteria met.
@Rabeats2093 should be about done and I imagine it’s even frostier than 6 days ago. I don’t know how much further beyond 7 weeks for a higher amber ratio you’d want. I wouldn’t go past week 8 if that’s what you prefer. You also still have the B version to grow too
Personally, I consider mature seed as the tail end of gland cloudy/amber ratios before degradation and oxidation begins. I’ll just say to use week 7 generally as the benchmark and past that is personal preference to amber ratio
Looking nice @Greenfingers That one looks like the best I have BX1 really short and compact stature.
Unfortunately BX2 is another late male. Luckily I decided to take cuts of BX3, so I’ll have 2 to compare later. Variegation here is very light, to almost none showing up. I’ll continue the BX to F5, which should be closer to the cubed phase of a new Xmas incredibly potent. Watch, I WILL make Xmas Bud become top shelf OG Kush level when completed.
@420noob just might prove how ideal CripXmas is to grow minimal veg and SOG style. Again, wild if the plan you thought out proves to be the most productive of all grows going.

2 A cuts and NL2 planted to 1 gall today
I think the outdoors part is going to be a spectacle to witness 
Going to be a hell of a summer watching everyone 
Everything looks great on your end and picking up fast, and the NLC (we’ll call it that for short) could be your special plant at the end. It definitely has girth in the mains. Certainly will tell me the pollen collected has a lot of the new Xmas contained in it. Also shows the potential of other cultivars being crossed to CripXmas hint hint 
.deff looking frosty and I Am EXCITED
Can’t wait to hear the final results/smoke report 
I do feel confident it’s going to deliver just like I described.
3rd pic is INSANE coverage and colors. That is even MORE than mother!!! I knew the NL2 would pump it further and I can even see the blue of TC. Those DEFINITELY look ready to chop. Nobody should have any doubts seeing what you’ve just finished. Brother, you have my utmost gratitude for a fine job and if you can do better, it would be amazing to see it, but what you’ve done is beyond expectation in my standards
