Well it’s been a minute, time for an update!
This is day 41 of flower.
I haven’t given them a haircut in a bit, its getting jungly…
Time to pull these ladies out and give em a proper defo.
I didn’t get any pictures on the right side before the defo. I got started, my fingers get sticky and I dont wanna goo my phone. This is just after I switched sides and also gloves. I’ve pulled the strawberry cough out…
Smells amazing, really looking forward to it!
She’s a very well behaved passenger, doing great, and except for a few shady leaves she got a big fat helping of everyone’s favourite product.
Thankfully, LITFA can be applied as a foliar on a case by case basis, which is a great feature, because with Diamonds onboard there can be no adding it to the res this round!
Diamond Kush is not ideally suited to captivity, and honestly prefers a more spacious environment. One day I’ll get a chance to run her as a tree outdoors… someday girl, I promise…
Ah hell, she’s trying to climb into the cockpit again!
Ok I wrestled her outta the back seat and, well, she’s all kinds of messy. Been misbehaving back there where it’s hard to get at her.
Lemme just get cleaned up a bit here and… oh. Wow.
An hour later, my arms smell so delicious my wife will probably try to smoke em! She’s looking much better now, all clean and lean and ready to stack on the green!
I sure took a lot off though, so many stupid little twisty leaves clogging up the airflow in the back. Got the unruly colas that were smashing into the light pulled back better as well.
That entire pile came from just the one Diamond on the back left side.
This is a shot of the left side with both sites pulled out. I didn’t have a good shot of how the deck worked in my first tour so I thought I should throw one in while I had the ladies out. You can see my hacked intake vents as well. Loose wires are for 12v fans that aren’t in at the moment
I’ve also had what I think is good news of a different kind. A few days back I posted about these…
Well now they look like this.
Soooooooo… In pretty sure I’m a little bit pregnant for the first time! Pretty excited.
I had some questions about the process but I thought it would be better to break them off into their own thread, just to make the data more accessible for future growers. It seemed like the more useful way to do it, but if it’s considered more polite to keep it all in my own thread I’d like to know.
Long story short, I think I have successfully pollinated a branch of both the Strawberry Cough and the Diamond Kush with female pollen from another tiny Diamond Kush. The full story is here…
I hope I’m not too late to get some viable seed off them, hit em on the morning of day 39, running her 63 days so cutting it a little close. We’ll see!
That’s it for this time, thanks to everyone for stopping by!
