07/16 Sorry for the lack of updates - life got busy on this side of the keyboard.
Herijuana 4x8 – 7 weeks flowering
If taste and effects are anywhere close to how these smell and look - then I’ve found my first Keeper.
-Aroma - the off aromas are totally gone. No more used diapers! Now I’m getting a strong funk/skunk - it’s overwhelming my cf a bit. Smelling hands after working with the plants reveals aromas like tropical punch concentrate, plums, WEED, and some skunk trying to escape from the background. - Can’t wait to cure this one!
I’m having a slight problem with the largest two plants trying to fall over - they’re stacking aggressively. — more silica next grow.
One Heri has some rust colored pistils, all are still throwing short, white pistils daily - no sign of slowing down.
Strawberry Kush 4x8 – 8.5 weeks flowering
It’s become increasingly clear that I need to stay away from concentrates when I’m popping seeds - 5 of the 10 “Strawberry Kush” are almost certainly NOT.
The SK are still throwing long, thick white hairs and have a very noticeable berry scent - like Strawberry Jam. (This fades out altogether in curing, leaving a Kush aroma).
A few weeks - still. It’s looking like the Herijuana might harvest first, even though they were planted second!
!!! 4 of my plants are tiny - 12-18 inches tall, and very short branches. - 1 ounce each if I’m lucky… They’re also finishing - now. Fall colors came quickly and Trichs went cloudy, but not very amber before I was forced to harvest.
Gassy / rubbery scents dominate - even on one of the two plants I have hanging.
!!! 1 plant might be an SK pheno - she’s structurally the same as the other SK, but looks as though it’s going to black-out with a burgundy color before harvest.
The scent has a nice berry overtone that makes me wonder if she’s SK, or another berry of some sort.
Breeding Tent
- The boys have done their work and both girls are growing seeds like crazy.
- I knew they would die after dropping their pollen, but it was weird to watch the girls getting bigger and looking healthy while the boys just died while getting the same treatment.
- Both girls are spectacular plants, but one is noticeably larger, more productive - and - it’s an absolute frost show! As such, their seeds will be kept separate in hopes I can pheno-hunt those traits. in future runs.
- The scent is slightly different than the 4x8 virgins - somehow heavier and a little “darker” aromas.
I’ll get some pics at lights on.
