looking good! So these are the ones you carried back & forth every day? that is dedication! Have you been able to leave them in place now with the shorter days?
Hi @Muleskinner Thanks.
I move them indoors every evening and back out each morning, but not only for uniform 12 ½ hrs. dark/11 ½ hrs. light. I don’t like to leave plants outside overnight…that is when PM and bud blight sink their filthy claws into the innocent flowers.
I also move my plants indoors if any foul weather threatens. The trichomes can easily be damaged by a driving, torrential rain. Gale force winds can also create big problems. I won’t mention hail!
So, I like to use easily portable containers which can be quickly moved to shelter, and then back outside when the coast is clear.
I think it is important to protect the trichomes from potential degradation in order to maximize potential potency.
That is why I no longer put plants in the ground, and I only use containers no larger than two gallons.
…If anybody else would like a go at testing these, and could do so in a timely manner with a few updates here-and-there… just t@g me in this thread.
They are (Greenhouse Seeds) Super Lemon Haze x (TGA) JesusOG
How long does the SLH take to finish ( i think this cross would be probably go 10/12 weeks ) eh .?
Great beans mate im sure you’ll have a few people ready to crack them, so I’ll pass on this one bro , though I’ll be watching them grow out when they are run…
How is your Bohdi Tree etc coming on mate.? Looking forward to running some more @LED_Seedz gear and I’ll prob do a mix of his strains i have…
Anyway you have a a great day bro,

No it’s really fast actually. +/-56 days and its swollen and amber.
LED_Seedz Bodhi Tree are mere days from 12/12 Took a few clones off each of them yesterday
I have my big boy camera working, so I thought I would clarify the appearance of the Cromjog sisters today.
Looks like a decent density, and starting to build some glands too Hopefully they get some nice flavor. Are they in 2 gallon pots?
Mine are in 10 gallons and the wind has tipped a few over today. How do you deal with windy days in the smaller pots?
Only one of them is in a two gallon…the runt.
The others are in only .66 gallon containers.
Super easy to move around.
I like to dig holes just a little larger than the containers, then pop the containers into the holes.
Or I just brace them (containers) up against the prevailing wind… I use anything handy that is heavy enough to wedge up against the containers to prevent toppling.
bags of compost, soil or mulch work great! so do large rocks.
It’s just the SLH is 8 weeks + / - & this cross takes…?? Have you tried any, and would the Jesus og add time to the flowering .?! Probably eh…
Anyway i enjoyed your Blueberry , twas really tasty .!
Speak again later mate ,

Both SLH and JesusOG are fully done in 8 weeks +/- few days. So I’m hoping for an 8 week hybrid. I haven’t grown any yet though, seeds are fresh.
The CromJOG cross seems to be finishing fast for Calyxander, despite the C99/Romberry taking 9+ weeks on it’s own. So my hopes are high for a fast finisher here. Medium-stretching is likely though.
Edit: I should specify, SLH and Jesus-OG are 8 weeks, from clone. I haven’t flowered a seedling in a long time. Usually takes a bit longer, I think?
Oh the calamity!
A particularly virulent strain of botrytis has afflicted my poor, innocent, little CromJog girls. I lost almost all of the main colas to sickening mold. Managed to salvage a decent amount of clean buds from each plant however. Still, excruciatingly sad to see the destruction of fine flowers.
I lost ¼ to ⅓ of potential harvest.
They were about 55 days into flowering.
I was going to take them soon anyway.
Fortunately, the buds all appear enticing and promising.
I will report on quality of smoke in due time.
Dang, Calyxander! That is a nightmare
Sorry to hear that.
Thanks for the kind words.
It could have been so much worse.
I inspected the plants twice a day…I was able to save a substantial amount of buds from each plant. The bud blight hit very quickly, and If I did not act decisively to limit my losses, it would have devastated the entire crop. Super aggressive botrytis.
Probably the nastiest I have ever seen.
South Carolina has plenty of sun and decent weather, but also the most virulent botrytis I have ever witnessed.
I am anxious to get back to SoFla.
Sorry to hear of your bud rot @Calyxander , sucks big time when you get to near harvest time and then hit very quick with botyritus…!
I hope you recover well from this setback mate ,
Happy growing/smoking ,
Gaz.
I know your pain. It’s a gamble outdoors with new genetics.
All my indoor keepers are are botrytis resistant strains due to past heartbreaks. I recently had some c99 start to rot at 65-70% RH
I also caught the start of bud rot on a C99 kola so i took it off, but a couple of weeks ago i pulled the lower buds in the kola away from the stem and it has helped with airflow etc…
I have taken a few more buds ( drying ) from the c99, and waiting on the rests’ trics to turn amber , they’re all cloudy at day 58/9 flo as of today/tonight…
