Checking on the Bhadra last nite, almost confirmed that she is Only a huge facility for generating Seeds; to be used by You and Me.
The autoflowers now lead the dance at the start of their 9th week, with life extensions anticipated from the BBP applications (6x). Targeting / Anticipating a week 12 harvest for the autos.
Bhadra may be down much sooner. Dinner knocked down to 3L.
Autos were moved up to a Gallon on a 72 hr feeding pattern; 6.4 pH
Auto Zamaldelica is looking dangerous in mid-week #9 (below). We are now Into the BBP-zone of extended Harvests, with bulging, firm and gooey buds happening on both strains
OK, Bhadra photos, then some Bud porn…
9 images taken last night of the structures on the plant, week 23. Question was do I really need to keep this Seed Momma going? Are there any THC etc opportunities? Is it time?
Kept the shots as Real as possible… Here you go Gang
Just finishing a zamaldelica express (night owl) and its fantastic. Strong pineapple smell and early samples show a potent, long lasting effect. Will totally grow again. Luckily I had two males with the one female.
Thanks for the update. I’m so looking forward to this Zam.
2 years ago it grew, 12” tall and confused. I felt embarrassed…
This ones a winner !
(ps, with the destiny of the Bhadra on edge right now, I am cranking UP the Lite schedule Just for the Autos; 10 => 14 hrs tonight for a few days, then 100% back to 18/6 for the last 3 weeks or whatever it takes…)
I’m taking down Bhadra tonight, it’ll hang for a bit, then we’ll chase her seeds. See what can be salvaged… with 3 charging autos and 6 months of sharing stories and beans, its been a journey.
But more importantly, These Tough autoflowers have me thinking like @defharo.
Once the plants get used to a Normal day of light again ie: currently running on a 10/14 lite schedule.
*Illuminate without Mercy” is on my Mind for these Autos
There were no issues getting any of these original 15 seeds to Pop, from the 5 strains.
The Other 3, seed-bearing plants seeds, have popped already. That, I really needed to know
There has been a lot of dialogue @Pigeonman@Tlander and others, that are using Hot water to Huge success in Germination rates. today I did not realize the temp was THAT hot… Kettle had not reached boil… 62C. Looks like the bar is raised already
Confirming Bhadra’s viability today, I thought it a good time to turn things Up for a public finding with these fresh Beans
Super-Hot in open cup / Hottest tap-Water in full-jar then insulated / lukewarm water in open cup
I use water, as hot as I can get it from my tap, I never boil it, but I do put it in a mason jar, seal it and I use a little six pack cooler to keep it in for 24 hours. Then, if they don’t have any tails, they get put into a paper towel. I have never germinated a bean any other way.
