Cheers. If youā€™re on a book quest and donā€™t have it already Marijuana Botany by Clarke is a must have.

The hash one I showed you is a bit folksy. The botany is all sciencey.

All the best.

Yes they will.
@Old-Ron I was about to ask you how many years flowering for this one LOL!!! I wouldnā€™t say thereā€™s any question as to Purity is there? I hope you can stand waiting another few months for the Cure. Tough to do after waiting so long! Happy to hear its already good!

first is the one normal"ish" tlt jam Long flower in week 13 of flower. Testing the theory as to if seeds can be made in 20 minutes or not. I pollinated one small Bud earlier today prior to a thunderstorm. Iā€™m not expecting any seeds but others have said it only takes 20 minutes for fertilization. I always thought it took at least 12 hours and waited a day in the past before washing plants off. We shall see.
Huixtepec coming along slowly. Definitely a 16-20 week flower from seedšŸ˜ and thatā€™s a great sign itā€™s pure. Thereā€™s most surely some purple calyxes in my favorite which is also the largest and most resinous. I have read that cold nights before flowering can induce partial purple calyxes in Oaxacan strains, possibly due to their growing altitude. I have also seen it happen from cold temperatures late in flowering with Old Silversides.

Not very good pictures. Will get better ones soon. They do this one no justice.

Iā€™m really loving these plants! My only regret is that I didnā€™t do the irresponsible thing and plant more seeds.
That 2 month old plant looks like it will be a tree! Iā€™ve seen pictures of a 22 foot Cannabis plant from Mexico. This looks like a contender!

Thatā€™s it. Now I have to try growing it in a 6ā€™ tent.

The secret to this is to train it to grow into a spiral!

I tried to train a plant around the outside of a 15 gal grow bag once. Turned into an awful mess haha. It was going well until the branches started growing in towards the center, all into/over each other. Maybe go with a larger diameter circle haha. It was a zamaldelica express. Good smoke though. :+1:

22 feet? Thatā€™s like 7 meters, God damn oO

Maybe trimming the inside of the circle before flowering could work better ??
I tried growing bushes crush n bend style but when they grew bigger I could only water from one spot, so I would just dumped some water and rotated the ā€˜puddleā€™ till I felt it was uniform. :laughing:
I often wonder how lst-ers and scroggers water their pots without sub irrig (maybe wrong term)

1/4 turn each day, water in the same spot = 4x diffent spots. Lst to the pot vs to a screen, and till the top layer of soil every few days to ensure no poolong.

In hindsight, yeah thatā€™s the easy solution. At the time I was hung up on ā€œitā€™s an auto, if I do anything itā€™ll stop!ā€ Have since figured out that you can pretty much whoop on them, and theyā€™ll keep chugging.

As to the lst and watering question, we struggle haha. And get a watering can with a looooong spout :+1:

Not really pooling, the water never sat more than a few secs on the soil surface (very aerated, b bizz light mix and added perlite) . The crush n bend I did only on the bigger plants, but somewhat sideways to let me pour in the feedā€¦ Never tried a real lst or scrog
Your halfquarter turn style I saw in your thread really helped with the smaller pot popsicles soggers.
In any case, pls forgive me for derailing the thread. I only happened to grow bagseeds that were fast finishers, and autos.
Never understood the narrow leaf people, but I never tasted them eitherā€¦
What is so special (apart from the beauty and smell/taste) in them?
I have smoked hybrids that were pretty narrow leafers and the high was too racyā€¦ I mean, really racy, I needed a beer or two to calm the hell down, no trippy highs felt like most people say about crazy thais and hazes
Ahhh I need to learn how to tag multiple ids

Sorry for derailing this thread
