Mr Nice :: From Seed (California Bean Bank) :: 600 WHPS

Now that a journal thats not hard to follow or read

+REP

I took pollen from a male Mr nice plant (not shown) and placed it on a lower branch of a clone received from a club with a q-tip. I did this only as an experiment, I don't think the purple bubba clone is very good quality.



I learned how to do this from another thread I had read

Both plants are getting the same nutes, they are at different times though throughout the flowering cycle. I have taken pictures of the tops of the nicest colas of the plants.

This first one I did NOT give bud blood and it is at 5 weeks 6 days !


This second one I did give bud Blood. it is at 4 weeks 3 days!


could it really possibly be just from the budblood? what do you guys think. every other environmental or nutrient variable was exactly the same.

These are images of week 7:

Lookin good man. Try flushing the blood bud one with molasses and the other without and see if there is even more of a difference. I believe the bud blood could be responsible for the difference. Keep it up!

It is week 8 for one of the plants. The buds are very light, and sticky, and pretty frosty. Not yet mature ( not many amber trichs).

Week 6 plant

For Comparison here is a plant that is two weeks behind from the same batch of seeds, however, I fed this plant bud blood in the first week of flowering and the differences when compared with the appearance from the 8 week plant makes me think that is more of a phenotypic difference, than a difference created solely by the application of "Bud Blood". The nugs are very dense, and are almost at full maturity (trichs are slowly becoming amber)

I am curious to know if anyone else has done any side by side comparisons with 'Bud Blood', and if the type of difference I found was shared by anyone else. I have also recently purchased 'Atami - Bloombastic' and I am trying it on another mr nice plant that is at 5 weeks , but that one was fed bud blood as well at week1 of 12/12.

It is now time to think about harvesting. The plants have had their main leaves removed, and are now sitting in darkness for roughly 48 hours before I cut them down and hang them up.

The plant that received 1 dose of bud blood is now finished 10 days earlier than the other. Here are up close comparison shots (these are two different plants):
No bud blood( 60 days of 12/12)


1 dose of Bud blood (50 days of 12/12)


The plant which received no bud blood looks like this:
1. Before major fan leaves were trimmed:

2. After the major leaves were removed:

3. Nug Shot
