SG's 2008 Outdoor Purps and White Russian Breeding

It's been a bit hotter lately. The 8 week mark for the remaining plants is coming up quick (7/21) and The only one that has any chance of being done by then is the White Russian. I will be flushing again tomorrow. The plants are getting 10+ hours a day of strong summer sun - you couldn't ask for better finishing weather.

And then there were three...

I have been inspecting the plants twice daily every day since I found the SnS with bugs all over it. Today I noticed that the OG Kush was getting really bad at the bottom with a combination of thrips and aphids with a ton of eggs on the bottom of a few leaves.

I chopped her down. To my surprise she was actually very close to ready. I probably would have chopped her on the 21st. I think her small size accounted for the lack of leaf loss up to this point. She was getting the same level of ferts as the bigger plants so her leaves lasted longer. At least that's my theory.

I got about 10 good seeds during the manicure, I will wait until the bud is dried before I go rooting around the buds to pick out all the seeds. But they look good. I will be working with these WR x OGK seeds first this winter to begin crafting my own strain. I am excited!

The attached pics are right before the chop.

I was busy yesterday so I didn't have time to update or take pics. The Purps seems to be "catching up" to the rest of the plants in that it has matured quite a bit over the last week or two. The WR is definitely filling in and hardening up. She may be done at the 8 week mark ( Monday ). The little Bubba Kush is moving along very slow even though she is going to be out of leaves in another week.

Have a great weekend

Watered heavy today. The WR is pretty much done, and looks fantastic. I only topped one of these WRs this year, I may top them all next time. The yield should be great. The Purps is getting there, but will need at least 9 weeks to finish I am guessing. The little Bubba Kush is the next target of the bugs that run wild this year. She has another week or two to go, but I may have to chop her before all the buds get ruined by bugs. ( I do not smoke buds that are covered in dead bugs, and I would never sell them to anyone ) so I'll just keep an eye on her.

I will give the Purps another week or even two if needed as long as the bugs remain at bay. The WR is pretty much DONE, but I will give her another 3-7 days.

I sampled some of the OG Kush I have drying. It hasn't even hit the curing jars yet and I can tell it's the best smoke I have ever grown, and probably some of the best I have ever smoked. Period. The taste is superb, and it is VERY strong with an extremely Psychedelic high. Now I REALLY can't wait to grow out those F1s .
