12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

the four-day dark at the end is to get rid of all the water she has and bring the resin production up they will actually try in coat their leaves to keep them from burning

they're just stupid plants we are a lot smarter than them

4 day night at the chop is to use up ALL remaining reserves, get rid of AS MUCH WATER as possible...........
They WILL also create more goo.............natural reaction.................try to coat the leaves in resin to prevent burning or wind damage............

YES.........run side by side................25 years ago...................been doing it this way since..................

Haha...yeah I know I do...the best and worst part of the experience. Thanks man...I'm really pleased with how things are turning out. I've been keeping tabs on yours too and it won't be long til they start budding...they look amazing.

Day 84 Update - Day 59 Flower

5 plants came down today. Both Skunk #1's, both Northern Lights and the Critical Sensi Star.
CORRECTION: The plants that came down were Skunk #1, Critical Kush and Critical Sensi Star.

First, a couple of group shots of the 5




And some more shots after the preliminary trim



I've decided to save all of the specs such as total height, cola height, etc. until the end when I can include dry pictures and weight.

Tent is starting to show some nice autumn colors. Lots of purple/browns going on. From here on out I'll check daily and see what looks to be ready. I'm trying to harvest near or right before their peak. I'm trying to not get much amber but I am trying to wait until I see some amber as an indication they are ready or near ready. These 5 all had plenty of amber...maybe 5 to 10%. I'm having difficulty distinguishing between clear and cloudy.

beautiful great colors and super frosty great job

With these first 8, I'm seeing a lot of variance in the quality beneath the top cola. For example, on one of the Skunk #1's, every single bud site beneath the top cola sucked. For the other 7 plants, it has varied a lot. The critical cheese, for example, had bud sites that were awesome. Every single one except for the 2 buds sitting on top of the coco were keepers.

Any bud site that is either too airy or too small is being thrown onto the drying rack and will ultimately go into one big jar and will not be counted or weighed. This jar will become the variety jar...should be fun. As a stoned Forest Gump might say, life is like a jar of buds...you never know what you're gunna get.

AWESOME............Those were finished very well sir!!! Gonna have a lot of different quality smoke. Your gonna LOVe having variety..........
Good job on the trim too!!!

I'm taking your advice and not trimming too close on the 1st pass. Leaving some material to slow the dry down.

Is your critical cheese by Dinafem? And throught the whole 12/12 it's all been flowered under your 600?

Click to expand...

Yep...
#20 - Dinafem Seeds Critical Cheese
65% sativa, 35% indica
Fruity lemon, pine, perfume, cheese
55 to 60 days
THC: 19%
CBD: 0.3%

And yes, I've run the 600 the entire time. I got a little OCD with switching between HPS and MH and I ultimately decided that I wanted to see how the MH performed. Thru 84 days, the HPS was only on for 17 days total (if I remember correctly).

Day 85 Update - Day 60 Flower

Harvested the Bubble Seeds Bubble Bomb tonight. Pretty poor showing from her. She seemed overly nutrient sensitive and is pretty small. Smells lovely though.
I have the first official weigh-in's.

The G13 Haze comes in at 4.9 Grams. She is the one that I had to take super early because of nanners and was the smallest plant.
The Critical Cheese comes in at 12.7 Grams...I am extremely pleased with this one.

Bubble Bomb before I chopped her:



And here are some other random shots with a coke can for size reference:




And finally one of the Skunk #1's Top Cola hanging:

Always coca cola best coke ad I've ever seen

Ahhh i really want a stain that changes color they look so good the frost on them girls is insane my jack is not frosty makes me rage

the bubblegum makes up for it Looking great as always they are all coming down one by one you are really going to have some great smoke on your hands make sure you label them all looking forward to the smoke report wish i was there to enjoy it with you

The 1st shot with the coke can is the 2nd Flowerbomb kush. She's not as gnarly as the 1st one but she's foxtailing bad now. Very weird plant...almost mutant.

I want that Bubble Bomb it looks awesome

Freaking Sweet M8

Looks yummy indeed. Killer frosty, sticky, oooey, gooey and a bag of chips!

Many Thanx for the Bud Porn.

Peace and Great Grows

Day 86 Update - Day 61 Flower

I'm going to have a very large set of updates for tonight. I harvested around 1/2 of the remaining plants. A f ew of these are simply amazing...no other words I can use to describe them. I hope my camera does them justice. There are still 9 or 10 plants left and I have saved what I think are the best ones for last. I have to leave town for a few days in a few days so I will be harvesting the final group sometime next week. I hope the ones that I think will be the best will prove me right

Sensi Seeds Silver Haze #9
31" Tall
7" Cola
Not very dense
INSANE Resin. This is the most resinous plant I have ever seen in person. Hope the pictures will do her justice. I couldn't bring myself to even trim the sugar leaves closely the resin is so caked on them.

Delicious Seeds Critical Jack Herer
41" Tall
6" Cola

All of the lower sites are keepers..pretty cool since the really low stuff got zero light.

Hey were the weights on the girls were after they were dried right? I had a feeling your critical cheese would probably weight the most based on your pic before you chopped her. During your 12/12 grow did most of your grows have a minimum side branching? Did you have any issues where you had to remove any side branches?
