The seedlings have only been in the flowering room for two or three days, and a few are already showing sex. The biggest seedling is an AO. We'll call it AO#1. I've got all the seedlings in 2 gallon pots untill they show sex, and then I'll transplant into 5gal buckets with ocean forest.

I put 4 of the newly flowering K2's under my 300w LED, and the other six under my 600 hps's. Hopefully the LED will preform well, and considering that they are all clones, this will be a great test for the LED. So far though, the LED covers less space than the 600's. 4 plants per LED, and 6 plants per HPS.

Of the 4 males that I culled, 3 were AO's and 1 was an AK. One male, AO#6 stands out with an amazing smell. Seriously smelled like a musty citrus vagina in a good way. I wasn't planning on breeding anything as I am space limited, but fuck that. I'm gonna breed the AO#6 male clone with the K2. The K2 is a fruity hash plant that is the most resinous plant I've ever smoked(potentially). Hopefully the results will be great.

As for the Querkles, I harvested on friday. I know I should have waited longer, but I am restricted on time. I'm graduating in December, and I want to put my house on the market in January, so it was essential that I started flowering the AO's, AK's, and others now. I'll have pics up of the querkle harvest up shortly. Have a great sunday:weed:

Well the Querkle have been cut for a few days now, and I will have dry weights soon. The 2 hermies that I cut earlier(when I found seeds) in the growth cycle did more damage than I thought. Almost all of the plants are seeded. The one with the greatest yield is riddled with seeds, and the rest are slightly less seeded. I guess I knew this was going to happen, but the seeds are easily visible now that the buds are almost dry. I think I may grind up the most seeded parts and make cannabutter and hash. Its a bummer, fuck hermies.
Anybody know a good cannabutter recipe/method?

Got 91 grams from the biggest plant, really good smoke, but tons of seeds. Will have a full smoke report after I a few days in the Jar.

total weight: 378.3 grams / 5 plants averaging 2.7 oz. per plant.

Smell: Sweet, Lemony, funky, skittles. The biggest plant as a little bit different smell. That of purple musty. Smell in the jar is 8.5/10

Taste: Great taste in a vape. Very sweet and spice. Tastes like it smells. 8/10

High: Even though these buds are extremely seeded the high is really strong. Lasts 2-3 hours even for heavy smokers. Kinda mind numbing, and body relaxing. 9/10

Overall a very choice smoke that yields okay. Very dense. Watch for hermies when growing Querkle from seed though.

Overall rating 8/10 simply because of the Hermies. I will grow TGA seeds again.

Pic 3 is an AO. 5 is one of the most mature K2's, they've still got a couple weeks. Just started to flush them. Pic 17 is one of the AK's, nice tight nodes on this plant. You can see the bud structure starting to form. Pic 7 clones, im probably going to give away, because i plan on moving.

Pic 6 is one of the K2's that I put in late. Pictures 6 and 12 were put into flowering the same time under the HPS, then at day 13 I moved 4 of these under the LED. They've been changed for 13 more days now, so 26 days in flowering, and I can't tell a difference in lighting. The buds look identical. :weed:

Lately i've been trimming the top fan leaves off the flowering plants. I mean cutting all of the fan leaves that shade lower buds. I first tested it on the 2 K2's that I put in the flowering room first. I feel that this method is working because the lower buds are fattening up nice. It doesn't seem to be stressing the plants at all. I plan on "Top Popping" half of the AO's/Ak's and seeing what kind of yield and density this brings.
:peace:

Found 2 hermies today. One AO, and one AK. Two great looking plants, except for the male stamens of course. Fuck, am I doing something wrong or is this a breeder's mishap? Has anybody had any problems with AK-48 (Nirvana) or Agent Orange going hermie? I've checked for light leaks, and there is nothing shining through.

Any words of advice would be appreciated.
 
those querkles... wow. im just starting my third week of flowering querkle(first grow) I REALLY hope they turn out like yours! great job man.

Dude, mine turned out great, except they were extremely seedy. Watch for hermies early with this strain, unless you got them from clone. Two of mine turned out to be hermaphrodites. The AO's im growing right now had one turn hermie in like the third week of flowering. Just be wary of those bisexual bitches, because they'll fuck you every time! :weed:

Some pics of the 600w HPS K2's that I cut down yesterday. I'll have some pics of the ones that were under my 300w LED today or tomorrow. At first I though that the HPS was going to blow the LED out of the water, but the two LED plants that I cut down yesterday seem to have more weight than the two plants from the HPS.

So yesterday I cut two K2s from each light source, totaling 4 plants. And today I'm trimming the remaining 4. Should be interesting. I'll have the dry weights, and a complete analysis in about a week.:weed:
