here's a real runt from a previous grow, which is a month older than the tall one....I called it my "Dwarfed Dirt Dweller"
I'd try to put them all in bigger pots that one is the blue pot looks like 6 to 8 liters that seems better.

Looking good over here youth.

How many more weeks till chop you think?

Dude, you have the patience of a sloth! By this point I would have cut one of those hoes already for a taste tester. Some mexican strains (It looks like you have a Landrace hybrid TBH) Will never quite finish properly, so if you end up waiting another week with no changes, this is probably the case.
Some of these plants NEVER "finished", but they were still very fucking groovy :)
when you say never finish, do you mean the trichrome won't turn amber...or more about how the hairs turn red and recede into the plant?

I'm kind of thinking you may be right as I don't see the rate of progression into maturity that I'm accustom to but again I haven't grown anything like this before

the blue bucket hempy was 11 litre (2.5 gal), which is what I'll try again this summer with some auto-fems

I mean tricromes never turn. They may even start to grow new colas. If in a week nothing has changed this could be the case and I would chop it before it starts to randomly hermie.

Yeah perfect that should do good that's what I done with my autos

I do fem norther lights autos usually in 3 or 5 gallon pots I was thinking 15 this round but I Don't get enough direct sun to justify it like I won't fill all that out.

same here, as I only get direct sun from ~3 pm to sunset..... last year I got 67 grams from a 2 litre hempy.
Not sure what to expect from these new auto-fem's but my friend has already started 2 and they are growing really decent so far

I'll be chopping tomorrow...gave them straight water yesterday for their last diner

My tap water is about 7 pH but the run-off was about 6 pH and the water was red, so there is still lots of nutrients down below

a few pics..... had to tie up a cola as it was leaning into the fan...the runt got a good 2 hours of direct sunshine yesterday, looks like another sunny day today

Yeah that's not bad averaging like a little over a oz

Do you plan to do some autos this year?
That's not bad if you could do a 10 pack of fems get almost a pound.


Gosh dude ur girls look like they have massive freaking buds
Do you have a scale to be able to see the dry weight ?

Have fun harvesting!

How many days did you let them flower?

Just jarred up the buds yesterday, it was a slow process, as my temps were cool,~70F and 45% RH.

Smoke some popcorn buds, funny it doesn't taste at all like the pot in Mexico, it's clearly not the old nostalgic taste that enticed me to grow it.

The smoke was very smooth and a creeper stone, as it took me 20 minutes to know I was stoned

The buds are not dense, in fact quite fluffy especially the runt, haven't checked the weight yet, still letting them sit out in the open for a few hours

Still having issues with posting pic, but these a took sideways so they should come out good

Looking good bro.

Mexican strains have been polluted for a while I can tell you what. And you have no clue the heritage of those beans. I personally think it looks fucking awesome. And would love smoking on that shit during the day time before I switched to a heavy hitter for bed.

thanks lowryder....it's a really clean buzz that had me full of energy as opposed to sitting back on the couch all day long.

been working like a dog between harvesting the gals and tearing down the grow room....getting ready to relax and fire up a fat one

Nice grow ISK. I would have expected yours to have a better flavor, they received a lot more TLC than the parents. And I would expect you 2 if not 3 growing zones north of the parents home.
