Your Colombian Looks Like Cotton Candy Yummy :hump::weed::hump:
It all looks very greasy..
Cheers guys, greasy cotton candy... yum :weed:

A lot of them look like shit to me this round, but still good shit :) Only one that did well was the Columbian Gold, she liked the hot humid environment. Plus I'd forgotten she's in a 5 gal pot, ran out of clean 3's when I was transplanting them.

These are pretty well done at day 48 from flip :shock:

I have to figure out what if anything changed other than I was running a little higher RH (55-60%) during lights on, these matured way too fast in the last coupe of weeks. Definitely some signs of neglect being away and working stupid hours. Going to give them one more watering and start pulling them Monday.

Not much left to mature on these imo.
I've been offline for a while, good to see you're still at it :)

It's funny, when I started growing I felt like flowering took forever and was always looking for ways to finish faster (I grew a lot of Sativa doms). My last indoor I had a pair of Jack Herer's that finished super fast, and I felt like the colas never had time to fatten up, it hadn't occurred to me what could be lost by a fast finish. Two JH's in 7 gallon pots with a decent 5 week veg time -- they were from dispensary bought clones, so they were a couple of weeks old from rooting when I got them, and they had sufficiently filled the scrog by the time I flipped them. I ended out with a total of about 6.5oz from the pair... should have been more and I think would have if those colas had time to put on more bulk.

My best guess for my part in this is that I gave them too much light -- I started with a mix of COBs, running at around 50w/sf, but turned it down about halfway through flower when they started to mature too early. And probably too much time with those funky lizard UV bulbs. I stopped using the UV bulbs when the hairs started to darken too early. I think each strain reacts differently to them and I've never formulated a reliable system for using them. I think I might retire them.

Hey good to see you back in town. Definitely a few factors that can speed up finishing. I had a similar run to this last year where they all finished too fast, that was just testing leaving the 35w 660nm on for the first 2 1/2 hours of lights-on. When that happened I put them back to 10 minutes at the start. Other than a little higher RH lights-on I didn't make any lighting changes or anything so I'm kind of scratching my head with this one. Noticed the same issue you mentioned, they didn't have time to fatten up like they usually do, too fast.

50w/sw./ft. could do it, that's heavy for COBs, I'd imagine too much UV might affect them as well.

Day 49/7 weeks, they're pretty well all done, very quick finish. Will start pulling some tomorrow and stagger the harvest a bit, leave the seeded one's a bit longer. Last shot with a full room and close up of the Columbian Gold finishing up those purple budz :mrgreen:

Coming up a mix of testers from some recent crosses. I think I have 6 females in the 2x4 tent, have a couple of clones in 1gal's for backup if needed. In the 2x4 there's 2x Blue Ripper BX2's, 2x Blue Ripper x Skunk #1 F1's, 2x Blue Ripper x Blue Pyramid BX1's. Have another 2x Blue Harley BX1's that look almost identical in the 32x32 tent. They all got an up-pot today from 1 gal to 3 gal, will flip next weekend.

I think your BR may have a breeder's mark, a genetic tag of sorts.

Notice the veins on 1st leaf. Everything that has been touched by br has this (MR, BRxPL, BH), first noticed last run, and not seeing it on anything else.
Curious what you think?

Pulled the remaining plants today, grabbed pics of most as I pulled them over the last week. Most turned out alright, a few extra days tightened them up. Columbian Ripper got a nice fade on her and solid nugs, not bad for a 3 gal. The Columbian Gold in the 5 gal pot has a zip or two on her :mrgreen:

Columbian Gold (only 5 gal), wild & crazy sativa, pulled the trellises out of the soil :)

Hey thanks @jacrispy, going to drop some of those Panama crosses and see if I can get some to germ early for next round. Been on the road so much I'm spinning, slept at home one night this week! Have to up-pot a spare clone as a couple of the late showers in the new batch were males, 1 nice structured and smelly BR x SK1 I may flower out :)

So I f'd up when I went to make a batch of tincture, stoner move, didn't decarb the bud before throwing it into the jar :eyesmoke: Rather than try to figure out a way to decarb the tincture (could be a dangerous task :shock:), I turned it into oil. Turned out nice and dark, potent as hell and smells awesome. 18% return, 10g from 56g of bud :mrgreen:

Could you please state the vintage of that memory card? For all I know that blob could be the size of a sanddollar.
