Update: After a month of light dep decreasing to about 10 hrs of light, I harvested this past week. Not because everything looks completely ready, but because I need to prepare the space for long season crop. If it was gonna be perfect, I would’ve waited for it. But, it wasn’t. Funny buds on the seedlings...tiny, stretched then finished small. About what one might expect for plants that started to stretch into re-veg at week 4-5 of flowering, then got proper night hours for a month. Lots of good learning and got to pheno hunt two varieties, as well as finished out some pretty buds, especially Bay 11 and Chemdog. In contrast to long season...NO caterpillars, thank you, and no real PM problems...making harvest a breeze.
I will do this again. Planting in maybe mid-January, and starting light dep closer to first of March.
Alenuihaha: 4 females all smelled great. Light tropical fruit notes over a broad creamy base. The winner has cocoa in the base notes, and sour in the fruit...yum. She’s also the biggest, most narrow leafed expression with the least PM. All 4 are nice and frosty, especially the choicest girl. I’m gonna run her and her fastest and spiciest sister for long season and see how they perform. I imagine they’ll get huge.
PCK: These 4 females were much more varied in phenotype than the Hawaiians. All turned purple, one dark and almost pink, looks like it will dry to black. She was the biggest, smells very softly fruity and has less frost than... The winner: medium-big, very pretty structure, stacked for yield. Smells strongly spearmint-menthol-fuel. Super frosty. The male I selected matches this female...dead on. I chose not to make seed this round when everything went sideways, but I have some clones of him for this summer. I rejected the purple male.
The clones finished better, as they were deeper into flowering before the almost re-veg.
This is a bud of the my Jack Herer f2. She’s very narrow leaf style with running buds anyway. Add some extra veg stretch mid flowering and look out!
