Well....it looks like some of my grow buddies are posting their beautiful plants here!
First time growing Bobs beans, not the last I can assure you!
Soooo......I think I'll jump in here with my 2 Slymers!
Incredible greasy buds smelling of Lime terps and nothing else that I can pick up!

Day 46 from the flip...

Vegged 5 wks....5 gal pots of organic mix almost a (coots blend).
Water only except for top dressing MBP, castings and Flower girl twice!

I love Chernobyl, so this could end up being one of my all time favs!
Wonder how they'll look in a couple wks??

Looking great. Nice work buddy!

"The Wispy One" Chernobyl phenotype has basically turned into a tumble weed. It's almost all larf from base to top buds. Once it dries, the smallest buds will shrink down to almost undetectable! However....having said that, the terps are just incredible! The upper larf has turned dark purple and the lower larf is uranium green! None of the pics I have are good enough to post, but I'll try to take some more before I harvest it, just so you all can see what I'm talking about! It's like a crazy landrace sativa in bush-form!

I see some sad face responses. My apologies! I know that a larf plant isn't usually desirable, but, I am a SMALL-time grower and I always look forward to seeing just what kinds of surprises I will get each time. I don't have any quotas to meet or orders to fill. I just enjoy the process for the most part and MOST of the time, the rewards are there. Sometimes, the rewards are high-yielding and sometimes they aren't. But I just wanted to point out that the terpene profile of this little bush is VERY strong. It smells like limes and wallpaper paste! It's not a show bud....unless you like the look of very bushy, larfy sativas!

It also lends credence to the fact that each plant is different and grows differently, so it's not the light....It's not the nutes....It's not the temps....It's the genetics.

I'm digging it. I never meant to indicate that I was disappointed! heheheh

My sad face was from the fact that you describe a less than stellar plant from my gear. I know that not all plants are keepers, but I’ve never received a report as you describe. I’d be happy to send you a free pack if you would care to try again.

Very generous of you Bob!
I guess I should confess, my plants are photoshopped the frost isn't real and they have zero scent!
Could I get a free pack....;)

One of mine is that same pheno you describe. It's not a disappointment, I save that word for my kids. It's very different than the rest, and like you I grow indoors for myself so I could care less about yield. I'm very excited to sample this strain, but this pheno I hope is special. 8 days to chop!

I'll leave my crusty milk spray chernobyl off this thread, for the sake of the lactose intolerant. here's some meltdown.

My Slymers @51 dayz. I'll be surprised if they go 70....but I'll keep lovin on em for a bit to see where they go. Not huge buds...but dense and gettin' damn purty. Pics don't really do em justice (with this zoom lens), IMO...but you get the idea.

I'll definitely be putting one/two of these outside this summer to see what they will do. Good job, Bob. Very nice.

About 1 week at 12/12 and it's going ok. The plant looked thirsty this morning and the pot was feather light, so bumped up the water.PXL_20240211_193013051.jpg
I put a net in just to spread it out. I'm not going to thread or try to fill the net. Hopefully It will add a little support and spread it open. I did a lot of branch cracking and the branches are nice and stiff now so it shouldn't need much support.PXL_20240211_194914491.jpg
The net is currently being supported by super magnets that claim to hold 90lbs. They are on there firm but not like 90 lbs. It will be fun to see if they hold or if I'll have to fix it.:lol:
