Green crack is a great smoke. Good choice on the strain. Hope you're grow goes well.

Hey bud. It's quite funny that you ask as I actually went on a little smelling investigation earlier today but no distinctive terpenes pushing through just yet but I have a feeling that it will be a diversely stinky bunch at the end of the day On a happy note the Tortoni #2 and Bubblegum has also started showing some nice snow covered tops Bubblegum Tortoni #2 Twisted Helix

I would enjoy being part of the panel as well if help is needed.

This is so exceptionally exciting and interesting to follow. It's really nice to see the train of thought of the breeder and I am learning so much. I am proud to be running your genetics and the folks I have given cuttings to are also very VERY happy. Well done man and thanx for sharing

You're going strong man! Flip date is only 3rd of July so you still have time. The last post the ladies looked like they were settling nicely!

Thank you very much man. As you know like they say happy wife happy life! Lol

Me too my good friend. Me too

Good day folks. So the flowering cycle is now in full swing and I can see several bud sites popping up all over the place. Currently sitting on day 20. I really do like the flowering stage so much as you can see a lot of progression within the space of a week. All the ladies have shown quite a good stretch and I am sure there is still more stretch left in them. Between the 2 Tortoni's the one I popped last is actually stretching and growing bigger than the 1st Tortoni seed that was popped. So Tortoni #2 is actually catching up to the tallest lady in the tent, the Twisted Helix... The one thing that REALLY excites me at the moment is the Twisted Helix.. I am already starting to see sprinkles of tricome on the bud sites. I haven't had a strain before that expressed such early tricome development so this is getting me real giddy. All the other ladies are also looking stellar and will soon start introducing TopMax to the feeding regiment.

Fucking stellar review and acknowledgedment of local excellence

I like your training bro. Very excited to see how it turns out

Love the strain line up and super excited to see how it turns out. I also have that cheese to run so I'm giddy to see what you come up with. Good luck!! *following*

@PsyCLown thanx for the heads up man. It's been a couple of crazy weeks. So currently we are on day 14 since the flip to flower. Some of the ladies have started stretching real nice. I made some notes on the height prior to flip so will be interesting to see which lady wins the race. Some of the ladies are already starting to show some nice bud sites and starting to push pistils while others are taking their time. I did a minor defoliation on the mothers and this should be enough for the final flowering stage (might trim a little here and there as the stretch settles) I also didn't defoliate the Bubblegum again as I like the current look.. All and all happy with the current situation and hoping that the rest of the flowering period will go on incident free. Twisted Helix GSC Palomino Tortoni #1 Tortoni #2 Bubblegum Tent View

As a breeder you probably know the scene quite well. Are GGG really all that and a bag of chips? Do they hold super rare cuts or do they just create new shit that is fire? Can you compare them to InHouse Genetics? I see 7 regulars goes for about R2300 on B&B and that is quite a stiff price..

Hey bro. Your plants have a very nice colour well done. But in my limited experience those plump leaves curving a bit downwards might be a sign of overwatering. Good luck for the rest of the grow man!

Looking very cool man. I see you did a full on lollipop on all the ladies. I would throw a number out of between 10 to 15 grams dry trim weight per plant. So all in all between 160 and 200 grams I would guestimate... I enjoyed following your grow. Went a lot faster than a Baobab

Thanx a lot bro. It's a labour of love but Oh Boy do I love it !!! I appreciate the feedback.

@iGrowDagga we need the Gospel of Epsom Salts here bro.

Hi folks. So I flipped to flower on the 31st of May. I was satisfied with the sizes of the plants taking into consideration the clones in the middle of the tent that will also add to the total yield. I have cleaned up the 6 mother plants and will clean up the clones by the weekend. Then maybe one final clean up at the end of week 2 of flower. Struggling a bit with colder temps and Eskom fucking around but other than that not a lot to complain about. Cleaning up the plants have also introduced me to their unique smells. It's really nice to start to smell the ladies and what they might represent going into flower. Please mind the drooping Twisted Helix.. it turns out she drinks a lot and only got a feed after the clean up. Here are some before and after pics...

Bro you really REALLY like Epsom Salt hey?

I love this photo man. From the white brick background to the white pebbles in the pots. Taking cannabis bonsai to a whole new level. Well done

Thanx bro I appreciate the input. Yeah I agree with you and PsyCLown and will give it a couple extra weeks. With the training I did most of the plants in the big pots will not grow over the pot perimeter so should hopefully not cause any shade spots. I am also lucky in the sense that I have 3 independently adjustable grow lights so I can angle it once we see who wins in the stretch. I also agree with your take on not training right before flipping. The ladies already have some vertical nodes but can definitely do with some more. And like you say springboard for the stretch is a good idea if I have already come this far. Little bit more time for more reward sounds like a good plan

Thanx for the constructive input bro, much appreciated! I haven't really pushed hard on the vegging height previously so it will be nice to see what I end up with given the extra veg time.

Yes sir that will be the idea to increase the yield for the tent. And also my mobility will be a bit of a problem for the next few weeks so don't want to be moving pots around. Hopefully with the clones I can get to that 300g or more again.

Hi folks. So this weekend saw the transplant of the clone ladies from 15cm to 20cm pots. The root systems looked super happy and healthy with a nice shade of white. Mind the droopy leaves they got a feed straight after the transplant.. I will probably flip to flower this coming weekend as the height of the ladies should be sufficient enough to ensure nice big and tall main colas. Will post some close up pics with my first post flip post

Hey brother. This was a very cool grow to follow! I just HAVE to commend you on your trim job. The flowers look absolutely beautiful!! Please post some pictures post cure when you smoke that up! Happy growing
