Hi folks, So currently sitting on day 63 of flower and it looks like I avoided a total PM cluster f*ck. The Bubblegum and her clones were removed from the tent and harvested on day 60. Only a couple of days shy of her 9 week window. Trichome was for the most part cloudy and PM only isolated to a couple of leaves that were removed prior to hanging. I will also have to look at the N balance with the next grow. As pointed out by @The_StonedTrooper might have had a little bit too much. Now in the final week and will systemically check trichome for the harvest window. Tortoni #2 Tortoni #1 GSC Palomino + clone Twisted Helix Tent view Bubblegum

I love this family photo. Way to fill a tent brother man

@The_StonedTrooper and @Bay Seeds thank you for all the help guys. Really gets a guy down when you get this shit so close to the end of the line. And just to harp back to my previous post. Not enough defoliation and air circulation all round and now I spotted this on the one Bubblegum clone.. only isolated to lower leaves... Turned a rather all right day into a shit storm... I will sit tonight and remove all the leaves that have a spot on. Seems it mostly only affected the Bubblegum... I only have to nurse these ladies for 2 odd weeks so I am hopeful this shit doesn't spread.

I just picked up now that all the Bubblegum plants have it. Really disheartening at this point in the game..

True no fade as yet on the clones. Mothers have a slight fade. The clones are in plastic pots and the mothers in fabric. Not sure whether that could have played a part. She was bang smack in the middle of the tent where there was limited airflow as I don't have oscillating fans. I went and had a look now again and all the Bubblegum plants have nanners. Just some more than others. Total fucking buzz kill this late in the game. Should I cut it all and and will the smoke still be any good?

Thank you for the advice. Will that ensure that the other plants don't get pollinated? I am just afraid I might miss a banana and then the whole tent goes tits up with pollen and seeds.

Thanx for the heads up. Just funny that she was on the same nute schedule as the other 2 clones and mother plant.. and they dont show any signs... My BioGrow nutes were limited to between 2 to 3.5 ml per liter.

Houston... we have a problem I was chilling with my plants today and something caught my eye on the one Bubblegum clone. So there is one Bubblegum mother plant and 3 clones currently in the tent. And I am quite certain I saw some nanners on the one clone. The other doesn't seem to have. I've heard hermie traits can be due to the strain cross not being as stable as it should be or due to stress. Not sure which one is applicable for this issue... I am a bit worried as to what to do now? We are currently sitting on day 59 of flower so should I chop the perceived hermie or what to do? Some guidance will be appreciated here... Some pics of the possible problem..

Hi @The Grass Baas I like your name. Excited to see what your scrog will deliver. Share some pics or start a grow diary

I like that super cheese strain. I have a very big love for exo cheese and the smell and flavour that comes with it. I will also run a cheese next round and very excited to see if it fits the profile I am after. Looking forward to your next grow man.

100% with you man. I also kak my pants in summer as my grow space is also not climate controlled and when I see that tent hit 30° or over I just see the smells disappearing. So what is lined up for your next run?

That White Wedding looks like a wedding I want to go to! Smashing job bro

Very wise words my friend. Thank you for the constructive feedback. I will keep that in mind for the next dance.

I concur. I just use the breeder time frames as guidelines as they mostly wanna sell shit that "flowers quickly" but in reality that is far from an accurate representation. I sometimes wonder whether the breeder counts pistil development as the start of flower or the flip to 12/12. I also check the trichome and most of my plants go over breeder guideline. Some even up to 2 weeks over the guideline. Especially when they say 8 week flower..

Morning folks. Day 58 of flower and I am not really seeing the buds fattening up as nicely as I would like. Trichome development on most of the ladies looks epic but rather perplexed as to the size of the buds. Might have been the cold as my grow is not temperature controlled. Or it might be the reasons noted below... This whole growing thing is a never ending learning curve and I got schooled on this grow as well. 3 things I will have to adjust with the next grow. - defoliate, defoliate, defoliate. Too many bud sites/nodes covered with growth stealing energy from the mains. @Prom thanx for the heads up. - veg the plants longer to establish distinct mains and allowing for better defoliation. Shout out to @PsyCLown and @ORGANinc. for picking up on that - soil got too compact due to too many top ups. I think that might have inadvertently limited root growth and expansion. Well lessons learnt and probably a lot more to learn as we move along. I also think I might have gotten a slight overwatering issue with the Bubblegum, she doesn't drink that much... Still got 2 odd weeks to go so let's hope for some fat nugs coming to the party... P.S Garden of Green - GSC what a waste of space...

Still we had hope at a time when we needed it bro

Morning folks. Day 53 of flower and I took out the ladies for some inspection and feedingone thing that really stands out for me is the fact that it seems the clones are maturing quicker than the mother plants? Pride and joy currently in the clone stable is the Palomino. I love the fact that the sugar leaves are cupping with excessive trichome. Just looks beautiful.

Fully agree with you man. He pulled a Lance Armstrong and got caught for good. Fuck weed suspension but EPO is on amother level. I got Cory all the way. His last 2 fights against Marlon Moraes and Frank Edgar was exceptional. He has the full arsenal of MMA skills to challenge for the title. His loss against Sterling taught him a lot. But then again who can put up a fight against Yan and expect to win (except if he disqualifies himself. Lol)

Glad you can check it out. Have fun and enjoy man

Yeah yeah bra. And the online DSTV Now catch up has all 7 episodes to watch.

Fair enough man. If you do get some time in between all of the episodes are on DSTV catch up. There have been a couple of cracking fights thus far. Who do you have for this weekend between Cory and TJ?

Yeah man. Team Volkanovski has really clawed back from their first string of losses. Craig Jones is an exceptional Jiu Jitsu coach.

@Adansonia digitata do you follow TUF?

Thank you very much for the kind gesture. Excited to try the wood vinegar and some more of your products in the near future

I would take a guess it is a farm close to Hogsback?
