H.A.F.
a.k.a. Rusty Nails
The Thunderhole is gonna actually have a yield. She's plump, stinky, and about the same size as one of those ceramic Christmas Trees your grandma had - with the little plastic "lights" that poked into it. I think it'll pull the same weight I have been getting from everything else, in the 1.5-2oz range after drying, or for my purposes about an ounce of primo and enough lower stuff to play with early and not feel guilty. Lot's of milk but very little amber so far. Her and the Loud Lemon Sorbet will be 10 weeks into flower on the 10th.
The Loud Lemon doesn't look as done as I think it is. The second round of pistils was thin, bit evenly sprinkled everywhere. The leaves are showing some senescence and the bud-leaf trichs are all showing that creeping-purple up the stalks everywhere the leaf is turning.
This is the only veg area right now other than the clone tent. To keep everything a little smaller and give me more headspace at the same time I went to the 6" nursery pots instead of 1g.
This is the clone tent. 80w of what appears to be the right spectrum is killing it in a 3x3. Since the usual seed tent was full I stuck the freak and the auto's in here with the clones. I am almost ready to do my SOG with the County Line Hashplant. I have two tops that are further along than the side-branch clones, with eleven total. The plan was to keep one top as a mom, but I'll never grow the rest of the beans I have if I keep this up. I need to figure out pot-size and get that set up beginning of next week.
This will thin out immensely as I smoke the other stuff and cull. Many are just hanging around until I see if they bring the same fire the previous bean did. If not I'll find another. The Cream is the tall one in the center just getting real leaves after re-veg and I am getting a few clones today. I love the smoke so far, and it has a lot of good qualities early - and it was a lucky first female out of a 5-pack of regs. Same with the two SkunkXXX, but the Bluperskunk, Williams Wonder, and Grandpa's Stash will not be cloned further. I have plenty of those beans to pop so now it's a question of whether to flower these out or compost them. As long as they stay happy in the tiny pots they can stay. The Sky Struggler finally has clones that look sturdy. Popped the bean in January... I have one in the closet to sex and the other just in case I want to keep it.
So I think preservation of stuff I can't pop another bean for is the primary goal. Secondary will be if I want to do a bulk run with the saved clone or not. For example, I am not cloning the Albany Piff - I know where I can buy more if I like them. But I have seven more Cuban Black Haze crosses from @High kev to run through, and one set of 5 is going to take 12-14 weeks minimum in flower. Now that I can keep plants healthy for that long the only issue is if they stretch like mad. This run gets the 4-week veg like everything else, but I have heard that flipping them when they are this size is another option since they will still wait to flower until they are mature enough but will obviously flower at the first opportunity without me holding them back.
Did I mention I was pretty high today?
