They look great, now it's a waiting game...

Are you going to keep working on the Ice x HB cross?

Flower day 8-9

Plants are growing fast and I'm still waiting for them to show sex. Hopefully this will happen this week so I can get them transplanted.

I don't think I will be doing any breeding this run with the Ice x HB. I'm going to focus on the White Russians. I've still got five or six Ice x HB seeds left. I'm going to see what these ones look like and make a descision whether or not to keep them around. So far they look very Hashberry. That may well change in flower.

Yeah, they do have those fat-ass leaves like the HB...
I didn't see the Ice as it was growing, what did it look like? (Size and shape of leaves, stature, etc.)

That super Ice I talk so highly about was a good mix. It wasn't too tall, but had very Sativa-ish looking leaves. They weren't fat but slim and serated. It was not the best yielder but smelled like a lemon tree. It showed trichomes within the second week of flower which I had never seen before. It spent it's time in a toxic hydrohut so that may be why the yield was low...

Flower day 10

Some of the plants have shown sex, and some have not.

White Russian - 3 females, 2 unknown
Ice x HB - 2 males, 3 unknown
NL x WR - 2 unknown, 1 runt which was killed

Another day or so and hopefully the rest of the unknowns will show sex. They go under the 400w HPS tonight and until harvest.

Sorry for the lack of updates folks. I had a family issue to deal with. I'll get an update and some pictures tomorrow so hold tight.

Flower day 19

I was out of town for a week and had a friend look after the plants. When I got back they were bone dry so they are looking kinda rough. They should start looking better in a few days. I am hoping the dry spell doesn't cause them to hermi or kill the yield. We will find out down the road. I have a total of 6 females.

Back row: White Russian
Front row L to R: Ice x HB, White Russian, NL x WR

Flower day 22....I think

The ladies are recovering quite well. Plenty of new growth which is nice. Hopefully stretch will end soon and massive bud set will begin.

All is well. Buds are developing and the plants are slowing in their stretch. Now the game of patience begins.

Plants are looking great. Temperatures and humidity have fallen too with the cooler weather. I'll continue with the flower fertilizers and keep rolling along.

Got some new pics tommorow. For any who are wondering why those plants look so good it's because of the following Botanicare products:

Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil
Sweet
Cal Mag
Blast Off

Thanks. I've been having some slight issues with lower leaves yellowing off. I think it may be either the the lack of light, soil getting too dry, or not enough nitrogen in the fertilizer mix. I know it's a normal thing but I dont want yellow leaves until right near harvest. I'm going to throw in some Liquid Karma into the mix and try watering more often. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

Next watering I'm going to mix it up with some PBP Grow/Bloom. The DR80 is a great tent for yourself and some more. It paid itself off with the first grow I did in it. Just keep things simpe - plenty of light, fresh air, and enough rootspace and you'll be happy.

Plants have kicked into bud overdrive. They've finally started putting out trichomes too. Last feeding they got a mix of flower and grow fertilizers because of the early yellowing. All the bud leaves are nice and dark green so I may not sweat it from here on out.

great work man!! Sucks coming back to town to see your ladies drying up! I did that once so far with my current batch, let them go almost a whole week without water, man were they thirsty!! Can't wait to see your harvest, I have 6 females flowering myself.
