I can easily say the Bushmaster helped keep my plants shorter and bushier. I applied 5-10 ml/G when I flipped to 12/12 and the plants barely doubled in hieght.
In terms of the Hardener, I will have to do a side-by-side comparison with clones to really make any conclusions about it.
Well I took these pics on Sunday, but since they were on my buddies camera I wasnt able to upload them..... until now!
It was a quick photo shoot, just took pics of my favorites...
Apollo Mist "A2": I had thought this would be my haziest pheno (longest leaves) but she is finishing quick with ROCK HARD nuggets. The smell is like sweet and sour fruit... who wouldnt be happy?! Her trichs are very dense, but the heads havent swollen too much (at least since sunday), but there were a good amount of cloudy ones, so I'm thinking shell be done in another week or so (today is day 63)
DPD 1 "green/AK pheno": Although I was certain she would be ready to pull at 8 weeks cuz she was super frosty and dense, she is still clear/cloudy with no amber at 9 weeks. This girl has a mixed fragrance, sweet and stringent. Kinda hard to pin down but surely potent. The only problem with this girl is that the nugs, although they look great, are pretty spongy when squeezed, so probably wont be the best yielders.
DPD 2, the PURP: This girl has been getting darker and darker by the day. Its crazy b/c the leaves are still dark green, but the calyxes are a deep purple. She's gonna look awesome when trimmed up. Her smell is similar to the DPD 1, but she is much more oily and slippery (what is this a sign of??). The structure on the plant is great and has allowed multiple large colas to form, so I am expecting a high yield. I will definitely be keeping this girl around just for her looks (got two NICE clones vegging). Im sure the smoke wont be bad either :smile:
And finally, my favorite.....
Cherry Bomb II sativa pheno: I am truly in love with this plant. She is rock solid, with huge, bursting calyxes. At first the buds looked spear shaped but now its like an asteroid. If I was walking through the forest and found this plant in nature, I would definitely think it was from another planet. The smell is great too, and the lower nug I sampled gave a Real nice soaring head high, and that was over a week ago! She is still clear/cloudy, no amber, but ~40% of the hairs have turned brick red. The clone I have of her is the shortest and bushiest of them all, and gets my undivided attention.
Wow, this has really become quite the article! I've been studying for midterms all day, guess theres still some Ritalin left in me (there must be or else I wouldnt be up at 3am )
So the Cannalope buds that were Water Curing were removed after 7 days and have been hanging to dry. I put a small nug on my monitor to dry up, and it smoked sooooooo smooth. I cant imagine it hitting any smoother! I'm gonna have to compare it to the air-cured buds and and see if it really was the water cure that did it (I flushed for 2 weeks anyways, all organic flowering nutes). That one hit I took sent me FLYING for around two hours (lost track of time). It was a very pleasureable, heady high. Made me feel like a 747 cruzing at 35,000 feet. With a big smile too . The buds are leafy, but completely covered in resin. 100% one hit shit. I will do a more detailed smoke report once I've smoked a good amount of her. The good news is I have 6 clones, 2 almost ready to flower!! Looks like this is gonna be a looooong flight :smile:
GREAT THREAD!!! dam that Growzilla is a great blast...2000W in such a small space..!! Ithought my 1000w was alot...after browsing your thread it makes me wanna go buy one..
I'm actually running a 400W standard and a 600W digital. It combines to well over the output of a standard 1000W. I would HIGHLY recommend a 600W digital ballast, an amazing light.
Don't forget that light mover you got FG! You have such a selection but can you give us an "odor during flowering" description? I'm sure those clones you got are waiting for their turn!
Thanks for the compliments! Since I lost my camera I have borrowed my friends a couple times, but not nearly enough. The Maui Cherry Bomb and "A2" Apollo were chopped on friday, 10 1/2 weeks of flowering. For some reason the Kush pheno (which is the same as I had last time) is taking a while to finish, which is wierd. I would have never thought the apollos would be done before it. The purple Purple Doja came down today, and she is a BEAUTY. I will MAKE SURE to take pics after they have been dried, and will provide DETAILED smoke reports for all note-worthy specimen.
Almost up to 200 posts, should bang out a few more and go kick it in CHAT.
So I snapped some pics of the girls after drying for 3 days.
The buds on the left are "A2" Apollo Mist, middle is DoublePurple Doja, right is "maui" cherry bomb II. no flash, and with flash.
And a jar of the green "ak" DPD pheno curing
I've been smoking the Cannalope and Apollo dom. The Cannalope is a little more potent, intense, and overall "trippy". The Apollo is more uplifting, relaxing, but still able to think weed. When puffing on Cannalope, my friends and I cant seem to say much except "damn this weed is good". I cant wait for the hanging shit to dry and cure, cuz those are the ones I consider the "keeper" phenos, at least thats how I feel sofar.
