Just a note on aromas...

...the most purple outdoor Flo has got an absolutely amazing scent. Smell is the only sense that misses out a certain part of your brain (can't remember what) and can conjour up really amazing images/feelings/thoughts...

...and when I rub the stem of this plant and smell my fingers I get...

HAND ROLLED CUBAN CIGARS!!! I love it...such a rich smell...

These Flo's are allready impressing me with their depth of flavour and I haven't even smoked any yet!

Peace.

NZjay - No worries man. It's certainly very bushy compared to those Flo's! All good though.

That outdoors Flo is a flexible little girl...currently she's being caressed by a reasonably volatile westerly wind.

I'm trying to ween myself down to checking on them only twice a day! Very difficult.

Do you know Hamilton well? Helped build a bar there and used to know the Rocket Coffee guys. Hamvegas!

Regarding some earlier posts, I actually had the same thing with my current grow, I thought i saw some balls and now there's gynoecium protruding in her armpits very nice! But I would have kept a male too for some reproductive Stamen dust.

Budding up nicely...oh how lovely.

Budding up nicely...oh how lovely.

Well hello there people! Long time no updateroonie...

All going well with the 4 keepers. They are all flowering nicely with the outdoor Flo (most purple) starting the latest but oh my Lordy she is a pretty little haven for the eyes.

Please find below some close ups of the main colas at about 20 days. Bear in mind they have all been topped twice. I will post wider shots of the complete plants hopefully tomorrow...

...in the meantime please do comment on them and if you feel confident to place a guess as to what Kiwi Seeds strain it may be please leap on in and have a punt!

Peace out and enjoy........ :

Outdoor Purple Flo (late starter...but puuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttyyyyy)


Purplish Greenhouse Flo (up style leaf traits and reaching for the stars)


Greenish Greenhouse Flo (nice)


Kiwi Seeds mystery strain PLEASE HELP IDENTIFY (loves nutes, loves sun, much bigger yielder than Flo's it seems). and very friendly to boot! AND is that some Trichome action?


Until soon my cyber grow peeps...over and out.


:joint:

Hold on tightly...let go lightly.

Hello hello.

Here are the girls all in the greenhouse. All plumping up with the Kiwi strain really piling on the pounds! Any ideas what she is yet?

Unidentified Kiwi


The Flo's (pushing 6 feet!)


Purple Flo now inside and about two weeks behind others


Does anyone know if it is usual for the more purple Flo's to start later and finish later?

So here are a few shots of the unidentified kiwi seeds strain. She is plumping up and pushing out trichs nicely. I'd say she's at about 30 days.






And a little Flo:

just massacred kiwi plant...grey bud mould...saved a tiny bit of the cull and it's drying...given plant a major haircut to increase air flow and get rid of cancer. I think it was their skunk variety...very sticky and dense...Flo's look ok.

Plants look good. The Kiwi strains are mostly old Dutch varieties renamed so if it smells skunky it will be a skunk.

Well I've tried a bit of what I could salvage from the Kiwi plant and it certainly did the trick! Heart ponding for the first 15 mins and then a lovely silly high that peters out after about 2 hours.

Just the three Flo's left then and they're lookinf lovely. One of the plants (green stems) has suddenly started to turn a magnificent purple! Would never have guessed it would from the stem and leaf colour up to that point. Low resin on that plant though but the largest plant (6 foot) which has purple stems has pure green buds that are bigger and far more resinous...

...the final plant which is about 4 feet high and has the most purple stems seems to be producing purple buds with a good resin amount allready and it's definitely 2 weeks behind the other two...

anyhoos...here's some pics in no particular order at about 6 weeks (4 for the smallest).












Any other Flo growers out there?

Here's one...:)

They look fantastic mate - really chunky, and nice to see some let grow properly for once! What are the smells like - all different?

SMELLS!!!!!!!

SMELLS!!!!!!!

OK so here's a smell roundup...

Big (6 foot), high yielding green bud (purple stems), loads of resin smells of damp earth with a hint of citrus:
The one on the left here:

And here is a close up:


The next is turning a lavender/deep purple and has a low resin level and smaller prettier buds...she is 5 foot and smells of not much to begin with then out of nowhere a subtle but lingering licourice aroma!





The third is about 4.5 foot...very purple stems and is about two weeks behind the others. Purplish buds with good resin content...smells of very little to begin with and then this wonderful 'grandpa's pipe tobacco leather pouch' smell emanates! I have high hopes for her...if i can kee her alive until mid Nov.




How do these compare with you Eman or any other FLO peeps?
