That ICE is looking...icy!

Those are some stout trees you've got going, budluver! What are the genetics of the Blue Dragon? I'm surprised not to see them tied down.

Both my Congo and Power Malawi's are listed as columnar plants, but even my untopped ones are bushy. Your's are what I was expecting mine to look like.
It seems my bigger plants have slowed w/ the vertical hgt, but are getting real bushy.
The two topped Power Malawi's:



Thx for sharing budluver! Anyone else? Oh, yeah, sure was glad to get some rain today, won't have to haul water til maybe monday!

Hey HL....I should probably tie them down tomorrow morning.They are starting to get tall.Think they'd react well to it?? The mendos ( four) have GOT to be tied down.Also the plant below is getting tall and needs to fill out some.She is an Avalon....afghan x blueberry

AVALON

AVALON

You can see the afghan influence in this girl.Look at the size of her leaves.She is ultra healthy too.I have supercropped some of my plants.My blueberry thats coming up has been cropped a few times.This girl was so resilient.If I bent her back she rebounded within minutes..lol..I didn't want to crop her to the point of the stem splitting.She is very close to some gigantic ant hills.Red of course.They are my watch dogs..lol..

Okay fellow New Englanders...Here is another avalon and a pic of her neighbors...red ant hill on right.The avalon is 3.5 ft. to give you an idea of the size of the ant hill.


HL...This one is a little bushier.She has not been topped.IMO she doesn't really need to be tied down either.The pics don't do her much justice...she is VERY thick....Nebula

Hindu Kush

Hindu Kush

This isn't the greatest pic but the plant has been quite the trooper.She is a Hindu Kush (purple pheno) bred by a friend in Denmark.She started to flower six weeks into her life while crammed into a 16 oz keg cup.Fortunately this was rectified by transplanting into an all day sun spot.She reverted to vegging but looks like she's getting ready to flower soon.She has all kinds of branches.She isn't huge at four ft but she's going to have LOTS of bud spots.
Thx Goyakla...

Here is a blueberry,This plant is now tied down.I have two others.A smaller bushier one and one columnar like this one except taller.

Here's the shorter bushier blueberry


Someone said these blueberries can be very fragile,finicky, and not the greatest outdoor strain.I have found them to be extremely easy except my cuts are taking some extra days in the EZ Cloner.

Really nice selection, BL! I love the coloring on the Blueberry stalk and petoiles!
That Nebula certainly is bushy!
I'm all for tying down, did two of my Nigerian Nightmare's yesterday.

Thx for showing BL, look forward to seeing them progress thru the season. Those are just way too indica for me to try due to mold here. Hope they fair well for you!
More rain overnight, I'm a happy man! Hope the rain gave everybody a great growth spurt. Let's see 'em, people!

Early Queen

Early Queen

Hey everyone..here is my lone Early Queen. She is going to be VERY sativa like IMO.I had a lot of mutants from this pk of seeds.This plant started with two main grow tips.Unfortunately it didn't sex til recently and has only been in the ground @ 8 days.Last nights rain will help them all.


I have other mostly sativa strains including Biddy early, sweet treat, ap 11, ap13 x romulan.Hopefully these indicas will get a lot of air movement, and will finish early enough that mold won't be a problem.

 

[Guest]

I'll try and get pics of my Texada timewarps up too.Come on New Englanders shown us your plants!!

 

[Highlighter]

Things are getting pretty congested @ plot #2, kinda freakin' me out!
Guess I'll be able to cope.

 

[DimeBag65]

those are looking great highlighter, you might have trouble walkin in there soon! which is always a nice "problem" to have maybe you could start training and tying some of the plants outward if that would help in your plot to spread them out. They sure are looking very happy and healthy, you have done a very nice job.

 

[Highlighter]

Ha ha dime, we're trading threads!

The Nigerian IBL is already tied and taking up a huge horizontal mass. The only one not to express is the Power Malawi. I keep wanting to pull it so I can tie the Congo into it's area, but it's such a nice looking plant, I don't have the heart! I keep telling myself, "next visit"!
Just gonna "let it be".

 

[cocktail frank]

is it too late to put stuff outside yet?
im awfully close to nyc.

 

[DimeBag65]

haha yeah i noticed that as well.

i can completely understand the not having the heart to alter plants. It pains me to cut away and bend and twist plants but they love it in the end. i cant wait to watch you finish these strains out, they are exotic to me and i always love seeing something new ill be checkin up on your grow later on buddy!

From Seed? maybe....You're about at the same Lat. I am...if you have seedlings already get them in the ground asap..

I will get pix soon..but as of right now I have a total of 12 plants...
4x Female Seeds Maroc
3x Female Seeds Easy Sativa
5x JLP"s Mississippi Mud (G-13xMountain Jam)

Right now, they are still vegging..with the average height being around 28"..and about 9-10 nodes...Does anybody know when these will start flowering? I am guessing and hoping for beggining to mid august seeing as i would like these to veg until they are about 4 ft. My soil mixture is 1/2 Organic Humus, 1/2 native soil, added perlite and dolomite lime and it is treating me well..I am nuting with Fox Farm Grow Big..and will use ff big/tiger bloom during flowering...GL to all fellow NE'ers

 

[Highlighter]

With the weather being the way it has, they'll skyrocket in veg these next few weeks, before flowering early aug. Course it's all strain related, and those Maroc & Easy Sativa's may start going off sooner.
One of my Early Durban's is just starting to throw out some real pistils!

The seven plants @ plot #2

 

[NEToker]

Weather has been key...nice rainstorms at night with overcast skies the following day..Doesnt get much better than that...I had my plants rootbound in party cups from May 20-July 5..when they got transplanted into the ground..and they have taken off

 

[RevolutionX]

[Highlighter]

Hey RevolutionX, didn't realize you were in N.E. too!
Down here on the coast I'm not getting anywhere near the rain my brethren to the north are getting. Glad to hear conditions are advantageous!
