Personal of different flavors ... just getting started

[Sparkus_Maximus]

High Everyone, So upon receiving beans from various vendors, naturally I couldn't wait to get some of them crackin'. My available Space is smaller than my aspirations, so I'm considering throwing a few outside here in 37N. The 2x2 personal tent contains 4 Joey Weed's C99 f2's along with Jill's 4 Jilly Bean f2's, a purple Thai and 2- Raspberry Cough from Nirvana that just broke the surface. Undoubtedly, the tent is soon going to be Crowded AF. Therefore I'm putting the 2- Hindu Kushes (Sensi Seeds' - fem) along with their Sensi Skunk freebie outdoors next week, just as the photoperiod nears 12/12 and going to allow them to finish properly. That will free up a bit of space in my Lil' personal 2x2. Also have 4 Golden Tiger regs. \ Aces popping up. Those are going to be on a schedule and league of their own, Hopefully they will finish around Christmas here, but who knows. I'm prepared to finish then indoors, should that turn out to be necessary. They'll be protected from cold temps while still receiving natural sunlight so I'm hoping the shorter daylight hours of around 10 /14 will help them ripen up properly, that's the plan anyway.

In the little 2x2 are 4- C99 and 4- Jilly plants that were started at the same time, and are the oldest seedlings in the tent. there are also 3 GDP- freebies in there as a space-filler. On 18/6 until they show pistils, which C99 is supposed to do after 5-6 weeks in veg. Hoping the J. Beans will show around the same time so that all ladies can be transplanted into organic / peat mix containers with an advanced nutrients trio I'm trying out for the first time. The 2 H.Kushes in a 4g planter, 4 GT seedlings in solos along with a P.T. and 1 Sensi Skunk freebie in the far corner basking in the Autumn Sun.

The 2 HK's were topped only about 5-days ago, as I was originally planning on vegging them for a bit before flipping. As it is, to make the best use of the fact I need more space in my little tent, I'm going to put them outside Sept 26 when the photoperiod reaches 12/12 and just let them do their thing. Same thing for Sensi Skunk, and still undecided about the Purple Thai (Online vendor based in Wa says it's pretty much the same strain as OPT) or very similar to it. Already showing purple colors on the top nodes, excited about this one and want to hit it with some C-99 pollen. Considering the typical Sativa stretch, I just may put her outdoors along with the other 3 next week... and we'll have to see how those 6- little nodes look after her stretch is done. Either way these 4 will all be small, nuggy little girls in the end. Not a great yield, but I'll finally have some personal smoke after a hiatus, and the remaining C-99 and Jilly Beans under the LED will augment the yield for this Winter, hopefully.

Kushes are expected to have very-little stretch so... little ''nubs'' in the end, and I can let them go as long as required by bringing them inside in November. Expecting a similar squat stubby - structure from the Sensi Skunk while hoping the Little P.Thai will kick those nodes into overdrive during her flowering-stretch. Started using Voodoo-Juice on all plants about 5- days ago along with standard grow/ bloom / micro ph-perfect formula from Advanced Nutrients to try out this line. I do need these Indicas to finish asap as my space can then be devoted to the 4- Golden Tigers, which we all know will stretch like a MOFO and take forever (plus 3-weeks) to finish. First time trying this Sativa, I'm hoping the photoperiod decrease throughout late November/ December will trigger them along their way. This one is purely experimental, have had my eye on Ace's GT for a while now, and since they will take Soo Long to finally have a mature and properly cured product, there's no time like the present to get em' going!

4- GT's just came up today ... and the recently topped P.Thai Lady is showing some heritage colors on her nodes already, despite the fact we have not had any cold temps yet.

 

[Sparkus_Maximus]

I'm curious if anyone has ran the OPT / P.Thai which I hear are the same strain. Have only 2- going, the germ rate was not stellar with these (most-likely) aged seeds. But I'll work with what I have, as the 2- that did sprout are vigorous and doing well. I'm thinking of using them in a bit of pollen -chucking to see what emerges. Same thing for the 2- Rasberry Cough ladies, I have heard nothing but good things about this one, and being a Sativa Lover she sounds to me like a great addition to the C-99 / Jilly Beans p.chucking round. Also running 3 POG x GDP x Krystalica / Mandala (Flying D's Pot of Gold) x Grandaddy Purps / (UGL Seeds) x Mandala's Krystalica. These last ones are some space-filler freebies that came up recently along with all the others.

Put my 2 Hindu Kushes and the lone Sensi Skunk outside today, the photoperiod has reached 12/12 in my area, so they should start throwing pistils shortly. Everyone has been topped @ the 3rd node leaving each girl with 6- branches. We'll see how they will do in flowering considering their mostly Indica landrace-heritage and the fact they will have very little-stretch. Both are well adapted to colder outdoor conditions and are generally resilient to everything, so I'm keeping my thumbs-up for a little smoke late Thanksgiving into mid-December, letting them finish properly. They will be brought inside when the temperatures reach freezing, into a hospitable environment to let them finish. I figure I should be either puffing on early samples, or just chopping on my birth day, in the first week of December

The 3- Golden Tigers just getting started...

You have a lot going on for that small space.

You have a lot going on for that small space.

That's exactly why I put some of them outdoors, so I can free up some space and concentrate on the remaining C99 / Jilly-Beans and the Lone Purple Thai which I want to pollen-chuck with inside the little 2x2 tent

2 Sensi Seeds Hindu Kushes in a planter, and a couple of GT's in solos unveiling their second - set of trues, ready to begin the Marathon under the current seasonal photoperiod of 12/12. The Indicas are expected to - Sprint to the finish in a fraction of the time, so hoping to have a bit of smoke while the GT's move along their lengthy-timeline. Expecting the Kushes to show pistils within a week or so, just gave them a bit of Voodoo Juice along with their standard Advanced-Nutrients regiment today. Originally I had 3- GT seedlings, but the smallest one had its' stem chopped in half, apparently falling victim to one of those little ''stem-chopping'' insects, which are common in this area. I forgot to bring them in one night and... = chop-suey ! down to 2- GT's the next morning. Still have 5- beans left to run sometime in the future though

Here are the 2 Hindu Kushes, going to tie down the branches for some light-LST. Expecting them to start throwing pistils in about 7-10 days if not sooner...

 

[Sparkus_Maximus]

So it's been a minute and the little late-planted mini-ladies are doing well, just before they start receiving an extra hour of night-cycle. Indica leaning J.B. below, the Sativa pheno is in the attachment but I will take a better pic of her another day.

2 Jilly Beans, a couple of weeks in. It's super nice and warm for the season so I'm letting them soak up the sun like Cheryl Crow

 

[Sparkus_Maximus]

When it gets too cold, they will move inside and keep Bob company

Here's a group shot of the girls, a few weeks in

Beautiful!

 

[Sparkus_Maximus]

Mandala's Krystalica \ POG x GDP (*Pot of Gold x Granddaddy Purps*) a couple of weeks in. Bent her meristem over at the onset of flowering which helped control and tame her height. Next, The Indica-leaning Jilly Bean, and the purple Thai from UGL which was vegged for around 3-4 after weeks after topping, unlike the others which received 12/12 from seed. The Krystalica hybrid is beginning to smell seductively fruity along with some delicious hashy notes (probably from The Flying Dutchman's POG influence), while the 2 Jilly beans are producing a heavenly (citrus / orange candy) aroma. The Sativa-leaning pheno smells of delicious candied-orange jelly beans, sugary-sweet all the way. Can't wait to smell them in 4-5 weeks. All were dusted with some C99 pollen a week ago.

 

[Sparkus_Maximus]

C-99 pollen was collected onto - CD's , then painted on various flowers with a tiny brush. Pollinated so far : Hindu Kush, Purple Thai, Krystalica hybrid, both Jilly Bean phenotypes, and my lone C99 female. Also have 2 Raspberry Cough from Nirvana, read a lot of good reviews on this one, and decided to try 'em out. Those just showed pistils about 10 days ago, so they are last ones in the lot.
