Triangle X LemChem Testers

barletta · Apr 1, 2016

Thank you kindly heady! Just providing a happy home & trying to not overfeed, the genetics are shining, though. These are some of the frostiest seedplants I've done in a while. Can't wait to see what they have going on @60days.

Whattap Bmac thank you for the love. The initial tester shipping snafu ended up working in my favor. Even if I had gotten these 'on time', my situation changed where I wouldn't have been able to run them any earlier, even if they came right away. I'm thrilled with requesting these particular beans, & grateful that I have the chance to run them

Side note - I never pollinated with a paintbrush before, I usually just pluck male flowers & tappa-tappa-tappa over the females like I'm ashing a tiny yellow submarine. This time I collected & mixed pollen in a lil paper cup & dabbed on with a paint brush. Looks like I have less overspray, but I'm only cooking a few seeds per pollination site. My 'ash the bannana' method usually gets me 20+ per pollination site.

Something like 45 days. Checked the timer the other day & it's on 11:15 & off 12:45 every day. Picked up GH Diamond nectar last week to work in thru the end. Seems like it does to veg plants what fulpower does, sooooo....

#1 plant. Was clipping lowers ~10 days ago & accidentally snipped a top. I shit you not, it smokes as strong as the weaker of the LaNina that I just finished. Buzzy & lemony, but made me sweat. Seeded branch is in the foreground of some of these.

This #3 plant sort of snuck up on me in terms of ripeness. It's rare that I have a true 8 week plant, & I usually shoot for 9-10 weeks on hybrid seed grows, figgured for 60-70 days with these. She was fed full strength thru 41 days & yesterday soaked with light nutes. The whole show got soaked to 25% runoff with no salt organic goodies day 38. Let's see if I can get her to color any in 10+ days. This is how I like them to look ~2 weeks before harvest upskirt.

awesome work man, I bet they proper stink too... had a similar experience when I accidentally snapped a top at 7.5 weeks and it fair grabbed me by the baws ...still managed to get most of them to 10, but only just

Thanks, J

The lil branch was cutoff somewhere around day 30ish & was from the longest flowering looking of the 5. I didn't expect anything more than a hay taste with a hint of og. Instead I got a lemon taste with a hint of grass, lol. DID get me high & I smoke all day. Garden cuts thru the carbon filter certain times of the day. Like 2-3 hours into lights off & right at lights on almost every day & random other times, too.

Ok, day 52-53ish. Looking at organic chelators (sp?) from here out. No color coming in the last week on the #3 plant. Got a lil bit of fade in the middle, but she's gonna need at least one more wet/dry cycle before chop. Gonna go harvest the branches of her with my seeds after I get these posts off.

#1. Branch on lower right is seeded. This is the only lemony smelling plant & is by far the most nute sensitive, although no moreso than a hungry haze hybrid.

#2. Has ROCK HARD buds & a nice vanilla musk OG smell coming on. Also looks to have the fattest calyxes of the bunch.

#3. Looking done but I'm in no hurry to take her as there will be a hole in the tent until I harvest the rest. Probably taking in a week, but could come down now, IMO. Subtle lime cleaner smell.

#4. Looking like a skinny chem91 & starting to smell like Sour D. More rock hard buds, but they are small. 2nd fastest plant, the lowers look ripe.

#5. Heavy & Heavenly. Sweet cedar & earth & vanilla & rosemary?? (floralish perfumey pine) They will all get re run, but this one will probably get the hardest look, as I need a production keeper. Lil bud waaay on the bottom right is seeded.

Later taters.

Right around 60 days. Got ONA on the tent intake & on both of the house-vent outlets I have the tent vented out thru. Also have used/rehydrated ONA in the livingroom with the overhead fan. Yup, they stink so sweet.

#3 came down last night so I guess 59~60 days. Again, I have the timer on for 11:15 now & ran it on for 11:45 for the first few weeks, FWIW.

Sour Lime Bubba. Lighter & leaves not as affy-thick but it's lime cleaner & bubba on the nose & growth pattern is very close to bubba. Got a little fade, but these got fed quite a bit & this one slowed her drinkin down earlier than I expected. Hoping for 3 oz off this one post harvest, wanted a QP per plant or better avg when I flipped them, we'll see.

Decent density (very nice density but her sisters are fooookin nuggets), but not huge tops & big gaps between budsites.

Lots of the weight coming from leaf as the calyxes are pretty small. Cooked 10 total seeds off 2 pollination sites & they are very small & dark brown.

Hole in my canopy lol.

I'll update when I cut another one down or next week whatever comes first.

Chopped down the #4 last night. ~62 days. KILLER OG/Sour nose. Almost like a slightly sweeter & slightly less deathly smelling sour. Still super loud & addictively pleasant to sniff. Tops are thin & DENSE & rest of the buds are smallish but hella dense. Could have done with 1 more wet/dry cycle, but I have to pull the rest of them within a week & I like to trim 1 plant at most in 1 night. I hate trimming

#4 from my hand to the left.

Cropped from there.

Weight looks to be there, hoping for 5+ from this plant. Chopping another in 2-3 days.

barletta · Apr 30, 2016

Chopped the #5 last night.

Pleasantly OG smelling. Earth & sweet pine & fuel & lavender/jasmine/gardenia? One of the branches smelled a lot more chem/paint/paintstripper for some reason. Very sexy & very fat & smells killer, but not as loud as when she was sucking up all that water & those nutes. Smoked the ~3g that I had pollinated & dried the seeded branch on my ballast. ~30 beans & the smoke is strong & pine-fuel right off the tree. Running all 5 from clone next, but this plant has my eye.

#5 mostly in the middle & towards the right. The #1 has branches snaking all around. Mostly, the #5 is the least faded out of the 3 pictured. Peep the big top that I fukkin molested last week digging for what I feared was male parts. It wasn't & I bruised the biggest top pretty badly.

Cropped from there

TK x LemChem #1. Longest flowering, will be coming down tomorrow night. Ideally she'd get another week, but I have another round over vegged waiting to get in this space. Seems like she's got great weight, as I clipped the smallish top that I pollinated last night & it was niiiice.

TK x LemChem #2. Obnoxious OG smelling. Funky foul sweet pine & musk & skunk. Falls down tonight.

Here are the funny 2 tops that I pushed fresh growth on bout a month ago. They will trim up fine to the eye of the uninitiated lol. Funny side note - Between them is a top from the #1 plant that was ~30% 'dudded' from growing into the first screen before pushing through it.
