Welp, I'm glad to finally get the Purple Gorilla down, harvested her over 4 days, and turned a a couple of ounces of some whisky strangely larf into some sweet pine rosin. The buds are stickier and resinier than I thought, and more of it too at least 13+ zips. Here's some shots...

Strangely enough between week 5 and 6 the Blackberry Kush suddenly went from lime to normal. I was hoping for some kind of albino flowers, but she looks pretty standard now. The trichomes on the Purple Gorilla were half clear, but on this Blackberry Kush they are already cloudy after only a couple weeks of flower. I am wondering if the cold weather has anything to do with this.

It's been a real pleasure not to have to do any work on this Blackberry after getting that monster gorilla on her way, I don't think I've removed more and a couple of leaves since I gave her the mini scrog.

Fast Buds Auto Lemon Pie is also looking pretty normal. I am expecting something special from this one....

The Blackberry Kush is coming along fast, trichomes went cloudy quickly as opposed to what normally happens which is I'm lucky if I can get half of them cloudy. Virtually no defoliation necessary at all, just took off all the large dead leaves because there seemed to be plenty of small dark green leaves around the buds. This is only about day 52.

Quite the intense coloring on that blackberry. Very pretty. How long do you plan to let it run for? Sounds like it's close to ready from your description even though it's only 52 days.

She's been a strange one that's for sure, hard to get the lush greenery I got on the very first one I grew. I have plenty of weed at the moment so I will grow this for as long as it looks like it's still bulking up, I'll try and see if I can get it to age longer than I normally would but it's moving so fast now.

Blackberry Kush could come down anytime, but I'm gonna leave her up to see what happens.

Meanwhile Fast Buds's Lemon Pie auto, is a new experience for me. I could see she was going to be very stocky, she was not able to be topped even after 18 days, and as I did not want to let her grow naturally, I decided to bend her over which I have not even considered before. It's going to be hard to tell on this particular plant because I have not grown her before, but I'm quite liking the result so far.

I wsa able to get the first six branches to form a ring but then have the main cola sticking out to the side. This could actually work out better than topping, I will have to do a side by side comparison maybe I'll do that for the next grow.

Close to four zips for the Blackberry Kush, I have a love hate relationship with this plant. Lemon Pie Auto is coming along nicely with my new experiment in not topping, the entire plant is still only 8 inches tall. I've been keeping the nutrient on the low side at about 800ppm, it's beginning to get crowded but all the bud sites are out in the open with all the large leaves on the outside.


Meanwhile I have begun my freebie bean grow (all from seedsman) with three in one pot. First up is Northern Lights in Blue, NY Diesel in Red and Banana Kush in Yellow. They all came up around day 5 and 6 slowly at first due I think to the cold weather. I thought Banana Kush was not going to sprout but here she is.

Great idea with the colored marbles to know which is which.

You can see that the Banana Kush wasn't doing very well, I think it was just old seed, I planned on maybe just letting it grow as a single stem but it was obvious she had to come out. The roots looked healthy but she just had no vigour. Meanwhile NY Diesel, and Norther Lights are coming along well and looking very stocky. Topped at the 3rd node, they looked like a pair of cabbages for a while but after removing some leaves they are on their way. 26th tangle 27th defoliation 28th instant recovery

Lemon Pie is now nearing the end of week 8 and she is beginning to bud up. Her shape is looking very even, the jury is still out on this method of not topping. Next Lemon Pie will be topped so I'll see. Looks like another six weeks so this looks to be a 14 week plant.

Lemon pie is looking really fantastic there!
