holy crap Anthro, really?? that's insane,... 2x as long as it should have been,... Indeed, time for a fresh start!
... looks like the FairyBreaths are a flop this time! the smaller just isn't making any bud.. tons of frost, but little flowers,... worse, the other is showing nanners now!

What a shit-show,... no ideas what caused that! The poor flowering one is just a crap pheno' which happens at F2, but the hermie is a face slap,... what a waste,... now I have to find someplace to dump that pot, at least get some extract out of it!

Rough news there Waira, yours has been a rollercoaster ride haha! Yeah I took another long look at em last night and decided they were ready for the blades this morning. Chopped all but the reboot pots of Tombstones, they're at about 80 days and want another 2 or 3 weeks. They're more on schedule since they didn't have as much heat and got the clean water. Got lots 'o yummy chop pics, will just put em in the weekly Sunday update. Darn am I anxious to try the Blackberry Stone! Where's the mouth watering smiley lol! Briman hit a home run with those for real.

UPDATE, Week 14*, KindSoil test for [HASHTAG]#autoflower.net[/HASHTAG]
----
*Clarifications: Went and triple checked my dates, some of the dates got messed up when I copy and merged some of my posts over to my individual KindSoil journal thread. Thought I was on day like 150, incorrect sorry. I chopped the Sweet Seeds and Blackberry Stones a couple days ago on Fri Sep 30th. For the Sweet Seeds that chop day would be day 102 for those. So Week 14 above soil for those. I had to reboot a few pots that were failed, those got repopulated with Blackberry Stones, so chop day 96 for those, or week 13. The Tombstones were the third reboots of more failed pots that were Sweet Seeds. They are still growing, got a couple weeks left I think on those, they're on day 74 or week 10. Good grief, yeah this grow round had lots of issues lol but I made the best of it!

HARVEST ALERT!
Chopped the fat Blackberry Stone in the [HASHTAG]#kindsoil[/HASHTAG] and chopped all the ones in my soil.

KindSoil Blackberry Stone Harvest: this one really came through in the end! Nice mass, tight nugs, insanely dense cola, great terpenes and trichome production. It was looking rough in the beginning, but by harvest time it did do a pretty good service to KindSoil.
Pre-trim:

Post trim, about to be cut and hung whole, beautiful nuggetry!:

----
My soil side harvests: I'll do clicky thumbnails here so it hopefully won't bog down the page with my non KindSoil ladies.

Red Poison: beautiful as always, just eternally one of my favorite strains to grow.
Pre-trim: Trimmed:
Cola:
--
Sweet Seeds Cream Mandarine XL: I thought it was also doomed but it bounced back and came through nicely. Extremely sticky and stinky!
Pre-trim: Trimmed:
Cola:
--
Blackberry Stone single pot: could've been better but it did okay. Wonderful aromas!
Pre-trim: Trimmed:
--
Blackberry Stone trio pot: they kinda had trouble getting along for a while, and didn't produce much but hey, any bud is better than no bud haha!
Pre-trim: Trimmed:
--
Everybody cut and hung! Collectively a nice pull considering my nightmarish summer lol! And still 4 KindSoil Tombstones to go!!

----
KindSoil Tombstones are still rocking along great! They have a strong case of the yellows now, but it's late enough now that it doesn't matter too much. I'm thinking they have two or three weeks. Sugar production and pistils are on track, and the trio pot is definitely outperforming the trio pot of Blackberry without KindSoil.
(oops it won't accept more pics in this post lol, see next post)

Anthro's Thai Temple buds! --they all look mighty tasty to me mate, especially that top BbS's! But it's fun to have some nice pheno' variation too ...Mmmm, with Sweet, the resin is automatic-- CM is one of their best and that's saying something! - I'm still pissed my CM croaked out from that shite soil issue.... That color on RP never gets old, right? Concord grape all the way! Quality look great on them all, despite the hard ride they got this Summer
:smoking: Well my friend, it looks like it's just you and me for a little bit longer... .... at least for you- I have a ways to go still, but at least the best part is here now! I'll have an update Sun., I skipped last week because I was pissed about the soil tapping out so badly and fast, and was scrambling to deal with that and the heat wave we got... I do see the same defc. issues staring in ours as mine-- N and especially P, both combine to make the fans waste away like ice on hot concrete! As you'll see for me, it's P that really depleted rapidly, but that's really not KS' fault considering how long the veg'ed and big they got,...

good to roll with ya hear Anthro'! I'm glad you got some fine bud after all!

 

[briman]

Nope, I'm still here! Lurking, bud porn watching! Great lineup of ganja Anthro! I am dyin for a brief smoke report on these ladies! Your input will be most valuable!! Good or bad, I want your thoughts, please. If you find one pheno better than the others, let me know.

~~{{{ PHAT UPDATE! }}}~~ ​

It's prime time budding now! As mentioned previously, I've had to start feeding them all, especially after some rapid on-set of P defc., and now some early N defc. showing on a few as well, including 2 of the AG's, just getting started with bloom- -- 'course, those poor girls are in tight shoes now; Both younger ones are in 5's, and both are about 5.5' tall! .. Meantime, I believe that P defc. started earlier than thought, by the time symptoms showed there was some compromise to the degree of bud-set... ... most were looking more leafy than they should, so I've been scrambling to get P ramped up in there and cycling; I think this great product called Mammoth P has been effective in speeding the uptake! --it's a special microbe blend that's aimed more for P and micronute turnover specifically- .. so, I'm seeing some improvement in the bud:leaf ratio, but it's not what I'm used to getting dammit! We'll see what the next couple weeks brings,... I've been using mostly organic bloom nutes, but I've had to throw in some synthetics to get those fat P-K #'s up to correct things ASAP,... I'll stop them when and if I can, depending on responses of course,...
First in is going to be an FG, likely next week sometime! This is the only one that had normal bud:leaf going on, oddly- - man I wish I had clones of her, this is a killer pheno'! Her sister is totally different in aroma, and bud appearance... I'll have to ask Mephisto Mitch about that


>> Acapulco Golds--

>> Blue Velvet-- resin machine! And trying to grind out more flowers... Aroma is very nice, dark berries and citrus, with a back note of that eucalyptus/camphor/menthol essence...

** more coming right behind this**

 

[Waira]

>> Flavor Grapes-- big differences between their aromas, so much so I can't believe they're related! The more mature one is spot-on for name's sake: grape punch taffy candy ... the other is very much along OG-Kush lines... built differently too...

>>> Kalishnapple x Sw. Tooth-- interesting bud, Sati'-dom. looking, very hairy! Trich's are late to form, but getting going now, plus the Bud Factor-X is kicking in too,..Her perfume is superb if not strong yet... exotic floral and incense!

 

[Waira]

>> Skywalker x White Widow-- another resin machine! heavenly aroma too-- sweet fruits and incense,...

>> Green Angel- cool little boosh with purple stigmas ... delish aroma too, tropical fruit candy!

 

[Waira]

... And lastly, the FairyBreaths, now isolated due to nanners forming on the taller one ; one is done, with horrid flower production but great resins,... the other nanner'ed is still building bud, so let it be for now,.. nanners seem poor, not opening, drying out first it felt like? I can only hope! Film at 11 on these,... beautiful colors on the one though, a perfect reflection of her Lambsbread mother!
