------ -- Oh man, it's sizzlin' in there! ...more fine work luv, you are doing the genetics proper!

Good gawd that Sweet Bread has that totally classic Hashplant resin crust going ... and the aroma is making me drool,... foooock, I wonder if she's an OD candidate, mold resistant,...
LF, yet another heavy fox-tail pheno',... more of that than there should be IMO,... well, you see what's happening at their section... LF has some riff-raff to breed out, unless this is somehow linked to the Friesland in her and the potential off-performance that some of those type of strains have... About half are getting nice solid buds with decent yields so far,... Who's the nice chunky chick next to her, the Megabud zKittles?
The Jungle Queens are looking really juicy RG! ... what day are you on now, total/bloom? I'm not sure ACE said what the odds are on getting the Red head pheno',... no idea what's up with the odd leaves either on A5,....
... I see @Damien50 has found his way here - ... need to check in on that Zama' x KaliChina! ...he's my "preview" for that strain, like your Panama's are

I previewed it earlier and currently. Smells like fresh diesel and hits with good vibes.

Then because I love you both so much Check This

Thank you, the Panama has been a fairly easy gal to grow so far. She has thrown out a few nanners, but at the calyxes so easy to nip off. I read in the ACE thread on IC that the sativas can do that. I'm not sure about her clones, I also noted that sometimes the clones won't show the trait like that. I dunno time will tell.

I have never trimmed a stickier plant than that Sweet Bread, I have some Nila Wafer coming that shares very similar lineage so I hope I find a winner in that pack. I think I mentioned that?

Btw the chunky chick, 1st photo on page 17? That is the Sweet Bread, if so.

I'm on day 40 abouts flower for the Panama, I have to check my iPad for the total days and it is in the basement and my ass is heavy this morning Need some coffee in me.

Well I certainly don't love you for showing me MORE cool seeds That will be the next step I'm sure, growing some really pure landrace strains. I do have some Mextiza I want to run to get some breeding stock off of.

She was a nice citrus, pretty decent functional high. I got two more now from seed, I'll clone and see if either one is a keeper. The maturation time alone was wicked tho, bang on 50 days in hydro can't beat that

50 days in hydro is pretty awesome... It could race autos with a short veg time. Sounds great, I'll keep an eye out for your upcoming quick criticals! You have a ton of awesome genetics going, it's a great show!

Thank you, such nice compliments you give
I'm almost tempted to throw one of the QC's into flower at day 33 but I do recall the others had a slow veg then exploded, so I think I'll wait until day 40. I think I'm gonna get those a5's into 12/12 as well @ day 40, apparantly they don't stretch too bad but I also have the issue of having room in the flower tent (for once) and my veg tent is backed up and too packed.

OH @Waira that Panama is at day 35 flower, 88 days overall. About 7 weeks in veg kinda long but the clones are way faster.

Hope all had a great holiday, plants never rest so I've been busy.

First up is the last Megabuds Giant Skittlez, showing the most Critical Mass dom pheno so far (see the bottom leaf is Dinafem Quick Critical +, leaves are very similar). I cloned the GS so I am hoping this plant turns out like the others.

I am hoping that the GS above has buds like this one that is day 47 of flower.

Got all the Killer a5 Haze's in the 4x8 tent and on the reservoir (finally got that going again). They were pretty sad first day but bounced back fast. Note the top right one is a very different pheno than the other three.

Other side of the 4x8, 2x Giant Skittlez, Lava Freeze and Panama

Big difference getting these gals into the flower tent, little Killer from above is already going gung ho. She was alone in the tent for a few days but loves being on the res with her sisters. I don't know why, but I really like her a lot. I'll see what the final results are, I have clones from all of them in case something stellar shows up.

Huge difference, I think my plants hate the veg tent but I don't know what to do different. Maybe the lights are really shit, but I have the best ones in here. And yes, I need to get the power bars up off the floor in case of a leak. Res is up against an outside wall and the water is really cool, I need to take the temp of it but I think it is really helping the gals out as they look stellar in comparison to just two days ago.

Ace Panama, gorgeous sativa spikes, but check out the lower leaves, almost as wide as long. I will see how she smokes but I expect a fairly potent herb. Two more from seed are waiting in the veg tent, while two clones from this one are flowering and more clones wait to go.

The plants are beautiful! You need a blog lol.

Looking great all around...

I'm psyched to hear your smoke reports for the various Ace strains you are running.... The plants all look stellar, especially that Panama!

I'm going to run one of theirs next (I must have caught the Sativa bug) but still deciding which one. They seem to have a great reputation, aaand you can order directly from them to the states which is super rare...

So this is a weird thing I'm noticing about using newer leds in veg is that as the plants gain more leaf mass they seem to be more sensitive to light. When I first have little seedlings the light is at about 11000 lux 24/0 above the main stem and they grow real vigorously.

Then after a week I notice they are a no longer praying, maybe a little droopy. So I give them a night period and reduce the lux to like only 8-9000. They perk up and resume growing full speed.

Not sure if my anecdote will matter in your scenario, your veg plants look great but if you think there aren't fully happy in there you might try a longer night period or dim/raise the light?

Either way, plants look great, this is an awesome garden to watch!

I know, I want to start one up for something I am running now, probably the Cannarado but I need them bigger or it's boring :smoking: Oh and the Ace I got more of as stated below.

Great to hear you want to run Ace, I was looking at the site today and I don't know if I hate myself or love myself, but I bought more seeds. Sigh. Got The Pakistan Chitral Kush and the Red Sapphire, I need some indica in my life. Chose Malawi x PCK for the freebies. Paid by bank transfer so hopefully it goes smooth and the seeds make it, no replacement if they don't.

But I looked at Congo and Nepal Jam, both sativa that are shorter and faster flowering may be good for your tent?

I'm on 18/6, just realized my one auto has been on that time... Oops. But 20/4 works too, I feel the plants need a rest. They aren't hating life, but damn they sure perk up in the flower tent. My VPD is not too bad, and the lights should be fine for veg. I realized the last time I grew monsters was when I had the recirculating system going, and I think that is what they love. But I also have gotten decent results with the individual buckets. I'll experiment, maybe raise the lights although they are pretty low power in there.

Thanks for the kudos, I will start a blog soon and tag you into that. Keep Damian50 happy :smoking: Also looks like a good way to journal.

whaaaa? Do you mean nanners, as in incomplete male flowers in the bud itself, or complete ones at the stem junctions where presex'ers are? .... yeah, that's true, "hemp" especially, but some (full/landrace) Sati's and certain strains are more prone to show them... ditto for fem seeds in general; I've had some "mystery seeds" show up now and again! Never saw nanners or anything, and you know how closely I eye-hump- - daily,...
Sweet Bread, I didn't see her around anymore? Oh yaah, I licky lots, long time - .... Trim misery, I get it- That Gorilla Breath was a 2-tubes PITA to process, resin turns into fucking contact cement even when fresh!
Looks like the jungle chicks will likely finish as described - .... Panama is on the list, and f'-it, I'ma try the Malawi, it's time for people to be scared of pot again! ... 'course, so is the Zam' x Kali-China.... I can't believe how naughty your are, more ACE seeds! ....I have to figure how how the hell I'm gonna get them beans to me, think I have a potential relay... Noted on bank transfer, was it Zelle by chance?

>>> the gang is looking phat and sassy luv! Is one of the GS down and dry yet?.. sure looks juicy,... All the buds have chunked out nicely
KA5's shaping up so well RG, I can't wait to see them prime time! You will scare peep's with her, I'm legit'ly predicting... Don't give that shizzle to the easily spooked smokers, you know who they are.... nobody likes a white-out!

..... Ok, you're becoming a football widow now, time to go get busy at my friends place...
