Indoor Robwars Cannonball Run Grow (3 strains + LED)

[Firstmass]

Hey Rob no worries,

I don't have much of a journal as I arrived here a little late but I'd appreciate you taking a look, any pointers would be hugely appreciated. Its called the "The story so far" and its in the new growers section.

Thanks.

Anybody ever harvested NLxBB (world of seeds)? Mine's at 12 weeks tomorrow, all of her leaves are yellowing and have been for 2-3 weeks now at least. She's full of sugar, red hairs, a few amber trichs here and there but she's still growing!!! Super foxtailing finger nuggets off of her colas with white crystal covered hairs at the tips of every cola. I love it!! But I'm not sure when to take her down... I've been flushing her for just about two weeks now. Any help when to pull this bedazzled beauty would be appreciated. (two day old pics one page back)

I missed a few days, Rob, and just fell on my ass after the shock from the harvest pics of those fat, juicy beauties! This thread needs a warning sign for people with blood pressure issues. They need to be warned to med up before checking in.

+ rep for all that sticky f@cking mess, and for that big fat NLxBB!

My opinion... You got so much fine, fresh herb. Let her go till she can't no more. Watch what the trichomes do, and if the amber keeps coming, let it come.

Fantastic growing!

Noods you're f@cking awesome! Thanks so much bro

As far as the NLxBB that's what I was thinking... the only issue is I need the space she's taking up. I think I can afford to give her another couple of weeks though at least.

Thanks again Noods :smokebuds:

What's up rob, I've read different places that foxtailing is good for the eyes but not the buds.. I'll explain. Generally foxtailing (FT) is caused by heat, too much N late in flowering, and generally most cases genetics. I know for a fact that yours is genetics because obviously you know what you're doing. One thinks that she is putting on extra weight whenever she keeps producing larger calyxs on top of one another shooting out white hairs. However, this is actually messing with the bud structure which may end up causing airy buds.

I had 2 diavolo phenos do this to me. The buds looked so fat but once trimmed it was so airy I was forced to make hash out of her. I've read that some plants prefer less lights when they get close to the end of thier lives. Also that lower temps help to keep the density higher to slow down bud growth keeping it tighter.

Just my opinion man. You've done a great job so far. If she were to keep foxtailing I would think that would only be hurting her for another 2 weeks. I think she's ready to be harvested. The thc will mature once she dies an begins to cure. Have you done a taste test yet?

@Truu

Thanks for stopping by my friend and I think you may be on to something... The foxtailing didn't start happening till just a couple of weeks ago when my tent temps started climbing... I have been battling the heat ever sense. Temps have been reaching 88 degrees at the hottest point of the day, mind you it's only 88 for a bit (minutes) and then I open the tent up and blast a fan in front of it and cool it off for the rest of the day. The only growth I am noticing lately is the foxtails. I have done a taster and she's mind numbing, and those were just a couple little airy buds from the bottom.

Sigh...

I'm not afraid to chop this slut down :head:

You got this my friend! Smoke a couple joints of her and let her speak to you lol.

Ha!! Just did that... She has now entered the darkness. When she awakes in 2 days time I will introduce her to my axe :ama:

Here's a little update. Things are winding down here, the NLxBB was chopped yesterday after about 60 hours of darkness. Meant to chop her on Sunday night after 48 hours but just ran out of time so I gutted her yesterday morning. We'll get to that in a bit . Finally got my room in order, new AC, new carbon filter/fan x 2, 2nd tent set up (and running), and I have 5 new girls in my life. Temps are 77 and RH is 48% in both tents now, very happy.

So here's a glimpse of the 2 Bio Diesel girls that I chopped last week. They both turned out an impressive (for me anyway) 95 grams of dry/almost cured meds. Stoked :head:
I've never had any diesel strains before... This shit is wild, smells like cat piss, tastes good actually, and hits me with a "creeper" buzz a few minutes after I smoke her. Real nice body buzz thing going on with no anxiety.

I tried to get some closeup pics of some of the buds but they all turned out blurry. I'll try again next time I get the camera out.

NLxBB
Sacrificed on day 86
This is the last known pic of her seen alive

I'm hoping for 2+ zips off of her, she trimmed up nice and is hanging around doing her thing for now. I'll get some nice bud shots after she's dried and semi cured.

Final weights for this grow so far
2 x Bubbleicous = 44 grams
2 x Bio Diesel Mass = 95 grams
1 x NLxBB = ??

I wanted an ounce per plant (5 plants) so it looks like I'll go over that. Very happy, considering 3/4 of this grow was maintained over emails and pictures from 2000 miles away.

AFN
