Hows it going everyone? :smokeout:

I thought I would create a thread for the finish of these three ladies. :dancer:

First, an over view of what has been done up to this point. I don't keep meticulous notes on my grows, so I'll tell you what I can.

The seeds were germed and placed into roots 707 soil in red solo cups. I then transplanted them into 1 gallon pots, and finally in the 3 gallon pots. I've been feeding them the General Organics GO box. I started them at 50% the recommended feed schedule, and brought it up to 100% feed schedule be the end of VEG. They've also been given Great White, and Carbo Load the last 4 weeks of flower.

I switched the plants to flower (12/12) once the tallest plant (TGA) reached 13" in height. All plants were topped at the 5th node.

And here we are. I had to prematurely chop one cola this morning to avoid having to pay for weed, so that's why there is a big open spot on one of the plants.

First up is the TGA genetics Space Dawg. I originally popped 4 of these regular beans, and got one female out of the bunch. She had a big stretch, and wide internodes. She's getting fairly frosty, but hasn't swelled as of yet. My best guess is she has another 2-3 weeks before the big chop.

Next up is the first of the Voshan seed and mercantile fat budda. These where free seeds that came with the TGA beans. I believe these are a bubba kush X OG Kush cross. Both of these ladies tried to be males at one point. I picked off a dozen or so pollen sacks from each of them a few weeks back. Since the pollen sacks were down low on the plant, I opted to just pull them off and hope for the best. So far, so good. I think these two ladies have a good 2 weeks left before harvest. I usually go by the looks of the trichomes. All three of these plants are mostly cloudy, with no amber yet. Once I get a bit of amber, I'll harvest.

For those of you playing along at home, that is a 4x4 tent with a Mars II 1200 led.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day....I'll keep ya updated from here on out. Feel free to chime in!

Fraaaaaaaankaaaay!!! Well where have you been?!?! Great to see you back bro!! Nice chunky buds!!! I'm all in!
Hey bro!!! Hows it going???

Things got a little hectic with my old man's cancer treatment. It turned into a full time job overnight, and unfortunately my plants and pretty much every thing else suffered. Good news is.....his treatments are over, he's bouncing back pretty damn good, and (best of all!!!....don't tell him I said so...lol) he's back home and gearing up for his yearly fishing trip (basically leaves to go fishing in the spring, comes back home in the fall..).

Anyway...its good to be back..and great to hear from ya!!! I hope all has been well in your neck of the woods. We're currently getting a blizzard....so thats cool! :rofl:
 
Just to give a little update.....
I chopped the fat budda that I took a cola off of the other day. The trichs we're 100% cloudy with almost no amber. I prefer to let them amber a bit (helps a little better with my pain...) but I also prefer not to trade money for medicine...so here we are. Unfortunately the battery died on my scale, so we will get a dry weight in a few days when the flowers are dry and in jars.

Also, I fed the other plants plain water this morning. That's what they will get until harvest.

I got into the zone during the harvest this morning and neglected to take any pics. I'll get a few pics up once I get a weight, and the bud is in jars.

I decided to take a couple pics of these two ladies this morning. They will both be coming down in the next few days. They're starting to amber up a little bit, and have swelled. The Fat Budda I chopped the other day (a bit early) yielded 61 grams.
Up first is the TGA genetics Space Dawg.

Have a great day!!!:smokeout:
 
Hey frank...any chance you will be doing any detailed smoke ad grow reports on these strains? Plants are looking good!

Yes! I harvested the last two yesterday. I want to wait to get them down to 62% so I can include some weights in the report. I can say the sample buds I've been puffing on are outstanding smoke!!:baked:

Excellent...thanks for the efforts bud! Please do include medical smoke properties in your reports!
 
Alright....I chopped them, dried them to (around) 62% and have been smoking on them for a few days now.

I was not at all happy with this grow, to tell you the truth. Both of the fat budda's tried (and did) hermie on me part way through flowering. It affected the overall yield, but it is what it is. The meds are still pretty good........

So....here's a pic of what is left (Like I said, I've been using it)......
IMG_0334.JPG
The two jars to the left are the space dawg, the middle three are one plant of the fat budda, and the lone jar to the right is what is left of the other fat budda (I already smoke another jar of it, and this was the plant I chopped a little early). I went ahead and chopped these ladies down (admittedly) a bit early, but after the hermies, I just wanted to get the tent ready for me next crop of auto's. I don't really weigh my meds (don't see the point) but if I had to guess I bet I got around 2.5 ounces from each plant.....on average.

Here's a close up of Fat Budda [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] (the numbers are my designation).....

And here's Fat Budda [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]

After some further research I learned that Fat Budda is a pre '98 Bubba Kush x Old Island Indica (as far as I can tell this is a landrace indica....). This is a medium heavy indica that is pretty good for daytime pain relief, as well as night time relaxation with a little more consumption. It has a mango like, juicy fruit flavor, and is a pretty smooth smoke. I has some seeds in it, but overall is a B+ smoke.

Last up is the TGA Space Dawg......
IMG_0336.JPG

I originally ordered the Space Dawg seeds because I was in search of a great medicinal strain. TGA's website gave this a grade of 11 (1-10 scale ?) for medicinal strength. I don't know if its THAT good, but it is a light indica stone, with excellent pain relief properties. This doesn't do alot for sleep on its own, but is a great daytime pain relieving smoke. This takes my pain away in under 5 minutes, and last for about an hour and a half before I have to re-medicate. The taste is somewhat fuely with a little fruity undertone. The buds did swell, but the node spacing was very far apart. This plant had lots of popcorn buds, with very sparse tops. I have one more seed of this I might grow out doors in the future, but I don't think I'll take up the space in my tent with either of these strains again.

Its all good smoke and does the trick, just not my preference. This grow reminded my why I prefer auto's for my needs.

I hope you all have a great day! :smokeout:
