Hey all! I'm still around 
not much time to take pics lately though... Took only some, I had no chance to take a pic to all of them, so I will post the best looking ones. Most of them are horribly out of focus 
The Assorted#2 had to be pruned. I took off the main cola because it was getting too fat and tall. Since it would not be consumed and the chances to get autopollinated were slim (at least) I did not mind. Also, the plant has developed male pollen sacks (at least I think so!), now let's see if that produces viable pollen... I will leave the plant to try and pollinate whatever it can inside the bucket. I have strong doubts about actually getting any seeds but...
The tiny Sweet Skunk#1 continues almost as small as before. Looks stunted, with a dark green top and yellowing lower leaves
The small 950ml pot gets dry fast, so I pour water more often on her (small amounts though).
The plants which are in big pots are getting really big, and all got more LST to get the best out of the small space. The Fast Bud is flowering fast and developing a nice amount of budsites. The Sweet Skunk#2 is also flowering quite fast and has a better color, although some leaves have nute burns. The youngest of all 3, the Sweet Cheese Auto, is actually the biggest one, and is showing the first female hairs already. From left to right, Fast Bud, SS#2 and SCA:
Finally the youngest of the bucket, the Sweet Afghani Delicious, is struggling to develop in a really micro pot, a 750ml tetrapak filled with soil and perlite. It has several leaf pairs already, and is really really tiny lol, probably a waste of a seed but oh well, I like experimenting. I'll try to take more pics soon. Thanks for reading!

Hey all! I'm still around the girls doing fine, and the Assorted#2 is definitely doing something there:
I'm not sure if those budsites have pollen sacks or actual seed pods this was the plant treated with CS. She/He has several "normal" female buds, but almost all budsites have these seed-like formations on them. If they are pollen sacks- hey there! That's what I originally wanted, let's see if some of the other girls makes some nice seeds. If they are seed pods, then there should be pollen too so the odds for having a good seed run are high... that's what I'm thinking but not really sure there! . She's been through a lot, and is 68 days old already.
The tiny Sweet Skunk #1 has been heavily LST'ed, in an attempt to get the best out of her. She smells quite nice already. Being a bonsai grants a minimal harvest, but this strain looks particularly low-yielding; at least this plant and also the other SS I have there are showing a pretty small flower size, especially compared to the Fast Bud and Sweet Cheese. She is 55 days old, nearing the theorical harvest time of 60. I'll let her go as much as she wants however
The next is the Fast Bud. She's doing great for now, several heads already show good sizes and the smell is great, exactly like my previous Fast Bud. I'm really in love with this strain
. She has been worked with LST to spread budsites apart. She's 39 days old today:
The Sweet Skunk Auto #2 comes next. She looks like the #1, although bigger. She's younger though (38 days). In my opinion this strain (or at least the 2 phenos I have in here) has a small flower size. Maybe this relates to the Skunk part (more sativa-like, if I'm not mistaken). Anyways, she looks good although she got a bit burnt even before applying any fertilizers. The whole looks are good anyways, and LST has been applied thoroughly to help develop several "big" colas:
The last of the 3 big potted plants, the Sweet Cheese Auto, looks really promising. She's younger than the previous 2 plants (32 days) but has the biggest leaves I ever had in my bucket grows. The main stem is really thick, and flowering is barely beggining now. I really have high hopes on this strain, because this individual has already shown a very nice vigor. I applied LST quite aggresively here to try to keep as much canopy inside the pot boundaries as possible:
And finally the youngest, most tiny of them all: the Sweet Afghani Delicious. She's actually doing quite fine on that micro pot of hers. She looks a bit droopy and is not as dark green as the other plants. The substrate in this pot has a lot of perlite, so the pot contains few nutes. I add a bit of Green Plant nutes every once in a while to her water:
And that's it for now! Time for a and a movie, see you soon! Best regards!

Good to see your fastbud going so well :booya: They sure do live up to their name, mine was finished in about six weeks! She had a nice skunky taste and smell. Did your Assorted#2 grow balls lower down on the plant before the 'seed pod' looking bits appeared? If they did then I suspect you may have seeds if not then I think they are preparing to pollenate. I've had some males in the past (15yrs +) and they were very different looking but I think this would be strain related? Green karma sent fella, keep up the good work :smokebuds:

Hey there! Currently I have almost no time to take care of my plants. I water them every 3 days and that's it. I'll try to take pics soon -no promises- but the Assorted#2 has balls on lots of budsites. I'm almost certain they are not seed pods, because some of those formations fell off and they look empty, as if they were pollen sacks. The thing is, if there is pollen it might not be viable, because I see no signs of seeds forming on the other plants. I guess there could be seeds forming inside the buds, without visible signs on the outside... Anyways, I ordered some Magic Dragons (taking long to arrive!) to be on the safe side. I wanted to create seeds but the experiment can go wrong!
Thanks for passing by CC!

No problem Sielm, it's my pleasure, I always like to see other peoples results with strains I have to see if I can pick up any advice or pointers. It sounds like your A#2 has had a failed attempt at hermie, maybe too late in it's life cycle. I'm not 100% about pollinating these girls but I know that when I grow my chilli peppers I have to self pollinate to ensure success, basically I mimic a bee with a small arts paintbrush, hell I even cross pollinate phenotypes to create my own blend so to say! I should imagine you have dissected the pods to investigate them, if not it may be a good idea to do so, you never know you may find some pollen in some of them. Any way good luck with all and I will be along for the ride :smokebuds:

Hehehe yes lots of work... too bad it's the "free" kind of work, at home and with the family etc. I'm unemployed ATM :/ although I try to be positive about that! At least I'll have a nice summer 
I'll take some shots later today. The AA#2 is really covered with sacks, maybe it was too late to try the CS, but we'll see... I would be happy to get seeds, but if I finally don't, the weed will be better everything has its positive side I suppose!
The other girls look good I'll update later!
Thanks for passing by friends! See you later!

Hey all! A promise is a promise, so I bring some pics. I took them while the plants were out drying after watering and misting. To be honest I'm not taking much care of them lately due to lack of time. But they look good anyway!
From older to younger:
Assorted#2: She's a shemale she's got lots of pollen sacks on the budsites that were sprayed with CS, and is 81 days old already. That's probably way more than she would have needed if I had let her go normally. I'm only keeping her to "maximize" the odds of pollinating the other plants. No other plant looks seeded though... We'll see when harvest time comes for them. As you can see in the pics, the stems are red and there are not many leaves (I took them off to allow more light/air movement, keeping in mind that this plant will not be consumed, but directly disposed of). The smell is really good though. A pity that I don't want silver poisoning 
Sweet Skunk#1: She's ripening ATM, still a really small dwarf but a good addition- I like the fact of having the interior bucket surface full with plants. The smell is good, and there is resin forming lately (maybe not much in the pic because the plants were just misted). All in all, it's not worth it to spend a (pretty expensive) seed in a ~1 liter pot. That's one of the reasons I would love to get my own seeds. That way I could use the smaller pots too without worrying about the money cost. She's 68 days old:
Fast Bud: the quickest out of the 3 big ones, she's ripening too and is not far from harvest time. I won't rush though, I will wait for more fattening and resin production. She's been flushed a couple of times, and I will probably be using pk13-14 on her 1 last time, before starting the final flushing schedule. She's 52 days old:
Sweet Skunk#2: looking good too, she's 51 days old and is obviously slower growing than the FB. The smell is exactly the same than the SS#1's, with nice hints of citric and mint.
Sweet Cheese: she's fattening and still growing, even weeks after flowering started. She's 45 days old. I'm impressed with the vigor of this individual, after tying her down with LST she would rise again in a matter of hours. She's really taller than I would like her to be, so I might apply further LST to even the canopy.
Sweet Afghani: The youngest one is doing relatively fine on her really small container. She's beginning to flower with 26 days. It won't be an easy ride for her, but hope is not lost
The plants in small pots are IMHO more difficult to grow. They have to be watered more often because the soil gets dry more quickly. The SS#1 has obvious signs of overfertilization, even though I did not feed her much nutes. The SAD looks less dark than the other plants, probably because of the soil mix which has lots of perlite (much more than the other plants). I guess that makes sense, less soil -> less nutes. I'll be feeding her a bit of guano to help with the inminent flowering.
Temps are getting pretty high around here, and that makes the interior of the bucket (and the room it's in) pretty hot. Max temps are reaching 32ºC on some occasions, although the little plants look happy anyways. Humidity is on the high side, normally ranging between 60-70%. Probably because I live near the shore!
And that's it for now! The small bucket keeps doing its thing- which is to have 0 dependencies on dealers and black market stuff. I have no weed ATM but luckily I have some friends who share their stash (and will of course taste mine when the time comes hehehe).
Thanks all for reading! Have a good day everyone!

Hey all there! Long time no see! I finally had some time today to take pics and update the journal.
First of all, I have already disposed of the Assorted#2. Unfortunately I could not take any pics that day. It's not a big deal though, the plant was almost completely covered with male pollen sacks, I cut through all its mass looking for seeds but there were no seeds (so I did not achieve a self-pollination with the treated plant). I wish it produced viable pollen so I get some seeds on the other plants though! The AA#2 also had some female flowers but they were not harvested because of the CS treatment.
Today I harvested the Sweet Skunk #1. It was 90 days old, it took quite a bit for it to mature probably because of the small pot (950ml). Good smell, decent amount of resin and a quite poor yield (I think this is strain-related). Pics before and after harvest:
The Fast Bud is also ready to harvest. I will flush her for a couple more days though. Most trichs are white/amber with just a few transparent. This is my 2nd Fast Bud and I'm pretty sure that this is the largest yielding strain I have grown yet. Both FBs were good yielders, filling the space with bud and responding really well to the LST each time I applied it. The smell is great too. Fortunately I still have some FB beans for future runs. This one is 73 days old!
The Sweet Skunk#2 is 72 days old. Same smell and looks than the SS#1 harvested today. She's clearly not a very big yielder. This strain tends to create smaller, isolated buds with more separation than the FB or the SCA. Nice amounts of resin. If this is supposed to be a Skunk-like weed I guess it would be better to harvest it without many amber trichs, or else it would get quite indica-like...
The Sweet Cheese Auto is 67 days old. This plant is finally developing a pretty decent amount of bud. At first I thought it would even surpass that of the Fast Bud, but now I think the SCA yield will be somewhere between the Sweet Skunk and the Fast Bud. The main stem got really fat and tall, even after several LST tying-downs. The buds are covered with really thick resin, and in some parts it's so soaked with resin that it resembles a broken glass, it scratches a lot!!!!!! I got a big scratch in my hand when I was messing around with it lol!. It smells like FOOT!!! I guess the name Sweet Cheese is faithful hehehe
Finally the Sweet Afghani Delicious Auto (SAD). It is 47 days old. It's grown quite decently for such a small pot (750ml). It's already covering the buds with resin. If all goes well it might surpass the yield of the Sweet Skunk#1, even when being in a smaller pot. We'll see...
And that's it for the plants currently in! Now I have a small pot free, and I'll probably be trying soon my most recent adquisition (a MAGIC DRAGON, WoHoOooO!!!). When I get a bigger pot free I will probably plant another MD, I want at least 2 dragons for my next run because they are regular seeds and I would love to get seeds... and quality weed, of course!
Thanks for passing by friends! See you soon!
