That looks killer!

Thank you!
The colas have 2 more weeks to fatten up.....might get a respectable harvest. Final trim will be easy. LOL!

Mini Tyrone, 5 cm tall.

This cutting was stuffed in root bound soil at DAY 38, here she is 2 weeks later.
She never wilted, just put down roots and started making trichomes. She doesn't get much light, but doesn't complain.... a fine quality... maybe I could do some gene splicing with my girlfriend.

I suspect the new roots are enough for water, but not enough for Nutes. She is sucking nutes out of her fan leaves to compensate.

Looking incredible Bubba, looks like the hair cut you give her its going to work pretty well !!! Looking foward to the end of it !!!

It is pretty wild that all this abuse works, and it encourages me to try more stuff.
Next week I will start grafting Fantasmo cuttings onto Tyrone's body. If just one graft takes off... wow!

Hey, how about a container of just colas. No stalks, no branches... just 5 separate colas growing straight up.
Mr Corgy could do it with the leftover plants from his "white strain" test.
Hint hint, nudge nudge

This is an hourly graph of CO2 levels in my bedroom where my grow closest is.

The room is 4 meters long and 5 wide. The CO2 peaked at over 1080 PPM from my breathing overnight. Then I sealed up the room and left. Over the next 36 hours the two Tyrones sucked up all the Carbon Dioxide down to 27, yes 27 PPM. Normal everyday levels are 400ppm... they were gasping for air and shutting down to survive.

Maybe interesting for us home growers. Maybe useful to see how fast plants can suck up the CO2 in a closed room. Even small plants such as these heavily pruned Tyrones need fresh air, not just airflow.

I suppose this is obvious to most growers, but I didn't know it until I tested it. It might help micro growers or PC growers.

This is what happens in an air tight grow room, very bad for plants.

The room is 4 long and 5 meters wide (my bedroom). The CO2 peaked at 1250 from my breathing overnight. Then I sealed up the room and left. Over the next 36 hours the two Tyrones sucked up all the Carbon Dioxide down to 27, yep 27 PPM. They were gasping for air.

Get a Co2 bag, easy fo sheezy

It is my bedroom, I don't want any supplemental CO2 in my bedroom, except heavy breathing.

I just thought it was interesting info. I haven't seen anybody post stuff like this. Who knows, maybe low CO2 levels interfere with yields for some home growers.

I guess I should have added some info about plant growth and CO2. The CO2 levels in my room were off the bottom of the scale at 0% photosynthesis within 24 hours. And the room started with high CO2, not the typical 400 ppm.

Day 51 Well slap me with a bag of bricks.... the smaller Tyrone is showing a lot of Amber. It is hard to believe, but I am right here staring at the colas.

I would appreciate opinions, would you harvest now?

I am worried that they are getting too ripe. Have I bungled another harvest?
Certainly the trichomes are plenty cloudy, but I have no need for all those CBN filled amber trichomes,
and they will amber up more while drying.

Huge thanks to @Rhyce Saroni for reminding me that higher CO2 makes plants finish early.
