LONG LOST UPDATE

So this is going to be a long page update. Things got really crazy out there in the world, didnt they? WOW. So I had a lot going on with these babies. THere are no longer 3 of them, but only 2. I kept #1 and #3. #2 ended up being scraggly, and really really leggy. I wouldnt have minded leggy, if she would have stacked along with it, but she wasn't much of anything but a mold magnet, so I had to kill her. :(
#3, she's a small one, I call her 'knuckles' because she grows these huge knuckles on the bases of her branches. She doesnt seem to be doing much with them though. So far even my original Glue Breath is far outpacing her, even though I have to do a drastic trim with her multiple times throughout the grow. No need to with either #2 OR 3, they are both pretty open, and let the light down to the bottom.
#2, she's actually stacking up to be something. She's taken the AYP's spot. I killed her off the other day. She was a mold magnet. Never had a problem till I brought that clone into my room. I hated that plant by the time I chopped her.
She's GIGANTIC, filling up half of a 4x4x7 tent, only sharing it with another (original) Glue Breath. She's a few (2-3 ) wks into flower now, and looking really pretty. Knuckles is not doing much. As far as looks, the buds look like twins of the one next to her (original. both of the new seeds share a tent with a Glue Breath original, so I can compare. )
It's still going to be a tough choice. I wont know for sure which one i will keep until the end, but one things for sure...
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
#1 GB 2-17-1.JPG
THIS is the one I kept. She's really turning out to be something. Ill get some new photos of her up this weekend.
#1 HT GB 2-17-1.JPG
metric measurement. she topped out my yardstick. This is just a couple of days before I gave her her own tent to share with a glue breath original. I am keeping things pretty sparse right now, because I want there to be room in my grow for a couple of competitions. I didnt expect her to get as big as she did, considering OG and Knuckles are shorter, bushier phenos. She surprised me.

Heres a couple of photos of #3 knuckles, next to an OG glue breath. You can see why i expected smaller plants. Both are inHUGE pots, too, so they could have gotten big if they had wanted to. :( The original is on the right, the new seed on the left. I don't think #3 is going to make the cut, do you?? Unless those buds are so stellar I cant help it.

Great photo's and good job. I am subbed into learn and share. I have grown a few Mephisto's strains and love em.
 
why thank you! I'm in the process of filling up my blog with what I currently have growing. I'm perpetually harvesting, planting, and there's always something interesting going on. Not only my glue breath, but i also have 5 mystery seeds I dropped at the same time. Its just the GB was just so strong, they popped up within 48 hrs of planting (from a soak till they sank) . I'll be starting a journal on them when they come up. I would love to share and get help with those too because I have no idea what they are! they could be literally anything cannabis.
 
Very nice. I'm all for the keeping of genetics by smaller growers, and that looks a lovely plant. I had a similar issue myself, with a Jamaican Haze & was rewarded with a single lovely female in the last seed.

Can't wait to see more.

Me either. The one i have of her growing now, is really a pain to deal with. She get light stressed SO easy. does NOT like more than 14 hours of light, period. and she HATES LED light. Once I drop her down to 12/12 , and her spectrum changes some, she goes from a light green, scraggly streesed out mama to the lush tree you see in the photo with the DARK leaves(blue background). They look like two different plants. If you dont do at least 2 drastic trims, and some intensive training out,you won't get much but some amazing tops, and a whole lotta larf. She was one of my first 5 plants to pop (the other 4 were mephisto)and she's the primary reason I've gotten as good at shaping plants as I have. It would be nice to get both a male and female out of these seeds. She reminds me so much of that old school Northern Lights I used to get, and you don't see much anymore. drives me crazy not knowing her lineage

unfortunately, all my seeds were female:( my search continues for a male like her. It was funny, NEITHER of her sisters was anything like her either. One I call Lemon Funk, I'm keeping her. the other was soso. skinny, not a lot of bud. REALLY weak stems. flopping all over the place. My chances of finding a male thats like her now, are slim to none. You just dont see Northern Lights out there much anymore... unless I'm missing a strain? You got any suggestions for a Nor Lights-leaning male? I was REALLY hoping that one of them would be a male.
