Smart move for sure!
That’s one of the traits I look for in a keeper/mother. Both my Cherry Ice Cream and Blue Dream buds taste and smell great as soon as they are dry enough to smoke.
I did that with some Cherry Ice Cream a couple years back, let it go like 12 weeks (normally go 9 or 10 weeks depending if I’m using far red and 13/11), could see the amber trichs with the naked eye real easy, buds looked covered in a red fuzz. My friends called it heroin bud, was extremely narcotic and sleep inducing,
Outstanding, I wouldn’t want a whole plant of that, but will definitely need to let some go in the future and be sure to properly label that stash… For evening use only…
This is definitely a plant I’d have taken a clone off of had I been set-up to do so. For now cloning / keeping mothers remains on the “some day” list. Everything about this pheno was outstanding (except her propensity to try to grow through the roof).
Yeah I did the bottom half of one plant after taking the tops and labeled those jars as Cherry XXX, was powerful stuff, will have to make some more for those extra-insomnia nights.
Great numbers man. Can’t wait 4 the pic
The SOB is amazing. The smell and taste is outstanding for sure. All of my close friends that have tired it have all said they love it. I will be filling my room up with this strain after a couple grows of some fems. And I agree with you on the amount of time it took to show sex. Would have loved to keep them in solos until they showed but didn’t happen.
I actually DID keep them in solo’s the whole time.
Drove me mad watering / feeding 3x or so per day, but the plants didn’t mind. Roots were certainly getting a little crowded by transplant time but surprisingly nothing out of line considering.
They reached down quickly once I transplanted in the 3 gallon bags and I was able to turn the Autopots on faster than I would have expected.
Root shot at the end of her time in the solo:
Wow!!!
Out of curiosity do you think all that time in a solo affected your final yield on the sob?
Thanks for sharing Professor; what is the purpose of the 13/11 schedule?
Sweet! Looks so golden and delicious brother. You can see the individual trich bits…
Beautiful roots
That’s where I gave in and transplanted into 3 gal. There’s no way I could feed them 3x a day. I ended up feeding 2x a day in flower with the 3 gal. Im ordering parts now for a auto watering system. What turned me away from the auto pots is feeding from the bottom.
Ya really making me hate the fact I didn’t drop 1 this round
@Pinboy , I don’t think so. The plant was VERY healthy throughout the veg cycle both in the solo and in the final 3 gallon.
@Bamamojo, 13 dark helps simulate fall and can help force a plant to finish.
@Loudman , why the aversion to bottom feeding?
Ok so still just barely proficient in this art but another temple ball from the SOB. Slowly improving the technique.
This plus the previous 2g from the same plant = 5.24g temple ball hash plus some dirtier kief I kept separately.
I just don’t like the idea of my pot sitting in the water.
