I ran two packs and both packs had some great nasty phenos. It's definitely been a crowd pleaser. They yield well too and I got zero straight up Stardawg phenos in both packs.
What's been going on over here?....people aren't happy with the dad Gu is using also fake pics getting posted? Wtf! Seems like alot of strains keep throwing out pistils all the way through. That is a trait I truly hate.

You're not alone. Its really a chem4 trait IMO and it seems to express frequently with Stardawg. JJs SDs are known to display this too.
They can be a total pain in the ass but for some the potency you get from final product is worth it.

Chemdogs have always been known to be on the "difficult" scale and not a good choice for beginners. Outcrosses/hybrbids seem better. And I'm definitely NOT saying you're a beginner or anything like that. Please don't take my post that way. Just relaying info I've read while sharing my own experience with them.

Its less severe with clones so maybe not but in my experience they don't respond well when pushed.
And that seems to be the consensus with seasoned growers who've dialed those chems in over the last decade or so.

Late nanners pop up if pushed or given too high a dose of nitrogen in the final stretch. Dialing the light back gradually helps the pistol recede and ensures new ones don't sprout over night. (you've probably already experienced this)

And I know you already know this stuff but as long as its not a false finish, the trichs are always the best indicator.

Edited because I'm so tired my posts sound bitchy as hell. Please no one take them that way. Its just lack of sleep and my own inability to get my thoughts down in text
Appreciate the tip. I've been growing for over 20 years. And I learn something new every day. I will nvr know everything about this plant. Even if I tried. I didnt take it as bitchy at all. I'm always down to learn new stuff. No matter how minute or trivial it seems. I believe everyone can learn something from someone. And the minute you think you know it all. You know nothing.

Appreciate the words and I agree.

And thanks for not taking my yappiness as preachy or bitchy. Its just one them days where I'm trying really hard to focus on growing instead of...other stuff.

I was ready to chop the last bodega bubblegum but there sure are a lot of white pistils. :?
What do you think?

Didnt you say those were in 10gals? Thats a lot of plant for those containers, probably have to water frequently? I did some in 7 gal outside but didn't get nowhere close to those in size. One on the right has a helluva leg on it!

Yeah, everything outdoors is in 10 gallon cloth pots. I do that to keep em portable, but there are disadvantages.
There for a while I had to water every day, but now every 2 or 3 days is fine.
It really depends on whether the sun comes out or they stay sheltered.
Colder temps have definitely caused them to drink less. It was 36 degrees Tuesday morning! :o
-- edit --
The plant on the right is a Texas Butter.
She's definitely bigger than the bubblegum but not as frosty.
I'm hoping it will eventually bust out some frost, but that pheno is probably a dud.

I had some outside in the ground, it's been several years ago, but I woke up one morning around 6 or 7 and the low had got down to the mid twenties, when I got out there they were froze, but so pretty. They looked like they were just covered in trichs, I guess where the dew had frozen and swelled up. I just knew they were dead , but believe or not they thawed out and were fine.

Ya no worries dude...ya the problem with the pistils not receding in or turning dark is they can trick beginners into thinking they need to go alot longer when they could probably be chopped. You gotta just check trich color. They tend to turn dark and some fall off once you get a good dry/cure...I still just hate it though. I ran into it for the 1st time with pineapple fields from dynasty. Bomb ass shit but not my cup of tea, growing wise.

Does it feel like its firming up? You've done beautiful job with it.
Thanks!
It's been a learning experience.

The nugs are firm but not very big.
I'm keeping a close eye on her and she's getting chopped at the first sign of droop/wilt.
Last watering was a quick & dirty tea made with fresh worm castings, epsom, and a little molasses.

I had a pineapple fields from dynasty too that I kept as a mother. Was great smoke. I made a few crosses with it. I crossed it to strawberry cough I had back in the day. I grew some out and found a male that was pure strawberry smelling and hit the P.F. it had that rotten fruit and pineapple smell. Jus made me think of them. I'll have to dig them out and pop a few and see what throw out.
