Thug pug genetics anyone?

[Cocabam]

love it.

do you ever run into any of the individual plants wanting to be watered more or less than any of the other ones?

Or do you like just saturate that plants zone?

I evenly water the whole pot, there's a cover crop that grows thick in between grows so the mulch and top layer all dries at a similar rate. I had runoff twice in the last 4 grows but the plants were not showing any signs of overwatering and most of the soil stays moist for the beneficial's and worms so they never are underwatered. I added about 35-40% aeration to my soil mix and have tons of worms digging around so it all stays pretty aerobic. I water every other day with a schedule very similar to what Mountain Organics and Clackamas coot recommend in their no-till guides and its worked great for me so far.

How many plants can you fit in that at once? I have a 15 gal im gonna set up 4 that soon that hunted clones will go into to flower but im only planning on like max 2 at a time for my size

I like to keep the plant count low and plant them at least 12" apart since 2 plants got lost in the canopy my first grow, but Id say I could probably do up to 12-14 comfortably with a short veg if I wanted too. However some guy named Zilla on reddit throws 30+ seeds into a similar sized pot and it works for him somehow, and mountain organics "kept a 45gal smart pot with multiple strains between 6-11 plants at any given time". The key for multiple in the same pot is short veg, good spacing, and the largest pot you can fit.

Ive just seen a cpl people running up to 12+ weeks and my pack came with no info

Hazes and some sativa's take 12-16 weeks boss

Oh yeah i meant the PBB, saw one dude run to 80+ days in this thread i think

Then that dude doesn't know what he's doing, I mean it could be a one off and he got a very unusual variation of the mendobreath side but 80 days for pbb is very extreme...none of mine went past 65 days.

Some folks run long on the first run to get a look at the progression. If you mess up the grow it could delay harvest also. If any pollen landed that also will slow the finish. There’s a number of reasons that a grow might finish late.

80+ days is pretty long for a pbb. Definitely could happen with certain phenos though....dosi and mendo are not long flowering strains.

I would say technically these are all inappropriate reasons to go long, and I wouldn’t expect that out of those strains either. I never go for quantity of amber trichs either though, to me that is not peak production.

I've seen stress, light leaks, and just overall shitty grow conditions prolong flower times

I feel my 80+ day wed poop started this discussion on flower time. I certainly could have harvested earlier if I took the tops down first and lowers later, and if I harvested all at once instead of one per day to split up the trimming. The KKB didnt need any longer than 70days tbh other than low down, but every poop got better after day 70. The 80 day harvest poops smelled better and were noticeably more potent than the test branches I cut around week 9-10, and the KKB didnt change too much.

Had a short period of stress from heat and light intensity early in flower, no light leaks or herms, and decent VPD throughout. 4 of 5 phenos of kitchen sink by rado took 11-12 weeks and Purple Punch took 9 weeks in the same tent different grow, and had the same flower time outdoors.

My indicators of ripeness are pistils, trichomes, smell, slowed bud production, and top fans fading. I harvest plants whole to increase dry time and wait 4-5 days after tops are mature before chopping to give the lowers a bit more time. I think ill do more pruning down low next time so I dont worry about the ripeness of lowers, especially with the poor light penetration on these Alibaba LEDs. Also sorry for the long comments I get carried away sometimes.

Nah, not bad at all! It was informative, thank you!

Ya I don't even look at trichs with a scope anymore- once in a while I will just to see how fat the heads are, and I like looking at trichs thru a scope it's really beautiful. I can usually tell just by stepping back and looking at plant for overall peak ripeness. It's just has that done look for a few day window. As coca said above I as well will take some of the main tops first and let the lowers stay in the flower room a little longer, but most times I just chop the fucker down all together.

I'm surprised the rado kitchen sink went that long, though I've had gmo phenos and even gmo crosses that never seem to want to finish.

Any other places besides Oregon Elite to get that new collab? One i was looking at sold out

Pretty sure I saw tree stars say they were getting it on Instagram but didn’t give any specifics.

Pic of my meat breath cut....for my thug homies. Small run for my head-

 

[Budderton]

Carl's Shoes getting there.

 

[Foxseeds]

this run #9 hermed couple stress sacs, had like 3 days of bad temp fluctuations.
I cut pollen sacs off #9 garlic and put it on a #10 garlic lower branch. Didn’t seem to pollinate, probably sterile but hope I get some bag seed from the best two phenos. Just experimenting for fun.

 

[superdank330]

Just cracked some Garlic Breath , Juniors Jello , Meaty One , Peanut Butter Breath ,Child's breath and bag seed Meatbreath . Everything cracked and planted cept the Childs Breath of course, I will get those fuckers to crack.

Have you tried to manually crack them? I've done it a bunch of times and it isn't too hard, just gotta be careful.
