BANG, BANG, BANG..Looking fab. man...How much longer do you think when u can reap her ?












:peace:
who's at the door? ah, grow space! welcome in
it's really ripening fast, i'm tempted to say it could be done at 8 weeks
but that's probably a week early, probably 9 weeks, so 2 more weeks is the guess
side bud production is pretty good, and some nice bud on the main stalk down lower that doesn't show up so well in cheap camera pics

the grow log tolls nearly 8 weeks, and all is fairly good
good bud, but the roosters drew blood, and some seed has appeared
tough to tell how much, not fully seeded by a long shot, count out the damages later
this is the small advantage of a single plant, no dusting of other plants
not that i'm too thrilled with the hermie trait, but if the quality of effect is good, i'll keep the genetics
which brings me the trichome check, lot of clear, was a little surprised, has a pretty ripe look
but that's why we check, got to be another week at least

8 1/2 weeks of 12/12 - well, i can see the goods and the bads
the bads are this plant hermied hard, it had 2 sets of roosters
the 1st popped on the leaf/bud junction early in flower
the 2nd erupted out of the buds later in flower
i thought the 1st roosters might be sterile, nope
from what i've read, this may be a true hermie, which are rare?
anyways, the seeds look pretty, some have purple striping
speaking of purple, the bud is coloring up with some purple, some consolation
as ripe as she looks, not done, maybe just starting to show some amber trics, 1 more week(probably)

It's a pity she is an hermie dude, will you do anything with the seeds ? I was thinking about sowing some of mine in some random place outdoor for the fun of it.

yeah, outside did cross my mind, will have plenty of seed to spare
i was bound to get a hermie eventually, but it got me reading
some that have tried growing out such seeds find some seeds won't have the hermie trait passed, some will have the trait
so i think of them as low priced feminized seeds

looks like it was genetic, same grow chamber/soil/nutrients
but i'm riding it out, hermie doesn't give many style points, but still somewhat optimistic the quality won't be too bad

Haven't checked in for ages and sad to see the word hermie =/ Shit happens and its just the way it is but I'm sure you know that of course. I hope their isn't too much seed formation! Still the smoke will be superb no doubt
Take care

thanks for dropping in newbgrower, you caught me right at the end of grow
actually was harvested today, total of 66 days of flower
9+ weeks of the 12/12, but changes were happening quick, amber trichs were popping fast
i saw no milky trichs, seemed to go from clear to amber, that's what i saw anyways

being a hermie grow, the haul of bud wasn't all that impressive, less than an oz, more than 1/2 oz
so that was disappointing, but the 9 week ripening time was a small positive
the strain could mature outside where i am, and the seeds are feminized, but the hermie trait is not wanted
it did have an interesting grow smell, wasn't real strong but noticeable
but undisturbed it was kind of a foul odor, not pleasant at all, and didn't smell much like MJ
when rubbed though, the small was good, which i thought a bit strange, we'll see how it cures out
the final test, effect, i cut off a tiny side bud, was smaller than i planned, couldn't have been more than 1/30 of a gram
so into a vaporizer with a tiny uncured side bud, well, this stuff does have kick, seems quite strong
definitely an indica feel, not much of the sativa about it
HGS brainwreck is supposedly a trainwreck x white widow cross, i have grown PPP which is also a WW cross
there was some resemblance, both are very non racy, so i'll cure and post a smoke report eventually

Looks like some unique stuff and I'm sure it will have a killer smoke! Any close-up bud shots?
i will post some best efforts later, the bud does have a nice look, not bad anyways
a non-hermied pheno of this would be better, i saw some on his grow site, luck of the draw

some final pics to wrap it up here
cheap camera, i'd say i got about 30 or so buds like these
bit more on the sativa side, not bad, but the hermie seeding took its toll
the vendor lists this a being a good yielder
if not seeded, i'd believe that based on what i've seen
