400w Querkle Grow

psyte said:

Yesterday was 8wk of 12/12.
First 5 pics are with HPS lighting. The last 4 are with the light covered so I could show more of their natural color.
The colas are finally putting on a bit more weight. Nothing like I would want but at least it's something. The resin glands are starting to show a hint of clouding so I'd say it has another week or two to go. The lower buds, however, are still looking very immature and are still putting out a lot of fresh new pistils... looks like I may be harvesting the tops and then letting the lower stuff go another week or two. I could see this taking a full 12 weeks before everything is harvested. Ridiculous.
Oh and the last pic is showing the purpling that so far is only showing up on one top and a few other random leaves.

Looking nice & frosty Psyte! I think im gonna bloom my 6 moms ive been vegging 3 months now. From what all you guys are getting i dont know if its gonna be worth all this pheno hunting i was gonna do. Im just gonna bloom em and move on with life. Besides i have some Tahoe OG & Original Chem D from PO in LA which should be the off the hook insane...

BOMB looking plants tho once again sir!

I have to say querkle actually is about the same yeild as my other strains, but I think it was because its a bully and takes more than its share of light

Same yield nug wise, or a shitload of popcorn?

IMO either way no good because if it takes up 3q ft for example & yields the same as a plant which eats up 2 sq ft.... Well you catch my drift.

total I mean. More popcorn than others but more total... and like I said it bullies the plants around it

Yea def not good. I'm sure the smoke will be kill, but im a caregiver. I simply cant have a tiny yield, my SAGE I just finished for example I got 8oz Nugs, and 5oz trim&popcorn. Prob a qp of that was popcorn. No good. Im growing under a thousand so my general goal is 1 gram per watt so i should have got like 2.2Ps.

I know that's a lofty goal. I have high standards tho so i need something thats gonna be at least half that much, 1/4 is just rediclous. I bet these 6 seed querkle I have will yield a bit tho since i planted em the 1st of the year, they have been veggin quite a while now lol. This was not the original intention, i was going to mom out the best pheno but damn...

I guess if i get one that's super kill I can take a cut before i chop her and clone/reveg it right?

cloning in flower is tricky as far as I know.

With so many different strains, even just tga strains, Im moving away from querkle as soon as I find replacements, esp. with the less purple pheno so not as much bag appeal. Still dank, but it is what it is

I've cloned 2 weeks into flower no problem. The clone looks like a freaky ass mutant though... sugar on the fan leaves and rounded fan leaves that look like huge sugar leaves. It didn't get very big before I destroyed it cause I just didn't need it, but I hear these things veg a shitload more branches than normal clones. That could be a problem with this strain though.




But any longer than 2 weeks I hear it gets pretty hard to get them to root. I've never revegged but I think if you found a great pheno it would be worth doing. I've seen plants revegged from one tiny little stem left at the bottom after harvest. May be a good idea to root prune and repot to a smaller container though if you only leave a little bit of plant. Reveg also tends to make a mutant looking plant.

Yeah man I would go with those strains over querkle, no question.

That's what I was thinking too, Id like to throw out a big thank you to you Psyte & all the other guys that help make this a great thread!

I think ill start blooming em in a couple weeks, ill post up some pics once i do. They are taller than waist height already so im hoping i dont end up with 9' beasts or anything lol

Thank you for kind words. I really appreciate everyone's contribution to the thread too.

Looking forward to seeing your results in flower. I'm also very interested to see how you like growing the Chem. That's on my list of killer classic strains that I would love to grow someday.

first, x2 for everyones input. Very interesting to compare, thanks back to yall.

second, I also have a list of classic type strains I wanna grow... we'll just have to be patient

I'm getting started on my first classic strain now... the Northern Lights. I remember back when I first started smoking everyone wanted to claim their shit was the Northern Lights.
Little ones are a week old today:





The two new querkle seedlings are about 2.5 weeks old today. Taking their sweet ass time growing... as is the querkle way.










I also am trying something kind of fun to "start over" existing clones that are getting too big (since my current querkle in flower is gonna be hogging up the tent for a few more weeks). I trimmed them down to one of the bottom nodes and tied it up to a piece of the original main stem so it grows straight up. Used the trimmings to start new clones, of course.

lol NL was on my list. That and-

God Bud (my friend had one pheno he kept that was bomb, then he hadmites and its lost forever!)
Dj Short Blueberry
White Rhino
Grand Daddy Purp
Train Wreck
Alaskan Thunderfuck (matanuska valley thunderfuck)
super silver haze
strawberry cough
durban poison
jack herer
white widdow
ak47
Subs other gear
the list goes on


But, what I have already started is:
sssdh (con genetics free)
Nepali (green and black, free SS seeds)
Vortex, Pandoras box, Qrazy Train, 1JTR (subcool obv.)
Pot pimp Blueberry kush (seeds popped but look kinda iffy, sad)

and I have a bunch in 1 gallons that were kinda 12/12 from seed, I gave em a week or so from pop to veg- I will only run them once no clones-

CC- buddah tahoe
Reserva Privada- og #18
Dinafem- cheese
and 4 random fem seeds from a mix pack.

You are an ambitious grower for sure. I can only handle a couple strains at once.

Today is 9 weeks 12/12. One of the top branches closest to the light is showing a hint of amber. The resin glands on the rest of the top branches are still mostly clear with some clouding. The stuff below that is still totally clear and the buds still have some fresh pistils. I'll probably be harvesting the tops next weekend if I'm lucky then letting the rest go for another week or two.





Some pics with hps covered:

Beautiful plants chief. I cut my querkle a week ago @ 9 weeks. Just now hitting the jars. Let me forewarn you, the resulting hash is borderline lethal. lol. toke with caution.

Thank you.
Yep my second batch of Iso hash from the first harvest should be ready tomorrow. Turned out better than the first batch so it should be some great stuff.

Never tried iso. I've just always had my doubts about total evaporation of the alcohol. How does it taste? I'm a dry sieve kinda dude.

Dry sieve?

I like BHO products myself as far as hash goes. In fact ive been taking almost 100% dabs only for weeks now.... We all have our preference i think

Yeah I understand the concern. I don't think I can really compare the taste to regular hash. I've only had non-extract based hash a few times and that was many years ago. Since I've been into medical, it's only been extract based stuff. It's kind of harsh but not really that bad. But the point of this stuff is definitely not taste, it's potency.

I use a large 13"x9" casserole dish to dry it in and only make about 1/2oz (from about 3oz trim) at a time. This forms a really thin layer of hash so the alc evaporates easily. Sometimes when it's done I'll throw it in the oven at about 100-120F for an hour or so just to make sure.

It's hard to get from what I hear, but food grade hexane might be a better solvent if you're concerned about residual stuff. If you have a good place to make bho, that's the way to go though. You use real high quality butane and there's ways to purge it too... Az can definitely help you out with making bho.

Lol, dude you're workin on building up one hell of a tolerance... I bet a blunt wouldn't even get you high at this point!
