Im IN LOVE WITH YOUR BUBBABk and JTR are both said to be an 8 week strain or 56 days. Super silver haze is said to be a 8-10 week strain or 56-70 days. BK and SSH have around 5- 10 percent amber trichs. JTR has around 30 percent amber trichs. At this point i think i will give them one more feed of ripener nutes and start the flush middle of next week until full ripeness. I will then harvest the tops and let the bottoms finish for another week after that.
Group shot - here you can see a new addition to the grow room. a 400 watt hps/mh. I cant seem to get the hps bulb to work. mh will have to do for now. does anyone know if you need special bulbs for these?
group shot
super silver haze in coco fed foxfarm, humic acid, mycorrhizae, and humboldt countys own snow storm. ppm range of 900-1200 in flower. ph 5.8
ssh
bk fed gh line (maxi bloom, kool bloom) also fed mycorrhizae, humic acid, and hco snow storm. ppm range of 900- 1200. ph of 5.8
bk- a couple seeds just before harvest
jtr in coco fed same as bk (GH). this is the seeded bud.
jtr in soil....fed same as ssh (foxfarm)
bk hydro- fed supernatural nutrients, mycorrhizae, humic acid, and snow storm. ppm of around 1200- 900. she is day 43. i think the small resevoir is really limiting plant growth and as a result small nug production. trike production is rediculous tho!

Looking good A! Hey you'll know that the seeds are done when they just fall off the stalk if brushed (when they're dry and loose almost). You can harvest earlier than that but some of the seeds could be immature.
Well be glad you just have gnats instead of the other pests that are WAY worse like spider mites or botrytis, which I know isn't technically a 'pest' I guess since it's not alive, but you know what I mean! Anyway, just go to your local pool supply store and pick up a giant heavy ass bag of diomataecious earth (DE) for like all of $15.00. Then, take and put about a 3/4" deep layer across the top of all your containers that you're growing in. Make sure to cover the entire top area with DE leaving no unexposed areas. Last just get 10 or so hanging flystrips or gnatpads and put them up in the growing area. The DE will slice up the bodies of any gnats trying to bury into the soil to lay eggs, and also slice up the bodies of the hatchlings trying to crawl up through the dirt to get out for the first time. This kills them. DE is the fossilized remains of sea creatures, and it's basically like microscopic razor blades. The adult gnats fly around feeding and looking for mates, and the flystrips will get them. The two together should end their life-cycle. Try to keep the growroom, and your house in general, as clean as you possibly can at all times. This is about the best preventative maintenance that one can do to combat pests and disease.
I'd check to see what the shelf life is on that CS, but it's prob still good. Yeah, technically you'd have SSHxBK, cause the female is always listed first in the cross and then the male. What you could do though (this is where is gets really exciting I think) is grow out some of the beans you make from the SSHxBK CS style, and then pick the best looking female to do it all over again with. Then revert that female to a male with CS, repeat the whole pollination process on your best straight SSH female, and BAM you just backcrossed to the original mother making the strain more homogeneous and true breeding for whatever traits you selected for!
Yeah, at one point women used lead as facial makeup too, and we know what that did. Sometimes a little extra caution is a good thing! I find not consuming random chemicals to be a good preventative health measure. Note I say random. lol
