Day 34 - the master bubba buds are getting frosty.

At six weeks of flowering:
At this point, I am in late flowering. Nutes right now are (per gallon): 5ml calmag/ 10ml micro/ 2.5ml Gro/ 10ml Bloom/ 10 ml FloraNectar and 1/2 teaspoon of KoolBloom. Some of these strains run 8 to 10 weeks, so getting closer. The master bubbas look like they'll be ready first.

Day 47 of flowering:
The master bubba calyxes are getting fat. Time to buy a microscope!
And seedling E is looking more like an indica dominant strain. Here is one of her lower node buds:

April 1st:
The trichs on the master bubbas are turning cloudy, so I cut their nutes in half today; will be giving them nothing but ph'd water for the next two weeks.
Here is an OG bud:

Today, April 6th:
Master bubba buds:
And the OG buds:
A couple of Seedling G's colas:
And a couple of lower nugs on Seedling D:
These sativas are behind the kush, but they are starting to show a few cloudy trichs. They're not too far behind. I'm shooting for around 63 days on the kushes, and hopefully no longer than 70-75 days on the unknown strains in the bagseed.

Pics from Day 56 of flowering:
Master bubbas:
A lower nug on an MBK:
These master bubbas have a really sweet, fruity flavor to them. Definitely a couch-lock strain!
The OG buds are starting to fatten up. Still fighting the mite problem, but keeping it under control at 8 weeks into flowering with the help of some Mighty Wash.
Some of the bagseed sativas:
These sativas are not as far along as the kush; they have some trichs going cloudy, but they're mostly clear still. Still giving full-strength nutes on all of these sativas.

Tonight's trich shot on the master bubbas: (Day 58 )

Mostly cloudy, thinking I saw a couple of trichs looking a little bit amber...

Tonight the OG buds look like they are swelling - they are sure sucking up the water right now. And... Seedling D and Seedling E are looking partly cloudy - going to start them on plain ph'd water next watering. :^)

Day 61 pics of the master bubbas:
Does this look a little purple to you?
Even the bottom nugs are looking very, very plump:
Trichs are not amber yet, so I am going to wait to cut them. Tomorrow is 9 weeks into flowering and was the earliest I was going to chop. I will wait up to week 10.
The OGs don't look ready either.

Harvested the master bubba top colas tonight. They are trimmed and hung to dry. pics tomorrow.

Harvested last night at day 65 on the master bubbas. That's counting from switching to 12/12; these girls had pre-flowers in late veg.
So here are some pics of the harvest. I trimmed the fan leaves off and left the sugar leaves for now. I have to wait for any remaining spider mites to crawl up the stems; I don't know why they do this, but they do. I saved any of the top fan leaves which had some trichs on them for hash.
Before harvest:
After harvest:

Tonight's task: Check the trichs on the OGs and see if they are ready to chop, and check the sativa trichs to see if they are ready to start flushing.

Harvested the first of the bagseed sativas - seedling E, otherwise known as "Elena". This was one of the last plants in this grow to flower, and I already had as many plants in the tent that I wanted, but... I didn't have the heart to cut a female. So she stayed in a #1 pot throughout veg AND flowering. She was flipped to 12/12 at around 10" height, and she finished at around 30" in height. Started flowering 10 days into 12/12 cycle, and harvested at day 66 = 56 days of flowering for 'Elena'.
Here she is:
(again, sugar leaves left on until spider mites have crawled up the stem)

Check out the trichs on the smaller master bubba colas which I left on the plant. They have plumped up soooo much.
Another shot of one of the much-lower branches of the master bubbas that were left growing. This is zoomed in to see the calyxes.
Here is a shot of an OG cola. They are looking more ready than they were a few days ago. Harvest time for these is coming up!
A current shot of seedling B - I think she has started a growth spurt at 10 weeks into flower!!!
Comparison shot of seedling G and OG colas. Looking much different in terms of ripeness, no?
And seedling H. She looks very similar in phenotype to the OGs than she does to the other bagseed plants.

Last night, I cut the remainder of the master bubba girls. They are no more! 
So sad, but we took some clones. This strain is killer. I just love the taste of our test samples, and those were not dried and cured; they were just hung to dry for a couple of days and then ground up for the vape.
Speaking of drying and curing, the colas that I had cut on 4/16 were so perfect for jarring last night. They were still slightly flexible to bend, and the outside of the buds felt drier. They had hung for 5 days. By the time I finished trimming and jarring the last of the 14 colas. I noticed that the stems were getting drier. So I'm thinking perfect timing there. I got several quart jars between the good buds and the popcorn. We'll see how much that dries down to. I can't remember the weights right now; have to post them later.
The OG girls just didn't look exactly right for harvesting yet. They still look like they could go a little longer. There are still white pistils all around, and I don't see any amber trichs anywhere yet. Kinda waiting for the first sign of amber to clip them. At day 70, I am wondering if they are ever going to change.
Got my snippers waiting...

Lights out tonight!
Am putting everyone left into the dark for a day and a half. Final harvest time tomorrow!
