another week flies by and here we are....at the day the top44 were to be finished in optimal conditions.....no such circumstance....but I am more than pleased. I will make three posts - 1. overall and clones, 2. bigbud and 3. top44.
First, the overall, and the clones. the overall no surprise....things continue to progress forward very well. the second overall is the bigbud top cola....yea I know its on its side cuz I had to tie and supercrop. the result is the socalled side buds may challenge the main top bud in size?
the clones are doing well as well. I have topped all four of them now. I guess as opposed to a comparison, my goal is to maximize this first grow, so I thought I would do my best with all four plants. I think they continue to do reasonably well, but in closer examination of the pics, are they exhibiting some continued signs of stress? I will have to continue to watch closely.

here come the BigBud down the runway......great colour, full appearance, robust growth, and stinky....everything you like in your biatches! the frosting is starting.....to spread and get more dense. I remain hopeful that they will continue to improve in this direction.

and the top44 sweating, seething, screaming biatch of all'biatches...ok ok ok well for me anyhoo.......again as with the bigbud, the progress is good and phattness and crystallization is improving. I again hope that this plant will continue to advance in this reegard. this plant has sooo many buds it is amazing...I am so excited about the four clones, that have the potential to be like this?
I really love the third pic with its two opposing calyxes and orange hairs....almost symmetrical.....

Upon close photo inspection of your big bud tahoe i am thinking that you may well have a very good phenotype of bigbud.
The trics look to dense and theres to much of a white coating of trics to be bog standard 5% thc bigbud.
Your plant looks like it has genetically strayed nearer to being a white strain than bigbud.
Can you rub a lower small bud leaf and tell me what it smells like please

rub the bud.....hmmmm....reminds me of someone of the other persuasion asking me to rub their bean....ahahahahaha....I will do so....but at the same time express that the satisfaction I get from rubbing the bean....is more than from rubbing the bud.....hahahaha.....I like your comments, that makes me even more proud of my efforts....that in fact I might have some decent "quality" of a lessor quality strain...in some peoples eye....I still have more beans where these came frrom to.....

There are no lesser strains really.
Just differnt types to smoke for different times of day and situations.
Who wants to smoke my pppxblueberry in a social situation,not many people i am sure that is unless they like to be tripping and spinning in a crowd situation.
Bigbud is a great social smoke and i have used it in my crosses to gain structure strength and hardiness.

ok....took a rub of a couple of the smaler lower down buds.....and first off.....I have NO reference background...so this will rely on my rudimentary smell snese and dscriptors that may be unexpected? atypical? so what does it smell like....well I will just rattle off what immediately comes to mind without analysis.....oily, (diesel?), terpene, piney...though maybe more sprucey....hint of sweetness, floral, intense, deep, menthyl-almost?, clean/crisp/clear and not muted, .......maybe others will come to mind.....

they came from WeedFarmer (• Marijuana Seeds, Cheap Cannabis Seeds (weed seeds)) and this is their promotional description...that is all I have to go on....BIG BUD SEEDS .... Big Bud is one of the oldest commercial marihuana strains. Our Big Bud is bred for maximum yield without too much compromise on quality. The branches may become so heavy with flowers that they may need to be tied up. Big Bud has some Skunk characteristics and a fairly long lasting high.
Big Bud is a former winner of the Cannabis Cup!

wow....you're kidding right....thanks so much.....I feel very good with the added bonus that others think this is an excellent effort/example/phenotype. I think if I really leave these to their full maturity....I should be most satisfied with the end result....as I have said before....now I want to make sure I finish them, and dry and cure properly...thanks again...Nat....

I also note that they know that their strain shows a lot of variations in strength and they quote it in the other section as having 8-15% thc.
So this is not gnarly old basic 5% bigbud that you have but the result from inbreeding a stable strain for years and years.
Should be fairly strong i reckon and from your pics i would take a guess at the nearer to 15% thc on your plants

hey man thanks....yea it does seem like it will mesh well.....and a good thing in that I orginally had expectations of a faster period of development for the clones, and it is good that they did not develop as I had thought theyu would....cuz then I woulda had a problem....but it really odes seem that it will possibly finish/begin as it looks now.....thanks fror dropping in.....
BTW - how would you describe the "smell" of WW.....I have heard/read a lot about this strain.....many highly positive......what does it smell like?
