Nice Tw man. I have one from greenhouse growing right now 5.5 weeks into flower. Not tall like yours but trained short and bushy. You have wayy more trichomes though. :bigjoint: Yours might finish ahead of mine at this rate! bongsmilie

I took these pics 2 days ago on day 21 and forgot to post them up........These suckers are starting to flop around. I put #3 in a cage after these pics.


Plant #3...10 gallon pot.






















And a couple shots of the first plant I put into flower. 49 days....

Plant 2 at start of week 7....you can see she had some nitrogen deficiency early on. I've been trying to correct it and it seems to have slowed. Plant 3 is also starting to show signs. It also has a bit of leaf tip burn...
















Plant 3 at start of week 5....

So whats the deal with all the Nute burn? Just curious. :bigjoint: Aside from the typical answer ie: "My plants always have a little nute burn on the leaves but I've never noticed any problems." Is there some sort of advantage to damaging the leaf tips like that? :peace:

No advantage that i know of. Some people like to do it so they know the level of nutes they can go to before burning. For me it was just an accident. I'm always trying to find the proper level of nutes to give and i just went a little too high.

They look really good mate . Thanks for sharing. How are the smells maturing now?

I got some tw seed off a friend here in Aus and 3 out of 4 phenos grew allot more sativa than yours. Smells ended up fairly lemony and one was just sublime lemon butterscotch. Definitely a memorable strain.

Cheers

Thanks everyone!

Smells are very nice and strong. Its a very pine smell to my nose. Different then the pine smell of Chemdawg but still very much pine with citrus undertones.

The plant structure doesn't look like a 100% sativa but the leaves just scream Sativa to me.......

Plant 2+3 look very similar!
They are certainly sisters + almost look like clones from a mother-plant.

Some grower puss nutes to the point of light burn and then cut back slightly. You don't know what she take some a little some a lot.

What do you think to that method, scarelet???
Nute burn doesn't just aesthetically affect the leaf tips.
It shocks the roots and, at best, stunts the plants growth.
Worse case scenario's involve frying the poor bastards from the inside out.

yeah step it up slowly im not gonna push it past 1300 ppm till i know my strain and i have a few clones to mess with. i gave them 900 ppm today they seem to like it so far.

Ok, that makes sense. You mentioned that your TW seems more Indica in it's growth characteristics as well - with the leaves being undeniably sativa-esque. I've noticed this myself, though mine is from a separate breeder then your own. Have you noticed the speed of maturity relative to other plants you've grown? For example, I have 6 plants atm, 3 are reputable seeds and 3 are random bags seed. The TW is three weeks younger but pulled ahead of all the others since the start of flower. Interesting to say the least considering they have received identical feeding and nute regimens. :peace:

I wouldnt really say mine look more Indica, at least not to me anyway. Actually they look like a classic sativa structure with the spindly branches that flop around unless tied up.
I do agree about the speed of growth though. These seemed very fast in Veg.

Wowza!

I took the small one down about 4 days ago and its just dry enough to get a good smoke. After about 2 hits my nose started running, beads of perspiration started on my forehead, and i was messed up fast. I feel jittery and a bit paranoid...this shit is strong!


And....the taste is just as i remember from my past experiences with TW and then some. Man does that bring back some memories...
