Hey guys things have been great with the harvest. I took down Shorty and dried out her buds. Shorty's main cola weighed in at a whopping 45 grams and has a nice aroma although I find it to be not as strong as Big Lady's smoke. It seems that the size of Shorty was in trade for some potency and taste but it still holds up as a great high.
I am definitely happy with my results and the success of my first grow and really think that if I invest in some bank seeds that I can use what I learned so far to create some REALLY dank bud. I'm thinking along the lines of some PPP or Aurura Indica. It will be nice to have some strong indica smoke to contrast the cerebral buzz this bag seed gives off.
I find that personally I prefer variety in my smoking routine and cannot stand even the most nicely grown stuff in too much of repetition. I like to have a choice when smoking which can cater to my current situation or current mood. It's almost down to a science now in which I just need the utensils to make it happen.
The haze cross breed is currently flowering with about a 50-60% chance that it's a female. I'm almost sure that I recognize the same preflower that I noticed on my previous two females about two weeks into flowering. I topped this baby in the mid-vegetation phase and I must say it has responded very well to it. I am trying to keep this plant compact but still well developed because I have noticed that height doesn't necessarily dictate the yeild in the end result. The growth on this plant after topping sky rocketed and developed really well. There is six main tops that are strong and healthy which are accompanied by tons of smaller tops growing from every node. Let's just hope all these tops fill with nice buds!!! Sometimes these plants can be deceiving so I'm not going to raise hopes as of now but I definitely have confidence that it is indeed a female as well. My winning streak may continue!! Stay tuned.
Blah blah blah blah
P.S. If anyone is actually reading this...Do you think there would be a benefit to topping each of the six main stalks to double up even more? Also, is it safe to do so in the beginning stages of flowering?
