For my records and your entertainment, here is my last update before cutting down all the Trainwreck in flowering room #1.
The Trainwreck in room #1 is ready. Trichromes are almost all cloudy, no amber, just some clear left. This is where I want it. I cut some last week and dried it, smoked it today... Even with no curing, it tasted great and Im obliterated with a joint to the face. Many of my pictures didnt come out since I am so stoned. Anyways, about 20% of the plants just started to show little bananas. Weve been starving them the last week so this is not suprising. I check some calyxes to make sure there were no seeds developing...everything is kosher, the crop is just fine. There has been little to no growth the last 2 weeks, however the buds have physically thickened up. Half the plants get cut tonight and half the plants get cut in a few days when they are fully dried out (still a little wet after the last flush. They have been flushed twice, almost all large fan leaves are dead or dying.
The outdoor scene is doing great too. We have a few plants in the backyard that get about 8 hours of light a day. They are doing just fine. They are compromised of bag seed, our unknown chronic seed (we have a mother for this too, its stunning), MK Ultra, and some Trainwreck. The low temps of winter have been giving the buds an awesome purple, even the Trainwreck (which Im especially excited about, never seen purple TW).
Flowering Room #2 is doing spectacular. The temps have just been wonderful and Ive been intentionally bringing them pretty low at night. The Purps are going purple, even some of the Cindy 99 are getting some purple hues. Speaking of the Cindy 99, they have doubled in density in the last week. Im very impressed with this strain and excited to grow it for a couple years. The Skunk #1 are getting so thick...the top nug is already rock solid. They are not even a foot tall, flowered from clone, yet they will probably produce over an ounce each. The most interesting fact on the Skunks is that they seem to like natural instead of LST, as the LST clone just doesnt have the same vigor (could be something else, will have to repeat the test again). The 5 multi-headed Trainwrecks under the other 600 digital are really going nuts. Its an extremely noticeable difference between 15 plants under a 600 digital and 5 plants. The node spacing is a little tighter and the buds are considerably larger early on. Unfortunetly I do not think these branches will be able to support the nugs. Ive always had this problem with Trainwreck.
Veg closets are also doing great. The Purple G clones have taken off and our left over Trainwreck clones from the last wave are finally getting nice new growth. The Jedi and Power Plant have fully rooted and just got planted in 1 gallons today. They are very tall and lanky, I hope I can bring them closer.
Now for the pictures. These 3 first pics are Trainwreck about to be cut. The last 2 are from the other flowering room. They are only about 3 weeks in.
