i'll be checkin in...
gmorning
Mr.GoodMorning02, I appreciate you stopping by again! And, good morning to you! I'm about to update MIQ finally, so you'll see she's doing pretty well. My guess is she has about 2 weeks left before harvest. I'll also provide a bit of an update on the beans - PPP is doing great; BBL is in a Jiffy pellet still, and CRH is in the same condition.
I hope all is well with you, bro! Be good out there!

I don't know if I will start a log on the bagbeans and the pedigreed beans. I may update this log from time to time even after MIQ. But, it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with this log. We'll see where things take these plants - they will be grown outside though.
Thanks for stopping by to check in on MIQ and the other lil' girls. I'm lookin' forward to catchin' up on your log too!

Good things is I dont need to worry about dogs, insects and hard weather downside is that it would be lovelly to have a project like yours that would give me something so take care of under the (sometimes) clear sky. :)
Good luck with your babies m8.

Puffzter, it's nice to see you in my log, bro! Growing outside seems to be a whole lot easier than inside. I'm still trying to figure out how/when/if I will set up an indoor grow. I'll probably be plaguing all of you indoor guys with tons of questions.
Good luck on your grow - I've got a lot of catching up to do on a bunch of logs, and yours is on the list. Take care, amigo!

Alright, I've been pretty derelict in updating this log - my apologies. Life must be lived.
MIQ is looking really great these days. She is absolutely covered in glistening trichomes. I even notice a few small winged insects had been trapped on the resinous trichomes - much like fly paper!
I obtained a 30x loupe, and in looking at MIQ this morning most of her trichs have become quite cloudy. A lot of her pistils are drying into some nice reddish brown hairs. Strangely enough though, many of her calyxes still have not extended their pistils, especially on the underside of her main bud (I leaned her bucket over to take some good underbelly shots of her main bud - I was really impressed with those shots).
As for her smell - after thinking about it for awhile, I've settled upon a sour lemony smell. So thick if you disturb her trichs that you can almost taste it.
I plan on continuing to look at MIQ's trichs to determine when to harvest her, and am thinking she only has a couple of weeks left. I'm really torn on how much amber to allow, as I really want an up high, but that couchlock, eating frenzy buzz is pretty nice too. I may have to flip a coin to decide.
Well, enough of my rambling, and on with the pictures. In a separate post below, I will update a bit on the bagbeans and the pedigreed beans.
I hope all is well with everyone here - Be good out there!

Here are the rest of the MIQ pictures. I tried to get as much detail of her as possible.
I hope you enjoy them.
Aloha

I thought I would give a brief update on the bagbeans and the PPP, which is the only pedigreed bean to really be thriving. The Bubblelicious and Colombian Red Haze sprouted some pretty good taproots, and since I was going out of town for a few days I decided to put them in Jiffy pellets a bit early; they have been in the pellets 1 day shorter than the PPP, and have yet to stick their heads above the peat; but, their roots seem to be thriving, so I'm letting them take their time.
The bagbeans are on their 4th node already, and appear to be really strong. The only difference I see between the PPP and the bagbeans at this point (yeah, the PPP has already caught up with them at 3 nodes - it seems to be an incredibly strong strain!), is the PPP's nodes seem to be grouped more tightly, and the bagbeans seem to stretch more between nodes.
I've only included a few of pictures. The first is a nice group shot with the PPP on the far right. The 2d shot is a representative shot of the bagbeans development (a close up of 1 of them); and, the 3d picture is a close up of the PPP.
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Be good to each other!

Looking good, jakezking...:thumbsup:
I wish I could grow outside (sigh)..:(...too many choppers around here...:s4::apachecopter:
...anyways...it looks like you got the outside growing down pat...have you got that inside growing plan ready yet?...it's a lot of fun too...:smokin:
ps...if the loupe don't suit you...try this from Radio Shack...$12...:cool:...(snip a very small piece of bud leaf and put it on a white paper plate, 60x100)...enjoy.

Jake,
You new grow is looking fine and your MQ is making my mouth water. I had read a while back that self flowering strains do not get amber pistils but that is obviously wrong since your lovely lady has them. Good to know for future reference since I may try to a grow with them this winter.
It doesn't surprise me that your PPP is the same size as your bagseeds while your other two are still a lot smaller since the PPP is suppose to be a hearty big grower.
Will you be starting a new grow log with the babies?

DP, man, it's nice of you to stop by my log. It's sort of winding down, due to work really putting a crimp in my style, but sometimes you have to go with the flow in life. I don't know about me having the outdoor growing down - I had some bad luck with beans and my PPP here lately, which I will detail in another post below; but, you can't keep a good man down, so I'm picking myself up, dusting myself off, and continuing onward - whether it's the right or wrong path, I couldn't tell you.
Thanks for the headsup on that mini microscope. It looks like it would be a whole lot easier than the loupe. The loupe works like a champ, but is sometimes difficult for me to manipulate into the exactly right position.
Thanks again for stopping by, my friend. I hope to see you around these parts again soon! Be good out there!

luna, it's good to see you again. I was able to steal away a bit from work to make a post today. MIQ was looking so good, I could not resist harvesting her. Her pistils were beginning to dry up mighty nicely, and most of her trichs were cloudy with a few turning amber. I have some good couchlock grass, and wanted some pick me up, so I thought I would see if I could get an up high out of MIQ at an earlier harvest.
Bad news with the PPP, but the bagbeans are doing great! I think I am going to drop a few more pedigreed beans today, as I have to see what they can really do.
Thanks for popping in again, luna. Take good care out there!

Hey jake, nice to meet you and I must say, you have got some hardy little babes there! Looks like all nug no stem :wtf: aha wow they sure are lookin good and I hope you have some better luck with the beans and the PPP, outdoor seems to be waterin itself this year in canada :rasta:

Ok, so I'm a bit of an impatient person, but there is also a rhyme to my reason. The jar of grass I presently have to smoke is real couchlock, quality stuff - it is a mixture of 3 different strains a buddy provided me. As variety is the spice of life, I was shooting for some really pick me up, cerebral smoke, so I decided to harvest MIQ on Tuesday, which was Day 82 of her life and Day 58 of flower.
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I sort of felt bad pulling her out of her bucket after the past nearly 3 months of taking care of her. And, she seemed so much larger in the bucket - strange. Her root system looked to be in really good shape.
For harvest, I pulled her out of her bucket, thoroughly rinsed her roots with tap water, to clean all of the soil off them, then I hung her upside down for 1 day. Her roots were completely dry after a full day of hanging out, and her fan leaves had shriveled. I've read it takes a good long while for a plant to completely dry when roots are left intact. But, I wanted to see if leaving the roots intact would provide 1 last gasp for her to really try to pop her flowering in hopes of reproducing. I won't have anything to compare it to, but hope it helped some.
I will post the pics of MIQ's last day of life, and a pic of her hanging to dry with root ball intact. The drying/curing process will continue in a subsequent post below.

Haro bmx 420, it's nice to meet you too, bro! I'm glad you stopped by and hope you like reading and viewing my log. MIQ ended up being a mighty fine strain - Mighty Freeze, which I started out not knowing a dang thing about, nor anything about growing. This board and it's incredible members led me to understand a thing here and there, so MIQ faired well in life, hopefully leading me to fair well in her ripening/curing.
My bagbeans are doing great, as you will see below in a post yet to be added at this time. The PPP was doing great, but she suffered a life-ending accident. But, never fear, I have 27 more beans!
I hope to see you around more, Haro! Be good out there, and thanks again for stopping by!
