Haha, you know that you've done well when you are having problems with bud weight. They are looking better and better every day. Job well done, man. :thumbsup:

:jointsmile:buds look tasty! excellent grow guys.:thumbsup:

We thank y'all for the kind words.

We fed the ladies a day early, earlier this week. Had to run out of town on family business for a couple days. As of this morning they are back on schedule.

Finally got a chance to use the microscope on this grow. On a few buds, the hairs were starting to change color and shrivel up a bit. A once over with the scope showed that they are not ready. Trichs are still mostly clear with no amber ones in sight.

One AK and the bagseed don't look like they'll finish at the same time as the others. Looks like they'll need several weeks longer. A couple others may take an extra week or so.

looking good tokers! glad everything is coming together for y'all!

Well, I guess we now know why bud weight was becoming a problem. The ladies are pregnant.:(:(:(

We thought we were being quite diligent in our watch for nanners. We missed 'em....... big time. Seems the bagseed hermed on us and pollinated the entire crop.

Bad news: No sensemilla:(:(:(

The Good news: Plenty of seeds for future grows. We'll keep any seeds even though we know the plants may be prone to go hermie. We figure it might make for decent "every day smoke".

As punishment, the bagseed plant has already been pulled from the tent, pruned and currently drying.

I guess we'll just proceed as planned, as far as timing. We have about a week to go until we start cutting nutes and begin the flush.

We're chalking this one up to overcrowding. Too many plants to be able to keep proper tabs on them.

We wanted to get some seeds but not this way.

Now, for a little levity........ We call the bagseed strain Old Man. So, the Old Man x AK-47 will become AARP ( Armed And Really Pissed ) The Old Man x Blue Apollo will be ......... to be determined. Suggestions will be entertained.:D

Hey, gotta find a bright side somewhere.;)

Oh noooo! :( That sucks so bad, McToker.

Yup, at least we'll have plenty of smoke while we build the new farm.

After discussing it, the Mrs. and I figure any resulting seeds ought to be called Last Resort. We'll save them but with seeds from good genetics on hand it's unlikely we'll use them.

The new grow room begins. Today we're laying out the basic dimensions and we predict that walls (framed) will be up within a week.

sorry to hear bout your loss

Hey, it's all good. It's not like they won't be smokable. The Mrs. and I will just chalk it up to a lesson learned.
