wow looking good.
theres so much more information I need to get, cloning, trimming, nutes and all that. So much info. what was your estimated flower time period and where are you now. I do realize this was more of a test but Im curious to know. I cant believe all the tricomes you have. Wow
Well, it was bagseed so I don't know what traits it would have. I put it in 12/12 directly from cutting on May 27th and I'm just going to watch for amber trichomes to decide when to harvest. I named her Audrey III by the way.
I have a couple quick questions: when all your sugar leaves are completely coated in big fat trichs is it still expected to cut them to the level of the calyxes when trimming? I'm definitely going to cut out the fan leaves, but I have a hard time thinking of those sugar leaves as trim Every single one and a couple of the fan leaves has a coating of trichs just like in the picture above.
Another question, is this clone going hermie? I am an idiot at telling apart male flowers from newly developing branches for some reason.
There's a picture of a mite I took while practicing macro shots. These mites seem to spend most of their time crawling around on the dirt, the outsides of the pots, and on the leaves but they don't seem to have any particular interest in the leaves, so I'm guessing these guys either eat dead stuff or they are predatory. They do seem to have an inverse relationship with fungus gnats, I mean I see less gnats when I see more mites. Are these mites the good guys? I don't necessarily feel a need to use pest control chems just because I see some crawlies, especially if I don't know what they are.
Last theres an exterior and interior shot of my veg area. Since lightproofing is not an issue in veg it's not nearly as elaborate as a flowering cabinet would be.
hmm I have no experience with bugs, I was at the homedepot yesturday and found some organic natural bug removal stuff. I dont have bugs so I havent invested yet. They are looking nice btw.
trimming is up to your preference. if its really frosty no need to trim off the leaves but a well manicured bud does look nice
sup JD? good growin going on in here. definitely cool watching you sex out the plants. soon as I get some more room I'm going to be doing that with my urkle seeds.
that bug really isn't a problem (if i'm correct) its a white blind springtail. they eat dead organic matter in the medium and should actually die (mine did) after adding nutes.
they come in different shapes, sizes, and colors but check out these pics and decide for yourself

peace and keep up the good work :rasta:
I don't think it's a springtail I believe it is a predatory mite. I guess I'm gonna put that clone back into the flowering cab. I've torn it up a bit though trying to remove that little thing and see what was inside. I learned nothing useful. :)
those pics arent the best because those are true blind springtails, but I'm pretty sure what you have is a sort of springtail. if their isn't any damage to the leaves that is.
type springtail into google images and you'll see the wide variety i'm talkin about. from brown to white to short to long. and they usually just crawl around the top of the soil/pots like you described
anyways i'd sure hope it was a springtail! I'd keep a real close eye on the leaves and personally, spray them down right away with neem oil or something similar just in case.
GL :thumbsup:
I can actually see the mite I have looked at it with a magnifier and it is definitely not a springtail. And they have no interest in the plant except as a place to walk around. My bigger concern is whether I have a hermie actually.
IMHO, the 2 flowering pics in your last post both show a male flower. Hard to tell by the color in the pic, but if they look whitish or yellow, then it is for sure.
People have told me that you can pull off the nanners if you can see em, but every time I have seen a hermie, I have seen seeds. I normally kill them asap as a precaution.
Food for thought for you though. How do you think you got the bagseed in the first place? Odds are, most of your bagseed beans are the result of hermaphing rather than rogue males. Much more likely that a hermaph snuck under the radar than a male. Suffice it to say, that means most bagseed beans are going to lean toward being hermie. God bless seed banks and breeders.
Yes, of course. Although it may not be a genetic problem necessarily. It was really really excellent weed obviously grown by someone who knew what they were doing. I would have to think that most likely the light cycle got screwed up because someone who is that skilled would be checking for herms and using plants with low tendency to herm. It would have sold for $20/gram instead of $60/half if it weren't for seeds, so my guess is that a screw-up happened in the grow. The plant that I have named Audrey III has just an absolutely gorgeous perfect bud, tight and compact, sticky gooey not too much odor, but nice aroma so she's a keeper for sure. I'll update when I chop her. In the meantime I have put the possible herm back into my flowering cab and I have my fingers crossed that no pollen sacs open up and seed all my clones, although it wouldn't be a big loss, just close to a gram. I wonder how much damag I did to it trying to pick out those little round things.. hehe if it wasn't herm before I may have "fixed" it :)
