the Image Reaper is still growing out his 'Daddy's Girl' hybrid - he sent me a pic he took this morning - unexpected trait appearing last few days - it's Day 10 since going to 12/12, and the leaves have been 'frosting' up the last 3-4 days - his White Widows, same age, and grown with the DGs, have zero frost appearing :wtf: - we're hoping we got something 'special' here, but, who knows? - we ain't smoked it yet - and, the smoke is all that matters :jointsmile:
holy crap and a half, that's an early frost! Cover your vegetables! Bring in the chickens! Call gramma and remind her to close the windows!!!
i want one that does that in ten days...:)
:jointsmile: well, I fucked up :wtf: - stoned, and misunderstood my messages :wtf: ... the plant pictured was on Day 18 of flowering, so sorry for my mistake - it was switched to 12/12 on May 9th, (not 9 days ago, as I interpereted) :rolleyes: it was vegged for 6 weeks from seed, and placed into 12/12 flower 18 (eighteen) days ago - he said he noticed the frosting on the 3 or 4 sets of branches BELOW the top about 4-5 days ago, and the top frost appeared a couple days ago :wtf:
Even so... that's hella good.
I have to agree Stinky...I wouldn't complain either.
thanks for being understanding - mistakes happen when messages are 'relayed' - Reaper can 'log-in', but can't post (banished ? deported ? :D), so he goes thru me sometimes, and I'm frequently 'maximum-medicated' :jointsmile:
IR can't get in fully?Quote:

More pics frank...and your willie too. :D
kinda cool - my Daddy's Girls are still 'frosting' up their leaves, and the Dutch Passion White Widows right next to them, are just beginning to sparkle a little bit - I haven't had a lot of 'frosting' on prior strains, so I'm hoping this indicates serious potency, and not just appearances (bling) - a white plant with no killer buzz, is not what I'm looking for - I have a bunch of Willie Nelson clones waiting to get into my booth, but I'm really more excited about working some more on this strain of mine - if it turns out 'special' :hippy:, I'm going to send some seeds to the original breeders of the parents, my way of saying 'thanks, dude' :jointsmile:
OK, gonna open up my raincoat, and show ya my Willie ! ... :D
Frank, most people would not be so open about showing off such a hairy willie in public, lol!
That being said, I'd hit that..... :jointsmile:
can we say......brazilian wax?
this is my 'Daddy's Girl' in Day 33 of flower - :smokin:
She's a cutie pie.
if this lil girl doesn't turn out to be 'good to Daddy', I'm gonna be sooooo disappointed :jointsmile: ... here she is, in Day 46 of flowering, will probably harvest her in a few days ... the two Dutch Passion White Widows growing right next to her, hung their heads in shame :D ...
harvested my 'Daddy's Girl' experiment ... Day 49 of flowering, seven weeks on the nose ... I tried to extend her a bit for more yield, but I was already getting amber trichomes, so I took her out of the cabinet (she frosted her leaves faster, and finished faster, than her parents) ... I won't actually cut her down for awhile, I just took them out to sit in a dark room for a couple days ... this will give her time to use up her stored moisture, and there is a new theory floating around, that the last couple days in darkness, spurs resin production ... we'll give it a shot, and see if I can detect a difference ... still flowering my Willie Nelsons, will be awhile yet for them (straight sativas) ... :smokin:
lol I JUST sent you an email about her not five minutes ago.
That top cola is very pretty and she looks like she will be a relatively painless manicure too!
hot dammmmmm. thouse plants U have R so fricken beautiful.
that they could be on the cover of a high times mag.
yup, looks like easy trimming ... the cola isn't all that big, the whole plant is only 32" from soil, to tip ... her sister went 35" ... both have very swollen individual female buds, more so than I'm used to ... they look like they are forming seeds, but actually, it is just the swollen flower (not used to seeing that, the buds look 'lumpy', LOL :D) ...Quote:

I tried to flower her longer for more yield, but she is already showing about 20% amber trichomes at Day 49 of flower ... that's just a bit faster than her Cinderella99/Northern Lights momma ... one difference, the NL99 momma showed preflowers from the git-go, while this 'Daddy's Girl' never did show preflowers ... I just vegged six weeks from seed, and then the 7 weeks of flowering ... 13 weeks from seed, in other words ... single 400-watt sodium used for vegging and flowering ... and temps were way too hot ... I have never had proper ventilation (my bad, it's a holdover from the 'old days', when we believed hot temps stimulated resin production - nowadays, I think that theory has been pretty well discounted), canopy temps ranged from 85-95 whenever lamp was on, except for the rare days when I've had the air conditioning on ... anyway, will post up when cured, and the 'taste test' begins ... :smokin:
OK, I dried the 'Daddy's Girls' for about 4 days, and now have them curing in Mason jars ... not nearly finished curing, but done enough to test ... while growing, she had a very mild lemon-scent, just delicious aroma, very nice ... after this bit of curing, the aroma has changed to a 'sour-grapefruit', maybe even 'pineapple' in there ... dry-toking is just delicious ... it's funny for me to make comments like this, because I have always been more concerned with effect, rather than taste ... she weighed out at 18 grams of dried 'bud only' ... I am happy with that small yield, because she grew very far away from the lamp (about 36") :wtf: ... she was an after-thought, placed between my TALL Willie Nelsons, and circumstances prevented getting closer ... I'm very confident she will yield very well, when I can dedicate the cabinet to her ... now, the important part ... I placed a small piece of bud in my bong, one match, one toke (still a couple tokes left in the bowl, didn't use it up) ... really UP, clear, colorful, no anxiety, just feelin' good, no lethargy, like a good sativa ... surprisingly, it also seems to be soothing my arthritis, which usually requires an indica ... that was about an hour ago, and I am real anxious to finish my Willies, so I can get more 'Daddy's Girl' in my cabinet ... 'nuff said :jointsmile:
that's a nice looking bud you have right there. :thumbsup: reaper do you ever get wilting on your plants with your higher temps? Do you think it reduces your yield at all as well?
Oh yeah.....:thumbsup: I'm startin' to breathe a little heavier now..... :DQuote:

Yes it's certainly not 75 degrees in the places you mentioned where they do alot of growing. I believe I read or (or heard) that if you keep the roots damp they can do pretty well in hotter enviroments. Do you use mylar?
yup, Mylar, but I'm looking at other options, gonna do a reflectivity test with my light meter ... the Mylar is just such a pain in the ass to keep clean ... I like foliar-feeding occasionally, and Mylar just shows every drop of overspray ... I will gladly trade a bit of reflectivity ,to get something less tedious to maintain ... I'm gonna check out a white, 'pebbled' fiberglass sheet, (used for shower stalls, etc.), sold at Home Depot, and see how well it reflects ... :smokin:
Well pop my buttons! :D X-C and I were just discussing that.....please do let us know about the temps. I'm thinking about changing my mylar too so I'll be very interested to see what you guys end up with. My big issue with it these days is the heat.....
