Orangeman's 1st log!

Orangeman, you can snip off buds for tasting, from anywhere on the plant ... only the growing tip should be left alone at this stage, unless you are having a height problem ... only take a couple samples, too much snipping can stress some sensitive plants :smokin:

Yar I only need one sample. But I really don't think I'm going to take a sample until a few days before harvest because the buds that are developing a lot of maturing trichomes and are getting big I don't want to cut down because I want them to reach their full potential of potency and weight and the ones that I would cut down to sample doesn't have mature enough trichomes yet lol. It's a trip but I'm not stressing it. I've made it this far, I can wait.

Man...next time I do a log, I'm not naming it a log. Honestly this is more like a journal lol. I'm only doing journal grows for now on because I just feel like posting my thoughts well just because..I thought you all would care to hear em. Anyways I've decided to let my plants grow until they are about 50/50. Half cloudy and half amber. I was going to try and get a decent size and cut them down when they were mostly cloudy and clear because I wanted a more rushy "clear" high and I heard that's how I would achieve that..well I just got high from weed from 4 blunt roaches and I have to say regardless of the high, if I smoke enough I will get fucked up. And this is really a mix in-between the two going on at the moment so I figure it wouldn't be bad to let some go amber. Hopefully that'll allow the buds to get bigger in size in the process of that happening as well.

I think I have a hermie flower. That white ball thing that I was talking about has now turned green and it looks flat and opened by 4 sides. I think it was a hermie and I really hope it didn't pollinate my garden. I accidentally cut off two fan leaves already from the same plant but maybe I need to cut that flower off just to be sure? I don't want to but it doesn't look like a flower or a seed pod so I'm convinced it has went hermie on me. I don't want to cause uneeded stress and I know if it looks how it did it already did what ever it was going to do to my garden but I just want to be safe.

Btw when I slightly opened it, it had little white hairs. But it's like a big green ball, but it had white hairs in it. I had a pin to poke it and mess with it. I know it wouldn't be the smartest thing to do if I thought it was a male part but I just wanted to find out. Could it be just a dead flower that never developed? I never seen that any where in my garden and it's a first.

Here's pics. The last two are not ones I'm concerned about. Just pictures I decided to upload. The first three though are the ones I was talking about above. Also sorry for the three posts in a row but I didn't think I was going to take pictures until I realized people might not realize what I was talking about. I recently lost the card to my camera so now even if I wanted to upload pics I won't be doing that too much because I don't feel like plugging my cam up to a USB port and then uploading it through the Kodak program. I rather just take the pics, take the card out and stick it into my computer and copy them...lost card though, hopefully I'll find it soon :-/...

that just looks to me like the plant slowed growth and the leaves have become a bit retarded,i found a lot like that towards the end of my scrog,think it occured after 2nd growth spurt came to an end

on the upside i found these bits to be super sticky,more so than the rest of the bud,really full of resin and the stone was better than from the regular looking buds

i've been meaning to ask/mention,what spray are you using on your plants?you seem to spray them an awful lot,not having a go but,did you say it was a spray that was suitable for edible crops up until the day of harvest??or is it specifically for cannabis

because if it is just for edible crops,you need to keep in mind that you aint gonna be eating this crop,and nobody gets lung cancer from eating tobacco

guess what i'm saying is be careful,don't want you fucking yourself up smoking some dodgy chemical that's safe to eat

still looking good man

Looks normal. Mine look like that too....I think it is higher heat coupled with slightly high humidity (weather has been crazy here), makes them grow a little strange. You'll see it in my update in the next few days too.
That thing you broke open was probably just a swollen calyx....some of them look like male parts or *gasp* seeds to me too. I suppose we'll get better at recognizing them as time wears on.

It dont look like a bannana to me either, looks more like some sort of alien squid.
Nice to see your grow progressing along. My grow will be done shortly also.

Lol im high upon closer inspection it looks like the "audrey II" from the movie little shop of horrors ... lol

Actually atsar I haven't sprayed my plants since the beginning of the 3rd week of the flowering. Tuesday (tomorrow) makes the 7th week. I got my timing messed up and now the growth weeks are correct. As for the male parts hopefully those parts you are talking about are the skinny leaves because I don't notice anything but calyxes on my flowers. I had been suspected of pollinated flowers though every since I tried moving my male out so maybe I was right. I do believe they are possibly pollinated. But I know my other plant isn't. Ah either way it goes at least I'll have something good to smoke, those trichomes are just developing every day and look freggin awesome lol.
