OFY your pants look great. ok so maybe some pix of the purple 1.

[Oh F Yeah]

Okay....here we go. The first photo is the purple one. And just like my post on the Leda Unos, it has been outside right at 60 days. Now on this one, I'm pretty sure it needs to be trimmed and re-vegged because growth has all but stopped except for the lower bud clumps that seem to just be filling out. I have convinced myself that I must have mixed my soil "not that great" on this one and re-vegging and putting it directly into the ground is the way to proceed. Thoughts?

The second one is a real beauty. It's about 3 weeks behind the first one and a bit different pheno.....obviously.

what now howd u get em to flower outside before june in the USA
r u just playing with high potheads OFY

[Oh F Yeah]

Blackberry. I live in Texas at about 31 degrees N. Latitude. Our last frost date is around March 17. I planted 1/2 the seeds Feb 22 and vegged for right at 30 days under 18/6. I started the rest of the seeds a couple of weeks later. I figured that even though the daylight would be increasing, the difference would be enough to initiate flowering and they would flower right on through until around June 1 (60 days).....which they obviously have.

The next step in my plan (which is my first time at trying this) was to harvest and re-generate until around Aug 1 (about 2 months) and then move them from the pots into the ground to finish up their lives on or about Oct 1.

These Mandala # 1's and 3 Leda Uno's responded perfectly, but a couple of Sweet Sativa Specials that came as "freebies" did not. They have not shown sex and continue to grow tall as hell. In fact, I moved them directly into the ground when it became obvious they were not responding to the change in light.

I don't think I got enough Perlight mixed in the soil with this purple Mandala because it started out beautifully, but as it received rain (lots of it btw!) the growth has lagged behind all the others on the same regimen. I think the soil has compacted. Look at it......it reminds me of a poodle just back from the groomer! LOL

Now what I am trying to decide is whether to chop it all the way down to the bottom growth OR cut it just above the middle growth and trim the bottom growth. I am leaning towrds the second option.

I have included a couple of pictures of the 2 Leda Uno's that were started at the same time as this Mandala. I'm gonna let them go just a bit longer (maybe a week to 10 days) as I keep a close eye on them.

nice flowers :thumbsup:

well OFY i still think ur tellin lies
texas is still north of the equator day length increases from dec 20 to june 21 in the northern part of the world n the opposite happens south of the equator Cannabis is photoperiodic which means it flowers by day/night length n Cannabiss magic number is 12/12 n day length is still increasing here n in ur great state of tex-ass u said 31 degrees north of the equator so therefore Cannabis would revert back to vegetative growth but thatâ??s probably why ur sativas that u planted rnt showing sex yet
or maybe im wrong witch is rare but ive been wrong before

Will you shut up? You do realize that you posted that three times, don't you? Not only that, but I'm sure a majority of the people here know that already. Myself being one of them. Oh, and nobody asked why it is purple.

Anyway, that looks like a very nice strain. Hope it smokes well, OFY. Keep them pics coming, they're great.
