Group 3 Veg Unit 2: Sugar Blossoms & Blueberry. Plants are 8 weeks 4 days:


Here are some pictures of the plants in Group 3 not in flower. I as able to take 23 clones from them which are now in the flower room to determine sex.

I've already decided on my Blueberry mom & my Sugar Blossom mom if they turn out to be girls. Apologies in advance as I found I was unable to rotate the leaf pictures.





The Sugar Blossom is a beautiful, tightly stacked plant with fan leaves larger than my hand! She's a beautiful indica pheno - she's actually a 50/50 indica-sativa mix. She's also a delightful yellow-green with long, strong, plentiful roots like her Blueberry counterpart. Very uniform phenotype, and there were many perfectly good girls to choose from, again - praised be Joey of Joey Weed!







The Blueberry - after all the runts, I had resigned myself to either not getting a mom - there were only 3 passable plants - only 2 which were 'good' and one that turned out to be outstanding. The pictures absolutely do not do her justice. She has dark purple leaves and lovely red-purple stems. Her leaves are large and she exhibits the same tight inter-nodal spacing as the Sugar Blossom girl. There is some bleaching on her top leaves due to her growing so fast & into the T5's, but I'm not terribly concerned about that. I'm working on finding a way to photograph her & capture what's so special about her. Again - good job Joey!

Now, these plants have not sexed under the 12/12 yet - they could conceivably be males - although they do have those large bubble swellings were the side branches connect to the main stem - I've heard that is an indicator of female sex, but I don't know if this is reliable. Also, the have very prominent side branching & are short and stocky compared to others whose side branches are nearly nonexistent & exhibit a lankier body. I like these 2 so much, I'm cloning them and putting them under the cloner with the 24 hour lights as soon as I get those first mother clones out of the cloner. I'm excited! On an irrelevant personal note, just looking at them makes me happy - I think they are beautiful and I've become quite fond of them already. What do you all think? Are they little ladies or gents?
