step right up to see irydyum's GHSco.-all orgainic-giant tree extraviganza w/ a twist

[irydyum]

Appreciate it man. AMS had a nutsack on it today too. I just can't win with these. I'm going to pull off everything I can as I see it and pray for the best.

Sorry you have your grow invested in GHS as well, hopefully you won't see any of the problems with them I have had.

I would be blaming myself for it too if I hadn't had strains stay stable for me in the past. I know it's not my practice that's causing this, I'm pretty dialed in to what I'm doing. It's just the result of a stupid decision I made when ordering about a year ago, and this is my last run of the femmed beans I have.

Back to basics for me. Going to try my damnedest to get ahold of Jilly Bean and Querkle regular seeds from TGA Subcool. I'll be back with a good mother before I know it.

Till then, I just may have to pay attention when I pack a bowl :jointsmile:

Lord knows I can use em Str8. Got this green thumb and whack ass genes. I had my hands on a fantastic cut of Mango when I was in Chicago and that was my bread and butter (avatar pic). Moved and lost hold of the genes, and now I'm back to hermaphs. What a let down.

Another thing I have noticed is there seems to be no stability in phenotype with any of their strains. Each bean I pop turns into something different than the same pack next to it. I'm all for a little diversity, but theirs needs a little more work and a little less marketing. Just one growers humble opinion.

Here's a couple pics from today, everyone likes eye candy.

Pic one, the remaining 5.
Pic two, macro of the Church, no nutsacks on her....yet
Pic three, 2 AMS, 1 White Widow
Pic four, Trainwreck front, Church back

I can't beleive these plants are in such small pots! They look very healthy though. Are you planning on upsizing or just doing the whole grow as is?

[irydyum]

They aren't that small, they are 5 gallons. The plants are just huge so the pots look tiny. They will finish fine in these though, no worries.

Thanks for stoppin:jointsmile:

Nice grow Irydyum :thumbsup:

Sucks to hear about the herms According to Franco himself at GHS, the TW has a 20-30% chance of herm. Some of their strains are more stable, but the more I read about seeds and genetics, the more I want to just get the standard beans from now on. I guess it's kind of hit-or-miss with the fems, cuz 3 of mine have been fine so far, hope I'm not 'due' on this 4th one I have going :wtf:

Looking forward to seeing more :jointsmile:

Spectacular grow, Irydyum. This is gonna be a doozy!

I love your big girls! :thumbsup:

[stra8outtaWeed]

looks like you're gonna have some good smoke soon!:jointsmile:

[irydyum]

Thanks for the compliments guys, right on time, I needed to hear something good to counteract the invasion happening.

As far as 20 to 30% herms, why the fuck would you release that strain to market? Seems insulting to consumers to just slip that one by. Do you remember where you read about that?

@Cartman, I love growing trees, pushing the envelope of what my lights can do for me is very gratifying.

I don't wanna post the link cuz it's on another message board, but if you google "Trainwreck this is what I got", it's the first link, post #161

well, to be honest with you and everyone else, I am still studying this banana-rama phenomenon on the wreck. At first I related it to temperature at end of flowering, but then I had proof of the contrary. So I did a matrix feeding test, but the results were random as well. Now I am linking it to light stress and temp drops, but I am still studying.
Anyway, from all the feedback we get about the strain, I can safely say that in 20-30 % of cases few bananas will show up. By no means I consider it a problem, just a signature of the plant.
