Hey, homies and homegirls...imp:

Looking forward to a smoke report.

The mothers of these plants? Well, that's a little complicated. I'll try to explain it briefly.

In the beginning, 13 plants were grown. Clones were taken of each and sexed. These 'test-clones' are the ones in the Rubbermaid box. These are the ones being harvested now. These 'test-clones' were not really even supposed to be flowered, but after they showed sex, we decided to leave them in there to finish.

10 out of the 13 plants were female. 3, obviously were male. The three males were discarded along with any related clones.

Of the remaining 10 mothers:

5 were put into the main flowering room on the right side of the cabinet. I think they were 13, 9, 2, 1, and I cant think of the last one.

2 were vegged (#'s 10 & 5) until they were too big to fit into the veg room, then they were cloned, and the mothers discarded But we have clones of them.

1 plant, number 11, was not looking so well, so we topped her and threw away the mother plant. The top has grown into our only current living mother, #11a a.k.a Kermit. This is our Bonsai Mom.

That leaves 2 more...I have no idea what happened to them. I forget. I'm trying to think...

I think #6 was discarded cuz it was weak...not sure. Well, you can find the answers back in the JOURNAL somewhere I'm sure.


Therefore, we do not have any of the original mothers left. If we did, they would be 126 days old now. That is the first DAY # in all of these updates. The closest we have is #11a (Kermit) that is a top. I'd have to go back and check how old she is, but I'd have to say she's been around for a while. Getting unweildy too!

Wow, that was brief! haha

I just went back and re-read your question, and if you are talking about the ones in the main flowering room, those are on DAY 41 as of this update.

DAY 126/49/41 is how I label every update. VEG/Bloombox/Mainroom

Yea, it says here they 'feel' dense...well, more dense than I would have expected from CFL's based on what I've read.

I was worried about that pistil thingy too and I thought it was a bit early, but the harvest was based on a couple things:

- They were getting rootrot...

- They were getting mold on at least one or two of them...

- They were really just experimental plants and not meant to be fully flowered...

- They told us what we wanted to know about rapid forceflowering after rooting clones and the effectiveness of CFLs in flowering...

- They were taking up precious space...

- We want some friggin bud!

Are you talking about the dry box?

Well, that is just a cardboard box. Cut big square holes in the north and south ends of them so that air can flow through. Use a utility knife/razor blade or something. Be careful. Then poke small holes in the sides at your desired height (the ones you see are not at the exact height we wanted, but...meh) then feed some normal string (medium thickness) through the holes and out the other side holes. Tie a knot or tape down and you have clotheslines for your buds. Put the box in a dark, cool place with good ventilation and leave for anywhere between 4-7 days. Then cure. Ping!

Hope that helps.



Whew...that was one long a$$ post. Now I dont know if I'm going to have time to finish updating the damn harvest day pics. Well, I'll try. Thanks for all your comments and questions.

Now time to go smoke some icky. :jointsmile:
