[jumpincactus]

Thought it was time to check in with my farmer family. Finally sexed all 6 beans that popped and all 6 are confirmed female, like I was telling Ex what are the chances of getting 6 females from 6 beans? Well I guess feminized seeds would produce that but typically not with reg seeds. Must have got lucky on that draw :)

All the ladies have been in veg since 5/25. I am going to veg them another 2-3 weeks or until the 1 has sufficiently filled her screen so I will have room in the scrog for the 12/12 flip stretch. The rest of the gals were just trained with LST free standing in 5 gallon pots. The scrog lady is in a 25 gallon tub.

I have learned 1 lesson with my first go at scrog and that is..... next screen I fab I will have to string the screen tighter than I did this round. Dang gal is stronger than I gave her credit for. She is just having her way with going any where she wants. As you will see in the 1st couple of pics she is starting to fill in the screen nicely. Thats a 4 x 4' screen and she is spreading her wings for sure.

They all just got drenched with their last veg feeding of worm tea and Jacks Classic veg 20/20/20 and after flip will switch to Jacks Blossom Booster and black-strap molasses. Lighting will swap to 1000 w HPS

I have made the decision today to fire up the charcoal filter as even in veg these gals are starting to let it be known they are ready for the party. :) A stem rub is divine!!!! Very much looking forward to watch these gurls bloom. Got a feeling its gonna be epic!!! Specially the scrog lady. She is a real gem.

My deepest appreciation and props +++++ to Ex and the gang and all of the great folks and farmers that help out and give their time and expertise to help ExGen gain status as one of the premier breeders in the PNW.

You guys have earned your place in the sun!!! Nothing but love and good vibes coming to you all from the Cactusman.

Peace

Been a few since I updated. Today is day 75 veg stage. Well thats not true I flipped em on Tuesday 8/5.

The gurl in the screen is filling out real sweet. Hope I didn't let her veg too long cause I have no idea how much stretch she has. Maybe Fudge can chime in and help me out. 1,2,3 x stretch?

All are looking real healthy. multiple tops thru-out all the gals. The scrog momma is going to be a beast. Like I said last post she is having her way with my screen cant hold her down for long. Probably safe to say she is gaining and inch or more per day. So it looks like this is going to be a nice run. Just throwing up some pics to show difference in growth since last round of pics.

Hope you all are having a great night.

Holy crap @jumpincactus!50 -75% stretch.gutting the bottom centers is a must to pull the donkalonkas.these should really perform in a scrog.i haven't found a female in the Mr White's that didn't produce yet.great green thumb bro!

Hey bro I am learning from the best!!! Thanks for the kind words dude. If I can rise to the level I see coming out of your gardens I will know then I have arrived :)

Whats up Farmers. Time to update a bit.

Finally flipped on 8/5. These pics are from this past Sunday. So a tad under 2nd week of flower. All are looking very healthy and no apparent pests or nute issues. Rh has been approx 50%. Had to spring for a humidifier. With central AC it dries things out a bit. Temps I have been lucky with thus far, been maxing at 81 f. For this part of the planet that's pretty respectable.

Very robust growth coming out of veg into bloom. Scrog momma has exploded and is responding very well to the training, I am very impressed with this technique. she is a little spoiled she gets her own 1000 w hps and doesn't have to share. ")

I hope this finds all of you well and in a good place. Grow well. Peace

These ladies are gonna be siiiick! Can't wait for some colors to show themselves. @thunderfudge Did the pink transfer over well in the Mr.White xs? The pictures I've seen were mostly green phenos. Seems like such an awesome cross regardless. Sending dank vibes your way! Waitin' on updates.

take care

Good to see you stop by my brutha. Hope all is well with you and yours. You must be busy. I havent seen you around much.

Peace and thanks for the positive energy.

Time to update. All pics show the gals 3 weeks from estimated chop. May go a bit longer.

I can definitely see the pink skittles pheno presenting as you can see. Almost purple if you ask me. But then again I am color blind ") in 1 eye cant see outta the other.

She is starting to frost up nicely and the aromas for lack of a good way to say it is ,,,,, well very fruity, slight citrus overtone and just as sweet as can be.

Been battling some pest issues but that was my own doing as discussed earlier in my post.

Temps are 79 at peak of lights on and 72 d during lights off.View attachment 441084 View attachment 441084

Wow, well those pictures answered my question about pink coming through! Beautiful specimens you've got there for sure - pink and green phenos. awesome update.hope those bugs don't give you problems! Looks like you should be pretty close to flush and chop though:cool:

ya bout 20 days from chop. I have seen some decline in their vigor. The bugs have really wreaked havoc. It was incredible how quickly they multiplied. I will have to do a better job next run keeping some preventive measures earlier in veg. I got lax and paid the price. Live n learn.

Thanks for the props man. Truth be told I do believe I had the results I got due to you and your recipe for soil and additives. I have seen a noticeable difference in my colors since I switched to your recipe. I wanted to thank you for that and give you props +++ I appreciate it. :cigar:

Peace

Time for an update. Well the whitefly thing is just way out of control. I only have a week till chop and I am going to let it ride. My yield has suffered greatly but thats ok. The quality and taste of the smoke is what I am after.

Have any of you been so far into flower when getting infested you had to do the same thing? I'm sure this is so. My question is does the potency suffer also? They are purdy even with the loss of vigor and swell. Lesson learned on this round for sure......I am almost ashamed to show them but in the spirit of passing on knowledge and lessons learned I have to present the good bad n ugly. Go easy on me guys and gals.

Do I let em ride and count my losses,? or chop em now???? Heres some pics............

@ shroomking @One Flip

Come on fellas help me out. Would you just let them struggle for another week till ripe or chop em now. And what do you think it is doing to the overall potency letting it ride????

Peace

 

[CBDEMON]

Hey man, if the insects are really bad I'd just cut my losses on it. One more week isn't going to give a huge amount of swell typically. In my opinion I'd take the loss of swell for a cleaner end product. I've never had problems this late into flowering myself, so I'm sorry if my advice doesn't help too much- just trying to get some responses out there for ya asap. Good luck and positive vibes man, I know you'll figure it out.

 

[thunderfudge]

Cut your losses

Cut your losses, eradicate, and come back stronger than ever.treat it like a hazmat scene, and you'll be fine.onward and upward bro

 

[m8ty]

They're looking good, I've seen worst White Fly infestation where the leaves are sucked dry...

If their still drinking and making forward progress or motion I would let them ride a few more days.. if they slow down on water intake and look like they are stalling because of health than chop...

 

[jumpincactus]

Thanks fella's I do believe I will pull the trigger and get my space cleaned up and ready for next round.

Fudge, good to see you man. Hope all is well up in your neck of the wood.

Peace

Gurls came down today. Some phenos were pink, some green and 2 were purple.

When I think of what they would have looked like had the pests not got the better of me it breaks my heart.

Those gurls were true fighters but were outnumbered. They put up a hell of a fight.
