Bodhi Tree Of Life, Larry Lotus And Sunshine Daydream

What you think about that SSDD @Limonene ? Is it looking legit or no? No matter what it might be, it is fucking FROSTY, I'll give it that.

could be mate - so hard to say! looks great though. I have run 2 packs with 9 females and none stretched anything like that but it is so hard to say when taking different grow styles into account.

Yeah, I mean, I dunno. I feel like since these are f1's, anything's possible. But, like I said earlier, that "SSDD" (if it is indeed the real SSDD) is growing so differently than I anticipated. Very OG-ish, very lanky etc etc. Whatever. It's frosty as fuck, I'll give it that haha.

@GreasyEasy chime in, dude. What you think? Are they looking acceptable or what? I appreciate the fact that you "like" my photos, but any input would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing,so any info or opinions you might have I'm down for. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing haha, so anything you think I should know, lemme know.

Man, I have to say, I am not fucking happy with these plants. Yes, they're frosty as a motherfucker, yes, I expect the end product to be stellar.but with the the exception of the two Tree of Lifes,every other plantisjust flopping and broken branches everywhere. Just got done watering a minute ago and had to snap off another broke-ass branch. I'm pretty much losing a quarter oz every fucking time I get inthe tent. Gonna give them a decent dose of K Silicate next watering and maybe even for the next three waterings, cuz these branches ain't holding up. At all. Really disappointed. And I say that meaning structurally. Production-wise, they're amazing. Sticky, stinky, blahblahblah. But holy fuck, every other day it's another"cola" snapping off and getting cut off. Floppy,flimsy bullshit. I'm irritated,no doubt.

Okay, gonna post pics in the next few days, but I gotta say..... I dunno. The ToL's and the Larry Lotuses look fucking amazing, but the one SSDD.... Nah, not at all. I got a pm from a fellow farmer a little bit back, telling me that he thought the SSDD beans he got from the same seedbank as I did were fake. I'm starting to think that he's totally right. I can't emphasize enough how disappointed I am in the one SSDD I'm running. Don't get me wrong, it's fucking frosty as shit, but unbelievably lanky, spindly, ridiculously wide internodes, little tiny nugs here and there.... The worst part is the branches are breaking every day. I keep tying and staking everything again and again and it doesn't matter. Branches are just broken everywhere, no matter how much how I tie it up. It's almost (or maybe exactly) like it's in its genetic makeup to break branches haha. For real though, it's fucking ridiculous. Never even mind the little golf ball nugs, I'm literally losing an eight a day from this fucking plant. Broken branches everywhere, every day.

I'm pissed. To the point where I'm thinking I may just chop it now and make more room for the plants that are growing proper. Maybe not. Again, I dunno,but this is some buuulllllshiiiit.....

Anyway, watered with a little bit of K silicate, aloe, fulvic and OG Biowar Roots pack tonight. And when I say a little bit,I mean it. I always go light on any sort of amendments/additives. This'll be the last time I add anything, straight water from here on out. Really though, that SSDD is fucked. No amount of K Silicate could fix it. Can't believe how shitty it's growing. Frosty,yes. Horrible structure, yes. So fucking disappointing. I really just wanna get rid of it and make room for the other plants that're actually growing like they fucking should be.

Happy Fourth, y'all. I'll be working for the next seven days, but I hope y'all have fun tomorrow. And every other day, too haha.

Chopped the SSDD tonight., which I believe is day 56. I would've liked to let it go another week or so, but the branches just kept snapping and snapping. Every time I got in there, I had to spend fifteen minutes tying and tying, trying to get them to stop flopping, but to no avail. There was no saving this plant, so I just said,"Fuck it," chopped and hung it to dry tonight. Still looks good, but I'm a little disappointed with it overall. Very, VERY OG-ish, lanky as fuck, tiny little golfball nugs all over the place. It's hard to get a gauge on the smell because everything in there is starting to reek. The Larry Lotus's are really starting to dominate. Super-typical "Larry Smell": floral, men's aftershave, delicious. So I'm not sure about my opinion of the SSDD I just chopped. But pretty similar to the Larry, with a kind of distinct burnt rubber thing going on, too.

All of the plants are flopping all over the place. I've had to use some chopsticks and floral tape to prop all of the main colas, on all of the plants, in addition to hardcore staking and tying. Pretty disappointing. I gotta say,"Bullshit," to Bodhi's claim that the Snowlotus male brings added structure and "no more insane staking and tying." That's all I've been doing the last few weeks. These plants are flopping everywhere. I'll take pics of all of them later. Started taking pics of the SSDD and the memory card in my camera got filled up. Since I'm an idiot, I have no idea how to clear that shit, but I did get a few pics of the SSDD, which will be posted below.

One other thing: like @Limonene said (or I think it was Limo, although it might've been @Ecompost, or somebody haha), the Tree of Lifes are fucking hardcore nitrogen hogs. They're already starting to fade big-time, even though I think they have about three weeks to go. Which is fine. Now I know for next time. But yeah, man, can't believe how much they're fading. I got some gorgeous pics with my phone, maybe I'll post those up soon.

Anyway, the SSDD.... Notice how all of the branches are just snapped and flopping everywhere. Not cool.

 

[Minitiger]

I dont understand why my pics always double-post. Anyway... Yeah, there it is. Probably gonna chop the Larry Lotuses in about a week. The ToL's looks like they have at least two weeks left, if not more. Which is fine. I expected and hoped that they'd take a little while. I'll post pics of those soon. One looks really, really good, filling out nicely, smells amazing. The other is kind of,"Meh...." I dig them both, but one is clearly outperforming the other.

Sooooo..... Shit, man, there was something else I wanted to mention, but I can't remember what it is right now haha. Anyway, yeah, enjoy.

 

[Ecompost]

yeah that ToL man, she loves her N. :-)

 

[Minitiger]

yeah that ToL man, she loves her N. :)

Yeah, it's really unbelievable. But like I said, now I know for next time. Seriously, though, the pics I took of the ToL's with my iPhone are ridiculously gorgeous, to the point where I'm considering submitting them for "Plant of the Month" haha. The few people I've shown them to have all been like,"Hoooollllllyyyyy shit, that's beautiful."

Maybe I'll just post the iPhone pics on this thread and then take pics with my good camera for the plant of the month submission, but yeah, they look crazy. Really nice fade. The thing is, the few people I've shown the iPhone pics to don't know shit about growing. When I look at them, all I see is,"They needed more nitrogen when I flipped." All they see is these really, really gorgeous red leaves and shit haha. I won't lie, they're beautiful pics, but I should've given them a decent dose of some source of nitrogen early on in flower. They're still spitting white pistils, but the fan leaves are telling me,"We could've used a little more N." Ain't gonna do it this late into flower, obviously, but yeah, I really wish I would've given them a little N when I flipped. My yields for the ToL's will probably suffer as a result, but it's too late now.

Anyway, whatever..... Haha!

Random plant shots. Not sure exactly which these are, although I know that the red-leaved ones are one of the Tree of Lifes.

It's late as shit and I wanna go to bed. I'll get into more detail re: growth characteristics, smells, stickiness and overall bomb-ass weed-type shit later. But before I forget, just got done watering and the ToL's are exciting the fuck out me. Super-spicy, mango-y, sour and just overall unbelievable smell. The Larry's smell like Larrys, which is a good thing in my book. But that last pic in the above post should give y'all a pretty good idea of just how badly they're flopping. Fucking ridiculous.

Also gotta say that I think they're all finishing up faster than I thought they were gonna two weeks ago. I think they're pretty much done. The ToL's might have about ten days or so left, but I think the Larrys are pretty much ready to be chopped. Gonna bust out the loupe next time I water, but for real, last week I was like,"Yeahhhh, I think these got a while left to go...." and then they just swelled the fuck up. Rock-hard nugs, too, can't emphasize that enough. I'm impressed.

Anyway, yeah, I gotta go to bed. I'm fucking tiiiiiired....

Best quote from that whole movie haha! As if you even had to preface it with "Colonel Kurtz" hahaha!!!! I know who said that. Seriously, that is like the best shit ever. Probably one of the best few lines ever written in any movie, book, poem or whatever, EVER.

So what you think? I'm digging the fuck outta the fade on that one Tree of Life.

 

[Minitiger]

Dude, seriously @Limonene ,that quote just made my night/morning/whatever the fuck time and day it is right now. Fucking hilarious. Crashing out right now fo sho, got a busy weekend ahead of me despite the fact that all I really wanna do is sleep for the next three days, but lemme know what you think about the pics. I have questions that don't necessarily need answering, but y'all know I always appreciate any input. And thanks for cracking me up haha!

 

[Ecompost]

good job on the bodhis buddy, hope you slept well too
