Grinder test grow

[mendel]

After a delay due to remodeling issues (it always takes longer than youd expect it would), ive just kicked off a test grow of Mota's Grinder (g13/hp x mikado x g13/hp). Seeds were laid down this morning into jiffy pucks. Plants will be flowered in 2 gallon hempy buckets using lucas formula.

More to come as the plants develop........

Germ rate is 10/10 in 72-ish hours, w all the kids poking out of the pucks and standing up straight. I wont waste anyone's time with pics of 1" toothpicks. Thus far im impressed with the early vigor of this cross . A good start out of the gate indeed.

No wet slow seeds here.........

Flipped these plants to 12/12 last nite, 6 girls from 10 beans.

Heres the last 2..........and a group shot, I put em under a 400 hps. I will pull 2 cuts from the bottom of each girl tomorrow. They are a bunch of little squaty bodies, which is excellent for prairie growing. I hope to find a girl or two to run on the (dry) river next yr. Always looking for something special to run here on the eastern plains of Colorado.

6 weeks 12/12

These girls are chugging right along, 6 weeks of flower today. I trimmed them up pretty heavy at 2 wks or so of flower, and they took it well.

It looks like there is 3 phenos expressing in this cross. A shorter dark colored plant with large buds that smells like raspberries (mikado), a mixed pheno, and taller lighter colored plants that id assume is the hp/13. The hp/13 look like theyll go longer than the other 2, with the shorter raspberry smelling plants finishing first.

They are gonna be fat when their done. Not bad for a 400 hps. I bet theyll slay it outside. I have my eye on a couple of them as possible mother plants for next yrs outdoor.

Enough bullshit, heres the pics. They are in order from left to right, plants #1 and 2 in the first pic, next 3-4, lastly 5-6.

 

[mendel]

Not to shabby for 6 weeks, not too bad at all........ thanks for the opportunity to groe these out Mota, im looking forward to the smoketest........:bong-hits:

Lastly, a group show of em crammed into a 3x3 tray under the 400. Looks like the heavy early to me.

 

[Motarebel]

Your killin it Mendel!

 

[mendel]

I wacked these girls at 60 days. All but plant #2, which was the heavy hp/13 dom, were showing a smattering of amber trichs upon examination. Trich production in this cross was very good, giving the trimmed buds a 'white' type appearance.

This is easily one of the stinkiest grasses ive ever trimmed. The only other cultivar that comes close by my memory is a white russian cut I used to hold. High calyx to leave ratio, and a snap to trim.

The scissor scrapings are veryvery potent. I cant wait to sample after a bit of a cure, the smell is divine. The shorter phenos have a distinct berry (not grape) smell, but a hint of sourness. Im not smelling that typical indica smell in these plants.

Here are the (less than good) pics. Plants are shown in order, first pic plant #1 and 2 from left to right, pic 2 #3 and 4, pic 3 #5 and 6.

I will attempt some dried bud shots with my wally world camera when the drying down is complete.

 

[E.T.]

great job mendel. enjoy em...

 

[mendel]

I mistakenly posted posted plants 5 and 6 in the second 2 pics, here is plants 3 and 4.
