Just a quick side update: the cloner is working nicely. About half rooted with a pow and the others are still cook'n.

And skip the humidity dome/acclimation stage, straight to the pot, so-to-say.

still do it that way

@motz I had been doing the dome thing, very successfully, since the beginning. I figured this way was worth a try, since it was such a low cost for me, and this new setup is proving to be very convenient.

"J" and "D" @ 6 wks (I took these late last night)

"J" first

and "D"

Had one when they very first came out, it found it's way to the dump.
Everyone has their own way of doing stuff, I'm just very old school

Rubbing on a few of the girls I noticed some were starting to add a little fuel smell in front of the citrus, but it ends in a high-pitched sweet orange.

The Starbud smells like sweaty feet/dirty socks. It is like sticking your head in a year old hamper with maybe a rotten fruit salad on the bottom.

Hit the 8 wk mark for "M" today

The only ones showing good yield are "J" "G" and very likely "F"

"L" and "D" are both thinner sativa / haze looking. Not much for yield. But keep in mind i clear all bushy branches after two or three weeks into flower, so some may put out more. Like "L" had a crazy branch system going, would yield more than "D" i think. But they definitely look like quality smoke.

"M" can be described as medium yielding at best, though it did not want to branch much in the beginning.

I haven't been taking pics, but there is another pheno, "N" that threw a nanner three weeks into flower that I've kept going on the side, but discarded from my diary. It is very sativa leaning and looks great, very low yields, but super dank looking nugs. I may snap a quick pic soon just to show that last pheno i have from this pack. I think "F" is going to produce the biggest main tops due to its compact stature and nug shapes like G and J

Starbud is low yielding but the most frosty.

GPK is very low yielding.

I really do think there can be some good yields to be had from the TP pack, but there are definitely some skimpy yet dank phenos too

Note: my low ph levels could have caused a slight shortage in yield, but not too too much

Might as well add this note too : the haze-looking phenos seem to be the most susceptible to ph issues. M, N, and F don't show any issues in the leaves. L was hit the hardest and has the most yellowing. J was second and D is starting to show yellow. GPK also was VERY sensitive to ph

"L" @ 8 wks

Starbud @ 8 wks

I was bored last night and decided to check on the terps again and was shocked, "D" has developed a very unique smell compared to the rest. While the rest have very high pitched, screaming 7up/tangerine sweet n sourness to them, "D" smells like orange OG! It has that og funk with a fruity background. Totally different than all the other females. Also the resin is stickier. I'm getting more and more excited for it :)

Some over-all pics of the garden.

Reminders: all plants have only 4 tops, tent is 5' x 5', all plants started at 12" when flipped to flower cycle, some plants are raised a bit for canopy-leveling reasons, yellowing is due to a ph issue that is being slowly corrected, each plant's flower cycle may not have all started at the same time.

Starbud - coming around the last bend here on time.

Here is a pic of "N" in the back corner. She looked so good, I had to finish her. Even if she nanner'd. Only the one time too, nothing since. (you'll have to click the pic to enlarge, sorry for the exposure)

Those front two nugs of "F" late to start, now taking off

small note expanding on the terp rub profiles post earlier; "N" also has a unique, but kinda similar to "D" type of smell. Not as deep and heavy of a smell as "D". Also, not as sticky, slightly less viscous.

Have ran the GPK before x 2 very disappointing yields to say the least.

mrgrowguy · Jul 9, 2015

@motz i thought I had really f'd this one up, but yeah i guess that thing normally has tiny buds. My phone isn't loading the pics to save on data (and load time - who decided to load this diary with pictures, dammit!) , but I think my last pic on the far right you can see how it relates in size to the rest. Even "N"is putting out a lot more and it's the skimpiest of the tangerine powers!

I have to saaayyyy... so far, so good. Haven't had one fail yet, but I think there is one that might be the first, soon.

Just set it, and (crowd)------ --!!

They started showing little chin-pubes for roots about 3 days ago, and then boom. Just like that. I do have a special mix that I am trying out, so you know it's not just tap water.

note: The TP's have moderate-large sized calyx (but not as extremely large as some of those sativas which you might be used to seeing). Compared to my Tahoe OG, each individual calyx is about 2-4 times the volume of the T OG. Even and especially the Starbud, who is nice and swollen now. The GPK has very small calyx size.

"N" threw out another set of nanners, so she needed to come down. I took a few pictures before giving the plant to my dad (in case you didn't read the whole thread - when I smoke buds with nanners or any male pollen, I get an allergic reaction). Anyways, I did keep a branch to test flavor in that pheno, of course I will be using the aid of Benadryl. But she is a little early and smells absolutely fantastic. But small yielding.

This pheno (the only one in the pack of 15) looks the most similar [imo] to the picture SinCity uses to advertise this strain (picture used on the Attitude's website at least).

The rest of the pics had the top nug removed when I fist spotted nanners.

I am two days behind on the GPK and one day behind on pics for "F"

GPK @ 8 wks + 2days

Very low yields on this here plant. They smell pretty good, but not impressive like "N" was last night.
