Super healthy plants and top quality buds. I love it in here!
I wish, definitelt having some issues this round. But I will slink to the end, there will probably still be plenty of good herb at the end.Super healthy plants and top quality buds. I love it in here!
A day late but here is the most current update.
Things are going ok, having the heat on in my house has made a huge difference in the plants. They are taking up water at a much better rate, though now it is time to get my humidifier running. The Black Lime (Day 31) in flower is coming along well, starting to get nice and frosty and just starting to bulk up. The smell is starting to develop nicely as well. I am seeing some deficiencies in my Crown Royale (Day 17) at the moment and trying to pull her through that as she is starting to really throw pistils now. I am not really sure exactly why my plants seem to be struggling, but I think its because the cooler temps through the younger parts of their lives didn't allow me to get enough nutrients into the soil for them to take up through the flowering process. It may also be a bit root bound, I forgot how long the Crown Royale and Pineapple Chunk (Day 8) have been in their pots.
My plants in veg are doing quite well, all the Black Lime clones are really starting to take off and show how fast a grower she really is. The Praying Mantis plants are also coming along nicely and the differences of the two phenotypes are becoming evident; one (PM 3#) is very branchy and is going to grow into a nice bush while the other (PM #1) is a very upright narrow plant.
Anyway onto the pics.

Crown Royale (Day 17), I just can't get over this great conifer tree shape she is naturally growing into.

Pineapple Chunk (Day 8), she is turning into a bushy girl. We can see she is holding her color a lot better, but I have been a bit more on top of her feeding schedule.

First signs of flowering for the PC.

The bushy Praying Mantis #3

The much more upright Praying Mantis #1. This would make a good sea of green plant, you could pack a lot into a small space and allow them to focus on the top cola.

Black Lime clones, the one on the left is in coco and will eventually be flowered out. The one on the right is in soil and will become my mother plant. You can see easily how much quicker the coco plant is growing than the soil plant, but it has left wider nodal spacing in the coco plant, so pros and cons to the increased growth rate of coco.

I always have some trouble at the change of seasons getting my room temps straight.
Nice work all round bud. Plants and cuttings look great. Super color. Love seeing all the stages on display.
Great thread following along; have half a pack of Gunslinger and am starting several seeds soon, made some crosses with the Gunslinger too, have one running now and have a few more seeds from the crosses to start soon

Thanks. I am really happy with the plants in veg at the moment. As I said everything seems to be back on track once I got my temps sorted out. I wish I coul dactually blame the weather but it was me being stubborn and not wanting to turn on the heat in my home.
That is a beautiful plant there. How did you find the Gunslinger, I love how it grows, how hardy it is, how easy it is to clone and the yields but I found the flavor and aroma lacking. Did you have the same experience. I am going to keep her around for a while as I like her for potential breeding stock and to make hash (she makes great hash). Was your cross with her intended to bulk her up or add more flavors?
Thanks she makes an enjoyable smoke, you can really taste the Gunslinger.
This is some hash from a gunslinger, also a lower bud pic from a gs I grew last year with dark period of 64°, top buds were black and purple, some bottom buds were purple and gold

I ordered them from Gu's website a few years ago. I've got six left on ice, had terrible germination with them initially, 2 for 5 w/ 1 female. I'm going to try three of the remainders soon I hope something cracks!
So far no signs of herming, but I am going to keep my eye on it.I grew the Barney's Pineapple Chunk twice, and twice it hermed, mine was from fem seeds.
