Thanks roaring lion!

I'm actually a bit confused over the posted dates for flowering times from breeders ... so as they get close to the suggested harvest date ... I'll check the trichomes daily.
SQI2kGuy,
I see the Cream Caramel has still got some "maturing" to do. she's a fine looking teenager who needs to morph into a lady. lots of white hairs just sprouting and reaching for the light. your others (killer kush, green poison a little blurry) look a little more mature. it'll be nice to stagger the harvest dates and enjoy a multi flavoured salad once you're all done. beauty looking.

Hi again @roaring lion ... what's the story behind your avatar?

I am liking how the the Cream Caramel CBD and the Red Mandarine are developing under the "12-12 from seed" method. In 3 gallon pots of soil though ... I'm not sure what the yield is going to be.

I need to check, but the Killer Kush and Green Poison might almost be done ... I hope so ... because I planned on them being done and I need the space for my upcoming coco SOG.

As much as I like consistency of cones and SOGs ... there's a lot that appeals to me in terms of the variation in strains.

It's like dating ... you need to try a lot of different types to make sure you can pick what's best for you :)

If I have the opportunity to buy a mixed bag of seeds in the future ... I definitely will!
 
SQL2kGuy,

Avatar: this is a cactus i've had for 15 years that has only flowered once. the whole flowering period was quite a sight...first there was these 2 nubs that starting protruding from the cactus, that slowly grew bigger until one day there were these tremendous blooms. the flowers closed at night and opened the next day. after the 2nd day, they never opened again and slowly wilted. that was 13 years ago. glad i don't have to wait 13 years for me cannabis to flower...

i will also start collecting seeds for next spring. i've quite enjoyed getting back into it after a 15 year layoff...super excited for the Jack Herer to finish off. i'm now bringing the ladies in nightly for a sleepover and putting them out in the morning into the hillbilly greeenhouse. temps have been 2.3 C, 2.6, 2,4 over the last few nights and i'm easily 2 weeks away on Bertha (JH) and Alice (Hash Plant), probably closer to 4 weeks with Sindy and Athena so they need all the love they can get.
i'll be looking for some cannabis with quicker flowering periods next year. will look for both sativa dominant and some indica dominant strains. seems like indicas have monopolized the "underground" market for several years here in the west. now that it's legal, all kinds of strains to be enjoyed. seed market needs to be relaxed in my opinion. oredering online is cool, and with all the varieties i'm seeing here on 420 magazine, i'll be making a few purchases over the winter.

not sure what to say about the dating thing...i've tested out a bunch of different varieties and finding the right model has still eluded me, despite being a father to two boys. god bless them all and happiness comes from within...

what kind of yield did you get from baby groot and thanos?

best of luck over the next few days...
 
October 11 2019 - Update
A horrible day today ... Dr. Watson had to be put down due to Kidney stones. He tried so hard to be brave in the end with the pain ... everybody got a chance to say goodbye ... he was an awesome dog he was only 8 ... life hurts so bad sometimes.

I harvested the rest of the plants ... the Dark Devil Autos went all moldy and I had to throw them out.

I think the Red Mandarin might be going moldy too.

I tried too many different things ... too many different harvest dates ... not enough space ... too many plants ...

A lot of wasted time ... money ... and medicine ...

I really need to get my crap together for this next grow ... and learn from my mistakes!!!
