Serious Seeds Chronic Grow

[4twenty4all]

Thanks Moose. I wanted to share some new pics today. I now have 5 girls. They are starting to look better.

Here is a side bud that I pollinated:

Here is a close up shot. I think those are the seeds forming since the other buds do not look like this.

Group shot of the small girls:

Thanks Billy, now that I have all of the environmental issues fixed I expect thing to go much smoother.

Nice job Cupid! I love it when a plan works out!

 

[4twenty4all]

Thanks Boss. They are starting to give off a really sweet indica smell right now, they smell great! I bought this device that uses oils to counteract and eliminate the pot smell, it's called Vaportek 4000. It was almost 200 including a filter but so far it works great, I have it set on level 2 and it goes to 10 and filters work up to 4 months at 45 for replacement filters.

Has anyone else used a similar device that has any comments on it?

 

[Boss]

Never heard of it, sounds cool ;-)

Yeah, looking back at those 2 plants they were hermies. Ive never seen growth or anything like that either! Other than that, the female looks good. Looks like you could be watering too often though...are you using the wet/dry cycle?

 

[4twenty4all]

Yep, I've been using wet/dry watering. I see what you mean though, some of the fan leaves curl under. I wonder if that could be old damage from all of my mishaps with water, temp, and nutes a few weeks ago....

You can definately see the seeds in that one bud, which means you had a hermie somewhere dropping pollen...you did the right thing, and now your other 5 ladies have more room to work!

I hand-pollinated 3 bud sites with pollen that I collected from a male. Here are a few pictures of the main cola from plant 1 that is starting to fatten up Maybe 20 more days to go or so:

LOokin Chrinic!!! YOu got a microscope on them yet?

 

[4twenty4all]

Thanks Berry, I have a small 60 up to 100 power pocket microscope. More trichs are showing every day now and mostly clear with some cloudy maybe 70% clear and 30% cloudy or up to 40% cloudy.

Just because I LOVE pictures.... Here are some close up bud shots with trichs. Hope you like em, I sure do! ;-p

Holy cow, how the hell do you get those pics?!? How many megapixels you got? Im assuming you zoom in with a product like photo shop, but how far away was the camera from the plant when you actually took the pics? I wanna take some pics like that!

 

[4twenty4all]

I use a Canon PowerShot SD1000 Elph 7.1 mega pixels. Its a pretty nice pocket camera and takes nice pics considering its size. I like it even more because I used my amex points and didn't pay a thing for it. I think its like the saying, "Food always tastes better when it is free". It has a option you select that enables a digital macro which enables you to take pictures of small objects from about 1 inch away and it zooms in up to 4 times and gets right in there ;-). So the pics are just the way the camera takes them, no photo shop needed.

Here is another update with pics on day 52 of flowering. The trichs are mostly cloudy maybe 80 - 90 % with no amber yet. Day temps are between 76 - 80 F and night are 68 - 70 F. I flushed the 2 large plants 3 days ago and used fresh squeezed OJ with last 1/2 gallon of water used to flush. They do look a little battered but still healthy. They look to have a lot more trichs within the last few days. The 2 large plants may be ready in another 5 - 10 days or so.

The 3 12/12 girls are doing ok as well, they are at about day 45 - 50 I think. One of them has 3 colas and I didn't top it. The buds are small on that one. Anyway, here are some pics:

Nice camera work! +10 reps

Just because I LOVE pictures.... Here are some close up bud shots with trichs. Hope you like em, I sure do! ;-p

F@#king rediculous, gorgous shots man, what camera are you using(megapixels). Serious seeds never disappointed me. doesnt look like you will be too disappointed either!

 

[4twenty4all]

Thanks Moose and Berry! I use a Canon PowerShot SD1000 Elph 7.1 mega pixels.
The smell in the last week or so is becoming very potent when I walk into the room, it smells sweet and earthy if thats possible. Can't wait to try them!

5 days ago I cut a small bud and dried it for 4 days and cured it in jar for one day to sample. I tried the lower half of the bud and it was pretty nice buzz, the taste was fresh and slightly sweet. The top part of the bud had more crystals on it and was sweet in taste and the high is GREAT! Immediately I felt slight body numbing and wandering/dreamy mind. Very NICE! Does anyone know if this is the way the finished bud will be.... Meaning, will the top part of the buds have a better effect? If so, why is that? Just because there are more thc crystals?

BTW... I'm totally stoned as I am writing this

The top part of the buds have 'fresher' resins, and you get a better high in my opinion.
