Sour Diesel & ATF Grow

[kickstart]

A couple quick bud shots from this harvest... This one is of some of the Sour Diesel...

This is some JTR Lemon, notice all the red hairs! Very colorful and reminiscent of days long ago...

More to come...

 

[kickstart]

BTW, Ugodmade, The smoke on the JTR is excellent, very mellow hit, cerebral high and really sticky. The SD is kind of peppery tasting and very much a couch-lock high. My brother says I should pick a winner and run with it, but I like variety, not only is it keeping it interesting, but different strains have different weaknesses and strengths, it is good to not keep all your eggs in one basket... One is better with temp or humidity, or with mites, or maybe better with over fert., etc.

I miss the beautiful colors we used to get as well. Seems like we get all deep green or all brown with a bit of amber. It's always nice to see and smell real cannabis, the way it is meant to be

When harvesting my next wave of plants I noticed one of the oddest things I have seen. One leaf sprouted a small bud right in the center! This is a picture of it. Has anyone ever seen this before or know what may have caused it?

Here is some more harvest pictures. This is the second wave. Notice this trippy reddish purple on some of the plants...

Most of the leaves have been removed again before hanging. Some of these buds are as big around as a softball...

 

[Ugodmade]

Wow man love those buds looks like you have some good stuff in there ! How about a big hand for kickstart !

 

[Boss]

Very nice man- excellent grow, and beautiful buds. I love the purple in those!

 

[kickstart]

Thank you Ugodmade and Boss-G. What about the leaf with the bud in the center? Ever seen that happen?

 

[Boss]

Hell no, I think you just grow freaks.. LOL

Moose has got to see that man...

You know, I find it hard to imagine my plants in week 4 of flowering can get big buds like that in just another 4-5 weeks.. Not that they will get that big, but still...

 

[Ugodmade]

No Never seen anything like it but i haven't seen alot this would be a first for me ! Strange but very cool /.. Id smoke it lol

 

[kickstart]

ROTFL right on Boss, I tend to attract freaky friends and freaky girls too! I grew a bit about 20 yrs. ago, but never really really got serious untill 2001 when I got my first medical card here. I never would have imagined it before then. Technology available to us now is great and if one is serious about putting the work (and time) in the results are mind blowing.

 

[Big dog]

Absolutely beautiful! I'm so jealous!

 

[Boss]

Not work man, A labor of LOVE!

 

[Smokin Moose]

I have seen this happen several times. If you remember that calyxes are just modified leaves, it is easier to understand why this happens. I saw a member have this happen a couple of months ago. It is uncommon, but not unusual.

Thank you Ugodmade and Boss-G. What about the leaf with the bud in the center? Ever seen that happen?

 

[kickstart]

OK Moose, is there a single cause that it can be attributed to? Any educated guesses? Just a freak of nature? This leaf was near the top but below top buds, one of the last bid leaves...

 

[Smokin Moose]

It is just a variant in flowering. A calyx is just a modified leaf remember, so it it not that unusual if you see it happen. I usually see it on very healthy plants only, and mostly indicas.

 

[Smokin Moose]

Just put this up again so folks can see the small floret at the axis of the leaf.

 

[kickstart]

Thank you Moose for the explanation. I have never seen that happen before!
