A new dawn.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this warm sunny morning, hope your all well. Week ten has gone, and week 11 is here, but what did week ten bring us, can only be more trouble. I can't remember the last time I had a grow last this long, it was a big Sativa, thought it would never end at 16 weeks, the veggers that were waiting to go into the flower room next were nearly as big as the flowering plants coming out. Nothing to spoil with this run as I only have the one space now, and grow direct from seed to finish. My only concern is the leaves on this extended grow, as they seem to be taking a battering. Problem with what can only be described as a three week revege, is the leaves seem stuck in between veg and flower, so I'm thinking the current leaves are going to fail the plant well before it is finished flowering. One good thing is no herming, you would think I would have a banana farm by now, but no nannas are being produced as yet. I did think about binning this grow when I saw the timer, and starting again, but now I'm intrigued to find out how it will turn out. Maybe bigger buds due to this mistake, and I'll have to do the same again next run, or could it turn into a new growing method, unlikely I think. It could be that the reveg leaves will keep the plants going until the end, we will find out over the next couple of weeks. Lets look at the pics.

The Pineapple. You can see the leaves in this pic.




Do Si Do. A lot of white hairs showing on this plant, looks like week five going by the hairs, with week nine leaves.




A pic after lights out. Looks like the Pineapple will finish first.


I'll get the Green Dragon jar out of the fridge this week end and get it strained, tested, and let you know how it turned out, I've no doubt it will involve a sofa at some point. And that's me away, enjoy your weekend people what ever your doing, pop back next week to follow my flowering saga, or if you have some thing better to do, then do that instead. Until next week, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this cool over cast morning, hope your all well. Welcome to the briar patch that has become my grow. Week twelve has gone with week thirteen starting this morning, still can't put a finish time on this grow, buds look like they are still producing white hairs, and looking at the pics, they still look like they are in week five of flower, I still expect the leaves to give up the ghost before full flowering has finished, don't know how this will pan out, but we will find out, eventually. I used to tell new growers that no matter how bad their first grow was, they would still produce some thing to smoke at the end of they're grow, I'm glad none of them had this grow on their hands, or I would have to tell a whopping big lie, and get caught out. Its a good job I don't have to smoke this run, because if my lungs were sound, they may not be after bonging this lot. Good thing is, I only need the trykes and not the leaves, so hopefully we will reap some thing worth while. Anyway, lets look at week twelves pics.

The Pineapple. You can see the leaves fading faster than the plant can finish flowering.


Long side branch. Getting a bit big to support the bud with that twig of a branch.




Do Si Do. A little more fluffy than the Pineapple. Would be nice if it all fattened up at the end.






So now we're heading into week thirteen of flower, where this grow will end, nobody knows, we are currently four weeks over the estimated finish time, and not a pure Sativa in sight. I sorted the cold Green Dragon from the fridge, but not got round to testing it yet, but this weekend is a quiet one for a change, so should get some work done and test the Amnesia Lemon dragon, got to crack on before it rains, so if you've not lost the will with this grow, then pop back next week for another update, until then, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this warm, dull, but very thundery feeling morning, hope your all well. There goes week thirteen and we are still going strong, maybe another three or four weeks left to finish flowering, I could have flowered out two runs in this time, you can guarantee I'll be keeping an eagle eye on the timer segments next time that's for sure. Week fourteen descended upon us this morning at lights on, but with out a time machine, I can only show you pics of week thirteen. But if I ever get round to building a time machine, then I'll show you the whole grow in one update. The leaves are looking terrible, my very first grow looked better than this, and I knew nothing about indoor growing back then, so all the new growers reading this, take heart, we all have a bad run from time to time. Right, pics.

The Pineapple. Such big buds, very dense.




Do Si Do. Still a lot of white hairs on these plants, the Pineapple looks a faster finisher.




Flowering horse tail. Don't know if there are seeds forming, no sign of nanners.


And finally the results of the Amnesia Lemon Green Dragon cold jar. This is the darkest coloured jar I've produced, wondered if it was the age of the bud, as it was a year old. The Amnesia Lemon was put away to be rolled in the tumbler to be used for hash, due to the fact it hermed a little, pollen makes me cough like a choking dog, and I had better bud to smoke at the time, so it was shelved. It seems a very light type of bud, don't know if that is a strain thing or not.

You can see the dark colour in this pic. Ready to sieve.


Sieved into the evaporation jar. Every other quarter fit in the sieve, bigger jar next time maybe.


I enjoyed the hit from this jar, not lemon tasting, but not unpalatable either, a quick couple of squirts into a nice coffee and it was bang on. I had a couple of hours sat about doing nothing, an enjoyable hit, the next jar is in in the fridge doing its thing. So there you are, updated, the weekend is here, so enjoy it no matter what your up to, and above all, just keep tokin folks.
