once upon a time...

[Munchy]

thanks guys. yeh smokes, i just tie them down during veg, as during blooming i would tend to turn around and support them up instead, if it were at all needed. i believe training and stress is beneficial during veg, and blooming should be more stress-free. and those last ones were already being re-trained, as i had previously had them tied down for a couple/few daze, and then they had been released for a few daze, and would be going through that cycle once or twice more. it kept me real busy there for a couple of weeks.. until they start popping some good shoots for cuttings and general bushiness, and to prevent any from getting too tall as well.

and i almost forgot, here's the orig set of clones that was also in there with those, on the left side. notice how they were smaller, about a week or so behind, because it was hard to sync up the seeds and clones together, and now this seems like it's about to end up affecting the yield, since they all had to go into flowering together asap, as i needed all the veg space for the next crop of OgreX clones.















^^and btw, that is the reason i always take 2 cuttings of each..
just in case one doesn't make it, the other is a backup so i won't lose the strain, without having a dedicated set of mother plants. but then i can't waste them or let my numbers double up, so that's why i have to double them up in the pots instead. right now i have about 25 different things to sort through and get narrowed down to the top 10 or something, asap. but i'll still have to give some of these spare phenos a fair shake before i give em the boot.

Pulling up a chair and enjoying the grow show.

But Munchy, think it's such a good idea to have family photos up in the grew room pics?

[Munchy]

yeh, it's ok because he was wearing shades, lol

my mouse is acting very crazy, it was like pulling teeth to edit this next set of pics

and get em posted. i just had it almost done and the page flipped back by itself. now
i'm using notepad to retype it, because it wants to keep playing games with my browser.

anyway... they're of the bloomin 7, a little bit later on..

so shortly thereafter, and being low on meds,
i had cut a few premature buds off the bottom of each plant..

[Munchy]

now i know this all ain't really that impressive...
but they're pretty small plants, my cam sucks,
and i'm mostly just trying to keep it real.
because my goal here is really to compare the results of these strains,
before and after the Ogre... as i think it will be a happy ending indeed.
and i'm still kinda setting the stage...
i imagine it's going to improve the yields and potency so much that i'll just cut all these originals out, except for the orig ogre, which will probably become the least desired
so anyway, here i was at 45 daze and decided to harvest the whole crop a bit early
due to needing the space vacated for seedlings to start flowering asap.

[flash forward 45 more daze] i'm gonna watch Shrek the Halls tonite.
and i'm down to about 6g from this crop, and in two daze i'll start smoking the next crop
the orig cindy, barney, and DB are just dry now... gotta jar em up and start curing.
the ogre and both orig pogs are about ready to chop now i think
and i need to get some fresh clones cut like yesterday...
i'm trying to keep from harvesting it all early this time,
so i'll need to flip to veg over to 12/12 for a week or two while the clones root.[/flash forward]

so anyway here was Cindy, 45 daze is perfect for her




and the Derailed Blues is also quite ready at 45 daze

[Munchy]

thank man, i was just about to say that they may be small but at least they are quick and tasty.
i did stop feeding them all at around 30 daze...
just straight water for close to a couple of weeks for kinda passive flushing...

Barney's usually about ready in 45 too..

all hangin up... the total dry weight was only about 4oz or so.
too bad it was only a half-sized crop... i could've easily had twice as many.

[Munchy]

the seedlings were starting to get unruly..


preppin for major clonage..
