Hey thanks! I hope all those stars don't go to my head. I've heard the same thing about filling to 3/4. Some jars are fuller than others. There is still plenty of air space in all the jars. I left the buds big on some and they reach to the top. My big jars would only be 1/2 or less full and I don't have enough empty ones.

I got the medicine cabinet all stocked up. Here is the one plant I'm growing now. (Platinum OG X Sour Stomper), It was vegging and training in the veg cab while the others were flowering. It kind of filled up the 2x2 and was starting to stress. It appears so much happier now after being repotted and having more room. The buds on the last one of these I grew were super fat. See bud pic. I plan to grow this one out bigger. Anyway, thanks for visiting! Check back to see the progress....

Well, so much for only focusing on one plant for the rest of this season. I went to visit a fellow medical patient growing friend of mine. He ended up popping a bunch of the beans I shared with him and said, "here take some, they came from you." It's great to have such good relationships and be able to share and horse trade with my friends. Anyway, look at these beauties. How could I say no. I ended up with a real nice Critical Amnesia, (which seems to be a fan favorite), and a small pearly girl x pineapple express. These are just starting to flower so I'll finish them off with my one plant for my third and final crop for 2021. I have them in the green house now but grandkids might come by so if they do I'll put them indoors and end up flipping the one I have vegging. I do have a couple little green crack clones I took too and considering hitting them with some of my male thai pollen. Their mother turned out beautifully.

Jason big Question here How did you collect your pollen from your male plants i usually myself just cut branches place into plastic bags and freeze them but i like your system holding in viles please ship me your system love them bud pictures thank you Robert

Well to be honest I'm a major rookie at collecting pollen and that was my first and only time so far. Everything I did was improvising from what I have read and researched. The best thing I think I did was remove the males from my property and select the best of the 3 to finish off maturing at a friends house over 20 miles away. I was very concerned with accidentally pollinating the rest of my crop. When it started really dropping pollen I kind of did what Brother Randall was saying and just shook it, in my case over tin foil. I sifted out the larger plant material, let it dry out overnight and then just collected and put in vials. Those vials are now in an airtight container with silica gel desiccant in my freezer. I've also heard of adding flour to the pollen to reduce moisture and even grains of rice added to the vials but haven't done that. I could have easily filled twice as many vials with pollen but figured what I had was more than enough. I'm planning of popping some of the awesome genetics I've obtained and repeating the process in 2022. I've found out nothing seems to go completely as planned so I'll just take it as it comes and keep plugging along. Producing some awesome feminized pollen and fem seeds is my long term goal.

Here are a few update pics since I haven't posted any for a few weeks.

 

[Alphatoy]

the little benders look great Jason looks Professional plants look great keep the photos coming

 

[Jason]

One month update. Critical Amnesia is about a week or so away from chop then the Pineapple Express x Pearly Girl next. The P.OG x SS won't be ready until around December.

looking great jason but what is that orange fungus turning your branches ha ha they work great dont they i have used as many as 6 on one limb but it makes the limb a bit heavy but i have learned when you use more of them it makes the limbs larger or i should say fatter the only one i dont use them on is my Frankenstein thats the first plant i could grow outside but it is getting to look more like cannabis now with all the buds full of seed its good it is getting fall dont have as many people coming to the lake now but i have been busy building my sea wall by my self loads of work have it about 5/8 finished now maybe another week it will be done water is getting cold for my old Ass.

Great job jason have you started Frankenstein as of yet i harvested my gorilla girl,baked alaska, and rainmaker was a bit disapointed all three totaled a bit over 1 oz after drying very small and airy buds were not great buds like my Texas Afghan Kate which produced 10 oz my frankenstein will be coming down in about 5 days she is loaded with seeds if you need some let me know i still have some of the stamps you sent me thank you they have really been a blessing. so many people want free seeds but they dont want to pay for the postage i cant figure that one out except maybe they are cheaper than myself.

 

[Jason]

Thanks for the kind words @Alphatoy, you made my day! Haven't' done any Frankenstein yet. I'm thinking of trying some of them outside this spring. I have so darn many seeds I want to try but only so much time and space. I chopped my Pineapple Express X Pearly Girl and two small green crack clones yesterday. Only the Platinum OG x Sour Stomper is left and has several weeks yet to fatten up. Bummer on the poor yields. What do you think was the problem? Did you pull 10 ounces off one Texas Afghan Kate plant? How is the bud quality on that one?

 

[Alphatoy]

yes TAK was a great producer wifey said it was great gave her a great buz and lasted for quite a while i believe it is 24% THC and more that was a while back i believe family used that one up actually i probably only have about 6oz of cannabis left in storage so i told family to slow up it will be 6 weeks before i have any thing else coming into harvest time since my last harvest was more of a seed crop and my frankenstein is a seed plant so i dont know if she is going to have any cannabis to smoke she had no phistles so its harp to tell her readyness she has trycones and they are milky but i took off one of the seeds pressed it between fingers and it popped so they are not ready yet for if they are ready they will be hard and you can not pop them between fingers Pineapple Express and Platinum OG both sounds yummy

Currently on vacation in Hawaii and let me tell ya, cannabis authorizations for visiting medical patients are not user friendly and seem to be promoting the local black market. Prices are insane and selection is very limited too.

Damn, Man; you need to open your own dispensery.

I'm curious how the Somango turned out. How's the smoke and effects?

No shit, a guy could make a killing at $60+ an 1/8 and $25-30 a gram.
The Somango performs as good as it looks! Taste great, super smooth and a very relaxing, mellow out, kind of high. Can't go wrong choosing to grow this one.
