A Late Afghan Runt

[Thorn]

Hello all! Well I germinated this afghan bean a while ago and it took ages to get going so I call her my little runt!

Not sure how old she is exactly as i haven't made any notes on her. I plan on planting her outside within the next few days so I can see how she does and see what bud, if any, I get off it! And yes yes I know its too late in the season really, but I don't really want a smelly plant in my room at this time. Plus I have lowryder mints growing on 18/6 so i don't really want to change the light schedule down to 12/12.

Anyway here are some pics..

Pictures 4, 5, 6 and 7 were taken the other day. They look a little yellow but I think thats mostly the lighting. I don't know if you can see, but the plant has almost split into 2 main tops at the top. I think one side branch came out because of my lighting (just 2 20 watt 2700K cfls in desk lamps!) and has almost equalled the top 'branch'.

Very strange!

Anyway I will be planting her out sometime in the next few days

Even though she may be a runt, you sure do have a GREEN thumb.

Awesome job Thorn!!! :cool2:

First pic is from 28/08 The rest are from 30/08

On saturday I decided to plant it outside so she is now well hidden (hopefully) and in a place I can visit easily to check on progress. If it is a male then I will just leave it to grow as it won't do any harm. And if its female then woohoo hopefully I'll get some good bud!

Hope everyone is doing well and had a nice weekend

Nice and healthy Thorn. Looking good

 

[Thorn]

wow thanks guys, thanks hick - means a lot coming from you

Yep she's all planted up and hidden so who knows what will become of her, well I hope she's a she hehe!

I will probably go see 'her' at some point this week as I will need to hide my 3 Lowryder Mint for my holiday. I'm just hoping they aint gonna get too eaten!!

There were LOADS of big black slugs where I hid this afghan. I put down a lot of weather proof slug pellets so i'm just hoping they will hold

I have just 2 little pictures I took today - in the wind and rain I might add

Its a healthy enough lookin plant. Maybe a little yellow again so when I come back off the holiday I will take up some water/feed mixture

I think the camera still had its flash on for some reason, so the pics aren't great, but you get the idea

Well I went out to check on her yesterday and I also got the chance to have a look in the place that I planted an afghan earlier in the year. I hadn't been able to get to this place because the farmers that owned it (I thought it was just waste land whoops) had cut everything right down twice in the summer and there was always someone around so I didn't dare go back just incase. But well I have now and I couldn't find her so, as I thought, she probably died! Oh well...I wasn't really expecting her to survive!

Anyway on with my afghan runt hehe...

Got some pics, sorry bout the quality the camera is a bit poo! Still no sign of sex yet, which is a little dissappointing as I don't know if she will ever finish hehe! But anyway here she, sorry IT, is...

 

[Thorn]

Well I am pleased but worried to say that the afghan runt is a girl! She has just one single hair visible to the eye. Got some great pics of her, she's a little yellow but on top has turned colour to a deep red and green. Is this because of the chilly nights?

Well anyway, of course this means that now she'll need 7-9 weeks to finished lol! So that'll take us into december but well maybe we'll get a nice october and november and she may just be alright by the end ov november :confused2: who knows.

So pictures! Its just one plant, sorry I went a little mad!

 

[Thorn]

Ok so I said I'd go see her today and, well, I tried to..

From the footpath I could see 3 or 4 people near where she's planted They didn't look like cops or anything, but I forgot that its half term so all the kids are off school this week :doh: so it was probably just a group of lads. Hopefully they haven't found my baby! I could have waited around to see if they left but that woulda been stupid cos they coulda ended up bein undercover cops waiting for the planter to return, or they coulda been nasty boys with weapons. Its just not worth the risk.

So will have to wait until next week to go check her

Ok went to see the Affy runt yesterday and knew i'd chop down whatever was left of her... and not much lol!

She was barely alive, although I wasn't surprised as we had the odd few harsh frosts. At first I couldn't spot her for AGES lol then spotted her, took a few pics then my stupid retard dog decided to turn around and wipe her behind on it and broke the poor beaten little affy! So then I was left with no choice but to pick her lol. she was a lovely purple colour but I know that is only due to the cold

So anyway here she is. outdoor pics not very good lol sorry. you can actually see her trichomes in the last pics...all clear of course! left it on the radiater to dry, nuked it for about 30 seconds and smoked it in a vanilla rip and was actually quite a nice buzz...but over all not really worth it.

So if your thinking of doing a late outdoor grow, in my opinion it ISN'T worth it unless your plant is sexually mature and ready to flower by mid-end of august

On the plus side we saw an AWESOME dear while i was taking these pics...if the fella hadn't have come with me I would have been oblivious! He was pretty big with a white bum!! The dear that is, not my fella haha!

 

[NewbieG]

well good try man. can't say i blame ya for trying. I'm doing the same thing lol.

 

[DomsChron]

Looks like she should provide some nice smoke buddy! Let us know how she burns in your pipe/bong/joint/blunt/whatever you like to toke out of!

 

[Thorn]

lol doms i'm sure i said in that post that i dried her and smoked her last night and she gave a nice little buzz lol

 

[DomsChron]

Lol I did re-read. I'm, likin the sound of the "not worth it" buzz!

How does it feel? LOL!

P.s. I'm likin the new avatar...is that what you look like?!?! :hubba: :hubba:

 

[Thorn]

lol no, i'm not that attractive, but i can wish... hehe

lol yea the smoke was ok, only a little tiny buzz but then there was hardly any of it! was just a nice one to relax to while we watched an episode of Lost I have grown afghan before though to its full flowering amount and its a very nice smoke when finished up proper

 

[Thorn]

oh and i just told the boyfriend that if we ever get a big yeild i'll take photos of me like that for him and like with buds on my bits haha
