I repotted my poor Mimosa mother from a 3 gallon to a 5 gallon felt pot. She is over grown and the lower branches have pale green leaves. She has been eking out an existence in my furnace room with some clones under a 2 bulb t5. In a week or so she gets to go live in the flower tent. I have not tried flowering a mother plant before but I am thinking she is going to need a couple or a few weeks of veg/recovery before I flip her(if she survives to repotting)...
And my vape device from Santa. Black Mamba. Works well enough. We just partake at home anyway so no need of ultra stealth. Battery life could be better but for $37, can’t go wrong. Ceramic chamber and glass lined, replaceable mouth piece with one replacement.
Pot-pourri! That's the smell of success! I think you're going to have a hoot flowering that big girl out. She's a nice size for pruning/training into whatever form fits your space best!
i have done a scrog a couple of times in the past and had good results but the netting and pvc pipe is configured for a 2x4 tent which my son has now. i need to scheme up something for this 3x3 tent for this plant.
Got a stray hair across my butt today and thought I should harvest the Mimosa plants. Chopped the biggest colas off one and got it trimmed up. Figured I’d leave the lower stuff to ripen up a bit. Looking at what I trimmed though, I think I pulled the trigger too early. All cloudy trichs but very few ambers. Tomorrow is 9 weeks and I chopped the mother of these clones at 9 weeks so I figured it would be time. If think I will wait a bit for the other plant. Bummer. Note to self-checking trichs when bleary eyed is not recommended...
Anyway, here are some pics. On a positive note, the house smells nice. Mimosa doesn’t smell skunky. More fruity...
Some very nice lookin nugs there!!! I just put a couple of germinated seeds into some coco minutes ago...Mimosa(f) x Mendo Cookies(m)...Thanks a bunch and I’m hopeful!!!
I look forward to seeing what you get from those. I have not chopped the pollinated branch in this plant yet but if I get some seeds, I will try to replace that male seed I sent you. I got 1 female out of 4 seeds. Hoping Rose has better luck. I split the pack of seeds with her.
I’ve noticed dispensaries here don’t trim as much as I do. I am sure they have to pay more for people to trim more and there is decreased weight so it is a double whammy on the bottom line...
Out here it is piece work. $.33/g, $150/lb so it doesn't benefit them to trim as much off as possible. It is more like they shave and shape the bud, more than trim it.
I wouldn't bother. Too much work. Unless you are competing with Cali buds, who cares. I don't filter my beer unless I enter it in a competition, either.
