What's in Roddy's Garden Today??

[Roddy]

Well, I'm a bit amazed, really! I went in and checked the gals at lights on, beautiful as usual, but the purpling of the TW keeps me wondering wth, so I decided I'd clip a leaf or two to check trichs...just for kicks since I was thinking I had a week or two left on her. Trichs are right there in the range of done, almost overdone?

Plant looks like it has a few weeks left in her, the lower buds look like they could be in the final filling in stage...but all leaves I checked say she's ready now? I went back in the journal as best I could, found she's been in budding for around 9 weeks or so....wow, how time flies!

I'm usually waiting impatiently for the plant to be done, checking trichs for days in advance...if not weeks lol, but this one took me by surprise. Guess I'll be chopping her down tomorrow night unless the boy comes home ready to work tonight!

Honestly though, she looks to not be the yield I am hoping for, her main buds are smallish and her smaller buds are...small LMAO! we'll see....

 

[Roddy]

lmao...didn't chop. It just doesn't look ready, it looks like it's in the final bulking up stage. However, trichs can't lie, can they? First leaf i looked at was in the middle of the plant and it had several black trichs as well as many amber and cloudy...not many clear at all.

I guess I waited because it just didn't feel right, the yild will be small imho...but I guess I'm chopping tonight!

I dont think trichs know how to lie, mate Sorry its not the weight you were expecting. Hopefully the high will make up for it :aok:

 

[Roddy]

THANKS Moses!

It's no so much the yield is small, the buds just don't look "full"! I'd wager she's still around 5-6 oz, but she just doesn't look done!

Hi Roddy. Imo, if you have black trich's then that girl is a little over ripe... I would chop reguardless of the bud structure. Have you sampled a small bud by chance? At least you could see what the high is like...

 

[Rosebud]

Roddy, I cut the top half of train wreck two weeks before the bottom half. I didn't this grow but have always done that w/TW before this one. I don't know what your going for but tw can be quite speedy but if you have amber she is not speedy. good luck roddy.

 

[Roddy]

I'm thinking I might cut half and watch the other half, will be checking it all out in about an hour lol I'll get pics!

 

[Roddy]

Here's the pre-chop pics....

This is the jungle I call Train Wreck lol, what a bush!

Not as hefty as I had hoped, but she'll do us fine!

Sweet tea and Train Wreck....

Life is good!

Front view.

Cola! Not as big as others, but it's mine!

 

[AluminumMonster]

Wow! Thats an amazing looking plant, man. If thats the small cola i want to see the big ones, because that one is huge.

 

[Rosebud]

Life is good, you are right. Love the TW. Congrats.

 

[Roddy]

You gotta love that, I got out of trimming! I hurt my hand a few weeks back, it was strained a bit at work, and now I can't use the scissors! All the good and none of the work, YEAH!

THANKS for the kind words Rosie, AM!!

:ciao: Roddy...I would do as ya said and take Hlaf her now and let her lower go a week or more...She looks to me like she could go a few more weeks..But that me...Great Job thus far...I need me sprain hand :giggle:

Take care and be safe:bolt::bong:

 

[Roddy]

I was going to, 4U, but even the lower skimp buds show amber and black trichs....it's really odd! I know it's not too little light, there's 2800w in that 5'x9' room...well, not a serious lacking of light anyway!

Some buds are very hard nugs, others are airy at best.....we'll have plenty for hash! I'm gonna attribute it to room being crowded and the poor gal was pushed into the corner....but it really didn't seem any different than previous grow conditions.

 

[Roddy]

We're getting to the hard nugs now, here's a purple one I tried to show you:

Imagine the great purples and glistening trichs in this bud....if the camera wasn't such junk, you'd be able to enjoy it as much as I!

It's a pretty purple, only wish I could show you better! I don't know why purple either.

The bud room is a bit less of a jungle now, but a jungle all the same, am putting camera beside door so I remember to take pic in morning!

 

[TheKlonedRanger]

Gotta love TW. Very nice roddy!

 

[Roddy]

OK, this is just a quick-dried bud from the bottom of the plant and all, it is green and was a bit tough lighting, but I think I'm in love!!! I have to admit, I just smoked a ton of dope with a friend and am already high, but WOW! I cant wait to hit this stuff after a bit of drying and curing!

I'm betting the yield is about 5oz +/- of solid bud, we threw all airy stuff straight to the hash bin, so doesn't get in on the final weigh!

 

[MosesPMG]

Congrats mate :aok: cant wait for some pics

 

[Roddy]

THANKS Moses!! It's quite the intense buzz, I love it!

 

[Ruffy]

[Roddy]

THANKS Ruffy!!! Smoking on a nice fast-dried joint now...
