Greenpoint seeds!!

Looks awesome! 480 watts of high quality LED crushes it. My light is actually 460 at full blast, two boards and four bars, and my colas get crisped if I turn them up too high. None of my plants have been able to handle full power yet but the heat and drought here are just ripping water out of my leaves. I might try turning it up more when it cools off and I can reduce the VPD on my plants.

Speaking of which it looks like the heat is causing some minor foxtailing on my tomahawk. Nothing too serious though. I can’t wait for it to cool off. My shitty 15 amp circuits can’t handle an AC in the grow room.

Full power definitely puts colas at risk . I noticed that the further tops are from the light, the more trichomes develop and buds that are indirectly exposed to light are super icy. It could be a sweetspot, I also could be crazy though

My jelly dream is sure getting frosty! Still a ways to go

You’re right about that sweet spot. I’ve noticed that some of my lower buds at trellis level are frostier than the top colas. The tomahawk and stardawg leaning sky master were more sensitive to the light than the rum runner, which just seems to be able to take an extreme amount of heat and light.

Anyway the first cookie crunch just showed pistils. Hardiest and fastest growing of all 9 and looking like a stardawg leaner, although I don’t know what do-si-dos looks like for comparison. Big one in the middle of the first pic. I’m definitely starting to think that a single apical meristem shows preflowers sooner than a plant that is topped early, after my experience with the chem pie and this.

The stardawg leaning chem pie and the other bodega are going in once the tomahawk and sky master come down in about a week.

Those two are looking so tasty. First close up bud pic is the sour berry tomahawk and the second is the alien OG leaner.

This is why I ordered 3 more packs of dream catcher, the buds are dense and greasy and smell like sweet blueberry with the fuel at the end . First green point grow and my next going in Is cowboy cookie and dawg lemon , I got a couple Texas butter outside and stink like rotting bananas already taking pics later of those.

And here’s some valley chem got three going not much difference in bud structure but one was a bit runty but still grew bushy they all smell like lemon and strong piney with a hint of citrus

And the one and only rain dance that survived and was female her smell is...... citrus earthy old dish rag bad breath, they are 10 weeks today all of them , started flush today

Topanga wedding on the right Topanga canyon s1 x2 on left

Bodega #2 (center) and the 3 chem pies (wedding pie leaners on the left and stardawg leaner on the right). I’m going to let those wedding pie leaners veg for a long time because they don’t take up much space. The second bodega (which took until a couple days ago to finally show pistils) is going into a 7 gallon and getting flipped when the tomahawk and sky masters get chopped. I‘ll put the stardawg chem pie in when the rum runner comes down, and just leave room for the wedding pie leaners so they can veg for another month or so. All four are looking awesome. Stem rub of the really compact wedding pie leaner smells amazing, like fruity custard. The slightly bigger one is more skunky.

It’s also looking like I’ll get another really high female ratio with the cookie crunch. Two with pistils and 5 more that look promising, out of 9 total. That’s an honest to goodness pheno hunt, and (potentially) two packs in a row with 75% females, or maybe slightly more if all 7 of the likely cookies end up being female.

Got'em in my hands today.. see what happens

My 3 California Cannon F2s are at 60 with time to go. Also have more original California Cannon left still. Good luck and have fun.

Right on ! I'm ( my ol lady ) is hoping for a tahoe leaner. So that's where this is headed.

Tossed one cookie crunch that had big balls on him. The other eight all appear to be female, with five now showing pistils. That’s pretty astounding.

Oh and can anyone tell me what the deal with this foxtailing is? Is it from heat? Nutes? Both? For what it’s worth I haven’t fed her anything in a long time. At least they’re chunky foxtails and not running all over the place. Will they just keep growing? I’m planning on chopping this one on Saturday.

Heat has been my issue with causing foxtailing so that's my vote.

That girl looks like you have grown her VERY well. Nice fade on her.
High temps can absolutely cause/increase foxtails.
"Eternal flowering" is "a thing" with some Chem lines. I've heard SkunkVA talk about it with Chem '91 (and seen pics of it) and Gu's Stardawg male can definitely do the same thing. The flowers keep adding weight, but there are diminishing returns, right?

I think the key is to just go by resin maturity instead of waiting for all pistils to brown out.

There are tricks you can do to influence the ladies to finish, you already mentioned avoiding heat and reducing nutes as you approach finish time.
The only thing you didn't mention would be increasing "dark time" but I wouldn't be surprised to hear you've already been progressively dialing back the "on time" as she approaches finish.

If your giving the girl what she wants and she still wants to throw fresh pistils, who cares.
Great lookin flower

There are Sativas that foxtail throughout flower, but it is a natural form of the bud. It is different from foxtailing late that make very narrow and light foxtailing that does next to nothing for weight. Make trimming a real pain. My tent doesn’t get any warmer than I choose. I have run strains that do this late and I usually chop then as things are ready.

So take it as a sign she’s ready? I was going to wait until this weekend but I could use the room in my flower tent.

Once they start that loose foxtailing, the trimming goes to shit.

Yep, my last strain which did that I said fuck it half way through trimming and froze it to wash. Too much hassle for the little amount of bud. It was great hash rosin though.
