Jankahar's Slex test grows

Recommended Posts

day 41-42  girls have developed super fast some hairs started to turn color right after last update and buds have swelled like crazy they eat and drink huge amounts as well

nr1, 2 and 4 started to get colored pistils after last update and they are increasing rapidly but the nr3 doesnt seem to show any yet

 

the smells have started to come out too, the nr1 haze looking girl is very lemony and resembles the slh i have in so many ways, the resin production on the nr1 is incredible the resin stalks and gland heads seem to be bigger on it than the other phenos, it is pretty clear now that nr1 and nr3 are not same phenos as they have shown so many differences now

if you look from earlier seedling pictures the nr1 is that freak seedling with weird twisty leaf shape early on and the damaged node when it was in veg

 

the nr2 smell reminded me a bit of orange rind marmelade initially few days ago when the smells really started to come out properly with the resin production but the smell has developed to more and more complex each passing day, nr4 seems to be similar or same with 2, it is complex with a bit pungent after tone and not so easy to point out anything specific from it, except the orange rind smell i got from it earlier

 

nr3 seems to have milder and sweeter lemon smell than the nr1 but i smelled that last and had other smells on me already, i will have to smell them in different order next time

nr5 is growing like a champ as well at day 6-7 extremely good vigor like they all had

i forgot to show the 6th slex, i decided to grow her in dwc after long wait root bounded in the seedling cup, it has adjusted to the bucket pretty well now and is growing at decent speed

it is also one of the ''fatter'' leafed phenotypes or the rounded serration edge leaf shape

day 48-49   what can i say the plants are amazing colas are huge and swelling fast, they have drinked little slower in last couple days  going back to 2-2,5 day watering cycle now as they are probably flipping to the ripening phase from the peak flower building period, the nr3 has also started to get colored pistils for few days now, prob 10~days after the other plants

 

they also need a bit change in nutrient profile now since they are ripening and assuming plants 1,2 and 4 have got around 3 weeks left , they have shown little more deficiency for phosphorous&potassium now also, the leaf loss has been so slow thought that it prob didnt harm the yields much if at all considering how the bud looks:)

 

i will aim to harvest nr1, nr2 and 4 main colas after full 10 weeks if all goes well and the nr3 will get week or two longer since it has developed later than other

jose  the nr2 and nr4 smell like exo or very close to them and nr1 is like normal sour lemon and nr3 is more like sweet lemon/citrus fruit

day 56-57 full 8 weeks, again alot has happened since last week and my harvest plans have changed completely since than.plants ripened more rapidly than first expected, some buds are pretty much ready to cut with full of milky trichomes

nr3 looked like it was little behind earlier and i was expecting to cut it at least week later than the other girls but it looks like it has almost  catched the other girls in ripeness

 

i can see quite a bit of amber trichomes in all them already, thought they still push new flowers same time. all the stems have started to lean very heavily and calyxes have swollen alot, and smell is heavy

so the harvest time will be much sooner as they got all signs of getting ready before or at full 9weeks of flower, we will see how it develops in next days.

i will cut the tops first and leave lower buds for longer possibly full 10 weeks to get some more amber stash also

 

 i screwed up a bit with the dwc slex in veg couple days ago, i forgot to top the bucket and i dont know how long it was without water, anyway i lost bunch of branches from it and all the fan leafs:/

now it looks horrible and it is still recovering from it but still alive so i will give it time to repair back, this hit me at pretty bad moment since i dont have proper size veg plants to go in next but lucky there is still time to try fix it, i usually have some extra veg or mother plant i can use in situation like this but not this time im afraid

 

anyways next time it will partial harvest update and possibly little taste test report.

last night i found some two spot mites from my vegtent:/ so the plans have changed again... i cant continue the perpetual flowering any longer because of them and must wait until all flowering plants are harvested so i can clear everything and start from scratch

i did not notice if they have spread in to flower tent yet, all my chili plants in living room look totally clean thought so i might have catched them just in time from getting them in all plants

 

oh well atleast i wont loose the 4 slex plants, i hope i can control them few more weeks to get that cbd plant cut also but im not sure what i will do with the 5th slex now, will see in few days how bad the situation is

Silver excellent friend, very good work and photos. Look very nice, I would do one more week to cut, but cutting is now also an excellent idea.

 

I hope you have good luck with intruders and can stop in time. As far as I can see, you'll have a good harvest!

 

Greetings! :)

 it is day 63-64 for the first 4 slexes full 9 weeks and they have ripened a lot more in past week as i suspected. yesterday evening i cut 2-3 colas from each of the 4 plants and left rest of buds to ripen few more days maybe some of them for full 10 weeks if they dont get too ripe. the 5th slex is at day 28-29 now

 

the mites have been totally under control so far(fingers crossed) and my buds are totally clean so i decided to ordered  new spider mite predator's i have not tested before i did try another species

few years ago but they did not like my climate as much as the bastards to continue breeding in the garden, these should work out in the lower humidity range i have indoors, if they work great i might even get that 5th slex done too or who knows even continue growing thru the winter

 

i cut small test buds last week and tested them few days ago oh boy even thought they were not properly finished buds yet or properly dryed at the 8weeks they were all amazing the nr1 is like a lemon/ lime mix taste like it smells, very smooth and good uplifting high

the nr2 and nr4 resemble more of the exodus cheese blend of 10 different smells put together but they have heavy citrus aroma too and taste is amazing

so far my first impressions are these might be some of the best smokes ive had along the exodus cheese and super lemon haze, excellent high and taste what else can you ask

the proper ripe and slow dryed bud must be divine if its this good even when its not done yet:D

oops, the bottom right is nr2 in first pic

I will also cross my fingers for you. If there is one thing i know about mites, that they seem to come back over and over again. Hard to kill!
Usually growers only clean the grow room and forget about the rest of the home. They sit on everything, Furr, cloth, walls you name it!
But your plants look great. I would not mind smoking any of them wink-wink

If they are that good with the small test bud i do hope you will cure them proper. it would be a shame otherwise.

What a nice bunch of excellent plants ou got there. seems you have less differences in phenotypes than i do. I had one growing fat colas in a more Indica fashion that was also completely redy after full 9 weeks - 63 days but I also got a typical HAZe pheno, that showed no signs of Indica whatsoever and that was ready after 74 days, a few days before the 11 week schedule the SLEX was announced at. I prefer this pheno. It has a much milder aroma, more lime than lemon and the high is great, Boh phenos are extremely strong esp. the frst 15 minutes can get a tad too much for a moment but then the high gets more and more enjoyable, uplifting and downright funny- typical Sativa but not that racey type. More balanced thanls to the Exodus heritage I guess. Great medicinal value, excellent slee aid- Like you said. Definitely top notch strain with a lot of potential, It looks great, brownish, yellow with lots of red hars, nice structure, covered in trichomes just asking a self respecting grower for a good cure. Even 1 week of curig made a big difference in looks, smell + taste vs a just dry bud. One of the best looking buds I ever grew (and the HAZE looks even beter)..YDo you grow more SLEX in the near future ?

full 10 weeks down, i cut rest of the big colas today

oh boy the nr1 has heavy  heavy resin coverage and amazing bud/leaf ratio and the smoke is super strong almost same as my keeper slh. the nr3 is milder and sweeter but most ripe out of them all and smallest nug size too it is almost too ripe now full of amber on it and the last weeks cut have lots of amber too after drying so i could have taken the nr3 completely down after 9 weeks im pretty sure.

the nr1 is very nice now after 10 weeks with small amounts of ambers and clears but mostly milky, the last weeks cuts have quite a bit of clear in them but they are still good and strong smoke

the nr2 and nr4 seems to have wider harvesting windows than the two thinner leafed plants 1&3, like they could continue to the 11week as they are stillp pushing new pistils but they are definetly good and heavy now and calyxes have swollen with ambers showing all around. the last weeks cuts are very nice also and strong smoke but yeah this pheno seems to have very long harvesting window to cut down

 

there is definitely 3 phenotypes i have identified in the 4 first plants bam. like i have talked about  3 phenos from the very first days of growing them, as seedlings in veg and in flower there was 3 different looking plants all the time. i have not tryed them as sleep aid at all or talked about sleep either, actually i have slept very bad lately due to lack of sun here and ive been up very late every night bam hehe so you are thinking someone else:D

 

1&3 both have thinner leaf shapes with inward turning serration edge but the buds are totally different and they smell different too, nr1 more sour lime/lemon and nr3 sweet. the nr1 resin coverage is amazing it is just like the slh phenotype i have but more lime taste and nr3 has smaller looking glands and is weaker smoke

2&4 seems to be same phenotypes with fatter leaf shape from 1&3 and the serration edge is outward turning unlike the 1&3 the differences are very clear. and they look completely different from both nr1&3  they both got berry&fruity smell mix a bit like exodus cheese but i still need to make proper smoke comparison with the nr4 if its same with nr2

 

anyways, since i dont have any reason to put new plants in flower tent at the current state i decided to leave some smaller buds on each plant and leave in tent so they are not fully done:D

mite situation has not gone any worse or better, i should get the predators tomorrow or friday so i will know better about future plants and next slex run in few weeks

I had a wrong impression . Now I see that No 2 is also a real tall plant. You just turned her sideways. That is the problem with these HAZE phenoes. They stretch too much for a usual tent if you just let them grow. I finally bent and pressed the stem under the top , so it gets flexible and stopped the shooting. 2 and 4 look best to me but they are all excellent loooking and I bet each pheno got a lot niceness to offer. Good luck with the bugs. Hope the predators gets them all. Biggest problem are the eggs. So make sure to erase all soil and sterilize the pots - or get new ones..
