Checkered Flag Grow

Just seen it mentioned in the NL thread. I figure by the time I’m done zapping everything from the toaster to my cats butt I’ll play with leaf offset.

I know that discussion did get me thinking more about it.

The PBBs are in a 2 week window or so. They are still drinking about a gallon each a day. The buds are very tight, better than the last run. I never know at this stage how many leaves to start taking, mine are very leafy. None show any deficiencies, so I just let them alone.

I had the NLs sex tested and 5 of the 6 were fems. I am going to grow 3 and may move them to my 4x4 in a few weeks. I can let them bush out a bit more. In the 3x3 I may just do NL clones. 2 of these are going to @fieldofdreams to raise this weekend. I then have room to put them in my auto pots. Once they start growing they are beautiful plants with their fat leaves.

My favorite racing events are the endurance series. The American version is called IMSA and the European version is called WEC. It is multi class racing meaning a race within the race. Grouped by sports cars like Porsche,lambo,Aston, vette. The other cars are hyper cars that are much quicker. In my avatar is a Porsche hyper car which just won the 24 h of Daytona on Saturday. They have to co exist on same track. It makes things very interesting when cars get impatient. These cars do the 24 hours of LeMans. I go to the 12 hour race in Sebring for the best 4 day party you can go to. If you like car porn these are the series. So many manufacturers that compete on track.

I like F1 a lot, big Verstappen fan. The Rally Racing is crazy, bravest drivers in motor sports. I watch any of it. I have a 1/2 mile dirt track an hour away. Spend a few Saturday nights watching locals. Cheap and fun.

I like the bikes too, Moto GP. They are pretty crazy. @Jaysittinback

I do like the hyper cars. Do they have any 2 to 4hr races. Always liked a Frenchman in a Ferrari lol or French Canadian.
AMA supecross is my winter viewing, GP I was a fan in the 90s, liked the chaos, see them formula-e cars coming out of a corner the onboard is awesome like zzzZZZSSS and its a blur. Tight, close quarters, elbows out and contact. Still improving

IMSA and wec races go from 2.5 hours to 24 hours. Lemans and Daytona are 24. Long Beach Ca race is a shorter race thru the streets of Long Beach. Elbows out in that race, no where to pass.

We live pretty close to MD International Raceway drag track. Next door to it is Potomac Speedways dirt track and Budds Creek dirt track for the MX Pri Nationals. What track do you go to @patrick1960 ?

Hagerstown Speedway. I think a half mile flat clay track I saw the flat track bikes race there. That was fun to watch. Harley’s took the day, that was years ago. Most weekends are late model modified stock cars. @Fieldofdreams

I will find the schedule and you can come up.

PBBs are very quick finishers. These are 7 weeks from flip. The buds filled in nicely. I will move the 3 NLs into the 4x4 when PBBs anre finished. Undecided what to grow in 3x3. I did start some NL clones, if I get 3 good ones, I can run them again. Gave the plants a topping and trimmed lower 2 nodes for cuttings.

Your PBB’s look like tight dense buds. Gonna be a sweet haul from that tent soon.

Thank you. I really like smoking it, very smooth. I kind of coddled the PBBs last grow and yield was so so. This time is much better.

It looks like new white pistils are forming so probably foxtailing. I lowered the DLI, going to let them go for a while longer, they are pretty much all cloudy.

The PBBs are ready, 8.5 weeks from flip. I will chop some time this week. That will open the 4x4 up for the NLS that will probably need the room if I wait til Mar 1 to flip.

I had 6 NL cuttings that rooted, I moved them to 1/2 gal pots and in with their moms. Looking into some type of bottom watering system for young plants, may try the auto pot tray system. I have 4 cuttings waiting to root. Anyone want a clone :joy:.

I decided to harvest today. My best quality buds so far. I am kind of glad, I gave them a second run, the first grow’s buds looked nothing like these :joy:. I rearranged my tents, NLs are in the 4x4 and NL clones in 3x3.

I kept a pile of frosty fan and sugar leaves. I am going to let this pile dry out and do a dry ice sift for hash. I thought about bubble hash, but I read on one of these threads about just doing a dry sift with dry ice in a bag and shake.
