thanks lama,
yea it did!
but as i said i didnt expect much from it as i thought i had been riped off!
well it seems there not what they said they are, but still not a terible strain,
deff sativa, so ill be waiting awhile for them to be ready, but should be good!

 

[swiftgt]

time for an update,

Well i thought it was time to flush my bigbud and i stoped feeding for three days,
but i noticed some extra pitsil growth so i thought i might have started the flush alittle early!
so i fed it again and ill flush maybe at the end of the week
i cheaked the trichs but there still cloudy with no real sign of amber trics,
now the pitsils are starting to change to a nice golden brown colour,
so thats a good sign!
the rh in my flower room is 35% and about 25c

The other two plants i have flowering are some type of sativa,
there comming on well, a lot better then i though they would do!
i have them tied down and getting nice bud formation,

my seedlings are comming on quite well, nice growth but i have to keep moving the pots around, so the smallest plants stay in the strongest light,
i potted 4 of my bigbud clones into soil as i want to make the best one into a mother, and ill put the others outside and see what they can do!

ill get some new pics later tonight.

 

[swiftgt]

well i thought it might be time for a much needed pic update!
all looking well today,
io had to adjust the ph in my bubbler today ph was at 8
so i got it down withabit of phosferic acid,
seedlings are comming on well enough,maybe alittle slow!
my 2sativas are still growing fast i have to train them constanly!
anyway hope you enjoy the pics:hubba:

:holysheep: that's some yummy looking bud. Nothing like smoking some home grown dank after you've been dry for a while.

 

[swiftgt]

thanks lama!
yea im looking forward to smoking it, but i think it will be a week or two before this is dry enough to smoke!

 

[swiftgt]

ok so i harvested my bigbud just there,
i needed the space and it have been flowering long enough,
the trichs where not as amber as i wanted, but what can you do!
ive dont know that weight i have as my scales only reads upto 50g and im not bothered weighting it all on that, it wouls take too long!
but i did put one average sized bud on the scales, and it read over 50g straght away!:hubba:
anyway here is some pics

Wow Swift... I guess they call it bigbud for a reason... Nice job! Looks like you won't hve to worry about having any smoke around for quite a while once it is cured...:hubba: I might hve to include bigbud in my next grow. Make sure to gve us a smoke report when it is time to smoke it... wondering how the high is since you were in the same boat as me as far as waiting for those ever elusive amber trichs... I was tempted to cut down my bonus bean gurl tonight but since I don't know the strain I will wait it out... it might be a strain that needs 12 weeks of flowering to be done...

 

[swiftgt]

thanks hamster!
yea it looks good allright, ive been growing her for a long time now nearly 11months
its kinda lame as i told a good friend a few months ago that i would be harvesting my plants, the day he would be emigrating. and wouldnt get a chance to try it, moved away today
so i told him i would keep a bit for him, maybe an ounce, but its gona be a year or two long cure, so the buds should be awesome to smoke when he comes back,
i smoked some quick dryed stuff in the bong, tasted good and the stone was good and strong, but ill be giving a full bigbud smoke report as soon as its fully dryed and cured,
ive still got two other saiva's flowering, and there starting to get intresting now, the buds are starting to form long colas not anywhere as tight as my bigbud, but just so many, ive been haveing to tie it down and train it constantly!

 

[swiftgt]

just looking at the pics i posted earlyer the one with the can of coke, and without zooming in it looks like one BIGBUD!

 

[Newbud]

great job man- i need to try bigbud sometime

 

[swiftgt]

thanks GG!
yea it has a lovely purple tint on the tops of all the buds, looks cool!
ha i had to use a saw to cut through the stem it was so tick!
yea mini tree! the smell is strong and kinda lavendery sweet,
the girlfriend was giving out about the smell, because it was so strong when i was manicuring it! (she doesnt smoke!) and it took about 1 hour 45mins to manicure and hang!
