cheers!

The plants were fairly large. I tie mine down and develop them into huge bushes. I will post more full plant pics later tonight.

several years ago when overgrow was going strong I was lucky enough to receive some free seeds from a member who produced a large seed crop to share with the community. He/she let several high-quality strain males and females have at it with each other to produce thousands of seeds which were then distributed for free. I grew mine out and crossed a few to save the genetics. I do this every summer to a few branches to get a couple hundred seeds.
I wrote down the original strains from the seed project. The possibilities were:
Females:
MightyMite x Peak19/AK47
Grapefruit x Shiskaberry from Chimera seeds
C-99 f2
White Russian
Males:
Black Goo from Bluegrass seeds
BlackMamba x BlueMystic/K2
Sweetooth #3 x KillerQueen
Schnazzleberry
Leaf - Leaf's outdoor special
There was no way to tell what anyone was receiving as seeds could potentially be crosses between any of the males and females.
As far as tying the plants down, it is a technique to open up the inner branches to greater amounts of light. This increase growth rates and causes the plant to branch out much more, growing into a bush instead of a single tall stem in the christmas-tree fashion.

there are three female plants in this series, i've selected only a few dates from the summer and a couple of shots from each date so i'm pretty sure i don't have sequential pics of each plant.
i had to reduce the sizes of these pics dramatically to upload 30 at once so if there's any shot you would like to see in greater detail let me know and i will load the full size one in 24 hours
here they are with dates
April 21 i make these thorn fences to keep out rabbits if i notice lots of rabbit poop around
May 19
June 7
July 7
July 25
Aug 10 i tie down my plants to branch them out, this is one single plant with three main colas
Aug 26
Sept 4 at this point i had to cut come back due to mold issues
Sept 19 It was this day that I harvested everything I could. Mold problems were persistent but the plants were within days of finishing anyways. As I posted in this thread I leave the main stem and several nodes while removing the major buds, including the top and main branches. Because my plants finish so early, they have at least an additional month to grow and "re-flower." I come back in a month to find my freebie cold-colored goodies...
Oct 13 all the previous pics were taken on this freebie day
and finally another picture with "the bug" since he's so popular

yield? I have no idea, being four years ago and all. I know it was at least a few OZs, but I don't think I ever weighed it out. I gave most away and still had plenty to last me a long time.

i also usually do a seed harvest on one or more branches to be ready for the next year
