How about this one, @longball? Heavy duty with lots of rubber padding. Helps me sleep a bit better at night, now!
The bottom branch in the above photo, along with all other bottom branches on No.4, were pollinated.
This last shot is a typical No.4 bud. It is at least a full 2 weeks behind No.3 & No.5, imo.
Cheers! - FF

Yes, best stuff in the world for plants lol I make a very loose loop around the plant, very loose. It's wire so it won't go anywhere and the foam won't bite into the plant. Very easy to adjust. At the end of the year I remove them, straighten them out, use again next year. I haven't touched this original roll in 2-3 years. Been using the same pieces for years now. Have many assorted sizes now, keep in a box. Rope, bungee cords, etc wear out in a season, this keeps going and going.

One of my recent updates was mis-dated as 10/15/24; when in reality it was only the 14th. These photos of No.3 were taken today, 2 days after, late afternoon on the eve of the full moon. No.4 is visible in the background of the first few photos, providing a decent contrast to No.3.

Greetings to All the MNS Aficionados tracking this grow!
Having given this matter some extended thought, as required, and some close examination of the triches, under my scope, it seems appropriate to harvest No.3 on October 25th.
One of her lower branches was pollinated, a little late in hindsight because I didn't anticipate harvesting her that early. I expected her to go at least until the end of the first week of November; but I don't see that in her triches, unfortunately. It's highly unlikely her seeds will be ready by 10/25, but at least I have a copy of her and can try again, next time.
No.5 will be harvested on 10/31, due solely to her seeds. Otherwise, I'd take her in on the 25th as well. Most likely two others will be harvested on 11/8, one week prior to the November full moon; and the final one on 11/23, weather permitting. I'll make that call on the 8th.

Looks like some good smoke @Freedom_Fighter you can leave the seeded branch on the plant and let mature and harvest the rest, would be a shame to waste all your hard workGreetings to All the MNS Aficionados tracking this grow!

Thanks eazynz! That's a great idea. Thanks for suggesting it. Cheers! - FF

Indeed, mu! Great genetics with huge breeding potential, in my amateur opinion. In my dreams I would love to cross the male version of Female #4, to this No.3 pheno.
That track has huge potential, imo, for the hobby breeder. Certainly worth a 50 seed sift, imo, for that special male to mate with her.
The dream lives within me, that's for sure; but I also dream about growing Nevil's Haze, NL5 Haze & SSH, so let's see where it leads. I would love to do a 50 seed sift of NH for that special male to mate with this No.3 G13 Haze pheno
Many thanks to Shantibaba for keeping these fine heirloom genetics alive. I dream of growing many more of them. Every cultivator should cultivate a dream of "must grow" strains.

Congratualations Freedom_Fighter, that is an excellent looking plant!
I've done many similar outdoor grows like yours before in probably better conditions and I know the struggles and challenges very well.
When I first saw your post I knew that it would be a great challenge for you to bring this variety home but you have proven that with excellent care and a supreme medium it is possible.
Plant's health is key to fight off pathogens, you showed this perfectly here.
Good luck with the rest and how did your #3 smelled?

Hey Swifty, many thanks for your kind words, brother. I really appreciate that!
I was surprised by the colour change in No.3 & No.5. Definitely was not expecting that. No such change has occurred in the others, despite our recent string of cold nights, over the past week. On a few nights it dropped down to 3°C (37.4°F).
The temperature outside, here, currently sits at 18°C (64.4°F) and will reach a low of 6°C tonight (42.8°F); but tomorrow it will reach 21°C (69.8°F) and then drop to 11°C (51.8°F). On Monday it'll reach 23°C (73.4°F) and 10°C (50°F) at night. On Tuesday it will reach 22°C (71.6°F) and then drop to just 13°C (55.4°F) at night. After that, it cools down again for the remainder of the week.
The No.3 girl seems to get more purple with each passing day. The No.5 as well, but not as deep as No.3. The terp profile of them both is the same to me, but it defies my ability to describe it, at the moment.
Their smell isn't that strong at the moment, which is odd to me. None of the 5 have a strong odor to them, for that matter, which is a little odd to me; but to be expected, I suppose, from an IBL. The F1 generation will smell much stronger than the IBL; but based on the way they smelled just last month, I would not have expected the odor to be as toned down as it currently seems to be.
Maybe that could have something to do with the recent cool temps here. The microbes (beneficial bacteria) will go dormant, below a certain temp, which could potentially impact terp expression. Maybe this Monday, when it reaches 23°C again, the revived microbial activity may cause them to smell more.
In the meantime, I'll keep trying to dial it in better, in terms my ability to describe the profile better. There is definitely 2 different terp profiles, that's for sure; currently mild, or subtle in expression. Definitely not a "heat score".
Cheers! - FF

Many thanks for that, Apollo! I really appreciate that, brother! A very well made cross, indeed!

Warm greetings to All MNS Aficionados!
Today it reached a high of 20°C and will drop to a low of 12°C tonight. Finally figured out how to take triche photos with my new budget scope. I had to link it to my laptop and use the Windows Camera.
I've been using a Windows System for 30 years and today was the very first time I ever opened and used the Windows Camera. Go figure. One more embarrassing true life confession.
That's just between us, though! 30 years! That's damn embarrassing, however one looks at it. Wouldn't want that out there, getting around to too many growers! 
Anyway, growmies, the shots below were taken from 2 of these 3 tiny buds, taken from a bottom branch on No.3. The partially dried third bud was scoped a few days back, and all 3 tell the same story, imo, that she's ripe for the picking:
They aren't the greatest shots, but certainly a good start for this new budget scope. Now that I've practiced on a few small samples, I can take a larger one from higher up.
In terms of a cultivation "plan" for the coming year, if my life situation and circumstances permit it, I will attempt to germinate 25 year old Original Killer Queen seeds, from Vic High, which I scored on cBay, back in 2002.
They were kept in a vacuum sealed package, in a fridge for 10 years, then transferred to a deep freezer. I've been holding on to them until I got into tissue culture but that time has managed to evade me. If any of it germinates, I will make seed from it, of course, and select a male to cross with with No.3 & No.5.
If I manage to pull that off, I will grow that cross outside, next summer: G13 Haze × Killer Queen.
Cheers! - FF

That sounds like an epic cross Freedom_Fighter.
I grew Motarebels Killer Queen F2's a long time ago, a nice strain!
Thanks, Swifty! The vision of the potential cross between G13 Haze & Original KQ really appeals to my creative mind. Hopefully it works out. If it doesn't, we'll, I'm considering the Purple Satellite, by Green Mountain, as a potential Plan B. I have 30 reg seeds of that in my "treasure" vault.
No.3 Update: Photos taken today.
Purple Power! Too bad I don't have a real camera to do her justice.

Thanks, quinxstar! Much appreciated. Sure glad I didn't give up on her, after she was flattened out pretty good by a storm. She's a "keeper" and well worth the extra work it took me to get her this far. I'm really looking forward to the finished product, as one can well imagine.
Cheers! - FF
