Aberration Goes Ker Bloom! - Perpetual

[Aberration]

Very nice pics man, thanks for room construction explanations too. I think I like them even more than the bud porn. I can't wait to see what you can do with the lemons. Nice new lighter too by the way. I am sure you covered it but what is your CO2 PPM in the bloom room?

Hey, Prescription! Thanks. I keep it at 1800 ppm. That's high by normal standards.

Thanks for all the pics man I was waiting to see what the totals were. That trinity looks amazing as well as that Matanuska. I can guarantee that the Blue dream will be one of your favorite strains if you haven't tried it yet. I just took my outdoor BD down and it's exquisite smoke. Congrats!

I got:

355 g Blue Dream abt 12.5 oz)
181 g Trinity (abt 6.4 oz)

I have been growing the blue dream for a while. It is such a good plant.

I harvested MTP.1J and MTP.2A today (Matanuskan Thunderfu@k)

I placed MTP.2G and MTP.2H into bloom. They take 63 to 70 days, better at 70. They will probably be in 69 days, coming out around Nov 27th.

PPM seems to work more than fine for you. I have read that commercial growers in BC drop thier PPM real low during the last 2 weeks for potency. I am an evidence based kind of guy and have never seen any emperical data on it, but these guys are highly motivated by profit and a lot of other things that they suggest make sense. I am just curious if you have ever heard or read about this. I have never grown with CO2 enrichment but will be this next time so I have been trying to read up on it. This journal is the closest thing to peer reviewed literature dealing with cannabis cultivation that I have found. I have said it before and i mean it I really appreciate all the hard work you put into to documenting your grows.

 

[Steve McStoferson]

love the pictures, you have some really bushy plants in veg. My SLH gets like your Matty, really heavy and can't hold the weight up, it's a shame because I usually just chop them early because I'm too lazy to tie them up

I would try altering the CO2 levels at the end like that, but I'm doing perpetual in 3 slots of 2, so I rarely have the whole room synchronized. It would be interesting to see if there is a noticeable difference. I've never heard of the idea. I dunno.

Disclaimer: OK, what follows is my own speculation. I don't know if it is true, but in the model I use to understand the plants, the following has not been proven false. So I use it as truth until I learn otherwise, and it may not be correct at all. If you know that I am right or wrong, let me know. That said...

I believe a high CO2 concentration revs the engine of the plant, as long as you have the light, warmth, water and nutrients to match. A great corollary is that high CO2 enrichment can help the plants survive warmer temps better (thrive even). In this way I try t use the CO2 as a buffer. You see, I try to rev my plants' metabolisms, but I doubt I manage to rev them enough to normally use 1800 ppm, however, if my AC fails and there is no backup, the extra CO2 acts like a buffer. The plants can take a longer period of extreme heat and recover.

[/speculation]

It's worth the extra expense IMO for the extra CO2, even though I buy it by the 50lb cylinder. It's $300 to buy into a tank (I have 2), $26 to exchange an empty for a full cylinder, and in this room 1 cylinder lasts about 14-16 days on average, longer if I keep the dang door shut. I see closers in my future. Anyways, about $52 per month. High octane fuel and insurance in one. CO2 is a wonder.

love the pictures, you have some really bushy plants in veg. My SLH gets like your Matty, really heavy and can't hold the weight up, it's a shame because I usually just chop them early because I'm too lazy to tie them up

I top veg early usually, then later I clone off the top to produce a flat-ish canopy. That leads to bushy plants, for sure.

Aaaagh! Another tie-up, is it then? [grumble]

I just cut the buds off the stems from the Matanuskan harvested last Sunday. It came to 24.00 oz on the nose. That's a better than average haul from the Matty, so I'm happy. Anything over 8 oz per plant is pretty good in this size of a pot for me (9 gal).

The even-more-good news is that if I could just get my new bloom assembled I'll have 6 x 600W instead of 4 x 600W. That is bound to bulk up my buds. This run gave me about 0.28g/w, but I'm more concerned with quality buds than how much it cost to produce them.

So here are some pictures of the Matanuskan I was talking about yesterday. It's gooood.

There were ten hangers of it to de-stem. Here's the first hanger full after removing the hanger, all dry and ready to come off the stems:

Here are the other nine hangers:

Thats freakin beautiful. Smoke report?

 

[Aberration]

Thats freakin beautiful. Smoke report?

Same as always: hard hitting stone with a nice mix of body and head. Uplifting and energizing, so not before bed or I'll lay in the dark for hours thinking odd thoughts. It also does in your faculties enough that you will lose track of what you were saying or doing regularly, even after years of heavy intake. Great in the stone department, but lackluster when it comes to smell and taste. It looks good, and holds it's weight well, but it has no distinctive flavor or smell. Best mixed in a salad with something pungent for accent.

I would post a real smoke report in that section, but I honestly can't authenticate the second hand clone that was the source.

GKA.1B seems to have pulled out of it's funk, so it goes back into the rotation with todays's transplants on the next feed.

I am fogging for bugs. I hit the youngest four in bloom too. I usually use the rule that I only spray up til two weeks into bloom, but I want to be sure that they will be OK, so SLH and TDR are getting it too even though they are 17 days in. They are just starting to pop buds. I intend to hit them at 20 days on Wednesday too. MTP.2G and MTP.2H are only 7 days into bloom so they'll be good.

Hey Abe!
Great photos! That is some haul and I know you have had this strain for some time, was that your largest haul off of one?

I also noticed that you put the day of Flr like (49/70) when do you start counting days? as soon as they go into the 12/12 room or when you first see signs of flowering?

Just one more questions really... lol
I see that you mixed 2 gal of early but only gave them .75 each, what do you do with the left over?

Thanks as always!

Hey Abe!

This may very well be my largest haul for Matanuskan. I got 12oz per plant, which is closer to what I usually get from the Blue Dream. The Matanuskan usually gives about 8oz per plant, so this is a good amount for 2 plants.

I also noticed that you put the day of Flr like (49/70) when do you start counting days? as soon as they go into the 12/12 room or when you first see signs of flowering?

I just start counting from the day I put them into 12/12. It never occurred to me to count from when the blooms start when I started growing herb, and since I'm doing fine and this is easier I see no reason to change now. I'm starting to sound like an old man, aren't I?

I toss it. In the summer I toss it on the lawn. In the winter it just goes down the drain. It doesn't keep and I only mix full gallons. I mix enough recipes as it is without complicating it with fractional measurements. I would like to have other uses for it as it feels wrong throwing it out, ... but not wrong enough to make me change my ways, I guess.

Thanks for dropping in.

How are your plants, MSquared?

~ wow I hope you have clones of that one! I am sure you didn't do anything different with her, but if you did I hope you wrote it down. I mean that is a HUGE difference!

~well maybe a little lol, but that is fine, I do the same thing. I was just curious is all. I typically flower for 8 weeks (for my 7week varieties), because they don't usually start to flower for the first 7 days or so...

~Thanks for stopping by! I replied to you over in my journal, but they are doing well. I am just not sure if the outage has pushed them back a week or not yet.

I am getting ready to purchase some new beans and wanted your opion on what you would get if you get 3 new strains.

 

[Aberration]

I dunno. I'd have to get a good long run sativa, and a heavy indica, and some crazy hybrid, I guess. I'm a big fan of the GH colored seeds though.

It's so hard to figure out if you will like a plant in advance. I have a decent collection of books on the topic, like Big Buds 1, 2, 3, Cannabible 1, 2, 3, etc. I also have a number of magazines that profile strains as well. But they rarely overlap and describe the same strain from the same breeder. Without corroboration I don't trust that it will grow the same for me. Environment can be a huge factor and two clones from the same mother can produce dissimilar mature plants. I want to hear two different reviewers get similar results because it minimizes the chance that the info is subjective and implies that the plant thrives in more than one specific environment. I also take breeder descriptions with a grain of salt. I'm not a fan of online reviews for the same reason.

Cannabis Cup winners and placers are usually a good starting point.

When I bought my seeds, I chose Super Lemon Haze because it was a multiple-time winner. I chose Tangerine Dream because it was well reviewed multiple times. I chose Afghani Hindu Kush because I wanted a heavy kush (arbitrarily). I chose Qleaner because I was taking suggestions from a fellow med grower and he wanted to see me try them. I chose a GH indica Pack that included Cheese because of it's reputation. I chose the GH sativa pack because it was the only sativa mix GH had. Everything else I got came as freebies.

I'm not sure where I'm going to go from here. I have 39 seeds, but there are 19 strains represented and none bloomed yet. It'll likely take me a while to work through those. I could bloom nothing but plants from seed and they'd still last more than a year.

Actually, that sounds like fun...
