Looks Beautifuuuuuuul !
Thanks, and I can't argue with you there. I hope it turns out as well when I grow it properly.
paitence is a virtue - lol. I am sure you will find time for it all at some point. I have a request, maybe you could document the cloning tutorial for us?? Just a thought, but it would be very nice addition to this already incredible journal!
Thanks and
Sure thing. Although it may not happen tonight. It snowed last night and we got about 6". I know that's nothing to many people, but we don't have snowplows here. It sometimes will snow once for the year, in early January, maybe an inch, and it's gone before sunset. We are not generally prepared for this. 6" in March is just crazy for us. It shut the whole area down. Trees fell on power lines and we were powerless all day. Hardly anyone made it to work, and I went 2 hours late. Kinda pathetic, I know, but what can I say? So the friend may not be coming over tonight due to all that.
However, once I see it work the first time I'll definitely do a photo walk-thru and share the knowledge. I'm
all about that.
I agree^^
I've had decent success with cloning, so far, but would love to learn a better, and more efficient way. Hope all is well in your world!
I hope all is well for you as well. As you can read above, my day has been exciting, but we have heat now, so we're good to go. Luckily, the power was out when bloom was in it's night, so other than a cool "night" they have no idea anything happened.
just started reading and got to page 7, amazing pics and amazing results,
Thanks, donpaul.
Feel free to speak up. Either you'll learn from me, or I will learn from you, or it'll just be good conversation.
could i ask if their is anyone stocking the grape kool-ade seeds or is the a cross you managed to get only from clone, im trying to grow a purple plant and chose the berrybomb due to its vivid color, just wanted to grow a purple one really, any special conditions to bring out the purps and is their anywhere i can get them seeds for the purps you got, does anyone carry them, or am i out of look, you got amazing results, i never managed to read whole journal would take me weeks i think, but started at the start then skipped a load to see the results and their amazing, brilliant pics, top buds, nice mixture, would love some of them strains,
By the way, don't read all the feed reports - you'll go nuts.
The Grape Kool-Aid (GKA) is probably available, but I can't tell you what it is. I'll explain...
And for those who have read what I have said in the past about GKA, this is new news regarding it's origins. I found out what will probably be as full a story on the GKA as I'll ever get.
In a nutshell, GKA is a complete unknown. Sad but true.
I have a friend. We'll call him John. John is hanging out with a friend of his. We'll call John's friend Paul. So my friend John was at Paul's house, and they smoked some fantastic weed. It was the GKA. My friend John was so very impressed by the smell and flavor and high that he talked Paul into giving him a clone.
The problem is, Paul doesn't know what strain it is. He had a lot of clones and started a lot of seeds, and somewhere along the way, this strain's name and history was lost. It could be an elite clone-only, or it could be an easily purchased commercial seed. Paul has no idea. Paul just grows it because it's good.
So my friend John can't leave it with no name. Having smelled the whiffs and hints of grape Kool-Aid powder, John christens it Grape Kool-Aid. He grows it and clones it and gives a clone to me. "It's Grape Kool-Aid" he says, "Grow it. It's fantastic."
Now I'm already heavy with too many strains, as you likely know. When he gave it to me, I was trying to reduce the number of strains I had (I'm still trying to do that now, actually). But he was insistent about it so I gave in. I tried to learn more about it by Googling "Grape Kool-Aid" and completely struck out. Nothing, even with more terms. After I had bloomed, harvested and dried it, John finally told me the history I just relayed to you.
So the answer is: Paul was the source and has no idea what it is, and John named it based on some nugs he smoked that Paul grew. Once again, I have a great strain with no useful name.
It has been suggested it may be a Blueberry derivative. Having never grown Blueberry or any derivatives I have no idea. However,
it sure is good weed.
And neither George nor Ringo every showed up. Shame really.
