Kind of wondering WTF some of the herbs turned out like? I know they haven't cured yet''' but you should have one or two dry enough to tell whats what.... Hopefully they work as good as they look..... Keepem Green

The first Old stock SSSDH Reg is female, and a total beast. I had to top her, then put the light right on her, some LST, pinching etc and she's still going to need to be flipped before 6 weeks. I'm in late Veg, so I might as well start a new journal and post them up. Sending invites around the First.

Wishing you the very best New Year my friend.

Happy New Year

"Chasing my tail" lately....good to be back. A Christmas harvest & a new group in bloom. Very slow drying due to cool days & cold nights but some bud pics & strain info coming up soon.

DinaChem at harvest time

New Girls in Flower
Boss Hogg A Chem 4. I picked her to photograph because she shows the plant shape & structure I try to achieve. Once in awhile they listen to me. Just a smaller version of my target outdoor plant shape....no topping to preserve top cola, high lateral/node count, try to bring laterals as high & even as possible. This BH is 2 wks into flower. A plump shorty for a Chem w/ 15 nodes/sets of laterals...only 20" tall so far.

The new lineup.....
Cali Connection Boss Hogg (Chem 4)
Cali Connection LA Affie (pure indica mom of LA Confidential)
Connoisseur ECSDH (ECSD x SSSDH)
DinaFem Purple Afghan Kush
In House Genetics Gorilla Dosha (GG4 x DoSiDo)
Paradise Sensi Star
Pisces Cookie Tang (Forum GSC x Sour Tangie)

Hey there BL - those plants look fantastic.... love the look of that "test" bud there... that looks yummy. I swear I could almost smell it thru my computer screen.

Good job buddy!

A complete surprise....that she even lived to deliver some pretty buds of a strain that has a very likable effect. Definitely more info & pics later on this nice strain.

looking ripe there old bud

im glad that i had sometime to kill so i can visit your crib

i always get good vibes off your garden my friend, excellent job as always

Good to see you 420 brother....aka the 420 Phantom. Don't disappear again my friend.

Now that's pretty.... Fantastic job there my friend............. Looks like some tasty shit. I like the looks of the Dead Banana and the Headband. Great grow,,, Keepem Green

Hopefully you took a main cola down early,,,, just to be sure you had plenty of dry weed to smoke for the holidays.... You couldn't have timed it better. Looks like you got some frosty shit for Christmas... Congrats,,,, and Keepem Green

The DB isn't what I thought Deathstar would be like. Sour Diesel & Sensi Star I think I should know pretty well but Deathstar doesn't really resemble either that much. But I really need to try her more. Strong stoned indica effect. Headband is yet another keeper Chemdog. Loud snuck up & won a SF Cannabis Cup with this strain as an unknown over some high level big names.

Nice BL!! I remember BID taking BITE out of one that was loaded with resin...not good, said it tasted a lot worse than it smelled. Merry Christmas

Good to see you Hoz old friend!

A very good morning to ya Bright. I know ,...i know...i don't make it around here often enough ...i know bud. Anyhow you are doing a wonderful job and are having great success...cheers to ya my brotha! have a fantastic Christmas and a nice break with your people. Wishing you the best....

Thanks duggan. Great to see you when you do swing by. I know you're busy as heck in your garden & w/ your 2 boys.

Ok confirms my outdoor grows w/ older SSSDH regulars. Tall, rangy, willowy sativa leaners. Fems probably bred for indoor sizing. Yeah the better we get the shorter the veg.

OG Raskal strains = FIRE. He must be on another long sabbatical because his seeds are no wheres to be found. You will enjoy them.

Morning Brightlight!! Everythings looking wonderful!!! My laundry grow is awesome, my clones are growing great. My lil Raskal is reaching and I popped two Chem Dogs in a day so Ive got my next tent run going already!!! Im excited. Ive been trimming/jarring some on my tent harvest and its wonderful!!!! Im seeing why you say I will be able to grow better than the top shelf one day. The same strain were in the yard grow and the difference is indoor smells better, looks better, taste better and theyre nugging up more as they cure. The ones being jarred next are very fruity. Kinda like juicy fruit gum.
Just stopping to say Morning and thank you for your help!!
Namaste

It's always a pleasure to see & hear from you all! And thanks very much for your kind compliments that are appreciated. Well after laying off last summer, it was a real treat to harvest & vape some fresh herb.

Some new stuff & some changes along the way.....switching to RO midway was a big event. Mostly great but then w/ 400 ppm less a lot more food space freed up going into plant. So my carefully crafted soil mix became a little rich w/ RO. Lol. Learned that my dairy cow compost that's only 0.25-0.15-0.25 lasts for a very long time. Even at low #'s, a little too much N too late for my liking. Though I've read where cookies & some kushes like to stay green all the way to the end. Part of the fun is I guess it's all just a big educated guessing game. Handclaps for the insect frass....Amen to chitin. Fungus gnat reduction, nice slow periodic organic feed at 2-2-2.

I also liked the return to using some % of peat to mix. This time it was ~65-35% coco/peat. Aeration w/ perlite to ~20% of total vol. Oh yeah...I happily found some rice hulls to use w/ perlite starting w/ seeds just planted. Had some before but not so easy to find locally. Started adding my high phos. bat & seabird guano into mix at outset to allow time for it to get ready. I'm starting to think adding midway or at flower is too late for the dry stuff. Maybe by then liquids & tea versions probably better utilized. Moved to a new enzyme product. SLF-100. Expensive but it does some work. Besides root zone cleanup, some amazing bacteria in there doing some other good work as well. Also added another couple of microbe products to the arsenal. Never too much magic!

A good grow....challenged me in a good way, learned lots of stuff, got into some of the modern exotics, & delivered some decent herb. I gave them lots of love & they returned it. For this run I'm a happy & contented grower.

The DoSiDo Girls
Double Purple Doja x DoSiDo & Gelato 41 x DoSiDo

2 DoSiDo crosses by In House Genetics using Archive Seeds DoSiDo. DSD is the OGKB cookie cut in seed form. I've also tried the straight DoSiDo & liked it more than any other cookies or cookie crosses that I've tried. I consider myself lucky to have gotten these 2 strains as freebies. The Gelato 41 cross is now released as Do-Lato. Unfortunately, the DPD cross was never released. I was able to find a similar cross w/ Buckeye Purple, which has DPD in it. A seed of that has just been planted.

Double Purple Doja is a TGA strain. DPD has some ultra high end (imo anyway) sativa in her. Not seen as much anymore. Remember the Apollo 11 & 13? Genius pheno & Princess? These are in DPD. The color is the most notable thing. But if you like sativa, anything w/ DPD will provide color & an excellent inspiring euphoric sativa effect. Smooth & fun. Not edgy/racy. The indica side is very present but very complementary.

Not harsh at all for a deep colored bud. In fact very smooth & mild. Hints of berries, tobacco, coffee, musk. Nice overall taste. Early sample at 53 days was even better to me. Listed at 8-9 wks. Buds looked ready at 45 days. Not kidding. Even w/ 53 day sample barely 50-50% trichomes. Took it to 66 days since a new strain. Even then only ~65%. I'd say 60 days at most next time.

DPD x DSD bud pics at harvest time & dried. Recent wet & cold weather made for very, slow drying.

Gelato 41 is one the Cookie Fam strains. Thin Mint GSC x Pink Panties = Sunset Sherbet. Then Sunset Sherbet x GSC = Gelato 41. Still very hot out west. Hard Hitter. Very Hard Hitter. Short period of upbeat euphoria that soon gets overpowered by the sheer blunt force of this indica dominant slugger. Not really my favorite effect, but always nice to have some heavy artillery around. This is the kind of effect that is very popular nowadays, however, so I can see why it's so preferred.

This strain really smells dank in flower. I mean it is strong, & it stays even after cut. A real nice one in that regard. Taste & smell has lots of OG pine cleaner, fuel, & gassy mixed in w/ spice & floral. Overall a winner there. This plant gave me a few bottom bud seeds. I know cookies are known to be hermers. So the slightest amount of stress can trigger it. Funny thing....1st little sample bud I clipped had several seeds. I was like Sh*t! But overall no problem just a few. Just happened to pick the wrong bud. I think with a lot of these modern elite cuts, the stability just isn't there yet. For that matter it could very well be my own doing. Those bottom vents in tents can pose a problem so best to stay out of my gr. all together during dark period.

Gelato 41 x DoSiDo buds at harvest & dried.

I'd recommend the DoSiDo girls without qualification. IHG is one amazing breeder. All the crap about herms & pollen chucking are being dispelled with grow results popping up. Go for it if any interest. Don't think you'll be disappointed.
