British Green's 1st 420 Grow Journal

Yep, I had to spend another couple bucks to get good freebies so that was the cheap seed I added. Glad I did, cause I've been wanting a widow strain since I smoked it in Seattle years ago

 

[KingJohnC]

I have not grown KC Brains.

 

[PeytonManning]

I have not grown KC Brains.

Damn. Thought it was you, but guess not. I'll have to dig around and figure that one out.

I'm purchasing some more, of my favourite WW cross soon. Blue Venom by G13, Blue berry x WW. Both were cup winners it gives awesome quantity of awesome quality smoke! !

 

[skunnymonster]

G13 have some great genetics so I bet it's a cracker

 

[Light Addict]

Skunny it was that strain tha gave me my first POTM win and the reason I stuck around! Gave me over 15oz dry

 

[british green]

I've smoked that blue venom and it was a very nice smoke . I knew the kid that grew it and he also said that it gave a good yield . Might have to put it on my shopping list . I would really like to do four different nice strains like a dream team of plants

 

[Light Addict]

Its properly nice gear and a plant that in my opinion is perfect for my fluxing. She was a absolute stunner and will be the plant I try to set a solo girl under LED record with! I'd post a pic if anyone is interested and you don't mind British green!

 

[skunnymonster]

15oz is insane with a 400w HPS man I've put it on my shopping list, at £6 a seed it's a no brainer

 

[Light Addict]

Yeah its such an overlooked strain its ridiculous lol. I did use my time manipulation on that plant!

 

[skunnymonster]

I just looked it up
G13 Labs Blue Venom: Once you get bitten there is no antidote, Blue Venom is a cup winning Blueberry crossed and another cup winning White Widow to create a potent, compact, great tasting, great yielding Super Indica. This is a must have for any connoisseur or who appreciates quality.
Sex: Feminized
Type: Indica & Sativa
Flowering: Photoperiod
Height: Medium
Area: Indoor & Outdoor
Genetics: Blueberry, White Widow

It's defo on my shopping list I'm looking for 6 to 8 strains as keepers & getting a perpetual grow & re-cycle the same strains. Which brings me to a question. I'm thinking of starting from seed, grow pant, clone plant, flower plant. Clone gets grown, clones taken & grown clone flowered & repeat this cycle. Now I've never done this but will the clones still stay as good as the original plant forever or will they deteriorate at some point? Is keeping a mother a better option?

What the hell is time manipulation? Have you got a flux capacitor?

 

[Light Addict]

Lol ok I'm kind of new to cloning myself but there are people with 20+ generation clones that say all is good. I think as long as the original genetics are good you would be fine!

Another one for your list is Tutt, my plant of the year and Cajuns entry in POTM at mo! check the rite up on that one.

Time manipulation is what you asked about with the21.36 hrs light 12 dark for a fortnight during peak budding.

 

[skunnymonster]

Cheers for that, I'll give it a go & see how it works out.

I'll take a look at your tutt style, I need quick veg techniques until I get into the flow with my grow. Once I'm on it, I can start another flux

Ah right, I'm with ya. It scares me doing any messing with light schedules. Knowing my luck I'd have them all hermie on me

 

[british green]

This all sounds very interesting now . Come on la show us the goods pal . Fifteen dry from one plant . In the past I had to grow ten plants to get anywhere near that . And what is this strange light schedule you are on about . Think I've been bitten . Got blue stuff running through my vanes .

 

[skunnymonster]

As LA said, it's running 21.36 hrs light then 12 dark. You do it for a fortnight during peak budding & as LA once explained, the 36 minutes allows you to return to your normal lighting routine after the 2wk cycle.
I've seen someone post recently that they had a timer issue in flower which went un-noticed until the plant started going into veg. They then flicked back to 12/12 & got more than double their usual yield. So with these two examples, light cycle manipulation does increase yields if you're brave enough
SmokerJoe is doing a 42 on 6 off veg cycle at the mo, which might interest you, here's a link

[Light Addict]

OK
First shots are just about half way through the flowering period!

 

[skunnymonster]

How dare you post pictures of that pathetic scruffy mess of a plant on here

 

[british green]

Yes how very dare you la . It looks like some sort of prehistoric plant that lived with the dinosaurs . I bet t rex would have blazed a big one up . That thing is amazing dude . Hats off to la and his monster plant .

 

[british green]

Whilst on site today and hanging about near the skip . I'm a skip rat when it comes to building sites because it amazes me at what they throw away . I've had palettes of bricks kitchen worktops sinks pipe work boxes of screws and all sorts of stuff . If I can get something for free I'm there . Anyway today this guy came along and threw a led lamp in the skip . So straight away I'm in the skip getting the lamp . So my question is not knowing what make of the lamp or what leds are in it or what watt they are . How would I now if it's any good . I mean this thing is bright and I mean hurting eyes if ya look at it bright . It looks red and blue to me but I'm colour blind so it could be green and purple. So I've took a few shots of the lamp . And a few of the baby's I'm not holding much hope for one of them now . But never mind I'll set a few more off tomorrow .

 

[skunnymonster]

That's a curious looking find. The LED's are blue & red but split 50/50 so it's not ideal for a grow light but it's bound to have some effect. Just plug it in & use it
