Hey there Doc - good luck on the search with your buddy... we take our buddy when we go wildcrafting.... try and stay in front of him if ya can!
My wife does all this crazy herbal stuff... I watch and learn, then grow it for her! We grow nettles around our first floor windows... just in case there's some trolls hanging around looking for trouble. There's always trolls, just have to stay a few steps ahead of em. Walking in nettles with shorts is gonna hurt a fair amount! I can imagine someone standing in our nettle patch in the dark.... I bet they think they just got attacked by fire ants! hahaha
Anywho... gonna do a little pictorial update:
First up - Chemdawg getting purple.. first run of this - so far so friggin good, eh? Natural light camera flash after lights out.
This was yesterday - several nights with temps down to 60F in the flower room
4 days ago VVV before purps!!
Chemdawg again a few days ago before purps.... she's getting purple edged leaves all over now.
Ok moving on...
Krystalica my go to meds 4 my stash
This is Krystalica from seed from 2 runs ago...
Again from my own seeds - the seeds came from one bud about 3-4 runs ago....
Krystalica again another one
Krystalica # 4
Purple Pineberry that never got purple the last run - clone ... she's a pretty big plant and taking forever to flower (Chemdawg did that).
Krystalica - Rad Girls twin sister ... she went 80 days in VEG - at flip she had flowers in 1 day and I think she's only been in flower 50ish days and looking close to being done.
BBD - Blackberry Dream... changing shape .... she's a shape shifter. Getting mature and a few of her large fans are yellowing a bit.
Crappy pic of BBD - she's starting to stink up the place... that skunky smell seems to come and go depending on what I put in water.
This past week was 2 IPM foilers, the usual with some coconut water and aloe added. Watering I did a malted corn tea (non-GMO organic), no bubble just ground to a fine powder and water in with some Epsom Salts about 1 tbs to 5 gal RO water and some coconut water. The malted tea weather its corn or barley triggers the flowers to pop some more and usually a lot more pistols. I'm trying to get that Pineberry to flower so encouraging her with some coconut water/EM-1/malted corn. It's working on all the other ladies!
Group shot of the flower room. The Krystalica are the shorter plants far along in flower - they don't take up a lot of room; This pic shows the size sorta... in relation to each other. My lighting is set up so I don't need to worry about how large the plants get (to a point) and let them all grow natural, trying to keep the shorter plants in the middle front so I can water more easily.
Large lady on the right is Chemdawg
to the back left of Chemdawg is BBD
the big one there in middle is the Pineberry;
there's an LSD-25 we cant see here; down low say high!
way in the back left and right are 2 Mandala Far Out plants just getting into flower.
The shorter plants with the biggest buds are Krystalica. There are 4 we can only see 2 here.
I ran some of the Far Out last run and its got a nice stony buzz, head high energy with a nice easy relaxation thing on the back side, very good and strong med with a relaxing deal after a few hours. It's a 50/50 hybrid and grows and tastes a lot like Krystalica but plants are larger. I've been testing a few of the other Mandala strains... branching out I am!
