Hope you’re feeling better Jersey. CL🍀
Thanks Clover, coffee is going down fine
Forgot to ask why are you in love with that tent? What part of the Garden State are you from? Can I borrow your socks we’re supposed to be getting 8-10” of snow ⛄️ today. TTYL CL🍀
I have plenty of socks, I'll teleport them. No snow for us just ridiculous weather. Stay warm friend!
Quiet time is the best time, I love it. Only problem is it goes so fast.
Isn't that the absolute truth, though!
Hope you feel better. Ladies look lovely.
I appreciate that, thanks Gid!!!
 
Highya Krissi,

Spicoli is Gorgeous! Sirius Black is Gorgeous (a darker different green), ZDF's are Gorgeous! Yes, your whole tent is Gorgeous!! Amazing colors and trichomes. Very inspiring!!
Did you remember to study or just to get the books home?
I always had A's and B's in school. Usually had homework done in studyhalls. Never lost a book. I can't describe it. Just forgetful.
I'll make you my retirement list and maybe even draw you a pic of what I want my property to look like. Maybe later today if I have time!
I did a retirement plan about 25 years ago. Nothing like what I planned! But I like to have a plan anyways! And I would like to see your plan if it's not too much trouble.
Fed these girls, did the dishes, picked up the living room toys (TK had fallen asleep on the couch early I guess) and I folded the clothes I had in the dryer still and decided to do this update while I had that quiet time!
Oh, Sweetie, you need some love! So sad you do all these things at this time of day, avoiding your significant other. I wish he was a husband to you!!
Also remarkable for arthritis pain
I don't have much arthritis pain yet. I think it's the level of cannabis "medication"! I'm just thankful I can still do wood, and garden at this age!!
Trying to at least!
I'm surprised you are doing as well as your are!! And pleased!
Wish you could all come smell, have fun and frolick!!
Ah, that's a fun place to envision! I'd like nothing more than that! Frolick with your ladies! Yeah!

Anyways, I'll sign off here and see what a new day brings. Hope you have a great day!! Happy Smokin'

He at least gave the baby a bath and got him to bed for me so I could lay down. I was just glad I woke up cause I had a lot of stuff to do still....
I don't have much arthritis pain yet. I think it's the level of cannabis "medication"! I'm just thankful I can still do wood, and garden at this age!!

Have an awesome night Bode, I'm about to hit the grocery store to get stuff to make for Christmas. I told his Aunt I'd bring 3 different stuffed Phyllis cups and roasted rosemary parmesan potatoes. Plus we need some odds and ends. The entire store was out of chicken last week like how does that happen?
 
Hi Krissi, do have one droughting question that I haven't come across after 62 pages. Does week 7 start the day you flip the lights to 12/12 or does it start when the pistils start showing? I just passed 5 weeks into my flip and want to make sure I hit the correct window. Apologies for the off topic question.
No worries at all!!! IDC what you ask me here especially droughting! It's from pistils, so when we would designate week 7 of flower. I honestly go towards week 8 usually and have fantastic results. Autos are a different story, if you grow those, I wait til like that very last week sometimes because they do things super fast and the study was done only on photoperiods.

My Load of Bull journal is documenting my Blueberry Autoflower right now in drought, well finishing drought. And she's on the droughting thread, too.

Thanks for the quick response. It makes a difference as my notes tell me pistils started showing 9 days after the flip in the midst of her stretch. Have a great night, only 8pm here on the west coast.

No problem, glad I was on here to give one! That's usually when mine start too, 7-10 days is my norm, then I start counting!
 
So today is DAY 82, DAY 25 FLOWER!



Our focal plant of the day is our Kannabia Gelato-K via @CannaPot.



Although not yet a colorful gal, she will be late in flower.

She may not be as eye catchingly glorious at this stage as the others, but dont let her smaller size, thin leaves and white pistils fool you.



Come end of flower, this is a plant that can compete with the best of them in terms of bud production and aroma. Her purple pulls through towards the very end, showing her Bubba Kush heritage.



She is a Sativa dominant mix of Gelato and Bubba Kush

GELATO is
known for:

Being a slightly indica dominant hybrid (55% indica/45% sativa) strain created through a cross of the infamous Sunset Sherbet X Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies strains. This dank bud is infamous for its insanely delicious flavor and hugely powerful effects that are fueled by a THC level that hits its low point at 20% on average.




Gelato has a flavor that's said to be much like a sweet sherbet, with fruity blueberry and orange flavors. The aroma is just as sickly sweet, with a lavender citrus berry bouquet that has a woody effect as the nugs are broken apart and smoked. Although it has a tasty flavor, Gelato is definitely best loved for its effects.




Even with its slight indica dominance, the high is head heavy in nature and won't leave you sedated or couch-locked. It starts with a cerebral head rush that hits you in the forehead with an uplifted euphoria and a sense of slightly focused energy. As this head high blissfully builds, a creeping body buzz will slowly wash over you, leaving you completely relaxed and calm with a sense of peace and well being. These powerful and surprisingly well balanced effects make




Gelato the perfect choice for patients suffering from muscle spasms, chronic pain, inflammation, chronic fatigue, and headaches or migraines. Gelato buds have large and lumpy super dense grape-shaped dark forest green nugs with rich purple and orange hairs and a super sticky coating of visible resin droplets.




BUBBA KUSH IS KNOWN FOR:

Being an indica dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) with unknown parentage, although it is thought to be an Afghani X OG Kush cross. A favorite of breeders and patients alike, Bubba Kush packs a head-spinning high that will leave you flying for hours and hours on end. It starts with a subtle boost of the spirits, filling your mind with a happiness that leaves you with no room for negative or racing thoughts.




This heady happiness will have you feeling unfocused and slightly sleepy sometimes. A soothing body high accompanies this cerebral lift, filling you with a sense of calm that has you kicked back and pain-free for hours on end. With these effects and its high 14-25% average THC level, Bubba Kush is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as mood swings or depression, cramps or muscle spasms, chronic stress and chronic pain.




This bud has a slightly sweet and hashy flowery coffee flavor with touches of rich spicy chocolate. The aroma is of earthy hash and mocha coffee with touches of spicy flowers to it, too. Bubba Kush buds have oversized and airy heart-shaped dark olive green nugs with long thin bright orange hairs and a coating of tiny white crystal trichomes dripping with sweet sticky resin.

Now together these two mesh for something different:

These two super strains meshed from the American breeding community to Europe make for a sativa leaning hybrid with subtle Kush notes. Gelato-K overpowers with a summery lemon sorbet flavor whose sole purpose is to send us into absolute euphoria with its powerful THC content.




Happiness and a feeling of total fulfillment is what this wonderful strain gives us. The Gelato-K strain forms beautiful and dense buds that are full of resin, a real eye-catcher, especially at the end of the flowering phase, when purple tones often mingle with the green ones.

This sativa leaning hybrid has inherited the best characteristics of its parents and, in many aspects, surpasses them, giving rise to a plant with an intense sweet citrus flavour, like a deliciously refreshing lemon sorbet. The effect is incredibly powerful, triggering high levels of euphoria, elation and happiness.




Happy Grow Friday and Happy Holidays my friends!


 
Highya Krissi,

Your Gelato looks gorgeous! Laden with so many trichomes! Very nice picture compilation! May I suggest reviewing trichome pics before posting? Sorry to say, Some shots had very few trichomes (looked like they got knocked off). And some looked very nice!
I can't imagine how you broke her stem. Something like an elaborate setup gone awry? I'm guessing you'll work on that, too! Very nice grow, Krissi! Happy Smokin'

P.S. Couldn't sleep? Are you alright?

I purposefully tried to get some individual shots of trichomes rather than the bulk mass photos of grouped trichomes. My goal was to accentuate the trichome itself and its morphology come drought time. Nothing was knocked off, some are even sideways some even twinned and burst. Like this twin-headed stalk




with busted trichome head resin all over the left side




One I showed off the elongation of the stalks as you can see in these two super long trichomes




Guess if you arent on my droughting feed you wouldnt know what to look for when you saw them on my Bull journal. Now you now! My fault!
Very nice grow, Krissi! Happy Smokin'
Thank you, Happy Smoking today!
P.S. Couldn't sleep? Are you alright?
Not much last night, I'm OK Bode, don't worry!
 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FRIENDS THAT BECAME FAMILY!!! 🎄🎄🍄🍄🌱🪴:green_heart::peace::love:


Wishing every single one of you the most relaxing and fulfilling and heart warming holiday possible! You guys give me so much to strive for and provide me with all the positive energies I could ever need! :thanks::Namaste:

Today is Day 84, Day 26 FLOWER
(Disregard the day 83 on my photos, oops) (#teamnosleep)




I've went ahead and ordered myself some more soil amendments as I was out and needed some more for their final topping in about 2 weeks. I still have bat guano and Epsom salt so just these two were necessary:



In light of the fact we have come full circle in our PLANT OF THE DAYS, we are now back around to  SPICOLI. She as you all should recall by now, I don't know about my friend @Bode, though with his forgetful memory- Thank God he's a smart cookie, (Just kidding Bode, Merry Christmas!!) is an i49 seeds GORILLA GLUE SUPER LEMON HAZE.

This mix of Gorilla Glue #4 and Super Lemon Haze is one for the record books!
Please, please, please run this strain at least once in your grow life.

Suits both the medicinal needs of the Indica and Sativa smoker and grows up one in the same. Fat leaved and budded Indica roots coupled with tall, spindly Sativa like structures; this plant is incredibly royal to grow.

Since we have talked about GGSLH, let's break down the parents some for you but before we do, a look back at Gigi, my 1st and the predecessor to this Gorilla Glue Super Lemon Haze in Spicoli.

Ooooooooo memories.......


Oooooooo but living in the moment is so nice too....






NOW IT'S.....
....Onto the breakdown......






GORILLA GLUE #4:

The sativa-dominant hybrid GG#4 was created by accident under the care of GG strains when an accidental pollination occurred. Its genetics stem from multiple strains, including Sour Diesel, Sour Dubb, Chem’s Sister, and Chocolate Diesel.

GG#4, got its name from the sticky trichomes that collect on scissors when it’s being trimmed. The massive amount of trichomes make the scissors tacky and hard to handle. This strain’s popular effects have won it multiple awards and become a favorite for many consumers.



The diverse genetics of GG#4 give it a unique terpene profile that causes it to smell mostly of diesel and pine, while having a distinct chocolatey and coffee-like aftertaste once inhaled.





Users report its effects might glue you to the couch, so consuming this strain towards the evenings may ensure you don’t become too lazy during the day when needing to get things done.


Despite being sativa-dominant, the synergy between cannabinoids and terpenes is believed to help relax the body, often creating what people have described as a body buzz. Users also say that GG#4 will influence cerebral activity, so expect a pleasant head high that releases overthinking and improves overall mood.



This strain’s THC percentage levels can vary tremendously, ranging anywhere from the mid-teens to the high 20s, so make sure you check your batch levels to ensure you use the proper amount. Dominant terpenes found in GG#4 are Beta Caryphyllene, Limonene, and Alpha Humulene.


SUPER LEMON HAZE:

The award-winning hybrid cannabis strain Super Lemon Haze derives its name from the zesty citrus aroma it exudes with skunky undertones, along with a taste that is reminiscent of candy. When ready for harvest, its buds are light green and extremely fuzzy with trichome crystals and golden hairs.



Its parents are the hybrids Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. It first blossomed in Amsterdam.

Super Lemon’s THC content is potent, averaging at 16% and reaching as high as 25%. It’s high leaves the consumer energetic and freely social, eliminating many forms of anxiety/stress as well as increasing appetite.




Despite this strain’s ability to increase energy and creative, cerebral activity, some reviewers have warned that the first 15-20 minutes after smoking this strain can be foggy before mental clarity sets in. Others have noted that this strain is a “one-hitter-quitter” since the potency of the strain is so strong.




That's all for now folks!!!


EVERYONE PLEASE ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY AS BEST YOU CAN!

Sending all my love and good juju! :hugs::hippy:
 
Highya Krissi,

Very nice write-up. Very informative and interesting! It must take awhile hunting up the info. Thank you for that! So many strains, so little time!! It would be fun in a different world, to grow, and smoke all the different strains, and frolick, not having to go to work, chores, etc! Pipe dreams!! Spicoli has a gorgeous structure!! I hope you're getting your rest! Happy Smokin'
 
GGSLH, sounds like a good one to grow and enjoy.
Seriously. She is really one of my all time faves. Think its cause she has SSH in her, i am a major fan of most things crossed with that lineage. But the Lemon-Pine smell she has is legitimately so strong, the 420 jar I had her in last year, remains empty but it smells like I have a 6 month cured bud in there, still. Pungently strong, clears your sinuses...
Seriously, you make me want to try growing one of everything in that tent of yours.
It's not me, it's them! The re runs are there for a reason, cause they're pretty bomb. As for the Zombie Death, who doesn't like a GSC-Kush mix with tons of THC and flavor? The @Weed Seeds Express Sirius Black though, even for a Sativa lover, you need to grow one of these squat Indicas. Her smoke is brilliantly smooth and the taste is so berry and sweet its like nothing else I've ever tasted. Not even my beloved Blueberry who tastes like Boo-Berry cereal can hold a candle to that candy like smell.
Hope you enjoy the holidays and start off the new year with droughted yields and sticky buds.
They sure are Gid, I just took down my now droughted Blueberry Autoflower and have her hanging. She sure is sticky.








Happy Holidays brother @Gidorah, it's been a pleasure getting a chance to talk with you over the last few weeks! Thanks for your positive energies!
 
Highya Krissi,

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and whoever comes through your journal! I hope you're able to get some sleep finally! Happy Smokin'
 
Highya Krissi,
Hi Bode, sorry I missed this comment earlier, second time I did that with someone today alone!
Very nice write-up. Very informative and interesting! It must take awhile hunting up the info.
Not too long, the internet had comw a long way!
Thank you for that! So many strains, so little time!! It would be fun in a different world, to grow, and smoke all the different strains, and frolick, not having to go to work, chores, etc! Pipe dreams!!
Heaven?
Spicoli has a gorgeous structure!! I hope you're getting your rest! Happy Smokin'
She is beautiful but no sleep for me tonight I don't think! I did take an hour power nap from 430-530 though
Highya Krissi,

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and whoever comes through your journal! I hope you're able to get some sleep finally! Happy Smokin'
Merry Christmas to you and Julie. Think of me doing warm by the fire with Julie and yours delicious Christmas breakfast spread tomorrow!
 
Merry Christmas to everyone! Krissi, you've done wonderful things on this site, I see your touches and influence on a lot of pages, girl gets around! Wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer questions and literary-ally write all your thoughts down for a neophyte grower such as myself to access. My first grow is coming along nicely and I have everyone on this forum to thank but especially you. Grow on my friend and challenge everything.

Thats what she said! Haha! I try my best to be present wherever I can whenever I can. Means a lot, thank you!
Wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer questions and literary-ally write all your thoughts down for a neophyte grower such as myself to access.
i have a problem with being over zealous. Especially with words. I'm lucky this character flaw is actually quite helpful and educational in this setting. Glad I dont bore you with all my informational blah blahs!
My first grow is coming along nicely and I have everyone on this forum to thank but especially you. Grow on my friend and challenge everything.
I'm so so so very happy to hear that. Gid, my first grow was last June. I joined this community in July and haven't looked back since. Just keep getting better and better with all of the tools I have learned here from others I complimented much like you are me now. I wouldn't be here without them.

@West Hippie is the reason I am here to this day. His knowledge and heart and positivity during my first grow was all I needed to pull up a seat here forever. I'm trying to pass it forward as best as I know how.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and I CAN NOT wait to see what you will accomplish here!
 
Guys and gals, HAPPY HOLIDAYS STILL!
Cause man it is still going. Off in just a few to another family dinner, wanted to come in and do my update while I had a couple minutes to spare!






We are back around to Zombie Death as our FOCUS PLANT OF THE DAY!





Today at DAYS 85/86 and DAY 28 FLOWER for the tent, we focus on Spike, our 85 Day old Zombie Death.




A MIX OF OG LA KUSH AND GSC, I wanted to take the opportunity today to discuss her OG LA KUSH parent so here we go!




ABOUT HER ORIGIN:

The indica-dominant hybrid LA Kush first blossomed in Los Angeles California, which is where it gets its name from.
This is a hybrid strain with an uncertain genetic history. The consensus is the cultivar is OG Kush crossed with Abusive OG.





TERPENES AND MORE:

Despite its unknown origins, this LA Kush is . This strain reportedly uplifts moods before sweeping users with a blanket of relaxation that stems from its THC range of 19-21%.
It's terpene profile is dominated by Linalool, Camphene, and Sabinene.



Linalool has a spicy taste yet floral aroma that cannabis enthusiasts love. This terpene helps people that suffer from pain on a regular basis. Two strains that contain this terpene are Strawberry Diesel and Grape Stomper.






Camphene has a wide range of uses but also has anti-inflammatory properties. Strains that contain this terpene include White Widow and White Cookies.





Sabinene gives marijuana a spicy kick and has anti-inflammatory properties.
BONUS INFO: (The Mimosa strain is high in this terpene)






SCENTS/AROMAS

It is beloved for its piney sweet flavors with a hint of lavender and mint scent and her smokeable aromas are that of pine with overtones of aninty and dank earth.





THE BUDS

Its buds are various shades of deep greens with fiery auburn pistils scattered within them.The appearance of this strain continues with a blanketing of trichomes that are no surprise due to the potent nature of this strain.




Though it’s an indica-dominant hybrid, LA Kush have been found to be very cerebral and uplifting according to reviewers. Some said they’ve experienced focus and creativity or an enhanced sense of spirituality after inhaling it. Some said they experienced relaxation and a state of sleepiness.




There’s some debate over LA Kush’s lineage, but one parent is believed to be Abusive OG...otherwise lineage is as follows






That's all I have for today, need to finish our 2nd to last Holiday outing of the week in about a half hour!

Check back tomorrow everyone!
