Featherleaf's Perpetual Grow

[Featherleaf]

Hey!
Picture is of my 5 girls that are 2 weeks into flowering... About time I start a journal?
I have lurked many forums for a few years, but I only made an account here as people here seem nice.

I started growing in order to medicate an ill family member. I smoke it myself, but I enjoy growing it and talking about growing it more than smoking it if I am being honest.

I use seeds and clones.
Current strains are LSD, Damnesia, GG Allin and G13 x C.O.B.
All except G13s are flowering, I only just put the GG Allins in the flower tent yesterday.
I have a cute hobby seedbank, and when I decide to introduce another strain I plant all 10-15 of the seeds of that strain, then pick the best to clone and continue.
With this method I have been able to get my hands on 2 different and desireable LSD phenotypes and an AMAZING Damnesia phenotype that both I have been growing for a while.

I have a 5x5 flower tent and a few smaller veg tents.
600W HPS, inlet and outlet with temperature control ventilation.
Coco grow with House and Garden nutrients, Terpinator and CalMg.

More to come soon

Hi featherleaf,
Your 5 girls looking really healthy! I'll join you on the lurking side, seems like this community is growing so well now!! Atleast here we can talk grow without thieves and popo locating us...
Very interested in your g13, what was she like thru veg?
All the best, happy growing.

 

[Featherleaf]

Thanks dude! I treat them good I have a lot of free time so they are always looked after.
Right now my G13 x Cali Orange Bud's are in veg, but they won the little contest in the veg tent. They were planted along side the GG Allins. Compared with the G13, the GG Allins were disappointing so I just put them straight into flower without taking clones. I am going to monster crop a GG Allin Clone if I get a female or more.
The G13's are still in veg, they have been really good and thirsty. Because my flower tent is full, I will be showing a lot of G13 in veg ;-)

Good setup

It's good to see that you enjoy growing buddy!
What week are your girls (g13x) now?
Do you have anymore pics

Yooo. Welcome featherleaf. Your girls are super happy and healthy! Mind if i chill n watch? Im gonna be doing some cloning of my own in a couple months once a few autoflowers have been chopped. Blessings!

They are in week 3 of veg, and all of them look better than the best GG Allin. There are 2 G13s that are behind because they took WAY longer to germinate but they eventually did and are about the size of a 2 weeks clone now. I took a few pics of my veg tent so you could see a bit of everything, but I am going to take them all out tomorrow evening and take individual pics of the different strains and phenos with their labels and better lighting.
Youre looking at LSD Indica pheno 1 clones, LSD Hybrid pheno 1 clones, a Damnesia clone and the medium sized plants around the middle are the G13s which are from regular seeds. There is also 1 GG Allin in that pic but only because it was the best, so lets hope its a female. But I will take individual pics tomorrow when I have them all out together on my hobby desk.

Youre most welcome ^_^! I absolutely ADORE cloning, its how I have kept 3 insanely amazing strains for so long. I use a turboklone which boosted success rate to 100% if done correctly, but almost all my rockwool clones survive as well. I just like how easy the tuboklone is to use .
I am currently on the hunt for an autoflower seed source. I have always wanted to have an autoflower grow going, I have never grown them before and I have so many spare small tents

Welcome @Featherleaf, I will also pull up a chair and pass out the cheesie poofs if you don't mind. Looking good!

Sounds promising. This is my first crack at autos myself. Im loving the speed they grow at. Proof will be in the pudding though

This post is dedicated to what I call my "Fucked With It" plant. It is an LSD hybrid, phenotype 2 (one that I wont be keeping clones of).
I do not like trelis netting. I know for a fact that it would increase my yield, however it would limit my ability to move them around and play with them which is what I enjoy. I find if you maintain a good canopy, you can do well without netting
The main technique I will be trying out on this plant this grow is called "stem piercing" and it wont be done untill late in flower. I know quite a few people who intentionally pierce the stem with a skewer to increase resin, and 2 of those people are growers who I have a lot of respect for. I know there will be a lot of people who will say its stupid etc, which is why I always have 1 plant to fuck with per grow .
What I do to this plant is what I am not yet prepared to do to my main plants. The purpose of this plant is to teach myself new training techniques, in particular "High Stress Training" techniques, and I always have 1 "Fucked With It" plant per grow.
I chuck on an audiobook, and start fucking with it. All of this was done in veg.
I bent, twisted, crimped and knuckled every single branch untill they branches were just past the point of sagging. Bounced back in 3 days. The branches looked like they were being tied down, and they are ROCK SOLID now. They will support MASSIVE buds. I also, VERY GENTLY, bent and twisted the actual main stem. That is why the main stem looks like its been lifting weights.

These are my GG Allins that are in flower.
WE HAVE 1 CONFIRMED FEMALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, my new clone tent that is designed to fit my TurboKlone.

 

[Featherleaf]

This is my LSD Hybrid phenotype 1 and I am giving it its own post for out of many fem seeds, I was able to get only a SINGLE sativa dominant plant as there is only a small genetic connection to a sativa strain. All the rest were clearly Indica dominant.

 

[Featherleaf]

These are my G13s, a GG Allin and a Damnesia clone. After tying down the tops, I FIM'd them all. As a result, the branches are only just starting to reach up. I should have topped them instead -_- FIMing is very unpredictable.

I have medical seeds, regular seeds and feminized seeds.
My current feminized seed strains are
Blackband
Truthband 707
Super Lemon Haze x Bubba Kush
Snowflake Kush (an "underground superstrain" that was NOT EASY to obtain!)

Any suggestions on what to plant next? I was thinking of maybe planting 1 or 2 of each instead of just picking 1 strain like I usually do.

No worries you are very welcome! Hope you like updates because I do a lot of them lol

Lem x bubba and snowflake are my votes

If ya wanting a flat canopy may i suggest giving @Asesino85 quadline a try one day. Works wonders
