Graytail's 3rd: 4x4, HiBrix, Latest LED Tech, Lots Of Light!

[SweetSue]

I have to add here that I weighed out the 8 grams I use in my standard brownie meds and two grams of sweet crumbled buds is an impressive pile of goodness. So maybe I do drink all of you under the cannabis table, eh? Ha! I still find it hard to believe.

It's nice to be me.

It's update Monday and I have a new set of pics for y'all!

I've decided to chop OHS1 tomorrow. Calyx growth is ebbing and pistils are turning orange, and it just has the signs of being ready enough - I need the space and I want a buzzy buzz anyway. Still no particular orange scent to it, but I'm going to be more careful about the wash and cure this time and see if I can bring out more of those terpenes. It also occurred to me this late that I probably should have fed it more heavily, or finished on Cat drench or something to amplify the terps.

Orange Hill Special Cut1 - 118 days old - 55 days 12/12 - 44 since pistils - Brix 15/16

UH x Carnival is a beauty! I have two cuts vegging and I'm leaning towards culling Tikal3 and running both cuts. I'm really impressed with the frost! And I can't see how it won't be a particularly special high - my two favorites, after all. Two weeks to go ...

Utopia Haze x Carnival - 115 days old - 55 days 12/12 - 44 since pistils

Tikal1 is behaving surprisingly well after that vigorous stretch. Buds are building and no sign of fade yet. We like that.

Tikal Cut1 - 112 days old - 34 days 12/12 - 22 since pistils

BHxUH on the other hand, decided she had to add another 4.5 inches before she felt she would be comfortable, at 42.5 inches now. Hmph - better be worth it. I'm looking for a heavily Brazilian pheno.

Buddha Haze x Utopia Haze - 104 days old - 34 days 12/12 - 22 since pistils

Next oldest is Carnival, looking quite proud and robust - more of that early trich production stuff, too - very charming.

CarnivalA - 99 days old - 25 days 12/12 - 15 since pistils

The Grinspoon pics were kinda blurry, but she's lookin' mighty fine - not as far along as Carnival, though, and apparently not the weird pheno. But she sure is easy to grow. If the genetics come through in the final product, I've got a real winner on my hands. And I have a successful clone.

DrGrinspoon - 93 days old - 21 days 12/12

Channel+ is turning into a gorgeous thing. I reread the genetics on this one and the reviews and wow, people like it! It's supposedly an extremely fast high yielder with high CBD and decent THC. The BH x Blue Blood I have is really growing on me - I can feel the CBD in it.

Channel+ - 89 days old - 5 days 12/12

Y Griega is also a hearty looking plant - love the color and shine

Y Griega - 87 days old - 5 days 12/12

Tikal2 went into the room today to replace OHS1. She's bigger than I like but ...

Tikal Cut2 - 112 days old

I didn't pull the vegging plants out for pics, so I have some group shots in situ.

CarnivalB, 50 days old, and Purple Haze, 37 days old

In the back, I have Tikal3 at 34 days, Carn x UH at 54 days and a mislabeled top from BHxUH at 35 days
In front, there's another Carn x UH and Y Griega1 at 25 days.

Here's Taskenti at 30 days ...

And the youngest, Freddy's Best at 13 days ...

Two or three joints a day....tops, weekends, more.

Just about the same here Duggan but about 3 or 4 a day. My "wake & bakes" and lunch break joints are pretty slim but my evening and late night joints probably have more than a gram each in them. If I'm going out during the week it's a little more; especially if I'm with friends that smoke. Come to think of it I'm probably more along the lines with Sue. I've been labeled a pothead since the age of 15 and growing sure has helped the size of my wallet. LOL...

Lovely update Gray.

 

[DrZiggy]

Great Job, GT!!!

 

[SweetSue]

You should be proud of yourself. You're taking her down tomorrow. Look at these gorgeous leaves. We must talk in private about your drench ratios. Or is it the gift of light working this wonder?

Your light jackpot is paying big dividends in your veg room. Those are the happiest youngsters I believe you've raised to date, am I right? I've finally gotten comfortable enough in your presence that instead of being completely intimidated I find myself grateful to be standing so close to such genius.

You do know we all want to grow like you? I'm doin' my best, but I know I'm only going to catch a part. I'm ok with that. My part is a damned pretty plant and your counterpart of her gets me real tingly when you post those pictures.

Ahhhh.... Back for another stroll. Thanks Graytail.

Thank you B A R I was beginning to develop a complex. That 2 grams a day in the brownies is my starting point. Although many days I leave it at that, it's just as likely I'll extend it. Actually Reg, I figured if anyone in this group was going to own up to consuming something in league with me it was going to be you. LOL! Your reputation is legend. That endless harvest you run helps.

 

[Graytail]

Heheh, you're all making me feel like a lightweight. In my defense, I'm oldschool - I don't let smoke go to waste. I smoke from a two-hit brass bat from a 30 year old dugout that I still have and use for portability - have two of 'em in fact. I might, maybe, go through 1.5 grams a day. So ... two years of 2-3 ounce harvests ... sheesh I have a lotta toke!



I noticed the same thing about the general health of this current batch of plants. I wonder if it isn't basic soil temp. I noticed a dramatic rise in overall energy level when the temps went up into the high 80s. And soil temps have also been higher. But I've also gotten my soil recycling into more harmony, so it might be better soil in general. I've slowly been adding some of my old third-run unbalanced soil into the bin when I recycle a rootball, and there's that, too - a bunch of recent rootballs to feed everything and re-introduce the harmonious biota ...

Dunno. But I sure do prefer green leaves to yellow ones! Now I have to get rid of the burnt tips. I'm hoping they were mostly from the 92 degree days they went through.

 

[GhettoGro]

"harmonious biota" ? lol

Those girls are beautiful. They are in harmony with their biota I think. Love the variety.

I gotta get out more. I have been missing this. Great work!

Thanks for all your teachings, Gray! This will be my 50th post--couldn't be happier to put it on your wall. Much love!

Eight grams for brownies... Dang...it takes me a little over two weeks to smoke through eight grams. My standard brownies would use like three or four grams.

That's actually what I was using when I was making them for my daughter's sleep meds. When I started making them for me I just doubled the dose and it felt really good, so I stuck with it, because it feels really good.

You'd have loved my first batch. It was made with 14 grams. THAT was a buzz. "

Utopia Haze x Carnival is sporting quite a set of knockers... Is the one in veg a cut of that same pheno GT?

 

[B A R]

I can smoke to my heart's content but those edibles are just too; well not strong but overwhelming. Maybe it's just me but I can't seem to master that high, it masters me. Does that make sense to anyone?

Ya BAR, know what ya mean brotha....Eating my buzz makes me warm and fuzzy which is nice but also makes me tired. I like the instant buzz from joints, nothing else except for a bong toke seems to have the punch that I desire when I par take!Have an awesome day BAR and Gang! Cheers ....gotta get some java...

it does to me. one of my medical user friends uses for anxiety and appetite enhancement, poor thing never eats. She is almost dangerously thin. she likes to smoke. she tried to vape oil, didn't go well, got grumpy mean.
so yeah i can totally understand.
so we stick with the smoke, there is no changing her mind, i am just happy to see her eat.

I'm the same. My wife likes medibles, but I don't like the delay, can't master the dosage, and typically puts me to sleep.

Gray - You can do no wrong in my book! Stellar update and awesome buds, bro!

 

[B A R]

I think you hit it on the nose Pita. I'll eat a cookie, feel a little buzz but not really so I'll eat one more. By the time I'm high it's too late; I feel weird for too long; not too high just too weird and it seems to last forever.

Yes it is, PeeJay!

I'm glad the cuts took as well as they did, because this is a cross I only have a few seeds from. In fact, I'm not entirely sure the pollen came from UH. I just went over my calendar and journal carefully and a Utopia Haze had been throwing some nanners when this Carnival was in early bloom, so I made the assumption.

It looks very promising at this stage, two weeks from finish with that kind of frost already. The genetics are ideal for my tastes, and this pheno is particularly nice. After running almost 30 different strains now, I'm pretty sure the jackpot is the pheno, not the strain. We see these amazing plants and we get a seed and try it ourselves and it doesn't turn out all that great for us ... well, it's not just our skills - it's also that pheno - get a cut of it and try again, and I bet it does beautifully. I've had a few of those phenos and every cut was just as gorgeous as the mother.

Awesome plants GT! Enjoy cutting them up!

Hey, wow! I am about halfway into the thread.

I was pointed in your direction by Sue.
- can you give me your advice on making my grow set up a perpetual grow? Sue, spoke about how you gave advice on setting up a solid schedule. I have always been one to look for wisdom(growth from mistakes), and you are an obvious a proper choice.

All the best.
