HashGirl's Summer 2021 Recreational Grow

*** Weekly Update ***
​

Good afternoon.

The only news this week is that I decided to pop a Diesel seed into water. The reason I chose the Diesel is because it's replacing a Sour Diesel. When I decide what to plant, I like to grow at least 2 of the same strain in order to get a bigger yield. Diesel seemed close enough to Sour Diesel so that's why I picked it.

Anyhow, without further ado, here are the photos:

The outdoor plants are yellowing a bit so I asked Felonious to bump the MC to 4.5 grams per gallon.

That's all. Thanks for following along.

Your little JH looks like mine, with the weird leaves coming out of strange places. I'll get a pic tomorrow!

Here's the info on Diesel:

Having lent its name and genetics to just about more incredible hybrids than any other strain out there, the original Diesel strain is less legendary and more a critical part of pot history. Mexican Sativa and Afghani were initially combined to create this truly incredible Diesel strain, which has the kind of global following that tells you you’re onto something good. You are – you really can’t call yourself a fan of anything close to cannabis if you’re not familiar with what Diesel is all about.

The Diesel Strain Aroma

Though the look of Diesel doesn’t really hit home with anything that sets it apart from other epic strains, it all hits home when you get the rest of your sense involved. Open a jar of those crystalline green-orange buds and you’re hit with an instant blast of sugary-citrus goodness, which sits halfway between sugary cereal and fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Grind it up and the grapefruit fragrance becomes saturated with a whack of raw diesel fuel, which is nothing short of mind-blowing.

Smoking Diesel

The flavour certainly doesn’t disappoint, delivering a decent hit of that fruitiness from the fragrance though with much more pronounced sourness. It’s the raw diesel notes that really take over when smoking Diesel, which produces a heavy smoke that has the potential to be a little rough on the exhale. The aftertaste is predominantly sour – a sensation you either tend to love or hate. In any case, you know exactly what you’ve been hitting…big time!

Diesel Strain Effects/Medical Effects

As a Sativa-dominant strain, you know what you’re in for with Diesel. You can expect to spend around two hours after a few heavy hits bouncing around the place with the kind of creative energy that makes you want to do something/anything awesome. Stuff you need to get done seems to get done on its own, though at the same time there’s a sense of content relaxation that’ll have you craving more of the same. It can therefore do a pretty good job in combatting stress and anxiety, though it packs such an enormous punch that it can be overwhelming for the inexperienced.

Growing Diesel at Home

If you’re out to grow a batch of your own, you’ll be looking at plants that have the potential to reach up to three metres given ideal growing conditions, with flowering times of around 65 days. If you’ve got the space, it’s surprisingly easy to grow and usually proves to be extremely robust and durable against disease, mould, rot – the whole job lot. THC content comes in at around the 18% mark and yields are average. At the same time, a little goes a very long way with this stuff!

Both Big Devil XLs are blooming today:

Your BigDevils are starting to put that big smile on my face.

The one you get after you smoke the cured bud?

 

[HashGirl]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to them. They should be done sometime in September according to the breeder.

I think we need to get more canning jars though as I doubt we'll have enough empty ones for just them alone.

Hi HG
It would be good to get them right now. I couldn’t find any (at a reasonable price) last fall.

 

[HashGirl]

Yeah, Virgin Ground said the same thing. It's not supposed to be warm enough for swimming today so I might go and get them today. Or...(and this is far more likely), I'll ask Felonious to pick up more for me.

 

[FelipeBlu]

An excellent plan!
The pool is calling..

Fall/harvet time is when they are needed most and get scarce.
We were able to get our canning jars from thrift stores off season.

If you're growing big outside plants, I'd skip the jars and use turkey bags in a lidded bucket. Much cheaper and easier than multiple flats of mason jars.

Oh, and is it tomorrow yet?

That’s what I did - turned out fine. I still like glass for the best colas - sometimes only one will fit comfortably in a quart jar.

I know nothing about turkey bags. Are they plastic? Do you have a photo of this method?

Yes, I noticed that you've been scarce this week. I just posted my Jack Herer in your journal since it seemed like you wouldn't be back with a photo of yours here.

 

[InTheShed]

Lots of gardening and a day at the beach will keep me away!

Turkey roasting bags, and yes plastic. Not airtight though no matter how well you close them, hence the need to for an airtight bucket.

Both heads are just starting their 5th node. @InTheShed - Did you top both heads? That's what I'm thinking about doing.

[Virgin Ground]

Yup. Grab your jars now. I've seen them back in stock all around here.

Big flats of them at our fleet farm and Wal-Mart stores.

Howdy y'all

I told Felonious to bump the MC up to 5g yesterday due to the yellowing on the outside plants.

Thanks for following along and as always, comments are welcome.
