Heirloom's A Little Bit Of Everything - 2016 Journal

And a note about whats up here:

I have 10 of my sib1 cross Dark Devils started. Have had one germ failure in 11 beans. Since clones didn't happen for my big #20 fabric pots, I figured it was a good opportunity to see what they would do outdoors in big pots. So 8 are designated for those, and the others are going to grow in a tent in #5 pots.

Should have a decent harvest in about 11 weeks.

:slide:

And the planted girls. Damn. They are going to be crazy. I 'cruise directed' some training, lol. Actually I tried to get my hands dirty, that's what was happening when I screwed up and fell. They've been topped, bent over 90 degrees, have all the side branches pulled out and down and spaced apart. Each is getting trained out to the root zone edge in a pattern sorta like spokes on a bike rim. That obviously forces the middle branch sites to shoot up creating the flat top canopy. It's low stress training like SCROG, but with no screen over the plant. I'll have a pic or two taken soon to show you all how we anchored the ties for each branch and did it in a way that can they be moved and adjusted without driving stakes into the roots all over the place. Brilliant, if that's not to lame of me to say. You'll see.
 
Why did you choose dark Devils?
 
That isn't lame of you to say at all Heirloom. Good to hear. This gives you more incentive when you have wickedly challenging days. Looking forward to the pictures. Cajun'd mentioned that the strain that recently hit over 30% THC (somewhere in Nevada, I think it was) was trained on vertical screens. I like the sounds of what you're doing.

I'll expect a picture of those DDAs on the thread, you know. :Love: :hugs: :Love:
 
Because they are the most abundant feminized seeds I have ATM. I'm not going to bother with cloning up blue dream or tangerine dream for anything more than a couple seed making plants. These are seeds I made, so this a test of that feminized batch. Plus I am infatuated with how incredibly dark purple this plant is. It's simply beautiful.
 
Yeah I see them as ornamentals..might get one plant in every 50 worth a toke but they look good :rofl:
 
Of course you breed the 1-50, I wouldn't have thought you'd waste time on less Heirloom...
 
Nah man, not now, with what I'm reading, your time is very valued around here mate...
 
I second Grizz's statement!

:hugs:
 
I third forth and fifth Grizz's statement.... and I put a cherry on the top of my day... My Pom ate about a 1/3 of a joint of Jack Herer... She's a weeble doll... I haven't felt this guilty about something I did in a long time... Well I didn't do it but you know what I mean... She is stoned cold passed out and kinda scary... I know she will be OK and hopefully it will cure her compulsion to steal my buds but in the mean time she is one mucked up puppy... What a day... I think I will go to bed and start fresh tomorrow... Good night my friend and hope you have a blessed evening....:circle-of-love:
 
:rofl:

I had a special brownie go missing a couple days ago. I watched people that day. The only person more out of it than normal was my G'ma. I couldn't call her out on it. She was all over the place like when a kid throws a bowling ball and it bounces between the safety rails. She a compulsive eater, and it got her that time, I'm sure of it.
 
:laugh:

Soooooo, we have learned that weebles wobble, but they do fall down.....and brownies are Granny's exercise coaches.

Good Morning everyone!
 
Heirloom that so sounds like a plan. I will start collecting some of those pods today. I opened one and it definitely gave me some powder. I have some nice small Mason jars that will do nicely. I have 8 tiny plants I will flip today and save the pollen I collect for the shotgun method. Sounds like a perfect technique for lack of pollen. And yeah next time I am going to go weekly for sure.


On the subject of low stress training for you and the plants. I saw on photos thread he was using a small hole net to hang over the plants and drape. It was holding the stems sideways nicely and making them grow sideways. May be a perfect method for you. I may try it as well. Post 53

Shigg, Sounds great. After shotgun, wipe the inside with something, a small paint brush maybe. And then brush the back grill on the fan. Get as much out of it as possible if you are really low on pollen.

Thanks for the link. That looks pretty cool. But I can see missing a day or three of adjusting the net and having a dozen or more tops pop through 5 inches. Then having to molest them to get them out. Pics of what we did are coming shortly.....

:high-five:
