My First Time Growing

Just figured I'd keep you all updated with the plants. This first pic is just Casey:

Next up is a bud from Casey

I even used a loupe and couldn't get a good pic out of it. I just don't have Canna's talent for picture.

Next is the Delicious Critical Super Silver Haze:

Next we have The Truthband in flower:

Here's Minnie me:

Lastly is the New York Power Diesel:

See next post, wouldn't put it in post messsage


That's all of 'em for now! I hope you guys enjoyed the pics. As always will keep you guys updated as more stuff happens.

The real important thing is that the perpetual is kicking. You have a group of plants at all stages and even know how to clone! I recommend cloning everything. That way once you find a strain that is perfect for your pain you can always keep her for years to come. Growing from seeds is variable. But keep your best girls and you can cultivate that relationship forever. My Twister strain has been going almost two decades by cloning only.
 
Yep, there is still a pistil explosion going on... Casey's been in flower for 11 weeks now. Since it's a bag seed we don't know what it is but it looks like this is a long flowering strain of some sort. Part of my thinking when I told Smoke to harvest Harley was to make room for the know genetics coming up behind the bag seed trio; Harley, Casey, and Minnie.

Harley could have gone longer. We'll get an idea of how much longer by watching Casey since they went into flower at the same time and both are from the same bag. Smoke tells us that Harley is strong medicine... Getting Harley out of the way got Smokey some meds in hand and made room for strains we have a better reference for what they'll do.

Casey may turn out to go 14 weeks, and 14 week flowering strains make a poor lead in for a perpetual. That kind of crazy pistil activity at 11 weeks has me wondering if that isn't some sort of tropical sativa. It's going to be fun to watch.
 
Congratulations on your very first harvest Smokey :Namaste:

Harley, Casey, and Minnie are fun looking plants. I wonder what they are. The pistils are just crazy still. Is the high zippy?

Try to get a dry bud picture sometime, Smoke.

Casey looks like it can go longer.

Congratulations on the harvest. Really cool. :circle-of-love:

PJ, Here is the dried bud you asked to see, Unfortunately I broke them up to smaller pieces when I put them in the Mason jars. Sorry I wasn't on today, I had hardware problems today, It turned out to be a bad external Hard Drive cord. Now I just have to get the software that was lost. But first I plan on trying to find another power cord for the originals. But in case you guys don't hear from me soon it's because of computer problems. I'm also going to send you a PM.

Can't see much there, Smoke, but it's not that important. Is it doing the job? That's the important thing.

I went back and was looking at pictures of Harley, Casey, Jordan, and Minnie. All appear to be the same strain. I always forget, I've asked before; did all the seeds come out of the same stash?

Some things I noted:

All four plants were fairly slow to initiate flowering when the light cycle was reduced. It was a good 10 - 14 days before they kicked into flower mode. This leads me to suspect that there is quite a lot of sativa dominance in the strain. They are also taking their sweet time in flower. Harley was harvested at 10 weeks - not 10 weeks under 12/12, but 10 weeks since it started to flower under 12/12. The pistils on Casey are still crazy and she's been in flower since Harley was.

I forget what hit the tent behind Minnie. Truthband? It'll be fun to see if Truthband passes Minnie in the race to the harvest line.

Whatever those bag seeds are, they are probably not a good beginner strain, yet you've made it look pretty easy. I'm looking forward to a comparison between Harley and Casey down the road. Casey may be able to go quite a bit longer. We'll watch for the pistils to pull back, mostly. It's harvest time may be dictated by when another plant is ready to move into the flower tent more than anything else.

First off, yes, It works great! It helps my pain a lot, helps my depression and seems to even help my P.T.S.D. So that is the most important thing about it!!

I admit, The nug was small, but I had broke them all up to fit in the jars better, Sorry! I'll make sure to get a pic of a pic of a big nug of Casey when ever she finishes.

3 of the starter seeds (I think I remember this, 80% sure) were from one bag and one seed was from another bag. But I'm not 100% positive anymore

As far as to what plants are located in the tent to ID them, I move them around all the time for light and when I'm watering or especially when I take pics. But there is Casey on the left (as you look at it) always, and right now, Minnie is the tallest of the new ones. The truthband is still fairly squat and the Amnesia is the shortest (so far, she just went in 6 days ago).
I tried defoliating the new plants this morning and just couldn't do it with my back, Anyone one want to come defoliate 3 plants? :)

I'll get it done, Just may take a little time. I'll take pics of the girls in flower as soon as I'm up to it.

You are always one of the places I stop by everyday. I just don't post much lately, some people might find that a good thing. :rofl:

Got your email and disregarded. Glad to see all is fixed and well. :)

Sis

P.S., you know I would love to come and defol for you! Everyone is sooooo far away. :-(
 
Same here - I haven't missed a day on Smokey's journal yet. :thumb:

I am REALLY glad that it has helped other people than just me. Thanks for the kind words
 
PJ, I just wanted to let you know, I'm not able to do anything today. I had planned on posting pics of all my plants, so you could get a good shot of where everything is at in the grow, but I had a bad night on the back and can hardly walk today. So all I've done is check if they needed water and that's it for today. As soon as I'm feeling better, I'll get those pic's up. I'm just basically real sore and now I have a safer medicine to treat it thanks to you and all the help I had help here on the journal.
 
PJ, You won't believe how dumb I was! I looked back at the bud of Casey's and it's the same pic as one of Minnie's bud. I screwed up the picture and renames it the wrong plant, sorry! and didn't realize it until today when I went to get a better picture for you (BTW, My camera crapped out and I'm trying to charge the first one I used on here that takes crappy pictures. Just to let you know why when the picture quality drops until I can get a new one.

Anyways I can't believe I made that mistake, but because of my back lately, I have been mostly just glancing at the plants and seeing when they need water. I feel so dumb! OK, Here are the last pics I was able to take on that camera. The first is of Amnesia, Then a Bud from Casey, Casey, Minnie and the Truthband.

The other camera has been charging for a couple hours and is only charged a little, so I doubt I'll be taking any more pics today. As soon as I have a working camera again, I'll show you the plants in the book case also. If I don't get the camera running, I'll explain them to you tomorrow. Just want to recline back down right now.
