Our Ongoing Grows

[NorCaliwood]

Well I threatened ya'll with updates. I have acouple pic's of some miniature plants I'm growing. They aren't really small but small for I'm use to growing. I treated these with Bush Masters when I put them in flower. First the Star-47;

And her buddage at 45 days in;

Another one that looks exactly the same. I'd swear they were sisters the way they are growing and the way flowers look. Size matches too. It's NL X BB;

And a fast pic of the kids. I got alot of Vantage in there. Pretty sure I got 12 and some more Cripit, Star-47, and a Berkley Blue. I culled the Speotnik#1 from my gardens. I know better plants so she isn't worth the space. I even pulled a 3 footer out the flower room that was like 2 weeks in. Here's the nursery;

And I have afew teens growing. There is a White Widow, and Cheese, Moby Dick, and that's a Berkley Blue in the front that is going in flower tonite;

And one last update, That OG Kush I'm trying to save. I cut 5 cuttings tonight. The poor plant has never dried out since the flush before harvest from my outdoor grow. She looked alittle sluggish growing. I mean her pot never dried at all. I should've shook out some of the dirt and repotted but that's more work then I felt like doing. I remember she clones easy so I should some something outta 5 cuts. OG Kush revegged;

Well everyone take care out there and Keepem Green

Sprout is there any thing you can't do?
Lovely young ladies you have!
Hey mis J.

 

[Billdeskjet]

looking good dad, you got the green thumb for sure. keep it up

 

[NorCaliwood]

Thanks Billie. Looking foreward to you coming out for a alittle vacation. Guess I need to start a list of work to do to keep ya busy. JK But you know I'll think of something for ya while your here.
Thanks Vic, hey you got it going on on your thread also.
But times my energy levels sure are low. Wish some wood rub off my plants onto me. But they are a never ending thing. Don't get me wrong, I love growing. Doing it since like 77' give or take a year, and minus afew years when CDC had me captive. Been doing it forever it seems, and now that I can legaly grow without worry of the law, I'm winding down instead of taking off. LOL
I remember getting Cali's MMJ Card,it's first year, and card #35 while I lived in the Bay Area. Cops raided my house in Tracy Ca. Man they bulldoged me ended up getting 16 months outta that. Man they took everything. Pissed me off, took photo albums I had, all my lights and back then I had a setup going, There was like 16 1000 watters. Whats really funny was sitting in county fighting my case, and I see all these lights stacked up outside waiting on police auction. Ballasts, cordsets, suncircles I was using as mover, CO2 generators, even this homemade pvc pipe hydro setup that custom cut to a spare room. I always wondered what they where planning to do with that. It was a dripper setup with alot of 3" net pots. Nothing fancy, PVC pipes and saw horses. I guess they were going to sell it to another pothead. Or use it to catch other growers. Was 96' and wasn't a hydro store on every corner back then. And wasn't a big circle of growers, well there was but they kept a lower profile or else. I lost count long ago of how many times I've said, why can't we grow this stuff? Well what really pissed me off is now that I CAN and without worry my 'get away sticks' don't like to do their part, and I'm slowing down fast. OH world keeps turning I guess.

Sprout is there any thing you can't do?
Lovely young ladies you have!
Hey mis J.

Not sure if I did that right but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the answer to that Pop's, is yes Sure dance or run. Thanks for popping in.
Xlr man that works easy for that hash. I need to dail in the screen size to the next smaller. I used the 220 screen and didn't beat it up really heavy. Did get abit of leaf material mixed in, going to be funny to see the difference in color, but this is damn near all trichromes under the scope. Here's a pic 1 oz;

and this is 2 oz's;

I'm going to break it down into couple gram pieces for gifts for for my peoples at X-mas. Incense ya know? I love the smell of hash . Long time ago there was suppose to be a hash called columbian sweat hash. Tells of women running naked thru the hash fields early in the morning when oils levels are the highest and most fragrant, they using a knife to scrape the hash from thier body. Now I heard this way back when, BUT I'm going to chose to belive this. If it isn't true, it should be.
Well I'm outta here gotta go fire up a bowl ya know just to sample. Man I do alot of sampling. But just like most potheads, we get burnt on the same weed. So this hash is right on time. Keepem Green

 

[Alaskan1]

HEY!!!! Tose plants look familar!!! The OG looks a lot better then when I saw it.
The cripit has been repotted and is really taking off! I'm about to repot one of the vantage as well so it can start it's new life as a mother.

I will be heading your way again the end of Febuary and i will be bringing you MORE treats

 

[Xlr8]

Dannnnnggg. That's some hash!! Woowee. +rep my friend for some beautious blonde.

 

[Alaskan1]

Test results came back on the P91.................17.5% THC

 

[NorCaliwood]

Thanks XLR. I did them with the 220 screen. Tonight I try the smaller sized. Whatever it is 160 I think. Love the hash the taste is great. And once you figgure how big a hit you can handel.
Is them Alaska. I even had to kind of top a couple of them to control size. I don't have room to flower them out in the near future, so I kind of to dwarf them alittle. I'll keep the pot size down till they show need of flexing their roots structure. 17% guess I need to dial it in abit better. You have to learn strains. I grew that one outdoors I think. So I really don't have a amount of flower time on that one. I just harvested one that was about 52 days under 12/12. I guess I need to let them go afew more days, 56 or 57 days for the next one. Man it wood be sweet to have a cheap home test for %. Then you could find that peak time. Sample buds cut every 3-4 days till ya see levels decline or whatever your' looking for. It's awe full hard to do that with just one plant growing at a time and having to sample smoke and guess when shes highest. 17% isn't all that but, might still be a workable plant. Just have to try alittle longer in flower, or other vairiables like fertilizers, grow medium or even inside or out lighting, with the one I have in. Should be able to get at least another 4 or 5 percent out of her. I have a star-47 in there. I plan on letting her flower abit longer than the last. I grew one outside, the next I flowered inside and the weed seemed abit better, now the one I got in is going to go aweek longerthan the last. But I have no way to tell if it's helping. Like ALOT of people here, we do get a tolerance to weed. That's why I myself dont grow as I say,'flips'. Man I'd be sick of weed if all I had was one strain for even a month straight. Variety helps me alot. And I always see people looking for certian types weed to act like diferent kinds of med's, man that's the hardest thing to figgure out about a plant. I mean you grow a plant, flower it for 60 days and harvest. Dude smokes it, it doesn't help his say headache. But 65 days might be perfect. Takes a keen head to be able to judge things like that.
Speaking of that Star-47, I tried to get alittle better pic of it without taking them out of the flower room. These two strains are two peas in a pod. I'd swear they were clones. I seem to like the Star-47 better that the NLxBB. Well I have afew harvests of trial Star-47 meds and they seem to be improving with every grow. I have this one still growing;

and;

This is the end of the NLxBB I have growing. I grew her out twice and wasn't impressed at all with it.NLxBB;

and:

They starting to look real close, but maybe a week I figgure. I started the flush tonight. I'll have to go figgure how many days to try this time. I'm pretty sure these plants are around 55 days in. Both are getting the full effects of center stage under the 1500 watter. Plants aren't but 2' tall max. Looking like 3 solid oz's off each. Till laters Keepem Green

 

[GigaGrew]

man you got it goin on brother!

this

and this

Almost brought a tear to my eyes....
I wanna grow like Norcali when i grow up! =)

 

[Vick074]

You got it goin on for sure wood!
That hash looks incredible!
It seems every time I come by this spot, I'm droppin a rep..

Could it be the fact that you know how to grow cannabis like a boss?
I'm gunna say YES.

 

[NorCaliwood]

Hell I wish I was the boss. We' all bend over backwards to finish these babies. We' being all of us that repeatably grow. I cant swear to this but I always seem to notice first timers luck with most first grows by a reasonable person who listens alittle. But after afew problems, like bugs or molds, most turn away from the hassle. Just the people who really enjoy it continue, and learn to bend backwards to the real boss.
Well fast update. Like I was saying earlier, some plants clone alot easier than others. I threw some SLH in the clone tray. Then 3 days later I cut some OG Kush. The SLH is rooting real slow, but the OG is ready to transplant allready. Hella difference. I don't think the OG missed a lick of veg time during the rooting process. Looks like I got 5 OG Kush clones going now. Don't ask me what I'm going to do with all these numbers. Guess I'll just have to weed out the worse for culling. Till later Keepem Green

 

[Buckshot]

Well I tried to rep you on the hash but I already blew it!! + reps!

 

[Vick074]

sniff sniff..
someone say OG Kush?

wiw!

 

[jandre2k3]

Dayummmm.... All that bubble hash! It's a beautiful thing... As you found out, many people say the 220 micron bag is good, but as I try to tell people, te 160 micron, or even 110 is much better. WAY less plant matter. Good looking stuff, though! I'd burn some with ya!

 

[THsea]

An ounce of hash!

Oh snap, contact high from the picture! Great stuff!

 

[miwa]

Now thats some good looking shit..3 ozs off a 2 ft plant ???

SLH is a slow rooter for me, too. She likes to make you work for it! Probably my slowest rooter so far - as far as cloning. Always comes around eventually though, and takes off once she gets started.

 

[NorCaliwood]

Hell, I guess I'm getting cabin fever alittle. Here I am thinking but spring and what I want to grow out there. After years of pondering over seeds, I think I found one to try. I mean it has the ability to become a monster. Leda Uno from KC Seed. And here I am thinking of spring and it's snowing out there.
Well after growing it out a 3rd time, I decided to cull the P-91 from my grows. Not that the plant doesn't have potential, it's yield could be higher, clones kind of rough, and I do have better strains growing. I still have one flowering for the last test run of it. I'm going to flower it abit longer this time, hopefully she'll win me over before I discontinue it. I can fit the OG right into it's spot. I'm trying to find like 5 strains to work with. And still have space for 1 or 2 tester plants.
Well I do have that Super Lemon Haze growing again. I really love the taste of this strain;

But there is always room to improve right? Maybe this will work. Cross the SLH with my Lemon Tree strain. Should really improve the flavor don't ya think? A match made in heaven? ;

Agreed Xlr. She is a slow starter like alot of the sativa strains, but she does clone. I have one in my veg tent for a mother now.
And thanks for the compliments on the hash Jandre, Gig, TH, Buck and all. My Old Lady loves it. It's got alot of the smaller buds off my harvests so, it's got the nice 'UP' high. Most of the small bottom buds are almost always harvested atad before their time, hence, the uppityness. Yea I got better product the second run using the next size down. But still got atad of plant matter in the product. I think next time I'm going to wear my glasses. I guess I'm shaking atad to long, pulverizing plant matter thru. I mean it's not like any biggie. I just want to see the best I can for my pipe. But it is great product. Just like anything, you got to tweak the process untill it works to your likings.
Well we Miss J has had alittle work to do. We harvested those 2 small plants. The Northern LightsXBig Bud is sure anice little plant. She flowered 8+ weeks and had some pretty flowers. Hey Miwa, she did alittle better than 3oz add close to another half;

But the down side, she's history. The weed tastes great. Picks ya up pretty fast, but NO legs, and drops ya off too fast. My rating puts this plant at 3.75 on 1-10 scale.
Well the other little girl Star-47 is still in my flower room and my veg room. She's been a decent plant I rate it like a 7.5 to a 8 outta 10. But some of my people ask for it by name. This one we just took has been in flower acouple days longer than the NLxBB. Around 60 days. Hopefully she rate a solid 8 this time. She's about 10-20% amber. Heavy ass solid buds and stcky, with a fruity smell;

I'm kind of hoping for 3 1/2 to 4 oz's off her. I really feel like this new light is really help pack on the flower weights. I've been running the 1500 watter with the rail moving it about 2' with that magum XXL hood over my plants that are farthest in flower. That hood throws out a great footprint. The other light isn't moving right now but it's running. I can see floor space now. But second string is on it's way. I'm leaning to trying the AK-47 orsome God bud in my next run. I have a Moby Dick ready now for flower along with a Cheese variant Thanks to Alaska. I always wanted to grow AK-47. Funny I haven't yet, seeing all the awards it's taken over the years. Well I'm going to now.
Speaking of the AK's, I got one growing in there. AKxSkunk from World of Seeds. I let her get alittle larger than the last 15 or 20 plants I've been growing lately. he's a pretty one. I see some massive buds starting. I just moved her under the 1500 watter acouple days ago. And I can see the growth. Some of these cola's are going to be at least a 1/2oz apiece;

Here's a cute little plant, White Widow. By cute I mean petite little plant. Shes around 16" tall and has a million bud sites on her. She didn't want to veg anylonger and started to flower so I let her;

Going to be another little one. I've grow WW afew times and the last one I did was one of them I wished I cloned. Hopefully I can catch a good plant to grow and clone out. So many seed breeders have been breeding this strain I feel it's just a matter of finding the right one. This ones from Green House.
Ok what else do we have. I have alot going on in there really. Vantage. I have one in flower that's about 3' tall. Shes flowering out fast. I also have 4 small Vantages going in 1 gallon pots in there. I want to see how it wood do in a sog type grow. But here's the larger one;

Ok I got another trial run with the Berkley Blues. I spent more time on it in the veg time, alot of toppings later and I got a round bush about 2' to start flowering. She should finish about 3 1/2'. Gave her a shot of Bush Masters and she's off;

I plan on giving her afew more days than my last try. The last BB I grew out is on the 1-10 scale, running 8.25.
Well want to thank anyone I might have missed. That's about it from the Dog House. I hope everyone out there in 420 a Happy and Safe Christmas and Holidays. Till next time Keepem Green
