Our Ongoing Grows

Sorry about all the catch up comments. Haven't visited in about 5 days! Change of plans on my room. It will be tent city for the time being, until we figure out a time frame on moving. I will be talking to you today my friend. Time to hit the web and do some shopping. Call you this afternoon, unless you get this first and feel like calling me. later
 
Alot of different stuff out there to make femitized seeds. As this is my first rodeo I went with the store bought Xlr8 said up there.
Man such words, thanks GiG. We all try. i've been having a pretty good run this grow. Least I haven't had to shut down in a long time. Hell I can't even guess how many plants and strains I grown out this grow. I do have my couple strains that have been growing on me. I wish there was a better way to acquire them tho such as the Cripit. I really like it for sleep or my family guys reruns. And she fairs well here in Oregon. A major plus.
Send ya a wave there GT, you know Pop's, this is my first rodeo with AK-47. I've grown alot of variants of it in the past. Hell most plants have that AK genetics in them, but the 47 is suppose to be special. Serious Seeds put it on the map and it hasn't left yet. But yes they are costy. And they use to onley have regular seeds, still not sure if they have fem seeds out yet. But I'll get some pictures of it up pretty soon. And them casinos aren't even giving me a reach-around anymore. OH well..........
Xlr8, you know if you take your time in the drying procress, like closing you box if drying to fast ect, you get where ya can feel when it's got just enough to keep it fresh. I'm lucky, most strains I have seem to store pretty good. I mean I keep them in a cabinet in the cool garage. Three things degrade thc, ultra violet light, 'sunlight', heat, and alcohol or fats. But them seal-a-meals can work wonders keeping things fresh. LOL just don't put full vacumum on good weed or you end up with a solid ass brick of crushed trichomes. Been there done that...
Hey sHEMP. Got some happy heathy clones up and going for ya. I tried with the SLH but it didn't like the dome with my other clones. I'll figgure it out in awhile I really want to keep this one alive for afew grows and see where she'll lead. Isn't anything like the last SLH I did. None of the lemon smell. What she does have is a 'Strong Ass' hash smell. The 'Haze' smell. I plan on starting another so I can get the lemon pheno also, but this one a gem. Looks like sHEMP's going to be starting out in a 4X4 tent under a 600 watter to flower. He also has a 4' T-5 light for vegging. Still need all the little things, fans, thermometer, timer, ect ect. And we need to get your grow started. Thinking 5 plants first time around. I'm pretty sure he's going to be suppling a family members with meds for the lights. That lucky fool is moving out on a sail boat. I'd still be growing. Just have to adapt to growing on a boat.
Hey Holerdigger, that ID reminds me of my gorilla grower days. Sneaking around digging holes and filling them up with good topsoils. Be awhile since i've been able to do that. Man it was fun, till ya get ripped off. And I've seen that more than once. That God Bud plant is looking good. I've grown out some other stock from BC in the past. I'm hoping for better resukts this time. I tried their Sweet Tooth and Burmese. Didn't care for them myself. I know I've grow a Sweet Tooth before I really loved. Theirs wasn't it. That cross with OG might be something nice. I do like the Kushs too. i got afew OG's I'm just fixxing to flower out myself. And afew new strain of it to try too. I'm nervously awaiting a seed to break ground of Skywalker Og Kush. I mainly have great results on germination rates. It can get costy trying a strain. Hard to order 1 seed if you really want it your going to need two. Then hopefully you get the pheno your looking for.
Well whats new here? Not alot. Still dealing with some nutrient problems. Could be in the roots even as cold as its been on the babies. But I did spray with some a Thrive-Alive Tonic from Thecnaflorla. Great stuff. Funny I got 13 clones in there doing 100% rooted and happy, then I cut 5 SLH and they aren't doing really well. I'm going to have to make this mother plant alittle happier then she might throw some clones off. It's been alittle chilley for a Haze out there, and she shows it. But here's what I have in the ways of problems. Looks like could be a combo of P and K deficiency. So in the last feeding I had Miss J throw a shot of Awesome Blossoms in the mix. That's been a great product for me for the last few years, the Thecnaflora Line. But this is what I have;

and;
007796.JPG

Got to rememeber, I have very low PPM count from my tap water, under 50. I do add cal-mag, but from what I understand, cold temp's at the root zone and calcium levels mess with the K uptake. Just got my order in the mail of a greener upper. Stuff called Insta-Green. It runs 3-0-0. I figgure to sprayem down with this afew time over the next couple days. For some extra nitrogen, I do see hungry plants out there. I'm just hoping that Awesome Blossoms works. Oh yea I guess it's safe enough to call this alive. Bubblious seedling;
Ok whats else is new???????????

BTW Holerdigger, this is my first rodeo with God Bud. The research I've got is up to 10 weeks for the God Bud, but depending on your OG strain you are looking at around 60-65 days there about. Now this is all guessing but. The onley way to really know when it's done is grow it out. Keep records, least dates and strains. After you grow the same plant afew times it get easy to see what they need, like more or less food, things like that. I'm likeing the plant so far. I mean she's got along ways to go yet, and she's looking sweet all ready.
I do happen to have a new pic of her under MH lighting. God Bud;

Great looking plant. She's not going to be a monster but should be great for a sample grow and see what shes all about. Till laters everyone and anyone I might miss, Keepem Green
 
Nice pics as always, Wood. God Bud looks like it'll be good for sure!

On the vacuum sealing: I agree about crushing them up... when I vacuum seal my buds, I vacuum seal them in mason jars, so they're still not being squeezed, but the jar has a massive vacuum pressure inside and no air. Foodsaver has an affordable/cheap attachment for vacuum sealing the jars, and it's the bees knees for storing bud you're not going to use right away. Best $15-20 I've spent in a long time!
 
Outstanding as always Wood!
You got me excited about my Ambrosia seeing that God bud.
 
Hey Wood...glad to hear you two got a bubblelicious going...just smoked a joint of one and it's great .....As you said trying just one seed is hard to find great pheno but both types i found were great :thumb: Just keep the indica pheno with it's fat heavy buds and short plants..As always things all look super there keep up the great work you two :peace:
 
Just keep the indica pheno with it's fat heavy buds and short plants :peace:

I KEPT the indica.....just reread what i wrote and it sounded like i was tellling you which to keep LOL....I think you would keep them both as you like the sativa and got bush master and the green house.
I hope to have a green house going this year as well my friend....my budget is 0 so i guess this year it wil be frosted plastic and 2x4's :passitleft:
 
Thanks everyone for the words. Well I'm losing hope for the Skywalker OG Kush I started. It was a slow starter and that always worries me. I do have another bean from it to try if this one fails. I am also waiting on acouple other new strains to push up out the soil. And they seem to be lagging also. All good, I have alot of strains to try out.
I'll say one this about my little Frankenstien thing I got going, none of the flowers have opened yet. I see alot of them drying up abit and looks like some are halfway open. I'm kind of dissapointed in the strain I used for this experiment. I mean the Vantage Pheno isn't all that. Kind of pisses me off after all the bragging and all about Vantage and I'm not saying shes bad weed but shes been alot better. I have to grow out acouple more and hopefully I'll get the right one again. I'm thinking of scraping this run, and call it a learning lesson. I do have another bottle of that spray for the next time, And I'll have to just grow afew others out and find the just right father. It's not worth going to much further with this one. I might try getting some pollen and trying just one flower to see if this stuff produces viable pollen. One thing about being a gardener, you really don't have to rush for much of anything. A stoners dream.
You know it couldn't hurt Xlr8. I see some kits on e-bay for 25$ or so. I reckon that's what your talking about. I can see where they could be perfect. You know way back when I use to put out some larger harvests. We always seasoned and cured our herbs, then we used that seal a meal vacuum but just enough vacuum to get the air out. Dude I can't get that vision of a green brick I did with some real sticky ass bud. Compressed it close to hash. You needed a hammer to bust it up.
I tell ya Vic that God Bud is going crazy with sparkle. Just 2 days made a be difference in her sparkle I'll have to get another pic up of her soon. I did see acouple mites on her. So I used alittle Mitey Wash. We were just enjoying the hell out of her. One pretty plant. I do have a OG starting to flower in there.
Good to see ya still up and going there A-1. Bubblious, She's happy and heathy. Takes topping real well so far. And even tho she's still small she's getting alittle appetite for food already. I also have another I'll be posting pic's of soon. A Chronic variant Fruity Chronic Juice. Shes a fat little bugger. And she also seems to love being messed with. Topping ect.
Hey A-1 the best weed I ever grew was under white frosted fiberglass panels on the roof. And yellow on the walls. I'm going to see if I can get a pic or two later tonite. I hope all are doing great out there. Keepem Green
 
Thanks Hozona for the rep's. It's sure fun to surf around and see what others are growing out.
Afew people here at 420 recomended me trying a Moby Dick plant. Well she's starting to look pretty good right about now. I read in a HighTimes they rated the auto Moby Dick in the top ten strains last year. I still laff think about a job resume for working the the new State Jobs for legal marijuana, as for education, does 30+ years growing, and reading High Times since it first started, sound good on it? DUH Being stoned makes you answer to hey stupid just alittle slower. But i did get a sample bud off her tonite. She's getting close. One more heavy feeding and it's in its flush cycle. I try to flush 5 days min. Well here she's is atad early but Moby Dick;

and a shot of the tric's;

Well that's about it from here for a minute or two oh wait I have one other pic to post up. She that Fruity Chronic Juice;
chronic16.JPG

I'll keep updating here as things evolve. I'm going to cut the Vantage Male tonite. Isn't no sense in going further with it.
Well till laters Keepem Green
 
Hey there Pop's She's looking good. Real sticky and looks like a pretty good yield. Maybe 5+oz's. Getting a complex smell from her now. I think shes on day 61 of flower now and I plan on starting tonite with 30 mills of clearx then 8-10 gallon flush with tap water. Then heavy straight tap till harvest. Some times I throw some 'sweet' into her in these last days. Like molasses or sweet berry. It seems to help keep the oil levels high. And I like to harvest at first light. Terpenes levels are highest in the mornings for most flowers, stands to reason if you want the best smells that when to take her.
I'm still drooling over the God Bud. Man she looks sick. Hopefully I'll get acouple good pictures of her before the cut. But she's throwing out trichomes like they going out of style. I'll let y'all be the judge of that. God Bud at day 35 I think;

This God Bud and the next photos were gifted me from a friend. I can see this is going to be a great plant also, AK-47. She's the same day as the God Bud but nowhere near as far along. But she's starting to look real good. I noticed this plant seems to drink up the cal/mag. It's a shame I didn't save the cutting from it. Believe it or not, talking of shame, looks like I did it again, fried my seeds. Bummer I thought it was cool enough in my clone tray. Thought was key word. I need to stop this. What a waste. And I just got one of the thermostates for the seedling mats from Super Sprouter. Well next time I'll have it set up. Really isn't any need for a heating pad with seeds. As long as it 65-up degrees ambeint temps. Well AK-47;

Ok enough for now. I hope everyone gardens are doing great out there. Keepem Green
 
my god cross og are in their 42 day of bud. snow white buds last feeding last night now to flush figure another 14 days or so no ambour yet and still growing small flowers on lower levels no yellow of leaves still happy and healthy .going to take these as long as i can to get max return
 
Well time to throw a update out there. I'm thinking of spring once again. I've been thinking about trying to grow two complete harvests off one plant again this year. My veg tent has had lites on 24/7 thru the winter. It's my heater in other words. Well I have a Berkley Blue in there, well I plan on keeping lites on atleast 20/4 till spring, then at the earliest possible time throw her in the greenhouse. Days will be real short, like 13 hours which will send my plants into flower. After 45 days I should have useable product, even if only hash or butter products. Then let her reveg, and flower normal in the fall. I'm thinking of the Berkley Blue because she has real sparse leaves which can come in handy for all that crazy ass leaf growth you get with the reveg. Well it's still early and I'll probably change my plans atleast a hundred times before spring.
I hear ya Hozona. You know thats what I really love about the perpetual indoors grows, planed right you can harvest once or twice a week. On the other end side of growing, outdoors, you mainly just get to cut flowers once per year, but those harvests are the most impressive yields.
Miwa I don't think I'll have trouble getting it sampled, the trouble will be getting the sampler to leave for acouple days. Naw but we all do have alot of friends durning harvest time don't we?
Holerdigger you should start you a journal here. Great ways to keep track of what you got going on. I was looking at what ya said about your plants. I've not grown God Bud before but with this one I see she really loves the food. My OG's loved food also. What I'm saying is as fast as these strains are going to finish, like 8 weeks on the average, and being strains that love to eat, myself I'd figgure they are really going to be throwing out trichomes and plant matter right up till the last few days, so I'd keep pouring them food as long as posiable. She could give ya alot more goodies in that extra week of feeding. 5 days to a week of flush works great with anything I've ever grown, just pour it on if you got alot of salt buildup.
Thanks Xlr8. I got to agree with ya this time.
Well fast update on the Moby Dick. She's day 62 I just looked and I threw acouple more gallons of straight water threw her again tonite. I did take a sample bud off her again. the first sample seems like good herb but it was quick dried on my top shelf, so I can't call it a sample at all really. Nothing is a real sample till cured. but I did get acouple pic's of her to show off alittle. She's turning yellow in the leaf department, and the tric's are swollen and 100% cloudy with the odd amber here and there. Afew more days and she'll be ready. This is one of the secondary buds off her.

She's a oily plant. Complex smells I can detect the White Widow in her strongly. Well that's it for now till later everyone Keepem Green
