Quest for mold-resistant strains, Hawaii outdoor greenhouse grow

I'm just wondering what changes from plant to plant other than the terps.. and I do think that non cannabinoids also play a roll in the whole experience.
I think cannabinoids in combination with terpenes are the main drivers of the effects. I don't know about the other compounds, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are also involved.

Like around 00's around here the trend started of this will make you less nauseous, or less paranoid or less palpitations... now are these just suggestions or were selections made but then this has to correspond to certain compounds being present or absent or in different ratios that increase or decrease these side effects.
I think THC potency combined with specific terpenes are bringing those negative effects. I feel like THC is the amplifier of effects, while CBD is the dampener. If there's enough CBD in the mix, the negative psychoactive effects will be moderated. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if there are other compounds involved.
 
CBD #9 clone in my DIY 5 gal Triforce SIP, day 13 in flower, 4 ft 4 in tall.

She's super healthy and buds are showing now. She's grown 10" in 10 days.

I built two more SIPs tonight... ready to roll! These are 100% HDPE #2 plastic. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to grow in them... choices are Humboldt Dream, Blueberry, Sweet Critical CBD (15%).
I say yes!

Which of course means you need to build a third so, better get on it!

I planted these up today with Sweet Critical CBD and Blueberry... pics soon. They were both a bit root bound in their 1 gal pots, but I think they'll take off. I put some myco in the hole.

I had exactly enough grow medium left for both SIPs, which means that the soil batch that I mix in my wheelbarrow is exactly enough for 5 SIPs! Well, let's see... 5 gal of compost soil, 5 gal of worm castings, 5 gal of coir, and 2 gal perlite. That makes 17 gal of the main mix. Then I take 2 gal of that and mix with 2 gal coir and 2 gal perlite to yield 6 gal of the "R zone" mix (where the roots are in the reservoir). So, that leaves 15 gal main mix, plus 6 gal of R zone mix, for a total of 21 gal.

Currently in my grow I've got 4 SIPs and 1 nursery pot (w/ same amount of soil as the SIPs). So, 5 x 5 gal = 25 gal. But the buckets are actually using about 4.4 gal of soil each (due to the domes and tubes). So, 4.4 x 5 = 22 gal. Hmm, I wonder why the 1 gal discrepancy?

Another factor is the volume taken up by the 1-gal up-potted plants, so that takes up 5 gal of space. So, the 22 gal is actually 22 minus 5 or 17 gal. Hmm, I must have used some of the soil for potting up clones! ... 21 minus 17 = 4.

Soooo... it looks like the 15 gal of main mix, and the 6 gal of R zone mix, is enough for 5 SIPs, with 4 gal left over.
 
Since this is pertinent to my thread, I am answering @Phillybonker here:

My plants are out in the forest with no cover from the rain and sometimes it can rain for 2 - 3 days non-stop in late bloom. If you can recommend anything preferably along the sativa lines that can handle those conditions I'm willing to put a few out to test them next season.
Gotcha. There are lots of sativas that are bud rot resistant. If you are OK with a long season one, there are some choices in the Haze category with large colas (more-or-less "all bud" type plants). The sativa pheno of SBR should be excellent... dunno the flowering time, but probably 8-10 weeks. Durban Poison would be a good bet, and some phenos may be better than others—best to get from a solid source. Humboldt Seed Company's Trainwreck would be a good bet, around 8-9 weeks flowering time. HSC also has a bunch of fast flowering sativas—my best guess on those would be Dream Queen with a 6-7 week flowering time, described as having skunk, pine, orange scent. Dream Queen is S3 seed... "extremely stable." It looks like it's got high pinene. Some phenos may also have significant ocimene. One of the parents of Dream Queen may be a better bet: Green Crack (Skunk #1 x Afghan). Some phenos of Green Crack have terpinolene dominant—that's the golden ticket.

EDIT: Jack Herer deserves a mention... I think a couple known phenos are strongly sativa, while also terpinolene dominant, and with high resin production. Another possible is Dutch Treat (sativa pheno)—some phenos terpinolene dominant, very high in pine terpenes, and very high resin production. One more I forgot to mention: The Slymer cut of Chernobyl, ~60% sativa. High resin production, terpinolene dominant plus pine terps.

I'll look into Dream Queen, Trainwreck, Green Crack and the Slymer cut of Chernobyl.

I'll start by trying and find a decent version of Green Crack which is strain I'm interested in.
 
Greetings Growmies & SIPsters,

Here's an update from the veg house yesterday...

Two new SIPs planted up—Blueberry clone (left), Sweet Critical CBD clone (right). They were a bit root bound in their 1 gal pots, but they'll do just fine. I still need to add their reflective/insulative wraps.

N-generation Seedsman Blueberry clone.

N-generation Sweet Critical CBD clone, from 00 Seeds. I've tested her out at 15% CBD.

Ready for the next SIP bucket (to be built today), an N-generation clone of my excellent Cherry Blossom CBD pheno #9. This is a little indica plant with high resin production that smells like grape candy.

Four clones of HI-BISCUS, less than a week in and looking very perky—I think the reason being, the moms are very healthy.
