Stanks Go Perpetual In 2018!

Yep :goodjob::bravo::thumb::welldone:


Nailed that big ol Bertha! Gonna get the dehumidifier running today? Lol apparently I hit 90 and 90 at some point in the last 24 hours.... never seen 90% humidity in the tub:eek:. Got 2 stank clones though so hopefully I can revenge and avenge this round lol.

How soon do you think you will try the VC? Your plants always look so nice and healthy. I know I'm looking forward to trying dirt soon. You make it look so easy!

Have a great day van and miss stank!
 
Well I hooked up the dehumidifier today. RH in the flower tent was over 70. Did the updates for the Widow and Hindu and its just too muggy even with the fans moving a ton of air. Gonna give it to 4pm and then see what the RH in the tent is. Its a small dehumidifier so I am not expecting a ton of results from it....but even 5% will help at this point. We will see!

I need help from Ms Stank or someone else to 'harvest' my VC soil minus the worms. Might try to do it this afternoon and then use the worms to start seeding the other bins!

I know soil is very intimidating for a lot of people Dabber. But if you get the soil dialed in, there is no easier way to grow than in organic soil. I gave them ACT for the first times in about a month, it was all plain rain water I collected during that time. No pHing, no anything...just dump some water in the pot and walk away. I am going back to just rain water for another couple weeks. I am going to get around to building my gravity fed irrigation system for flower and then things will really be easy.
 
White Widow Flip Day 37, Day 27 With Hairs

The girl is starting to eat her leaves at this point. Usually find it starts happening about 30 days into flower (dependent on the strain). The girls start to get a little uglier as they start to pack on the weight. Picked up the pot, but she isn't ready for any water yet. Will give her a drink tomorrow.

Not a ton of frost on this girl which kind of surprises me. Not thinking she will live up to her strain name. The Hindu is 10x frostier than this Widow. I know she still has time.....so we will see. Buds are starting to swell a bit. Gave her the final top dressing of EWC, ground malted barley, Neem/Karanja cake, some more Glacial Rock Dust and Basalt minerals, and some Kelp Meal. This should keep the herd happy for the next month.

Sorry about the haziness of the pictures. I guess its so hot and muggy outside its effecting the inside air! LOL.












 
Hindu Kush Flip Day 33, Day 23 With Hairs

Ms Stanks girl is rolling along nicely. I moved her around today to try and take some pictures and had a lot of those long colas flop around a bit and started to lean. So I got a couple 4' poles and stuck them in the pot and tied the flopping colas up to it to try and keep her looking good.

She is producing an incredible amount of frost and is smelling really good. Ms Stank top dressed her girl with all the goodies for the home stretch. We have a couple of these colas that are about a good foot long. Hopefully she will fatten up!





















 
I have a lot of catching up to do. But just wanted to say I hope you feel better brother. Excited to check in on the garden.
I’m way behind too lol
 
I did increase the amount of Neem that i used for the last bath by just a little bit. Didn't seem to like it but I can't say how pleased I am with the results of this technique, just gotta perfect the amounts and timeline for letting the Neem in the bath dry or settle in.

Glad I am feeling better as well. Was running a fever near 102 for a while but I think I have it beat. Was only running 99-100 yesterday.
Have you heard of horse tail van stank ? Great for silica and also foilar sprayer .

I’m going to grown out a nice Hindu Kush one day . Very well done buddy
 
We have final weights on the Northern Lights after 10 days of drying.

Talk about close....really close!

Without factoring in some testers I have set around, we have a grand total of 453.77 grams. It takes 453.59 grams for a pound.......so we have just barely hit that fateful mark!!! I knew it was gonna be close!
:D:D:D:goodjob:
 
I have but I can never find it here. We are always on the lookout for it!!
So there are multiple types of horse tail.

I found mine by a lake here in town . It’s all over . Let me see what I have for info I found . If you were in Canada I would send you some . After I see how it performs of course . Need to test this myself first . But I sprayed the other day I boiled a pot of water let it cool for few mins then added my collections findings to pot let it sit in it all night strained in am into foilar sprayer and sprayed before sunrise came up. They also say if you can collect it at sunrise the horse tail the better but unsure of logic there or reasoning let me see if I can share where I got my info from. Hate mites pest wish them upon no man or woman ✊


Here are few things for ya mr stank .


 
Well I can't speak for what the standard breeding practice is Dabber, but I can give you two answers to your F5 question. First one is they grew out a bunch of F4 seeds and selected the male or males and the female or females (many breeders will use multiple males and females for genetic diversity or whatever reason) and do an open pollinate among them all. Not an uncommon practice at all

Another option will be to keep working a F4 female that you like and cross it to the original male of the line.

I don't know a whole lot that do much reversing to further the F generation. Honestly I would imagine if you asked 10 different breeders out there, you would get at least a few different answers to how they work their lines (if they even do.....as we all know they love to create new strains but rarely work them past F2s).
Man it can be overwhelming takingvthis Cross mixed with that s1 f1 guess once you knwo it you think nonthi g of it though study harder joe lol
 
Here is a small tester......this literally was the difference in hitting a pound or being just under it!

Congrats man that is huge ✊
 
I do it like that but for the 2-1 I wrap em in foil and bake in oven @250 then unwrap and mop for the 1 or until separation. Alway delish and never dry. Stank got a good method that works every time. Man I love ribs.

Congrats on your harvest Stank - that bud looks tasty too. Bud rot... I hate that as bad as mites. As much as I hate sayin this, mites can wash off. Prefer to not have to deal with it. Why I don't run much this time of year.

Try Horsetail fern tea sprayed on in veg to mid way in flower. Kills the spores. Mold can happen in a heart beat when it gets humid. Right now here, the dew point is about the same as the outdoor temps at night so think walking in soup. Yuk. Plants suffer in this shit. I start sweating just thinking about it.

Lots of fires every where. Prayers out the to firefighters and to the folks living in the danger zones. Cali and Ontario getting hit hard. :Namaste:
Yup parry sound , Ontario forest fire for two weeks my wife said crazy they can’t get it under control and apparently there was smoke near us we are about two hrs away from parry sound . Crazy scary times ✊
 
Awesome job Van! Beautiful plants...sorry about the BCP, depending on the name "brand", that neem can be some pretty potent stuff!

That Hindu is looking magnificent though! Hope the white widow lives up to her name for ya!

Had something else to comment on but I've done forgot :hmmmm:....:roorrip:

Good luck to the both of you and keep it up, your killin it brother!

Have some of this LA while you take a break, we know you deserve it :passitleft:

Congratulations, to me that plant was picture perfect, thanks for sharing.
