Stanks Go Perpetual In 2018!

[Tony Urban]

I can’t get over these. I keep scrolling up and down the page. Frost monsters.

Great pics of really healthy youngsters. Love seeing young beauties. Many ignore that stage. That African is something else....double take when I saw how many days. Great job Van.

 

[BobbyZ]

Wow, super nice looking plants. I’m gonna have to see them finish.

 

[Van Stank]

Dude. That is off the charts. I don’t have even know what I would do with all that. I don’t have enough containers in the house.

Thanks Urb. I think I have enough but I might need to pick up another case of jars cause that Meltdown is gonna fill up anything left over. Cheers brother!

Phenomenal Van! Those things are beautiful, and to keep them so healthy all the way through you definitely got it goin on!

Thanks LH! The soil is definitely on point with that batch. I gotta get another batch like that. Forgetting my Mg on this batch has me chasing my tail a little bit which I don't like LOL.

I’m speechless. Carry on!

Impressive!!

Thanks Orlando, nice to have you over here as well. I believe its the first time I've seen ya in the perpetual. Grab a seat, lots of Cheesy Poofs courtesy or Penny.

Very nice looking girls bud! That African Meltdown is a frostitue for sure!

Thanks Yeti, good to see ya brother! Yeah she is definitely a frostitute !! But she has a ways to go to catch the BCP or the Hindu in the frost department. I might have to steal that one from ya!

 

[Van Stank]

Yeah that one was worthy of all that stuff!

 

[Van Stank]

...had a puff before the photo op didn'tchya!?......lookin' spectacular!......cheerz...hook......

Actually I wasn't high at all. Didn't smoke tonight until about 6pm. That was some sober shooting there. Its easy to get carried away when shooting pics of a fat, stinky, hairy girl!

I love the looks of the AF. Beautiful just beautiful. Well done Stanks

Thanks Derby! She has been a favorite of mine for a while now. I gave her a massive hair cut today. Totally cleaned up the undercarriage. She looks a lot better and should get better light in her last month.

Hey Van, was curious as to how many days you thought the MBP progresses your bud maturity? Do you find the breeders time to be more accurate since incorporating it?

I hate to be one of those guys that pulls early, but I really feel like my last 2 plants have been perfectly ripe on the very lowest of the breeders recommendation! Could that be? Maybe @bobrown14 would be able to pitch in a little as well?

Sorry I missed this earlier LH. Well I have backed off the MBP in recent plants. I definitely saw faster development than I expected when I used it. Enough so that I wanted to run a few more plants through without it to see if things slowed back down a bit. Seems like my times have gone back more to align with the breeder.

I am going to run a real experiment with it when we get settled in the new house. I plan on running clones off the same mom and see what the difference is. I won't do anything different between the two and I think that will give me a good idea of the real difference. Perhaps I will do it with two sets of clone.

BL, great to see you again brother. Hope all is well with your garden.

I love the young girls (shut up perverts). I have to fight the urge to take pics of them every day when they are in their first few weeks. And yeah that African is definitely holding its own next to the Black Cherry Punch.

 

[Van Stank]

Wow, super nice looking plants. I’m gonna have to see them finish.

Thanks Bobby! Only about 2 weeks left on her! Recruited some help to chop her down!

Now Van, you know that the BCP is my fave and the fade on the leaves is like a New England forest in October, but this pic of the African Meltdown is what makes me glad you didn't have a candidate this month. It's not always quantity that wins, structure matters too. I mean, look at this pic...stunning!

 

[Tony Urban]

That was my initial thought too. POTM

Wonderful garden!

African Meltdown Flip Day 34, Day 28 With Hairs

Talking about monsters, this one got a working over today. I trimmed a lot of lower stuff off her that couldn't break through that thick canopy. I also removed about half the fan leaves opening her up for much better light penetration. She didn't need a drink today so perhaps tomorrow she will get a gallon of rain water.

She continues to bulk up and frost up nicely. Smells are kind of all over the place and I can't put a finger on it other than to say she smells good. I had to add a couple bamboo stakes to some of the colas that were wanting to start flopping over. I have plenty of bamboo so its a problem I welcome!

Not sure what the flowering time is on the strain so I am approaching it blind. I figure at least another 30 days.
Black Cherry Punch update to follow.

Some of the best flowers I've seen in a while. Great job.

Cheers

 

[dynamo1]

gorgeous

 

[Neiko]

Beautiful update Van. You're doing an amazing job with both those. You got way more color out of the BCP than I did. I had a few leaves go purple but the buds were green, it looks like you have purple flowers too. I think you need to replicate that soil in a hurry, you definitely have it dialed in.

 

[MackMcMacMac]

I can’t get over these. I keep scrolling up and down the page. Frost monsters.

Me too! Sooooo gorgeous. I'm so impressed with the health of your plants! They're getting exactly what they need. You're inspiring me to do better!

I agree. 'Photo of the Month' right there. Look at it! I can't get over this. I loved your Harlequins, but the African Meltdown and the Black Cherry Punch are my two favorites of your grows so far.

 

[NaturalSpirit]

WOW just amazing! so many pics almost made it a small bud-porn movie LOL.

Do you have a clue when you get the lab results? im really curious for those

Dude. That is off the charts. I don’t have even know what I would do with all that. I don’t have enough containers in the house.

This was exactly my tought... like where could i stuff all that...

 

[Van Stank]

Thanks everyone. To say we are pleased with how the BCP and the Meltdown have turned out is an understatement.

Thanks for the opportunity to grow that BCP @neikodog. I am glad that we have done her justice. We absolutely love the colors she is putting out in these New England fall days!

 

[Killerbudz]

Yeesh man, all the plants you put out look like promo photos for the breeders
