Stanks Switch It Up In 2019

Thanks, Van!!

I'm looking forward to seeing her fatten up. I started my new journal.

It's great chatting with the crew again.

Sup PW!

Sup InTheShed!

I’m learning as I go with these long flowering sativas. Definetly a different animal.

They are definitely a different beast! The smoke is so worth the time it takes......assuming you have the space to make it work! The Panama Haze was one of my favorite sativas I've ever grown. The smell of her after she burned was unique too....smelled really good. Most weed just smells like smoked weed....she smelled special.

One is all you need of that beauty!

Are you still brewing your ACT for top dressing?

LOL! He used to get this question a lot!

And you answer it politely every time.:thumb:

As soon as I saw it in the pic, I thought to myself "I wonder if anyone will ask about the bottles". I figured that they might as the names I see in the likes are a lot different than they were a year or two ago.

And thank you Shed, I kind of enjoy having to answer it again. I remember it used to be asked about ever week or two....then it was every couple months. I missed them I guess LOL.

I haven't done any ACTs in a long time....no particular reason other than laziness I guess. I really should brew one up, it used to be a regular thing.

The Sativas have that old school taste and high I grew up on. Takes me back to my childhood. Lol

Ive been smoking the hell out of that outdoor Super Silver Haze. I really enjoy that stuff....love the haze taste. The ATF we run has that old school haze flavor as well.
 
I got a Simply Irresistible from an old member here and it’s supposed to be Frankencense. If it is I’ll be one happy grower. I have one I’ll keep as a mother and one I’ll flower.
 
Oh I know why I haven't brewed any......No EWC. I mixed up this years soil early this summer and then in the middle of the summer I mixed another 100 gallons. I used the last of my EWC at that time and I don't fit in well with society during this pandemic so I don't venture out into public places where I have to interact with 'others'. I keep meaning to order some online but I don't want to pay the prices they charge. So it might not be a very good reason, but I do have a reason LOL.
 
Sounds like a good reason to me! What are you top dressing with these days?

I picked up a bucket of this for the outdoor grow when a few of the girls looked like they were losing steam.

I originally got samples of this from Oscar of Mosca Seeds at one of the canna shows out here. I loved how my plants responded to it when I kept them in smaller pots for too long so I bought some. Its one of the few products that I have used that I will buy in a minute. Now having said that.....I am attempting to make my own version of their product to use since I have most all of the amendments listed on the chart. I use the veg up until about day 30 of flower if I need to top dress. They have a bloom product too but I didn't see any noticeable change to the plants when I used the samples so I can't recommend that. I see better reaction from my plants using Seabird guano, kelp, and some gypsum and Epsom Salt, so no need to waste my money on their bloom stuff.

Well your plants don’t appear to be suffering for it that’s for sure.
 
I'm definitely a fan of the oldschool Purple Haze or Haze cross smell and taste.

I'm looking forward to growing ATF, and DTF.

Thank you Fudu. I've found the key to everything for me is my soil getting sufficient cook time in warm enough temps. Once you get your soil recipe dialed in a cooked up right, the plants go on cruise control.

Watch the stretch on the ATF, and Stankberry if you run that one. The DTF doesn't seem to stretch like the others for whatever reason.

I’ve been catching up on everything Stank since that post and picked up some thoughts...

mom took 45 days in flower to really start showing any real pistils, while this one was showing well set budlets around day 2

Yeah I know, I have run their panama haze and panama, but none were as slow as this, The Panamas were right around 30 days each respectively. I think this one boiled down to a plant that was very slow in reaching sexual maturity.

The biggest issues with the equatorial sativas is they often don't reach sexual maturity until almost 90 days old. So changing light schedule will do nothing to trigger flowering in a sexually immature plant. It ain't gonna do anything flowering wise until it reaches its sexual maturity. This is often why the clones supposedly flower out faster, they have usually reached sexual maturity during the rooting process and whatever veg time we give them. The reality is the actual flowering time is often the same. Its one of the reasons I like to track days from flip to pistils on plants from seed. I don't generally see any difference in flowering times between clones and the seeds they came from, but I usually veg longer than most growers so most likely the plant from seed is a sexually mature plant. The only time this hasn't been the case is with the equatorial sativas. I gave this Golden Tiger an extra 2 weeks in veg over the Panamas when I vegged them thinking it would allow them to reach sexual maturity before flipping. Apparently this was just a really slowly maturing plant

I’m thinking outside has a significant effect on that as well. I grew a Lilly that cancelled out its fast flowering time by taking another 5 weeks to initiate flower than all the other plants (some were sativas too - but highland ones, not equatorial).

I started to track the time-space between flip and pistils emerging in the tips a while back too - to help me get a record of how long different varieties take to get going once the light changes. It varies quite a bit sometimes.

. Using when the plant starts throwing alternating nodes as when it has reached sexual maturity is usually a good indicator that the plant is sexually mature. BUT....it does not apply to the equatorial sativas. Hence the slow flowering plants from seed of the equatorial varieties.

Yes. This is what I look for too.

But :hmmmm: a Panama from Ace I that grew inside recently was done 12/12 from 2weeks old and started fully flowering before it had alternating nodes. I was a bit baffled, and am still not sure what to make of it. Lol!

Fully - my partner was blown away when we were harvest trimming the Panama... eyes glazed over... “takes me straight back to 1986...!” :love:
