Stick A Pineapple Where The Sun Don't Shine - In A Grow Box!

[Pat999]

Sup Santb, I get yer fella, been looking on the news lately at all this weather problems. You Aussies are burning, the Europeans are freezing their nuts smaller than a packet of raisins, in South Africa we have flooding up in Johannesburg and 45-50kmh winds in Cape Town. What has become of the weather. Your PC looks great man congrats on the harvest of those. Sucks about them shrinking but all is good with a bit of bud and beer hope you get some rest in, have a good day brother

Hey, guys.. Finally back.. Shoulda said last week that we've had it bad here; although more like a normal, albeit late-onset-summer.. Others around the joint have not been so lucky. Those in Sydney and Adelaide have been hammered. Last week I heard Burke was 44/45/46/47C. That is HOT!
Pat; good to see you, dude. You guys have the same-ish weather as us, so I feel for ya! Poor old Europe. I'd love to have snow to my knees right now.. Except those poor buggers in Italy.. That sucks.

The "shrinkage" problem is one common to all of us, I guess. Totally expected; never wanted! My total is gonna be around the 4 zip mark, maybe a bit under. Not earth-shattering, but I'll take it...
Gonna change a few things next grow: 1). Only 2 plants, with a longer veg. 2). GOTTA upgrade the ventilation!!! There's no longer any way to avoid the fact that I do not have enough air flow to cool my cab. 3). My light, as good as it is, is too damn big. Puts out way too much heat, which is, in my humble opinion, turning my cab into a sauna.
So I'm gonna disable one of the 3 arrays on the light (somehow), losing at least 30% of the heat. See if that helps any. I shouldn't lose any coverage; the light is supposed to be good for a 2x6ft footprint. If I lose the middle one, I should still have more than enough, if I keep the plants tied down, to cover the 2 plants.. So we'll see...

PS Any of you guys have any feedback on the following breeders.... World of Seeds: I wanna try their Afghan Kush Special.. Philosopher Seeds: Orange Candy sounds awesome! Royal Queen Seeds: Royal cookies; supposed to be from the original Girl Scout Cookies cuts, just a lot cheaper for some reason... And Eva seeds: They have some good looking strains; I wanna try TNT Kush. Any advice on these Breeders/Strains, positive or negative, would be helpful..

Pics!!

These are of the last Tut. Harvest, trim, then a few drying...
Then some root-ball shots of the previous plants, then some of the AH from last week.
If I can get the uploader to work, I have some shots from today of the AH...

Arjans Haze #1

Root-balls..

New AH pics from today..

So I'm not sure about this sativa.. Tons of white hairs left; not so many crystals, which is weird to me. Sativas not get many trichs???? That's what I've read. At least, some don't, anyway. She's getting fatter!! And still drinking. Anyway, I reckon at least another week-to-2 weeks... What do you guys reckon from these crappy photos..?

So, we're almost done here.. Won't start a new journal until the seeds have popped next time! Gotta come up with a new funny title!!
Cheers!

Of course the order of the TUT pics got mixed up. Why wouldn't they! I uploaded them in order, so of course they landed out of order.
Plus, I got the root-balls/AH wrong. But they are labeled in the post, so not too hard to work out....
You get the idea..

 

[Pat999]

Lovely looking harvest brother. Two plant idea is the way to go. If I had three in my tent there wouldn't have been any space left. Hope your day has been good and not too sweaty palms. Will be waiting for the new journal

Awesome harvest mate Never grown any of those brands you mentioned i do have a few world of seeds beans here to get to at some point, bought a pack of Wild Thailand with my last order and pretty sure i have their colombian gold too, maybe a few others Pretty sure Grizz has grown a couple from eva

 

[santb]

Cheers, Pat and Feral.
Fez; I'll have to ask Grizz.. They look pretty good, genetics-wise.. Not that I know much on that stuff, but Eva have some interesting strains.
Same with that Orange Candy. Sounds awesome. Your Wild Thailand is one I've been looking at for ages; can't quite pull the trigger on the 14 week flowering time! My AH is doing my head in already!! Looking forward to the true sativa experience, but I'm too impatient...

 

[GrizzWald]

Go Renegades.. looking great Santb...

 

[FeralA9X]

Yeah thats the reason i have not grown it yet im thinking of running it outdoors next year from seed, had too many issues going from clone indoors to plant outdoors Its defo something i wouldnt run if i didnt have space to run others to keep me busy during the long flower period, would do my head in waiting that long for a plant to finish up

 

[GrizzWald]

Santb, last week I brought 15 shark shock 15 nevils skunk 15 g13/skunk.. $97 shipping included.. herbies sells shark shock and g13/skunk $125 each, nevils skunk $150.. Ive turned into such a fanboy (which sucks ) have a look at mr nice seed lines, that's where you'll get what your after.. it takes some research though. don't get confused at four different lines that read the same in breeding..

 

[GrizzWald]

Haven't heard the best about world of seeds Thai, be interested to see how goes for you, I've looked at it lots, then read to many threads..

 

[FeralA9X]

I have not heard much about them, i have not exactly gone looking though as i know if i do it probably wont get a grow has to be something decent in there, will probably drop a whole heap of them in and pick the best at least if i grow it outside i still have plants going indoors if it turns out to be a waste of time

I also highly recommend MNS, basically where all the strains started out if you ask me, the originals Creators of White Widow, SSH and many other premium genetics, a lot of their names you may not have heard of but they were changed due to copies, for example Black Widow = White Widow, Medicine Man = White Rhino, La Nina = El Nino, Shit = Skunk#1 etc etc

 

[GrizzWald]

Yep, original p1 stock, actual % to find the truely exceptional keepers, not the needle in the haystack that we have beeen playing with.. there's other great breeders also, doing great things.. I noticed alot are using something of mns, lol...

 

[FeralA9X]

and they dont keep it secret either, most are named "Mr Nice" best thing about it is no hermies, unless forced of course only a few more hours on the auctions, hoping i win another 2 today so i can pay for them

 

[GrizzWald]

What you got? I'm winning three, I'll defiantly win one, walkabout, other two are starting to go up..

 

[FeralA9X]

im on ASH and Early Queen

 

[GrizzWald]

Don't want to push you up on anything, lol.. Ive been bid out of most I really wanted, mango haze and doors.. I'm on angels breath and the Stones... I'll go up on angels breath if The Stones goes and vice versa..

 

[FeralA9X]

Yeah im the same mate i had about 5 low bids on but have been outbid on most, main focus is ASH, if i pick up early queen cheap enough ill grab it

 

[GrizzWald]

Im watching that mango widow too, if that doesn't go up worth a play. I just want a mango x

 

[FeralA9X]

The Nevils haze mango looks good but no auctions of it this time around, the one to get would be the Mango Haze Inbred from shanti's private stash Im sure i could arrange some of my mango seeds to make their way down there at some point, just want to drop a couple more to make sure it wasnt just a phenotype theres about 650 of them seeds

 

[GrizzWald]

Angels breath be really good to get, mango haze x afghan haze.. only 650 damn mate if they look like that last pic you put up and taste like mangos, yes please can't imagine how much nevils haze mango would go for.. nevils haze is priced higher than buy know and super silver haze is priced at $225, the highest bids came up in my bidding history..
