All the best with it SweetestofSues

It’s first thing Saturday for me... just before 5am actually. It’s the weekend so that means... it’s time for a SweetSueDay!!!


Golden Tiger x Northern Lights
It’s vwry very good in my opinion - I’m extremely happy to say I grew and cured myself the best weed I have ever consumed... what a happy happy thing.

Sue, I’ve been finding acces to that joy that’s always there a bit more easily again lately. Went through a quite a dark patch there (guess it’s understandable when such a bad health dip happens). But even in the darkest moments I am aided by the access to joy that comes through on your words

This GTxNL tastes so fuggin amazing, honestly, a few weeks ago my mouth started tingling just while I was grinding it up and when I went to hit from the vape, I totally drooled on it! My taste factory was going nuts! It leaves the taste of chocolate caramel coffee in my mouth all day after vaping...

My neighbor and fishing buddy only wants to go catching not fishing.

My neighbor and fishing buddy only wants to go catching not fishing.

I’m the opposite, once it turns from fishing to catching the fun stops and the work starts. I’ve even “forgot my pole” and had a great day fishing.

 

[MagicJim]

You know m'lord, I can't believe sometimes that at the age of 64 I can say I've never been fishing. Not once. Weird. Just wrong on some level, eh?

Wrong on a bunch of levels.

The clones are being fed half strength what the DDAs are getting. I’m not interested in vigorious growth, just enough to clone.

Royal Cookies gave me pause for a few days, looking so yellow I thought I’d lose her. New growth looks encouraging.

Devil’s Carnival is the most aggressive chemovar I grow. Lol! She’s been topped twice in the past week and nothing slows her down.

Mendocino Underdog #2 got switched to bottles nutrients today when I fed her what was left of the diluted RX Technologies mix. She’ll either thrive or die. I just wanted to see if I could keep her alive in a solo cup with soil. I don’t have high expectations.

Mendocino Underdog #2

Red Diesel somehow forgot what she was doing and started throwing out single-blades leaves. I can wait her out.

She get the Mega Crop nutrients, this week at 2 grams per gallon of water. She seems to be taking to it with no effort, if she can work out her confusion.

When I went to check the cuttings I discovered the wooden clothespins I used were molding. Duh!

Mold

• SweetSue
• Jul 13, 2018

They were removed, and then I replaced the containers. As convenient as they at they’re offgassing something that’s poisoning my cuttings. A little disappointed, to be honest, and more than a little cautious to store any foodstuffs in these containers.

There are reasons I almost never shop at Wally World.

Weekly Update: The tiny closet - Friday, July 13, 2018

I’m playing cannabis Tetris almost daily with these two. So far I’m keeping the canopy consistent. Thank goodness Hash Hound cut me so many pieces of 2x4.

The girls are both receiving feedings of 10ml of Parts A&B with 4 ml of Energy for every gallon of water used.

DDA 8 is catching on to this growing thing. Topping autos sets them back somewhat, but when they fully recover and those roots find the reservoir it can get exciting. These girls are already at Day 40. I’m getting impatient. Lol!

It’s interesting to see the difference in the leaves. Topping slowed the one, and although her leaves are healthy, they lack the sheen of her untopped sister.

Healthy, shiny leaves

You see the evidence of thrips? When I spot evidence I turn the leaf over. The Timbers are strong enough that I can see the critters crawling on the leaf, so I smash every one I see. I haven’t found one now in a couple days.

I believe I beat the thrips back. Occassionally I’ll pick a leaf with evidence and look closely. So far no life under the leaves that doesn’t belong there.

*cautious sigh of contentment*

That’s the end of the buckle tour my friends. Thank you so much for letting me show them off to you. This is one of my favorite moments of the gardening week.

I’m walking home from the restaurant, and when I get there I’m breaking out more of the delicious DDA.

I’ll catch up with you all in just a bit.

 

[Tead]

Thank goodness I'm getting better at this. Instead of adding to the potential for fracturing this family any further I deliberately chose to hold to the belief that he was safe.

See? It works. Lol!

I do... and I try. I spent many years in a much different quicker world. Patience is my real issue. I try to sit back and watch and guide.... try.

You know m'lord, I can't believe sometimes that at the age of 64 I can say I've never been fishing. Not once. Weird. Just wrong on some level, eh?

Ummm... ain't dere a big-ass river in yo neck 'o da swamps? How can you not!
I'd suggest a blunt non-barbed hook with no bait... you really don't wanna clean a fish... you're there for the joy of visiting quietly with the river. Dunno why they named it 'fishin'.... shoulda named it 'stoned deep contemplation'.

 

[Tead]

Hmmm... I suspect Weas might disagree with my fishing advise.

 

[Morglie]

No I haven't sir. I haven't followed any of the grows that might have (sorry guys ) so I'm not sure what it should look like. Mine usually look different anyway. Lol!

She looks wonderful.

Zamaldelica x Panama (Flip + 12)

• SweetSue
• Jul 13, 2018

She looks exactly like the mother, and you are doing a wonderful job controlling her, which is something I never figured out. I was hoping the Panama would tame the structure a bit, but I haven't seen one yet that it did. I've got three that will be going into flower soon. I'm going a month of veg, then into flower to keep them manageable. Your's is looking amazing.

Well thanks Morglie *giggle* Hash Hound did an excellent job getting her started. Once I planted her into the wider pot she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She's a wonder up close, as I'm sure you can appreciate.

I do walk about three miles a day along the river. Not akin to contemplating a line tempting the passing fishes, but I get the energy and wonder of the river. There are spots for sitting that I sometimes take advantage of.

The disadvantage is I'm really above the river bank. There's no access on this side of the river for the general public. This side was steel mills from downtown Pittsburgh out to Clariton, another 10 miles or so up river. The mills had flood walls, and they restrict access.

The shopping community opened almost 20 years ago, and they still haven't given us fishing access over on the south side of the Mon.

When I met Dale he was a fisherman. In 35 years of marriage he only got his fishing license once. I never could figure that one out. I wasn't raised with fishing, and it's just never happened that I found myself invited along.

 

[Amy Gardner]

I did a lot of rock fishing by the sea while growing up ... these days I just like to sit there with a joint or 2 for a good few hours ... like Tead says...

'stoned deep contemplation'.

Cool - I knew there was someone round here growing one that was a wild one Have you finished any before? I’m curious about the flowering time - it’s such a pretty plant I’m starting to desire growing it ...

and more than a little cautious to store any foodstuffs in these containers.

Good then (I’d go so far as to insert ‘any plastic’ containers there).

Oh Sue it’s exciting to see this guy approaching harvest in the national forest

 

[NorCaliwood]

What Tead calls 'stoned deep contemplation'. I call Stuck on Stupid,,, SOS...........


Drive-by. Hey, this old dog is fixing to try afew new tricks,,, I got a LED in my next flip. Just to take a peek and see whats what. Being new,, I got a burple thing going on.

Hope all good here...

 

[Mr. Krip]

Everything looks great, Sue!

Regarding that Red Diesel, typically those one-bladed leaves are a sign of shock or a plant going from flower back to re-vegging. Anything happen recently in terms of transplanting, light schedules, etc.?

 

[NorCaliwood]

I did see the DOG,,, looks like she was hungry for calcium. Them Indo's can suck up the food. Unlike the sativas that tend to be finicky eaters.. ...

Whenever I put a plant into transition,, I like to juice them with some extra cal/mag for that stretch'''' period. Calcium builds strong bones,, and in the transition period, they grow some of the fastest growth a plant ever does. Some strains tend to drink it to excess when starting flowering... My Puppies love their food....
She'll get over it.. Looks like she has allready.

I agree with Mister K there. Looks like she is just either getting over reveg,, or just starting?

Yeah, that Royal Gorilla looks like it needs some Cal, also!

 

[NorCaliwood]

Even if you just juice them the first 3 weeks of flower with 5mills of Calmag per gallon. And once they stop doing that transition stretching thing,,,, they seem to back up and not need as much calcium.

Your Puppy looks different than mine. Mine throw out red hairs by day 35, and then they keep packing red hairs till day 63 or there about.

All of those black dog pics look much better than any of the seeds I got and grew. Probably due to your expertise and me just starting basically! The plants and the finished buds look amazing. Those should be up for some 420 awards. Never seen any buds as purple other than Sweetsue's Dark Devil Auto.
