SweetSue's Perpetual 3.0 - The Hempy/HB Hybrid Grow

Wow!!:thedoubletake::thedoubletake:
Just freakin wow.
You grow girl!:clap:
:MoreNutes:

I see big things in her future.:dreamy:
Well done my dear.:high-five:

Awww....thanks Stage. I hope she turns out as beautiful as I envision. I'm blessed to be growing this one. She's such raw genetics it thrills me to be near her. I need to get her flipped so we don't run out of buds. It's become the daughter's favorite. I don't even touch it for myself. :laughtwo:

To watch her respond to this chemovar is to be astounded at how beautifully cannabis can interface with the individual endocannabinoid system. Life never ceases to amaze me. :dreamy:

Oooo.... Oooo... I almost forgot! My new humidifier arrived! :yahoo:

IMG_723611.JPG


It's been running full-tilt now for about 30 minutes and the humidity in the tent is at 38%. I can live with that in flower. I'll get it worked out so this tent sits about 45-50%. This is a good start. For $26 I feel like I got a great bargain.

Whew! One more thing taken care of in a way I never saw coming. :laughtwo: You gotta love life, eh?
 
Dancing with Blue Dream tonight....

Thank you MagicJim. :hugs:

This makes me very happy. Thank you for growing her. You did a better job than I did. BD is what I selected when I got home. I went to party with my 90 year old aunt and almost all my cousins were there. 90 years old I'm telling ya...what a great afternoon!

Back to be Blue Dream. Here's wishing you just dreamy things girl. Dancing huh? OK.

I was so impressed by the pics you put up earlier today. That's the stuff of a great grower there. Impressed I say...sheer beauty!

:hugs: :Love: :hugs:

Awww Jim, my smile is gonna bust. :cheesygrinsmiley:

:hugs: :Love: :hugs:

I'm loving the BD. Your afternoon sounds delightful. I plan to be kickin' around into my 90s for sure. :Love:

Enjoy your evening. :kisstwo:
 
Beautiful Jones. :high-five: She's definately a purple pheno. I can see the staining beginning to show on the leaves. Remember to clone it. :battingeyelashes: If we miss this important step in retaining the genetics the beautiful purple lines stop at harvest. You have me considering planting another seed to see what I can get. The schedule's pretty full already doing all I can to keep up with basics. Lol!

It never ends does it, this desire to grow more and more plants? :cheesygrinsmiley:

hey sue i know i asked b4 but i lost my journal where i write everything down i know its around here but i cant find it right this second and im redoing some perlite right now and i cant remember if it was 200 degrees f for 3 hours or was it 300 for 2 hours??
 
Lmao nice .

They do look really nice that’s for sure .

Yes they do Joe, and thank you for the compliment. I like to think I had something to do with it, but it was mostly great genetics, fabulous lighting and a nutrient source my plants are loving, accented with copious amounts of love oozing from the cultivator. Some of the nicest buds I've grown so far.

I keep saying that, huh? :laughtwo: You guys keep making me a better grower, so it makes sense I'd be continually improving. :battingeyelashes: :green_heart:

But look......

IMG_725811.JPG


They really are pretty. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I sure hope you didn't go with 300 degrees for two hours Jones. :battingeyelashes: It's 200 degrees for two to three hours, depending on how wet the perlite was going into the oven. I want it dry coming out, but I don't always wait for it to dry before I sterilize. It might be smarter to wash, dry, sterilize. Often I'm lazy. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Good morning everyone :Love:

I realized this morning that I've done what I'd intended this year, and found my sweet spot for gardening in this apartment. With the small likelihood that I'll retire the Spa and keep it in mind for future overflow, the small tents have turned out to be a perfect fit for me.

IMG_72428.JPG


IMG_72459.JPG


Forgive me Lady G, but the pink lights were to show what I see, and to highlight that lovely specimen in the middle.

IMG_724613.JPG


Yeah...... I feel the same way when I look in. This tent stays the warmest, and has the best humidity levels, although the humidifier's been going a little wonky, and there were a couple times it climbed over 60% for a few minutes. I think she believes she's living in the tropics. :laughtwo: But look at how she's responded! This is my most beautiful Devil's Carnival to date, and the one I'm happiest with structurally.

IMG_724816.JPG


Previous specimens had problems with retaining leaves. At the slightest bump they'd fall off. Branches were ...... let's go with weak, as in not strong enough to support the colas without wiring them up somehow. This one has been sturdier from the moment I chopped her down to a single node after a month's growth. This may be the key to successfully getting the root mass that supports this type of plant. She's filled in impressively.

Yes, I took note, and will be duplicating the technique, only my next specimen is in soil. Hmmmm...... longer veg time. Ok, I'll adjust the schedule. That actually works to my benefit. :laughtwo: You gotta love the way the universe keeps working it out for me. Lol!

IMG_724911.JPG


IMG_725012.JPG


She's completely flushed to cloudy, but I see no evidence yet of any amber trichomes.

IMG_72519.JPG


IMG_725213.JPG


I almost missed the autumnal tint to her upper leaves. :yahoo: This didn't happen with either of the previous specimens, or if it did I missed it both times. :slide:

IMG_72539.JPG


The only new pistils are down below. I'll let her go as long as I can, but her flush cycle begins today. I'm hoping she goes all colorful as she slides into the harvest window. It'd make for some pretty pictures and there are a few contests I'm planning to get serious about. :blunt:

Now..... tell me you're not smiling after that luscious display of cannabis goodness. My pleasure. :hugs: Time to get out there and celebrate the New Year's entrance in the style befitting a :420: cultivator.

Namaste.
 
Hi Sue, I see your thinking about growimg the Candida. I have 2 little ones growing but they will be off to their permanent home shortly.
Could you tell me the temperature you use on your dehydrator? What do you think about the drying process, is it as good as the usual process of drying?
Anyway, Happy New Year Sue.
 
Happy GREW Year!

Been working on my class notes cause it's so much fun. I can't believe what I have learned in the past year. You have been feeding my mind organic knowledge to fuel my fire. The best way I can thank you is to give you perpetual hugs/thankyou's :hugs: aaand to live long and proper.

You have brought so much joy in my life and I will never forget you. May we bring in the new year together to save more lives, growing against the odds. Super hugs :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Thanks for another great round of updates sharing the wonderful world of SweetSue with us! :hugs:

Having the joy of gazing upon your lovely charges fills me with excitement about what's in store for me as a cultivator that's for sure. Look where I'm headed!!

Happy New Years to you Sue :smokin2:

Can you tell me what that little device is called? It looks perfect for my winter grow box (I'm already planning in the back of my mind for that even tho it's months away - and that bit of equipment makes that planning take front and centre momentarily!)

..
 
Oh man... ur shit's lookin so good.
you sure there's not a spider mite about?!?!
So sweet!

Hahaha! The fine print made me laugh right out loud Tead. Nope....no mites or other critters to speak of. I got humidity more controlled than it's ever been, and that'll make all the difference. :cheesygrinsmiley:

That Devil's Carnival looks awesome great job!

Why thank you Doob. :hugs: She's making me look good. :battingeyelashes:

Good to know your instincts are working Jones. :high-five: Happy New Year to you to my friend. May the next one be even more fun than this one was. :slide:

Great photos and a great update Sue. Happy New Year and may you continue to have continued success in 2018. Cheers

Thank you UA, and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. :hugs:

Happy New Year Shaun. :hugs: I'm hoping the CBD levels in Candida will be the last piece in my personal healing puzzle. Psoriasis feels like it might respond better to a higher concentration of CBD.

I use the lowest setting on my dehydrator, 95 degrees F. I run for 50 hours, jar it up overnight to check humidity levels and then work the rest of the humidity out with rice. I can have the buds jarred up and stable at 62-65% within four days, tops, and I've found no appreciable difference in taste, quality, or effectiveness by flash drying vs any other method, other than low and slo.

Low and slo will take the longest, but will offer a finer product, IMO. The terpene expressions are more nuianced. You'll taste and smell things you'd never noticed before after a low and slo dry. Mine take two weeks, three weeks tops, in paper lunch bags.

These days I'll dry in the fridge if space allows and use the dehydrator if the fridge is already maxed out. I hang dry for special events, like hermies, or the fact that I miss walking by a plant drying in the hallway. :laughtwo:

That lovely device is called an ultrasonic personal portable humidifier.

IMG_7135.PNG


There are some limitations: the water bottle will need refilled numerous times a day to keep up with the needs of a 2x2 tent in flower with decent air filtration, but it's keeping a steady 41%. At that level it'll work adequately until I can get a bigger unit for the tent after the devices go on sale in another month.

So it's worth the extra effort for $26 vs $150, but I'll be relieved to replace it with something more up to the task. In a month that $150 unit will be sitting on the shelf for about $40. I'll gamble. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I just finished a lovely visit with Jgrowlove, who stopped off to gift me with some of his recently-harvested Red Diesel, and pick up some Thin Mint GSC brownies to add to the celebration.

The Red Diesel is beautiful buds. The man can grow some pretty cannabis, let me tell you. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

I'm smoking it right now. I even went through the trouble to clean the bong before I started so I could get a taste, or as much as a bong will permit. I'll have to run some through the vaporizer for a taste, methinks. For the moment I'm focused on effect.

J, your father's assessment was spot on. Damned potent cannabis. :high-five: I'm working on getting the fourth one loaded. "Whoa!" :laughtwo:

I'm going back in. :ciao:
 
My entry into the Malawi 500. :cheesygrinsmiley:

IMG_72786.JPG


She's just finishing up her first week in flower mode.

IMG_72798.JPG


IMG_72809.JPG
 
I've been somewhat unhappy with the veg shelf, now that the temperatures have fallen. Behind the curtain it's staying too cool in that space. The top is wide open, so all the heat's rising right out. I decided the solution was to open it up so it becomes part of the greater, heated space.

IMG_72818.JPG


It changed the entire atmosphere of the area, and the plants feel more comfortable. I started tying the leaders on Carn 4.6 down to let the younger growth catch up a bit.

IMG_728211.JPG


IMG_728312.JPG


Devil's Carnival 1.3 looks like she's got roots growing.

IMG_72849.JPG


IMG_728512.JPG


CBD Critical Cure 3 got some of the larger, droopier leaves removed, and that opened up all kinds of new shoots to the light.

IMG_728613.JPG


Red Diesel got some mild LST, just pressing down the leaders to let lower growth catch up.

IMG_729110.JPG


She'll be getting her first Energy drench in a day or two, which I think is gonna kick her into higher gear.

IMG_72958.JPG


There are roots growing like mad in here. :thedoubletake:

IMG_729412.JPG


IMG_729210.JPG


IMG_7293.PNG


I'll be planting one for J to take home in a couple weeks and leave the rest go for a while longer. The Jamaican cutting has started sending out her own roots. I'll be planting that one in perlite.

Carnival 4.4 was being particularly stunning while out for her drench. I haven't started flushing her yet. She's still pumping out new pistils as she pulls the older ones back just as vigoriously. There'll come a point when I'll know she's done. When I feel it from her I'll start her flush.

I'm a happy cultivator, celebrating another wonderful year of steady harvests. It's been a pleasure to grow beside the rest of you. Here's to another joyful Carnival-filled year ahead.

:passitleft:
 
Happy New Years Eve to you Sue :-)

Your ladies are looking marvelous of course and especially the Malawi 500 entry :thumb: these gals have some legs don't they :rofl: I'm having visions of them wrapping all the way around the room before this is over with. So cool that we can compare notes on these with yourself and Penny. All I'm hoping for is they make it to harvest lol. I really do want to try some of this just to say I've tried it really lol. We got to try some Scotch the other night, like a mini sip.......lol well I'm not a scotch drinker but now we can say we tasted a $300.00 scotch, personally I wouldn't pay 3 bucks for it but if you like scotch, it's good :-)

Time to start our New Year's Eve off with a cap lol, maybe a cold Stella........then pass out lmao!


Blessed Buds our friend and be well :passitleft:
