Tales From The Krip!

[Mr. Krip]

Dam brother lookn great those blackwater turned out nice as shiz my man congrats i hope my first hb harvest comes even close to lookn half as gud as that n ill be happy lol. So what did u yield off the autos u did hibrix style? Jus tryn to figure out if i shud jus run all autos for my second hb run. Cause so far its my gorilla glue #4 auto that has looked the best so far out of all my hibrix plants ive done so far. Altho the auto is the only plant ive had in flower with the hb soil yet. But still even in veg my auto barely missed a beat an im very sure the only reason i got 2 leaves show alil burn was cause i got a foiler from another plant hit it an the light burned those 2 leaves tht got shit on them. So lol other then that it never had nuthn wrong with her unless u include the drooping or sad looks they wud get wen i wud dry her out all the way but then as soon as i fed her boom back to perky as hell lol. But my clones are having issues due to it being to dry over here. An im waitn for my nex check inorder to buy new equipment like a humidifier lol. This check is all about lighting an environment. Maybe thts why im havn better luck with the autos. Maybe cause of there fast periods of life they arent around long enuf for the environmental issues to effect them as bad as the photos or mite have to do with how they operate internally or sumthn scientific i dnt know about lol. Well no matter what i end up doing that harvest u jus did looked great man congrats.

Thanks, Brother! That Blackwater is definitely a keeper and will be growing her again next round.

I don't grow autos. I may make a rare exception but, as a rule, I stick with the photos. I like to clone everything so I can keep the top strains going.

I've been keeping an eye on what's been going on with your first HB grow and tried to give you some hints on Doc's thread that you need to get that humidity in check. I noticed Doc stressed this, too.

This is "Lesson #3" from the "Top 5 Lessons For New Growers" link in my sig:

3) Before you start worrying about spending lots of money on nutes, put your money into providing a good environment for your plants. Proper lighting, ventillation, humidity, and temperatures will do more for maintaining healthy plants than any nutes you'll find. I'd rather grow with lower quality nutes in a good environment than try to make a go using the best nutes in a bad environment.

Just get your environment in check and the kit will take care of the plants!

Also, if the plants are wilting, you're waiting a little too long to water. You want to feed them when the pots are dry but BEFORE the plants start to wilt. The weight of the pots are a better way to judge timing than seeing the plant drooping.

Yea that's what I normally do but was gone like 2 days longer then planned a few times so she kinda got droopy a tad but other then tht the auto is doing great. An yea I've been slowly fixing up this garden. I didnt wana put a bunch of money into this area tho cause our new place is jus about ready and dont wana waste the money only to have to do it all over again. This was one reason I had wanted to originally wait to do docs kit. But a few family members I help medicate here really wanted to try it out an then obviously seeing all ur guys luck with the kit I jus cudnt pass it up any more lol. But yea I'll be gettn some humidifiers and then a few fans so I can jus keep the tent closed when the lights are on an not over heat things. Plus that way the environment will stabilize alil more as well. So hopefully I can get it dialed in soon an get things back on track more lol.

... is kinda like a buffet...and one (me) has a tendency to overfill their plate...after a burp and a fart, think I'm ready to add a couple more journals...won't go back to the beginning, but will catch up on current going on's......cheerz...h00k......

Welcome, Brother! It's good having the "old-timers" here!

I hear ya' on the journal overload and no need to get caught up! You're coming in at a good time. We're in the second week of flowering right now with (2) IHG Dolato's, (2) IHG Forbidos, and a BF Blue Gelato 41, so things are just starting to get fun and now you're caught up!

WHITE WIDOW & FRUIT PUNCH PRIMO BUDS

I was getting ready to vacuum seal the primo buds from the White Widow & Fruit Punch for some longer term storage and thought I'd take a few pics first.

The White Widow pics used different lighting and didn't come out as well, but here are three WW buds for a half z:

White Widow is a good smoke but very earthy on the terp profile. The Fruit Punch is....you guessed it - FRUITY!

Neither of these two strains are as potent as either the Blackwater or the Tut and I'm not, at all, disappointed I didn't keep a cut of the Widow. I'm a little on the fence as far as the FP goes. While not as potent, it's still a very nice smoke and I'm partial to those fruity terp's, so I kinda enjoy it. I'm hanging on to the mom, for now, but not sure if/when I'll grow her again, at this point.

Happy Harvests!

You should check out this post from my last grow before I had to take everything down to remodel the house (so, two harvests, ago):

Tales From The Krip!

I had the same issue and found when you bend the colas sideways, they really pack on some weight!

This is what that plant looked at near harvest (note the wires needed to support the weight of the colas!):

Even though it looks a mess, I think you'll be happy with the yield you get!

PCAKE & PCB CLONED & SOME NOTES

I took the first clones of the IHG Platinum Cake & Platinum Kush Breath this morning and can honestly say these two strains have the thickest stems of any plants I've seen at this stage. I'm not doing anything special nute-wise and they're not even getting kit nutes, but these are definitely two sturdy strains/phenos!

Also, I did clone these directly into well-cooked first-run soil. After 10 years of growing and taking literally hundreds of clones, believe it or not, this is my first time cloning MMJ directly into soil. If I can get a good success rate in soil, I'll do away with the Rapid Rooters (which give me damn close to 100% success! ) and start cloning right into soil which I believe will be much better for the Bonsai Mom's long-term.

Also, I've had to raise the lights in the main tent another 3" or so in the last two days. That tent is going off!

In about two weeks, I'm gonna pop some Hazeman Pine Tar Kush ('79 Christmas Bud) F-2 reg's in a search for a male to start the new "Krip Genetics" ( ) breeding program!

I'm likely just going to collect pollen and make some F-3's for the first round. But, now that we have some space to breed & sex plants, I don't mind popping some of those reg seeds I've been stashing.

Since I've been on an IHG "kick" lately and they certainly put out some top-notch genetics, I figured I'd go with one of their strains for the second round of breeding. I'm basically going to be doing a smaller, modified version of the Bonsai Sultan Method, which is linked in my signature, and only flowering ONE male at any given time.

I wanted to get some input from Brothers @weenmeoff, @TheGreenYeti, @neikodog and anyone else with experience in some of IHG's strains....

The IHG reg's I have that I'm considering (next) are: Black Cherry Jelly, Apricot Jelly & Zephyrus.

Any of those three you'd recommend above the others?

All input is appreciated!

Happy Harvests!

I have not run any of them but have really wanted to see the Black Cherry Jelly get run. Neiko ran the Apricot Jelly which seemed like a solid strain but you will have to wait to hear from him on whether the effects are anything special or not. The Zephyrus is a Slurricane cross I believe and as such should give some very nice frost plants. i will say I like my Slurricanes growth better than my SugarCane which is a Slurry cross. My best bit of advice would be to grow out whatever you want to breed with for a round before you choose to hit it with pollen so that you know it is worth breeding with.

 

[Neiko]

The Apricot Jelly has gotten great reviews. I haven't smoked it a whole lot because of all the new sativas that finished soon after those did but I think it's a solid indica hybrid. Its cured up nice now and it has a connoisseur quality taste. I'd like to see the BCJ run as well.

Thanks, Guys. We'll see what Brother Ween has to say before I final decision.

I sure don't mind playing "guinnea pig" on the BCJ's but you guys make the Zephyrus & AJ's sound pretty damn tempting!

Hmmmm....maybe I'll pop just two beans of each, sex 'em, and see which ones are male then just flower out the females and keep any possible "extra" males in veg for a future round.

 

[weenmeoff]

Hey Krip! I've only grown BCP, Sugar Cane and Slurricane if you can count that one. I too would like to see the BCJ.

 

[TheGreenYeti]

There you have it! 3 to 1 you are running the BCJ!

OK...I decided to run the Zephyrus.

JK....BCJ it is!

Thanks, Bro's!

Nice! Hopefully it turns out to be just as nice, if not nicer than the Black Cherry Punch!

I definitely agree with the bcj! Bcp has always killed it for me.. I grew dolato as well which turned out great. Stoked to see your new flower line up, you might as well be a sponsor id hit them up lol. &forbidos... Is that what im thinking it is? Forbidden fruit x dosidos? Uhhhhhhhh

That would be what the Forbidos is. Should be a nice cross!
