The Hexapus's Garden

Lol I laughed at the Sue reference remembering all the random cock and ball plants lol!
 
They are all photos Tead. No autos growing around here. And now we are reaching the stage where it's possibly weird to have them all on the same feeding schedule. White widow looks like she has several weeks of complaining left in her before she is done. Whatever- I'll just take the middle road and keep them all on a low level mix till they look finished, or dead.
Here are a few more photos.

Damn brother Weasel, You sure did push some decent turtle food outta them lil cans bud! I think the ones that are in "metal" Have experienced some form of oxidation. Aluminum cans have a sprayed in layer of a plastic film that is toxic when it breaks down and the soup can.. Massive doses of Iron snuck their way in I bet. All in all I think your Hexapus garden has been a success story for the books my friend! Ya gotta p.m. me some info on the self feeder thingy you used. I have hose, fittings, timers.. Pretty much all id need to get one goin.. ( Im lookin to get a set up that can feed 10-12 2litre plants.. Every day it seems a wrench gets tossed into my operation so now I have a 3x4 tent open with a 430 watt hid. Right now it has 64 clones in it but after may 10th it will be empty and Id like to do a 2l sog. I have a 15 gal res. This should suffice for a set it and forget it for a week cycle?
 
Thanks Stihl. Well, that lemon skunk doesn't have to worry about iron overdose anymore. She was looking good till she dried out and died. No worries. I haven't forgotten to take better pics of the Hexapus- just ran out of time. In a few days.
 
Hey Weasel shame to hear about the Lemon Skunk not making it. I have a question for you if I may regarding bud rot (as I know that you have experience of it). Have you ever found bud rot to be dry, loads of dead leaves and scrawny dried out buds type of thing? I've just had to finally give my LSD the chop chop because of spotting something similar to what I describe. It's a real shame as the rest of the buds were pretty big compared to what I usually manage but as I'm paranoid I only saved around 8 or 9 buds and scrapped anything that had a hint of yellow under the leaves. Am I right in thinking this is bud rot? After reading up it sounds like it could be but there was no mould or dusty spores that I can find, and with all the problems she went through I'm now second guessing myself. I have pics in my gallery available if you would like to look :thumb:
 
Sounds cold hearted Kriaze but I didn't spend even a millisecond mourning L. Skunk. Life in the Green hole is so cruel and hardcore that a little death just adds spice and fun, and this turn of events was greeted with general enthusiasm and happiness.
I see one picture in your gallery- the last one, I think- which is the alleged rot?
I can't really tell from the picture but yes I do get a type of fungus/budrot sometimes which is dry. Usually it will be on the outer tips of buds at first and will spread down and gobble up a couple inches before I get out the scalpel- and I will mistake it for burning from the lights at first. I don't particularly remember if I saw puffs of spores with that kind of rot or not. Because I'm stoned...
Hit me back, and maybe we can find a way to say something that makes sense, of this. Or something.. :lot-o-toke: . :;
 
Hey Weaselcracker thanks for replying so soon. Mine didn't start at the tip of a bud but in the middle of a branch...which had snapped due to the weight of the bud. I remember fixing it up now in one of my various inebriated states and it wasn't anywhere else on the plant. I'm kind of wondering if I completely got it wrong but better to be safe than sorry, which is a shame because these were some of the biggest (note bigger than popcorn) buds that I have ever grown, and those from the tortured LSD that was close to the chop everyday. It may well be bud rot, or it may just be lack of nutrients reaching the bud itself, I'm unsure. Maybe it just didn't look like my preconceived idea of what bud rot should look like. Too late now though I reckon, I've saved some buds for smoking and maybe musing over that thought in the future, probably when I'm looking at the contents of my jar getting lower ;)
 
Here btw :passitleft: all the best mate
 
Well, it sounds like it's a mystery for the ages then, now. It could have been some sort of rot- which is just a general name for a fungal takeover of some sort, and there is more than one sort.
I had a new one recently. Less than two weeks ago actually. After battling rot on a Pineapple Chunk for most of it's flowering, I harvested it, and its neighbor- also a PC but without mold issues. Then I loaded my drying box up with the two plants worth of bud, and (for some reason) tried to do a very long initial drying session- by closing off most of the vent holes for the box. It seemed to go well the first week- then the next week I returned to find a light gray mold, with long silky hairs, was starting to cover the surfaces of all that bud. It was just on the surface- and not the same as budrot - more like something you'd see growing in your refrigerator, if your refrigerator was like mine would be if had a refrigerator, which I don't, because I live in a natural big refrigerator.
Anyway- that little skiff of mold covering everything seemed so thin and harmless somehow- like I should be able to just blow it or wipe it away- but I had to admit that the bud was ruined. On the bright side I got over two ounces of hash out of it, along with some other trimmings.
 
I've gone for a quick dry here with this unfortunately. It's chopped up and on a line in the big tent with a 6" clip on fan, a 16" big fan plus the exhaust fan and scrubber, better to be safe than sorry I reckon. Is it safe to put mouldy bud through a hash bag? I've recently purchased some for the trim I have in the freezer and now I suddenly find myself with almost a full plant full of extra if indeed it is able to be made into hash. Tempting thought :volcano-smiley:
 
And same to you Kriaze :passitleft: Always a pleasure to have you stop by. I'm not sure what has you up so atrociously early- but I'm currently here thinking of going to bed terribly early (for me)
I highly recommend the Malawi- to you in particular. I treat it with respect. It's strong and I don't need to smoke large amounts of it. Not because I find any negative OD type problems with it- I just get so happily uplifted and engaged in doing-whatever, that I don't need more.
I'll write more about it sometime soon. But I think you'd like it. Even if I'm feeling down and smoke it- it is hard for me to stay down- I feel happy thoughts pulling at me, and see humor where I didn't before. This is important - because actually this isn't the effect herb usually has on me. Normally I'm careful about smoking when I'm feeling anxious- because of all the thinking that follows, often resulting in mental torture/fatigue. I understand the LSD analogy I read about it. It's quite hallucinogenic, and it's really like being on a trip. But a very happy and functional trip.
When I read the reviews I took the 'more like LSD than cannabis' comments to mean that it is crazy strong and a bit 'scary'. But no- it's strong- but happy and trippy strong- not scary at all. It doesn't get me introspective- but it does get interesting ideas bubbling up out of nowhere. And it's great herb for playing guitar/music- or doing pretty much anything.
Not only can I be as high as a kite on this Malawi- but I can be high as a kite and do things like- handle unexpected visitors, make phone calls to strangers, do lots of multitasking without forgetting steps, etc. Basic stuff maybe- which probably most people take for granted- but I totally do not.
 
My understanding, from what I've read, is that the mold structures are composed of parts which are many many times smaller than the finest mesh used to catch resin glands in the bubble hash technique- and the mold will just get washed through the bag when it drains. Or something. And naturally I want to believe it.
 
It's atrociously late for me here, I have a hospital appointment at 4pm so no doubt I'll only get sleepy around 3pm. I've been smoking some Sativa dominant strains recently (Dark Devil Auto, Paradise Nebula and a strain bought from someone which I'm guessing is Sativa due to it livening me up), but the wife seems to think they don't agree with me. I feel great on them and get up, out and about and do way more than I would when smoking my nice almost opiated Indicas that I grow. She says that I get a bit aggressive (not physically of course) on them and I can't understand why, I usually feel in a happy mood on them and it's not like I'm out picking fights. It's strange how ones perceptions can differ from someone on the outside so to speak, or maybe she is too used to me being semi sedated and doesn't like the idea of my being out and about possibly getting into mischief lol. Hence the reason that I usually stick to Indicas, plus the fact that I tire of sleeping with one eye open ;)

Have you ever come across this? I never even thought of cannabis as something that can cause trouble, there's plenty of beers that can do that trick. Your Malawi sounds really tempting though so I think I'll really have to try it in the future. I'll say goodnight in case you have drifted to that place we call sleep, and as ever I will wish you all the best
 
That's a strange one- it's hard for me to think of any sort of 'aggression' and cannabis being linked. I've definitely noticed people who get more aggressive when they have even one drink - louder- brasher- possibly dumber- not as funny or witty as they think they are- etc. Or for that matter- louder and funnier and wittier maybe sometimes. But aggressive on cannabis fails to really compute for me. I'll go to bed and read and ponder this! G'nite.

PS - a possible tip for getting some sleep... I notice that I will lay awake all night completely unable to sleep- like my body and mind have zero interest in it. Then- right around the time my alarm goes off- all systems shut down and are 100% ready for a nice sound sleep, as I drag myself out of bed in the most painful state of ...complete wrongness.
So I'm thinking maybe I should set alarms to just ring all night- to induce this sleepy effect?
 
Unusual for sure to be more aggressive on cannabis. Maybe more snarky? I can get the snarky humor sometimes because cannabis can enhance what I think is funny.
 
Sometimes I get more sensitive/oversensitive - to people who are annoying me. I'll get in a peaceful meditative state, or a state where I'm thinking a lot, and then feel upset when someone comes along who seems to be blathering a bunch of shallow or stupid crap. But that's just a slightly enhanced version of something that plays out often- with or without cannabis. And there's no aggression involved- just a little oversensitivity on my part- my issues. Anyway- it's always a flight response - not a fight.
