TripleG's Apartment Based Breeding Grounds

[beez0404]

This I am pretty certain will be my next seed making project. The strain is Sour Diesel Haze auto. I'm pleased with the shape and growth of the plant. She is still stretching which is fantastic as long as she stops within the next 8 inches. I won't know for sure if she I will invest the time and tent to breed S1 seeds with her until after her buds are dried and cured. If top quality then I will definitely look to grow another out to make some S1 seeds.

I dusted two buds with pollen from my Gorilla Glue #4 plant and it appears to have taken. I am fond of crosses made with a photo sensitive plant and an auto flower plant. The resulting seeds could be fantastic or a bust, you just never know. Here is a photo of the Sour Diesel Haze right before I cleaned off her lower 1/3 of leaves and small branches.

Two of theses girls will be harvested in about 10 days. I really need the space as I have two vegging plants that just TOOK OFF when I up-potted them on Friday of last week. I made about 10 gallons of homemade organic soil and will be growing a @SeedsMan Girl Scout Crack plant in it. This GSC is my current favorite evening smoke and I look forward to seeing how the plant and my soil do in this upcoming grow.

Beautiful plants beez.

I'm kind of stuck in limbo as far as my breeding move goes. Our camping trip fell through for this weekend. Not 100% sure about the trip to Seattle in September, won't really know now until the end of august. Stuck in limbo again..

If I had to pick right this second, I would pollinate Zamaldelica x Panama f1 and Columbian Gold with Punto Rojo x Durban Bubble f1. If I went with autos I would pollinate SSDC and DDA with a male Devil's Pitchfork F3 as well as making an F4 auto generation. Those are the only auto seeds I have, so options are a bit limited.

I tell ya, I have been smoking Northern lights all day long. Each doobie brings me right back to where i want to be. The Sensi NL is pretty basic in flavor but has no problem packing a heckuva wallop. The Sensi NL x Nirvana NL (foxtail pheno) carries a nearly identical wallop with the addition of a fruity funk flavor. Great stuff all the way around. I will chop the rest of those two plants tomorrow. Wife says I can dry them in the fridge , at least until she gets tired of everything tasting like weed.. again

She is still stretching which is fantastic as long as she stops within the next 8 inches.

Zorillo Loco is about 2" from the QBs. I am going to have to do some creative plant shuffling and adjust the height of my cob fixture TOMORROW.

Also I will be raising the closet cobs again tomorrow, the QP Stardawgs are troublesome and want to keep stretching. I am very extremely happy with how they have grown thus far. It is apparent to me that the mother and "father" were very stable strains to make such a vigorous hybrid, great job to the anonymous donor!

 

[beez0404]

I have a plant in my homemade vegging box that is going to be a handful. Two weeks ago it was knee high and had slowed growing so I suspected it might be root bound and boy was it ever. I up-potted it and in the two weeks since it's grown to chest high. Six more days and she goes into the flowering tent. I'm picturing how she's going to look with her branches all snapped over at 90 degree angles. Where she's at right now things are very tight. I have room to bend down just one of her branches at a time which I have been doing. She didn't have all too many side branches. Since I started bending the branches over she's begun to grow out some side branches.

That Sensi NL is a sneaky one. A very mild aroma while she's growing. Her trichromes don't overwhelm you when you look at her. But like you said she does have a nice kick to her. I have NL seeds from several breeders and the Sensi and Nirvana stand well above the others. The Nirvana grows similar to the Sensi which makes the result of their cross kind of fun. The frost on your Sensi NL X Nirvana NL was outstanding.

I still haven't chopped this one yet

The one I did chop has basically the Sensi plant structure but has fatter buds with little foxtails. It was frostier than the Sensi by just a little. Were it not for the flavor difference, the high is indistinguishable. Smoking Sensi NL as I type this.

(Long paragraph ahead)
I have a thought that comes from an interesting habit my pit bull has. I get her high, she likes it. But I stopped getting her high awhile back cuz she's a recovering garbage digger and she relapsed. Since I started letting her get high again I noticed she avoids smoking like the plague unless it is weed I have grown or if it is a certain brand of Kief from the corner store. Does she know something I don't? Is it just monkey see monkey do? She won't even lay by my feet if I smoke store weed, like it offends her. Could the store weed possibly be that dirty with all of the required testing? Is she some strange breed of weed snob? Maybe the Northern Lights is just this good....

Finished chopping Northern Lights lowers today. They are chilling in the fridge. Bud density with these has increased. I think the lower half of Sensi x Nirvana will yield about the same as the top.

I also rotated Zorillo Loco over under the tent cob and raised the light. I moved the two semi healthy Devil's Pitchfork F1s into the tent. Sterilized one coffee can hempy worth of rocks and ready to do the other one in the morning. I will chop the last 2 Northern Lights and Harlequin as well.

I thought the Devil's Pitchfork F2 photoperiods would be at least 10 week plants, but they are starting to look like I could be wrong. I will snap a few pics after tomorrow's harvest. Most pistils are orange. Hard to read the trichs on a dark purple plant. Leaves are sort of naturally fading. They are flip plus 7 weeks so I may start feeding straight water much sooner than I expected. The shorter flowering time is a pleasant surprise and will be noted.

 

[Ganjagrowergu]

Plants I don't really talk about.. Devil's Pitchfork x Sensi NL x Nirvana NL IBL. First ones I have ever planted. Pretty much 11/13 from seed. In a square Tupperware container sits 5, 9cm fabric pots nestled in lava rock. I basically put 24oz of nutrient solution right in the tub every 3rd day. I'll get them out for a photo OP tomorrow. They are all very healthy. I don't like whiny plants with nutrient burn, lol. They are good eaters.

Yesterday I managed to chop and trim all 3 plants. Buds are so dense I'm hanging them in paper bags for a few days before any head off to low n slow in the fridge.

Harlequin has seeds, lots of seeds. That chunky n frosty Sensi NL x Nirvana NL was fun to trim. Stem was super robust and even the bud stems gave my scissors a run for their money. Buds were like rocks. Phenotypes like that need to be preserved.The wet weight is heavier than the Sensi, but the Harlequin beats both with the seeds weighing her down.

Our Seattle vacation has been called off. Going to look at what to plant next. My Devil's Pitchfork F2 photoperiods are looking really close to done. I plan to start plain water feedings today, harvest next Saturday at the earliest. Long finishes really improve the quality of my buds. 7-10 days has been kind to my throat and lungs.

I'll try to get some pics up later today.

That sounds like a nice batch of top shelf buddage! Hopefully you have enough of a stash on hand to give those 3+ weeks to cure. I was going through my seeds last night when I was bored checking to make sure that if I had them they were on my spreadsheet. I found some that were not and I honestly can't say I can think of a soul who has grown any of these out yet. It's a cross I made this past summer/fall composed of Sensi Northern Lights X DDA X Colombian Gold. It started with a Dark Devil auto which I pollinated with my Sensi Northern Lights. When I was growing out one of these seeds from that pariring I had a seed run going with a male and female Colombian Gold duo. I dusted a couple of the NL X DDA buds and made some seeds. The NL X DDA has two distinct phenotypes......a green one and a purple one. Interesting to see what the Colombian Gold male brought to the table.

Those buds are going to take awhile to dry, even at 30% rh. I'm considering tossing them in the refrigerator on Monday. That should help me keep my paws off of them. They definitely deserve a nice slow dry..

I did finally find my scale. Not sure I've ever used it to weigh weed before. Guy I know used to mess around in a clean room with spores....... he was really good at that, now he does glass blowing instead.

So, for now the closet is closed. I moved the QP Stardawgs into the tent along with Incredible Bulk, SSDC, and the 2 tiny Devil's Pitchfork F1s. A human being occupies that room and that cob really creates alot of heat. I will reassemble that when the hot days are done. 11/13 from seed is currently how it has to be. No skin off my teeth.

The bigger phenotype of Devil's Pitchfork F2 photoperiod... We are almost at 100% orange pistils and the leaves are getting noticeably rougher in feel and appearance. She is still drinking for now though. I plan to saturate her root mass in fresh water and let her dry out, only watering every 3 days versus every 2 days, until harvest. Some kinda test of the drought stress method sweetsue has been looking into.

Still wondering if I should try my hand at making RSO/FECO. Seems like a relatively simple process and should be reasonably safe to purge in batches as small as I plan on making. I bet Northern Lights RSO would be some heavy meds.

There were three. The smallest bud from the plant gave us the rest. Not one immature bean in the bunch

Same to you.

The Zorillo Loco gal might be done stretching, lol. Probably 2 1/2 ft tall plus about 14" of container. Tall n skinny but stinky.

Hard to judge which phenotype she is though without the "F" generation being on the label. I would imagine that since they were promotional that she would be an F2 which makes things messy since idk a lot about the lineage of Locomotion. The odor is skunky but definitely not a true skunk pheno. I can't wait to see her fill out.

 

[Ganjagrowergu]

Been promising a photo update. I'm going to start with the two problem children...

Ph is spot on. Guess is that they are heavy feeders even heavier than my photoperiod gals. I increased Maxibloom to 3/4tsp with the same 1/4tsp of Mega-Crop. If that doesn't change anything I will switch to 1/2tsp of each. I fed with tons of runoff today. Usually I only see these problems when my ph effed up, it is not.

Cruising along

Full house loco has really grown. You always impress with the ways you improvise. I've never seen weed baged and hung. Usually one or the other

I never had anyone to directly teach me anything about growing. I read Ed Rosenthal, some Jorge Cervantes, and lurked around forums until I landed here. I take bits and pieces from everyone and apply them as best I can to my situation. I have yet to find anyone else that grows quite like me, lol.

I didn't have room to hang plants, I got super dense buds, and there's some freaking pasta salad in the fridge that I dont want contaminating my fresh buds.

Normally I hang them for 3-4 days on the stem, then bag them. I don't do much jarring, just pick buds out of the bag and smoke them when they dry. I'm going to try to cure my super dense NL buds this time around.

 

[Dankman_420]

Hey I'm not knocking you. I ready dig it. Your very creative! I wish I had some creativity. Lol

 

[Ganjagrowergu]

I didn't mean to come across like that all. I probably over-explained the origins of my creativity and ended up sounding serious. I've been smoking oil and hash all day.

I made just a tiny piece of hash from my trimmings, very pleasant to smoke. Lol. Also sterilizing lava rock today. I dislike harvest time more than I should.

 

[beez0404]

I have been in trim jail a good part of the day. I harvested the top portion of a Royal Gorilla plant. This is my second go around with this strain. Both times I grew them as "fillers" in the flowering tent and both were in 2.5 gallon pots. I let this second one flower for 10 more days then the first (56 the first one and 66 days this time) and her aroma is intensified as well as her resin production. But it's still a pain in the butt plant to trim. Just TOO MANY leaves in, on, and around the buds. The plant doesn't produce all that much. These are the reasons I did not keep my bonsai mother of this strain. I've replaced it with a Gorilla Glue #4 cut which I am currently growing out for S1 seeds. I like the structure of the plant a whole lot more and feel confident the quality of the buds from the GG#4 will meet or exceed the quality of the buds from the Royal Gorilla.

I will be watching closely to see how what you determine to be the problem with the DogPound auto plants. Isn't it a telltale problem with they start yellowing from the bottom up towards the top? My first guess would be they're rootbound but I've seen you grow some pretty big plants in one of those tiny pots so maybe that's not it. I am impressed with the side branching. Did you top them or is the side branching natural?
