Re: Papa Green's Utopian Sub v2 - You, Me, and Barney's Farm makes 3 - Perpetual 2000
A rectangle of bud! I've never seen any other grower pack it in that tight. You're setting a new benchmark for what ScrOGin' is all about. Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing - your journal is the best.
About your A/C unit being outside the closed system - are you concerned it's venting unfiltered (smelly) air out of your grow room?
I appreciate the encouragement - but she's not curing yet. It's entirely possible that there are literally too many buds there. I am feeling pretty good that I'm seeing enough decent sized ones that I'm ok comparing to previous grows. But I never really know until the end.
I was gonna say I just like thinking outside the box, but really this one is thinking inside the box. Sorry - am baked.
The smell from the A/C is my biggest worry I guess. It vents up to the crawlspace, then out an attic fan. There's not much smell outside, but I'll admit that if the wind is exactly right, and the plants are in their nite time, before I added a carbon filter - I have smelled it outside. When the carbon filter is running it scrubs enough without actually being attached inline with the A/C that there is no smell outside. I've had others do a smell check. Also, its in my back yard, and there are lots of other smelly legal plants out there.
I just can't get over that scrog papa, incredible!
Thanks, bro! We'll see how the smoke is. I am cautiously optimistic. I tried a LOT of things for the first time in this scrog, so there's still plenty of time for disaster. Getting close though. I am starting to see the first brown pistles on the Volde. I have not even bothered checking tris yet. I'm guessing somewhere between Sunday to Wednesday I will cut out the nutes for the Volde. I want to see some amber tris before I start to ween her. I want a good 50% amber harvest. The Utopia seems to be on track to finish about 3-4 weeks from now.
If those times hold up, that will mean the Volde finished about 7-10 days longer than advertised and the Utopia either right on time or even a little early. IF. If, on the other hand the Utopia goes longer I will not complain a bit cause she's starting to put on some weight and she can take as long as she wants to fatten up as far as I'm concerned. Although I plan to have some quick dried and cured for the Phish shows on July 1st and 2nd.
Mmmmmmm - sounds sooo good. I'm down to my reserve smoke. Plenty of it - but its the stuff that I don't feel is good enough for patients. I am literally drooling now thinking about the plants soon to come. I am also very excited to finally taste this Montana. If I had to guess her strain I would say classic Northern Lights #1, could be #5 I guess, but she seems a little thinner than I think a #5 would be. I learned her previous owner acquired the strain a long time ago from an experienced long time grower, so I am leaning towards #1. Frankly I will be thrilled if that is the case. I literally almost missed a flight out of Amsterdam in 1987 cause I was stoned to the gills on NL in a coffeeshop. I was 17. My dad woulda been PISSED! Not sure if this happens for others, but certain smoke is like certain songs to me - just the taste brings back great memories and somehow makes the high better. Two homegrown strains top that list for me - growers in Northern California that I don't know what if any strain it was. But as far as named strains and experiences - that NL from that day in Amsterdam is tops.
Wow. I have insomnia after all the long nights, and I just medicated up the wazooo - sorry for the rambling post.
+ reps
, man that is alot of bud.
