Yo, D. S'up? Hey did you ever go see the placeholder website with a few pics I mentioned before? I think I'm going to repopulate that with a bunch of my best stuff just for old time''s sake. God, those were some good years…. Spending hundreds of hours with whales is amazing and a deeply impactful legend event. I wanted to thank you for the reminder.

Anyway, long time no, er, 'see', as they say. I been a bit sick, in the hospital with colitis, which is new for me. My diets been very good for years now but I’m taking another look. I’m well along the path to recovery already, but that’s why I’ve been quieter than usual.

I know you must have terribly mixed feelings over this past grow and my heart aches for you. Still, you accomplished a bunch of things I've never seen before, and did it with tremendous style. Plus the buds you did bring in, some of them are tres beautiful. You’ve been a real highlight in my life these past months mon ami.

I thought I'd give you a chuckle by sharing a peek at what I've been doing with (or, 'to', really) the seeds I rec'd in the mail. .

You remember how they really seemed to perform whenever conditions were made to closer simulate the swampy, hellish-hot, Fillipine archipelago? Well, I started pumping my fogger straight into the tank where I had them balanced on perlite-filled cylinders sitting in fertilized liquid so they could suck it up SIP-style yet have access to oxygen by not sitting in the water. Well, whenever I turned the fogger up a little the entire aquarium filled with fog, and roots would immediately start growing outside the perforated nursery bags holding the growmatrix.

So I thought, hey, lets experiment with full-on aeroponics and I started mixing a mild General Hydro flora series balanced mixture and filling the fogger with this mix. OMG. The instant growth, no just of root but plant material! Its incredible.

Great to hear from you my man, a little concern now that your health is going thru a challenge, hope your full recovery is soon and we can have the delight of your presence around here.

I did get to see your photos online and I found them all breathtaking, my wife dreams of seeing orcas like the ones you capture with your lens. Very good material and glad of you to bring them back with all those experiences captured in a photo.

A good photo is one that can capture someone’s moment and turn it into another’s dream. Thanks for sharing.

Now on Cannabis;
Wow I had never seen anything like this aeroponics with cannabis. This takes foliar feeding to the edge very progressive experiment, and the pheno is reacting favourably to this environment, brilliant! I’m sure you will shape this pheno to show a new layer of herself.
I’ve been keeping an eye on your journal but I haven’t seen you post there, thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing more about what you are doing.

Take care brother.
:peace:
 
Well hell ,,guess it won’t let me down load the video..perhaps a few pics then

Lovely scene you got there Jonny, your ladies sure putting on a show.
Best friend in cheminus started harvesting too, I’m cutting down a mother this weekend. I’m starting to bring them home as rain is a coming!

Why wait 4 months to grow, start a couple indoors just for fun! Even a journal here I bet plenty here would learn lots from a old school grower like yourself. Especially your super soil living soil and the natural grow, lots of people growing organic at home now.
 
Last but not least the harvest part. Since these pictures the buds are just hanging in dark waiting giving several more days for the seeds to keep going.

The examination to the roots was made at 10 days of water deprivation, the roots are completly dry, bone dry. Note on my layer pot the root seem to have avoided the debris, only found a tap root connecting the upper pot to the lower root mass.

For such a small pot, the root mass isnt that small.

Great looking bud Dani but was wondering why you don’t wet trim? CL🍀

Very cool 👍 CL🍀
 
Just going to throw this out..But what stains are the long time island growers putting outside ??? I’m going to try some Sativa autos because I love a cerebral and energetic buzz over the couch lock ..But I feel the island could be very unpredictable when it comes to the finish of the season. I mean thank the weather gods for this years finish.Im not sold on the Kush being a strong finisher if we had typical fall weather...rain and humidity ..so what are the good guys doing...???
 
I’m going to try some Sativa autos
I'm going to give autos a more serious try here in Ontario - I had very bad luck this year with a couple of Super Lemon Haze but it sure is nice to know you can finish up in decent weather. I grew one last year very successfully, don't know what happened this year. :hmmmm:
 
You can plant your autos outside much earlier than June 21 since they are not affected by day length. Don't have to wait like you do with photos so as not to screw up the desire to flip to flower.

Planting them early means you have a much better chance of finishing in the good weather.
 
Great looking bud Dani but was wondering why you don’t wet trim? CL🍀
Captain I don’t do a wet trim because I like the plant to finish up what ever is left on the leaves before I take them off, growing organic no need to flush.

I first cut whatever is to harvest and hang it for several days, just like when cloning the part that we cut is still alive and desperately trying to survive so it will keep living off whatever is left on the stem and fan leaf. Once they are dead the leaves come off easily and than I bud wash let the excess moisture drain for a couple more days and proceed with the good manicure.
The drying part is long I also have limited space now so I gotta organize the buds coming in and out.

The more you dry and wait the more of the natural decarboxylation happens, the cannabinoids in acid form should start to losing their carbon molecules slowly as the plant goes thru oxidation and drying happens. It’s all one big chemical reaction happening.

I’m not an official islander per say but in my past island grow experience some of the cultivars that seem to take the short season are white widow, ak47 and these 2 are classic and renowned cultivars, you can even find great Canadian breeders that have these seeds.

And the white widow and Ak 47 are sooo popular they have auto versions of them.

I’m no expert on autos I have officially only grown one it was a diesel auto and as soon as I started stressing it that was it, she didn’t grow anymore and flowered.

I would suggest for you since you have a permanent and secure grow area, try doing early light deprivation for outdoors if you want to have a early flower and harvest. Start giving your ladies a 12 hours dark cycle as early as late July all thru August and by end of September everything should be done.

It’s labour intensive but worth it.

White widow and NL seems popular with south and mid island outdoor growers. My impression. I've been out of the outdoors volume game a long, long time. Trying to think of something mixed 90/10 sativa myself for outdoors, that I'll veg indoors, then in June put in beast mode on my roof. Light dep. fence is already 50% built up there, chain link w/ chicken wire roof, hope 6x6 was big enough, height is adjustable. It's merely for the experience and personal supply of a nice outdoor sativa. Hopefully the seeds I have already do the job, you'd get a better answer from Dani what they are than from me. I'll keep my ears open tho for what's working, esp. Sativa-heavy, and remember to share it here.

I wasnt expecting that but I will humbly take it, And with that comes great responsability keep adding buds to the already impressive list of great cannabis grown in BC and right here on the island.

IRIE man Jah bless
:Rasta:

And what a day its been I have partially taken down some weight on Xenomorph and all is secure, we have landed! Next week I have a second one coming.

I second that motion... here here.. ( or is it hear hear )

Pleasure to grow here on the Island. I just gotta keep em coming!
It's done Dan! Walk proudly.
