DUTERTE’S NIGHTMARE

Beast mode, makes everyone look small.

DURBAN DPXFM

They all got watering with my tea mix; the more I look into what is in the tea is pretty much plant based. With the exception when using Livestock manure. I’m always surprised how much these weeds make for incredible good source ready to use fertilizer.

Great info, pics & Beautiful plants! Congrats on Grow Journal of the month...Well deserved!

This is my light schedule, I use it every year since I started growing outdoors.

Once solstice hits they should fast forward all thru July buildings up buds, the preflowering show can go several weeks. I have maybe 3 weeks to make up my mind if I am in fact doing light dep or not. I’m really having mixed feelings I am incredibly busy and don’t know if I can commit to another regular scheduled task.

I know brother, it’s not precisely Cancún here where I am at; but Vancouver Island sure beats Montreal (weather wise, not food wise or cool people wise).
My entire intention of moving to BC and Van Isle is the grow zone I am at, Zone 8 it’s as good as it can get in Canada. Just living in a rain forest makes it ridiculously wet around fall hence mold and rot are kings here.

Hey Danishoes21 hope you don't mind if I follow along, I read back from the beginning of your current grow you definitely have a great take on your journal plants & techniques congrats on the journal of the month

 

[Danishoes21]

Those fan leaves are so big :0 it’s beautiful!

Thanks brother, I'm happy to see them take off and seems like the environment I created is paying off. I wont be ripping them out of the ground mid flower lol


how is life brother? kids family job? and cannabis plants? share a photo of your girls here if you like TC

Thanks for the kind words, and glad you like the content and plants; I like sharing my method for organic gardening, works flawless.
Stick around the fun is about to begin.

Hi Con, thanks for dropping by, my respects to you likewise and please join anytime; I seen you growing outdoors too so we can exchange tips and experiences.n I seen your training as well kudos I like the intense training.

I find I can do training on mine because its a micro grow (15 plants plus a couple clones), anything bigger it would be a pain to hand train over 100 plants. I enjoy bending and shaping plants, but nothing compares to cannabis when it comes to bouncing back.

Can’t complain to much other needing more money which I’m sure everyone can agree with lmao my son is starting school in September and my daughter is starting to become more mobile and eating solids.

Working as much as I do it differently puts time in perspective watching them grow but only being able to spend a few hours a night with them is tough.

Otherwise work is going well we are in a weird spot right now due to outside sources messing with our flow so around this time we are normally 6 days a week 11-12 hours a day just to keep up. My year is almost up so that means I’m gonna get a raise and that will be a huge help!

How about you how’s life in the land of sunshine well more sun then we get lol

Edit : site went down mid post it seems

Working as much as I do

Tell me about it bro, 2 part time jobs plus a farming gig... and I still run the wallet dry by end of the month. Economy is a pile of garbage right now... 50$ buys any Canadian 1 milk jug, 1 block of cheese, 1 loaf of bread, several cans of sauce or beans, 1 oz of cheap coffee, and possible a dozen eggs, maybe a pasta or rice... thats it man, thats not even a meal...

glad you keeping it together brother, kids grow fast and cost lots lol.

 

[Danishoes21]

Once I stop complaining about the economy I go outside and check on my grow.

Side note;
We are days away from harvesting our first pair of cauliflowers; we won the battle against cabbage worm. Using willow tea foliar and neem oil to keep our organic standards. Grasshoppers having a blast eating foliage but they are under control, as soon as foliar hits them they take off.

Our beloved cannabis is putting on the show now;

This is probably my second time ever growing Auto flow hybrids, it’s been fun and relatively easy to grow. I still have no clue on the genetics on this one; but we all seen the grow… I got her on a 2 sqft unit. Not bad for such a short veg time she is probably close to 2 and a half months old (give or take) not sure I never keep track of days.
I would say she still has a several weeks left before harvest. I trained the heck out of it, found that in the first weeks of flower she didn’t like it causing it to produce monoecious flower parts (having both stamens and pistils on the same bract)… even still the apical dominant bud took off, I couldn’t keep it held down; it’s pulling so much on that clip I have on it. Totally insane for an Auto.
I’m NOW very pleased with this plant, she comes a blessing as first to be harvested and potentially giving me dry flower mid summer.

 

[Danishoes21]

The other Auto flow, has incredible scent, and is now producing a considerable amount of flowers; I trained hard excluding the main top as it’s not taking it and the apical dominant stem has been hit several times…
I worked the lower and mid section of the plant.
She is 2ft tall and 2ft wide so almost same mass as the other just this one is vertical. Color seems to be light green. Smells great.

Side note;
I’m fascinated on all the insects and creatures that have now found a home in and around our grow this year. We pride ourselves in promoting a complete organic Microsystem/microclimate so everything can thrive. I now see frogs visiting my willow tea container and seen them at the base of the plants. We seen a spider before and I leave undisturbed for the whole food chain to be active. Everything self regulates.
Growing outdoors is by far the best therapy I have found; it helps me and motivates me so much to see life thrive and unfold in front of me.

I have done everything you are “not to do” on Auto flows; lol even clones in mid flower:

I left them outside the whole day yesterday. They are 2+ weeks old, still alive and growing. Very tiny steps but the have new sets of leaf.

If you wondered;

Malawi/haze and Honduras best friends now living outside. Let’s go phenos show me stamens we need some pollen at some point this year.

 

[Danishoes21]

And last but not least these 2


PSF1XFM

Got it real good this time, all over. No merci on the apical main. I see the same stem as the mom, tough and fibre hard to bend once it’s hardened and woody. The base of this pheno is already a tree trunk. Still not reveal sex but I’m looking at it doesn’t seem a male crossing fingers. Could be a late finishing pheno.

DURBAN DPXFM

Stepped on her big time, hit hard too hard snapping a top side branch, all good. I went hard on them because I will be absent for 2 days.

couple of days I posted this picture here;

dark zap coming out of the stem of one of my phenos; and went on the internet to find answers.

Why is my weed Bleeding?

I just received this interesting question from one of our valued customers:"Hey Professor Sprout,I ended up popping some of those Peanut Butter Herijuana and they are doing amazing so far! They are still a bit young but I'm really enjoying growing these! Unfortunately I lost 2 because they were...

www.lucky13seeds.com

"This substance giving the fluid it’s deep purple colour is anthocyanin, a phytochemical that gives blueberries, blackberries and other dark fruit their signature pigment. If you were to taste it, it is quite bitter."

What is Anthocyanin?

Anthocyanin - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Not implying I might have a purple very unique plant, but time will tale. Just a trait to notice further in time. This is my PSf1 and I know that I have seen 3 phenos in the past one being a purple finisher.

Reading a breeders website he describes a male plant bleeding...

"Genetics:

ZACATECAS TRIBUTE (Green Mountain Seeds):

“This mostly Mexican cultivar was produced to try to capture the essence of some of the rarest Mexican cannabis strains on the planet. The once revered and thought to be extinct in pure form: purple Zacatecas Mexican sativa, which is clearly present in Big Sur Holy Weed genetic heritage, kept as an IBL. Big Sur Holy weed is legendary in her own right, and it was crossed in this hybrid with of one of the top ten rarest legendary Mexican strains: Green Mountain Seeds' exclusive Oaxacan Gold.”



ZACATECAS P2 x MICHOACAN (Snowhigh Seeds):

“The Zacatecas purple creates large green and purple plants, massive large and long colas that used to be the norm in the 80’s and further back in time. Killer uplifting smoke that’s energetic and happy and colorful. Great day and night weeds. The Zacatecas is a large upright-growing Mexican which can produce large colas of green and or purple in color. This is what was smuggled out of Zacatecas to save what was left. Is this the famous Zacatecas Purple I can’t confirm, only that it came from Zacatecas and it’s very nice and some phenos turn purple. The Michoacán male also bleeds purple sap and comes from a line which can sometimes bleed red and black as well as the purple. The Michoacán is a narrow leaf sativa which produces long colas. The Mexicans are happy, colorful, can be extremely potent, psychedelic. The Zacatecas is what grew there in the early 2000’s and the Michoacán is an old heirloom variety.”



Outdoor flowering: Early to mid October"

Hey Dani I forgot you asked for a photo of my plant it’s a little cringe but near the end of flower (I think) then I have something planned in a new tent I’m pumped!

Won’t complain at all on some fine frosty looking buds my friend. Bring her home nice and dry.

Great to have you journaling again brother; tag me on your next adventure.

Thanks Dani I’m still trying to figure out medium and containers. I would love to grab a bunch of airpots but my wallet and Julia say no lmao. But ya after this girl is cured I’ll be getting it under way. I moved this tent closer to the window so hopefully more airflow from not having so long of a duct run. I was looking at DWC but I totally do not have the time to make sure it’s not flooding lol so many choices one thing for sure is I’ll be running 3 plant of the grapes and maybe a death bubba with a trellis if I can get all of them to fit in a 3x3

 

[Danishoes21]

“PINK KUSH”

She looks pretty good. Won’t make the cut for breeding either.

PSF1XFM

I’ve seen this pheno before, not showing much of the father traits. I see mostly the mom geno and pheno, lanky, throws out 3 to 5 leaflets on young side branches, has big dark green fan leaf. Late finishing… exciting to grow.


“SUPER LEMON HAZE”

Just growing this for fun, she looks nice. Doesn’t make the cut for breeding.


DUTERTE’s NIGHTMARE

Male or female worth keeping this pheno. It’s the best I’ve seen this year.

DURBAN DPXFM

Started to show very intense indica traits, considerably broad leaf, compact node spacing, it doesn’t seem to grow at the same rate as the other Durban cross pheno. Not too sure what to do with this pheno yet, if male not sold on it yet.

Of real interest for me at this moment is Duterte’s pheno and the PSf1XFM pheno.

Tell me about the pots bro, freaking expensive. But they do improve lots for roots. Maybe worth the investment. Try Geopots I think the grow bags?

I remember you started to gear up last year for a good indoor set up.

@TwelveCoffee , Or how about try a bucket SIP? You can often get them free or cheap from a bakery or grocery store, and the rest of the build is pretty straightforward and inexpensive. You might have more success with them if you gave the tried and true design a go.

I like them all but hey I don't know a thing about making seeds on purpose.

Love the color of your plants braddah.. Perfect!
