Vancouver Island 2022 Organic Grow

[TwelveCoffee]

@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.

Thanks Azimuth I’d have to look into it what’s the risk of flooding? I can normally only get down there for 10-15 mins a day

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.

Saw some Geo pots in a few Canadian websites and they are affordable so that’s a huge maybe! I still have pretty much everything the tent corners crapped out on me and Vivosun had no stock was going to make my own or try to mod the tent in the end it was easier to just go buy a new one

Ummm, like 0? The reservoir only holds a set amount, and you pour your watering down the feed tube. Once it starts dribbling out the overflow hole you're done. Doesn't get much simpler.

Thank you sir looked up a quick tutorial seems pretty easy to do I might try it out

Any questions, ask away.

Hey Dani this is the setup so far need to get a carbon filter might switch out the duct for a smaller length to just exhaust inside then use the longer for a intake

Looks pretty solid brother. Just some plants in there and you are all set to rock and roll. You still have the lights you had?

Duterte's Nightmare is looking amazing along with the other plants braddah..
Is the DN have a pretty consistent phenotype that you have seen? I would think so but I'm not to familiar with the strain.
Jah

So far I have seen 3 plants in total, the 2 female phenos I’ve seen share almost same structure but a slight difference in colors. The branching, inter node spacing, points in leaf, all seem consistent.

The 3rd I seen was the male, I have nothing to compare it with.
I now see the same leaf pattern on the PSf1XFM and the DPxFM (FM Filipino male aka Duterte male)

I think (based on pure assumptions) an IBL will show consistent pheno traits in their populations with the odd population that despite having the same genotype can show phenotypic plasticity and turn out to be something completely different on the outside; example a hermaphrodite pheno.

Check the PSf1XFM;

I know this cultivar, this is a totally new pheno for my personal Sativa lineage. I can see the Duterte pheno trait on the leaf and the structure, not the flowering still has a late flowering trait from what I am seeing today.

Check the DPxFM;

Leans more to the Duterte leaf than that of the Durban I seen last year. But has the even faster flower start. This is at 3 tops nodes all showing multiple pistils.

This is this years Duterte;

This is last years;

What you think bro?

 

[Danishoes21]

Here is todays photo dump;

My energy is drained from community due diligence but hey I pat myself on the back and happy I shared my thoughts; if they make an impact or not… not worried. It’s about expressing oneself.

If anyone would try to convince me that you can’t train an auto… here are my arguments.

The other Auto in the “SIP” environment;

The babies spent their first weekend by themselves and outside;

Everything is healthy, thriving and eating up the sun like no tomorrow.

One question for the auto experts; when do you pull the plug on the plant? 60-70days? Or going by trichomes Color?

I'm speechless and completely stoked bro..she is gorgeous my friend.
From my seat, like you mentioned very similar

 

[TwelveCoffee]

Plants are looking good brother! With my auto I feel like I hit the harvest me wall - little to no new growth in the flower, fading colours and sugar leaves pointing straight up in the air then I asked for help just to make sure don’t want another DE type of incident!

Did you breed your personal sativa outside as well? Also where you are do you find you get some seedy weed from the green houses around the area? I’m not sure how you expressed yourself cause I didn’t see it but you’ve done so before and your still here I doubt anything bad will happen my man

well im no expert but i go by color of the trichomes usually 10-20% amber

DURBAN DPxFM

9:30 pm light;

Still waiting on sex reveal on 4 out of 5. They look good, they Healthy and bugs are under control, moving slowly compared to the other phenos. They got time.

I am pretty stoked on some of these phenos, and training is doing the trick. It’s going smooth this year.

Yeah bro I’m like not seeing much action on one, like still has either pistils on it but slowly decreasing and I see more calyx forming so might let her rip it for a couple more weeks.

Regarding the personal Sativa I did that indoors. I was back in Montreal but I ran then on my balcony and then guerilla. Tested out phenos and them back indoors. Did that from 2013-2018. 2018 was when I finally put my work to test in a farm out on Barkley sound on Van Isle. That’s when everything came together and first time I seen all my beans grow properly.

Seeded bud? Nop not in Canada. At least not where I am. In a urban setup I can see that happening cross pollination.

And when I was saying expressed myself; it’s all that stuff regarding contests, people cheating, rules, multiple wins in same year by same member. You know all that community talk… I think I will stick to just posting pictures and writing. Not much love being spread around bro, people here got their clicks and I’m a lone wolf so I don’t grind with clicks, and the clicks don’t like my shit.
I for one think it’s just because I grow organic and don’t buy any fertilizer, I don’t buy sponsor products I basically don’t buy shit, I make all my stuff from soil to fertilizer, I don’t promote any brand… I am not a comercial grower I grow underground stuff. I get it I am not popular but boy oh boy do I have an opinion.

I was thinking of bending the knee and do a sponsored outdoor grow with a sponsor seed and sponsor fertilizer brands… but I rather just leave for the others.

Good morning Dani,
I enjoy reading your journal and like to hear the opinions of others even if I don't agree or if that opinion stings me a little. I am socially awkward sometimes, and I didn't even know it. Kinda like that entertainer that everyone tells to smile and he responds back that he was smiling.
I too am a little apprehensive about contest/competition. I voted for the first time this month. I didn't know if it was customary to vote for oneself, I accidentally voted for an entry when I was still going through the entrants and couldn't change it.
I guess it's like a lot of things for me, I may not be too thrilled about it, but others are, and it's not all about me.
I too am opinionated about many things, and have to remember that in most cases, nobody cares what I think so I must try to remember that. I have a hard time backing down when I think/know that I'm right or in the right.
That being said, I think I will enter contest, when I have something worth putting out, and I will check them out and try to make voting decisions. It's even harder when the entrants in a category seem very dissimilar, soil/hydro, veg/flower, inside/outside.
I enjoy being on the forum and have found the members here as a whole are very friendly. I had to build up my grow area over time and I'm retired now. So, I'll just enjoy my grows and the fruits thereof and try and remember my blessings.

You are not alone my friend. They're a few lone wolves around here and when we see each other we show our love and respect to one another.
Folks like you and some others are the reason why I sign-in daily.
Keep being you my friend.

Jah love

Good morning and thank you for the kind words.

You might consider yourself socially awkward but your answer right above is of a gentleman and well spoken one. I nominated your grow journal because of how you grow and how you display it says much about who you are and what you are about.
The way we journal is the a reflection of who we are and to much extent a projection of our egos. Let’s face it we have a god role when we grow; we decide when plants eat, drink, mate, ultimately live or die. I can understand how some have not yet tamed their egos and let loose out here. It’s part of the grower diversity I am a part of; and I for one respect a lot diversity it’s a key part of my grow and lifestyle, so I accept all the different personality traits displayed here by members.

I had wrote a longer piece before the forum went down for maintenance; it’s all lost. Sorry I can’t rewrite a moment of clarity but I think I captured the essence of my message.

Thank you for being around, I appreciate your work, and now your personality is coming to light, I appreciate it too.

Keep it weird and socially awkward bro.
