Power move ditching the OG. I just took the worst harvest ever from one. 6 measly ass ounces, vegged for more than 8 weeks. Ughh, it's gonna be a long month.

I can’t even tell if you’re being serious or not Skybound 
cause that yield sounds ok in my grow where I veg and flower forever to get a few ounces. But then you’re growing in a whole different league as far as rate of growth, with your hydro system. I’ve heard nothing but good things about that strain. But had problems with my lights at the time- want to start fresh with a new seed when I have time to give it more love.
The colloidal silver after a day and a half.
I unplugged it and will bottle it up later after work to spray the PC with.
Climbed up the dreaded tree this morn and jack-legged the booster antenna back up. Back to the civilized life again...

...I'll be interested in seeing how the CS works for you...have you used it before...with success?...cheerz...h00k...

I been working with this Kush for almost a year and the best I could get out of it was 14.5 zips. Mind you, I aim for at least a pound per plant, and prior to OG, I rarely got less than a pound. I have the last OG half way through bloom then I'm done with it. I have two more beans that I'll likely never grow again. So yeah, I was being serious. Last chop was 9 zips, this one 6. I'm so looking forward to working with new genes. Triple Cheese for the next few rounds till the PCs catch up, then I'll run both in 3 bloom rooms evenly space apart in time.
I remember when King John C used colloidal silver on his LA Confidential and he was able to limit pollen sacks to only where he sprayed. I hope you get the same results.

Yeah I plan to use it to spray one small PC plant, and pollinate another small PC with the results if there are any. I don’t mind if it pollinates a few surrounding plants. In the past I found that it didn’t create a huge number of seeds.
I used it a couple times before, with mixed results. Generally speaking it only produces hermies on the area you spray- possibly creeping down the sprayed branch a little beyond the part you sprayed.
I did manage to make a bunch of seeds with it before. But- in some cases the pollen didn’t seem viable and didn’t produce any seeds at all. I’m not sure why. Maybe I stopped spraying too soon- or too late. I’m going to hit up that ‘using CS’ thread to see if there’s a consensus on the best way to go about it.
There’s a lot of back and forth re whether the CS could turn the sprayed ( or even the non-sprayed) portion of the plant toxic. Nobody knows, is what it amounts to. I don’t really see the need to use any of the sprayed plant except to create pollen- so I’ll just toss it out after.

You could take the plant you want to stress out and put a black bag over it leaving the branch/es you need free, you only get pollen from these just make sure you move them out when they're mature or they'll pollinate everything

My experience wih CS was that the hermies don’t seem to produce a whole lot of viable pollen. The first time I used it I let the sprayed plant do its thing in the flowering room and only got a few seeds in each of several plants around. After the last experiences I had, where nothing got pollinated at all, I’m tempted to just leave it in the room and let the chips fall where they may. If I’m wrong and end up with a billion seeds... I guess that.... will suck.
I've kinda done that. I just shove a pollinator in there for a few hours. Seeds on all the plants, but if you limit the time, one might see something that didn't ruin your whole harvest.
super stoked you is growin an og/mack. me too,, told ya already,, will post some pics for ya tomorrow. would be interested for you to tell me the 'exact' label on the seed as there are two close strains,, and i am growing both right now,, and i tell ya,, one of em.. wont say which,, is simply fine,, a recent harvest as well as in flower now,, buds are darn fine,, i will post a pic of that too,,manana
i miss a good west coast storm friend,, i really do,, the okanagan just does not get extreme enuf for me, to satisfy my extreme weather cravings,, rarely thrilling weather wise
there is always a tiny bit of 'danger' associated with a west coast island storm,, with the trees and wind and all,, my wee dose of extremeism,,ha
every cabin needs some flowers,,
and a rooster,, that rooster is chicken,, but not afraid,,,
that is his name
Chicken the rooster
cheers friend

Good idea. I don’t have any good separate area to keep a pollinator - but maybe with things being so legal here and whatnot, that might help with that issue of finding a space.
Hmmm... I’m not sure I can as I translocated the seeds to a different container soon after ripping open the envelope with eager hands. But I’ll look around.
Yeah Nivek it’s terrifically energizing! The danger is real
I think anyone who’s spent a little time out on the ocean can’t help but feel a chill up their spine when they hear those type of winds. Storms can’t really get their terrible jaws around me in the cabin I live in now but they sure would if they could. Last shack I lived in was more exposed on a ridge, but surrounded by large spruce trees, and I spent many white knuckle nights being slammed around in there. Just one falling piece of the massive mossy branches above me could have probably crushed that hovel flat. Very fun though, in a way. Who needs sleep? Out on the open west coast is where things get really awe inspiring. I have to confess that the more marine experiences I have with the storms... well, in a way you get used to dealing with it, but in another way I see death in those elements more clearly each time. I’m kinda wimpy that way I guess- had my share of scares The girlie happens to be out on a far island working in a camp at the moment and I talked to her on the sat-phone today. She described watching this rock offshore yesterday- which is 110 feet tall according to the charts- she said there were waves like mountains hitting it that slammed up gouts of water and spray twice the height of the rock. The sound is unbelievable. In some ways it’s sort of like a scene from hell. Makes a person feel tiny anyway.
Nice plant by the way!
Hey Brother, checkout this info I posted in my journal a few months ago regarding an interesting way to produce pollen from a female: Tales From The Krip!
That's the scene I sometimes describe. I say the rock is man; the spume and spray is woman.

Thanks. I pasted it in here ( as you can clearly see
). That’s extremely interesting. A few months ago you say- have you tried this to see if it works?Cool looking journal too. I really wish I wasn’t already doomed to go to delinquent journal-follower hell for the other ones I wish I had the time to follow better.

I have not tried it yet. I won't be starting my breeding program for another 4 months, or so, but it's the first method I'm gonna play with.

I guess we know how that battle goes in the end... Those rocks- not the brightest bunch- but they sure are...firm.
If we are still alive by then maybe you’ll mention how it goes? Or there’s a good chance I’ll stumble across the results one way or another, wandering around.
And the waves ... relentless.
Hey I was thinkin'.
I'm kinda southeast of you. And between us there ain' much civilization ... is there. I bet half that distance is over land that hardly ever sees a human footprint.I always said you could see the end of the world from here. And just past that, I guess you'll run across Weaselcracker.
Yeah, darn it, you read it before I edited.
I'm down past the Rockies somewhere. You head southeast and you'll find the end of the world pretty quickly - in the western slopes perhaps.

Ha ha. I see- Southeast. Not quite as quiet as the southwest direction, but that big pile of rocks does tend to keep out the conquering hordes alright. It runs a long ways -swoops through a big chunk of the Yukon too- tends to get made into parks because people aren’t sure what else to do with it I’m mostly familiar with the northern half of it. Somewhere on my desk I have what looks like a fossilized antler spearpoint I dug up when doing some claim staking near the Yukon border. It was right on the tip-top of a barren peak I got dropped off on by chopper. The only smooth-worn object anywhere in that entire jagged landscape, really amazing how much it stood out. It’s an object I’d probably never even notice here on the coast where a lot of stuff is worn smooth, but in that place it was kinda shocking. Makes me wonder about the person who made that footprint there, however many hundreds of years ago.

Hahaha, you think you can see off into the never never... So your vision bends? Theres lots of nothing down here, under...
or thousands, or tens of thousands perhaps,,
a thot,, perhaps the ancient deer that was shot by the ancient hunter , perhaps that deer wandered up there, wounded,,
i found a groovin fossil , as you said,, right at the tip top of a mountain in kananaskis,, the rockies,, was a neat experience,, conjures up all kinds of pictures and stories in an imaginative mind, dont it?
here is a pic of the og-x bud,, 2/3 thru flower,, ,, yours will be amazing,, cant wait
mine stopped growing because of too low ph,,
i am gonna blame low ph for everything from now on,, yep
i have all the signs,, calcium deficiencies symptoms,, mag too, stop growth,, yellow discoloured leaves.
but i will not fix the cal mag issue, i will fix the low ph issue
i have been ph ing in the upper fives, high up,, perhaps too low considering i really must allow for ph pen error,, cuz all the visible plant signs are visible,,
cheers weaseley
