Update
Today we will have a formal update. We have decided to do just normal chores in the grow this weekend since it is my birthday on Tuesday and I just want to relax for once on a weekend. It always seems that we are doing something down there and I just want to sit around today and chain smoke joints.
Flower Room
Here we are at the start of day 8 and they are looking very very healthy. They have been getting brix once a week, 3/4 strength de-stress twice a week and yesterday we used the leaf wash. The leaf wash has a peppermint smell to it and definitely does the job at washing the leaves. Blasted more dead mite bodies off of the leaves and it is very hard to find ones that are alive. It seems that the tutankahmon is the only one that has any crawling around a little bit, but with this weeks round of foliar sprayings I think we will be victorious. We will not let up on the fight but the end is near. Yesterday they got their first full strength trans drench and it looks like they loved it. Really haven't noticed much pistil formation as of yet but usually right around day 10 or so is when you have a good amount. So onto the pictures!
Crown Royale
This thing is a tree! With the awesome light penetration I think she will fill out quite well. The leaves are as soft as silk when running your hand through her. 38" inches tall currently and is loving life.
Strawberry Cake
This one had the most mites at one time and now there isn't a single one on it now. Finally some good looking plants. Roughly 24" tall.
Kosher Kush
The fans were blowing in this one. Damn sideways leaves lol
I just noticed that I didn't take any of the
blue dream and the
tutankhamon today so you get to see them in the group shot.
Veg room
Babies!
All 5 Birds of paradise seeds have successfully broken ground and have shed their shells. Here is the info from dynasty genetics.
Strain Name: Birds of Paradise
Breeder: Professor P (Dynasty Genetics)
Height: medium/tall
Weight (yield): Heavy
Flowering time in days: 60-70days
Sativa/Indica ratio: 60/40
-
With over 12 years of accumulative efforts invested into the development process, Birds of Paradise has an incredibly unique terpene profile that has kept us on the edge of our seats. Both parents were bred and selected based mainly upon medicinal values, which makes this strain very effective for multiple conditions of patients.
-
The mother of this strain is our Kali Snapple (Pineapple/Snowbud x pre 2000 Kali Mist). She expresses tropical smells of pineapple/fruit, which blend excellently with undertones of fuel and skunk. Most of these traits have been passed onto the offspring.
-
Blue Heron was the male used, and he contributes a beautiful terpene profile ranging from blueberry/fruit/rose/ incense. The blue heron also sped up the boom time and added another level of resin to this hybrid.
-
Large plants, colorful blossoms and tropical/fruity/fuel smells will be found throughout the gene pool of the Birds of Paradise. Trichome coverage is above average and on some plants will look like optical illusions when they are ripe.. (Immense trichome coverage skews perception). Faster phenos leaning towards the Blue Heron have also proven to be amazing plants for outdoor growers.
-
Enjoying the natural beauties of the "Birds of Paradise" is inevitable, when a treasure trove of terpenes wait tantalize your senses.
Taste (burned and unburned): Pineapples/berry/skunk/rose
Scent (burned/unburned): Tropical fruit and berries with hints of rose.
What the dried bud/crumbled bud looks like: extremely frosty
Speed of high onset: Immediate
Duration of high: 4-6 hours
Quality/type of high: The high begins with a cerebral effect, which transitions to a full body effect after the initial onset.
Medicinal qualities: Anti-anxiety, pain, nausea, MS, IBS, insomnia, increased artistic vision
Birds of Paradise has an enticing tropical/fruity smell that serves growers well as an easy to grow medical strain. The high is thought provoking and borderline psychedelic, which should be handled with care.
SSH has been topped and is going vertical.
Some blue dream and tutankhamon clones. No roots yet but there are zero bugs. Off to a great start.
Pakistan valley flux
Some young autos in the kit...and a
lemon venom soon to be grafting flux
Then we have 2
devils carnivals clones that have been put to the test. I wanted the 1s to be just a giant ball of roots. I think we have gotten pretty close.
That's all I have for today so it is time to roll a bunch of joints and I think we will pull out the 7pipe twisty glass blunt today. Give it another go. Yesterday when we were out and about we were using our new Kind Pen vape. It works great and I bet canna will do a good review of it.
Hope everyone has an awesome day today. Smoke em if you got em!
That should make the girls happier. I got thrips in my soil and I should have taken some precautions, second time this happened. Now I will get properly prepared with my ollas and DE to fence off the thrips. Spinosad it was now next time they won't make it from eggs onto the plant.
