What's In Jim's Grow Room?

Good morning Magic Man. :kisstwo: I can't view most of your posted photos on this page. I think it's the cameras that are making it more challenging. My pictures from the iPhone can't be nearly as detailed as what you're taking.

I tracked them down the hard way, and it was so worth the effort. :love: This new platform made your pictures look even better. I love a tent full of flowers with red hairs. :slide: One of these days I'm gonna catch up with med threads and dip my toe into genetic manipulation. You're on a real roll here, aren't you? Lol! By the time I'm ready you'll be able to hold my hand all the way through.

Don't think I won't come looking for you. Thanks for the delightful romp through your garden. :hugs:
Oh goodie...hand holding :slide: It's good to see you and I'm glad you were able to track the photos down although I wonder why you couldn't see them.

I am wondering about the Pakistan Valley and the Blue Dreams. The orange and red hairs seem a bit early for them and it may be that they'll finish a bit sooner than the last run. They've had full spectrum of the Mars this time and I gave them an early barley malt elixir which I've read can speed ripening.

I had a heat spike to 93 F in the tent a couple of days ago. Plants were also a little on the dry side and Ultra Dawg seems to be the one plant to suffer a bit. Lower level of leaves affected the most but she just didn't like that heat. She'll be ok but she's hurt a bit. She's just not bred for indoors and deserves a bigger pot with more soil. I take credit for letting her get a little dry.

The last Labyrinth clone had a few roots at the bottom of the rock wool cube so she got potted up so she can grow out of her funk. This one took 19 days so she's just not an easy clone but a doable one.


I took a photo also of Labyrinth 1.1 just to show that they eventually do grow out and start to look pretty. She looked almost like the one above when she got potted up.


Have a great day folks. :love: :bongrip:
 
You got an OG pheno there I think if you look at these lanky stems, and they're slightly more sensitive indeed. They're also much more on the sativa/Chemdawg/OG side. This thing with big pots is real I can see... weird thing, cause who'd thought that it mattered and IT DOES! It's a weird plant, cause indicas usually are fine with smaller pots, they actually sometimes don't do that well in big ones, but UD is so mixed-up, it's hard to say. What kind of smell is she giving off? Once she hits mid flowering I could probably tell you quite precisely what you got.
 
I had a few male flowers that I could clip from the plant to collect some of Ultra Dawg 3's pollen. Then I could take these little slips of paper to the designated breeding area - my kitchen. I found that wax paper makes a much better collection tool vs parchment. It's a little slicker.

An Artist paint brush was used to hit the pistils. Targets were Ultra Dawg 1 and Fx 2. I hope it all works and produces a few seeds.





 
Hey there MJ... gardens looking mighty fine there bud! Looks like the Lab is right on schedule. They take their good ole time to get flowers but keep em watered and watch how fast they grow.

Lots of enzymes in the malted barley... will put the flowering plants in overdrive and you can expect a faster finish - doesn't mean less yields. Watch that Lab plant take off and bulk up pretty fast ... it's exponential. Just keep watering... my plants drink about a gal a day. Thats a lot of water.

Congrats on your clones.. I just got 1 for 15 <spit>... I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I used to get 90+%. My Lab clones always take 2-3 weeks ... just about the time they are about to get the toss.. a lil root tip shows up. It's crazy.. my DT will root in 4-7 days.

G/L with the coming down the stretch... it's going to start getting real here soon! Oh yeah.


Sub'd for the flower pics! :yummy:

Jim no regrets.. look to the future... wait for it... I miss my Chemdawg .. it's got everything in spades. Must try and not think about it. UD will help you thru!

Try Neptune seed bank for Chemdawg from Humboldt. It's place the order and make a call with CC. Good to go. Just got an order today took 2 days from Cali to Philly.

Thanks again for all your information. The Ultra Dawg may very well be the headstash e-ticket but I'm going to order some Chemdawg. Listened to about half of a podcast with Skunk VA last night about some history. I wonder about Ultra Dawg's history. What's the chance of the Chem 91 piece of this being from one of those original cuts? I had lots of little nuggets of information about UD in my blog. I'm fairly sure 420 mag is working on that somewhere down the road.

Making some seeds. I use the paintbrush method. Works great to isolate the pollen to one branch so you dont little surprises in the grinder.
It will last in fridge for several months. Best to be used fresh tho.
Happy daze brother MJ
My last adventure of seed production was a whopper. The whole tent of Blue Dreams was pollinated with a reversed Blue Dream.

I'm going to collect a bit more pollen from the male and then he's gotta go. His job is done.
 
Bob is right about the blooming girls requirement for more water. Not a gallon per day...not these pots but I'm really happy with all the flower production going on.

Minnie has been an outdoor cat but came in a bit during the real cold weather and visits quite often now. I'm pretty sure she gets a contact high when she's back there in the early mornings. She's 8 years old.

Team
is all happy and stuff. The next time I give some water to the Blue Dreams and Pakistan Valley girls in the back I'll get some better shots of them individually. They aren't very pretty but the buds are stacking nicely. Flower Day 42

Labyrinth - Flower Day 19




Fx 2 - Flower Day 19 She's the most sativa leaning phenotype of the five I have. Fx is a cross of Fast n Vast x Master Kush x Panama


Ultra Dawg 1 - Flower Day 28




Fx 1 - Flower Day 20



Blue Dream - Flower Day 42



Rainy day here and my dehumidifier is leaking somewhere. Always something around here. Anyway...Have a great day folks. Chemdawg in my pipe again today. :love:

So I'm gonna say the story once again... Chemdawg '91 wasn't used directly by Lem to make UD. He got a cross of Chemdawg '91 x NYCD from Soma himself. How legit was his cut? I don't have a clue and we'll never probably find out. The only seed he got popped was a male though and he used him to pollinate Aurora Ultra clone, which is how UD eventually came about :Namaste:

Thanks conradino23. That clears it up for me. And the rest of the story from another thread is:
Hmmm I've given them, haven't I? But ok, this strain is called Aurora Ultra, and was created in 2002 in SoCal by pollinating original OG Kush clone with MK Ultra male which gave my buddy a strain called Ultra OG that later was crossed to Aurora Indica for the purpling traits, and then backcrossed few times to original mother for stability.
 
My favorite picture....... looking good, Cheers Jim.........

We have a wild morning going on here. Sunny skies and wind expected to gust 45 to 50 MPH.

I'm starting to get a good feeling about this grow. Something new in here is going to be very good weed. I can feel it. I got the new seed grown girls out of the way so I could water the 2 Pakistan Valley and the 2 Blue Dream clones which are now on Flower Day 43. These are tried and true strains and I would be satisfied with a tent full of these but it seems I have to keep moving forward searching for that one which holds the secret sauce.

Here are the old girls with fresh photos.

Pakistan Valley







Blue Dream












UD Male I collected some more excess pollen yesterday and I'll finish it as best I can today so this one can go into the compost tumbler. That bottom flower is a prime source. I use a piece of wax paper about the size of a stick of gum and folded lengthwise at the center. Hold it under the small flower and clip with fiskars micro. It requires some coordination between the two hands.


These are almost ready to explode. I'm glad I decided to isolate him in my bedroom but I've had to put up with his smell for 10 days or so.


Started my morning with a little Chemdawg followed by Amherst Sour Diesel. :bongrip: Have a great day folks. :love:
