hey there dank lovers its time for my first grow diary here at icmag.
hope you all are ready for a sweet showing here.. lets get down to the basics..
i'm growing in a c22 cab. sweet ass cab.
previously i've run a 400w hps hortilux with magnetic xtrasun ballasts. air was moved by a 180cfm activeair blower on the top of the cab. hood was valuebright but i didn't run it a/c style. it doesn't fit in the c22 unless you angle it. had a little turbofan blowing across for circulation. i have some goodies and upgrades in store for later.. be patient.
here are some shots from my first ever grow. was bagseed.. thought to be super silver haze (bud/female) x white widow (pollen/male) that was exposed in my friends growroom. could also have been super silver haze hermies, i dunno. i took them to 80 day veg with lst style and pruning.
had a killer yield with this one of almost 13 zips. but the smoke wasn't entirely memorable. it was great fun tho and i learned a lot. prepared me for more decent genetics.
so i got around to a second go.. didn't document with pictures all the way through tho. i had five smaller plants that i took to 14 days veg then into flower and they were left to tree up. i am smoking this right now and i wish that i could have been smart enough to reveg the one of these plants that really stood out. i had smaller pots to fit them all and the since they got pretty tall (~3ft) the light wasn't as efficient (on the second grow, same bulb.. and the penetration) i only pulled 7 ounces.
i had run some f2 seeds a friend made with his 'prize' males from some decent genetics. i started about 20 seeds ended up with 5 nice females. 3 blue moon rocks f2's, 1 super silver haze f2, and a random hermie seed that we found in some sour bubble nug. took em all to 65 days even tho one was done around 50.
here's how they played out.. the blue moon rocks clearly dominated. easily the best genetics here. these plants were all wonders.. quick growing.. healthy.. solid structures.. quick finishing.. beautiful, beautiful.
pheno 1 was a stout indica dom plant that didn't branch. just had a single solid cola. this one was ready around 50 but it bulked up more the last few weeks and i believe letting it go longer helped to ensure a damaging stoney red eyed smoke. very sleepy this one, and strong. the smell and taste are similar and have that slight bog *twang* and some irish spring soapy undertones. not much blue moon influence.
phenos 2 and 3 (both pictured) were the real showstoppers here. the blue moon genetics came through full force here. even stronger than the original blue moon rocks these f2's were so pleasant. obviously my favorite smokes this weed never ceases to amaze. i don't know if blue moon has thcv in large amounts but i'd be willing to bet on it. these nugs reeks of pledge cleaner and have such beautiful calyx (i wish my cam were better so you could see!) and both of these displayed dark 'thai' style leaves that curled down on the buds. its the only smoke of the group that gets me to that level with just one hit every time. tolerance seems nil and the ceiling on this is high up there if existing at all. i could go on and on.. wish i would have kept at least one of these to reveg..
the sour bubble was boring.
i don't even care to go on. i will say that my friend grew out 3 phenos of this and two were great, grapey bubblegum with fruit loops in your mouth aftertaste. the third was not as good.. had a milder smell still decent. this is the one i found a hermie seed in and it proved useless. if i could get a pack of sour bubble genetics right now i would in a heartbeat because from the original seeds it was killer indica madness. this just did not turn out well. barely any potency and weak spicy bubblegum weirdness flavor.
the last plant was the super silver haze f2. it was a tri-branching plant that ended up with 2 tops when i left it to tree up with no pruning.
this smoke is okay but i feel like again the parents were much better. i don't know there just isn't much resin here.. low potency.. mild spicy smell. not really worthy of the super silver haze moniker. although this did display a nice foxtail structure. it doesn't get me high when i've been smoking the blue moon and other random danks so much recently.
now onto the recent happenings......
