thanks man.. i was a little surprised when i saw the leafs changing.. but it looks really nice

this thing is full of surprises!

and my bubba kush.. id like to cross these two strains eventually (i also have some blue streak i will probably try with).. just think they would be a great match for each other personally probably wont do any wonders for yield but the smoke should be top notch

 

[stevefrench]

finally found some seeds forming, i can only see a couple right now (and they're kinda hard to get a picture of)

 

[mossy]

Sure looks seeded to me.
I know you were worried you were late pollenating..
but Hell..like I say those AF's just Love your touch and they are going out of their way to grant your every Wish

That is how they suckered me in too m8..
nothing like a compliant giving girl to make you lose your head..
then WOOF..they have you
and They have You in Training...

Don't fret too much..they are Worth it..

Congratulations m8..looking forward to seeing the Progeny..

 

[stevefrench]

They have You in Training...

definitely. this is very much a training course for me

think im getting the hang of it now, took a while but hard work pays off.

hopefully this baby can come down in the next 10 - 14 days

i got some blue streak seeds recently from a trade on another forum, the trade was for 10 and he threw in 12.. i pulled the trigger a couple days ago and germinated the extras in hopes i might be able to get another one in before my season comes to an end

we'll see what happens

hey man. the jems look fantastic. hope you gets some seeds. that specific plant looks very like it has some very promising traits. those blue streaks need a very very light soil. the first time i grew them was in a semi-dense soil with only about 10% perlite. the second trial i used a very light potting mix from my local garden store. with about 20% perlite and 10% vermiculite added on top of what was already included. they have grown so much better this time around. i have noticed with all my mdanzig seeds, they all like very light soil. just a minor pain in the ass because watering is a bit more often the usual.

 

[stevefrench]

thanks for stoppin by' smokey.. i hope i get some viable seed too..

my favorite part is the smell.. kind of a bitter citrusy smell thats quite inviting

the soil the blue streaks are going into has a decent amount of perlite in it (i like lighter soil mixes anyways) but is really just a mix of used soil/compost.... they arent a huge deal right now and my plan was pretty much to throw them in there and hope they survive the coming months

well... and i wanted to make sure i didnt get some bunk seeds

You have to grow with what you have.
Resources..time and conditions.

I have had the AF's grow through in re-used soils no probs..
I was taught you didn't grow in old soil because the bugs/molds
have multiplied in it..
so it means you have to be more vigilent.
I find long season girls more forgiving too..they have longer catch up time.

Thoughts with you m8.

and cheers for the mail.

Yeah..they still get the Whip out to me every now and then..
But..
I think I know most things that keep them happy now.

 

[mossy]

Agh..Ive just spotted the TRIC shot..
I'm catching up..

Man...She is FINE..

Beautiful.

You are doing a Brilliant job with her..

It won't let me add to your Rep again..until I spread more around.

definitely.. i use fresh soil when i can (it is on my list of things to buy right now..) but i try not to spend money when growing if possible..


im not afraid to put my girls through some rough conditions though.. i like to see what they can take

on another note, i found out my camera is capable of much more detail than i thought

 

[La Buena Hierba]

wow verry nice pic

 

[SmokeyTheBear]

how many mega pixels is your camera?

 

[stevefrench]

4.0 mega pixels.. it a fuji finepix a340(that has seen much better days), i also have a 12x magnifying lens to put over the end

 

[mossy]

Oh..just beautiful man..
your photography has just woofed..

Well Done m8.
That is gonna torment the life out of us all..

im not afraid to put my girls through some rough conditions though.. i like to see what they can take

Yup..I agree 100%
You have to know what they are capable of.
If you do not know What your plant is capable of..how can you improve it?

I plan to run a pre-fert compo v's plain compo test next season.
Side by side..see if we can either prove or de-bunk the theory.
Test..test..test..

Friday Bud Show in main forum tomorrow..
LBH has set us up a thread specially..
First one in puts the coffee on...

 

[stevefrench]

well.. between reading it doesnt bother these girls to snip off a bud, and looking at all those milky trichromes.. i decided to harvest a bit early a few days ago and leave the bottom half ripen up with seed

she still seems happy.. i'll get more pictures of whats left in a bit

.. will post a full smoke report later on

 

[shroomyshroom]

steve well done cuz very nice job

 

[thatguy123]

Looks very tasty.

 

[mossy]

Beautiful...

 

[Meaty]

Good job steve

Hows she smoke?

 

[IceColdCrickets]

how did i miss this thread? Great Job stevefrench, please let us know how she smokes. I always cure my JEMS for 2-3 weeks, what you going to do?

 

[stevefrench]

thanks all! smokes veryyy nice even right now, it is only a wee bit harsh sometimes (just because it wasnt fully dried/cured yet i assume)

taste is pretty good..much like the smell.. will probably be better with curing, smell is hard for me to pinpoint though..a little bit earthy but over all mostly citrus/lemon.. and something else i cant put my finger on

as soon as my herb is properly dried it always goes right to curing.... im the guy who hands out mason jars when he see's people keeping their weed in bags at home

i usually cure for a minimum of around 2 weeks
