Hey mossy..

Hey mossy..

Ganja salad...mmmm lol.. Keep it green dude!


Update
Ok, so..the weather forecast for easter is great..hot, dry weather..perfect conditions(its a shame that i wont be here to enjoy it, off to Egypt next week..gonna be tokin' the herb, puffin' on Shisha's and kickin' up sand on quad-bikes..shame indeed lol.. ). One of the Fiesta's has shown sex, FM#4 to be exact..the first to show..i noticed the others are entering calyx development, looks like one of the 3D's is a very vigourous male.


When transplanting i noticed that all of them have very well developed roots, im extremely impressed..

..Soon it will be time to see how they root as clones.



^^Saint Peter(Trichocereus pachanoi i think), still waitin' on the peruvian torches to come...

Keep it green, im super stoked for this season..

Haha, thanks lads...ill be sure to snap many a picture to post up for all to see, i read that its the best place in the Arab world to score good Ganja too...so maybe ill get to sample the local/imported herbs, we shall see.

'Till nextime gentlemen..

Update..




^^The 3D that looks to be a male..is also a knarly Triploid mutant, it has a wierd nodal structure and one node near the top has 3 leaves..also sessile trichs on the top leaves. This one has been noted for special observation, and if it is a male..then he will be flowered out fully to truely realise the extent of his resin(if any..)

^^This is FM#4..she has shown first..still none the wiser to whether she's a Connie or an Astro..but either way..



^^Apollo11#6..very vigourous, looking forward to seeing whether its a pollen donor or a nug producer..either way i think ill use it for somthing.

Keep it green!!

BeAn..if I was speaking to you..

I would say..
For the first time..I wasn't taking notice of the girls..
I was talking notice of the nice little set-up you have there..
tidy ..
....
...Then.....I went back and ogled the girls..
Doing a Great job Marra..

but since you are getting a holiday..and I am not...I'm not speaking to ya.

Have a good time M8..and if you have a good smoke in exotic locations photo it..for those of us that are deprived...

Who is looking after the girls when you are away....

Wickid the plants!! my own fluro died on me yesterday, luckily after i ordered a new one which won't get here for another 3 days thanks to Easter (Happy Easter by the way) i'm trying to keep them alive under halogen, hope it works supporting 5 plants XD the sun isnt too good.

[BeAn]

Thanks for the kind words, and the holiday well wishes..ill be sure to pohtotgraph all the nuggies and hash i get my hands on.. My partner in crime is gonna be lookin after the girls, all they need is watering..they're just filling out into the new soil so they wont get too thirsty..

Han, Hey dude, thanks for dropping in.. Bean or Beano has been my nick for like forever, i think it was because i used to munch many a disco-biscuit when i was younger..lol.

Damn..damn..a camel for the patio could have been good..
as long as they are allergic to eating canna plants..
I'm gutted..
I need to visit the UK soon..I need the new plants onto the patio and the auto system set up...but the crap weather is not letting me get a chance.
I am fretting already.

 

[mossy]

Details....
Girls first..
Egypt second..
Whenever you are over the jet-lag...

 

[BeAn]

Mossy, Sorry dude...customs wouldnt let me through with the 6 camels i planned to bring back(swapped them for my Ipod and £60 Egyptian..lol) Had to leave them behind..

Whenever you decide to visit the UK, let me know....i think a smoke out is in order..

Be cool, hope the weather has warmed up..

Update


^^Its amazin' what difference a week can make, the great weather they promised while i was away looks to have payed off..



^^A slight lockout is showing, i knew this would happen..i forgot to top up the water butt and PH it to 6.5...so straight tap-water was used, my bad...


^^As soon as i get a chance, many clones will be taken from this girl...

Now some pictures from Egypt...(i only managed to take one decent pic of the different hashes, it was hit and miss without a computer to show full size pics..ill upload a few more later.)

Whenever you are over the jet-lag...

You sneaked that one in quick lol...completly missed the post!!
I now have enough females from the new selection, 1 3D girl and 3-4 Fiesta's..the Fiesta's look to be Astroboys, as they share smell..structure and 7 blades to a leaf...one of the 3D's is for sure a male, the one i mentioned earlier in the thread...he's startin' to cluster up now, pollen will follow in the next few weeks if left to reach sexual adolesence.

None of the A11's have shown sex yet, which could prove to be a twat in the gob later on...i dont want to have to veg and flower clones in the cab, only to find a few boys chuckin balls...i suppose i can always wait untill next run to try the A11's indoors..

I dont think ive detailed the mix they are in either, it looks like it works to me...:

John innes #2
Perlite
Worm poo
Chicken/poultry poo pellets(these stink!!)
Fish, Blood and Bone
(If theres anything else in there, ive forgoten it..sorry lol.. )

My fingers are itching to get these fruity hybrids into the cab and flowering those sucka's!! (when you rub the stems the smell is so nice, like tropical fruit all round..)

Be cool!!

Kooki, Thanks for droppin' in..your kind words are apprieciated..
Call back anytime.

 

[mossy]

C'mon tell me...you didn't bring me a camel..'cause you couldn't get it in the suitcase with Me Quad...
Quads would be good over here..
Guess my girls are on plain compo now..
composted camel sh*te is not now optional..damn..

Girls are looking Real good..I wouldn't quibble with the small amount of damage..I have only left mine twice..and both times they flourished..
I think I need to set up a web cam..so I can watch them when I am away.

The Hash looks soft and lush..happy daze..
Was the price/strength reasonable..
When we first came to Spain..we ended up buying some smoke off a Lucky, lucky man...
After that disappointment..we brought our own with us...

Hiya BeAn
Wow - things have been zipping along over here! Garden is looking great - and didn't know you've been to Egypt. Great pics - but I bet you're happy you didn't have to wander around in that sand box for 40 years!

Looking fine as always buddy - keep it green!

 

[BeAn]

Mossy, sorry dude...Mohamed wouldnt let me take the quads home with me, somthing about health and safety..dunno lol. Speaking of web-cams, i remember reading about a dude who rigged up a few cams and was able to watch his girls while working away, they were in an automated set-up too..pretty cool idea but extremly un-practical and expensive..lol.

The hash was expensive but the quality was top notch, i took me untill the last day to befriend the guy who got it for us...if i was there for two weeks, the second week we would have had it free lol...irony...lol.

Next time ill take a sack of Ganja with me, give the dudes over there a taste of British home-grown Ganja...

MGJ, LOL...very glad, but the Bedoewin peeps live out in the desert all year round...so it can be done, im thinkin of paying a guide to take me into the desert for a couple of nights next time i go..ive lived on Salisbury plain for weeks at a time, id love to camp it out in the desert lol..(not for 40 years though lol)

Many thanks for the kind words as always, drop back anytime for some hash brownies and a few bowls..

Update..

Ok, so...including the Lifesaver, we have 6 females showing thus far..2 FM's(#2 & #4..Astroboy i think, judging by structure) 2 3D's(#5 & #3) and A11(#5)..so clones will be taken soon as, and the cab will have the last bit of work done to it(to accomadate the 6.5L pots). We need a stash grow before anything else so thats on the cards first, then we'll play with the rest..fowering males inside and stuff, timing is a weak point of mine when it comes to grows...so please bear with me lol.

I havent decided what to do in the way of crosses, we have a great A11 male with alternating nodes(#2, i said i was drawn to this one early..) A wicked tri-foliate 3D female(#5), with some insane tropical smell present in veg..also FM(#4) has a great structure with stems that are extremely thick and hollow. Ive been meaning to start the rest of the Fiesta mix to find an Astrostud(and LR#2 for a AF side project), the plan is to let only the Astrostuds drop pollen first..but i could keep the FM beans in the fridge, and outcross everything with a couple of A11 males...then select the best from those beans, going back to make F2's of the Astoboys later on.

I definatly want to flower out a 3D male to full maturity, just to see what the other gender can produce...with a lineage of A13xJCxSQ i think he'll be awesome, we shall see..

Whatever happens, the next cross is going to be geared towards the Sativa's...whichever way it goes the selection will be for a heady smoke with a managable structure, shorter flower time and mouth-watering taste. Should be fun..









Keep it green!!
