Hey man..

Hey man..

Battle Axe is gonna be a mad one for sure...

Update...​

​

The LS and FL are just starting to show sex.. its kinda weird, i can see pubes before balls. I thought the males show first.. Cant be bad though.

​

I took some clones the other day, I'm trying out this fleximix stuff. Them rock-wool cubes are haunting me for not soaking them before i use them... at least the fleximix cubes are organic. We shall see if they root quicker..

Stay Frosty...

 

[DocLeaf]

yeah those flexi cubes are easier to use. the ones that look like rubber.. lol
peace dL

 

[BeAn]

Yeah man, they feel weird. Its like you cant puncture the sides but they look crumbly.. invented by NASA apparently lol..space technology.




^^ I managed to acquire some kush the other day.. its definitely a much needed change from the commercial skunk that's floating about... It kinda smells like espresso and berry's... the smoke tastes like citrus with berry undertones.

The high is really relaxing but there's still enough heady-ness in there to keep me satisfied.

​

Smooth, even in the bong.

THat last picture is pretty sick.. How did u do that??

Oh and nice grow man K+

 

[BeAn]

Thank man..

Thank man..

I think i used microsoft's 'Picture It Publisher'... its got a 'picture putty' tool..pretty cool ain't it.



K+ Right back at ya..

Update​

I took more cuttings of the floater pheno, and and a few of the JCB looking pheno..

I also sprinkled some garden lime onto the soil around the bases of the Bubblegums, i want to see if this will clear up the Mg deficiency.....by raising the PH..

 

[BeAn]

Check out my new toy...

Check out my new toy...

I bought this for my A'dam trip...




Ive never tried a vapouriser before because the electric ones are mega expensive and i cant find the time to design and build one.....then i saw this, dirt cheap and does the job....nuff said.

Stay frosty..

 

[BeAn]

T'spring time is here...

T'spring time is here...




You know springs here when you can enjoy a wake'n'bake session in the garden, in only your trackies 'n' Tshirt...

Update....

Update....

Most of the clones from the first run are showing roots....these cubes are rewd (so much better than rockwool), the fastest is by far pheno B.....(FL fem)

Ive got to give them all a couple of days before i transplant anyways, because i don't have room in the box for the propagator and rooted clones ..

The LS FL and the bubblegums are coming on nicely, still sexing them before the final transplant into 6.5L pots...


Stay Frosty...

 

[BeAn]

Update...(continued)


Ive re-potted the LS and FL seed plants into deeper pots, and raised the bubblegums to the same level..
The tap roots on some of the FL's (A,B) are massive, i think thy could really do with the deeper pots. Could this be the sativa influence??

The clones(A,B,C,D) have been put into small pots of all-mix, and are in the veg box... I plan to take more some cuttings of the most well developed BG's, just so i have some mothers n fathers to fall back on (and perhaps F2's)..

Pics soon....

<<*[Im off to A'dam the day after tomorrow!!!!]*>>

 

[BeAn]

Clones..

Clones..




My veg box is filled with clones from the different LS and FL pheno's..

A few round the outside were rescued from the propergator when i got back from A'dam on friday... a little bit stressed because they dryed out when i was away, i lost 4 well rooted clones.. They should deffinatly pick up during the week, the LS from the first run are the quickest to develop after rooting.
(Espeicially pheno C.)

 

[DocLeaf]

how's things growing Bean dude???

stay frosty dL

 

[BeAn]

Hey man... hows tings?

Hey man... hows tings?

I havent got time at the minute to do a proper update, when i get back tommorrow ill resurect this diary..



In a nutshell..
At the mo im running a few clones untill my mothers get big enough, i lost my Floater seed plant female to major heat lol... the LS and FL clones are just showing the first signs of flowering..
The Bubblegums in the green house are almost 4' tall and look like they will be huge soon lol. The Female LS seed plant that survived the heat almost un scarred, has taken off and is getting ready for a phat haircut lol.. (I need to take a fair few clones to get my holiday stash on the way..).

ummmm.... Oh yeah, i killed my first male LS because his balls were looking like they were going to drop lol.. not sure wether or not to use him because he was auto-flowering (not sure though, the other sativa LS male isnt..), he had a thick hollow stem.. very resiliant... bit of a tough cookie, short indica type that likes to top himself.


When i get back ill post some pics and stuff, but right now i gotta dash..
See you on the flip-side homie..

 

[DocLeaf]

No autoflowering males... a bad trait IMO! Go with the sativa-type male (that takes his time to show)
Bubblegum underglass, huh, sounds fruity, bubblegum x grow ok outdoor in UK.

pon ya learn ya grow...
please keep us posted
dL

*N.B. try nitrozym on mother plants 24hours b4 taking cuttings,,, then give a dose 2-3 days after removing lid :wink:

 

[BeAn]

thanks for the advice man..

thanks for the advice man..

I think i will go with the sativa-ish male..


The bubblegums arnt under glass so to speak, more like bubble-wrap lol..
I didnt want to fork out for the glasshouse..



I feed the mothers with Alg-mic and grow formula in a diluted mix, i might try the nitrozyme when ive got rid of the males.

Anyways, im off camping...
stay frosty man!!!

My new extractor works wonders!


The Lifesaver and Floater clones are loving the cab... the Floater pheno i have is starting to resin up.. cant wait.



My veg box is almost full, in the middle are my Floater clone mum, bubblegum (un sexed), Lifesaver Female.. and round the edge are the male LS's, the lads are starving but i want to see how this pheno copes with small pots and little food and light.



I took some clones of my LS and FL females to throw into flower shortly after they root...

And finaly...


I went to 'boy/girl racer' convention at the weekend and i had to get snaps of this baby.......one day....lol......

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Hiya BeAn!

What kind of extractor did you get? Mine can't get my humidity that low!!!

Girls are looking happy, and I love your taste in cars

I once ran into a guy who owned a lamb countach on the island of Kauai. Nowhere to let 'er rip 'n blow 'er out, that poor guy did a valve job a year to get the carbon off his valves...

Wow - no idea what rock that memory popped our from behind!

 

[BeAn]

Hey man, good to see ya!

Hey man, good to see ya!



^^ Ive got a closet extractor, 160cfm i think... not sure, because my cab is in the garage the humidity tends to fluctuate according to how wet the plants soil is, the weather outside, and the time of day/night.. although it keeps the temps near the temp of the room, which is always about 75-85*F.. good bit of kit.....


Cars like the ENZO and the Lambo's are awesome, but so impractical.. i mean where can you do 120-220mph without riding up the arse of some Sunday driver??
I love Ferrari's and lambo's but they're a waste of money unless your rich and/or you own a track, but Jap cars are different.. my all time faves are the Mazda RX7/8, Mitsu EVO5-6.. fast enough and you can still get the kids and the shopping in it lol..(and you can trick them out till your blue in the face and flat broke.)

Whats your all time fave car??

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

And BeAn asked: Whats your all time fave car??

All time fav that I've actually been in was a 1967 Porshe 911s, the year before pollution controls went on. Man that was a mean lean machine. I thought the later 70s turbo carrera - although a real nice car - was a bit too much of everything for me...

But my all time favorite driving car - please don't suffocate from laughter - was a '74 pinto 2 liter, manual transmission. For a few years I did a bunch of long distance driving, and that was the car. Had a high lift cam, 4 barrel Holly with overjetted 2ndaries, oversize tires it was a total sleeper. I could fix anything short of a ring and valve job on the road, and kept spare parts for all the smaller stuff in the trunk. Totally silly, but it was a fun fun car.

Thanks for the pics - makes it all very clear!

Yea, Carrera GT is the one of all the supers and it is also the most practical. Audi A6 x Northern Lights = my ass is happy. I wish I could afford A8, but I ain't crying
