BeAn's grow diary. 2006!

[Mr GreenJeans]

Heh heh - sorry for the obscure pun reference - Core - you got it. It's from the DaVinci Code. JC's daughter Sarah by Mary Magdalene is claimed to have started the Merovingian Dynasty that was the beginning of French Royalty. Also mentioned in the Matrix trilogy - the haughty restauranteur was called the Merovingian...

BeAn - Come on over - I'll load up the vape with some preharvest Powerskunk - I was smoking on some green sample bud when I posted that. A few tokes and I can guarantee that no one - including us - will understand what we're talking about

Soil mixes - - I'm still trying to get guano amendments right - I've tried a couple times but each time I guess I added too much - 4-6 weeks later and it's time to flush flush flush

Like your dryer, very sweet. Another DIY-ologist!

bean nice grow man. them girls look frosty as hell.

 

[BeAn]

MGJ, thanks for clearing that up(not to mention the kind words)..i did wonder lol. I know why i didnt understand it though, after ten minutes the DaVinchi Code put me to sleep(the film that is, the book was too much..lol.) I suppose Floater is the most overlooked of the JC(B) offspring so it wasnt that obscure of a pun.. Plug in that vape and lets talk pony..lol.



Smokateer, dude..your compliments mean alot..Feel free to pop in anytime..

Lil'bit of an update...

Lil'bit of an update...

The mothers needed a drink, so after top-dressing them with castings i watered them with a mix of Alg-a-Mic(love this stuff, makes the leaves all shiny) and literaly a few drops of the Growth nutes from Bio-Bizz for added 'ooo'(anyone seen that 'Typhoo' commercial?..lol). Im going to need to take some clones this week so as soon as the cab has been emptyfied and de-borged, the modular SCROG action can begin..
That reminds me, i need to make the screens and scrub the pots...lol.

Ill do a Photo mission later when the lights come on, this time focusing on the Floater sativa..she isnt a resinous as the indica pheno but im sure the macros will be just as good. Certainly the fattest girl in there, thats for sure...

^^Imagine your in the jungle looking up, and tell me you wouldnt climb them trees and cover yourself in THC...



^^Pot shot..

Keep it Green!!

A closer look at the Floater Indica..60days.

A closer look at the Floater Indica..60days.

Smells real nice at this point, but id be lying if i said that this yeild is even close to acceptable from 3 plants...because this is such an inefficient way to grow with CFL's, she isnt dropped yet..the other identical plant im sure will do better in a SCROG.

Keep it green!!


P.s. just noticed that in the bedroom on the floor above where the cabinet is, theres a real nice stench from the Floater Indica's...maybe time for the filter lol.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

BeAn - those indicas are beautiful bud shots. Yield aside, they are frosty and beautiful. The sativa floaters are outstanding looking too.

I love algamic - I use it whenever I have a question about lacking micros and iwhen I water without ferts.

Looking nice and GReEn BeAn!

Hey bean im growin good just have some cheap nirvana seeds veggin at the mo, K2 and afghan, thinking of growin out the freebie sadpxsk1 as well, only a few weeks into veg at mo, might get the old cam out take shots for a diary dunno yet
Im lovin that frosty bud shot , shame like u say yield may be low... bet its gonna smoke well tho
take it easy and keep on giving us them frosty beaut shots

 

[BeAn]

MGJ, thanks yet again for the kind words...i assure you that the plants have done all the hard work.....i just take the credit for it and then cut of their heads and set them on fire..lol.

Kooki, Glad to hear you got youself a grow op goin'...post up some pics here if you want, and if you germ them SADPxSK beans i think you'll be in for a treat. I gave mine to a mate, he said the smoke was real good.

The 'FLindy' phenos are definatly worthy of keeping, its like no other smoke ive had before.(plus i must admit the whole structure of the plant is ever so easy to work with, not to mention the Knarley purple stems.)..she has what i would descride as an 'Old School' flavour, having not smoked or grown the original DJ'Flo i dont know for sure..but from what i can gather, i think this resembles the same phenotype that Sunycheba used as the mother, and that dude is a living legend in my eyes.
(Apparently he got 'sacked' from TGA recently, kinda lost interest in Sub and his crew now. Although the Apollo13 cube they are working on is somthing id be willing to buy.. )

Keep it green dudes, its always good to hear from ya.

Just thaught id share some lyrical genius with the peeps of IC...

'Cisco kid' By Bradley Nowell (R.I.P) and Sublime..(Ive taken out the movie sample bits though..)

Way, way, way back days, the year, 1983.
had to get a job, had to make some mon-ne-ne.
Picked up a pen and a pad, drops reality.
Never thinking that I would live to see the day I rocked my own CD.
We used to do the dance we called wobie-wobie.

Now S.T.P. 1993, so Hollywood get out my way.
My mom's words seems like yesterday, "Love Jesus, don't forget to pray."
She most have gone with the boss D.J. Right?

Next thing you know, skinny coming with the 9mm.
'Cuz he who has the money has the authority,
and respect to the man with the oz.

The 808 kit is on my hitlist,
and this beat's cooking like a piped out bliss.
It wasn't hard to do, it so easy.
Because to me loops come naturally.
Mom's words seem like yesterday. (COUGH)

And now in '94 we got an S.T.P.,
a half pack of smokes, and oh yes, aunt Bea.
A fifteen pack of Old Milwaukee.
A Dalmation and a girlfriend, but I ain't got no mon-ne-ne-ne.
The 808 is within my reach,
Sublime beats are comin' straight from Long Beach.
If you think that hollywood didn't get what he deserved,
call 808 kid to get served

Possibly the best album they released, and my favourite pick of the Robbin' the hood' tracks..

[BeAn]

Thanks dude...

Be safe mossy...

Update...

Update...

Not much to say apart from the resin's and aroma's are increasing everyday and im waiting patiently for the girls to finnish in their own time. This is my favourite time of all, the final nights before harvest. The Floater sativa looks like it could go 75+ days as new pistils are shooting out everytime i check the cab, it will be worth the extra days because this is when she gets the weight..

Lifesaver @ 63days 12/12..

Stay frosty and keep it green!!...

 

[packn2puff]

Man feels good to be posting in the old neighborhood again..that is "Indoor Soil"..
back in the day MGJ, Sleepy, GMT, Me, and a bunch of others that sort of hung out together..use to have a thread here..When the "Grow Diaries" opened up most indoor soil continuous thread posters went there..
But I still stop by here to see what chuckyoufarley is up to..now I have another spot to see..
Okay enough of the nostalgia..floaters look tasty..That Lifesaver looks kinda kushy from the pics..but I'm no strain guru...I'm more into growing science myself..
Sweet looking plants either way..keep up the good stuff BeAn..

 

[BeAn]

Many thanks for the kind words man, great to hear from you.
I totaly agree about the Lifesaver, large bracts arent they...thats what made me think Kushy buds, looks like some pictures of kush's seen on the web.

Keep it green man..drop in anytime.


P.s. You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to packn2puff again.

 

[mossy]

Looking really good BeAn..those last couple of shots show lovely fat buds on the underside..and the trics..

 

[BeAn]

Thanks for dropping in man..

Thanks for dropping in man..

..great to hear from ya as always. The Lifesaver is the group favourite among the tokers we roll with, the Floaters were loved by all but the Lifesaver seriously ruined people lol. Glad you like her too, i hope one day you can toke her out for yourself, and give us your opinion.

Be safe man, and keep it green!


Im so looking forward to the spring, ive enjoyed the Floater's and the Lifesaver for a whole year now...and soon ill be enjoying the offspring.



^^These are from the Floater sativa...the ones from the indica are the same as the original Floater beans from Suny's arsenal, small and round with dark blotches.

P.s. If anyone out there reading this has any Jacks Cleaner pips in thier possesion, please post up a pic or two of the beans..id love to see if they look the same as the ones grown in the bracts of the Floater sativa.

 

[BeAn]

....The Floater indica seed plant was chopped today at 64 days. Looks like a whopping 3-4g's off one plant.....lol. Certainly not a producer in any case, im sure in a SCROG she'll give us a jar full atleast...well we hope anyway.

omg pitty 2 hear the harvest realy realy realy suckt on that floater ...howlong did you veg her anyway??maybe a little more veg wil help her produce some buds...aah and what size container did you have her in?...

ohw yea....and thanks for the PM dude

 

[BeAn]

Hey Core, many thanks for dropping in..

Thanks for the kind words..that particular plant was vegged for about 4.5 wks, same as the rest. She was to far from the light for a start, but her identical sister is not a yeilder by any means..espeicialy under CFL's, its by no means a complaint as the smoke i know is sweet as. A SCROG is needed to maximise the light me thinks and in a couple of weeks this will commence. The pots were big enough for clones, but the distance from the lights and the fact that the mites love munching this one more than the others explain the measley yeild. Its not her fault, i still love her...

Be safe man and keep it green!!
