Dr Dog, thanks bro... this ecsd is going to make OGA some sweet cross's.

ZeusOGrefugee, yeah I'm pretty excited with everything. I have a few that are getting tossed, but I popped a few new strains the other day so I have something else to try. PC is a killer plant, can't wait for this first run to finish up so I can start playing with a few seed runs of it.

Core, much appreciated bro.

Well it's been a busy week.... cropped a few so I took some bud shots. I hope to start the drip system this week. Just looking for a few things to finish up the system. I may have found the bubbilicious pheno I've been looking for. So far #1, and 4 aren't that great, so it's their last run. I'm also axing the bumbleberry's with the exception of the stable #1, it's getting crossed with ecsd x straw d to try to get some potency in it. I threw some ecsd x straw d pollen on a few buds of the pc's I have... on with the buds.

Bumbleberry... pheno#1 ... not bad, very blueberry-ish .. good day time smoke, doesn't tire you out.


Bo-Bo .... killer smoke, killer high.... this mixed with PC is going to be insane!!! Also plan on a diesel cross with it down the line.


Tangerine.... this pheno was kinda airy... I have another one to try, hoping for a more dense pheno.


Ecsd x Straw D... love this plant, easy to grow, clones great and the taste is very nice... I'm F2'n this lady.


Bubblicious... this pheno don't really smell like much... I wasn't too impressed with it so far, hope is smokes okay.. I just cropped this last night.

Nice nuggets BR. I must say that bobo looks like the real deals to me. Reminds me of the look of the good bubba kush that goes around these parts. Keep it green bro. CN

Dr Dog, thanks bro, me and wife had some bo-bo last night,,, man it was intense. Have a nice selection of stuff to smoke right now, needs a good cure though.

ZeusOGrefugee, tangerine is a good mix of sativa/indica. Have yet to try it, but I have a test nug I'll try tonight. LOL the seed bank... plans are in the works my friend, OGA has a few things on the table.

hazy, thanks man, I'm a big fan of anything diesel, though the straw d cross is a damn nice blend.

chubbynugs, you said it man... we're hoping to get a bo-bo cross out there soon.

Well I just made my drip table.... I took a 6" piece of smooth wall drainage end line. It's real sturdy, I cut square holes in the top to house the 5.75 inch square pots I'm going to run. At the one I end I have a drain hole that will be the return to the filter, then the res. This thing took me about 20 minutes to make and just a few minutes this morning to think up. Total cost was nothing all the parts were left over from a project at work. I'm going to run my 1/2 inch feed line up one side of the tube and down the other like a circle to maximize pressure. I'll start with two drippers on each pot and go up to 4. I may end up not using the drippers at all and just flood the pots till run off. I'll take some pics when I get everything up and running... pretty excited to try this thing... best thing about this system is that I can add holding tubes if I wish later on... they don't take up much space either....

Mr GreenJeans, thanks man... ecsd x straw d is an awesome plant to grow out.... can't wait to play with it, have a great week-end man.

High Lowlander, thanks for the kind words man... you're always inspirational. Bo-bo is on the block for an OGA cross... two cross's are planned for it... bo-bo x pollen chuck .. and bo-bo x ecsd x straw d... both should be sweet. Have a good one man.

damakkus, hey bro... thanks for the props... I would love to burn with ya too... in amongst those gorgeous ladies you have in your yard. I'm excited with the drip too.. now it's just to find the time to get the damn thing going....

Well I had me some tangerine last night.. not much of cure but I really enjoyed the stone... it was pretty damn good.. taste was a little tangy.. citrus should be much more prominent in a month or two... I hope to get the damn drip up.. had a little draw back.. I should have measured the damn room before I built it, so I either have to cut the tube back a bit or have it on more of an angle... I'll figure it out on Sunday.... besides that all is good... popped some new beans... Ak 48 x Gypsy's gum and Goober... Have a great week-end all.

Drip system....

Drip system....

Well I finally tested the system out. I had a dry run with 4 drippers and had to get a bigger pump. I bought a 150 gph at home depot for 20 bucks, works much better. I now have to get the res filled and transplant the plants into the pots. I've decided to go with one bo-bo, tangerine and two bubs.

Here's a pic of the setup...


Had to take a couple pics of the two pc's in flower... pheno 1 is very dense.


Pheno 2 smells like candy... I put some ecsd x straw d pollen on a few buds of each for some testers of what OGA will offer in the future.

Dr Dog, hey bro thanks. Love this setup already. Just got the timer set up...

Definitive, thanks for the kind words man.

ZeusOGrefugee, hey man, the name fits.. The one pheno smells like pure diesel, the other smells like sweet candy, with a hint of diesel. Both were nailed with some ecsd x straw d pollen... test'n out some sour puss, dog's name... should be a nice one.

Tonatiuh, hey man was wondering when you'd be back,,, thanks for keeping up with the thread.

Well the system is up and running. I'm watering twice a day for now, for five minutes... the run off starts about 3.5 minutes into the watering cycle so I'm getting nice run off. I'm really loving the coco.... I have a side by side going with two bo-bo clones, both taken off the same mom and both in the same area of the room... big difference.... but see for yourself.

coco bo-bo 35 days


Resin is crazy on that one, growth is nuts.

soil bo-bo


Great plant, but notice there is not as much resin as on the coco one.

Here's a pic of Mumbles pheno 3, 65 days.... pheno one was terrible ... pheno 2 sucks ass too... 3 smells like a mix of 39 and jube jubes ... not a good mumbles though, so it's back to the drawing board. Great bud structure on her though.
