Black Ra1n's Grow Journal

[Budless]

Kudos! You have an amazing grow going on. Keep up the great work! Enjoy the smoke too

 

[Black Ra1n]

Hey Zeus, thanks man, those pics are from my moms. She has a green thumb too, but only for ornamental flowers lol not our kind. Those lupins are hybrids, the natives are found on the east coast, I guess they grow everywhere, I've never been there, I'm just going by what my dad said. Iris's are my favorite flower, I also like orchids. Those Iris's are mostly from college, I was suppose to dissect them in botany class so I cut some side tubers off and planted them. The crosses are M x A x PPP, M x A x Ak48, M39xPPP and M39xAk48. Thanks for stopping in.

Hey budless, thanks for stopping in man.

I checked the M x A she's still clear, the M39 are cloudy just waiting a bit longer for the M39, M x A may take a bit longer but I may have to crop her early and get relocate everything, have some personal shit happening at a not so good time. I hate the fact that we have to hide in the shadows!!! Constantly looking over our shoulders to make sure nobody sees, it's just not right!! I'm not a criminal, but I'm portrayed and labeled as such.

Take care all.

Man...it's tough when I don't check in regularly to keep up with all my friends here. BR things are rockin in your world huh? ... K I gotta get off my ass. I'll do it today man and take some cuts of the LUI and SSxK ... I'll be free for a road trip somewhere near the middle of July. Stay in touch man. Wow things look good for ya round here.

Peace

 

[Black Ra1n]

Hey TML, thanks for the kind words man. I'm sure I'll have some 39 kicking around for you when you end up around my parts of the world. The M x A info I took from the nirvana site so I can't take credit for that lol. I'm thinking of starting to work on that lineage thread I saw on here. It's a good reference guide, and helps to pick out what certain characteristics you may be looking for in a strain when picking.

Hey BG, glad you stopped by. I know how tough it can be to check in on everyone so don't sweat it. I'd love some of those cuts man, I have a few kicking around for you as well. Middle of July sound good to me. Take care man.

Not much to update, hoping the 39 will be ready for the chop on Thursday. M x A is going to stay in for a bit longer to see what she does.

Take care...

Hi Black Ra1n!
Wow, took me awhile to read this...you are doing this witha 150 HPS for flowering right? Very impressive!
Damn...sucks about those bubs...I feel ya.
I'l be

 

[Dr Dog]

Hey B/R bro.
All looking good here, I like the way you have the outdoors tied down, I don't really have a spot like that on my property that I could do that unnoticed. So I will have to crawl out into the brush behind my house to put some down. It is very dense so it should not have any security issues.
Bud shots looking nice.

 

[Black Ra1n]

Hey Anima, thanks for stopping by. Yes it's a 150, I've been surprised by a few grows on here with little light.

Hey Dog, man things are busting out here lol. Finally most of my clones have roots. With the exception of the PPP, I only have one out of 5 that has roots, it's by far the toughest plant I've ever cloned. All 3 WW cuttings in the bubbler have roots, I'll take a pic tomorrow night.

Well I couldn't help myself so I put a few new seeds that I took off the M x A in some cubes and one has germinated. I have 2 Ak's that I'm hoping are female lol, one Bag seed a few M39's, one PPP seedling that's a major pain in my ass, it just won't grow. I'll have a full update tomorrow night.

Here's some M x A clones I just potted, they were in rockwool. There's my biggest AK seedling and the other is the Bag seed, of which my buddy just cut his down so I should have some test buds in a few weeks.



Take care all........

[Core]

ey Black

looking out for next run i see...verry smart man...just like what i'm doing :wink:
lovely successers you have there man...what size pot are they now in?

 

[Black Ra1n]

Hey Core, nice to see you stop by. Mostly everything I have is for my next scrog, I've decided to do a 2 stage with 4 plants, not sure on the strains yet but I know WW will be one of them. I'll have 2 screens, but one grow tub. I'm going to start 2, then start 2 more after 2 weeks of 12/12. I'm moving my cab to a friends house, so I'll only have clones here. I will however be updating, and keeping my diary open with the outdoor as well. The plants are in half pints, I always put my clones in small pots and re-pot as they need more room. Take care man and thanks for stopping by.

[TML16]

All set up and ready to go

Kickin ass buddy! :smile:

Great job on the rootings, keep up the great work

 

[NorthernKronic]

Hey BR,

I love that your only using 150 watts of HPS your really getting your moneys worth out of that baby hahaha. I to am getting my next round ready to go into flower as soon as my current run is done, Im not the kind of person who likes a lot of downtime if you know what i mean. Keep up the good work dude, ill be by.

Day 58

Day 58

Hey TML, yeah I'm not sure what I'm going to run as of yet, but I'll be running more than 2 this time around. Thanks for stopping by.

NorthernKronic, thanks man. I use to use big power, but I'm liking my electric bill a bit more now. It's the perfect hobby light, enough for some decent bud, take care man.

Okay I checked the 39, she's all milky as you will soon see. I took some great close ups today with my camera and my loop stuck to the lens. The M x A hasn't really done much IMO, I'm not sure why but she doesn't have that much trichomes on her, sure smells nice though. I hope she produces better outside. When I go to my check my outdoor grow I'm going to take some cuttings off the WW, Jack Herrer and the H what ever she is lol, oh yeah and the PPP or course.

Here's the M x A




The M39, she's really pushing seed. Hoping she'll be done soon









What's in my cloner?




Here's some other clones I did in rockwool. The one on the left is PPP and the right is M x A.



Well that's it for now, I'll have an outdoor update probably Sunday. Hope you enjoyed the show, take care.

[Black Ra1n]

Having technical difficulties with this damn thread.... so I have to bump the bastard!! I updated but it didn't refresh.

 

[Guest]

Hey BlackRain!!

Hard to believe that those plants were under a 150 watter. You did really well IMO. I am in the process of chopping my two AI here on Day 64 of flower.

Being a newbie, I didn't realizer how much work it is to trim these plants!!!!!!!!

Geez Marie. I am so sticky, I'll never get all this off. And I haven't hardly begun!!
LOL
later Obli

 

[ZeusOGrefugee]

Hey BR, lookin great man...That MxA is a full on Indica, right?? If so, it looks like u got some wierd sativa pheno, which Im sure u already know...anyhow, I had an NL that did the same thing, and barely produced any trichs...but she was some pretty good smoke, so let her go till the end, and see what u get, u never know. I know that some sativa's dont produce that much resin, per se, but are still damn potent!!!Anyhow, gotta go update my threads, see ya later. Peace bro'

- Z

 

[TML16]

Them are some high quality photos you put up there Those shots really come through under the loupe

I think the M X A is progressing still since last pics. Have you checked on her trichs yet?

Great job with the roots! they look well situated I'm gonna pic up some rockwool and jiffy rapid rooters and experiment a bit with what method is gonna work best for me in the future.

Doin a bang up job my friend

Great update

Howzit brother>>?? nice pics i love the dark green leaves and the light green nugsz on the mxa... Man the m39 looks tastey as fook..

Anyhow ill bbl to peep the new up & coming starlets.. :wink: peace..

[Mr GreenJeans]

Looking real fine in here Black Ra1n! Looking at the photos I completely forget you're running 150 - you're getting the most out of your light for sure! The MxA may yet surprise you - she is very sativa looking and may pack on the trichs later on. I'd let her go and watch her... she may surprise you!

 

[Black Ra1n]

Oblidio49, hey man, thanks for the kind words. Trimming can be tedious, first and foremost you have to be comfortable. Next is too have the tv or music on to keep you mind busy. I like to trim efficiently and can't stand the stickiness after a while so I use a good quality medical glove, without the dust lol, just roll the resin up into a ball and pop it into the pipe or get the knives glowing

Hey Zeus, this one is sativa. The site says it's a mix, I'm not sure lol I hope to get either the indica or the mix pheno. I like sativa's, but not for outdoor. I'm not sure about the trichomes, maybe she's still going to shoot some more, or maybe it's because of the seed production, but from the M39 which has more seed than the M x A, she's pushing resin like crazy, even more than my outdoor M39's. I know the M x A is a cross between two hash production strains, so I'm wondering where those trichomes are??? lol take care man.

TML16, hey bro, I can't really tell is she's getting bigger or not. I see her all the time lol but I'll take your word for it I'm getting a new camera after the outdoor season ... I really want a nikon or a pentax, I had a pentax in college when I took photography for a bit hahaha take care man.

sackoweed, hey man thanks for the props. I'm pretty happy with everything. I have 1 M x A cross seedling right now and I have 4 M x A x PPP seeds in paper towel. The M39 seeds are still a bit green, should be ready next week, I'll probably cut her down then.

Mr GreenJeans, hey man thanks for the kind words. I'm with you on the waiting part, I hope she finishes up nicely. Thanks for stopping by.

Well not much to update yet, I'm just home for a quick bite and back to work. Take care everyone......
