Black Ra1n's Grow Journal

[Black Ra1n]

greenhead, thanks man, growing outdoors is a ton of fun.

ZeusOGrefugee, awesome man, I'm looking forward to see what will come with 1000 watts at your disposal. The PPP is right next to M39 for compact buds and plenty of them. Take care man.

Dr Dog, weather has been awesome here so far. Daytime temps are nice and warm and the nights are cool. We had a few frosts but nothing too intense so far. Hope to see an update of those plants of yours soon.

StonedGrunt55, thanks man. I can't wait to get some of these in the dry box.

twistedtree LOL, I'm expecting a few pounds. I'll end up trimming it all by hand, I just trim all the worth while buds and the rest gets dried separately for bubble hash later. Thanks for stopping by.

Today was fert day for the outdoor. Everything is growing nicely and even the white widow is showing some buds now. PPP is sticking up like crazy, 39 are beefing up. MxA's are showing what dom they are for sure. I have 3 sativa's and 3 sativa/indica. The mixed ones are going to produce nice. I'll take some pics this week-end and post them later. Take care all....

we had a cold snap here, but that seems to be over with temps being in the high 20's again. I was taking pics for an update last night when my battery dies, so I suspect I should have one up this weekend sometime.
One confirmed female so far, preflowers are showing up on the rest, but nothing I can distinguish yet. But I will save the rest for the update.
Can't wait for some update pics from your outdoor jungle

 

[TML16]

Let's hope it's a long growing/harvest season this year

Everything looks to be going as planned
Every update continues to be impressive

Keep up the great work bro

 

[HeadyPete]

Hey peeps good to see you.

Sweet crop B/R! Congrats. I love the outdoor(s).....

I like that ph chart. I keep my coco soil at 6.5 and all's well. I zinged the moms at bit at the beginning with too strong fert, considering the low wattage CFLs they are living under, to slow growth rate of moms. That, plus some CalMax tweaking issues at the beginning, but now everything is growing big and proper.

Hope you have a huge haul and be set for a cold snowy winter, I know I will be.

See ya everyone. Take care.

StonedGrunt55, thanks man. I can't wait to get some of these in the dry box.

The indoor

The indoor

Dr Dog, hey man I have yet to see any preflower on any of the 39 crosses. They are more than big enough to show but are being stubborn. It's been hot here, really hot and I'm getting sick of it lol. Later bro!!

TML16, I'm hoping the killer frost stays away for a few more weeks. I'll be harvesting the early stuff soon, everything else with the exception of the white widow will be in the middle of October. I'll go by the tric's but I normally harvest 30/70. Take care man.

HeadyPete, when the outdoor is done the indoor begins lol. Yeah I know we'll be bitching about the cold, but it's been so damn hot for this time of year. I'll be popping in on your thread to see how things are going, thanks for stopping in.

StonedGrunt55, you know it lol. I've already started thinking of what to run next year. I want some hashberry, will run a few more 48's, some 39's of course and hopefully some of the cross's as well. I really want to try some of that cheesy bastard outside to see how it yields, nice close nodes on that one. From what I've seen with TML's run on her she's a keeper.

Okay I had some time so I took a few pics of the plants I have vegging right now.

Here's the Mumbles 1 and 2, you can really see the 48 in the 1 and the PPP influence in the 2. The PPP is a white widow cross and you can really see it in this.


Some Ak 48's that are going to a buddies to run in a new setup he started. If this thing works I'll post some pics. It's basicly a 6 inch tube with some holes drilled in it. It stands straight up and runs on a recycled drip system. You can run a bunch of them around a single 1000 watter.


Here's the M39 clones that have volunteered for the 39 seed project


That's it for now I'll have an outdoor update soon. Peace.....

A quick smoke report on a lil nug of PPP that's in week 5 of flowering. I took it off last Saturday just to try. It has been drying outside, so tonight I ripped off a nug to try. Taste is very harsh lol a lil fertilizer tasting. It's damn harsh from only a few day dry and no cure. I have to say the stone is rather impressive for being this early, it's very head heavy. I will probably harvest it in the middle of October and it will more than likely knock me on my ass

 

[Dr Dog]

Looking good man, those roots look like when a potato grows back out from it's eyes!! Yikes!! LOL
I am starting to see stuff growing on both the Mumbles and Heavenly hash, just can only make out the one female. I am uploading pics as I type so I will have updates to my threads tonight

 

[TML16]

Those are some thick looking roots indeed

I'm looking forward to watching your winter work Especially the light poisoning trials
I too have some little secret plans for winter

Still had a "Mumbles" question:
Is it only the M39 X AK48 that is considered Mumbles?

Glad you got to sample your fruit If you're liking the buzz already then you should be completely satisfied as it looks like you'll get at least another 2-3 weeks
Global warming does have it's advantages

 

[Black Ra1n]

Hey Dog, sorry I didn't get a chance to check out your thread but I will tonight. Later bro.

TML, because I goofed up on the pollinating they're two strains that were crossed with the 39 so I just called both of them mumbles. The Ak pheno is mumbles 1 and the PPP pheno is mumbles 2. I do plan on stabilizing them all in the future and having them all as one if it's possible. Looking forward to your secret project they're will be some 39 beans with your name on em. Take care man.

Hia B/R, yes me too i'm prepering for next year lol Today i recieved my packs, 1 Afghan & 1 SuperSkunk & i got some extras too

Cheesy bastard outdoors? I bet u'll have some chunky,fluffy & jiucy buds hehe looking like McDonald's doughnuts with all that sugar . I'll deff lurk that one..

Outdoor Update!!!

Outdoor Update!!!

StonedGrunt55, some nice strains you have there. The Afghan's I have going are just starting to bulk up. I'll try to take some pics of them tomorrow.

Well it's week 8 on the H and Jacks, they've really plumped up and the trichomes are all milky, probably be another week for them to start turning amber.




Here's the garden Skunk bagseed. This thing stinks so bad, but it's a damn good stink lol. The buds are not very bulky, but she's starting to foxtail. Think she'll be a while finishing.




Ak's stalks are almost all bud sites, it's just awesome. This is definitely going to be a great indoor strain.




M39 never seizes to amaze me, this thing has bulked up so much in just the last week. This is why people normally crop this strain so early, because they think it's done. It will still bulk up a bit, but it's only in the latter stages that th is baby gets it's true flavor.


MxA peg down has really bulked up this week as well. I was worried that the buds would be stunted from me tying them down, but it's done the opposite. They have started to shoot upwards toward the light.


The MxA scrog has really impressed me. This pheno is different from most the others I have going. The smell is real lemony, and the buds are denser. More than likely more Afghan dom.


Lastly the PPP, I wish I could take an aerial of these peg downs. It's hard to get the real idea of their size. I tried to give a little depth of field with the brick that one picture. The buds are nice and hard, smell is a bit fruity. The top colas alone are going to weigh in nicely.




Take care all....

B/R

 

[Dr Dog]

Now that is a lot of great looking pics, man o man , are you ever making me want to do that next season, GRRRRR peer pressure!

Dude you are going to need some electric scissors to get through all theat, that is a lot of trim
Great looking plants bro, make sure you save some of that for the Cannada Cup next year

 

[StonedGrunt55]

WOW, Thats some nice bud-pics dude, Great job u'r gonna have fun smoking all that lol ... CONGRATS & have a happy harvest party i can't wait to see those chunky buds dried & cured mmmmh. M39 scores top marks hehehe....

 

[TML16]

Outdoor colas galore!

I'm nearly speechless at the beauty

Thanks for clearing up the Mumbles question

M39 is most impressive...those look like some of the most rock hard buds I've seen in an outdoor grow

I't'll be amazing in a just a short few weeks to see this all unfurl

You're gonna have perma-smile :smile:

 

[NorthernKronic]

Hahaha perma grin is right TML

Dude you can probobly smell those ladies a mile away hahahah. i hope not but its likely Your killing it dude this outdoor makes me want to do some serious work in my area next year. how high up in Canada are you, im pretty far north up here so i just wanted to try and compare. I was thinking about running some very early flowering plants next season so i can harvest in the end of august early September, after that i have to worry about frost too much.

Annnnyyywayys Your grow is looking awsome Keep up the great work Have fun with all that trimming holler at me if ya need a helper hahaha Peace bud.

[extinctx11]

Ive been reading and re-reading this thread, I didnt see anywhere where the PPP are from, I must have missed it... I have some PPP right now and Im trying to find someone with the same strain to diagnose them...

Also, your grow is fantastic, I bet you cant wait to

 

[Black Ra1n]

Dr Dog, LOL I bet it wouldn't take too much pressure for you to try it. Canada Cup ... well the Ontario cup lol. Later bro.

StonedGrunt55, thanks man, M39 is the shiznit. Probably one of my favorites, I never get tired of it. You'll be getting a present when I'm done my next project to see for yourself man, take care.

TML16, no problem, I know it was a major goof with the seeding but oh well lol. M39 has some nice nugs, they harden up nicely when dried too. Thanks for the ongoing support man.

NorthernKronic, I'm about as south as you can get lol. They're are plenty of good early strains out there, just look around for one that suits your needs. You really can't go wrong growing a few beauties outside, and besides you get to see their true potential as far as yield goes. I could use some help trimming lol but I could only offer you some of this fine herb as payment, but I'm sure that would do lol .... thanks for the kind words man.

extinctx11, hey man the PPP beans are from Nirvana. I highly recommend them too. I'm counting the days my friend, thanks for stopping in.

Well I'm going to check out a new job opportunity tomorrow, I'm getting a bit nervous it's a big step, but I know it's time to step up and manage a golf course on my own. Take care all..... send me some courage lol

THANKS MAN, thats very generous of u... much appreceated. May u find what u wish in those beautiful plants & i'm sure u will coz they look killers ... peace bro! goodluck!

 

[twistedtree]

B/R, what's up? how's the baby? We finally got ours to sleep longer than 2 hours inbetween feeding him. So, I've gotta know...how long does it take you to trim all that? A week? Especially doing it all by hand. If I could go up to Canada, I'd help out. Geez, just imagine the bowl of scissor hash we'd be smoking
