yo E.B. lookin good there, garden looks great.
we do the same thing with the cages, train, bend, and basically LST our way through them to make a robust plant. im about to put my 2nd cages on this week. we use 4-8' bamboo and 2 masonry stakes 3-4' to anchor them down. it really doesn't need em after it grows through. the 8' just gives it something stable and allows an anchor for the trellis net later. i usually anchor 2 of the four 8' bamboo with 5' t-post just outside the pots.
on the og/fuel note. i have found that as long as you look to seed for the fuel smell you generally wont find it unless you make it yourself. sour-d, og cut onlys will not pass on the fuel smell unless the male carries the same fuel genes. swerves tahoe seeds, no fuel. somas nyc deisel, no fuel. even res's bx like crazy for 7 generations sours pale in comparison to the original cuts. there is good reason for this in the genetics.
the dutch didnt like that smell...they bred it out. for over20 yrs... much of the seed stock here from the 80's on has/shares dutch genetics. so how do you get that boy that has the genes? you have to find un-adultered afghans, pakis, and such from non-holland stock. where can you find this? over seas, or here...in cali..usa..period...
my barker valley deisel started as a cross between
bubba-platnum kush -x- underdawg og-sourd
a four way kush but no fuel in the progeny..period i tried bxing to the sour d.. no fuel...used the stinkiest so-hum o.g.... still no fuel...about 6 yrs ago the owner of my local collective gifted me some original afghani, and some paki's.. his son was military.. brought them back personally. i crossed them, liked what i saw, and pulled a boy from the F-1, and crossed it with the kushy mess i started above... all of a sudden, coffee, fuel, hashy-inscence, all came through the progeny. i try to use BVD boys whos stems reak of fuel to cross with. i have fuel in over 60% of the progeny to this day.
so a long and expensive lesson learned for me was, no matter how you try sometimes the original cut only is precious..almost perfect.. to try to chase her by watering down the genetics didnt work in my experience.
last year i crossed a chem-x-gsc(forum) i love it. its great.but none are the same as both parents they are blends or "hybrids" of the true passing traits of the parents...
i love my barker valley deisel... so i guess another lesson i learned is it never hurts to roll the dice. im running a Pinya-x-B.V.D. and its 50% fuel on the progeny.. so it breeds true now...
your shit looks great I love the garden.
J.D.

p.s. that fire o.g. you are referring to is da bomb..lemon pinesol fuel... for sure..!
 
Dude i got stories about peoples houses being fire bombed because they gave out OG clones that they gave there word they would not release.... shits funky when unreleased big money cuts are involved....

I can confirm that the FIRE OG clone going around the bay area is indeed LEGIT OG, straight LEMON pinesol fuel and the most perfect looking finished nugs, its BITCH to grow though sUPER finicky and lanky (thai influence) and is light on nutes, and u have to stake buds in flower since branches are weak, if you can withstand all that she will produce the best OG buds ive seen (consistently)

For the folks who have been living under a rock lately OG Kush is now known to be Thai x Afghan x Hashplant (Nepalese x Lebanese x Moroccan) orignally breed by a grower named Frank GEGAX, straight
G if the stories are true....

Oh I truly believe it bro. I know how it is when it comes to these elite cuts. You see the beef and drama everywhere. Something I would never want to get into over a plant. If I had something like it I would never have to worry about people doing that cus I would do it how GG#4 was done.

So the Fire OG Midnight Farm puts out is legit. Good news cus I have a buddy that's coming out there in a few weeks to do some shopping so its good to hear that its legit. I wanna see how my skills test with OG so bad lol hopefully very soon. That's cool to know if its the real truth about the OG. I hope the truth does come out cus it wont be able to be recreated so that's why I don't understand why people are so secretive when it comes to crosses. With all these polyhybrids being bred its hard to get the same exact pheno if you was trying to recreate it. Good info bro

jdkronyk101 thanks for the great post man, hope you stick around, my real choice to breed everything with and i still might do just indoor, will be using Grindhouse seeds Ancient Afghan strain, its a 1980's afghan that has been grown in norcal... that woulda been my first choice :(

put this is jsut some fun pollen chuckin, no real plans to breed the lines any furtur, just hit some clone onlys with some fire og pollen and see what comes out...

Darealkingjames yeah man the midnight farms Fire og is the one im running, totally legit, i can tell just by looking at the clones, and have confirmed it watching it grow, hope u can snag it!

Robrites glad to have you! Enjoy!

also when i checked on the seeds, i took the humidity dome of em and look at this... thick layer of what i HOPE is just Mycorizae fungi (sp?).. any ideas? the soil its in has been treated with myco fungi, both granular and powdered so hopefully its a good sign :)

 
Yea bro don't be alarmed by the fungi growth on top. That's what you want so you know the fungi and bacteria are working as it should to help create a rhinosphere the roots love. Whatever you used its some good stuff.

I keep a few things around for myco Grokashi, Planet Success granulars and packaged compost tea called Stump Tea. Your plant are gonna love that soil. You may have to transplant sooner as roots grow good with good a good rhizosphere

Yea that's heat stress bro. That big ball of fire fryed one of the leaves lol. Days like that need something to give them a lil shade. Some can handle it others can't
 
Hey EastBayGrower, how do you like the Insect Frass? How do you tend to use it? Amend your soil, frass tea, top dress, foliar? As you know, I also use the frass.

Cheers,

here's a quick update as i stopped by the plot to do a quick watering, foliar, and get some AACT brewing for when i return in a couple days.. wanted to check and see the growth also, had a feeling the stretch might be here... Or else this is some INSANE veg growth... god help me when they x2-x3....


Garden shot July 25th...



My cookie frost (platinum cookies x gsc) is stretching like a beast...

This is a branch that i LST'd on July 21st.. 4 days ago...



and i tucked it under the cage and tied it with green tape (note the height of the scrog cage above the plant)





And here it is today... only 4 days later!!! I would say this plant is definitely in full-stretch mode, buds should start forming in 10-14 days now on this plant, my Trainwreck already appears to be forming buds,,, lots of hairs, no mo' leaves :( wish she woulda kept vegging for another 2 weeks

 
Looking awesome bro your really gonna kill. Damn they are already starting to flower hope they stretch really good for you so you can get some nice huge buds. Look forward to seeing them flower.

Hey where did you get the Banana Kush from? I got a buddy that will be in Cali on vacation and house shopping and they're grabbing lots of cuts to bring back this way and just wanna know where you could get that one at?

Got the Banana Kush from a place called WISH CLONES, they vend to HArborside rarely, but there more often in stock at MAgnolia Wellness in Oakland... gl,


its definitely not a good strain for outdoor imo, its staying SUPER short and stacked inter nodes, gotta do ALOT of pruning under the canopy, shortest and ddensest plant by far, even thou its like a 60/40 hybrid, i have 90/10 indica BUbba Kush thats just blowing this thing out of the water, some indoor clone onlys with these connoisseur smells dont do well outdoors... shame... and they definitely CANT be grown to over 5+ pds. genetic potential just isnt there...

...but the fact the Banana Kush just REEKS like fresh bananas and usually has great bag appeal is why its in the garden, smoke reports pending (hopefully :p)

.. you see that cookie frost bro, shit is growing over an inch a day right now, 4 days ago it was a good 4-5'' under the horizontal green scrog in the cage, now its starting to push through... and if this is just good veg growth and the stretch is still in store, im going to be a busy boy,, training, taping, little topping, pruning... dont see me complaining, but we do want to keep all of em under 6'...

update time, shit is blowing up! i think were in stretch mode now, did a bloom guano/fish bone meal/rainbow mix bloom topdress, and watered with AACT, ..

...also picked up some ALOE juice, coconut water first time with these, ALOE is supposed to be awesome foliar, i hit my girls with a foliar... straight drenched em, 3 gals. for 12 plants, i bought a 1.5 gal. bleach sprayer, omg this thing is MONEY, if anyone is still spraying with a handheld sprayer/squirt bottle your crazy, this thing is awesome, pump it up acouple times, you can set it so it constantly sprays, i just move around the garden waving my magical wand around :)

here's a quick garden shot from the front...



Cookie frost (thinking it might be Blue Dream, got it as a freebie from harborside, think they might have just told me it was cookie frost to give it away? only finished product will tell...


Pre-98 bubba kush looking chunky as fuck!!!



anyone think these can be pound+ plants? im curious....

anyone think these plants will get over a pound?

tahoe og from Dark Heart...



...sexy time.....also found a big ass mantis in the garden...cool///


and the obligatory norcal sunset pic :p (sheesh its like the icmag version of a cat tax lol)
 
I def think something out there will hit that mark. They have plenty room for roots and if they're still vegging you def should. No light compares to the sun so something out there will. Plants look good bro. They will reward you with from all the love you give them :)

Small upsate, spent a lot of time cleaning up bottoms of the biggest plants and making clones... finished cookie frost, Tahoe og, and pre98 bubba....

Then today I'll finish up all the fire og, Jesus og, and any straglers....

Super busy lately.... it's like working two full time jobs with my normal 40hour week job




And the inferno og seeds all popped and are being vegged now, will collect pollen from males, probably will be too late to hit my outdoor but whatever
.. I guess IL just have to grow more....

Thanks for the posts ej! Yeah I already actually put up the black fabric all the way to the top of the bamboo, got a good foot+ before they will be seen, the cardboard is to keep the sun from heating up the black smart pots, black ones heat up and cook the first inch or two of roots, with cardboard Temps are 120, without 145....

I have a bunch of pics of everything but waiting till my data plan renews for the month to post...

Cleaned up all the bottoms, took 300+ clones (rooted yesterday! Going to clubs soon), and put on final trellis and cages, shits looking amazing, the front plants are almost above the cages completely...

I really feel like my plants are done stretching though, some other growers agree,

Hey dude, really looking forward to seeing some updated pics. So you double caged? Gonna be awesome! Is anything starting to bud up? Everything in my garden except my most sativa plants is starting to stack up. Sativas are lagging hard.

Peace,
