Fiddynut's indoor jungle

[Fiddynut]

that is totally in teh spirit of 4/20
no kidding when you say you can get pretty high off edibles!
ive been there myself

thanks for the kind words,f'nut
ill see if i can snag some pics later when the lights come back on
its morning here and i just put teh girls to sleep

it would be great to make crosses of your own
LW#1 would have been a good candidate because she was so unique and had some traits you want to continue but others you want to breed away from
depending on what you are working towards, you could even hold a bunch of candidates, each providing different outcomes
i like the structure and fast flower of themrGibbs
one of teh dog treats looks very indica and i cant wait to try her high, the otehr has this really funky smell and looks like she is putting on the sugar
i ahd this strain called free leonard, that has to have been one of the fastest growing and biggest plants ive ever seen
/a mix of the LW#! and free leonard would be fun, LW#1 for the funk free leonard for the size

you are right, a male branch in water should live long enough to drop its pollen
we just might ahev to try this this year guys

so im planning on grilling some chicken thighs today
i want to make some grilled chicken and rice,prob wiht a terriaki sauce
well see what the plan is once mrsChicky gets up

hope you all are having a great start to your weekend!

Good morning pop_rocks.

Yep it's crazy how the high from eating cannabis can be so different and more intense than smoking it. I have a lower tolerance for the edibles than smoking for sure. I've been taking it pretty easy eating just enough to get a nice buzz but not so much as to start hallucinating.

For sure a breeding project with the LW would be fun. If she tastes as good and is as potent as I think I'm going to grab a couple more packs of LW seeds and hunt for her again, taking cuts next time so I can keep her around. For all I know there may be even more frosty phenos of her out there. I'm guessing selecting a male would be the tricky part of breeding. The best female would be easy to pick if growing from clone and you've grown her out before. But what qualities as the best male? Is it growth rate, structure? Some males get kind of frosty so that would play in. Sounds like fun though and is something I'd love to try down the road a bit.

Grilled chicken thighs sound great. When I do grilled chicken I always use thighs. My favorite method is to salt and pepper the chicken a few hours before cooking then I melt some butter and mix in the juice of a lemon. Towards the end of cooking I baste the chicken wh the lemon butter. Terriaki glaze sounds great too. Im getting hungry just thinking about it.

We are having some nice weather this weekend and my bro and I took Rufus disc golfing yesterday after work. The old dog acts just like a pup when he has all that space to run around. Today I have to cut the grass for the first time of the season because it's getting long already. Then it's off to play more disc but I'm going to try to sneak in a mountain bike ride first. I hope you are having nice weather and able to do some riding as well.

Quick update

Quick update

Greetings friends.

I've been busy in the jungle this weekend and have a quick update. The LW's are moving along and they were all fed in the last 36 hours. The 5 gorilla bubbles that are growing normally were transplanted into 6" pots. I managed to transplant before they got rootbound this time.

Floridian and I were wondering what the ppm of a full strength feeding of PBP would be. I mixed up a gallon of RO water and 25ml of PBP bloom to find out. The water was 8ppm. I thought my ppm pen was not working because the ppm of the water and the PBP was only 112. What I didn't realize was that the pen only reads out to 999 then it has a "x10" that shows up and has you multiply by 10. So the 112 was actually 1120ppm. To verify this I mixed 3 gallons RO water and added in the PBP a little at a time. +25ml=420ppm. +50ml=795ppm. +75ml=1140ppm. +25ml pH up=1260ppm. If I were adding cal/mag to this feeding I'd probably be over 1400ppm. From what I've read about in the coco threads 1400 is pretty hot. Not sure if that's a lot for soil or not. The plants seem like they like it.

 

[Floridian]

That sounds about right never grown in coco but around 1500 PPM for nutes and calmag sounds about right to me in late flower.Of course all strains are different and I believe higher wattage can take more PPMs.I used to feed my beloved blockhead 15-1600 PPMs and they loved it

Good morning Floridian.

Yes I think it sounds about right too. I haven't spent a lot of time looking at hydro grows but as I link around here I do stumble across them and I've heard mention of 14-1600 being about the max ppm's for hydro. The wookies loved the feeding and they are looking like they might finish quick so maybe one more feeding then water for the last week or two. I'll start watching the trichomes closely from here on out.

 

[pop_rocks]

"...I've heard mention of 14-1600 being about the max ppm's for hydro."
that sounds about right

when i would run aero tubs i would usually feed around 1200ppm and have gone as high as 1500-1800ppm depending on the strain
/ramping up feedings as the plant grew
some plants are really heavy feeders and im sure you could push even more if you had the right set up
i would give them a heavy feeding and then add water to the reservoir, then refeed/ top up ; i was changing the water about every 5 days

glad to hear you were able to get out and enjoy some time with rufus and your brother
its good to hear that rufus still has it in him

im all with you on preseasoning your meat
i am all about the rub and the marinate
growing up i was pretty primal and just threw good meat onto the grill, but now i like to set up my meat for at least a few hours in some kind of flavor
for chicken, i like the marinate because the flavor can really soak into the meat

yeah, i wonder what would be the best way to go about picking a really good male plant to use as a father plant
i guess i would inspect it like i do any veg plant and do the overall eye ball ( color, structure and size) and stem rub test
one way to see how potent a male plant would be would be to breed several males to the same female (clone)
that way you could kind of see what the males bring to the table by how each offspring would be different
this would take a while but it might be worth trying once you got your pollen chucking skills established
those lemon wookie seeds sound tasty

Good afternoon pop_rocks.

Looks like these lady's liked a heavy feed. I'm going to experiment with giving the next batch a little more earlier in bloom but they love the PBP. As it is I gave 2 of the LW's just plain RO water this morning. The other two will get plain water tonight or tomorrow. The trichomes are getting that more translucent "plastic" look to them and seem to be on pace to finish around 60 days. I even spotted an amber trich this morning so things are happening quickly. I wasn't expecting them to finish this quick. I'm going to cut one of the sample bottom shoots in a day or two and see how she tastes. I believe today is day 52. It's good they are finishing because the stems are getting floppy. In fact I think I'm going to water them in place in the tent so I don't break any.

Yes we sure had a great time this weekend doing outdoor activities. Spring is in full bloom and it feels great to get out or even just be able to open the windows in the house and get fresh air. Rufus sure likes to run around at the disc golf course. He was a little sore the next day but it's still good for him to get that kind of exercise. For an old dog he is still faster than any dog I've seen running wide open like that.

Yes a good marinade is a wonderful thing. With pork and chicken I like to get some salt in it to help hold the moisture in. I tend to eat my beef rare so it won't dry out but chicken and pork that gets cooked well done needs a brine. I go with a shorter marinade if it's an acidic one too. The acid changes the texture of the meat and kind of cooks it if it's too acidic or I let it marinade too long. Chicken is a great meat for marinading because it is so good at taking on other flavors. Pork is kind of like that as well. I've been experimenting with dry marinade a lot lately. I like a good sear on my beef and a dry marinade helps with that.

i come across threads where people do some pollen chucking and I've often seen that people pop a couple packs of beans and just take the biggest and branchiest male and use that one to pollinate the girls with. Wh such limited space to grow stuff out I'd have to do some research and see what the pros do. I'd hate to go backwards on quality because I didn't know what I was doing. Maybe I'll run this past aridbud since he breads the autos. I'd think that the process would be the same with autos as with photos. I have to learn how to keep mothers happy befor I even think about doing any breeding anyway. Once I have some favorite girls that I know are good producers I can think a little more about chucking some pollen at them.

I hope your week is going well. With plants at 3 stages this is going to be a busy couple weeks for me. The 2 GB' that are stunted don't seem to be catching up at all so not sure what I'm going to do about them. If anything they are going further behind. If I get 3 ladies out of the 5 good ones it will be a non issue.

 

[pop_rocks]

how does a dry marinate differ from a rub?
ive never really heard the term but kind of get what you mean
ive run into over marinating my chicken in a vinegar
the mexicans haev this awesome seafood cocktail called cevechi that is fresh seafood ( usually small shrimp and often fish) marinated in lemon or lime juice
its bright and fresh tasting and one of the best things on a crunchy corn tortilla

yeah i would liek to know how others select their breeding males
you would expect there to be certain variation in any breeding project (remember the punnet square project from botany classes)
mrSoul has a great story to tell about how be came about getting his cindy99 thats a good read if you ever get a chance
ive also hear stories of special males kept by breeders
how is arid'doing these days?

it seems like you ahev a lot of irons in the fire with all these plants!
its a good kind of busy tho and once you get used to it its just like anything else
keep up all the good work brother!

Good morning pop_rocks.
You are right that "dry marinade" may not really be a thing but more of a concept in my head. There are dry and wet brines which contain salt but may contain other things as well. Dry rub is synonymous with dry marinade in my mind just like wet rub and wet marinade. The definition of marinade is that it contains acid to tenderize as well as flavors. I have several rubs that have things like lemon and citric acid in them that I think would qualify as dry marinades. I have a powdered lime cilantro that is great for chicken and steak fajitas style.

I'll look up that storie by mrSoul that sounds interesting. I love the stories about the strains I reed here on icmag. I remember reading about how chemdog came to be when I was new here and thinking about how lucky I was to have found this site and all the resources here. I enjoy learning more about the history and linage of some of these great plants. Until I started reading here I didn't know a lot about the different strains and whare they came from. I still have a lot to learn but I'm having a great time doing so.

Yet these plants are keeping me busy lately. I have to water something about every day and I'm still trying to nurse the 2 stunted GB's back to health in case I need them. The LW's are super bushy and are going to be a handful to trim in a week or so. No idea on the sexing of the GB's yet but checking every day. I think I'm starting to develop a rhythm though and everything is getting easer and feels more natural. I also seem to be getting a better feel for what the plants want and need if that makes sense.

I have your week is going well. Hump day already!

Update and pics

Update and pics

Greetings friends.

I've been spending a lot of time in the jungle the last few days and it's time for an update. The LW's are finishing and 5 of the GB's have taken to there transplant and are starting a growth spurt. The other 2 GB's are alive but not well. I'm probably wasting my time with them but I want to see if they wil somehow recover.

The GB's are stretchier and less bushy than most of what I've grown so far. Not sure how they will look in a couple weeks so I will reserve judgment on them for now. Looks like I may be topping and training these to fill the space depending on how many girls I end up with. The 5 healthy ones got water and cal/mag and a kelp supplement this morning. Hoping for 3 lady's.


The LW's are looking good and I'm seeing a lot of cloudy trichomes on them. The #1 is looking pretty fat but the 2&3 are still looking like they aren't going to be big yielders. The stunted #4 is looking like it will out produce the tall #2. I'm still thinking that I did something to cause the buds to be smaller but maybe it's just genetics. The frost and nice lemon/skunk/diesel smell is strong on all of them.
Here are some cola pics.
#1

#2

#3

#4


I believe that #4 has had root issues since veg and that is why it's stunted and now is showing deficiencies. Not sure what happened with her but she is an odd plant. She smells great though and the buds she does have are as far along as any of them.

 

[pop_rocks]

thanks for clearing that up,brother
i understand what you mean about a dry marinate now
i never thought about the definition of some of these terms but im glad we are on the same page

so wahts on deck for this weekend?
the little one has a big gymnastics meet so mrsChicky is going to be away pretty much all day this fri/ sat
im not going so that gives me some time to spend in the garden
i aev some beans i want to pop for an outdoor grow and a fresh bottle of vodka and lots of seltzer
im also hoping to get some meat seasoned up and on the grill this sat

the plants are looking great!
how many more weeks are you goign to go?
if you really like the LW#4 maybe you could try revegging her and taking some cuts
its not something i would do on the regular, but it might be an option if she turns out to be somethign you want to hang on to
could you post a link to the chemdog story if its handy?
ive heard a couple origin stories about the "magical beans" found in a sack of herb that became what we call chemdog
/the original story was beans found in an oz but the last time i heard it told the weight was different as well as how many seeds were found

hope your week is winding down nicely friend!

Good afternoon pop_rocks.

Looks like a cool and rainy weekend so I'll have to keep busy indoors. I might chop LW 2 and or LW 3 this weekend because they are finishing really quickly. These are the first photo plants that I'm going to see finish strong. Looking back on my first grow the plants were stalled out and deficient and I let them go like 75+ days. They just didn't have the energy to finish and they ended up over ripe. On the second grow I chopped early due to seeds. The autos finished nicely but they grow a little different than photos. Seeing how quickly these girls are finishing is really nice. It's happening quicker than I expected. Just about all cloudy trichs on the 2&3 and the 1&4 are close behind. The calyx are expanding and swallowing the pistils. I'm getting excited to get to harvest.

I hope the gymnastics meet goes great. My bros daughter is into gymnastics and it looks like great exercise and fun.

Sounds like you have some nice chill time coming to you. Spending time in the garden is time well spent for sure. I've got a bottle of vodka with my name on it this weekend too. I also have a serious craving for prime rib after watching a food channel special last night. Not sure if I'll do a roast but if not Ill defiantly grill up a ribeye or something.

Not sure how long these plants are going to go but more like days than weeks. I'm at end of week 8 or about day 58ish so almost there. I don't want too many ambers since the weed makes me sleepy already. I'm going to hold off until I see maybe 5-10% amber I think.

I think I may try to reveg LW#1. She is way more frosty and also going to be the best yielder of he bunch. Can I just leave a couple of bottom shoots on her and cut the rest of the stem? I'll do some reading on reveg and see if it makes sense or is a good candidate. I will have to find somewhere to put her and get a couple of LED light bulbs to shine on her.

I tried to find the chemdog thread that I was talking about but couldn't find the one that I read last year. I found several that have some of the info but aren't the one I was talking about. This one has a little history but not as much as the one I remember. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=255411
I'll keep looking and see if I can find the original.

I hope your week went well and your weekend is off to a good start. Good luck popping the beans. Let me know how the grilling goes...Fiddy.

 

[Floridian]

When you're sure it's ready and your cutters are inches away from the deed,drop them and come back in three days.I'm exited for you bro.Good luck on the reveg,there's a lot of info here on that.I'm sure you had a reason but why didb;t you take cuts the day you went into 12/12?That has always been my major problem in perpetual growing to tell you the truth,trying to slow down my vegging plants and finish my flowering girls before my veggers got too damn big.I just started taking cuts at around 2 weeks 12/12,I love totally pistiless "veg" cuts but there aren't a whole lot of options I discovered.I even kept the veggers under flo's for a full two weeks before moving them to HID's,but the buggers just wanted to grow too damn fast lol!

 

[pop_rocks]

morning fiddy!

i am so glad its finally the weekend
this week seemed like it was four mondays in a row
plus mrsChicky had some creep road rage on her early thursday morning while trying to get gas
they were stopped at a light and the signal changed
the guy wasnt paying attention so she gave hima little beep
well this set him off and he ended up following her and yelling, playing all kinds of stupid games
i can understand being upset and saying something, maybe even flipping the bird, but when you start folllowing people you are taking things too far
at one point she was so worried she said she was ready to lock herself in the car and call the police
i told her the guy was a A-hole and a bully and prob would not ahve pulled this crap if someone else was in the car wiht her
i ended up calling ehr from work and talking to her for a while and she felt better afterwards, but i dont like people who try intimidating others, esp women

i will def give that chemdog thread a good read
thanks for posting
its always fun to read the history of some of the classic strains

ive noticed that fast finish is a trait in a lot of the 8wk strains
like once they start to ripen they go into double time and finish off really fast
im wiht you and try to pick when there are still a lot of cloudy tricomes
i like the more heady buzz and usually go for about 25% amber myself

yes, if you leave a few of the lower branches intact the plant should revert back to veg
once its grown enough, you can take cuttings and then try and grow those out again
i would not try and reflower the original plant a second time tho

a prime rib roast sounds awesome but you cant go wrong with rib eye off the grill!
this reminds me, i need to get soem meat going so i can cook it up later
i have a nice tri tip roast i was planning on cutting into steaks but now i think i will just throw the whole roast on the grill

hope your weekend is off to a great start,friend!

Good morning Floridian.

Looks like 2&4 are ready and I'm going to give them the chop next couple days. 1&3 need a little more time and I want them to be their best so let them have a week if need be. I want cloudy trichs with just a few ambers because I already get sleepy when smoking. Maybe I'll let one of the plants get a few more ambers and see how I like it.

I didn't take cuts because I don't have a place for mothers and clones right now. That is going to change. I have a spot in mind under my basement stairs and I think I can just put a tarp up for a door and get some t5's or even LED bulbs in there. That should give me room for some moms and rooted cuttings. I want to continue to pop seeds for a few more grows and select the best to keep around. Once I get some nice moms I'll start growing them from clone. I took clones from my plants on my second grow and had pretty good results getting them to root.

Timing the cuts and veg time will be important like you mention and that will be a new thing for me to learn. Having so much to learn and practice is really keeping these grows interesting. I look forward to trying new things and improving my technique.

Good morning pop_rocks.

I hear you it's been a long week and is looking like a busy weekend ahead. I have to help a buddy out with a couple of his bikes, harvest a couple of the plants and I have a good size list of chores around the house.

That sucks about the creepy rager. You are right there is no need for people to act like that, especially to a lady. Even when somebody almost hits me on my motorcycle I don't get all upset and try to chase them. Like you said to yell fuck you and flip someone off is sometimes appropriate but then drive away and put it behind you. If the guy was asleep at the light and just needed a reminder she was definitely in the right. One of the reasons I ride so much is to avoid traffic. When we lived in Oakland and worked in San Fran it as a 1/2 hour ride to work but more like 1-2 hours in a car. I made the decision not to drive a car there very quickly. Around here traffic is usually pretty good except on the freeway near Milwaukee and luckily I rarely get to experience that.

There are some good links in the chemdog thread that I didn't get to check out much so I hope the storie is there somewhere. Since they are stoners and so much time has passed its likely to have some inconsistencies and what not.

Yes I'm super surprised at how fast these lady's are finishing. Since these are my first to really finish this is new to me. Double time is right. Super stoked.

I did some reading about reveg yesterday and I'm still on the fence if I'm going to try or not. My other option is to get another pack of LW's and see if I can find her (or an even better one) again. I'm going to think on it a bit and see. I've been reading that it's very stressful and she could herm on me. That makes me wonder if a good test for stability would be to reveg a girl and see if she herms. If I do reveg it would be to get cuts for sure.

So my bro showed up with a 13 pound rib roast after work yesterday and we put 1/2 of it on the charcoal cooker and gorged ourselves on rib last night. Man it was good. I ate way too much. And I forgot to take pics for the food porn thread again.
That tri tip sounds great. I don't know why but it's a hard cut to find in these parts and I miss making it. I use to get them all the time in Oakland and I always grilled them whole. Then I'd slice and sometimes make a sandwich with them. I had a red wine vinegar maranade that I liked to use on them.

I hope your weekend is going well...Fiddy.

 

[pop_rocks]

im with you re:revegging
i think it has to cause some stress and i would not try flowering the same plant twice
i would reveg the plant and take cuttings
hopefully the cuts would show no signs of stress and grow like normal
just looking at the pics i would say the LW was pretty uniform
like three look very much alike and then there is LW#4
im not sure if the LW#4 showed a common trait, but i would not be surprised if you find her again if you hunted through another pack or two
but some things you cant tell froma photo and you should know better than anyone else
/how would you describe the differences between the plants? do they seem similar in smell

that is so weird about tri tip being hard to find in your area
here its a really popular cut, plus its kind of in the middle as far as quality/price goes
yeah, i plan on grilling it whole but trimming off that tail part
/i like to cut that part up into strips and country fry them

but some things you cant tell froma photo and you should know better than anyone else
/how would you describe the differences between the plants? do they seem similar in smell

that is so weird about tri tip being hard to find in your area
here its a really popular cut, plus its kind of in the middle as far as quality/price goes
yeah, i plan on grilling it whole but trimming off that tail part
/i like to cut that part up into strips and country fry them

Good afternoon pop_rocks.

Yes a lot of the threads and comments on reveg people report that she will throw some nanners and balls. I have GBs in veg so I'd have to keep them separate so I don't get accidental pollination. It sounds like if you can get her happy again the cuts are usually ok but getting the mom healthy is key.

From what I see the #2&3 are most similar. The #1 is bigger and more frosty and the keeper of them. The #4 is the runt with weird growth but that might be due to root issues or other stressors. It would have been interesting to grow out the #4 again and see if she grows differently next time.

Yes I think I'd find her again if I popped more beans. I have 3 or 4 left from that pack and if I get another pack I'd have 2 runs worth of seeds to work with. I think I'm leaning twards doing that.

The smell is more similar in all of them than I've experienced before. All have strong lemon/skunk/diesel scent. Looking forward to a sample if they taste as good as they smell I should be really happy. Defenatly no cardboard phenos here.

Man country fried steak sounds good. I usually use chuck steak for that pounded with tenderizer. I soak in buttermilk then dredge in seasoned flower and pan fry. I always make a country gravy and serve with mashed potatoes. Damn tasty.

cant wait to hear the smoke reports on the LW
they all sound so good, i dont see how you can go wrong
of LW#1 and #4, which was the easiest to grow?
i know you had some concerns about #4 early on but it sounded like she came through in the end
when considering the "best" plants, i think ease of cultivation is right up there
ive had some dank plants in the past that were such a pain to grow or had low yield
i dont mind lower yields so much, but am not a fan of the hard to grow strains

yea i have these nice tri tip roasts that i wanted to grill, but there is this thinner tail part on each of them so i just trimmed the smaller part off and set that aside
i could have thrown those on the grill as well and just pulled them earlier, but i had this craving for potaotes and gravy so i went wiht the country fried
damn tasty indeed!
im planning on making an enchillada casserole later today so we can bring the left overs to work for lunch
i ahvent tried soaking in the butter milk tho,does it help tenderize the meat?


mrsChicky isnt feeling well so we are looking at a nice chill day at home
the weather is so nice today, i hvae the whole house opened up right now
i hope she feels better later and maybe we can get out for a walk

hope youre having a great weekend fiddy!

Hey guys
Wow St Joe/Cape San Blas meets all my models for a place to throw it in neutral. Camped 10 days $240. Already picking sites for next spring. There's a boardwalk through the rushes with secluded benches where we went to do paperwork a d watch the egrets. The pax vape held up well on the beach and was discreet enough for nights by the fire. My blend of 40\60 Bangi Haze and 818 headband pleased all. I did find I preferred the haze for wake and bake though
Floridian how's mom? You check out that 36 hour day book yet? It really helped me. There is an endless pool of strength when caring for someone you love it just keeps coming. Hang in there bro we're all in this together.
Oh one thing accept help it will come from unlikely places.
