thanks for that info guys. so cherry ak has no relation... does anyone ever see it around? i would love to puff some of that. i had a seriously ak dom chronic plant that was incredible. it smelled like antique furniture.
Nothing like puffing some good weed reminiscing about afternoons at grandma's house! :biglaugh:

shes a cut passed by a friend that sorted a couple packs. i havent smoked it yet, first run but its the fruitiest smelling sumbitch ive ever had i think. blows the jillybean away lol. we sorted a few packs of jill too, years ago. it was tasty orange dreamsicle, but it was crap in every other category. jillybean was the reason i quit running tga stock. tangie comes from the same stock as the jillybean did but im hoping he did a better job selecting for potency. this tangie smells like a super juicy clementine hanging from a georgia pine tree. i have high hopes for that translating into a complex palate and not the one note wonder of the jilly. that with a little potency would cinch a long running slot in my room.

If your looking for a citrus dominate smell and taste with other stuff mixed in, run a pack or two of 24KT Gold from DNA. It's Kosher Kush x Tangie. I had a pheno that was like a 50/50 split of the two varieties. Smelled like the best orange cleaning product you have ever smelled. Mixed with the classic OG smell and taste. Super potent stuff too. Only 1 plant of 3 seeds I started was like that. The other two were Tangie dom, and not that special at all. But that first seed plant.....oh boy.

Man everything is looking so good! That mixed bed is really filling out nicely :) Crazy how well everything did in that soil with no cook time. I hella want to mix up another batch of organic dirt for my next run. U got worms in your beds? Also, what time do your lights come on and off?

its actually in my top 5 right now, i couldnt find any pure kosher available last time i looked so i settled on going for 24k. will be a month before i can order so who knows. good tip thanks dtog

star, trich, dj - thank you!

zack - the worm colonies i ordered showed up riddled with springtail larvae so i chucked them outside. so no i dont have any live worms in the beds right now. ill be ordering some soon i guess. right now my lights run from 7-7 im going to switch them down to 8-7 tonight i think. ive got about 14 days till i start chopping i might try tapering down to 10h this run

shit is looking beyond proper; bigups, nameless :good:

i grew the 24k white from karma (not sure if they are related at all) but it was/is super nice classic cedar/musk/pine OGK type with EXTRA frost like a hashplant

i like to taper my hours towards the end, especially when fighting high temps, but if you have humidity you wana watch out for warm wet air and extra hours of dark time as harvest nears.... not an issue where im at, plenty of warm but never much wet air

that pink cheese has an interesting look to it, whats the story there and what's that girl smell like?

hey avi! thanks -
i ran the white a couple times while back and i felt that it was very flat smoke. frosty obviously but since i wasnt breeding anything i eventually dropped it. frost does me no good without a nice flavor. interesting how the white pairs so well with everything it touches but is very boring on its own.
good point about the extra wet air time my humidity has been higher than id like to admit the past month.
heres the skinny on the pink cheese, which was selected by useless.gardens

exodus x cheese berry haze (f4)
these were fem seeds made by e$ko for alien grow shop in the netherlands.
the cbh (f4) is the "pink lady" , bomber, with pink hue to the pistils
cheese berry haze involves :exodus, large dj short selection, soma's cup clone of g13/haze x ssh.
this plant will show some color in low temps but its very exodus leaning... so no pink pistils.

the nose on this girl has had a huge range over the past couple weeks, going from slightly minty to rotten trash to zesty citrus with some lurking funk. i dont know where its gonna land but i smell this plant every night now. its really hard to describe it.

so, i hate to admit it, but this current glue mono is a small fail for me. yes ill still pull plenty of good flowers, but the potential to maximize output is missed. the canopy is totally uncontrollable. i got so frustrated trying to stake up flopping tops with one hand last night that i teared up and had to step out of the room to collect my emotions. probably 25-35% of the canopy is laid out. i went to three fucking hardware stores yesterday and couldnt find any 5' stakes. tried to use 4' to no avail. so, because of laziness early in the run ive basically failed myself this round. mix bed is great, and i think ill still clear 3lbs of glue, but ive failed the potential of the plant, and my own potential as well. its ok though, im still getting back in the swing of things and getting used to the glue.

good news is, i think i can hit 4lbs even with the 630s, so by the end of june ill be starting the summertime run of glue... and then my friends, you will see some serious shit

I would suggest making a 2 tier scrog/trellis set-up for when running mono's of Glue. I'm having the same problem right now with a couple Glue plants at week 6. Buds are flopping all over the place, cause the stems just can't support the weight. Seeing how you already use PVC for your trellis, making another tier should be easy.

DTOG is right; trelis net for the win
in times of need i have been known to wastefully cut up some of my 4 ft stakes into 2ft-ers and zip tie them onto the OTHER (whole) 4t-ers making me a stake that's about 5" or so. takes at least 2 zip ties and it's a lil bit wasteful on the stakes...
also used that trick to make REAL tall stakes like 10/11 ft-ers out of 2x 6ft stakes. shit i even built the frame for my trellis net out of long stakes zip tied together (i'm such a cheap-ass)
BUT you gotta do that shit soon enough; once buds start flopping around it's too late

i think i'm going to have to put in a 3rd layer of trellis for my big glue, it keeps stretching, the light is about maxed out on height and i have no option other than another layer of net

Don't be so hard on yourself. The silver lining here is that you've learned a valuable lesson that you wouldn't have otherwise. I've had MANY of these lessons learned throughout growing. But guess what, I've never made them again. My best lessons were learned the hard way and you can always pass that knowledge on to others so they can avoid the same mistakes. You got this :comfort:

:yes:

Dude, mad fuckin props for bein real. U grow way better shit and get way more done with one hand than what most people can do with two. Honestly man, u need to give yourself more credit.

Can't tell u how impressed I was when I first saw your set up. Then when I found out you did damn near everything using only one hand I was floored. Like holy shit this dude is dedicated!

And like who dat said, we all have been there before. Frustrated and pissed at things we could have done different. The important thing is to step back, take a breath, blaze one up and think about things with a cool clear head.

To me it seems like dtog and avi are spot on. Just get 4 of whatever size pole/stick/long hard thing(lol) and attach one to each corner with zip ties or gorilla tape or whatever. Then use some cheap trellis to add another layer of screen on top and weave the floppy bitches in!

Maybe there's something else we're missing but it should work prefect for ya. Anyway, keep ya head up bro this ain't yer first rodeo :biggrin:
