G&M Herijuana x Blueberry/Chem Dawg SR x Nanda Devi

[oldfogey8]

boy howdy I bet it stinks to high heaven in that tent

It has a nice aroma. The Heri-Berry is fruity. My wife said fruity and a bit of solvent(she said lighter fluid but probably what she meant). The Dawg-Devi is fuelly enough that I smell it along with licorice (which I prefer to the term anise)…

I was in a stupor last night so I missed checking the plants. The pots were about as light as I would want them to be and a couple of the Blumats were dripping. Dialed all valves to get the dripping about once per second. We will see how that does for keeping them happy.

 

[oldfogey8]

Still trying to dial these Blumats in. Settings on 2 were too far open. Soaked the bejeezus out of 2 pots. I have a week to get this set up.

The Heri-Berry plants will be a pain to trim. The Dawg-Devi plants look like they will be easy.

8 weeks of 12/12 lighting…

I thought I was starting to see some amber but it is actually purple creeping up the trichome stems.

My son took a few pics for me…

11 days basically on their own. Looks like the bucket ran dry so I gave them some water. The Dawg-Devi plants were thirsty. Oddly, at 10 weeks of 12/12, they all look like they can use 2 more weeks…

Change of plans. My Roots Organics Green Lite bag was home to mice and they stored a bunch of sunflower seeds in it. So I sowed the seeds this morning in some peat pots using Coast of Maine Organic Potting Soil. 2 of the G&M seeds have cracked their husks already. The peat pots are in a Tupperware container and covered in Saran Wrap. They will go into the furnace room today after the boiler techs inspect my boiler. Dark and warm, just like the seeds like it, until they all show up above the soil. They will go into my temporary grow space(a cardboard box) under a 2 bulb HO T5 fixture with 10000k tubes along with another project I have going unrelated to cannabis.

Funny on the sunflower seeds had the same thing happen with acorns.
Darn things loaded up a bag with a 100 that I counted.
After planting found some more but just when I think I found them all I had baby oaks coming up in solo cups along with the seedling.

I remember some stringier looking centerfolds in the late 70’s now that you mention it. Maybe seeing what people grow these days have tainted my idea of beauty? In the end for me though, I will take buzz nuances, flavor and aroma over hard hitting, high THC and high yielding plants at this point.

I have grown 4 plants in a 2x4 in the past but this could be more challengingly since the 2 strains look to be one sativa dominant and one indica dominant. I see lots of LST, pruning and a shorter veg time in my future. Not looking for yield fortunately. I rarely even smoke much anymore. I just enjoy the gardening aspect.

I religiously pack my 2 x 4's, 8 is my max though, I only veg for 40 days tops.
I finish in 2 gal and pull 2-3 zips dry out of each pot.

Looks like I have at least one male CDSR x ND. Once I verify that, he will be quarantined(to collect pollen)because being a ‘collector’, I would like to have some more seeds since I used up what I had. The Heri-Berry plants are not showing me squat yet.

Weren't most of G&M gear s1?
I still have their BB Indica waiting in the wings

yes , most are s1 but some ain’t , I found that out 2 years ago when we planted 9 different strains , which I thought were all s1

but noooooo , one of those 9 popped a nut and now I have a lot of seeds from 9 different plants with an unknown male

no biggie because all 9 are Top Shelf and it will be fun seeing what comes out of that bunch..

2 more weeks

it must stink for n there

 

[oldfogey8]

I am thinking the delayed ripening(maybe half and half clear and cloudy trichs) may be due to high nitrogen content in the leaves. On two Heri-Berry plants, the sugar leaves are really dark green and shiny like a bit of nitrogen toxicity(but no nute burn at all). The drip system doesn’t flood the soil so no nutrients get washed away. Two of the Heri-Berry plants are fading though(the slightly stretchy phenos). Gotta love the purples, reds and golds…

Strange I ran something else of there's and had the same problem don't remember which strain, think it was 2 years ago.
But it got axed, my hermies go out the door

I think at least 2 more weeks. My sense of smell is a bit fooked today. Airplane travel does that to me. I took the drip irrigation system out and flushed the heck out of the plants this morning. Thinking my soil has a lot of built up nutrients since drip irrigation never floods the soil.

 

[oldfogey8]

I didn’t think the seeds had matured enough but I found one poking out of a Dawg-Devi today.

Some bud pics

Not sure what is going on with a couple of buds. Browning leaf tips but only some buds

beautiful set up, very similar to my indoor tent I got 2 * 400WATT LED

These plants are starting to piss me off. No amber yet at over 11 weeks of 12/12 lighting. Drip irrigation late in flower is a no-go for me in the future though I should be grateful the plants remained healthy. I am flushing them pretty good now when watering so I think they are progressing as the trichs are mostly cloudy now.

 

[oldfogey8]

Clipped off the pollinated buds from the Heri-Berry. Rough trimmed.

Sunlit pic. If it wasn’t so frosty, you could see the purple hues. First world problems…

12 weeks today. Finally starting to see some amber but only here and there…

Dawg-Devi is showing some signs of stress with some sugar leaves browning up. Probably due to nitrogen toxicity.

Heri-Berry is still looking green, green, green and a few sugar leaves are dried up dark green.
