30 sec vid a Les Fleurs Bleues I have outside, near a swampish area, Ive never watered it, I went and looked at it 3 times since transplant in June I think.

She's about 7 feet tall..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9mQ3qqtNng&feature=youtu.be

Unfortunately, I did not pick the best spot because at this time of the year (yesterday sept 13th) at 11.30 when shooting the vid she was just getting in the sun, I think she gets very minimal sun and won't amount to anything this year but I think she has potential outside that's for sure!

I am trying to germinate some Les Fleurs Bleues X THUNK for the second time and the beans only 3-4 months old are not cracking... I think I have to do the sand paper trick which I have never done, but I can not keep wasting them seeds there are so few!!

In case I get weird stuff happening in the room I had a timer blowing up and I have no idea how many days it's been this way. So there was a set of light on 24/7 :puke:

Seems like some greater force keeps trying to slow me down!

I received seeds today! In the water went 3 Cuvee ( TGA ) , 4 Respect ( Reggae seeds) , 1 O'haze (reggae seeds) and also 2 Revolution (reggae seeds)

I did have one Les Fleurs Bleues X THUNK cracking so hopefully I can get it to germinate.

Also waiting on some more beans in the mail, mostly a bodhi order, an all bodhi order actually but lots of freebies from seedsman.

I ordered Neroli 91 (which I am most excited about), Granola Funk which I am the least stoked about :D, Strange Brew (Which also totally stoked about) and Elfinstone also so stoked about.

I have been smoking marginal weed all summer due to pest pressure ,... not that the weed is full of bugs poop mostly that Ive been smoking weed harvested early most of the summer besides the odd plants.

The best weed I have ever smoked will come out of my garden within the next 6 months I am sure.

This is a note for next year, I had a Strawberry OG X (BCD X MissJack) male right next to a CBD therapy that tested slightly more CBD than THC. The male was 7 foot tall, nice structure, upright branches, not a wimp.

So far I tested one female of the line Strawberry OG X (BCD X MissJack) (the #2) and she had very low CBD and 12.3% THC. She was very loud as a live plant, not as loud in the jar but still pretty terpy.

The other female (the #1) I grow feels a little stonier but very different smell, very good smell, but not as mold resistant.

Anyway, I killed the male Sept 14th, the therapy is also about 7 ft tall, I think 100% seeded as of Sept 14 th and now the new white pistils are starting to come out.

What I am curious to see, and hope, is that I don't get too much mold (so far she's looking 100% no mold but it s getting wetter around here) for about a month and I really hope that I can harvest thousands of seeds around October 15th. Wish me good weather.

Id go through some of those beans in 2018 and see if I can score some high CBD terpy rich cultivars. If not I hope I can at least get a few beans to be mature enough to germinate.

This is my first attempt at making seeds outdoor.

As far as indoor goes, I have a Les Fleurs Bleues X THUNK that germinated today, I am really stoked about the THUNK crosses, I think I might find something special.

I transplanted a bunch of clones from the cloneking today I get almost 100% on clones with the cloneking, what a game changer for me. The ones that dont root still look healthy and would eventually root I am sure.

Temps are cooling down, I think I have a few more weeks of spending a lot of money on insects and then I can maybe start doing a little better than just smoking for free....

well the prego girl was at a different site, I did water those a few times but they were extremely neglected.

I did a quick vid of the 3 plants I have on that site but they are no longer getting enough direct sun and I dont think any of them will make it. The seeded plant (CBD Therapy) gets a little more sun.

in the video, in order is a Chupacabra, a Les Fleurs Bleues, and finally the seeded CBD Therapy. at 50 sec you can see the male I pulled out of the ground days ago.

I am really stoked about this little seedling, I have high hopes, whether female or not, I ll use this one. I am on a mission to create new types of highs mixing high CBD with long flowering sativas, the thunk flowers I harvested closer to full maturity (110 days) are very potent, not an ounce of couchlock in them.

Also today is the day I move the Memory Loss X THUNK in the flower room.

I believe I am about to grow the best cannabis I have ever grown, really excited about the next 6 months.

LFB x THUNK? Going for max CBD and THC? Sounds like a cool project
Click to expand...

I am not looking for max CBD and max THC (though I would not complain!), what I am looking for is the unique terpenes that develop only in those cultivars that have long flowering time, and see what the effects might be like with a dash of CBD, or plenty.

The thunk have a smell to die for, and the lowest buds I finally hung today flowered up to 115 days I think have a more pronounce smell than the ones harvested at day 100ish.

I can only imagine those terpenes with the LFB, yumm yumm! please cannabis god listen to my prayer and give it to me.

Sweet Pine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paLq6_hlFYw&feature=youtu.be

Another one that has a smell to die for is my Sweet Pine, I believe that one was (Romulan X Island Sweet Skunk) X (SpaceBomb) taken to F3. This girl is the last of the bunch, I no longer have any seeds of that line. So she has become very precious to me and I should make seeds any way I can soon, yield absolutely sucks but the smell is sweet pine heaven, so loud, so sweet! I have yet to grow her to full potential, still working on her, she's hard to clone too! This was one of the ''cola'' lol

Ever seen a plant so healthy that sugar is oozing out?

This has not happened to me for quite some time, I was stoked to see one drop on my sweet pine, making it extra sweet!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6GjlhNOgpo&feature=youtu.be

It's a really small drop of sap, Ive had it bigger and darker in the past, taste is like sweet cannabis syrup.

I wonder what made this plant so healthy, the new vermicompost I was using? the old red and blue LED as side lighting? that fixture which is nearly dead now has always grown super healthy plants, makes me want to try the red and blue again, the 3500k are growing nice frosty nugs but the plants are rarely as healthy as I had them in the past under the red and blue.

Day 1 for the SIP with 3 cultivars, Purple X #2, Strawberry OG X (BCD X MJ) #2 and Grapefruit x ChemDBx #3. I chose those 3 because they were similar in size and flower time could be more or less 63 days on all 3 cultivars.

The Strawberry OG cross had .4% THC difference between days 63 and day 70, so if I have to take her down at day 63 so be it. However, I really want to start taking my plants deeper into flowering, Ive been harvesting early most of the summer and it's time to re-visit the other end of the spectrum.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7EMkFnigqo&feature=youtu.be

I believe this SIP is on it's 8th round if not more.(the one shown in the first few secs with plants on day 1) I have yet to take a SIP apart to see what the reservoir looks like after several rounds but I am digging the SIPs that's for sure!

Sorry the low quality of the videos and poor lighting but for me this is way faster than taking a bunch of pics and I can come back later and see what was going on. I ll be uploading good quality pictures at some point again but for now those quick clips work better for me.

Keeping a diverse library is the most challenging part of this wonderful hobby, constantly refreshing the moms, cloning, seed popping, transplanting, more transplanting ... here is a glimpse at the veg room today, I do this without ever spraying, no pesticides, no foliar feed, just good old vermicompost/perlite/vermiculite and insect frass. The mugs and glasses filled with bran are actually ''slow release'' cucumeris

In case you wonder about the unhealthy leaves, I had a mishap 2 weeks ago where I used a new liquid seaweed and the ammonia smell was so intense that I thought there was something wrong with it, I thought it contaminated my soil and I basically pulled the plants that came in touch with it and rinsed the roots and planted them in clean soil. There was probably nothing wrong with the seaweed but better safe than sorry, I returned the bottle. It was so pungent it smelled like there was some sort of chemicals in it, but apparently it was a chemical free extraction.

I chopped one of the main cola from my SLK X BH #1 , she's sitting at day 69, and looks far from being ready. I had to inspect at least one of the colas to make sure she was not starting to mold inside. Happy to report there was not a hint of mold, and in my setup, with my growing style, if plants have buds this big at this stage in flowering and show no signs of mold I call them mold resistant.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdBKzwmUjAM&feature=youtu.be

So far Id say my SLK X BH #2 is the keeper of the 3 girls I grew. The number 3 needs a little more time to finish, but its not very loud, if I smell it long enough I pick a smell I really dig but I think I ll endup getting rid of it.

Same with the #1, I have to take a good long inhale to pick a faint background smell that is totally to die for. Yields very good but the flowering time is significantly longer than the other 2 ( the number 3 not quite done but is almost done at day 53)

Most testing/sniffing needed ...

The #2 is the loudest, decent flowering time, great resin, I plan to keep that one a few cycles and get to know her.

I did use a male SLK X BH on my Blue Spoon yesterday, only enough for 10-20 seeds.... I am probably going to pollinate a couple other girls tonight with it but I don't have high expectation.


It is the first time I ever clone a male before flowering so I will keep the SLK BH alive until I run some blue spoon cross and see what it did.

Updated list of keep Hers, nice to have in the veg room, it helps a lot when comes time to take cuttings. I am definitely looking at narrowing down the list of keep hers to 10 cultivars, 15 moms is a bit ridiculous on top of all the runner ups, I am growing a lot of plants that end up in the compost ..., they never see the flower room. I only have so much room for flowering...

Culling plants, a skill I need to work on!

STOG #2 (Strawberry OG (BCD X MJ))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hrplUQ6HRw&feature=youtu.be

I probably won't grow the STOGs again (great loud plants, both of them) The reason being my little outdoor grow yielded quite a lot of seeds from 3 plants and dad was the brother of both STOGS, the only 3 seeds found in the Strawberry OG mom.

Chupacabra x STOG
Therapy X STOG (that one was fully seeded, I cant wait to see how many viable seeds)
Les Fleurs Bleues X STOG

The last plant I zoom in is the More Cowbell from bodhi, what a difference when grown properly, seeing what this plant does in the SIP makes me very happy I kept her around.

In order is Barbara from house of great gardener, candida#2 from Medical marijuana genetics, spacebomb x dragon fruit, (dr.grinspoon x bluesage), More cowbell, the last 2 in the corner I dont focus on are 2 Les Fleurs Bleues ... buds are getting heavy on those, looking forward to see if she 's as mold resistant and she always been. Those colas are going to be massive though.

Always learning something new, you think water hash is simple but it has it's complexities.

This is some of my best extraction of fresh frozen so far, it used to always come out quite green for me. This was my Les Fleurs Bleues outdoor, I dont think the yield was great but most of the hash is still drying.

Drying hash on cardboard works great when you make your hash with dry trim or dry buds but with fresh frozen, (probably strain dependant as well) all the hash was like a chewing gum and stuck to the cardboard really bad.

I am waiting to see if the hash will come off easy when completely dry but in the mean time I found a trick to get it off the cardboard.

I froze the whole pizza box with the hash on it and after a while I scraped it onto parchment.

This is the 73u second wash, the first wash yielded quite a bit more.

I thought this looked clean enough for dabbing and it worked but got the banger quite dirty, it was also still too wet. Once pressed with the first wash I think it will make some fire rosin.

Also today I transplanted 3 plants in the SIP that had the spacegrin. Missjack #2, Les Fleurs Bleues and Sweet Pine, so tomorrow will be day one on those.

I think I will rename the SpaceGrin to Weeping Willow, LOL

She was so thick, like 10 clothes hanger filled with resiny sticks!The yield of resin is great, this plant would make some very fine hash, I might have to start growing her exclusively for water hash extraction but that would be way more hash than I could smoke.
