Competition GROW CONTEST WINNER: Noreason gardens

do you trim the roots when you transplant ?

do you trim the roots when you transplant ?

No, never. If they didn't get dry in the past they're going to be perfect. If too much air for the roots for too much time, they tend to become hard and maybe a little trimming would benefit. However it is not necessary, cannabis is a fast plant, not a slow tree. In contact with water roots growth is fast even from a big, lignified, hard root, unlike trees

this thread is a never ending source of nice infos, like the "unlucky phenos flowering cab" (love it!) and your watering techniques... i water from the bottom a lot when plant are small/medium, then i always water from the top for adult plants... but my grow op. is quite smaller and i grow multistrains in bio-soil (now biocanna terra)...

i remember you found different phenos of the chocotonic, the sativa pheno, the indica pheno (rock hard-super colored- i think you mention it was your favorite?) and a bunch of hybrid phenos... all looked tempting... so which one are you using for this new seeds batch? the indica one?

 

[tleaf jr.]

I meant the roots that have extended thru the drainage holes , also are the roots growing thru the drainage hole because of the pots being lifted off the ground or from being bottom fed. recently I've been thinking of setting my pots on soil beds and letting the roots grow into the soil bed, I will then be able to have a no-till soil bed but still have the plants in indivisual pots for easy transplant. I've seen Douglas fur farms where the trees were grown in pots in the ground , once they have been sold they are excavated, the hanging roots are cut and the remaining roots are wrapped in burlap and they are sent to their appropriate owners seems it would work in my garden also

Right! That old indica pheno #6, that later I called ''dark tonic'' for its tendency to turn dark at late flowering even with high temps. Just yesterday I was smelling a flowering clone and said in my mind, wow this is exactly the flavor of a mandarin just opened, I did a great thing selecting this pheno!

Basically this one:

Sorry, I didn't understand the question.

However just don't care about roots. They know what they do. Leave them there and go over. Just ensure a clean floor without dirt.

Never did this.
I think you're correct and you can do without any issue. However I would try a very light soil bed, probably with an high % of perlite and some coco fibers.

Where I live there are many fields with different trees cultivar. Every 5 years or so, depending on the tree specie, they're excaveted and sold in colder climates, replaced with a new kind of trees still little that are going to grow up to be sold again and in the same time they gives fruits.

Fabulous pictures, thanks!

What will you do with the trim?

 

[noreason]

Hey Jump, nice one

This run I put all the trim in EtOH and then I made some jelly with a dry sift I had to smoke it in joints, love to smoke a fat hashy one early in the morning along a good strong coffee

Glad you got some inspiration from this thread bro! Keep it this way, here is plenty of passionate growers sharing their knowledge to eveyone ready to learn. I am one.



Well, some other S1 shots

Smoking one pheno I found three seeds. This means one thing: bananas! Considering the seeds, male flowers I didn't see came out at start/mid flowering. However I think it's a localized thing because those 3 seeds were all in the same bud and the other buds are seeds free at now.

Some more CT S1 shots

always very nice update in one of the most interesting 3d on the bucum very big respect by by

 

[noreason]

@Homero, thanks a lot!


Here we have some shots of an MK-Ultra from TH-Seeds. The one I'm going to cross with a chocotonic male. A really nice diesel pheno!

 

[noreason]

I have some females of Pakistani Chitral Kush from Cannabiogen, I liked this strain for its purple color, so I decided to cross it with an F1 ChocoTonic male.

I did no selection this time. The strain is weak, growing slow.

I'm going to pollinate all the females and make selection on the offspring, searching for a good purple pheno along the chocotonic smell mainly.

 

[baroudeurdu30]

honestly you are the best thanks to you I learned many things

 

[noreason]

I like a lot when lower buds are resin covered, sometimes even more than the upper ones. You can't touch those flowers without make your fingers sticky!

I often consider lower buds quality to know what strain/pheno is better.
Plants producing a lot of bud-sites, traducing in very small flowers with poor or no resin at the end of flowering are not the ones I like.
These kind of plants need a lot of lollipopping, branches cleaning. All energies wasted.

Insted, I like a lot those plants with few bud-sites, but bigger and covered in resin. Little sticky flowers!

This is not exactly what I mean but it's very frosty the same! It's a little branch of a CT S1.

Frosty anf leafy, another S1 pheno. These phenos are not shown in the F1 offspring, but they're really tasty! However low yielder compared to other phenos that takes longer.

And some ChocoTonic F1 aka the ''dark-tonic'', the mom of S1 offspring and others hybrids.I love this pheno, it rocks hard.

Now they're in flowering from 25 days, already have smelly resin and leaves are perfect. No signs of anything, just a lot of healt! This pheno is really easy to grow, just give it a little extra calcium and it's fine!

This is what I meant before, when I was saying about lower flowers.

And a dark leaf to close the update

Green vibes!

Damn looking good nice shots.

shit i want to be a student of you..!

 

[noreason]

Thanks guys!

Tonight some shots of the flowering PCK, everyday they become more purple. Two phenos over the others are more purple

And here a small clone of CT F1 ''dark tonic'', almost ready to chop.
