Land of a thousand colas, part deux

[gmanwho]

hey flower. thanks for the praise. i have only sent 2 smaller blocks out for processing the other day. I would have rather done some processing myself, but I dont have the time an manpower to setup the 60 gal bubble washer yet. or the in-depth knowledge necessary to run the 10# closed loop, an risk for not a proper return. Soon i hope, i would like to atleast run the bubble machine while there is snow on the ground.

Running snow instead of ice cube the product and returns where wonderful. the snow and water mixed is like liquid sandpapper. thou it has been awhile since ive done. an i hope nostalgia isnt clouding my judgement. But i do remember being very excited running snow hash.

The processing place charges $75 a # for fresh frozen and the badder / sauce returns and product always come out great. However, i am thinking of asking them to not run the crc column an do a side by side. Run one block of material with the crc & one block without.

does bricking it when fresh pop the trichromes ? I was told to keep it loose and open in the turkey bag prior to freezing and then gently crunch it down after it’s been frozen

not sure. seems like a valid point. you would get a bunch of trichome heads smearing oil on each other and on the bud leaf. kinda like resin build up on your hands or gloves when harvesting. that definitely sounds like a valid point

as you mention this an thinking, i bet it means even more when making bubble. cause you want the heads full and the stalks intact if possible. otherwise the broken stalks an head pieces fall thru screens, diminishing returns. this could be the difference of loosing a bunch of specific material in the return.

But ya. i bet a lot smeared when compacting prior to freezing. now i cant imagine the last harvest the freezer space it would take up. i would need a small box truck freezer

It only matters if you’re making bubble hash ...if you’re going to closed loop it don’t matter ...Probably preferable

Few of the OGchems. Room was taken down at 78 days. At the end of this run i was really pushing my dry down limits. EC was then pushing in the 40 to 43 EC range.

This clone only re run has been interesting. as expected, things are shining in different ways then the outdoor seed run. An it definitely has brought some thought of how to change the outdoor layout. Think first thing Im gonna do is take a 25% of the pots out of the greenhouse area. an move them to some other areas on the property. Drop down to 18 planters in that area instead of 24. 3 rows of 6, instead of 4 rows. maybe setup the planters staggered an or offset.

Feeling the overcrowded outdoor conditions did not let the plants fully express themselves. Outside there where plants that i thought would have been the best of the bunch. Then the plants that got shaded ,or dealt with insect pressure outside, now took the lead once ran indoor.

So im glad i went with my instinct to not choose based off that 1 outdoor grow. But then again dealing with a couple hundred clones for later is no small task.



Man the ogc 7 is a knock out!! 9 different ogc plants where in this round. I have 1 or 2 ogc's in the other flower room now, day 25 or so. so im only up to re running 11 of the 20 again.

Of the 9 ogc that i re ran, i was able to narrow down these some. top5 an top 3. but the ogc7, may very well be the winner from this round.

with ogc 11 and 14 probably making it into top 3, an ogc 5 & 8 definitively runner ups in top 5ish.

ogc19 & 1 had great large structure like the 11 but cola and particularly the calyxes where denser and rounder. but less smell, these got the bin. a few smells of these that i tossed kind of reminded me of onion bo mixed with raid insect killer or something along that lines..

Whats intersting to add, from the outdoor run, ogc1 was one of the plants i thought was gonna be a keeper. And outdoor OGC 7 flew under the radar.

ogc7 below has a chem and gaseous hot oil vapor smell with some skunk on the end notes. But not chem d halitosis. more like 91 maybe, or stardawg corey like. Break it apart and i get oil vapors that i smelled before. ** edit, after few weeks in the jar the chem d halitosis came out first smell, then some oil an d when squished or broken**

Smell reminds me of this huge machine shop i would visit for one of my first onsite service repair jobs. During the summer months that place was hot, and as soon as you walk through the door you would get hit with a wall of oil vapor smells from all the machines kicking up all the lubrication oil.

Maybe like a marvel mystery oil smell with bit of nag champa. Or a hopes firearm oil with a smidgen of naphthalene mothball. Then once the flower settles in a bag for a few days the skunk becomes noticeable .

The Above pics of the ogc7 has more granular larger trichomes like sand.



An below are the pictures is the ogc 11. A larger plant structure, more of a medium level chem d halitosis smell. Not a full on d smell, thankfully. But structure reminds me of the 92og (i think). Ogc 11 kind of has smaller trichome heads but lots an lots of coverage. Absolutely produces that ghost grey reflection look when viewing the room at night. (in my best bubbles voice) .....Greasyyyy

Love these 2 photos of the ogc 11

This shot was most but not all of the room. The plant rows at the bottom half is the shoreline head bands, and 1 capjunky. then the upper rows where the ogchems.

pic of one of the the shoreline headbands. which deserve their own post.

yum! wish you were closer, love to swap some flowerz and give those a taste...

 

[Stuntzii]

Beautiful property and gardens! Thanks for sharing all the projects throughout the thread. It’s my dream to have a nice chunk of land and this is some inspirational shit right here

 

[gmanwho]

Thanks everyone!! As many of our lives are, it has been quite a roller coaster to get here. Appreciate it.



This is OGC5, Definitely more on the og leaner side of the terpene profile. A Kush and earthy tasting pinene. Bright green. Great trich coverage. Excellent yielder

To me its a bit of a hold on for a ride high. Slightly anxious, moving forward feeling. where as the last ogc 7 is more of a relaxed couch comfort high. The drying even further has madethe samples even brighter of a green

next up is the ogc 15 , mix side of the expressions. little more floral then chem. mostly sandy trichomes

this plant express's to me both chem and an maybe kush, or chem and bubba maybe. the 2nd an 3rd picture below. the upper cola region expresses a different calyx structure then some of the lowers. More pointed calyx and less tear drop curve. almost like a bubba or a sour bubble. maybe sour dubb? like if the top of the cola height stopped, then 2inches below that top the cola grew into almost a " Y ". Kind like how gg4 would produce a crown top, but less exaggerated, maybe.

Looks like a fantastic seedline

Looks like a fantastic seedline

absolutely!!! Have a bunch of ogc7 plants veggng for a next run. an a mother im gonna spray some sts on

 

[gmanwho]

if i was on the other end receiving this jar of ogc 7, i would be very happy.

Lots of lung expansion for me. earthy halitosis is coming out more now then the previous oil vapors.

smells like some of the locals when they talk to you. You get a rolling ball of breath in your direction.
"hadouken”

Think i found a name for this one. hadouken it is.

Great name!

springs a knocking an im still sorting thru last years outdoor. F' me!! ive only culled like 5 of the 50 new cuts.

my clone & mother room has never looked so good here. i am grateful for my buddy's son that has been here for almost a year now. He has learned alot. He loves the plant & all plants. He likes to work & keep busy, always dreaming and planning ahead. likes to make new things happen, but understands how important it is to take care of the now.

I started reversing the OGC 7 an 11 in a small tent. Besides s1's, i have like 15 other cuttings i hope to impregnate. Hopefully the reversals take. Looking good so far at day 7 with the sts not damaging the donors to much.

Already lining up this summers seeds. Gonna be rocking some meltingpots sour dubb fems, some sour bx and some others. NL5 x destroyer, and some other things on deck too. This year i am making every effort to put out 5-6ft bushes by early june.


Swapped out all the hand cranks for the light movers. actually wish the electric hoist was a little slower. I may add another pulley to slow it down some. I should've added the electric hoist from day one. but money is abit different now then it was few years back.



larger flower rm 1, these are day 52 ish. probably another 20-25 days to go. Pictures below are mainly the straymindset fires as fuck, which i believe is hells angel og x jet fuel gelato. or its that genetics in reverse order, i forget atm.

Some of the HA FF phenos are very very hungry, compared to the others. Which surprised me. Cause to this point the beds have delivered well. Other then a must of replacing Nitrogen every run, and keeping up on small amounts of short term available P & K CA an Mg. Or maybe it was that the light was abit much for certain phenos, and i could NOT sync the root zone environment uptake to match the upper canopy drive.

thou, these plants got huge!!! maxxed the light movers height an then some. some lift points i attached ratchet straps to physically lift the array higher then the pulleys would allow.

The biggest ive grown indoor in awhile. They are 6.5-7.5ft tall. So maybe this run i may have out grew the current soil volume to plant size ratio. They are drinking pretty heavily. an the blumats are still keeping up at the lower end of the dry downs. Every other day they are getting teas of organic nutrients and mineral nutrients an microbe add backs.

Some phenos are very green an robust, an some started fading 5-7 days back already, a little to early. BUT, every plants pistols are popping or still replacing older pistols. So they arent that pissed off.

The Room stinks, the whole barn is stinking

Flower rm 3 startup has been delayed. Product Out flow has been slow. Unless things pick up, thinking i may just use it for outdoor prep.

rm 2 like 16 days of veg in photo, still getting the roots to fill the beds. Stardawg corey is on the left lower bed in the photo, still pretty hungry. Gonna folair feed them a little

the Dosido x stardawg ix is behind the corey. She is Loving life. what a plant. checks all the boxes.

the right side of photo against the wall is a few shoreline head bands. the back right bed has my attention, the shoreline head band #6. Nice bright lime green dense buds.Piney and kush og stone to me. they are a little slow to veg, but if you clean the lowers up it helps speed them up some.

Because i am still exercising the 13.5hr light on time at the begining of flower, instead of 12/12, I am only going 20days of veg. I have been getting a major stretch and bulking during the flower transition.

still taking time off the light timer every few days, and then by day 30 i am down to 12/12. day 60 i am 13/11
