Land of a thousand colas, part deux

[gmanwho]

Think this photo was late july. This is the double og chem side. Driving down into the area i saw this moment and i had to stop an take a picture

An now we are getting into flower. this next photo below, the left lower side is actually the same left side of the above photo. 6ft yellow ladder . 6ft metal posts

Another ridiculous sunset at the garden spot.

the right side is the santa cruz blue dream which surprised me being the tallest plants of the whole year. Being about 8ft or so in this photo.

another view , bdream on left

The fabric pots that have clones have 2 or 4 clones. These are the 4 royal kush pots, and the 4 santa cruz blue dream pots.

The 10 fabric pots that have the Double og chem s1's from seed, have 2 plants from seed per pot.

The 4 pots with the Skuntek Shoreline headbands fems each have 3 plants from seed per pot.

The basic idea is to run the outdoor plants and not waste electricity an real estate an determine which clones should eventually be ran indoors.



I lived in dumbfuckistan for awhile. It almost bite me, twice. I then moved to half dumbfuckistan. An then moved again. I feel your pain, really. And life is short.

I really want to grow more and turn this palce into a full fledged destination. i been massing quite a seed collection for the last 20+ yrs in hopes to grow tons of lines out. Produce f2's and or some small other breeding projects. I see people i know passing away, never to live a fraction of their dreams out.

When i was 10-12 i watched my father die from cancer. This changed everything. im only walking this earth for a short time an my time maybe soon. This place is 27yrs in the making.


Let there be light!

Saw this one early morning while i was checking leaf density

So you put then only same strains or cuts then inside, i ask it be difficult if needs another level of nuts ...


looks good dude

Where gonna need a bigger greenhouse!

Is literally what i said. i pulled the 3ft ground posts. and installed 6ft posts, now the post is 2 ft below ground & 4ft above. then the greenhouse arch will attach.

In the end the bluedreams where probably 8ft of stalk an cola, but the pallets an soil height brought them to about 10ft. I should have added a 3rd layer of trellis. Things stayed a little greener then i wanted in this patch but they went like another 10days past this photo.

In the end it was a success, But i wish i could have brought them another 10-15 days. Just wasnt in this years cards

Nearing harvest, maybe 8-10 days before the staged chop.
10ft ladder, blue dream left

mainly the double og chem side

havent talked much about these yet. One of the 9 strafoxgardenz "high as fuck" s1's, which is jet fuel gelato x hells angel og. i still have one more 10 pack. I really was quite smitten with these!! But i am a sucker for the hells angel og since i met lucifer og

i like to try also Double OG Chem OD too here but i doint have access to some seeds of it, here i germany is not this kind of OD strains avabile.


nice GH show dude

thanks man. you can find the double og chems through rebelgrown seeds website. He is a member here. rebelgrown dot com

TBH, the double og chems had some great plants. But the morphology for this batch was abit all over the place. these where s1's from maybe 4 yrs ago. An i know rebel grown has continued to work and refine this line since. Probably worked multiple times since these seeds where made. They where given to me as testers from i think 2020. There are gems in here absofuckinglutely! I have seen the gems in these plants. He has one multiple cannabis cups with the Doubleog chems. Much respect to rebelgrown!

Some og chems dominated, an some where the worst of all the seeds i started this year. But......the environment can be a bitch. So so so many variables. then the outdoor pest an disease pressure only amplify these known an unknown variables. Then the things i may have done wrong or what mother nature decides to throw this way.

It is also important to note i am near the coast line, so at times my dew point can get high from sunset to sunrise. Mainly spring and fall. This is perfect grounds for certain pathogens to thrive. Then throw in a sucking insect jumping from plant to plant chewing its way an spreading fungi or bacteria with every bite!

A few hundred feet away and 50 ft above a spore falls off a rotting branch and rides in on the wind. Or a bug just landed on your plants, a few minutes ago it was just feasting on a rotting log that's resting on the forest floor. Forgetaboudit

But this is also why i am running every plant atleast 1 more time indoor. I saw some plants that didnt really shine outside because of one or 4 variables quickly noted. But that plant still had greatness in other areas.



I also had 2 other small trial spots, 3 100 gal pots in each spot, in which i think at this point where the best plants from this years seed run. StrayMindset or Strayfoxgardenz "High as fuck" , which is jet fuel gelato x hells angel s1's. or is it hells angel x jet fuel. gonna get to the photos soon.


Below I already have 20 clones from this years outdoor running indoor, 9 are the double og chems. 9 shoreline headbands, 1 cap junky, and one from my friends massive outdoor plant. Day 20 or so

yeah i`m interessing at double og chems seeds,



First time i heard after 2011 Emerald Cup about it and from there it was in backmind to trying it one day at OD session.

Germany is not this king of highly qualtiy OD seeds avabile as at the states.
maybe i will conatct rebelgrown to ask him directly its possible or not to get access to his gear.


are u runnig it outside soil with nuts or not living soil as see from salt circles at smartpot.


big up dude & stay in touch togehter.

D

rebelgrown dot com. hes got some other great lines as well. Im eager to hear more about this doublelantern line or something named similar that @Chunkypigs has spoken highly about.


Its living, its amended soil, an occasionally i use a synthetic fert when needed to play "catch up".

I also use alot of teas, alot. basically every watering if i can. I also use teas because the ground or well water is very cold here, like 52f.

so when that cold water hits the soil beds it shocks the microbes an roots, an i feel it slows both of their matabolism's down. i seen it drastically happen indoor too. So i start to warm tomorrows water in the brewers.


but in regards to the salt circles ,the exact cause i think is from the nutrients amended to the soil. An not particularly the synthetic nutes. there is alot of amendments in these pots. If i had to guess the gypsum an other calciums, an especially the potassium magenesium sulfate are a majority of the build up stains.

The pot mag sulfate comes as a rock crystal, it looks like something u would salt your driveway with.

The soil started with a recipe from dankfrank here, an has evolved multiple times since. Now there is easily 25+ inputs to the soil an around 40#'s of dry nutrient added to each 100 gallon bed.

gotta pull out the notes for this ..........alfalfa, aragonite, azomite, blood meal, bone meal, bull horn, calcium phosphate, pastureized chicken manure , diatmaceous earth, dolomite, feather meal, fulvic humic blend, kelp, gypsum, nutri-veg (a local blend), potasium sulfate, potassium magnesium sulfate, rock phosphate, peat(canadian), seafood compost, sulfur elemental, wallosonite, zeolite.

the soil base is 1 part native soil/loam, 1 part aged cow manure, 1 part canadian peat. then a few gallons of seafood compost is added. then perlite & rice hull for aeration. let it cook for a 8-10 days. flip it again. then start adding beneficals, and a gallon or so of rolled oats are turned into the top 4-6in layer only.

digestors & enzymes, barely straw, myco or rhizo benefical blends an sometimes a emr1 starter teas watered in

an off shoot on the watering temps and tea brewing if anyone's interested....you know what they say about opinions.

when i water with 52f water right from the spout into the beds, its a shock. and it takes half a day for the the soil temps to get back to 68f+. And indoor in the middle of winter it gets worse, its a small struggle to keep the rooms warm during lights off.(this winter i added soil warmer cords to each indoor bed)

Indoor i see my the soil temps drop on my trolmaster soil probe. I can graph it, an i can actually see a solid 10-15 degree drop in soil temps. U can see the temps plummet when watered everytime.

Outdoor i cut the teas in half with water and tea, so the drop isn't as drastic. An if i can, i pre fill my mobile brewer tank half way with water the day before to allow that tank to warm for 24hrs. An then the next day i top it off with the tea, then go water

Because of this realization, and benefits from microbes and nutrient teas, indoor i now brew tea 24/7. i water with tea 95% of the time.

After a watering I also try to leave atleast 5-10 gallons in the tea brewer, then i top off the tea brewer with well water. refresh the tea bags etc etc. I also put a small aquarium heater in the brewers.

Now when i come back the next day my water and tea is close to room temperature.



Prior I noticed the plants wont drink as much. I seen these trends and then picked up that it was probably from soil temps cooling after a watering.

If they arent drinking, they arent transpiring. if they arent transpiring correct or have slowed, they are not building or stacking like they should be. That means that all of these plant cycles that i can just barely grasp alll slow down. Quite a domino effect. 60-70 days to make the best product as efficient as possible. Healthy active plants are less troublesome too.
