Hello all. Used to be SpacedCWBY. Somehow my account got really screwed and I had to rejoin.
Anyhow. I've got an ok camera to work with now and am going to try and keep this journal up and running on a somewhat normal basis. Been a while since I kept a good one online.
Working with three different strains. G-Man which is a cross of Mandala's Ganesh and Shantibaba's Medicine Man. The pics of the air-layering in progress plant below is Gman 4 of 5. In the group shot of 6 below you'll see #2 at the top and #4 on the two lower left. The other two on the lower right and the tray of dixie cups is the second strain that I have been working with.
The second is a single seed from a Jillybean cola that was accidently his with the medman pollen that was being applied to the Ganesh. Jill's Surprise or JS is how you'll see it referred to.
The third strain isn't my work. It came from a batch of seeds that I was given by a friend. His uncle bred the seeds. There was a mix of three females that were hit with one male. The other two I didn't keep around as they didn't produce much. But the one that I did keep around I named Dig, cause I dig it. Really OG kushy and produces large buds that reak of fuel and sandalwood. Quite nice smoke with a very pleasing high. It's in the large black container in the pics below - the one that looks like it just had a hair cut. Took about 25 clones from it yesterday and that's what you'll see in the ez cloner below. In the lower left of the group shot you'll see 6 clones in 3 collars. Just wanted to cram a few GMan4's in there.
I have the mother plants that produced JS and Gman#2 in flower right now along with Gman #5 and Gman #3. Neither of which wanted to root clones well. They ended up being very sativa in their structure. Complete opposite of 4 and 2 which are much more indica in structure. None of them seem to have a lot of stretch in flower. Maybe 25%. I left 3 and 5 in smaller 12" pots so they didn't outgrow my tent. JS and #2 are both in 20" pots, thinking a little more than 5 gallons? The tent is a 5x5x7. Nothing special. Just a 1000w cool tube and a fan in with them. Mostly organic. Use a 50/50 mix of sunshine #4 and a michigan product called DairyDoo. Great stuff. Full of lovely organic stuff and lots of organic additives. Use a few of GO's products and Tiger Bloom. I cringe at the thought of what the chelation salts are doing to my little myco's, but the last time I relied on a completely organic bloom fert I ended up with a disappointing yield. Oh, and I also amend the mix with Doctor Earth powders when I transplant. Flowering and veg ferts. Seems to keep them going well all through veg with minimal "soup" feeding. The Gman 4 and 2 both seem to need a little extra nitrogen from time to time but the JS and DIG are both extremely finicky eaters. They are also my healthiest two plants.
Working on getting a perpetual garden going with smaller plants in 1 gal pots. A sea of green if you will. So those little dixie cuppers will be moving shortly. I just need to get my other small tent setup with another light.
Will post up flowering pics shortly after the next watering. The cam on my phone sucks under the HPS.
