SWC/TRON 2009 Summer Grow...

SWC/TRON 2009 Summer Grow...

Yeah, its that time of year again when its all strictly SWC/TRON grows...much less hassles and needs less attentions b/c of my thing-a-majig...all i do is just sit back and enjoy my summers with some kickass smoke & shrooms.

Havent grown shrooms in about a year, dont need to. these bags are for me personals....Its very very hard to find some very potent shrooms. these are the kind of shrooms i first ate when i was a teen at a campout...and it took all these years to finally grow some very potent shrooms. I've searched for 30 yrs. for the same potent shrooms b/c shrooms would only be available just once every few years, no big demand on it. But now there is a big demand, now that the homies in the southside hood have tried them..they're always asking me for some. I tell them that it only comes around once or twice a year, usually during Holloween and the holidayz. well enough of the shroom talk here's some tron pix..Hope this helps.



"Vietnam Thunder Fuck" left and back by popular demand "Ms. O'Wreck" right




"Domina 13" and turkey bag...ha ha it works folks....

Just got back in the 312 today!

Well the count is in and I got more then expected. They have been curing now for about a month and the dry weight is almost 10 oz's which is kind of astonishing (some very dense buds). I have sampled them all and thank god I have some new weed as that white rhino was killing me. For me the super girls are just a great all around high (not to stoney, feel great kind of buzz, not stupid weed). The WW is way to strong (sit on couch and think about stupid things, and forget everything); the C4 is kind of a trippy high (run around and get nothing done); the White ice does not taste all that great right now and has a very weird type of high (want to eat lots of food, and babble). I'm closing shop for the summer because I have way to much weed right now, and with it about to get hot, it's too much of a hassle. Plus the wife about had a fit this last grow due to the smell. I really need to go back to low odor strains.
Pace out all and have a great memorial weekend.

good news all!

my sd x og f3 seed run appears to have been a smashin success...

IDo: I'm not doing too well with them but this is my first time, I'm learning.

PC: Trons are looking good. I like how you're automating your grows. How long can you go in between checkups?

ThaMag: Welcome back to the city, we've been having good weather lately...

Greengold: "I'm closing shop for the summer because I have way to much weed right now". Wish I had that problem.

Dontstep: Let's see those beautiful, dark seeds...

Been having res issues so I did a quick switchup to a soil grow, as organic as possible.
Soil mix is (approx): 25% reused MG soil, 50% mushroom compost/manure compost/peat, and 25% perlite/vermiculite. Amended with garden lime, blood meal, bone meal, earthworm castings.
These are 3 gallon pots.

Transplanted my NYCD and Flo clones from the tubs into the soil. They're in a bit of a transplant shock but they should pull through. I'm keeping the 400's a good 2-3 feet away, to not stress them. Also, temps have been good, under 80.

The five big ones are the SDOGs I've been vegging out. They were severely root bound so they should enjoy the roomier conditions. I cracked 6 seeds, all 6 germed, I lost one because it was a runt and I took a clone from it (the clone didnt make it). What if that one turned out to be the keeper? Oh well, I think I'll still find some decent phenos with the five I have left. Maybe I'll get some pollen...

Great minds must think alike:

This is my first attempt at a pf tek shroom grow. I dont think it's going so good. On a brighter side, I think the clear slime is back in my bubble tubs. Yes, that was sarcasm.
Might be moving to organic soil in 3 gallon pots, no perpetual, veg for a month and flower for two. Advantages: better taste, smell. Also confers upon me greater ability to do new seed runs. Can probably do a seed run with every cycle. I owe a couple icmaggers a seed run or two...

It's my first time w/ the pf tek, too. I thought I was so smart using an electric blanket, a digital thermometer, and a cardboard box as an incubator. Great minds, sir.

This spring I made the switch from blue chemical soup fertilizer, to an all organic setup with 3 gal pots for the same advantages you listed.

Crazy how midwesterners go insane once the sun starts to come out again.

Summer of 2009 has begun....

it depends bro...O'wreck on left just went 12/12 this weekend. I wont have to check it for at least 1 or 2 weeks...Vietnam T-Fuck is on its 3rd. week of 12/12, i dont have to worry about the strectching anymore I just have to make sure theres water in the res. i check about once every 10 ten days b/c they do use up more during 12/12...Hope this helps.

^^^^^here's another experiment going on at PC's Vapir Cafe deck...do u know what it is???

Nice Dog. I have a 1 yr old 90lb blue nose.

I take my pits to the American Dog Breeders Association Conformation Shows..This female came in at 3rd. place in 2007...in 2008 she came in 1st. place saturday and 2nd. place sunday. She lost to the dog that came in 2nd. place the day before. u know what i mean..the dog that came in on 2nd. place sat. won 1st. place sunday...different judges both days...Hope this helps.



PC's Vapir Cafe is pit friendly. "Ms. Maybelline" does have a reserve bean bag.... only pure pit bulls are allowed....

 

[luaith]

nice camo scheme you have going on there..

 

[ThaMagnificent]

So I've heard the Chicago central post office is a bit tighter with security is this a) true? and b) is it only international or also domestic?

 

[dawghead99]

just popped some of Phils

Hawaiian punch,

and black shark,

sorry phil, its been months, but you know how growing goes....

 

[Bababooey]

PC: Maybelline is a nice looking bull terrier, congrats on placing. How many entrants were in her category?
I didnt even see the mj plants at first; i was focused on that ornamental sculpture, thought it was some sort of outdoor hydro system, lol. I use MG dry ferts on my mother plants, and it turns the water blue like that..

ThaMag: Yeah, some maggers have lost a pack or two of seeds to Chicago customs. I think it's only international, but I can't be sure.

Made some cannabutter recently: about 1.5 ounces of NYCD buds and 3 pounds of butter.

 

[PhilCuisine]

Pure Corvino Dogs bro.....

Babs my dogs are not bull terriers thats a another breed bro...mine are game bred American Pit Bull Terriers. 22 dogs in her class. here's my pride and joy and number one stud dog. "Red Tabasco" aka "Tabasco Kid".



^^^a Pure Corvino dog and also an Old Family Red Nose strain.



If u take a close look at the bottom tier of the fountain u will see 2 cuttings of Schroms in there...dont know if it will work due to the chilly nites we've been having but hey its worth a try...set and forget it....

PS, i put food colorings in all my water fountains in my summer and permanent homes...clear water makes fountains look dull IMHO. I find that blue and green are very cool water colors... red can look like blood & yellow looks way too much like piss.

almost forgot Babs incoming.....Hope this helps.

 

[lemonskunk420]

Looking good guys,phil hows the high on the schrom?

 

[Mr.Hades]

[labtec]

Hey guys just wanted to show everyone my midwest grow. She's 15 days into flowering here.

 

[lemonskunk420]

Thanks for the info phil.

 

[Bababooey]

PC: Damn, Tabasco Kid has a HUGE head. And a big mouth full of teeth too. Are his eyes golden?

Lemon: http://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=107207&highlight=schrom
That's a smoke report on a tester that PC gave me. Good weed. Dense buds. A little kept me high for a long time.

Hades: U-Dub in the house! Don't tell me you're a Badger fan...

Lab: Nice even scrog u got going. Are those 4 3-gallon soil pots under that screen? Looks like you're really maximizing your space...

A quarter of the cannabutter I made. Please excuse what looks like bits of shit stuck to it. I didnt strain the vegetable matter from the butter this time, partly because even when i strain it there's a bit of green stuff left, partly because i make a mess when i dont have a second pair of hands, partly because i wanted to see if it'd be more potent.
It definitely made the resulting cookies more green but i dont think it affected the taste too much. The texture was unaffected, but alas the potency was as well.

 

[labtec]

Thanks Bababooey. Actually I have two pots of unknown sizes. They were giving to me by a friend for my outdoor garden, but they found a better use inside.hehe
