My intro and bona fides...

[PakaloloFromPNW]

for a 30 yr cut, I'll be very interested to hear whether or not you think it lives up to the hype. I've gotten some mixed reviews from folk, some like her, some of whom kept her simply because of her age.. others let her go to make room for other things. I'm rather curious having not smoked it personally.

Good to see you around my grow friend. I'll give a smoke report when my lung finally clear up and I can sample her. It'll probably be a few weeks though. I haven't smoked anything in over a week because of this flu I'm going through. So I'll have to get back into form. Right now ditch weed may get me high.

I can say this about my last Blue Orca (her sister) that it is some of the best I have. The people who have tried both say TO is better. I've also been told that going to 14 weeks with TO turns her into the killer category.

Man sorry to see your water problem. Hope you didnt lose anything.

Haven't lost anything but I'm having to keep on top of possible PM issues.

nice thread.

I know im late..but I just wanted to say, to me, growing organic is about balance...embracing the earths natural expression. Although I have heard people grow faster or bigger or whatever they claim in hydro or soil-less; it will always be synthetic or processed, therefore lacking in true quality...and most notably life force.

We all know fresh vegetables taste better and actually are better for you than old vegetable. or frozen or canned. Organic soil is fresh, living, moving, self sustainable. Think about all the tiny details in a thriving organic soil and root system...I think it all delicately affects the outcome.

Im growing a bunch of satori and a few others...I popped an auto just to have a quick smoke since I have the space. I chopped it today...my first ever harvest...I quick dried some of the bud in the oven and smoked it in a bong...berry ryder is the strain...but most notably I felt a connection with the plants being in a way I havn't experienced before...

Just think about it. My observing it...watering it...we all know plants can "see" in their own way. I built a connection with this plant...it grew in the vibration of my home...I feel this all affects the complex cannabanoid configuration...its the plants way of expressing itself...react to its surroundings.

anyway, I have high hopes for the future of quantum plant science aha!

peace

I have very similar feelings about growing the herb. While I started this journal you are more than welcome to post whatever you like. You sound like you're passionate about doing what is right. Welcome.

How about a pheno hunt update?

3Elders

These 4 plants have a very consistent look about them. I was hoping to see some more sativa characteristic out of these seeds but time will tell.

Goblin Scepter

The one on the right looks a little stretchy to me. It could turn out to be male.

Konga

These took the longest to germinate so they are smaller than the other plants.

Old Goblin

Their mother was Goblin Queen and the one in the back looks like it might be male too.

Panama Red

These are from seeds I got and were not breed by me. Konga were also seeds I got and not breed by me. If either these or Konga have males I will collect the pollen but these two cultivars will be the only males I will allow to grow.

 

[PakaloloFromPNW]

Purple Star

These are the only seeds that all 6 germinated.

God those are healthy!

God those are healthy!

Thanks dude, it's all in the soil. I mix it up and plant them. Nature does the rest.

 

[hicksticky]

Very nice Pak! Awesome pheno hunting area, thanks for the tour.
Hope your health returns you back to normal.

 

[HatchBrew]

When're you flipping the pheno hunt to 12/12? They're looking great!

Humid as a hippo's taint in water here. Gotta to clean some PM off some of the veggin' plants. Yay milk!

I'm pleased with my pheno area and I'm getting better a little each day.

I use Serenade that is a bacillius subtilis culture that works similar to milk (lacto) to compete with the PM. PM is something you come to live with here in the PNW.

Hey you're not alone sir!

Just picked up some actinovate today. Going to use it for the first time.

Let me know what you think about it. Serenade is more to try to slow down the PM then destroy it. I think a sulfur burn is more effective but my plants are 4 weeks or more into flower and I'm not going to sulfur burn when they're that far along.

 

[HatchBrew]

Never sulfured burned before. Don't think anyone would appreciate the smell. Spraying tomorrow, will let you know how it goes.

I did it once in the cellar and got into so much trouble from the wife I never did it again. I bought a tent off craig's list for $25 and burn in the tent. I'm no longer in trouble. If the weather stays okay meaning no rain I'm going to burn when I get home tonight.

 

[HatchBrew]

I burn every night

 

[PakaloloFromPNW]

Sulfur burn that is. LOL

I've been sick the last 10 days and haven't burned any herb since January 29. I've got over 2 zips of The One sitting in a jar calling my name. Until my lungs finally clear up I'm doing a good job of resisting that siren's call.

You do edibles or tincture?

No, joints or I make IWE hash.
