what's up, mate! hey maybe i missed something, but did you forget the dolomite?
round 3 looking beautiful. i love the fact that your ac blows directly into the room... i'm thinking i may have to pull something off similar, with these damn heat waves.
btw, we better start breeding plants resistant to heat - global warming is a bitch!
Even though round 2 seemed to be a chore, it still turned out a nice crop. But round 3 looks really exciting, I can't to see it in full swing. I really like that Scroged outdoor patch, the scrog really worked well in the full sunlight, and you are correct, the hours are just about to get shorter and flowering should begin real soon. That will also be really nice to watch. Best of luck.
Here are some shots of the erkle. Kinda a shitty nug to use as an example sorry. I already went through the p i got yesterday and this was the only piece i had left.
The flavor is all there for sure. Yummy sweet candy aroma on the nug and smoke when it hits your palate.
Dr. Dog: hey bro.. good to hear you not leaving us. hehe.. i figured it was coz your post count in your huge thread, but i had to ask to make sure. you are an asset to Overgrow my friend. glad you sticking around to show us your skills.
thanx for the rep. nope nothing really eating my plants outside, which really im quite happy about obviously, but also suprised.
where they are, i kinda figured there would be alot of bugs and bitey things. but it turns out, they only like biting me when i got out to visit!
damn american bugs must like my foreign blood! lol.
take care man.
TML: good to see ya mate. groovy new avvy by the way. hehe..hope the baby life is going well for ya man...

yup, im pretty interested in the outdoor myself! G13D is specially one sexy girl.
Scrog SG looks good too of course. it would seem i was right in thinking SG would have made a good SCROG strain! heheh
Y: yeah bro, the sun we been having latly has blown all my girls up outside, along with my carrots, tomatoes, cumcumbers, and watermelons!
yum.
yeah i guess it would be hard to think of it being a bed.. lol. i see it everyday, and trust me bro, it stil very much looks like a bunkbed. lol
i love it though.... my pride and joy for sure.
always welcome to pimp around in my thread bro...
btw, im gonna PM ya in a sec...
D-rock: yeah bro.. G13D ive seen can really produce. the sad part is shes a hermie... just hope mother nature might keep that in check a little better... time will tell. shes still fire... the one i have inside smells so so sour! i love it.... and hate it all in the same breathe. lol.
thanx for poppin in, D.
Khaleel: trust it be you to see no Dolo-lime in the pic. lol

trust me, its in there...
thanx for the props brother man...
Shitake: im somewhat worried.... exactly how many times have you actually said "nice melons, MAN!"??? lol.
outdoor day times should be changing here about the 11-14th.. so yup.. while they may all be hermies to one degree or another, they certainly look beautiful right now, i enjoy just spending time with them. and i know they will fill my jars with something decent thats for sure! looking forward to it for sure!
new round is here man... we under way! will go day 1 flower next friday i think!
DonChron: new faces still coming in! excellent. nice to see ya, i love Urkle too brother! this bed will soon be filled with plenty of orginal purple urkle!
Smokin: heya mate. good to see ya..
nailed it all on the head man... hehe...
its all hopefully happening this round! inside and out
Everyone: just got done putting the remaining girls into 3 gal bags, and then taking 22 clones... is it still too early to mention round 4? lol...
the bed is 3 plants shy of capacity. and i must say, its a beautiful sight to me!
Testers: i will soon be taking my own smoke report of NFU, so you will soon know what questions im asking in the report.
im hoping to be able to get to the post office tomorrow to send out the packages boys. if i dont make it tomorrow, monday for sure.
looking forward to getting some opinions on her.
wish i coulda given you guys (alot) more.... maybe next time aye?
you testers are in for a treat... jay's purple urkle is some of the best bud ever. period. (wouldn't talk it up if i didn't know it was true)
thanks for maintaining such a great thread brother.
btw i picked up some guano to see if i can boost the budding a bit. that PU1 is doing stellar as it is. i'll try to get a pic up tomorrow, but the hairs are longer and the buds bigger than the grapefruit x trainwreck switched at the same time. so fucking excited to see her in full bloom! hahaha
Khaleel: ahhh too kind mate
good to hear on those good lookers man! i cant wait to see what happens! i really cant. you know im wishing ya the best.
Zeus: good to see ya mate
thanx alot man! im loving the sight, and sitting here typing out this thing, and i just keep looking over at the full bed... near brings a tear to my eye. lol
Everyone: ok.. ive done my report on the NFU folks.
but before i post it, i understand not everyone might not know what a NFU is, or let alone where it came from. so i wanted to give a quick NFU lesson.... a history lesson if you will!...
-- THE HISTORY OF NFU --
You take a 16 bucket DWC filled with Purple Urkles - grown em 10 weeks - and harvest.
Over 2 years of this, the occasional good seed was found.
i really liked the smoke, so i started keeping any viable seeds i found.
Round 1 in the bunkbed actually started with the popping of one of these Urkle seeds. funny thing is, back then i didnt know Purple Urkle could ONLY be acquired through clone form. which yes, i have, and have had for many years. shes my #1 girl. i heart Urkle.
That solo germ was the start of the life of what we have come to know as NFU. or "nine fingered urkle" to some.
a "version" of purple urkle no-one else has.
In the first stages of her life, i had the feeling she was a boy and was very nearly to the point of cutting it down.. but then one morning i was checking the bed and found many hairs all over her.
i was stoaked.
The name NFU came from this first NFU having 9 fingers all over her. it wasnt just one random 9 finger fan. it was fan leaves, all the way into the bud. ive never seen that before on any Purple urkle before.
i knew i had something different.
At about week 5, she started smelling "different". The first thing that came to mind was strawberrys. i was reminded of DP's Strawberry Cough when i had grown her back in the day.
At week 6 she started purpling up really nice on the leaves. im sure the 30 degree winter days were helping the purple come through too.
But at week 7, things started going downhill. she wasnt in the right soil, and it was showing. the soil she was in was suffocating her. measures had to be taken, and she was cut down, and smoked.
the first NFU - i really really liked.
Im glad i cloned her... but....
its hard to pin point the taste and flavours when really its only me smoking it!
hence, the testers. so here at the end of round 2, i needed experiance tokers opinions on this girl!
Khaleel, Y, and shitake, be honest and brutal. i hope yas enjoy the testers package when they arrive, but remember this is a test strain. dont expect it to be the killer killer, and just be honest...
there are possibly 8 more NFU growing in round 3, and my boy Blazeoneup has a large NFU in his possesion too. so this strain isnt gonna dissapear too soon.
but round 4 is trying to lean original urkle side - for obvious reason.
its fucking quality killer.
i give NFU a Jay ranking of a 7 and a half out of 10.
she needs to be stabilized though, as she has the occasional seed.
breeders may be able to tell me if this NFU strain was backcrossed with Orignal Urkle, could it maybe take out small hermie tendencies?
but thats the life of the NFU....
i look forward to reading the testers reports... and then its all round 3 and outdoor baybe!
wish i got a tester. lol waitin on those reports homies. roll it up light it up smoke it up inhale........exhale....... it smells like cypress hill concert inhere. i dont rent to those kind of people. lol
Rate and explain The Smells when you are breaking it up: strawberrys/fruity!
rate the smell: [ 8 ]
Strong, or weak smell: 1-10 [ 8 ] can smell it across the room as soon as i open the jar. 2: TASTE:
First hit comments: fruity/sweet_yumTaste: 1-10 [ 7 ]
Does it burn well? 1-10 [ 8 ]
Is it Smooth 1-10 [ 5 ]
Lung expansion with a good hit? 1-10 [ 8 ] makes me cough everytime, and im USED to it! hehe..
3: STONE:
What are you feeling?: good buzz for legs/arthritis. IE: medicinal smokers - as the joint burned it lost flavour and becomes quite harsh though, stratching the back of your throat.
i had noticed this early when i started smoking her, and the jar curing has helped toned this down though.. the Joint i smoked for this report was actually tasting better than all the others i have smoked.
heres hoping my testers get some nice cured buds. (each tester is getting a main NFU cola dried - they cure up the best.)
Head high? 1-10 [ 5 ] heavy eye balls though.Body high? 1-10 [ 7 ]
Potency: 1-10 [ 7 ]
Hit you fast? Or creeper weed?: a quick hitting stone
Would this be best as a morning/afternoon/night smoke?:
late afternoon. i personally like it before dinner to get that appetite up, also it helps me sleep, so a bong or three before bed has been treating me well too. good medicinal buzz for me personally. almost makes me wanna keep it, but Original Purple Urkle does the same job - but tastes better. heheh
How high are you? 1-10 [ 6ft 4............... oh i mean... er.. 7 ]
How long did the high last?: 1hour 30mins or so - could have been a longer stone, but this could just be me as im a pretty heavy smoker, often smoking a joint/couple bowls every hour or so, so i do have a high tolerance. im really looking forward to seeing what my testers say here.
All testers are also growers, so:
Is this a strain you would want to grow? 1-10 [ ummm...... lol ]
Final comments: While this is better than the usual bunk around here, its not the killer strain her sister is, and she is far from being anything other than just a good smoke.
Im not too sure where the late harsness comes from, but that certainly is a down point for me.
Original urkle is smoooth as butter going down, and all you taste is flavour. not the smoke.
the taste of the first few hits in the joint is great, but it doesnt last.
the joint loses flavour as she gets down to roach size.
the purple on the leafs started early, and looked promising, but the color stopped at the leafs and didnt carry onto the bud. sure, it looks badass, but im not trying to grow pretty fan leaves. lol.
All in all, i did enjoy having a strain noone else has, and its been fun. but i dont think i will keep her around too much longer though.
im not looking for average smoke. im looking for high quality keepers.
Final opinion of this Pheno of Purple Urkle?: 1-10 [ a solid 7 - 7 and half overall. ]
Nice honest report! Sorry she wasnt as good as you expected but it sounds like some decent meds nonetheless. Great job.... lookin forward to the next bunk of funk.
That's a bummer that the NFU is a sub par smoke. It had a great appeal, a unique plant with a nice sweetness. Maybe there is another method of growing her that would be more fruitful. Who knows, it would be cool to see you actually work on her. Either way I am sure you will do what is necessary with her.
thanx trich. she was slightly dissapointing, but then again im sure im my own worst critic too.
thats just more reasoning behind wanting multiple smoke testers... get a better perspective.
always good to have ya stop in mate.
Smokin: maybe not sub par. shes on par i think, but compared to the Elite of the Purple Urkle, she just cant compare.
Point being, i smoke alot for personal.
The more i grow, the more i get to keep.
To this DAY, every Purple Urkle grow ive run, ive never got to smoke the killer tops.
if i had a Bunkbed FULL of only Purple urkle.... well now... now i get to keep all the tops i want. lol.
i will get to work with NFU a few more runs though, and as i mentioned, i gave one of the girls to Blazeoneup, so im obviously really looking forward to seeing what he might do with her!
who knows though - but you will see her Round 3, and hopefully blaze will keep me up to date with pics of his big NFU.
take care Smokin'...
MMMM that RAW joint looks bombin, wheres all that purple hiding...on the inside???? Sweet job on that pheno do you just pop seeds whenever and try out new phenotypes or what??? Keep it up!
