Good to see you still doing your thing pipe!! I have always loved growing DC and DC hybrids here in the Midwest. I definitely can see the DC in those plants. I know I have pure DC seeds in my stash but doubt they will sprout as they are really old. I also might have some pure DC pollen that has been frozen for over 10 years. I will have to dig deep inside my freezer to see if I can find any. Hit the DM if you want to see if you can bring what I have back to life.

@pipeline I've being growing this years some crosses with DC and then some african sativa genethics. In my opinion, I don't agree with you in the explanation you comment about that indica traits of the crosses will help in fatigue, that is to say, when we haven't too much energy. Some experienced growers told me and then I've checked that are the sativa genethics which bring these stimulating effects in our body. Also, at the same time they help bringing good humor. On the other hand, indica will help us to calming down and throwing away anxiety and tachicardia.
In fact, a guy that grew vietchunk saw a big dominance of DC in the f2, in the narcotic effects, etc. Because it is not the appearence, it is the % of the cannabinoids and terpenes.
That is my experience and what I've learned this years and when I have a bad day and for example I have to clean the house, I choose a sativa or to go to a party. The indica calm better my pains and help me at night when I can't sleep.
Have a nice day!
I've mixed vietchunck with pakistan chitral kush and then It with sativa crosses.
This year I'm growing vc alone.

Sorry guys have been busy with work and cooking dinner and working on the plot. I fall asleep at the dinner table.

Will get a couple pics up in a few minutes.

Thanks Guyute! It would be for next season. I don't grow indoors. I prefer seed though so I can see the characteristics of the male.

Thanks charcofa, I don't have a lot of expericence with different strains, but what you explained is what I've heard and seen from limited experience.
Plants are coming out of it. After I watered Sunday we got 2.4 inches of rain between sunday night to monday night! We got a big wind gust and I couldn't get out there to see if I needed to check on the plants until wednesday. They were ok though thankfully. Just 1 leaning over from one of the couple small tree branches that fell. Some branches broke off the biggest plant when the tree limb fell so we have some tasters and it tastes just like the jar I'm on. I may be smoking the plant the seed came from. Its definitely along the sativa candy spice line, a hit or 2 and you want to wait. I like it that way.... Passin' the pipe. see if I can get these pics up for ya.

There used to be a poster named beancounter and he loved DC and did some DC crosses. He said DC was always dominant in the crosses. Then he made Cheesy Chunk which was UK Cheese x Deep Chunk. UK Cheese (Skunk #1 pheno) was always dominant in crosses. The DC didn't dominate the UK Cheese. He gave out seeds. I had 5 females out of 10 seeds. One was a short 4ft DC dominant plant with DC monkey ball buds (DC was called Monkey Balls). Three were 8ft Cheese dominant plants and 1 was a 10 ft Cheese dominant plant. The 10 ft plant was 2.75 lbs. The 3 8ft plants were 2.5, 2 and 1.5 lbs. The short one was 1 lb. I got 8 lbs of weed from 5 cornfield Cheesy Chunks.
I employ Indicas to get me going and do stuff. You have to fight off the immediate narcotic effect and then motivation comes.

Will get more shots of the yellowing soon. Plants are showing N deficiency because of lack of water I think. I need to do a better job on top dressing next year. They are responding well to the watering from what I saw wednesday. Heres a few shots from this week.

 

[pipeline]

I grew some of those! I think they got hit by animals or something and didn't make it from what I remember. Those yield pretty well. The DC helps the bud density!

Herb is a great motivator partially because it helps your cardiovascular system relax, opens up the blood vessels and lets it flow. Helps me get my work done, people always ask how I do it, and its the hemp. Every form you can get.

I guess my camera changed the photo size. Got it figured out. The lens has been stuck a couple times with a lens error. Seems to be working now, thank you God for Your grace!

Hungry and thirsty. Guess the bottoms are cleaned out now! Better airflow and less mold!

By the way Enerhealth Botanicals based in Colorado, US has the best CBD oil, I love the 1000 mg extract. Its a whole plant spagyric extraction, full spectrum plus. Its amazing, they say its unique and is the best extract on the market. I talked with them on the phone. They also have really good hulled hemp seed for cheap. Makes you healthy, strong, and smart!

Tall with lots of branches-- good yielder doing well!

 

[pipeline]

Going to have to mulch next year and top dress with some compost/ bat guano underneath that. Need to get something besides this dried chicken manure that burns and then runs out. Any recommendations?

 

[CARCHOFA]

You can throw some earthworm humus to mulch, even just now, it's eco and well balanced and nitrogen rich. Also will help a lot the diatomaceous earth, it is rich in many nutrients. It is made up of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It is a good fertilizer to be able to develop the plant in the best way. Pest control: it is a great insecticide and biocide, widely used to control pests in already affected crops. It is also used as a preventative treatment. Furthermore you can use now too because it is eco and organic so the plant will assimilate it really well.

Always got to open the Pipeline thread and WAIT a minute or 2 for the pics 2 load.

Nice green pics !

if I did that, the deer would eat my crops.

 

[pipeline]

Thanks for the information Carchofa! I didn't know diatomaceous earth could be used as fertilizer. I need to get lawn fertilizer anyway, so I think I'm going to get some compost and spread it around the plants. Getting rain so it would get worked in right away. Sweet. Got me motivated.

Hey St. Phatty thanks! Thats the plan, wall of green. Having the garden close in and form a canopy blends it in with the native foliage. I like walking through the garden, its always cool under the plants. We have lots of deer. There's a chain link fence around them with brush so the deer don't pass through the area. Also use liquid fence brand repellent in the spring, and then as needed.

Found a seed shell on the ground, so I guess a mouse climbed a plant and ate some seeds.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Yeah I didn't know you were still on this site. It's good to see you're still growing the real tree of life. Your plants look nice as all get out.

 

[pipeline]

Thanks #1cheesebuds! I've been busy with work and the plants. Its a great forum, I should spend more time here.

I put down some alfalfa meal 2-0-1 and composted cow manure .5-0.05-0.05 and I think I may need to get more alfalfa or kelp or something to boost N, I used about a half cup rate and you can go up to a cup. Trying to get N to the plants maximized this late in the season. Will water them in tomorrow and see how it does. Buds are growing well even though they're hungry! Got a few shots. Will post some up soon.

 

[pipeline]

Got the garden watered with 70-84 gallons, and light rains on the way... Should be fine with what was put down because there was a lot of composted manure and it was close to the analysis of the alfalfa which is more expensive and there is less material. Will be really clean herb I guess! Already flushed and its early September. Put a lot of water down, so it would get some nutrients into the soil.

 

[Guyute54]

Personally I think the biggest issue is the amount of sunlight. I have had many plants with the same soil outdoors throughout the years. The ones that thrive are in full sun. The ones that yellow out first are the ones that have the least sunlight.

IMO it’s because they don’t have to pull as much moisture. When they pull moisture they are also pulling the available nutrients also. IMO that’s why smart pots worked so good. Was always a need for the plant to pull from its root source which also always pulled from its available food source.

 

[pipeline]

Thanks for the insight. Thats correct, movement of nutrients with the water into the plant through the roots and moisture evaporating through theDstomata is called mass flow. Cannabis shoot growth has a high consumption rate, so if the roots can't keep up with it, the leaves go hungry. Means they need babied a little more in the shade to do well, just like turf grass. Will keep this in mind next year. Its easier to water with the half inch of compost since it helps the water soak in. Should have done that by July when the males are almost all out.

Going out to have a picnic at the garden and pick tomatoes and green beans, Have a relaxing Labor Day. Will see if I can get some good pics in the sun today. Herb flowers are at the 1-2 inch stage, so still moving along just fine. Resin is coming on now, and starting to show on the flower leaf/bracts and volatile resin terpenes are putting out the smells. Since I got Corona Virus 19 a couple years ago, I can't smell cannabis anymore. I can smell something good, but its not the same. Can taste just fine. I need to get some Deep Chunk seeds in to bring the terpene profile back to more indica. Hoping that will help, I may have lost some of the indica terpenes over the years when I chose sativa candy spice phenotype and went that way. So not sure whats going on. Strain is getting pretty acclimated now! Jah Jah bless you!

Shots from this weekend. The ones posted Friday were from wednesday and last weekend. Enjoy!

 

[pipeline]

The past couple weeks have been seeing evidence of seeds being chewed up. Found a bunch of empty calyxes, but they can't get them all. Finding the budworm caterpillars, thankfully they are easy to spot with the frass and the caterpillars are out there on a leaf waiting to be grabbed most of the time. Inspections pay off. Watering is paying off. Flowers are swelling on schedule looks like. Got a few shots to go through. Going to water every weekend as needed to keep working the N into the soil. Tons of roots at the surface are visible though, fibrous roots. So they will likely be grabbing nutrients from the compost almost immediately. Got some sun today!
