Project EDEN - the COCO-COOP

[bonecarver_OG]

lol... this carbon filter is half as heavy at least compared to the last one... maybe because this is in aluminium.. hm

the tube was a bit short but got it all up nicelly in the end hope its going to be enough.. the one i used to have - felt more genuin hehehe

i set extraction speed on just a bit below max - just before it starts to make the anoying noice - going to fine tune it during the coming days. want to make sure i got MAX extraction in relation to acceptable noise

i have "muffled" the air exit - this might be why it doesnt make so much noise this time luckilly in the future i wont worry about these things

peace all

well, - its now been about 24 hours since i aplied the products against insects - i made an other check of the coco in the pots.

i have seen a few bugs.. hehe but not many at all i will spray again today with Bloom Concentrated .. 3 seconds should kill any insect - from flees, flies, wasps, beetles to quite almost anything... AND its ALL natural Pyrethum based.. but quite concentrated indeed! i like this brand.. its WAY more effective than most.. jsut reading the ingredients - show why - a mix of 3 different pyrethum derivates in concentracions HIGHER than any other spray can i saw. they all have the same ingredients more or less..

the misting continues tonight i will got balistic with it hehe

the good part with this one is i can use it all the way thru flowering i wont ever aim at the buds - just the pot tops and the corners - cracks etc.. anyway - pyrethums break down very quick in light. but i dont like idea of spraying anything on the buds. not even neem really..

this weekend is goiing to be buzy - got to transplant the 53 (one died) clones to small coco pots - i will look for 0,5 liter containers that are cheap to use.

also going to take a new round of clones - not many just about 10 or so from the moms.. better do it now while i got some time off - and i can be misting them i might get use for them later this summer..

also going to add some PK in a few days.. we are allready at day 14 of flowering - so its getting time now the plants have clearly entered flowering - at least most of them..

the fun part is starting

i hope the last few who are not flowering will soon show some hairs

peace all

built a veg cabinet for the clones. its gonna have 3 x 56 W to start with.. its enough for a while. im hoping to be able to have them big enoough for delivery in 2 weeks..

now its time for transplanting the clones...

i have decided also to keep a cascadia male..

peace!

 

[bonecarver_OG]

finally finished the transplants..

also stashed the future moms in there with the clones - since there is space







the astro fog and the SSH x PTK bushes are getting really nicelly big







LDS female the best looking one.. there is still 3 LDS that arent showing sex yet.. they are building up like females - so they should be





a bunch of cascadias





ssh x ptk clones and some dc hybrids sticking in their leafes...






SSH x PTK bush in the front.. behind there is some astrofog clones






one JD and two cascadias standing together with a tall mozambiquean the mozambiquean is still in a 1 liter pot





one more nice JD





rox and cheese trainwreck in the back next to the earlier JD






in a few days, in the next watering, i will give a dose more of trichoderma to all the flowering plants. at the same time i will give a small dose of PK. 0,5-1ml/L - untill in 2 weeks time when im going to put the PK up to 2,5 - and then i will go doubling it every week and max it out at week 7.

finally it shows the one small retarded DC i have is a girl.. i dont expect it to give more than one tiny nug - so i thought of using it to make some seeds - atleast for now..

i thought dc x cascadia male .. hm didnt some one else have the same idea allready?

well the cascadia male is definetly going to hit something.. lets see what later most likelly the best looking cascadia - and also a SSH x PTK, the rest i will think about untill later hope the cascadia male is as resinous as it is smelly!

keeping the cascadia male adds some more posibilities to do something funny

peace all

Lots of hard work, bonecarver, and it's paying off. Amazing garden you have there. Can't wait to see it in flower!

 

[bonecarver_OG]

me neither..
i hope to get a lot of nice photo oportunities!

 

[bonecarver_OG]

ive been thinking about what to do with the males

got a whole bunch of interesting ideas to try - but the most interesting is to cross the PTK male to the mozambique. just as an excerzise. im going to keep pollen from the male and later cross the most intersting females (ill look for 2 phenos) mozambique/PTK to the PTK again. and next generacion start looking into trying to have some serious breeding excersizes. ill have time. lots..

still im wondering if i shouldnt get a more potent true breeding sativa for my experiments. i will think about it more. but the PTK and mozambiue thing could be good learning excersize for the next more interseting projects.

i will use all males i find intersting - so i will make a few crosses for fun. also there will be an other fun project on the side - i might go further into later some day.. when i have thought it thru properly.

peace all

Damn man you must feel all worn out today lol!
Why dont you cross the ptk to the dc girl, that should be interesting not?
I just heard how amazed vend was of the ptk high, coming from him it must be good lol!

 

[bonecarver_OG]

my very good friend raco has allready done PTK x DC - with a dc male and i got seeds of it seems maybe intersting to do a reversed version with the dc female..

the dc female is extremelly small - i will most likelly only be able to polinate it with one male. lets see if it grows more id like to use it with more than one male hehe gang bang the poor thing hehe

but the PTK definetly is going to hit the mozambique - maybe also the DC - the SSH x PTK, and i got a few more i thought of - but the rest of the crosses should be more un stable. id like to cross the buddularballs x destroyer with the male PTK too.

but then again i thought this far about 4-5 different crosses with each male. i will definelty not do all of them - its not realistic since i wont have time to smoke from all the seed picking hehe

but the idea is good - and i allready thought of it.

the interestign part is to see what the PTK male (stable as hell) does with the SSH x PTK - if i can get a version even more indica dominant - itd be fun to see how it gets

peace mate - and thanx for the input

roflmao , just spat all over my screen when i read that , cheers for the laugh mate !

grow is looking amazing , and great to hear your winning the battle with the gnats .

peeeees.

 

[bonecarver_OG]

hehe

LOL bone, oh yer so mean !!!
who is growing out the PTK x DC????????

 

[bonecarver_OG]

i will - next winter i bet raco made more though - but i dont know who is growing the rest.

 

[bonecarver_OG]

i had to cut 2 MOZAMBIQUEANS because they turned out hermie. I have left 2.. i hope they dont turn out hermie too.

peace

 

[bonecarver_OG]

the herming of the mozambique screwed my idea of practising breeding with two landraces. i was going to make a few crooses etc for fun - and the f2's i can - but i really felt like taking an indepth dive into learning about the mendelian basics.

Well.. guess it has to wait to an other time.

the way i work is i really want to learn things indepth as much as possible - and since i will have space to do larger plantings of seeds later (and on top build a deasevt sized greenhouse) the space wont be a problem.

rather the problem will be to decide on what to work on. Later next winter i will plant the rest of my SSH x PTK and look for a male - and start looking into making F2's, stabilizing etc of them. i think for the moment - that will be what i will concentrate on. seems fun - atleast to me.


the males:
the truth is the original PTK male is turning into a quite a nice male - but it seems to be very early flowering - a trait - that might be interesting? its quite resinous and smelly with a nice pine/skunky smell to it.

the Cascadia male is turning out very sticky this far - and the MOST smelliest plant i have ever come a cross in vegging. i dont know if u paid atencion but - i have been keeping an eye on it since the beginning because of the remarcable smell of it. its VERY skunky.

the LDS (LSD#4 x DC) male i kept is very short - got a very robust structure - and good branching. this one is also one of the plants i have been looking a bit more at since the beginning, the seedling made kind of a looping - but later started to grow out of it.

the 2 X18 x DC males are going very nicelly - but one of them is starting tostick out a bit from the other. its the musty/skunky one - its got a lot of vigor and the structure is awesome. im thinking of getting rid of the other male of X18 x DC to make things easier i dont need to make it more complicated. i think i have enough of a choise allready. but i will wait a few more weeks before i cut anything - and im still considering to save the pollen of the cut male in the freezer... u never know

together with the flowering males are 3 unsexed plants of X18 x DC that still after 2 weeks havent started flowering... i have a funny side project for them - the thing is my flowering room is full anyway - and the plants are 2 in some pots hehe so i will just leave them in there.. since there is no bad genetics in there - there could turn out some interesting mixes of seeds in those buds. what to do with those seeds? well.. lets say i got a very close friend in B.C who wants to grow out doors he wants lots of seeds to be able to do a wild guerilla grow. i hope to have the seeds ready for him in may/june. also the second factor is i want to see how females gets under fluoros - since im flowering the males under fluoros also.

well the crosses i thought might be interesting to do as an excersize or for fun:

first:

our favorite SSH x PTK:
im going to hit a few buds of her with one of each male. the most interesting will be the results of the PTK and the X18/DC. first the PTK for being a back-cross i guess in the parental line (i dont know about back crossing too much yet) and we can get an more PTK version of the SSH x PTK - later we plan to get a few packs of SSH and cross it to it again in some way.. but we are far from getting there yet. the X18/DC might be a more funny cross to choose a indica heavy mom from.. thats why i think i got to try both. the LDS x (SSHxPTK) will be mostly for fun - the outcome should get very varied but could get some very potent phenos in there. the cascadia smelly male just got to hit our SSHxPTK jsut to see if the smell will get even more toxic than now.. also it might be an interesting variety in the outcome for a mom

Astrofog will get hit by the 2 indicas, X18 x DC and the PTK - to see if any of the outcome will have the JUST INCREDIBLE pineapple perfume of this cross but the density of the indicas but with a sativaish high from the very clear and energetic Astrofog.

Also i want to cross the Rox i got with something - just for fun i thought PTK x Rox. thats 2 very dense indicas - not related at all - should be funny to see..

the cheese x trainwreck is aparantly very good smoke - so it might be interesting to cross that too - to try to keep the genetics in some way. i thought X18xDC or the PTK or both..

budular balls - same as above -

now i got one tiny DC.. and after some hard thinking i decided to use it - and let the X18xDC or PTK to hit it or maybe even the cascadia smelly male. - but only one of them - the most interesting one. im open for sugestions on this one.

one or two cascadia females will get hit with a cascadia male to make f2's, and also the LDS female will get hit by the LDS male for same purpose.

i dont have any females to select a mother to make F2's of the X18 x DC and noe more seeds - so the Bone nr 19 wil lget used for breeding purposes - i hope RACO will make more of these - since they are really beatyfull plants

the LP, SG and lovepotion might recieve some pollen too - same with the Bogglegum.

also i thought of using the nicest Johny deep female - and hit it with either the X18xDC or the PTK

I might reduce the plans - depending on time etc - but this far i think its possible.

im a bit bummed with the mozambiqueans beeing full-on hermies. makes me feel really scetchy of keeping the rest with the girls - since it might mess up the plan of the learning of breeding. i want to keep the grow as clean as possible - and the mozambiqueans SWAPPED sex 2 weeks into flowering -and thats very scary - if i wouldnt have thought of showing the mozambiquens for my grow mate - i might not have seen it in time at all. the pollen sacks were just about to open. scary. i seriously think i should leave the landrace sativas maybe for out-door growing? or a solo run when i can pay more atencion to them.

for the moment it looks like the budular balls x destroyer and the cheese x trainwreck will be the select new sativa heavy hybrids for this grow. even my Rox - looks very much sativa-ish -even for beeing mostly indica.

well.. i think thats it for now.

peace all

DAMN!

my almost new sylvania 600W bulb gave up... after only 3 months of use... and I havent even used it more than for flowering!! im perplexed! i got my old bulb (thats about 6 years old and works FINE!!) lucky i saved that as an extra back-up bulb!

whats up with the quality controll nowadays!!

i hate unforseen expenses i got to go to the growshop again..

upset

bone

 

[filimagno]

nowdays i switch mine too...i'll try philips and osram...even if sylvania had work as ever as well...i'm sorry for ur double trouble a.k.a. ball's breaking

keep it up man

 

[bonecarver_OG]

ill see what bulb i get in the shop today - but in the future it seems worth going for something a bit more expensive.

definetly

 

[bonecarver_OG]

im going to get a free bulb for the one that was fucked

bought an other one now - and in a few days i will go swap the one thats bad - and use that one as a back up
