Cheers all. Yeah I reckon it's gonna boost in the netpot. I've been watering one to two times a day and don't mind even if it's three times per day now that I have a res. :yes:

Hey b00m, I got a perpetual moon gardening calendar!



The bad news is that I took my clones at pretty much the worst time, lol.

:tiphat:

lol Anti, well, keep in mind I'm a bit of a sceptic. I have followed it loosely ages ago and it didn't seem to not work. The lady at the organic store never pesters me to buy anything but she asked me out of the blue if I was into moon gardening, she is right into it, and then I remembered b00m's recommendation.

Basically there's an 11 day period each moon (moonth?) where this thing says it's good to plant above ground crops, and also to take cuttings, graftings etc. This month it runs from the 18th to the 28th. The 11 day good period is 2 days after the new moon. I'm not sure if we share the same moon cycle globally, probably not.

That's frikkin great b00m! :wahey:

No buds yet Ghostwolf, but coming soon! I think I may discard the leda uno plants, I'll see how the clone situation works out first.

Haven't forgotten the smoke report yet! Just been doing some, ahem, scientific analysis :good:

Yep that's right there is a fertile time and a barren time around the new to full moon each month, pretty sure the northern hemisphere peeps will have a different set of times/cycles as to what we have here in the southern hemisphere, summer here winter there etc. I will try to photograph the one I use and upload it, though I suspect it may not work.
This might help explain the different phases of the moon a bit better.

Edit:- Another moon planting site for aussies
Peace an Respect

Cool shit broheim! It lines up with what I was doing. I'd plant when the moon is getting bigger (waxing) and that seems to cover that period.

Smoke report for the Arcata Trainwreck x Princess Diesel (organic)

So I have 5 different plants of the same strain to compare here. Let's not get too complex, lol. They are very similar anyway so I'll basically describe my fave, #4 which was also the highest yielder at 8.8 grams (even though I described it as not much of a keeper in my early asessment!)

Left: #4, right: #5

I also like #4 because it has the easiest smell to describe - Passionfruit. But even that is not properly descriptive. I've never knowingly tried anything that was any kind of diesel but I don't sense much of it in these plants. From reading, I would suspect the Trainwreck was fairly dominant in the cross, and it did grow very 'wrecky.

These pics are all #4:


#4 also had the longest flush, along with #5, but #5 turned out to be the least nicest of the bunch. Luckily #5 was the one that had the scale insect on it and got disposed of. :yes:

The high is just fantastic! Or "highs" I should say because I only chop up a small amount of buds at a time and cycle through them. I haven't smoked the Pure for ages now, it's old news, haha. Despite my love of couchlock, I probably pulled these a little early, but it's definitely not too up, or too down for that matter.

Due to whatever, I'll only hang on to #4, and #1. #1 was the thickest, most compact indica style fat-ass nugz. Being labelled #1, it was also the first to break into flower and probably the quickest finisher, or close to. 'Ere 'tis mon:



Again only from reading, but #1 I suspect was more Princess Diesel dominant. It tasted a bit muddier but it had a very short flush. It smells very nice. Cherry/fruity/sweet sort of thang. The other two plants were variations of #4 and very nice.

Thanks again to the wonderful people of IC especially those that helped me out with such quality genetics! :groupwave: Once the clones are rooted most will be going to other growers :gday: For this grow coming up, I'd like to do one each of #1 and #4, but focus on having a big PK. Kind of got a scroggy feeling at the moment, who knows. Will have more lights this time. :dance013:

:tiphat:

Edit: upon further reflection, I just realised my shoulder hasn't been sore since starting on the TWPD too. :):yes: Cannabis is awesome. A real gift from the gods. Peace.

Awesome smoke report broski, can't wait to run the PD again definitely one of the best plants and smokes I've had the pleasure of growing. I suspect though your PK is going to blow everything else to the reeds.

I used to laugh at this moon business... now not so much.

but don't start telling me it's because of gravity! that line is bunk for sure.

more like it's a mystery and leave it at that.

B00m: Yeah so many people dig the PK, it's gonna be hard to beat :D I have to try fem seed making again, but it's gonna be tricky arranging everything. May only have the pollen of one plant.

Madlib, perhaps it structures the water ;)

I notice people get very strange around the full moon. Fights and such often seem to happen around there.

I decided - scrog for sure this run - better start preparing.

Gravity?? Pffft sounds like witches and warlocks myths to me, I'm sticking with the leader he knows whats what. All Hail the Leader
