SOL Blockhead Q's

[SweetIndica]

Hi, i just ordered a pack of blockhead from GSA. I have been reading some thing about this strain for awhile, and it looks awesome. I just have a few questions:

What are the good phenos to look for? I want a pheno that yields good, but also has good potency.

I was planning on using LST, but does this strain work good with lst? Or should i let her just grow regularly? Or should i top them? I will be using a 1000w hps throughout the grow.

Is there anything i need to know? like if they are picky with nutrients or anything like that?


Thanks, SweetIndica

I've done plenty of searching. I've seen people use lst, scrog, topping, etc. on blockheads..i want to know which method is the best for blockhead.

As far as the best pheno, i've seen mixed answers also. Some people say they like the big yielding heavy indicas, some like the blueberryish phenos, some people like the GF phenos. I'm saying i want a pheno that has a good yield with dense trich covered buds. I want to know which pheno i'd look for to get that

Look for the phenoes that satisfy you the most..

Take cuts of all the females before flowering.

Whichever one you liked the best... keep that cut and mom her up.

Look for the Project 19 sativa pheno.. from what I hear that's what makes the Blockhead so special...

Top a few, let some go untopped etc. What works for someone else in their op may work differently in yours.

Clone clone clone... You can keep the best one around..

yup yup and yup...

some BH phenos respond to topping better than others, and pretty much all phenos are pretty damn good. it'll come down to your personal tastes more than anything.

talk to yukon. he's the official president of the blockhead fanclub. he can tell you all you need to know.

 

[SweetIndica]

Well, i'm assuming since i want dense buds with a good yield that i would go with the most indica pheno? Is this a bad choice? Most of the indica phenos i've seen of BH look very frosty and dense. Could someone tell me how good the potency, high, and taste are on the really indica phenos compared to the mixed and sativa phenos?

thanks "thordee"...your gonna get sum props from me for that...even tho I dont know half of what FJ knows....but I may be the biggest fan.

-Topping BH wont be necessary (but thats your own call)

-scrog is not necessary

-LST works good...but again not necessary

BH is a badass in a SOG tho...stays short and pretty consistant....if u get a plant over 3 feet and untrained I'd be surprised.

look for a SPG pheno..or a "blue pheno" like this one...or anything more sativa influenced...be careful bro...BH is a knockout, and jaks up your head...youve been warned.....if u get into something close to the P19 (mystery african sativa) then your def. on for a ride.

here is a nice cola shot if u havent seen it.

 

[Guest]

BH has a high that is VERY sativa wether u are smoking, sat. or ind. pheno....it seriously messes your head....I dont wanna scare ya tho.

u really cant pic a bad pheno....just take it easy tho....I'm serious, and all jokes aside...BH messes your head.

youll enjoy it tho thats for sure...if i had ta choose I'd def be on the look out for an SPG pheno...VERY potent and smells like gas. more indica, but it will be hard to tell for sure.

[SweetIndica]

whats the spg pheno mean? I've seen the pic you posted, looks very nice...is that a more sativa pheno? I've heard it's very strong, so i'm excited.

 

[Guest]

u should be excited...as BH is not a joke.

SPG is (sweet pink grapefruit) a base of many of breeder steves work...

check this thread bro if u havent...its a bit of a hidden gem here, but some peeps w/ lots of knowledge have contributed.

also "trichomefarmer" has some info, but I cant get him off the chat area.....he knows the p19 influence which i think is important.

that thread should answer lots for ya tho.

If anyone knows anything about BH then go with Yukons opinions. He's worked with this strain and it's one of his favorites so I would imagine he knows what he's talking about. By the way nice selection. I assure you BH won't dissapoint you.

 

[SweetIndica]

yea, i know. I've been reading all of his posts on BH, we should declare him the master of BH

I see this thread all the time.

Which pheno to look for?
The pheno to look for is your favorite of the group.

Which pheno yeilds the best?
The plant that weighs the most.

It's nice to see which plants lean toward the mom or dad but picking "the correct" pheno is meaningless. Picking your favorite plant is really what you want to do. Only growing and smoking them will let you know which plants are the keepers. Not somebody sitting in front of their computer thousands of miles away.

Blockhead is a fabulous strain high on my list. You will be very pleased with the resin content and vigor they grow with along with the yeild. = all characteristics from the father

 

[SweetIndica]

Thanks for the useless post. I realize picking my favorite pheno is obviously what i will due, but if you would read i said which pheno will yield the best and have dense buds? It's a simple question, so instead of being a dick and trying to sound smart you could of either helped me or kept your comment to yourself. Someone who actually knows the answer i'm sure could answer it for me, i'm assuming the more indica leaning phenos will yield the best and have denser buds than the sativa pheno, that's all i need to know.

 

[Guest]

I think if you take a second to think about what I said you'll see I was helpful and did answer your question. Here's some more help.

If you want a dense buds pick the plant with the densest bud. Thats all I'm trying to say. The plants will not be one pheno or the other. There are many combinations.

Don't count the Sat leaning ones out. But why would you since your picking the best plant Which makes this kind of thread useless and never solves anything yet gets repeated all the time.

I don't have time to flower them all out, and then decide which clones i want to keep. I need to try and find the best pheno during veg. All i want to know is, do the more indica phenos yield better and have denser buds than the sativa phenos? And, if anyone has tried the different phenos, are the indica phenos very potent, or not as potent as the sativa leaning phenos? I realize the high will be different, i just need to know in terms of potency. I may be able to grow the mothers out and decide then, but most likely not due to me moving out in a little over 3 months.

This thread wasn't useless, i've searched for all these questions before and i couldn't find the exact answers i was looking for. And i didn't just make this thread to get info on the phenos, i also asked about which growing technique is the best and if there is anything i need to know before growing her.

I have no problem with you, but your post wasn't needed. I understand i should fully flower them out to choose which pheno i liked best, but like i said i most likely won't have that option. If you think my thread was useless, then don't post in it...simple as that.

In your case I'd say its a crap shoot if there is no time to flower them all out. I'm sorry I couldn't help more. A low density indy dom will look just like a high density indy dom in veg as will the sat doms and everything in between.

Overall getting a good yeilder will be likely with these genes so don't worry. Watchout for mold and bud rot if you do get a dense one. Keep humidity low and make it windy.

peace

Alright, thanks for the info. Yea, all of the indica BH phenos i've seen are dense or very dense so i'm hoping i will most likely be ok. The humidity should be fine, for some reason in my growroom the humidity never goes above 50%. It's usually around 30-40%.

hum , did i miss something LOL ...

For yield wise , go with the more sat looking fem´s ( most likely swt or P19 pheno´s)
but be sure to know that the swt pheno got some tendencies to auto flower , so you dont want this one !





Bb pheno , is most dense one i found , is a tasty treat with a cotton like feeling smoke thats more expansive than from the other´s , got rock hard nuggets that weight most for their size ! but the overall yield wasnt to compare to the swt phenos ... the smoke was 1000 : 1 , this is my keeper needing 10 weeks ...






there´s another pheno found in there , its a blend of all strains used to make Bh , its a fuely lemon tasting/smelling one with a good yield .... but duration of the high sucks ... , didnt kept me high for longer than 2 hours -
