hey whats up tml long time no talk i havent really been all to active i took a month break from growing to enjoy my harvest full time but sadly all of my precious lifesaver has been smoked. i have just germed some more lifesaver and bogglegum and have ordered some new genetics i opted for dutch passions- hempstar, masterkush, blueberry,strawberry cough and ultra skunk im buying in bulk cause i really dont wanna have to order again for a lil while im planning on doing a mom run on all these strains so i can do a couple of experiments to max out my case and set up some perpetual staggered harvest or something. even though i havent been posting i have still been lurking and let me tell you your grows just keep getting better and better i remember when you were over at OG with the hermed dutch passion twins well i just dropped in to say hey later
-The Budfather-
Man TML - you're really doing great by these girls! And I love your camera's white balance - makes for a very rich colored pic! That 3rd grape pic - hmm, could it be foxtailin? Ya know, the dance chubby happy girls make before they ....
UN - Grape is getting sexy. I'm really liking her colours. Alot different than any strain I've grown yet. So easy to take care of in flower too...she doesn't complain about nothin. The trichs on Tange are all clouded...yet not an amber in sight. I'd really like to get some couchlock buzz in there this time around...so I'm willing to wait :wink:
Budfather - Wow man...welcome back It's been awhile. Glad you got to fully enjoy that harvest. I'm sure the lifesaver treated you well.
That sounds like quite the awesome selection of seeds from DP That should leave you with quite the selection of moms. I see you ordered Hempstar too look out...you're gonna be one medicated man! Thanks for the compliments bro. Things have come alomg way since OG
MGJ - Your compliments are always welcome here I tried out PN2P's method of colour adjustment to eliminate HPS red. I found it works well with some pics I'll play around with it some more.
You'll hafta excuse my newbness for a moment while I ask for a definition on Foxtailing...I have an idea of what you mean...but not 100% sure
Fat bottomed girls make the rockin world go round!
The Dopest - It's great to see someone new to the thread Thanks for the compliment. Grab a bean bag chair and join in...the hookah will be fired up in moments Theres always more room...just hope I can keep the beer stock up :friends:
Should have some dry/jarred Hempstar pics for you guys within the next 2 days when they're all dried up
< while I ask for a definition on Foxtailing... > when the bracts pile on in the last part of flower they give the appearance of a "foxtail", getting bushier and fuller, the picture kinda looks that way to me...
hell yea TML.....good to hear. i'm waiting it out right with you dude, i'm not harvesting any of my closet early, it's all coming down in a week!!!!!!!!!!! mega-chop session comin up
stay strong waiting for those trichs it will pay off!
Mr GreenJeans - :wink: That's what I thought...I've also heard it reffered to as ramshorning. Tangerine is really foxtailing out still...seems she likes to pack some horns on at the end Grape is starting to foxtail too...but I'm not sure she'll be ready as early as I thought when I saw them big fat leaves.
User Name - I can't wait to see the show when you go in for the chop
I'm still holding out on Tangerine. Finally seen a few ambers today...should have a decent amount within the week. She continues to pack on weight too...so I'm gonna go ahead and let her.
Gonna put Blueberry in the flower room tommorrow...She's not really ready yet, but is showing good new growth now and she's tall enough. I should be able to get away with taking a few cuttings a few days into flower...pics will come with Tange + Grape update.
It's been like 23 days and the Grape clones still havn't rooted in the cup. I guess day 15 is pretty late to try and take cuttings..hehe Don't count them out yet though...I can see some coming soon and believe it or not, even though they don't look all that well, they are still doing ok
Tangerine clone (which was taken on day 11 flower) is doing great now. Lotsa new growth...I want to veg her out a little and take multiple cuttings this time and maybe mother one. I need her to be cut and ready to replace Grape though.
Experiment #1
_____________________
Last week when I saw I was struggling to replace the next plant for flowering,and I saw I was behind I germed a Passion #1 seed. I know my last P#1 grow had some problems and my first P#1 grow was 180cm(6') With new experience and patience I figured maybe I could conquer her in an indoor theatre. My first grow was successfull...and I was quite happy with the product.
I've always wanted to try a 12/12 from seed grow ever since seeing them back on OG. Since P#1 seeds are feminized, I figured I'd take the chance and go for it. Passion #1 Will be taking the stage to replace Tangerine when she's done.
I guess the whole grow will be a little experimental
I will make sure I never run into this problem again though. I will always have a vegged lady ready to go.
Hempstar - Besides the popcorn buds (which were mmm...mmm good ) I havn't smoked any of her.
I dropped her in the jar yesterday.
I actually found an old kitchen scale (dunno how accurate) after de-stemming and minus the popcorn buds I put up 46 Grams in the jar. I'm almost in the neighborhood of what I want my per plant yield to be.
Heres a dry nug
Sorry for ramblin...I'll have some update pics over the next couple days...last update for Tangerine
Hey TML, just stopping by to say hello again. Can't wait to see the pictures. That hempstar looks mighty fine. That's on the top of my list to grow.
Have a good one
good idea man, start cycling the new shit in ASAP. i want to decrease my stall-out period after harvest....this run i had to wait a full month of veg before anything was ready. and the tent took 3 weeks longer to get setup!
can't wait to see the passion, you've always got something interesting goin' on over here!
Hiya TML!
Foxtail, ramshorn - nothing like hony tail (ducking) I think you'll be pleased with the weight another week will add to the Tangerines.
I haven't had luck rooting in a cup, but I'm going to try it again in a different room than the basement - - what a concept - the family can move into the basement, and the plants in the bedroom says Mrs GJ
Growing the Passion #1 12/12 from the start will do it - that's how I started my first run of Amnesia99. That run ended up around 2 feet tall. They grew pretty leisurely until the started alternating nodes - then VARROOM! This will be a fun girl to watch.
46 grams on the hempstar minus popcorn - good going mate! That's a beautiful frosty nug!
Insomniac - Welcome to the thread and IC mag
Don't worry about your shoes...we're not fancy here...
UN ashes on the floor
MGJ talks with his mouth full of cannacookies and gets crumbs on the floor
P2NP picks his toe nails
and Budfather has some wicked gas that even the crazy rotten pumpkin smell of Passion #1 can't cover up
Don't worry the maid will be around to clean up when we pass out from our Hempstar medicade.
j/k guys
You can't go wrong with Hempstar man. Easy to grow...stays short and dense and the buds are medically potent. In all seriousness I've had some long time smokers bow out of a Hempstar joint :jawdrop:
User Name - I really wanted to keep the cycle goin, I was even bummed about my 1 week stall I plan to never let that happen again...growing 2-3 plants at a time I should always have something vegged and ready to go.
Blueberry is going to be new territory and Passion #1 has eluded my fine tuning thus far...hope I can figure them both out now that I have a little experience
MGJ - I think as cannabis growers we got so many terms and such we could form our own language and dictionaries.
good luck pullin that one by the ol'lady. We like to think we have a say...don't we?
Funny how different cloning methods work better for others...for me the cup thing is the only success I've had
I remember you growing that AM99 from seed, actually that's what took away any skepticism I had in doing it myself. P#1 seems like the perfect strain to do something like that with...and they're feminized too
Hempstar does have some nice bag appeal. Just picked up a bag of commercial Hempstar this week too...will help pass some time till the jar is cured. Man...I've been so stoned
dont ya just love growing your on and then having people noto be able to take the homegrown. i love putting talkers to rest when i pulled out a jay of LS and blew up my too buddies one was tweaking saying this was the highest hes ever been the other kept asking me for a glass of water. well today is my b-day i got a hit o acid last night to celebrate and a gram of LS that i had saved plus 2 more grams o shit but all n all was a good party and today im going to a park to light up some jays and be in somekind of natural setting. ahh tis a good day to be born!!! happy labor day TML!!! i leave you with an early pic of lifesaver from my last grow.
Happy Labour Day to all too! Get all those damned kids back to school (no wearing white any more either!)
Hope you have a good celebration. It's been a good 10 years since I've done acid, although you always gotta be in an outdoor setting...always makes the trip sooo much better.
Labour Day weekend would be a great time to have a b-day!
Tangerine -
^ She's in the "harvest window" now. She's gonna weight till the window is closing and do an action hero barrel roll under it to escape just in time
Grape -
^^ Grape is just a sexy bitch She photographs so well. Looks like she won't be quite early as I thought she'd be. I'll be patient with her
Blueberry -
^^^ She's pretty scrawny and stretchy...but good new growth coming in. I'm gonna cut a couple clones from that bottom stuff tommorrow and hope for the best
All new growth seems to be good and green...so I know she's doing well now. She looks a little stretchy so she may have to be pinched or tied to keep height down, she's alreay 22cm(9")
Arrgggh damn spider mites are back They went to town on Grape the last couple days. Those lil bastards work fast!
I broke the no-pest strip back out of it's ziplock...hope it's still good
Me's thinkin BB brought them in from veg cab??
ahhh well...couple more weeks and those critters will be history...startin to get a lil chill in the air at night for sure
Keepin the train rollin...thanks for the visit guys
And the girls jes keep on growin! Tasty tasty tasty You have better flavors than Jamba Juice!
The grape's new growth is looking good - she's gonna beef up nicely. Sorry about the mites, 'tis the season I guess. Unzip the Strip!!! Gettin a little chill at night here too, not long before the bugs sleep for the winter
Insomniac - I love waking up to a wake'n'bake and checkin the boards on IC. Always a relaxing way to start the day
Yield is always a funny thing and I hate countin my chickens before my eggs hatch but being so close with Tangerine I guess I could estimate it to be in the 60-70 gram realm Grape looks like 35-45 gram which has been par for me thus far.
This round of Tangerine will be my biggest yielder to date. 56 Grams per plant is my approximate goal
Mr GreenJeans - Where'd all these fruit strains come from? This was not planned MGJ...it kinda just happened
Any muskmelon strains around? :wink:
It will be interesting to see what Grape pulls off, not too sure the clones will make it (mighta taken them too late in flower) but I have good seed stock. Call it a test grow I guess.
Seems like the mites will be an ongoing battle in the warm months I've never been so excited for the cold weather change before. Better tune up the Polaris!
The Dopest - The Chronic side of her genes really helps her pack it on. It's quite spongy bud though and so it's not all that heavy...it doesn't really get hard as a rock like some nugs do. There is many a fat cola on this plant though and she pleases me
The Grape is just an example of some of the fine bagweed we get around here. It smells and tastes just like skunky grape candy too!
Thanks for the compliments and thanks for stopping in guys...If there's anything I can do to make your visit more comfortable...just ask the maid
Tangerine harvest will most likely be the next update....
Irony is a bitch. I harvested Tangerine on day 71 last time. Mind last time it was from seed and this time from clone. I think it matured a bit faster from clone, and the hotter temps helped mature her faster too.
The clone I have is doing great and will be replacing grape after itself is cloned. A few cuttings will be taken this time and one possibly mothered.
On with the pics....Day 71 Tangerine
Harvest -
^ Gonna be my best yield yet in weight
Passion #1 seedling will be going in the flower room tommorrow.
Grape should be done within a few weeks...I'll get some update pics of Grape, Blueberry, and the first Passion #1 pics soon
