Tika’sGarden of Earthly Delights

[Spidermite]

I love your pics Tika. Those are some really frosty plants. I am waiting on my white rhinos to start getting all frosty now. I love the white strains for this. And it seems led lights leave the plants frostier too. Those are some beautiful plants.

[Tika]

Spidermite I LOVE WHITE RHINO! Was impressed with Nebulas grow of her and went for it. No where as good as her huge buds BUT I still have some and she’s still enjoyable...for the couch🤓 I love Kushes as well for frosty. These buds will not be big but will be rock hard ( I anticipate) .
how far along are you with your WR?

[Spidermite]

The white rhino has about 5 weeks left. I have 10 different strains going atm not including the 4 im harvesting this week. I do autos in the winter so I can use the lights to heat the basement. About time to start my photo plants though. I have 3 empty tents now waiting to decide what Im growing.

Currently I have fast buds White Rhino, Girl Scout cookies, Big C, lemon ak47, and gorilla glue. Then another msnl blue tooth, white widow, carmelicious, ak47, and white lsd. All autos. We shall see what summer brings.

Tika You need to get a White Rhino t-shirt https://www.seedsman.com/en/white-rhino-design I bought my wife one. Now she's a real fan girl. That package made it through customs safely with my seeds intact.

[starramus]

How does Nirvana's White Rhino compare to Greenhouse Rhino anyone? I've only grown the Greenhouse.

[Tika]

snipped a top early today of DoubleCookiexWizardPunch still at least 1.5 weeks to go but watching pistils & trics just the same.
nice and firm🤓

[LurkingInTheGrass]

so pretty

[Cronk]

looks like cotton. never seen that

[Tika]

Cronk it’s a bleached out top bud. No chlorophyll.sme love it some dis it.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

does it have a kick? after all the drying and curing?

[Tika]

According to my intense friends yes. You would have to try some to see🙄 LED light peeps confirm it.
I am not a cheap date but am an easy stone. So personally I can’t say. That’s why I ( personally) won’t smoke anything until 2 months of cure...hate racing thoughts on top of my racing thoughts.
The bleach is no green in the top buds-no chlorophyll...so I assume it will be a smooth smoke at the minimum.

[RagWeedDWC]

"I am not a cheap date but am an easy stone." Well said :-)

[Tika]

Harvest to start in 2 weeks or so. Champing at the bit per usual planning the next drop (to curb myself). Preparing the mix, need to pre moisten with plain water and 5mgs of CaliMagic @pH 6 then drop seed into root riot and then into the pre moistened pots. Standard procedure. If seeds are good I will get %100 germination. Backbfil with the coco perlite once the stem gets leggy...and off into sexing. ( don’t go there)
This round is different: I actually ordered ( I think I said) regular seeds from BCBudDepot ( the god bud love hate relationship in my history/journals. ) exotic indeed.
So from bcbuddepot All regular : NOTE 2 week delivery as stated! Like in my box! 2 weeks! Today
12 Tuna God: tuna kush x bc god bud
12 Bubba god: bubba kush x bc god bud
12 gift of Tangie Cookies. (Girl Scout cookie thin mint & Tangie by Elev8 (10 weeks flower 🙄) gifted as I had an issue with cc and I helped resolve. I picked my gift.
From the_honeysticks. #honeysticksgenetics as a tester I will be dropping ( put is a better word as no f.....g way one drops into root riot or rapid rooter ) Sleven of Wizard ( my last Mint Diesel Sleven has been a hit).
My seeds came clean and clear and ocd packaging , fed the 7 in the tent , the Two Purple Moby dick(s) laid out plan and figure it has been a perfect
HedgeWitch day

oh the joy of a photoperiod feminized seed

happy spring to all of you...love that the snow melts and the worm appears...fishing is future❤️

[starramus]

great that you got your seeds from bcbuddepot with no hitches. why the confiscations of only the Seedsman orders?

[oldjarhead100]

Tika I run a razor down the sides of mine and open them up like a biskit way easier to get seed in lol, very nice to see green thank you for that

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Last night was a confluence of events

Full moon (worm moon, for fishing and farming folk)
Moon at perigee (closest to earth) - sometimes referred to as a Super Moon
And the Equinox

I think this is a great article by Ed Rosenthal on drying and curing..
may your weekend be going along beautifully

[Spidermite]

But thank you for the post. Several of us here have been discussing the best way to preserve terpenes. We have all decided that under 65 degrees is best. Which that article clears up. Throw as much reading as you can my way. Im kind of a nerd when it comes to learning a trade. I bore the hell out of my wife but I can never learn to much.

Thanks for the reading

[oldjarhead100]

I found that very interesting Tika thanks ,I noticed he said to not cure in jars but did not say what to cure in or I missed it LOL I use a drying rack in cellar it takes about 3 days until I lose sufficient weight to put in jars ,then slowly burp down to 62 percent RH

[LurkingInTheGrass]

oldjarhead100 - he is curing in the drying room. like old-timey tobacco curing. he wants it cured before storage in glass

[Tika]

Another interesting article on Thai Sticks. Not what I remember as such but interesting...for those of us a tad bit older to remembering (and I do & will never forget ) The Vietnam War.
I am reading so I keep my hands off my plants except to feed in these next weeks..,.

[RagWeedDWC]

ah, thai sticks.... recall them fondly, only back in the barracks, but an awesome smoke and a huge waste of weed.

I have Rosenthal's handbook on my Kindle. It's a great resource.

Need to remind some (not all ) that you are one of my very best teachers...years ago

This is a case where the student out masters the teacher. Way to go Grasshopper.

[Tika]

Just a few tent shots this am. Into the 8th week

[Spidermite]

Beautiful plants. And you have alot of room left in there. That is nice. Im going down to just 8 plants total inside in 2 4×4 tents. Im hoping with fewer plants mine will be as pretty as yours.

[Tika]

🙏@Spidermite. Yeah I usually have 7 or 8 in the 5x9’’ tent. Never know how wide plants will go with LST and since I lift each one out every feed I rather I don’t bash them into each other. Keeps air flow going I think .
Thanks for your appreciation🤗🤓🤗

[Doubledealing72]

Your plants look beautiful Tika! Can I steal your tent? 😂 I wish I had that much room!
