My perpetual grow journal

[RosettaStoned]

Second harvest off the first grow (pineapple Express x black diesel a1, a1 being one of two different growth types of this cross) weighs a measly 3.75 zips. It did produce some big buds but everything is pretty loose. Has an interesting smell...kinda like pastries. It's still pretty green, only 2 weeks if cure. I will see how it smokes of course but might not be something I grow in the future. I'm looking for density and sweet resiny goodness. The size of the buds doesn't matter to me as much.
I have two more runs with this particular strain left. One seven weeks in flower. Three more along with three bubblewarp that are huge. Going to flower them all at once. They've been topped once but have just let them grow for the most part. I will probably try a major defoliation on them and put them under the net and spread the mains out. A little LST a few weeks before I flip to help with the spread.

I wish I could give some of these to the fellow GWE community since I have so many and don't want them. I'm sure someone does somewhere. Oh well

I though about moving this to it's own thread

It's my vegetable garden amendment recipe minus a lot of P and K. I have more ingredients to add for the no nutes super soil. I will post the recipe when I start it.

That is a nice concoction you have going there, no doubt its doing a great job.You might want to get a patent on it so a lot of newbies want have to think so much an hard. Nice job RoseStoner.

wow looking good did you make that recipe or follow it sounds like it does a great job

Finally looking like a normal plant. These two in the soil are more bc pinewarp x bubblegummer (now bubblewarp). They were cut off the first one I grew just before the forth week of flower, so monster cropped? I made a semi super soil, mostly nitrogen to grow during veg and I have some roots organic flowering nutes to use for flower. They were given to me and I can't throw stuff away that is usable. Plus the bc pinewarp is suppose to be an outdoor plant so maybe some benefits of growing in soil.

The soil recipe is.....
3 parts canadian sphagnum moss
1 part perlite/ vermiculite mix
1 1/2 earthworm castings
1 1/2 coast of Maine lobster Aspen bark compost
1 part = 5 gallon bucket
(Got this off another forum)

Fertilizer recipe, all equal parts in a bucket, mix well. I used a solo cup half full for all but kelp meal.
espoma garden tone
" Chicken manure
" Iron tone
" Garden gypsum
" Garden lime
" Kelp meal (double the amount)
Megamend volcanic rock dust
Encap bone and blood meal
Orgo neem cake
Dr Earth garden fertilizer
all OMRI listed

I used two table spoons of the fertilizer mix per 5gallon bucket. I let it cook for about a month before planting In 5 gallon Aurora innovations fabric pots. They have been in these pots for about two weeks. I don't pH the water and no run off. Straight RO water every three days, 16 oz for now
i will be hopefully making a giant batch that needs nothing but water for the entire grow soon. Also will be doing the the no till method. Got that idea off another forum too, but farmers have doing that for years. Not sure I'm ready for the slow growth though.

Yes I like those too! I'm letting it go another week this time to see if there is further development. Since it's an at home cross, the genetics are unknown except the parents. Seems to been the more stable of the three I've grown so far. Still have a pineapple Express x White widow to pop sometime. Also found a seed in a bag of star killer I purchased. Beautiful looking seed! Hopefully a winner..... we'll see soon I hope

Wow, Stoned, the SCROG looks amazing, kinda like the Amazon jungle used to look!!! Beeeyoootiful buds!!!!!!!!

[oldjarhead100]

Nice job Rosetta love the trics in that 5th picture they all look good but that one has extras lol

[RosettaStoned]

Just a shot of the girls in their sixth week. Also some choice nuggets off the bc pinewarp x bubblegummer.

[RosettaStoned]

Thanks guys! I'm glad I made it through without a major disaster

[D.A.A.S.69]

Great job, RS. Nice harvest, now you get to enjoy all that fun even more.

[alltatup]

Outstanding work, Stoned!!!! I love the first pic of all the buds hanging. Magnificent!! And that good smell is calling to you.... They say we are drawn to the terpenes that we as individuals need the most. In other words, if it smells really good to you, you should definitely smoke it!! ;-}

Harvested the last plant of first grow! Looks pretty good, smells amazing This is also a pineapple Express x black diesel but grows different than the last one harvested. This one is definitely better than the other. It is more dense, has more thrichs, and overall better looks.

I finished the dividing wall in my room. Quite the challenge moving a tent with plants in it, then removing the tent from around it.
Started my first sea of green. I'm using the led lights I purchased to grow this one. 2 300 watt (132 actual) ,pineapple Express strain.
Harvesting the last girl from first grow tonight! Second grow is starting it's sixth week
