Dark Harvest GROW CHALLENGE!

[KingKush]

This Grow Challenge will provide many objective results including a legit Strain Review from some growers. And we can all follow it. There are some popular strains that we all grow/ have grown so we are trying some promising NEW up-and-comers to test genetics. We talked extensively about bag appeal and longevity of these flavors in our grow rooms. They will hopefully become a staple in my barn.

The challenge is against yourself, how well can you do with a short veg time and swelling/smelling flowers around the holidays (and family).

We have banded together to grow some new exciting flavors and some of us would never venture out and order seeds if this motivation wasn't here. There is also a wider window for learning: if my grow ended up subpar to yours, I would still know how you achieved victory and I could be on the fast track to improvement for the next try for myself.

Its fun, perhaps it will become something, but it is very friendly and informative rather than competitive.

Campesino @farmerjim

Thanks for the warm welcome to the experiment.

I will grow this in my 100 × 100 tent with an 350 actuall watt led light. My thought first with this tent was to grow two plants and really perfect my training techniques but I will make some minor changes so that I can fit 4 plants. Two of each.

Only problem for me right now is to get the seeds, my local seed bank didnt have the seeds and I HATE the idea of ordering it online.
I will go to Amsterdam city in the end of July and hope I can find them there.

What are the thought of training in this experiment ?

[Dr.Moggs]

@Campesino
Sounds Good. I Will rethink how I can get the seeds but I have bad experience ordering things from overseas, paying in advance and not receiving products.

Just checking regarding the training

[Dr.Moggs]

@Campesino
Ofcourse.
I Will grow in a hydroculture, big DWC. With loads of air !

This Will be an exciting challenge.

the veg rooms are quite now, the plants all moved outside and when I walk by them I can here them say I'm lonely plant something but alas no seeds until Aug. 11th ,then they will get fired up and go into overtime to get the seeds to seedling then plants , You know guys sometimes its hard to come up with enough rambling to keep it current lol

[Redwasp]

If you have some lights that arent to cost prohibitive or have it set up on solar, it pays for itself fast, plant some herbs. I know you can put it outside, but nice to have that aroma. Not to mention fresh herbs to make munchies. I always have some in the bottom under the canopy of the taller plants.

[Campesino]

You are doing a great job as thread promoter oldjarhead100
I like reading your rambles

[Redwasp]

Oh and by herbs i mean actual cooking herbs. Wait that still isnt clear. Here thyme, basil, rosmary etc.

And im trying to keep it up. I have the seeds coming so put me on the maybe list. Ill probably not be in town to start on the 11th. But will see

[Campesino]

Excellent!
Will Do. Happy to have you on board
Maybe mobile germination?

[KingKush]

I won't sell myself short, I'm a HUGE slouch...


Perhaps she is a little root bound? I just gave her some water it was looking a little dry lol 😂

[Campesino]

OMG KingKush
You can do better than that!

[DankwingDuck]

I personally love Arizona/New Mexico/SoCal area and have wanted to move there for a long time . I really love that masa tempe Arizona Area a lot . But I feel like I would still miss Detroit .

[oldjarhead100]

I love NE for 9 months of the year but winter is starting to wear on me lol

[DankwingDuck]

I personally love the winter so it’s no issue for me . I myself don’t like the heat ( fat guy problems ) XD . I been trying to get my grill friend to agree to move to Alaska but she isn’t about that life xD .

Dgth made the strongest strains on earth in high times magazine in 2016.

https://hightimes.com/strains/the-strongest-strains-on-earth-2016/

[Redwasp]

I love the fact that ChemDog started as seeds found in a bag of weed called "the dog." That was in that article somewhere. 32.13% that started as bag seed.

[Redwasp]

Oh and holy shit over 20% cbd in canatonic!!!

[DankwingDuck]

I will be ordering my seeds as soon as I figure out this bitcoin thing . So you can move me from the maybe list to the participating list.

[oldjarhead100]

[oldjarhead100]

I have been so busy getting the outdoor grow off the ground that I haven't had time for my veggies, maybe this week lol just keeping things current

[Redwasp]

I have all my veggies growing. My flowers up. We harvested over 200 pounds of lettuce last week and donated it all. So got mine going. And i mean actual lettuce. We also donated radishes.

[Redwasp]

Dont want to say. But we have iver 1200 acres total.

[Californiakid]

Nice Redwasp !
That's a good chunk of land.

[oldjarhead100]

yup thats a farm very nice I'm stuck on a 1/4 acre ,the only grass I have to cut is the front lawn 10x10 2 sections 5 minutes each lol every usable inch is used out back if it doesn't have veggies growing then it doesn't get enough sun

[oldjarhead100]

so I'm watering yesterday after driving back from pittsfield (2 hour drive ) ,And I here like a big bubblier WTF well I looked over and my sisters water hearer is leaking like the faucet was turned on ,with in two minutes I was standing in a half inch of water ,it took that long to move all the shit in the way to reach it to shut it off then I cleared all the stuff in the way and checked it out the leak was coming out of the out flow pipe , so I'm going to remove it and see if all that blew was the pipe . Last time I did a water heater it was under $200 the cheapest one I saw on Lowes website was $350 yikes so I hope it is only the pipe ,Gotta love this hard water town , Actually I did good most people only get 2 to 4 years with there hot water heaters Its been ten years since I put that one in and my water heater is over 20 years so I did good dam I hope I didn't just jinks myself

[oldjarhead100]
