[SoOrbudgal]

I love smokin my own weed. Thanks to this site my weed (when it behaves) is nearly as good or better than dispensary!!
Lurkingin you and Mrs. are gonna have a goodtime Congrats beautiful buds.

[oldjarhead100]

SoOrbudgal (is that meant to say sore bud gal or sourbudgal or South Oregon bud gal I'm always curious about handles , anyways you grow better buds than the dispensary , when big business got involved with growing safe pot went out the window because they grow for profit and use things we never would , when some dispensary were spot tested they were using pesticides that are illegal in us ,thats what gives there weed that little extra kick lol

[Rwise]

Starting in the garden, HBDB (Himalaya Blue Diesel X Headbanger), Bruce Banner 3, Mazar I Sharif, Colombian Gold
In waiting in Rusty Glue, and Tajikastani Hash Plant, when I know what I have ,,,,
In the flower room, BB3, MIS, CG (and a snowryder clone if you spot it), and of course the Himalaya Blue Diesel is still putting on weight!

And a bit of a change in summer plans, the "indoor" grow will be in 1 gallon pots (instead of the 20 gallon I have been busting my @@@ on) so I can take them out for free light! Solves several issues and save some funds that can go to better lights! They will stay on 12/12s and straight into flower! Hope for harvest before the other 5 photos outside start flowering,,,, along with the auto in the garden.

[oldjarhead100]

hey bro if you will be caring them in and out why dont you go with 5 gallon pots with handles , I know the 1 gallon you can grab like 4 at a time but isn't that going to inhibit growth by being root bound unless its a sea of green

[Rwise]

Simple, I am on a 0 lb weight limit, (Dr said not even a fork) the 5 gallon would put me in a world of hurt! And I have vowed no more surgeries! I agree 5 gallon pots would be better,,,

[Spidermite]

Well running behind moving plants from greenhouse to outdoors. Got the crew out working to help. We got 115 in the ground today. Here are some pics.

[Retodd]

Been busy. You weren’t kidding

[oldjarhead100]

Those are some huge plants to be just going out holy cow when did you start them

[Spidermite]

I would have to go back and look at when those got started.

[Retodd]

My first Saturday post since last grow. In the back are my two ww autos that will stay in the tent. They’re a bit behind. I ended up nute burning them in the beginning and they’re on the 14/10 light schedule for now while starting my photos in there w them for the next month. In the front is iced grapefruit on the left and original glue on the right. I’ll be putting a critical orange, 2 more grapefruit, and another glue in soil tomorrow to join them in here. Of course I’m not topping any of my photos. They’re all just over 2 weeks old. Hope it’ll be a nice climate outside this year and none of us have to deal with bud rot like we did last year.
✌🏻🙏🏼

[oldjarhead100]

thats a great idea putting the seeds in there own paper towel much easier to keep separate no mix ups like I get

[Spidermite]

So your a SoOrFixitwithbudgal.

Yeah In the past ive ended up not knowing which plant was which. Lol Its a bad feeling when you have more than a few plants. Lol

[Retodd]

I also use a zip tie and tag on outdoor plants. The pots on the inside are all labeled with a sharpie. It’s the drying process that can be a pain. For large amounts I’ll use my barn. In the past I’d only grow one strain. This year I’ll be growing 5 different strains. Glad I could help ya OJH

[oldjarhead100]

keeping strains separate is easy just harvest on different days , we will only take what we can trim in a couple of hours What I cant figure out is how to keep the labels from fading to nothing lol, I like the zip tie idea, I do want to say that when I forget or cant read the label the bud goes into a mix, and you never know what your getting we call it surprise weed lol

[Retodd]

I gave my pots a good soaking and I got the other two grapefruit in soil and the glue tonight. They all had 1/4” tails on them. The orange still hasn’t cracked. I’ll give it another day or two in the paper towels. Haven’t had any luck yet on any of the critical orange seeds. My buddy’s didn’t crack either. Switched the light from 14 to 18 hrs the other day and the photos are loving it! I keep hoping the widows will do ok since I burned them in the beginning. Let’s see what happens between tonight and Saturday’s update. Ttyall soon
🙏🏼✌🏻

[KTM690]

Still no go posting pics for me oh well. Updates for me are the white widow is smoking great the sweet tooth sample was really good rest is curing looks really good. The lowryder is hanging real excited to try that 1. Rest of plants are cranking along new babies have rooted and started the journey. Really shitty not having pics to show but that's just the way it is

[Mr.furley]

New420guyseeds GSC #2 clone photoperiod . Hanging to dry.

[Spidermite]

How much did you get out of her? Ill be lucky to get 3 ounces out of my Auto GSC. But she is pretty and omg smells good.

[Mr.furley]

Still hanging whole so probably should have a jar weight Saturday.
The smell is overwhelming, I'm like James Brown around the thing!

[Tika]

That’s a beauty!

[oldjarhead100]

I harvested the Last auto it was a red diesel I should end up with 2.3 ounces the third pic is the 5 main buds the rest of the plant was 141 grams wet and the buds weighed in at 100 on the nose ,I like running leds but these 300 watt ones just don't get it done. My average yield is 2 ounces ,I think a couple more cmhs are on the horizon

[Spidermite]

See thats why I love this group. Everyone worthwhile helps everyone else. I send someone who is out of seeds seeds. You send extra lights. Others send nutrients.

I went to our local, and first ever, hemp fest and they are all dicks. I am not an expert but I do grow more plants and have been doing it longer than all the know it alls there. Yet im looked down on there. I just want to say to those fucks lets compare at harvest. Assholes

[oldjarhead100]

Spidermite youv'e sent seeds though the mail how did you package them I have 2 of those musical birthday cards with seeds taped to the metal piece and thats as far as I got . so any info you can give would be great. Obi-Wan I sent you a PM , I know what you mean with stuff gathering dust I was looking for something and found a small hood for my hps I forgot I had

[Spidermite]

oldjarhead100 i sent them with a few trinkets. In this case classic Johhny Lightning cars. I put them in a car cover for the cars. If they looked hard they could find them but when you open it it looks legit.

[oldjarhead100]

If the weather people are right and they are not right more often than right lol this should be the last cold night ,low 30s ,the girls in the green house did ok except for the 2 that I thought were autos they were a little droopy ,hopefully they made it last night if not I have replacements

[Rwise]

Mid week update chop chop! Amber is here, and since this is a learning thread, something different. I knew she could not hold for head up without the ropes around heer, see pic 1. Pic 2 is the main cola and a 750ml home made blackberry wine. Pics 3 and 5 buds, pic 4 whats left.
Now she is a 120 day from seed to harvest and just over that, whats our thoughts on her filling out all that popcorn?
I know that she could die from shock, or just not do anything at all but set there, I hope she goes to town making bud!

Out in the garden, looks like the THP is male, will make 100%, bummer! However the CG I got 2 nice females and both went to the garden (updates Saturday,,,). Over the next 2 or 3 days we may get up to 4-6 inches of rain on saturated ground. Glad I am on the hill top!!

[Spidermite]

I like to make stuff with any popcorn. But then again i have more plants than most.

[Retodd]

Nice! 🖕🏿Spider....he’s just bragging...lmao. I wish I could grow as much, jealousy talking

[oldjarhead100]

I left a plant like that after I took main buds it will fill out just a matter of waiting I wanted to get the next grow in and couldn't wait but they did start to fill out

[Spidermite]

Ok this group I think im gonna hand trim. Dont want to lose any of these special trichomes. They trichs are doubling every day now.

All are fast bud seeds. This first is girl scout cookies



Next is Lemon Ak47



Then Big C



And finally stardust



Enjoy the bud porn. These were all just test subjects but they seem to be doing well.

[Retodd]

Bro, can’t wait for mine! Hella nice for indoor!

[oldjarhead100]

how was the timing on them maybe they were fast inside lol,they look fantastic

[Spidermite]

I just went back and looked. They popped February 22nd. So today that makes them 70 days old I think. The girl scout cookie is going to be harvested today at day 70. The stardawg will be about 7 more days at most and will be chopped next Thursday at the latest. The lemon ak47 appears to have a long time to go. Doesnt even have a faded pistol yet.

Then the Big C. Smh not ready i dont think but if you saw my other post she has trichs turning blood red. Which is pretty and is cool but no idea what that says about timing. I cut a small section to dry and test. It was a freebie pack of seeds. I think its mostly a sativa other than the ruderalis genes but I could be wrong. But if it is a sativa I dont like growing them much. Lol

Im also a bit worried about the main cola on the Lemon Ak47 getting bigger and causing issues with mold or bud rot. Its already the size of my leg and appears to have 2 to 3 more weeks to go at least. If the central cola keeps growing like that and it rains everyday leaving the relative humidity at about 100 I may chop that cola early. Rather have some than none.

[Spidermite]

If you try lemon ak47 from fast buds and dont have alot of height top the crap out of it. That plant is 6ft tall but had no training so over 2 feet is the main cola.

[Spidermite]

Well we had originally had a biggest bud listed. Here are my best blue tooth. 27.2g for 4 buds. Sorry battery is dead so cant see the trichomes due to no flash.



And just trying to keep the thread alive until satarday updates. Lol

[Colombo]

Super nice buds, thick ! Congrats on your grow !!

[Spidermite]

Thanks.

She was an enjoyable plant to grow and very easy. If you like your smoke to start with a nice, goofy, utterly happy high that shortly is taken over by a very relaxed but strong couch lock you will enjoy her.

The range of flavors still has me baffled. On exhale you will be certain you taste fruity pebbles or frootloops. Nope there it now tastes like sour patch kids. After a few back to back sessions you will just be laughing so hard you will forget you were just trying to determine descriptors for the strain. Ok let me go give this taste test ine more try. Ive never been a quitter.

Canuck147 I was just trying to be entertaining. Wait or I was high. Hmmm But seriously everyone can post on their own timetable. I was not trying to sound negative or anything. I guess Im just in a weird mood today. So forgive me my friends.

Now what was I doing? Oh a taste test. Bbl
