Fourth of July Crop

Hey Shov, that purple pheno.....was that from seed or clone?

And what does your neighbor use his draft teams for?

[Shovelhandle]

Thanks, HC.

Weedy, the purple pheno was from the same seed mother as the rest of the grow, just one of the different looking plants. I still have seven other plants I haven't checked out yet! I hope there are a few more surprises like the purp plant.
And my neighbor and his dad each have one working pair that can do log skidding as well as hay wagon and sleigh rides. The Deans have other pairs that they are still training. I really don't know much about their horse business except that it's busy over there lately, with the kids' summer horse camp and stuff.

Here's a pile of crumbs I'm presently enjoying. They're from plant #11, the purple pheno.

I've read and read and read FAQ's. Disapointed and intimidated with all the mistakes I've made so far on first grow opportunity. ( I have one lady outdoors, and trying to maximize another veg female into some clones before starting a run)

It was inspiring to read your grow log, see the results, get personal reference to all the nutes and when the hell to use them. I've seen other posts of references of what each does, but easier to just follow your lead for attempt #1 than to try to discern complicated readings.

I'm curious...could you fit more plants more better-er if the pots where square? Does the depth of the pot make a difference...could one use a five gallon pot that was more vertical and less horizontal and still have benifits of a five gallon pot?

And briefly or a link, what is the dilution of/ benifit of the molasses water.

Thanks again....

Square pots? I thought of that and decided that I'd rather have the little wiggle room to easily turn the pots and stuff.

Yup, deep pots are good, however, the 'drip ring' or footprint of the plant itself is easily as large as a standard 5 or 6 gal bucket when it's mature. BOG does an interesting thing where he cuts the bottom off the bucket and just piles this on top of a fresh bucket. I did that to one plant last time. It grew very well.

I used 2 tbs/gallon, once every third watering. water-water/molasses-nutes

Thanks for reading the log. good luck with your buds, Bud!

I've been smoking this cured weed for a few months. It is really good. So a friend of mine in the 'distribution' business had been teasing to swap Zs. I had been saying, 'nah, rather not'. He keep trying, suggesting that having different weed is better than always having the samo. Well, for him, maybe but I had 12 different plants each with a little different something to it. I relented and agreed to swap a half with him. I tried his product out with a friend and decided to save the worse for last. So, into the freezer it went. <G> It's hyped as the 'good shit, Canadian Hydro, man'. lol $300 a Z. Actually it's what I would call mids and the price is a little high, but the street people want to have it...

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

you know shov, you said something about growing this strain again so thought i wanted to check out this one again to refresh my memory and maybe make some comparisons when the time comes.

well i got to this last post of your's. and that's just some scumbag shananigans. you just have to remember, if the shit doesn't look better than your's, it's a 'No thanks' without question. Maybe if his smelled or felt nice, i'd try it out but not exchange a half z of BB...that's like you handing him a lambo and you getting a ticket for an impounded chevette lol. Honest mistake but now ya know better :thumbsup: you're bud is excellent my friend, no doubt.

mgm

[Shovelhandle]

He's a friend of mine, so it's all good. I give weed away so it's no different than that. Funny, I got that bag back out on Saturday and rolled four joints. I put it back in the freeze yesterday. :D

I am germinating six feminized seeds from plant #10 of this grow. Very heady stuff! Looking forward to having some fresh BG again (even though it's a hybrid) next year.

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

haha alright...that still beat lol.

did you clone plant #10 and pollinate or are they just female regardless? Always enjoy watching your girls so i'll be sure to check em out. If you're doing soil, maybe try coco coir? my plants really seem to love it but your's seem happy ;)

mgm

[Shovelhandle]

yep coco coir is very useful. I've sure read about it and thoug about it a lot. I'm organic/soil mostly, I use home grown compost and do more all the time. Hydro is pretty cool but I'll stick to one little thing for now.

[Shovelhandle]

and I gifted to rest of that half to my bud who helped me with my ol's car's brakes. :rasta:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

nice payment...need an oil change? lol

I've got a little over a QP left. :smokin:

to answer your question, they were all grown out from feminized seed and number 10 was also polinated from the single BG hermie and produced a little viable seed. Those are the seeds I'm trying to germinate now.

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

oh i see...well good luck to them poppin. you are still keeping it in jars to cure correct?

[Shovelhandle]

no, it's finished curing so I have most of it vacuum packed (put in a zip lock bag and suck the air out with a straw) and frozen.
