New brood

[Treetops]

Hey Grow Gang...
Pic of new kids...NorCalDaddysGirlxSourJack...Let the growin begin....

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

this should be lots of fun to watch, be sure to keep us updated ... nice to see you 'breeding', I expect a lotta 'hybrid vigor' with those two :thumbsup: ... be prepared for an early 'frost' :D

[Treetops]

Hey Reaper,
Is this what you mean, by the 'hybrid vigor'? These kids seem to be growing exceptionly fast...but maybe its just me...These have not been "schoosed" down in the rapid rooters like I usually do....

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

probably a little of each ... I still doubt the seedlings like 'scootching' :D ... as far as I know, hybrid vigor shows itself in every facet of development ... faster, bigger, stronger, etc. ... the first 'NorCal Daddy's Girl' blew me away, she just grew 'better' than my others, best way I can describe it ... I would assume that is characteristic of 'hybrid vigor' ... I'll be in Illinois corn country in a couple weeks, I'll ask my farmer buddies ... they explained the hybridized corn programs to me, was very enlightening to this old city boy :D ... again, good work, Treetops, I'm very interested how these turn out, as I was preparing for the same hybrid ... I think you have a potential 'Cup-Winner' there :thumbsup:

[dooobster]

This is gonna be good. I've got a little "breeding" project going on myself, so I'm gonna watch this one.
Hope ya get some girlies!!
Peace :hippy::rastasmoke:

[Dutch Pimp]

Party at Treetops place in 4 or 5 months....:rastabanna:

I want a puff of that NCDGxSJ...:thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Reaper,
From the way these babies took off I'd say they got "hybrid vigor" alright!! Out of 6 seeds they all took right off except for 2...which are still in the rapid rooter womb...cracked but thats it..slow growers...
Yes, and I have you to thank for the idea..as I enjoyed the Sour Jack almost as much as the NCDG..now together...I can't wait to see how great it will be...We will one day experience it together...:thumbsup:

[Treetops]

This is gonna be good. I've got a little "breeding" project going on myself, so I'm gonna watch this one.
Hope ya get some girlies!!
Peace :hippy::rastasmoke:

doobster,
pull up a chair...and maybe we can both learn some things from each other...I hope a girlie is there as well...as I didnt get many seeds..

:jointsmile:

[Treetops]

Party at Treetops place in 4 or 5 months....:rastabanna:

I want a puff of that NCDGxSJ...:thumbsup:

One day you will...we can only hope...:D

[the image reaper]

your plants must be doing pretty well, every time I talk with ya, you're out mowing ! ... :wtf: :D

[Treetops]

Yeah, Reaper,
They are on Auto-Pilot for the most part now...LOL..Gotta work so I can keep buying equipment...What a hobbie...
Kids in their new cribs/staging area....Using new "rocks"...lets see how this works...I'm likin how the new kids are lookin....nice and healthy....New net cups in order as the rocks catch on the sides and fly all over as you can see...

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

Maidenwell high-silica, eh ? ... a new one to me, must be similar to that 'Hygromite' high-silica rocks, I was trying to find locally (too expensive to pay freight on, heavy stuff) ... supposed to be the cat's-ass :thumbsup: ...

[Treetops]

Reaper,
Here's a pic from their site..showing how well it does...Time will tell...

[stinkyattic]

Sweet, I'm watching!

[Treetops]

Thanks Stinky for stopping by...Nice to know your checking on me....LOL.

[Treetops]

An update...This is one DGxSJ I have in the basement...temps 68 degrees....Enjoy..

[Treetops]

a couple more....

[Treetops]

Here is a Daddy'sGirl on the left from last November...plant on the right is the new cross..NCDGxSJ...
Enjoy..

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

looks like she's pulled some more indica influence from the Sour Jack, just the 'bottom' you may be looking for on the NCDG line ... nice, Tree :thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Hey Reaper,
How's things?...
Thought these might interest you...21 days old as of today....Under 1 100watt cfl.....Now if its a she we'll be all set...Chicken wire keeps the cats away...they annihilated my other DG last time..takin no chances...:(

Peace,
Treetops:D

[the image reaper]

interesting, besides wider leaves, they're carrying the original G-13 sawtooth leaf edges ... 'NCDG's recessive 'G-13' must be showing her stuff ... Warning: that plant may 'hurt' ya, be careful, :D ... 'hurts so good' :thumbsup: :jointsmile:

[Treetops]

Hmmm,...sounds like this is doing what you wanted....Lets hope the best is yet to come...

Cant wait to see how it tastes.....:thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Kids in they're new cribs...The "monster" is one of the same...dont know why it took off like it did...it was in the basement....cooler temps 68ish...with just a 100watt CFL..then to this cab yesterday...All the DGXSJs were started on 9/16....The DGs..on the 20th.....

Remoted my ballast, turned the light around..replaced fan...things ready for another winter grow...

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Tryin to show that the the 4 on the left are the cross's...NCDGxSJ...the 3 on the right are just NCDG...I am a rookie, but it looks like there may be a couple of different phenos here...Any thoughts?
Thanks as always...

Peace,
Treetops :D

[Treetops]

Hey Gang,

Kids are all a month old or better...except for the HS rear right corner...Using FoxFarm nutes...Gotta love it...

1st pic,DGXSJ on the left DG on the right..
2nd pic, The Monster..this plant is the same age as the others 1 month as of the 16th..I've never had a plant grow this big this fast...
3rd pic, Roots of the Monster..
4th pic Group pic of just the DGXSJ..

Thanks for stopping by....

Treetops :jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

Clone the living daylights outta that 'monster' pheno or use it in your next generation of crosses. That is a pheno worth saving, male or female, in some form, for its vigor and stature. That is an EXCELLENT looking cannabis plant. Which strain/cross is it?

[Treetops]

Stinky,
Thanks for your words of praise...I couldnt ask for more...
What it is...its a cross of the NorCalDaddy'sGirl with Sour Jack...it was the first one to crack seed...been growing strong like that from day one...

Thanks,
Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[stinkyattic]

If I had the choice, I'd back-cross it to a NCDG. My only complaint with the NCDG is that the new, young leaves are rather tender, and even though the plant clones fast, in sub-optimal conditions is is very difficult to harden off. Adding a set of genetics that shows very vigorous thick leaves would be beneficial IMO.

[Treetops]

Thats the plan, backcross with the NCDG,...Reaper and I had talked about doing this, I had some pollen, so I gave it a shot...this is the results...I like the results...Maybe this will do the trick in making a sturdier clone one day.. :D

[dooobster]

WOW Tree!!!! The monster is INCREDIBLE!!!!
All of them look good, but DAMN!!!! That sucker is a freak of nature.
Has it shown sex yet? As stinky said, even if it's male, you GOTTA carry those genetics on bro... I'd try to cross that with everything and anything I could!! LOL
Rock on Tree :D

[Treetops]

doobster,
Thanks for stoppin in and the nice compliment...It is a 'Monster'...no sex signs as yet...Too early as the pic will show...but its a keeper for sure...I would have to say it has that 'hybrid vigor" they talk about... Hoping as Stinky suggested to clone a couple and put some pollen aside for the future..cross back to a DG..this is a learning experience for me..We'll see how it goes...as of now thats the plan...

Hows things with your project? Hope its going well for you...

Thanks,
Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Hey Growin Gang,
I'm thinkin this 'monster' may be a she, Your thoughts please...

Thanks
Treetops :thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

my personal thought is that it's still up in the air.......but no signs of nanners either so that's a great start!

That IS a bushy beast. :thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Weedhound,
Thanks for lookin, appreciate you taking a peek with those experienced growin eyes....Took a few new pics tonight while adjusting the ph...Hope you see the same as I do..

[Treetops]

doobster,
I thank you for the congrats!!!...hahaha...I needed that...
I kept lookin till I found one...as the top, just looked female...I have been growin for 3 years straight now..and things just keep getting better...These plants are all much bigger than usual....I'm giving credit to the new 'rocks'..as everything else is the same...

Thanks for stopping in...

My girls are lookin spectacular. Day 20 or so of flower... They're getting little budlets all over, and startig to stink up the room... lol

I'll post an update pretty soon :) Stop on by, check 'em out!

[Treetops]

Hey Gang,
Took a few clones this afternoon...Looks like I may have 2 other 'girls'...Just a couple of pics...Kids in their cribs...full house..Ones on the left I'm LSTing..found foot long pipe cleaners at the local craft store they work like a charm..whats cool with them is, I have one wrapped around the can, and then the one I use, is between the cleaner and the can..all you have to do is cinch it down..the roughness of the pipe cleaner will hold down the plant it just the right increments that you may want..I use them for everything now..hangin lights,gauges,etc....Monster still chuggin along...lower leaves lookin wacky...take note....

Thanks for stopping by...
Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[d4twamp]

Tree, I gave ya some rep... impressive op you got going on there... SUBSCRIBED....Can't wait to hear the smoke report on your creation...IT"S ALIVE"...your like The Dr. and the NCDGxSJ is your Frankenstien...lol... Sorry, I'm into the Horror genre, specially this time of year...

D:thumbsup:

[Treetops]

d4twamp,
Thanks for the kind words and rep....I have to give Image Reaper props as well..He started it all...if not for him and his hard work this would not be possible...I'm into horror flicks big time, always have been...a smoke report you one day will have if I dont kill it first ...Check the pics..Any ideas as to whats going on now...Fox Farm nutes...mixed weak...leaves look like they are getting much thinner..changing big time...but still looking healthy...

Thanks for stopping by..
Peace,

Thanks for droppin in..
Later,
Treetops

[d4twamp]

Nice plants treetops...I just love them coffee cans I got some too I've been saving for I don't know what...Well maybe I do now..What's the most you've yielded out of 1 can...

Peace,
Treetops :smokin:

[Weedhound]

[Treetops]

Reaper,
That movie is a classic now...This one seems to have that look..but too me more of an Indica, fat leaf look..had to take off some lower leaves no room or air movement down there....Enjoy..

Keep on growin!!!

Peace,
Treetops :jointsmile:

[the image reaper]

Love to hear good news...

[Treetops]

d4, :)
Heres some more good news then...'Monster' clones first roots long enough to photo...I watch the ends for signs...this was there several days ago, but not so one could take a decent pic...had to wait..but its worth it...took 10 days till yesterday..which I dont think is bad...could be better, but I'll take it....

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[d4twamp]

Trretops is that an Oasis cube I see there...

[Treetops]

d4,
This is what they look like outta the net cup...just a rapid rooter from the local hydro store...Love em', whats nice about using them, is I can go from my 'cloner' right to the Folgers can..and the cutting isnt disturbed...I do peek inside once in a while to see how they are progressing...but not often...:D
Toothpicks are to locate the little buggers in their 'cribs'..

Treetops :thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Just an update...16 days in flower....Thought you all might want a peek...:D Thanks for stoppin by...:hippy: Treetops

[d4twamp]

I just love them coffee cans

[Treetops]

Me too....We use them for the kitchen scraps as well...then from there to the composter outside...Love my compost...One day a grow in that...its beautiful...I now only use compost and Fox Farm nutes on my lawns and flowers...best they have ever looked...

Treetops:thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

I love Fox Farms stuff too. :thumbsup:

[d4twamp]

Never tried the fox farm but you can't argue with good results...

[the image reaper]

hey, Tree ! ... at least for a little while, I have some internet access, can screw with ya some more :D

[Treetops]

I started out using ESU Greenleaves nutes..but I got sick of the house smelling like my hydro shop I buy from...If I could smell it so could everyone else..NOT GOOD!..Since making the switch, smell is gone...I have only good words for the Fox Farm products..

Treetops :hippy:

[Treetops]

d4,
Amen...Gotta love it..

Treetops..

[Treetops]

hey, Tree ! ... at least for a little while, I have some internet access, can screw with ya some more :D


Hey Reaper,
Glad to have you back...screw with me all ya want..LOL...thanks for stopping in...You are just in time for a group pic and several others..had to change some things in the cab, took everyone out..for some "fresh" air...
I pinned/pipecleanered all the fan leaves back, and helped get all the bud sites exposed, what a difference it has made..20 days in flower now...time approx...

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

Excellent, Tree :thumbsup: , but, I'm still hoping to watch ya switch over to the Folger's 55-gallon steel drums :S2:

[Treetops]

Excellent, Tree :thumbsup: , but, I'm still hoping to watch ya switch over to the Folger's 55-gallon steel drums :S2:

Reaper,
You keep your eyes on this and I may just show ya..:S2::S2::jumphappy:

[d4twamp]

Excellent, Tree :thumbsup: , but, I'm still hoping to watch ya switch over to the Folger's 55-gallon steel drums :S2:

I second that motion...

[Treetops]

Indeed!!! it would....but must perfect this method first...I'll get it yet....

Thanks guys...

[toxinn]

kudos to you treetops, those girls look great...i was worried about my small resivoirs until i saw your cans

[Treetops]

toxinn,
Thanks for your kind words...got me thinkin how much do my containers have of usable root water...well for a point of info, its 1qt plus 1 cup....on a 52oz Folgers container...
What size are your container?

Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Mornin All,
First time having a problem such as this...is this a N lack..only thing I've done different recently was add some molassess...please advise....Thanks all...:(

[Treetops]

Guess I should have posted better pics if I want a decent answer...Sorry guys...I'm such a stoner goes a long ways...Hope this helps to give me an idea...I am flushing now...roots were a glop of whatever...figured that was from too much molasses...they are looking better...

Again thanks,
Treetops :(

[the image reaper]

only a guess, but perhaps the molasses was 'suffocating' the roots ?? ... IF too strong a mixture, I could see how it could adhere to the roots, and not allow the airstones to get enough air to them ... ?? ... I ran pretty strong molasses ratios for awhile, no problems, but I had a recirculating system, with several in-line airstones ... maybe that let me get away with it ... glad to see them perking back up, regardless ... good save, Tree !:thumbsup:

[Treetops]

Hey Gang,
I have no exact idea as to what happened..only thing I did differently..I removed my fan leaves...she is recovering, but I'm not too happy...45 days in flower...some "frost" is starting to appear..but she is recovering super slow...I've been kinda embarrassed to even show her.....

Later,
Treetops :(

[macnasty]

dear heavens....

[Treetops]

macnasty,
Thats about what I've been saying these last many days....but by the grace of God, she will recover and be a most beautiful one....:)

Treetops :D
