Blue Dream and Space Queen (aka Green Crack) GROW LOG!

[martyrprojekt]

Hey Guys,

Yep...I am back to the clone stage...a new grow is here. I am sure this one will be enjoyable. So here we go. :jointsmile:

I picked up some nice Blue Dream clones...12 of them. I then picked up 12 Space Queen clones (aka Green Crack). I had a little watering mishap when I brought them home. Plants are fine now...no biggie.

Strain info:

Blue Dream - (Blueberry x Haze)
Flower time is 10 weeks (can go up to 12). It is a very high THC content plant and has been rated as some of the best medicine available by numerous independent review sites. The length of time for flower is undesirable...but the yield makes up for it. It should yield about 5-6 ounces per plant...according to High Times. A very nice Santa Cruz seeds blend...and I personally was floored for two days while medicating myself with a sample a buddy gave me.

SPACE QUEEN (AKA Green Crack) - (skunk #1 x Cali Indica)
Super fast bud time at 7 weeks. If growing in a room that gets to low 60's at night...you can expect some purple also! Very nice strain...great strain to cross with! Smokes very good with a high THC content! The Green Crack name comes from LA...was changed when it hit clubs to Space Queen. I have had this also...and I am a big fan.

Pics to come soon! :thumbsup:

Lets go Marty, I'm ready!! :smokin:

[martyrprojekt]

Here are the girls after week one of flower. Note the pictures below.

In this grow I am fixing my variables to obtain larger yields. 6 plants per tray, drip system, 3 part GH, and adding kool bloom...I vegged from clones for four weeks.

I am over 3 ft tall on the blue dream. almost at 24 inches for the Green crack. They are starting to stretch more...they always do this right before they flower. I love this GC strain.

enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:jointsmile:

[tinytoon]

I think you gonna be my new hero hehe :jointsmile:

[martyrprojekt]

Thanks tiny...looks like you and I are the only ones on this thread...so lets have some fun with this one.

I am posting more pictures tomorrow...the Blue Dream is already at 4 ft...Thank god I topped them.

I will giver an update with new pictures on Tuesday...Until then...let me know what you guys think of my setup...

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

looks good from here :thumbsup:
I'll throw in a couple pics of my babies that I just turned to flower today. Yes those are tomatoe cages I put in my tray. Last grow between weight of top of plant and fan inside tent they fell over, nothing broke they just fell over. Trying to give a lil support this time and see what happens.

Looking good guy's. Waiting for the light to come on to get some pic's this evening. Will post here and xmas bud.

Marty those tric's look mighty tastey. yum yum.

[tinytoon]

I think Loc has a trich fetish lol :jointsmile:

[LOC NAR on probation]

Love the ladies with the trichomes.

Here's some Hawiianxskunkxbigbud just starting week 7. It's just starting to bulk up. It really comes on in the last 2 weeks and shows tric's yum-o.

Trying to work the lighting out to get better pic's. more to come.

[martyrprojekt]

hey LOC....looking nice...Loving the trichs so far...

I do have a question for you though...Are you using plant yo-yo's to hold up your main cola's? If not, what are you using?

Btw...my Blue dream is at 4 ft...I am stressing now. All I want them to do now is bud... and for them to quit growing. LMAO! :jointsmile: If they grow a bit bigger, I am sure to find a way to make it work...I am just hoping I do not have to get to that point.

Talk with you guys soon...and I will post some pictures tonight...I am budding everywhere now...not just the first couple clones I threw into flower so I could have a pre-harvest smoke out in December! (I might have a green christmas after all...maybe a couple ounces). :stoned:

[martyrprojekt]

updates....updates...updates.

So I added a few flower nutes on this grow. I am still a GH 3 part fan. I felt I could add to the overall density, trich development, and flavor of my girls.

So to meet this need I added Koolbloom, Florablend, and Floralicious Plus...as recommended by my GH iphone application. What is the world coming to when your cell phone has all your grow nut schedule built in! LMAO! :wtf:

Also, I have posted some pics of my girls in week #4 of bud...these girls will ensure I have a green christmas!

Hope you like the TRICH pics LOC and TINY!

[tinytoon]

I'm drooling :jointsmile:

[LOC NAR on probation]

If there is a trichome center to the universe you must be right on top of it.

Where can i get the green crack ? Love those pic's.

[GetThisOrDie]

Damn dude... I think your ladies have more white powder on them than my sugar doughnut I had for breakfast.

Great looking strain! Question though... Do they put out alot of odor?

[martyrprojekt]

Loc --- what side of the US are you on? If you are near me...I can get you some cuttings (I have a great pheno for the GC). And, let me tell you...it floors me every time I smoke it. I literally have to smoke Friday night...so I can recover by Sunday.

Get this ---- More powder than my nose 10 years ago? More powder than a Columbian in Miami on "vacation." YES SIR...GC strain is the shit. I will be growing this more in the future. Now when it comes to odor (I run a huge carbon filter)...even with that...it still smells dank in my place when the buds are beefing up.

But, the great thing is that you can not smell them outside...But, when you walk into my special rooms (it is there).

( I attached some pictures of the main room for you all to enjoy. I hope that it makes your day knowing that I cant even fit the entire jungle in the viewfinder. LMAO! This bluedream is out of control!!!!!!:thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

wow ......... that kinda sums it up :jointsmile:

[qcstunta]

very nice!

[martyrprojekt]

Tiny...lol...it does sum things up a bit doesn't it?:wtf:

[martyrprojekt]

Here we go...Week 3 is almost upon me...Here are some updates:

Flower Nutes:

I am using Flora Blend, Floralicious Plus, Koolbloom, 3 part GH, and CAL-MAG.
Seems like a pretty sweet mix...I am not seeing any nute or tip burn (and I am being very aggressive with my nutes).

Anyways...enjoy the pics of my main room! :thumbsup:

[martyrprojekt]

SO My girls were are going to be in HIGH TIMES February issue...I am stoked...They are on the website right now under PIX of the CROP.

Anyways...here are some updated shots for you guys.

Not much to say. Plants look great...I am baked right now...yeah me!
I did start aggressive bloom nutes...and I am starting week #4 today! 4 more to go until my Green Crack is done...and 6 more until my blue dream is finished.

The aroma is going to be a killer for me. Much danker than the last grow. Eliminating the variables was a great decision for me!

Enjoy!

[tinytoon]

Gratz on the fame!! :thumbsup:

[LOC NAR on probation]

For the first time in forever I will have to get the mag again. Awsome Marty. The trich's are drippign off and you got that much time left ? Can't wait to see you type on those meds. LOL

[martyrprojekt]

I recently subscribed again...i was a subscriber in college. Forgot how much fun the magazine was.

I am loving these strains...and I can't wait to see how they look when they are done...of course by then, I will have my next grow ready to go into flower. LMAO!

And yes, my typing skills are quite effected when medicating.:thumbsup:

[martyrprojekt]

a couple pics for you guys who love the trichs...It looks like snow in my grow room! Yeah!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[smello]

:thumbsup::smokebong:

[GetThisOrDie]

Nice dude... Going to make some bubble out of all that trim?? Hope so!

[martyrprojekt]

actually...I dont make bubble hash. I grind up the sweet leaf and unusable buds. Set it aside. Then I take my leaf and trim and grind that. And I hook up a local bakery that is set up for compassionate consumption. It works best for me.

Update:

I am happy so far with this grow. Seems like they are doing well, and with the cooler temps this time of year I am able to get the plants to grow much better. And the yield looks fantastic as compared to my earlier grows.

I have dialed in the Green Crack strain. I am going to continue to grow this as much as possible. The yield is great, and so is the quality from the buds (as you can see from the pictures). With this grow I am going to continue with my drying and curing process also...so people can see what I am doing...and how I am getting such great results.

Hope you all are having a good Holiday Season so far...I can't wait for this NEW YEAR. Not just because of my Grow...but, because I get to smoke the fruits of my labor!

[GetThisOrDie]

That is very nice of you... whats the address and what time do they open??

lol just kidding!

But all jokes aside, that is very cool of you.

[tinytoon]

Show off!!!


hehe j/k looks real good there Marty and will be picking up 2/10 issuse of high times to see more of your work :thumbsup:

[LOC NAR on probation]

By the strength of our backs and the sweat on our brow.

THEY WILL KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO.

[martyrprojekt]

For thee my lord, For thee.
Teaming with souls shall it forever be.

I love the Boondock Saints Reference Loc...I got more to throw in at later dates.

[martyrprojekt]

Week 6 update:

Well I am in Week six with this grow...2 weeks left for the GC and 4 weeks for the blue dream. They are looking very hearty and I cant wait for these girls to be done! The smell is very powerful in this grow. More of the Blue Dream than anything else. This GC strain smells like fruity pebbles.

Check out some of the pics I am posting. Enjoy the trich heaven LOC!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[martyrprojekt]

I do have a question for you guys. Is there anything you can think of...that I am not doing that would yield larger grows AND BUD DENSITY?

any suggestions or comments are always welcome from the usual cast of characters! LMAO!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[hachiman6677]

NICE!!!! I had to put a dixie cup under my mouth to stop from shortin out my comp hahaha NICE GROW!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

what again are you using for a flowering agent and do you use a bud booster of any kind? other than that it looks like the area is getting pretty full hehe

[LOC NAR on probation]

I do have a question for you guys. Is there anything you can think of...that I am not doing that would yield larger grows AND BUD DENSITY?

any suggestions or comments are always welcome from the usual cast of characters! LMAO!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

We tried gravity and it can be tricky to use. It will also break your heart real quick. The last round with open seasame, beasty bloomz and cha-ching have made the world of dif in the density of the buds. We run them just a little shy of what the product says but with healthy plants full strength would be awsome. Kind of battleing some pytium at the moment and overall yeilds have suffered. Seems a bio-film of pythium builds up on all parts and the pyth is very hard to get rid of. Time to toss the tubs and by new ones.

[tinytoon]

sorry to hear that Loc. What is this pytium that you say your battling with??

[martyrprojekt]

I use GH 3 part, Koolbloom, Flora Blend, Floralicious plus, and Cal Mag. I know that I am getting 3-4 zips per plant dried...but, one can always strive for more (or is that just being greedy:D...lmao).

I am afraid to try other products from outside the GH line because I do not want to be over-nuting the girls with essentially the same chemical makeup. I am sure you guys understand the my dilemma, since making these changes would screw dialing in my system.

Perhaps as stated before in a previous post...that at 2 weeks of flower I need to up my feedings to 5 per day. Decisions...Decisions.

The smell is intense from these girls too! I wish there was smell-a-vision for me to share the stinky love with you all! :thumbsup:

Any more thoughts with my nutes would be appreciated. As I am curious about B'cuzz and a few others. Just dont know if it would be redundant.

[martyrprojekt]

One week to go...Cut a couple of my tops which were done. Spreads out the trimming work. Looking good so far. Weighed the two tops at 4 ounces each wet. Should be a great harvest! :D:D:D:D:D

[tinytoon]

Dam Marty I thought you went awol hehe

[LOC NAR on probation]

sorry to hear that Loc. What is this pytium that you say your battling with??


Root Rot is just pythium. It is everywhere but healthy plants over come it well. Once your system is infected it must be cleaned to the max. Seems plastics can be etched by nutes and general cleaning. The pythium can become embedded in the plastic as bio-film and you can not get rid of it with out going to extreme meassures. Cheaper to buy new ones and clean pumps in chlorox.

[martyrprojekt]

you guys will get the Christmas pictures later...

[tinytoon]

kk ty Loc thats what I thought but wanted to b sure :thumbsup:

[martyrprojekt]

Harvesting my plants:

Flush:

I started my flush last week. I know my flush is done and it is time to use my flushing treatment (florakleen) for two days. Once finished I cut my tops first.

Tops:

I eliminate all of my larger fans leaves first...then on to the smaller leaves near the buds. Then I give a rough trim of the buds giving them their rough shape. I make sure to trim up every leaf...as I feel the flavor and drying is much quicker for quality buds.

I usually give another one to two weeks of flushing (for bottom buds to swell a bit more). Then I cut those and trim these as well.

Drying:

I then take my buds and place them on a string in a dark (50-60% controlled humidity environment). I keep three rotating fan on the plants full blast for one week. When the stems snap when pulled...they will go into cure.

Curing:

I trim the buds again at this point making their shape, size, etc...to make them more esthetically pleasing. Cut them off the stems and put them into cure. My larger buds do not get cut (ever). Just a preference.

Curing is a one-4 week process of putting the buds into Mason jars that you get at your local grocery store. The time in cure is relative to the grower. And, it does matter. My personal smoke gets 4 weeks (minimum).

THEN...after this 4-8 week process is over...I get wasted while putting more girls into flower.

-----------------------------

Enjoy the pictures of my end product. SO far...my weigh in is at 3lbs 4oz of what is dried and cured. Got another 2 pounds before I am done with this harvest. I do recommend this Blue Dream for growing. Great product (fantastic yield).:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[mainegrown]

around october every year we get out the snippers and a few of my friends and i trim all of our outdoor crops.. talk about sore hands, it takes a lot to get sore while smoking a bong but ~10 lbs a day does the trick.. what a fun week we had this year. all of us grow and some have for years. this was the only way to make the trimming reasonable. it sucks to do it alone ya know??
hope you had fun and maybe some help cause it looks like it took awhile
happy smoking bro
-J

[tinytoon]

How many plants was that Marty??

[wingedson]

Beautiful grow Marty! I just finished some Blue Dream, and what a harvest man! Just over a pound on three plants. These girls like to grow tall, so I tomato cage them, and this helped me get about 5 fat tops per plant, with a lot of smaller buds throughout the outer rim of growth.

My only suggestion to you would be upping your base nutrient to around 1500ppm. This did wonders for my Blue Dream!

And for the root rot LOC, try some Hygrozyme, your roots will come out white, fuzzy and perky!

[Skihigh]

Hey marty...I now have another hero,Amigo!!!

[tcbjoker420]

Let me ask do you think these pics can get in Hightimes Mag. I submitted them last night. Oh and did I mention this are 100% Organic. From the nutes to soil. Black widow x2 in front, back left is sour grapes, and back right is blue dream. Thanks for any response. In Los Angeles. Charlie

[tcbjoker420]

Do you all think that maybe these could get into The Hightimes Magazine. The reason I ask is cause funny enough I submitted them yesterday and am wondering if it was even worth my time. These are all organic 100% and are clones from oaksterdam. Thanks for any input or advice, Charlie

Note: Both front ones are black widow, back left is sour grapes, and back right is Blue Dream. All are exactly 4 weeks and 4 days old!! (Sorry I messed up on earlier post.)

[martyrprojekt]

Allright,

Here is the answers to some of the posts. It has been a while since I have been on here.

Tiny, 12 plants...6 blue dream and 6 Green Crack. High Yields and great smoke.

Maine, trimming was a bitch...but with another set of hands it went quick.

Toker, i would suggest close-ups of your girls with the lights off! then, put your camera on flash. Just a thought...they look great though.
