Miss Stinky's First Grow Log =p

[stinkyattic]

[But not her first grow]

Hey all, it's time to finally document some of my [mis]adventures in the attic.

The votes are in, and after some consideration my next batch of seeds is going to be... (drumroll please)... PAPAYA!

My girlfriends are bugging me for more FRUIT in their diets. :D

This is going to be a continuation of my perpetual crop, so I'll be starting 6 or 12 seeds weekly, depending on space opening up in the grow rooms, but I'll try to follow the progress of the papaya, from start to pruning to sexing to cloning to havest.

White Rhino will probably be next on the list, then the week after, a Kush, then another fruit strain, then Power Plant, then maybe Haze, then bluemoonrocks, etc. going in the order fruity, yield, earthy, and so on.

Basic stats: Dirt grow, Botanicare nutes with organic amendments, veg under flouros then MH250, flower under HPS400 + HPS1000 as soon as the weather turns cooler.

First pics Monday.

[kush07]

All right my lady. I look forward to your bold adventure into the wild green yonder.

Happy Toking :rasta:

[babystarbud]

should be good :)
im curious as to how you configure the 400, and the 1000 together, do you use both on the same patch of plants, or do you have some under the 400 and some under the 1000, or do you rotate them, or do you start with the 400, then put them under the 1000 as they mature??

thanks

[stinkyattic]

im curious as to how you configure the 400, and the 1000 together,

Ideally they start under the 400 and move towards the 1000 as they mature, so they finish under the 1000.

In practice, whatever plant grows upwards fastest gets moved towards that end of the room sooner. That way the canopy is reasonably even. And I've been too lazy to tag my plants by date up to now.

Currently I'm not even running the 1000 because of summer heat, and using the 400 where the 1000 will be('departures' :D), and a MH400 on the 'new arrivals' side of the room.

[BlueBear]

Nice to check out a female grower doing a complete log. You women are so particular that it usually makes for a informative and amusing read. Don't disapoint us. LOL
Happy growing

....let me get my seatbelt on...

[Pass That Shit]

Stink it up :pimp:

[sdhall36]

Bring it on baby blue eyes! - Now we get to see growing pro-style!!!

The best of look mi Lady - Hall x

[stinkyattic]

Bring it on baby blue eyes! - Now we get to see growing pro-style!!! x
Oh no! Pro style!? Nooooo..... not a pro! Just a happy gardener!
And my eyes are hazel!

Okay, here's the update as promised:

Yesterday I moistened my seeds, papaya and my freebie dreamweaver x godbud.
That was around lunchtime, and this morning 3 of the papayas had already popped.
Method as follows:
2x20mL glass vials, one for each strain, washed with detergent and water, rinsed, and sterilized with rubbing alcohol ( to kill mold spores) and rinsed again with tap water.
Vials poured out leaving just a few drops of water in them.
Seeds placed in vials, labeled, sealed, and placed in my kitchen, ambient temps in the 70s.
Prepped nursery 6-packs, soil mix is mostly compost and perlite, just a touch of topsoil mixed in.
Vials shown below.

[invision]

Stinky with 1400 total watts you may want to think about starting out 2 cabs and have them timed to get a harvest every 2 months behind each other start plants in cab 1 (400) then move to cab 2 (1000) when they are 1 month into flower then start cab 1 all over :)

[stinkyattic]

Nope, it's not a cabinet grow, and I've already got a perpetual crop in my growrooms. Not changing anything. And I've got way more watts than that-
veg room has 8 tube flouros plus a MH250, which will be replaced by the MH400 from the flower room, flower room has a HPS 400 and a MH 400 that will be replaced by my 'winter' HPS 1000.
Grow areas are each 5x10 feet.

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, StinkyAttic! Look forward to seeing your grow. I've seen lots of your posts. I didnt know you were a girl for a little while. Very intelligent. Love your grows. Sad you haven't stopped by mine tho. :( I sure could use your expertise.

Anyway, will keep up with your citus grows. Should be nice and stinky. T'care.

TGF

[invision]

how does that work out for you im in the middle of doing a 2nd cab and was thinking of doing a perpetual grow with the cabs together

[stinkyattic]

how does that work out for you...thinking of doing a perpetual grow with the cabs together
Works out nicely.
Keeps me happy all the time.
There's always something to do- transplanting, starting seeds, harvesting, sexing, etc.
I enjoy being busy with a different project every day.
My harvest schedule works out to be around 4 plants a week (24 x 3-gallon pails + 18 5" square pots getting sexed) on an 8-week cycle in flower, and if plants take too long to mature, I just don't add new unsexed plants that week.
Similarly, in veg, they remain in that room until the nodes go alternating, and I start new seeds as needed to fill holes left by mature plants.

[stinkyattic]

Update, yesterday evening, 36 hours after moistening the seeds, the score is:
Papaya 10/10
Godbud X Dreamweaver 0/10, and not even a sign of splitting.

I looked up the latter on the seedboutique forum, where the breeder has a grow log. Seems he did a run of 30,000 seeds of that cross, that he calls 'dream goddess', but had some temp issues during drying, and low germination. I read between the lines that that is the reson they're being handed out as freebies... um, nice freebie. I'll update of course if any do happen to pop!

Anyhow, the papayas are all in dirt: 50% perlite 50% composted manure/humus. I'm expecting that mix to be a little on the 'hot' side with potential for slight burn, but it worked out for the BOG stuff I popped last month- they did get a bit burned, but 100% of them outgrew it quickly and growth was explosive after that.

[invision]

thats too bad freebies seldom sprout at a 100% rate other than that everything seems good.

[stinkyattic]

Those peppers- yikes, I've got more than I can eat, and the plants are still flowering, and they're coming in for the winter! I abused them, didn't fertilize, didn't weed, didn't stake them, only watered once all summer, when they got set out in the garden, the dogs peed on the plants, gotta say those are 2 varieties that I will ALWAYS grow.
You may know my feelings on garden plants by now; if it's indestructible, I'll grow it every year. Already gave up on tea roses in favor of shrub and rugosa varieties, I don't really 'do' stupid impatiens or petunias becaus I refuse to deadhead them, and even lifting gladiolus bulbs in the fall is kind of a stretch, so they're going in a bed right up against the cellar wall so they can stay in the ground all year. I once had my garden located atop a septic tank just for the heat! Everything grew like crazy in that spot!

[stinkyattic]

Update, the godbud X finally popped! 9/15 are in dirt now, waiting for the last 6 to pop.

[stinkyattic]

Update- one more godbud x in soil this morning.
The papayas have begun to poke out of the soil.
I took some pics of the setup to kill time during the boring, waiting stage we're in now:
First pic is an Afghan girl a month into flower
2nd is a bagseed x afghan with 2 weeks to go. She's hard as a rock.
3rd is my cloning setup, just a couple simple wick units. Easy.
4th is a whole bunch of BOG veggers about 6 weeks from seed. None has matured yet but I'm guessing they will be ready to flower in another week or 2.
5th pic is just my veg setup. It's a little messier than I should be keeping it, but I've been moving stuff around to make room for my hot pepper plants coming indoors for the winter.

[TheGreenFog]

Nice afghans, Stinky. Nice litte room, too. Is that a Santa Claus in the bgrd? ;) Look forward to seeing these little Papayas sprout. I'm going after Bubblegum & NL #5 next. Gonna post some of my ventilation pics later today. Stop by and visit! ;)

I love growing peppers. They are almost as hardy and forgiving as the cannabis plant, not that I grow cannabis, cuz I dont. I had so many peppers, I had to give most of them away to this crazy mexican friend of mine who eats them raw like a pickle. :eek:

TGF

[stinkyattic]

. Is that a Santa Claus in the bgrd?
Yup, he's my garden gnome. Someone left him on my front lawn one morning and I decided to make him my grow mascot.


. I had so many peppers, I had to give most of them away to this crazy mexican friend of mine who eats them raw like a pickle.
I have this one friend who was a cop, got fired from 2 different towns for basically being a little TOO quick to get in high-speed chases, is now a security guard and military reservist, so you can just imagine he's like mister macho, and last time he was over took a big bite of one of the corne di toro peppers--- "no, it's not hot" as his face turns red--- then a minute later-- "uh, do you have any milk?" lol.

[kush07]

I like your setup stinky. It seems to be well organized so as to not cause confusion. Very nice and the plants look pretty good. I have heard Papaya is a pretty good strain. I'm looking forward to see how they do. I would like a smoke report as well.

Happy Toking :rasta:

[stinkyattic]

Update, I'm going to fill you-all in on other aspects of my perpetual harvest projects too.

My projects last night were watering of course, checking for males of course, because those things happen daily.

I also chopped up all my accumulated dried trimmings from the past month and got them soaking in isopropanol, in glass of course, because it is nonreactive.

This morning I puttered around in the growroom, tended the seedlings, checked the progress of my clones, removed dead leaves from the cloning box and the soil in everyones' pots.

Some plants got a fresh application of diatomaceous earth.

We are supposed to have a frost tonight so I finished bringing in my garden plants. They all got sprayed off outdoors to knock off bugs, then allowed to dry on the front porch. I removed all the dead plant material on the soil surface and covered it with a perlite-rich mix and a sprinkling of D.E. Then they went into the flower room.

The papayas are doing okay, not much to report, they are stretched a bit as I expected them too as my light isn't ideal, but this always happens and I just bury them to the seed-leaves when I transplant them.

The godbud X are breaking dirt finally.

I'm also making a pot of goo hash, pics attached, it's just a homemade double-boiler with a glass top for the extract itself- easier to scrape and nonreactive of course. By the time I had to leave for work, it wasn't evaporated yet, but no biggie, I'll finish it tonight.

Pics are:
1) hash project
2) seedling area
3-5) peppers!

[kdspecial]

Sorry if you ahve already mentioned it..

just curious what the shite power is I can see on some of you plants? Is that to stop critters? from snagging goods form the leaves?

Looks awsome like usual

kd_Special

[stinkyattic]

The 'shite powder' (I love when typos make new words that make sense in context!!!) is Diatomaceous Earth, I'm just going to call it D.E. for shortness.

It keeps my thrip problem in check. It gets out of hand fast when I stop powdering and neeming.

Mostly I just use DE on the soil surface and neem on the leaves, but the DE gets EVERYWHERE, and I use it on the leaves in late flower too when neem is out of the question.

Sometimes it gets on the lower buds but I don't care because whatever, those are the ones I pollinate and after taking seeds out they just get binned with the hash stash.

[stinkyattic]

Oh and KD, here's one for you- my BOG kids are getting forced this week! I got impatient! [read: jealous!] :D

[kdspecial]

they lok sweet, how old are they? Are those the 2.7L Square pots? How many inches are those wide and tall? I have been looking for those at the stores.

KD

[BlueBear]

Hello Mam, He takes his hat off, old fashion or something. "Word on this thread is that you had a personal relationship with a group of afghans from the Middle East. Did they still follow the customs of their home land and ware a head dressing of sticky fat hemp fabric?
How long did they spend under your roof veging out on your banquet of fine organic morsels? Did they get too tall, or stretch out much before sleeping 12 hours a night? Did they consume allot of light, 1K or 400w? How many days did they mope around for 12 hours a day basking in the rays before they were ready to make theirselves a sacrifice on the alter of the great green Goddess?"
:Finally Mam, don't mean to pry so much." Fumbles around with his hat, pokes the toe of his boot in the floor, then asks, "Were they a fat bunch of girls? Did they put on some size, how much would you reckoned those girls weighed?" Blushes and looks sheepish.
Thank you Mam for your time, I hope I haven't offended you by prying so much.
So long Adieu

[floyd2zapper]

Hey Stinky,

Looking good girl gonna take that picture of my whole foot for you tomorrow lol.

Ps bet your glad you did'nt call your self (smellybasement) :) ;)

Take it easty stinky.:thumbsup:

[stinkyattic]

. "Word on this thread is that you had a personal relationship with a group of afghans from the Middle East. Did they still follow the customs of their home land and ware a head dressing of sticky fat hemp fabric?
u

The Afghan seeds were a trade from a friend for whom I built a rudimentary aero-cloner.

They vegged for 8 weeks from germ, like all my lovely hos.

Veg was under 2x40w flourescent tubes until 5 internodes, then under 1X250MH until 10" total height.

Nutes were good compost soil, beneficial fungi, fish emulsion, plus some fox farms grow big fed foliarly.

Lower-than-average stretch, and I saved a male for future breeding.

Nice wide fans, perfect Christmas tree form on the ones that didn't get topped.

The girl in the pic is 4 weeks in and has a beautiful frosting on ALL the single-blade leaves. She smells nice too.

She's doubled in height since 12/12

I haven't harvested any of the Afghan princesses yet, but I will let you know!!! They're definietly wearing sticky headpieces!!!

[stinkyattic]

they lok sweet, how old are they? Are those the 2.7L Square pots? How many inches are those wide and tall? I have been looking for those at the stores.

KDThey're 2 months from seed as far as I can figure, I went to Toronto the 1st week in August and sprouted them the next weekend.

Yup, those are the pots I like. The stores don't carry them except for the growshop, but they DO keep them around for their own use. So I just asked the lady at the nursery to buy a bunch of pots off here and she charges me 25 cents each! :D
I think 4-1/2x 6" tall.

[stinkyattic]

Hey Stinky, Looking good girl gonna take that picture of my whole foot for you tomorrow lol.:
Yay!!! Can't wait....


Ps bet your glad you did'nt call your self (smellybasement)
:
Hey, it was a close call man. I'm on exile from my "real" grow op until I can ditch my tenant. Ive got a huge-assed 2 room setup plus potting space and a water supply in the cellar, with a walk-out to the vegetable garden, that was producing like a mofo before my tenant got robbed and I got totally sketched out. They were just after cash, and never found the grow, but I decided to temporarily move to a more secure location.
But I do look forward to getting back down there and messing around with hydro again, just for giggles. You should see how totally lame my hydro table was, and how surprisingly well it worked!!!

[stinkyattic]

All right, questions answered- check.
Update:
godbud x are growing remarkably well. Growth is even- the plants look IDENTICAL!
Papaya I'm a llittle mad at myself. They popped so fast and I missed getting a couple in dirt before the taproots emerged, and I'm afraid I may have damaged a couple of the longer, more vulnerable ones. It happens. But the survivors look fine and have 2 sets of adult leaves and a third starting to show.
There was nothing to harvest over the weekend because the ones that were supposed to be done have decided to sprout donkey ears like a mofo. The temps are finally down in the 70s and my plants are thanking me. I spent half an hour this morning staking buds that had collapsed under their own weight overnight!
And the next seeds getting germed as we speak are...
White Rhino!!!!

[kdspecial]

Happy CANADIAN thanksgiving everyone....

Cool Thx for the Pot Info Stinky, I actully thought those pots were bigger. I have a set of 8 of that size pot. that isn't the pot size you use through the whole grow is it? How tall are your plants right now? Can't that pot only really only fit a good plant till about half a foot tall?

Or I guess a better questions to ask is how tall do you let your plants go in those pots? Will you do your Bog plants right through your whole grow in that size pot? 6" by 4.5 Wide. Thats like half a gallon eh?

I would love to use those in my Cab, I could fit way more. I just assumed it was too small to house a 1ft to 1.5ft plant.

justa side note. I think I can see the seeds starting to build on my Sexing operation I have going. The flowers are looking very unfamiliar more spiky looking than Bud looking. Ill post some picts hopefully tonight.

thansk for everything

kd

[BlueBear]

Thanks for all of the info MAM. Keep me posted on the Middle Eastern ladies.
What BOG seeds are you growing? Are they from the "Bushy Old Grower" who had seeds on IC Mag?
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

KD- I keep the kids in those pots right up through sexing. They usually max out at about a foot by that time and have not got too rootbound by then. Then they go into 3 gallon square utility pails that I got from a Mexican restauarant. They came full of delicious local sour cream.... mmm....

Bear- The BOG seeds came from Sacred in Toronto. They are BOG mix, plus Smashberry which is a 'plan B collective' product that the Bushy Old Grower was involved in. They look beautiful, and the guy at Sacred was nice enough to let me hand-pick the seeds from their stock.... needless to say, I got 100% germination and 100% survival!

Update- 3/10 White Rhino seeds popped last night.

Nothing to harvest yet, and my veg room is getting backed up as a result! I've got small pots of sexed plants stacked on top of the big pails in the flower room waiting for buckets to become available!!! The next harvest is gonna be a sweet one.

In the meantime, I'm just doing a little cleaning and reorganization, and I added a couple CFLs to the seedling area.

Temps in the last couple days have been 69-86F, and humidity 35-45% RH. Nobody seems to mind the fluctuation though.

[sdhall36]

Hey sweets - can I email you?

Hall x x x

[floyd2zapper]

Hi stinkattic, Your obviously a good experienced grower so i will be seeking you out to pick your brains in future.Keep up the good work l8er.

floyd2zapper

[stinkyattic]

Hey sweets - can I email you?

okay, but no fangs, 'kay?
I left my email under my chestnut stuffing recipe!

[BlueBear]

Thanks for the info on the BOG seeds, I here so many good things about them that when I get some more room I will have to think about throwing some into the mix.
Keep up the good work.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Bear- grab them while you can. There's almost none left anywhere.

BTW my Smashberries showed sex only 4 DAYS into 12/12, and they hadn't even gone alternate yet! Holycrapola.
Keeping the males, and I put the most vigorous female back into veg and pinched her to be a mother.

My bluemoonrocks showed up and I got ANOTHER packet of godbud X for free... actually I'm happy, they are growing VERY evenly.

[BlueBear]

Thanks for the tip. Gipsy had a fall out with BOG and Seed Boutique isn't carying them any more, but I think that sacred seeds is?
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Fall-out, really?!!! I was simply under the impression the old fart finally hung up his hat after years of hard work. Sacred had a real limited supply of BOG this summer, call them to see if they restocked. I think also that they will not mail seeds to the US. Bear, you're in Alaska, am I correct?

[stinkyattic]

Hey all, I did a bit of transplanting this morning before work.
As you can see, the seedlings are stretched a bit taller than is considered good form, but whatever; they will root from the length of the stem so I don't give a rat's hiney.

The following pics are from my transplant routine, 1-5:
1 and 2) Before transplanting I get all my materials together- soil, labels, pots, and very important, I sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth in the bottom of the kitty litter tray that the pots will go into to catch runoff. This will keep pests from breeding UNDER the pots, something that is easy to forget about as you concentrate on keeping them off the LEAVES.

3) Here's a shot of the roots poking out. I think these babies want a new home!!

4) To transplant from nursery 6-packs, let the soil become somewhat dry. To release the plugs, turn the 6-pack upside-down and support the dirt in the cells with your fingers. With your other hand, sharply tap the base of the cell that you want to release. It should either slide right out, or drop out with a gentle tug of the stem.

5) Here's what the plug looks like out of its container. Note that the roots are white and hairy, and are starting to get pot-bound.

[stinkyattic]

These pics came out really fuzzy, sorry.
Here's the rest.

1) Once the plug is out, place it on the soil that you have half-filled your pot with. Support and protect the stem with one hand while you pour the rest of the soil around the plug and stem with the other. A stretched seedling can and will sprout roots right up to the cotyledons, but you have to make sure it doesn't get a fungus from burying the stem in too-moist soil.

2) The last transplant step is watering-in. Don't press the soil with your fingers, but let the water do the work of settling it around the plug.

3) Here's a good shot of my protection, on the lookout as always for someone to drool on.

So anyway there's that.

The White Rhino are not germinating as I would like them to. Only 3 have popped after a week, and I'm concerned.
I started Super Skunk Saturday, and as of this morning, 9 have already popped and are in dirt. The last was kind of runty-looking. I managed to drop it in the dirt bucket, oops.

I found 1 more male from the BOG mix, and all the others look female that I've put into 12/12 so far, so that's um, 6 males out of 8, a healthy ratio in my book!

I think that's it; you know, just waiting for more plants to ripen. I took down a couple stragglers that looked like they were not going to really do anything to make space for more vigorous plants. There are a few massive colas in the flower room that I have to go in and check on a few times a day because they smell so damn good, and they've been falling over a lot.

Bud shots tomorrow!

[BlueBear]

Falling over? Hmm, I was a catcher in little leag, LOL. Maybe I could be there to catch the fruits of your labor? How long do you keep seedlings in those 6 packs?
That BOG thing is a big deal over on IC mag, I guess BOG caught wind that Gipsy was making F2's of Bog's strains and reselling them as Bog's breedings, so in the long and short, Bog was getting put over on, so they say.

Uh... if that is true, I think I just lost my main source for seeds. That's fucking BS IMO if Gypsy was doing unauthorized breedings and selling them as BOG; I'm going to look into that because now I feel uncomfortable about giving them my business.

Bear, if it isn't too much trouble I would like you to post a link to that discussion under the 'where oh where has the BOG gone' thread in strains and seeds, because it would certainly clear things up!

[BlueBear]

This is from BOG and can be found at www.icmag.com/ic/archive/index.php/f-19.html under Good by from BOG.

Goodbye from BOG
BushyOldGrower
MY forum will be closed soon because BOG Seeds will no longer be sold here and as Gypsy says, "Why keep your forum open then"?

I quite agree. Because we no longer have an agreement it seems a no brainer.

In fact you may not see much of me at other sites either for some time.

Don't anyone be mad. Its just a change and the reasons are just business concerns. My online presence will be much reduced in the long term as well but
the need for a new secret location is paramount now. The book sales are quite robust and the book will be my main business.

When this forum closed please dont be angry at Gypsy or DG or myself. I am sorry about this. BOG This is the link www.icmag.com/ic/archive/index.php/f-19.html to the archive of the BOG forums, if you go down to What and Where is BOG you will see some stuff like this, "Thats funny,last i heard Bog was at BCBD and has recently made quite a few posts,he is not retiring and is coming out with yet another run of sour bubble.he
has also said that there should be no stock of his left at the boutique and is claiming that Gypsy was making f-2's of his work and selling as Bogs."

plan b at bc bud depot
"Like rabbit said, and i do apologize on BOG's behalf! To make a long story short, BOG was suppose to be exclusive to gypsy, but too many lies and production
of fake seeds left BOG no choice! BOG has never had any problems with BCBD, or Canadians, or anything! BOG is a loyal person, and that is why for a long
time he never left gypsy, but now that gypsy is selling fake seeds and lying about stock and stuff, it was best that we spread our wings to honest people."

In the long run, who knows, but we just want to be as informed as we can when we are doing business with these companies, hope this helps some Stinky.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Couple quick updates...

-All the Super Skunk have broken dirt. One seems to have run its taproot into a pebble or something and the whole palnt lifted out of the ground. I re-set it but think it's going to die anyway.

-The slowpoke White Rhinos that I moistened like 2 weeks ago... one more popped today! WTF. They are at a good 76-78'F, moist, in the dark... shouldn't be takig this long but I'm thankful at this point to see them germing at all!

-Just started my freebie 'gypsys gum' from seedbay; bubblegum X somango.

-ordered a bunch of sweet tooth and SWT crosses from seedbay lst night.

-Topped a whole bunch of stuff that is technically not supposed to be part of this log, but some of it was the BOG mix and Smashberry, so it's going in here.
Here's what I did:
I've got NO space whatsoever left in my flower room; to the point, I've been reduced to putting 2 plants in one bucket if they lok runty, even though I usually think that is a bad idea!
So anyway, usually I pinch rather than fully top plants with the exception of breeder males. This time, since it's going to be a couple weeks before space opens up anyway, I topped off the terminal 3 nodes plus stem down to the 4th, and put them in my *NEW!!!!* ex-cloner. I hosed the plants down with wilt-pruf then with neem and gave them a drenching at 9AM, and after 12 hours took clones at 9pm. I sprayed them once more wioth wilt-pruf once they were on the cloner. This morning there was no sign of any wilt even though as I've said my humidity is like 35% and I'm not using a dome. I've just got one small CFL on them. Whatever, they should be fine.

What else... oh yeah, a bud shot as promised, with my favorite beverage as comparison. Yay, local microbrews!! Yay, IPA!!!

So the biggest news in my growing misadventures is that I ran out of space entirely and took over the dining room closet for mothers and clones. Who needs table linens anyway! :D

Here's a pic of the ez cloner that I picked up from the guy who I got the chocolate chunk from. I got it for $100 plus weight of some of my juicy yummy homegrown.

As you can see, a couple of the slips that are in it ARE from budded plants- kind of an experiment to see if I get better results rooting flowering plants with this thing. When I got flowering plants to root in my old wick cloner, they came out really lame and just sort of sat there with no new growth until the damned thrips ate them.

The last 2 pics are
-4 week old plants vegging happily
-another Afghan pic for Bear. Plant porn! Too bad my camera sucks, but the whole plant including the smaller fan leaves looks like it has been dusted with snow. And for all the newbs wondering what plant is hardy and easy to grow, note that this girl has been flowering about 6 weeks and shows NO SIGN of insect damage or deficiencies. That's very unusual in my garden, as I stop treating for insects after 4 weeks flowering.

[BlueBear]

Did you say you were 28 in the Growers Lounge? Just wondering.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Yup. I graduated University in 2000, moved to Alaska (worked out of Dutch Harbor... WOW what a place.), moved back, got a job in academia, and bought my house in spring 2004. Never looked back.
My job and the apartment that I rent downstairs pays for the mortage and car, my little garden pays for my food and heat. That's why I get so bent out of shape about punks saying, "oh, I found this plant growing wild, think I'll take it...." Bottom line, steal my plants, steal my heating fuel, my gas gets shut off, tenant moves out, lose the house. No brainer.

[BlueBear]

Well, sounds interesting. If all of those bad things ever happen to you, you can move up hear and we'll open a garden store with an Alaskan Seed/Strain business, LOL.
I have some college, history major. Had too many family obligations, but maybe I will get to finish some day, history, philosophy or literature, who knows.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Sounds fantastic, or we could get a bunch of people together and do a for-profit tourist-trap organic farm/dude ranch with fly fishin, horseback trekking, getting eaten by 2 pound mosquitoes, whatever it is that tourists in Alaska enjoy!

Hey why wait on school, you sound well-spoken, time to start your novel instead! :D

[BlueBear]

LOL, that may work. I hear you can get 20 acres of tundra for pennies on the dollar and the land is already stocked with the state bird, I mean mosquitoes.
Novel? What are you a psychic? I have a few unfinished projects laying around. I think that I live in the past a little too much to stir the imagination of our fast food, gimmy, gimmy generation, not that I am as deep as the ocean yonder, but who knows, perhaps I have an old soul or something.
Well Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Tundra, mud, skeeters, mmmmm..... sounds like the LIFE!!!! Plant a couple trees for me now so when I retire they MIGHT be just big enough to hang a hammock between with your 3 week growing season ;)
Man, every time you say 'adieu' it sounds so... FINAL... like we're never going to hear from you again! How's about 'a bientot'?
Okay, we have to think what you can do with 20 acres of tundra... other than sit on it and listen to the mud gurgle.

I guess I'd better update my grow log too to stay sort of on topic...

The Gypsy's Gum I moistened day before yesterday is popped and in dirt.

Clones look excellent; they are living in the new addition to my grow empire at 71 degrees F and 50% humidity, a lot higher than upsatirs.

The very most exciting thing is that this morning I found LADYBUGS in my indoor garden!!!!! This is just super awesome. I consider it very good luck for them to find your plants, rather than having to bring them in yourself.

So they are in there wandering around, I imagine feasting on thrip larvae, and just looking kind of cute (for a big).

[BlueBear]

� bientôt? Well, with my vision problems, I don't use many frases like See you later.
I hope Adieu isn't too dramatic, just a habbet at this point.
Adieu

[orangeman]

Little did you know Stinky, but I've been waiting to see some plants from you lol. They look lovely and your grow room looks so neat and nice. Excellent work :D.

[stinkyattic]

I think the grow room looks neat because my camera is so bad, lol!
I'm really glad you dropped by to this log!

[kdspecial]

Yeah this is A good log. I love reading in this one. Its very distracting from my work. hahahahhaha

Right now I should be editing this TV Show... My garden and yours is way to distracting to keep me working. Plus I just got the new Tragically hip album and its rocking right now at the studio.

[stinkyattic]

Over the weekend I started 3 seeds of each of the following:
BOG Black Indica
Some supa dank 'headie' bagseeds
Hindu Kush
and something else I forgot.


The cloner is chugging along and there are good roots forming now, after 8 days.

Dark temps in the growroom are dropping to the point where one of the afghan mixes I harvested this morning was showing some purpling of the bud leaves.

The silly dog got into the plants again and did some topping for me. She only ate some shitty bagseed experiments that were about to get culled anyway, as they turned out to be WAY too much sat-leaning.

The first of the smashberries went into its final big bucket, and so did a couple of the unknown BOG mixes, and one of them has this UNBELIEVEABLE grapefruit odor when you brush the leaves. If the buds are near as fruity, that's gonna be a mom!

[BlueBear]

Any hope that you'll send me a thanksgiving care package and accidentally spill some beans in it. It would be a real thanksgiving to remember.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Yeah, I'll send you a crock of gool ole' Boston baked beans :D Well maybe beans that will get you baked anyway.. Still looking for nice cold-hardy strains... wonder if there are any local unnamed strains in AK that fit the description.... ??? heh heh why don'tcha send me an email!

[BlueBear]

What's the addy for a email? Post in the 907 area code forum if serious, less trafic.
Adieu

[dutch.lover]

sweet thread. im amazed at the scale and precision in which you are growing! what are u doing to control odor?

[stinkyattic]

what are u doing to control odor?

Nothing, nada, rien.

It's a stinky attic! :D

Seriously, It's on the 3rd floor of a house built into a hillside with a walkout basement, so essentially the 4th floor... high wind area... only neighbors are yuppies... can't smell a thing from the yard, and if you got close enough to be snooping my bulldog and my tenant's mastiff would eat you.

So the answer to privacy is, scope out your grow spot with that in mind.

Here's some bud porn for the morning! First pic is the first half of this week's harvest, and the second is a nice bud shot from a bud I took down before work today.

Next is some of my other crop! Mmmmm... cherry bombs!

The last one is for all you Aqua Teen Hunger Force fans out there.... my BF, my friend Khaki, and myself got baked Wednesday night and built ourselves a BroodWich.

[kdspecial]

Looking Sweet Ass,.,,,,,,

[stinkyattic]

Well nothing much is going on in the grow room but...um.. growing...
The Matanuska Thunderfuck stash seeds that a helpful Alaskan expatriate sent along have popped and broke dirt this morning. Just about the right time of year too because I have much less control over temps in the winter up there in the mostly UNINSULATED attic... aargh. So a cold-hardy variety is going to be in order.
I'm a total space case, but I'm going to try to list what I've got going in there in order of age, oldest to youngest.
My own mix (lots of plants)
A friend's 4-way knockoff- just 1
A friend's Haze x- also just 1
A couple Afghans, one topped, one 'natural'- the natural one is much nicer looking
All of the above are within 1-3 weeks of harvest

In flower, not really developed yet are:
A crapload of my own crosses
3 BOG plants- 1 smashberry, 2 unknown

Then more of the same getting sexed

Then in veg, I've got these that will be ready to force within the next couple weeks:
More BOG mix, recuperating from having clones taken
More of my crosses
Some assorted bagseeds... some that look too sat-dom are getting culled tonight, for real, I keep putting it off!
6 Papaya
10 Godbud x dreamweaver
10 Gypsy's Gum

Then the little guys
White Rhino, just a few- had problems with germ rate on those
3 Chrystal
9 Super Skunk

And finally the babies!
3 BOG/PlanB Black Indica
3 BOG Bluemoonrocks
3 Hindu Kush
All of the above are hinting at purple traits!!!
12 Matanuska Thunderfuck
Plus a few bagseeds from a friend that I expect to be FANTASTIC.

So this is how I keep things interesting, just starting a few different seeds every weekend.

Oh, and I caught aphids and greenhouse whiteflies because I was fucking lazy and forgot to run the new pots I scrounged out of the dumpster at a local nursery through the dishwasher first. I mean, WOW, I'm a friggin moron this week.

So the biggest excitement in my life for the next few days will be battling the hungry hordes of leaf-sucking insects....

I can only count my blessings that I only got 3 of the 'big 4'.... no red spider mites. Thank goodness.

Just for everyones' info, though, my preventative neem oil treatment, spraying all the plants down at least once a day, is working. The bugs are only eating my basil and hot peppers. No damage on the ladies.

[kdspecial]

Sounds like you ahve been doing alot of things,, mainly typing hahahaha just kiddin'

please please Never call yourself a Space case or a Moron... you have tought me pretty much all the main important shit I know. You deserve more respect than that.

kd_special

[stinkyattic]

No really, if you hung out with me on a daily basis and saw me this week you'd call me a space case too. I'm really off my game for some reason. I've been trying to cut back on the caffeine and I think it's hurting my ability to even function normally. I give up... someone get me a shot of espresso....
*gulp*

[kdspecial]

I used to rock lots of coffee... but It makes my gut rot... We havea swet espresso machine and coffee maker at work.. I can have as many as I want.. I used to love the half hot choclate and coffe mixes

Now I drink mad Green tea... like I mean close to 10 or 12 a day... im sure they are loaded with Caffeen. We had a asian Coop student helping here at the studio and she turned me onto it. i think its better for me than coffee but I could be totally wrong. ither way it don't give me gut rot and its awsome first thing in the morrning....

I never really liked the taste of coffee untill I drank like 3 in a row.. then they started tasting soo soo good. kinda like Cigarettes but Im super glad I didn't keep pulling on those fukers in high school.... I'm so happy I don't smoke butts... i can't stand them.. Seen them kill so many family members..

kinda oof topic of growing but whatevs.... ahhaha sorry for the RANt!

kd

[stinkyattic]

I think green tea is much better for you than coffee even though it still has caffeine. I used to work at a Korean-owned steakhouse and my boss told me that every day you should drink green tea, and eat fresh raw ginger and garlic, and a teaspoon of sesame seeds for your health.

Weedman, thanks! Pics are coming up tomorrow once I charge the batt on my camera.

I'm ordering a HPS 600 from InsideSun today and toying with the idea of going to a SOG perpetual setup using 6x6x8 pots on tray tables. I have to think aout it some more. The 3-gallon buckets are a pain to lug up the stairs and move around, not too bad, but enough, and I am having a hard time keeping the canopy even.

We'll see. It will be easier once I pick out a few good moms and have an endless supply of cloned to work with.

[stinkyattic]

Lemme wrap up this mango and rub leathers
lol, what's that mean?


stink_in_a_tick good goin!!
Hey, if you can call me stink in a tick, I'm going to have to start calling you MERDE de vert!!!! :D

I've gotta run but everyone have a good evening and enjoy the good herb.

[Racerx]

Are you doing a 600 digital? Please consider it if you havent already. Cooler temps, less energy, more lumens...horah!

I want some pictures!!! Sounds like you have quite a list, love to see some of em.

[stinkyattic]

You're going to laugh at me but I actually WANT more heat. Right now at least...brr.
I was kinda surprised the the 600 at Inside Sun is so pricey comapred to other lights... I might go see if the guy at my fave growshop, Liquid Sun in Holyoke MA has any used trade-ins. And if he has any more habanero pepper seeds!!!! Mmmm! Everyone LOVES peppers.
Okay, here's some pics.
#1 is the papaya kids at however long it's been since I started the thread.
#2 is a BOG unknown at only 10 weeks.... thing is vigorous, lol. To her right in that pic is my pretty little afghani girl gettin' frosty.
#3 is those godbud x dreamweaver freebies. They've sent me like 60 seeds so far and I have to say they look pretty good, so who's complaining? :D
#4 is a tomato plant and some hot peppers that got ravaged by aphids last week. Fuckers.
#5 is my growing seed collection. The 'foxy' packets in the bottom L corner are my own design.. kind of putting the cart before the horse, but I got stoned and creative and made the woodcut for it- all without cutting any fingers off! I'll post a better pic of the design if anyone's interested. A couple peeps will be seeing it soon enough anyway.

So in the mail yesterday I got some more beans from seedbay and seedboutique:
Hashberry
Moroccan x Afghan
Purple Star (started last night, in dirt this morning!!! Wow!)
Bogglegum F2s
Spice of Life seconds.. supposed to be Sweettooth 3&4 and Blockhead

Then freebies....
MORE godbud x rofl
More stonehedge
More gypsys gum
and AKITA... it's supposed to be (annac x stakonia) can't find info on either. But I moistened them last night. BIG healthy spotty beans that look like they are gonna be some real hardhusks like the white rhinos.

I'm expecting something from Rushman this week too... we'll see if he still had what I wanted in stock!!! Can't wait.

Oh, the pest infestation is under control. Phew. No damage to the cannabis, but my peppers are hurtin'.

[hemlockstones]

I really enjoy your thread. Keep up the good work.

Peace
:smokin:

[stinkyattic]

Thanks Hemlock!!!
Well last night I had a look at the most recent acquisitions and as expected, the Purple Star popped and the Akita did not, so I took the seeds out of the vial and scraped along the root edge with the blade of my pruning shears... sure enough, this morning, I've got evidence of germination! Wow, those were some big gnarly tough beans. I hope they have a tough plant inside! :D

[Weed4Life]

Sweet grow! Hopefully my Papaya's luck is as good as yours,but I only have a 400w hps for flowering. I am also growing Bubblicious, so I have 4 Papaya and 4 Bubblicious about 11 days old. I had planted a KB seed I got from a friend and it showed signs of germination but never grew once in soil. Ohwell. Heres my babies.

[stinkyattic]

Well, it's time!
My 2 month seed-to-forcing schedule is right on track.
Some space opened up in the flower room over the weekend and I put the 3 largest Papayas in flower this morning!
:D
Let the countdown begin!

Hey Weed4Life, you're going to have a much higher watt-per-sq foot number than me, I've got 35-40 cannabis plants plus a bunch of garden vegetables under only 2x400 bulbs in the flower room right now! Don't worry, you'll get buds.

[Dutch Pimp]

...during my first grow...I transplanted from 4 to 6, to 8 and then 10 inch pots for flowering. I love transplanting (gives me a chance to see the roots)...but I have read, this is not needed? opinions? Go directly to 10 inch?

[stinkyattic]

I think a good grower should be able to transplant without shocking the plants at all.
I also like to look at root development, and pat myself on the back when I nail the transplanting time... lots of roots showing, but not real rootbound yet.
IMHO the most efficient use of space in an indoor grow is to keep the canopy as full as possible... so keep the plants in small containers until they are just busting at the seams! Well not THAT long... :D
I just don't want to walk into my grow room and see DIRT in between the leaves. Just solid, leafy green. I've even been a very bad bad girl and put 2 plants in the same big bucket for flowering if the plants are too scraggly and runty. Spank me!!! :p

[stinkyattic]

35-40 is quite a few. But you still doin gud. I have 60 in 6.5L pots under 3*600W. The buds are quite whispy/fluffy/airy. I'm after denseness atm. Using an array of chems to try and achieve beyond ordinary goals...... My bud density got better when I started giving carb supplements, even with the crappy amount of light I have. I've been alternating between Sweet, TopMax (expensive and fuckin awesome, OMG!!!) and just molasses.


Big Butt, The quality has improved automatically with the employment of all these ripp off products.
Heyyy! Who ya callin' big butt (accurate, BTW!)


I just wanted to say Stink-in-a-tick one last time!! Good luck stinky and dun't call me shyt of green pleaze as I find it overly offensive LOL not.

Whatcha mean one last time, you going somewhere? Okay, I'll play nice... but you know, I pay a lot of money for poop... it's a POSITIVE thing...bat poop, cow poop, fish poop... None of it is vert though. It's mostly gris or brun. :D

[TheGreenFog]

Lookin' good Stinky. So, carb supplements? I'll have to write that down. Dense buds are where it's at. Have you seen my broken plant? :( Have you ever snap any top cola stalks before? Did they always come back? How did you deal with it? Big butts are sexy. :p Nice plants. Soil...and organics for the win, eh?

Aww, I saw your poor plant, it looks sad! All her buddies look nice though! I never snapped a top cola, but I have snapped my share of side branches- BBQ skewers and duct tape are a plant doctor's best friends! But it was always really early in flower. Or still in veg. Don't know how much luck you'll have with that big bud up there, hope it works though, that would be great.

Soil, carbs, organic supplements, a foundation of good chemical ferts too because I am trying to use up 5 gallons of PowerPlant/PowerFlower!!!!

[Dutch Pimp]

...hell..I snapped 4 out 13 top cola.....didn't do anything about it....3 days later..they just turned back up towards the light ...and by the time of harvest..had made a complete U-turn up.....No Harm...No Foul......

[stinkyattic]

I have a bottle of Carboload, which hasn't been opened that I'm lead to believe is a simple by-product of sugar production stuffed in a bottle and labled. Sounds like molasses to me. .
Yeah, no shit, but somehow it's like $40 a pint! :D To their credit there's other stuff in there too... but... :thumbsup:


So anyway TGF I like your new avatar... The Green Frog... lol!

Well I spoke too soon, my pretty Afghani girl bent over under her own weight last night and the top cola's stem got folded right in half... there's no stem exposed above the break to stake, tape, whatever so I used utility clips and clipped some of the small bud fans to a stake. She's fine! No wilting.

An update to my garden:
Absolutely NOTHING is going on. Boooo-ring!

[BlueBear]

I hope that the Afghani girl that is getting too top heavy may be having some ken come my way? I would love to have a row of big bud/butt girls bent over in my grow room. LOL
Keep up the good work Stinky Purr, Purr.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

I would love to have a row of big bud/butt girls bent over in my grow room.
I crossed her to a BOG plant. The resulting spawn will be little dervishes! With fat asses.

[BlueBear]

I am getting hot, I think I need to step out in a snow bank and smoke a fatty to cool off.
Also, the little grimlyn is up for school so I must attend to my fatherly domestic duties.
Good day to all and Adieu to you Miss Stinky, for now that is.

[stinkyattic]

Morning all, got some new pics for ya.

#1 is my way of staking a plant that is like a solid bud all the way up. That's the Afghan that is furthest along. Her top cola flopped over 2 days ago. She's fine, phew.

#2 is the Godbud x vegging under 4' cool white tube flouros, just 2 of them; I allow the plants to grow right up into the fixture. They seem to actually enjoy it!

#3 is a view from above the MH250 area of my veg room.

#4 is a tomato plant that is getting kind of out of control on me!

#5 is 3 beautiful, vigorous BOG ladies less than a month into flower and already showing trichs ON THE FAN LEAVES.... holy crap.

[sdhall36]

pic #5 - nice pic!!! Great, as always.

Gee Stinky!! I can't see you but I'm in love. I can see the wedding band on the left, so I gotta ask if you have a daughter with common interests who's about my age 26, ....
Stink-in-a-tick! I just can't help myself you little scotch bonnet you!
Sky of blue and sea of green,
I'm attaching a pic of my left hand.
Here's the inventory:
One Chanel logo ring
One blinaglicious-yet-cubic-zirconia (hah ha everyone thinks it's real!) monstrosity
One man's pinky ring that I just could not resist, totally covered with Kilz oil-based interior primer
Hmmm....no wedding band!!!
God forbid that I should have a 26 year old kid at my age; I'm only 28 and no offspring yet!

[Bree1978]

I was thinking your hand looked awful young to have a 26yr old child, lol. If so I'd have asked your secret to youth (MJ maybe........lol jk)

[Splifted]

Man stinky, your plants are amazing. Keep up with the pics, I've been enjoying this thread. You should see all the tops on my retard from where I fim'ed all 7 or so of the main tops that formed from LST'ing then LST'ed those 7 tops. 48 at last count. The 4 girls are gonna be visible from space by the time these rhinos are ready to flower. Also, I have my first mutant from those Rhinos germinated. Crazy two headed mutant motherfucker with 5 total cotyledons between the 2 heads.

Ps: You'll recognize who this is once you see my kittah in future pics, had to change names for security reasons.

[yabatab]

It's about time you showed us a grow log, you have brought
my attention back to the grow forums, keep up the good work.

Visible from space... hey, you're just INVITING the aliens to come down and take all your weed! Better get some anti-detection foil....



Ps: You'll recognize who this is once you see my kittah in future pics, had to change names for security reasons.
Can't wait.... yeah, you seemed too far into this to be a new guy!

Thanks for the support! I'm having a lot of fun with this thread. But be warned...perpetual harvest=neverending grow log!!!!
Hey Sundance... you'd better buy a new server!!!! The old one's gonna be full by the time I'm done!

Hey, Stinky. Wanted to drop in and say "nice pics" girl. I like your set up. Nice and garden-ey. Nice bling too. So, no wedding ring, but you have one on the ring finger...I think that's what he meant.

Thanks about my avatar. I just got tired of correcting people when they called me Frog, so I thought it would be cool this way. I've tried several subliminal hints to get people to say my name right, but they just don't work. :( So I have succumbed. :p But not for long. Gonna eventually post a good 'self' avi on there someday...maybe. lol ;)

Well, I'll keep checkin' in. Gonna try to go update my thread here soon. Got several sets of pics to add in. (Between mine and your threads, we're gonna overload the servers!) :)

Hey stinky, how long does it usually take a pepper seedling to break the soil? I planted a few just straight in dirt a week ago today. I also germinated some in a paper towel, and had a few sprout decent roots, I planted one of those too like 3 days ago. I guess I'm just used to pot which pops a root in like 18 hours and leaves in 2 days. If these peruvian purple chiles turn out to be as cool as they sound, I could mail you a few beans if you want, i have like 50.

Also, what kind of pepper would you say is the best for indoor growing, or do all perform about equally or what? And what's your favorite pepper period. Lol, sorry, I just got this raging boner for non-pot gardening like a month ago, and I have questions:dance:

[Weed4Life]

I am 27 and no offspring either, BUt I hope to have taller plants and yeah, defenitely some buds from mine. I plan on cloning later on in a wick cloner. Keep up the good work Stinkyattic. Love Ya!! Muahhh!!!

[stinkyattic]

Hey stinky, how long does it usually take a pepper seedling to break the soil? ..... If these peruvian purple chiles turn out to be as cool as they sound, I could mail you a few beans if you want, i have like 50.
I usually get seedlings in just over a week.
Sweet on the beans!!!

Also, what kind of pepper would you say is the best for indoor growing, or do all perform about equally or what? And what's your favorite pepper period.
I LOVE Italian cherry bombs. Peperoncini. Does fine indoors, little pretty fruit, bushy plant, hot enough to make your friends cry. And that's the goal, right?
:D

So I got a mutant, one of the Purple Star sprouted 3 cotyledons and 3 blade leaves!!! But no pics, my digicam sucks.

[Splifted]

Lol, last hint, it was an An and i had a new bag-seed grow.

[stinkyattic]

Lol, last hint, it was an An and i had a new bag-seed grow.

Okay, you're not Opie... let me think. Oh duurrrr A.a.h.ma I know who you are!

[Splifted]

Also, what kind of pepperocinis? I've seen different ones, but I know i like the ones they give you with your pizza from papa johns :thumbsup: Lol, when i used to deliver for them I'd load up like a handful of peppers on top of the pizza box in the hot bag and munch on them while I drove around. I smoked more weed delivering pizza than I had at any other job lol. Like a non-stop route.

I dug up a few seeds to see wtf their problem was (from the experiment cup with all the seeds in it) and they actually had almost an inch of root, but they had worked themselves an inch below soil. I re-planted it like 1/4 inch below the top, just for shits and giggles.

[stinkyattic]

I usually stick a couple in each hole so I can cull the runty one.
I don't know exactly where you can get them; I got mine at the christmas tree shops in Massachusetts.. the packet was all in Italian... "Peperoncini Calabrese"... little, perfectly round, intensely red. Let me go do a search of seed catalogs and I'll remember to take pics of my peppers over the weekend.

[stinkyattic]

http://www.rachelssupply.com/pepper.htm

Here they are!!
prod # PEP115 are the hot round ones
#PEP061 are my other fave, corne di toro... the most beautiful long sweet/hot peppers you ever saw.
I think I'm going to order the dwarf bell peppers from them! SO cute, only 55 days, wow!

[Splifted]

Well, the purple one is already above ground even though it wasn't germinated in a baggie first and was planted a few days after the others. The cayenne I transplanted a single germinated seed of to a large pot is barely lifting the dirt and I can see it but its not out yet. And the jalapenos have about 3 popping out of the same pot that look just like the cayennes. Lol, hopefully I kept track of which is which, I kinda fucked up my labeling system. I guess I'll be able to tell which is which soon enough. So about 4-5 total sprouts. Also I transplanted another one of the purple seeds I was germinating. They are the only seeds I've ever germinated that have their taproots turn fuzzy (like little hairlike roots) while in the paper towel. I know the roots haven't been out of the seed for over 24 hours cause I checked them yesterday. No wonder that fucker popped fast. Even that cayenne I dug up didn't have furry roots and it was like an inch long.

[stinkyattic]

Peppers are so much fun.
I'm taking off for the long weekend, probably just up to Vermont to drive around and hit the microbreweries, but I'll be away from the boards.... Have an awesome weekend everyone!!!
:D

[Splifted]

Deuce stinky. Drink one for me.

[Splifted]

Fuck yes. All sprouted. The purple ones turned green first then completely purple after not even 1 day! 4 Jalapenos sprouted in one cup, so i pulled up two of them to give the others room, and then i got 1 cayenne sprout. I'll post pics when i can. The purple one is so cool! OMG dark purple w00t

[crazywill]

Hi Miss Stinkyattic
Thanks alot for that seed site of Pepers.I grow a veg garden every year and I want to grow some pepers that you dont get all the time.I just wish my bean garden would do as good.Have a great weekend and drank one for me too.
I bet all the leaves are truning up there too.Not too hot and not too cold,just right.Have a great weekend.

[stinkyattic]

It's getting hot in here with all this talk about peppers. I wonder if eating all them peppers make one's poop hurt. What? I was just wondering.
That would be a resounding YES. I call it the Afterburner Effect. Reminds me of the worst hangover I ever had... I was celebrating moving into my new house... just closed on it a few days earlier, no furniture yet, my bud and I were sitting on 5 gallon pails of joint compound and drinking Bloody Marys with Vietnamese chili paste in them.... HOLY HOT CRAP... you can only imagine the pain we were in the next morning.


Does anyone, Stinky, have the recipe for maintaining healthy mothers and producing strong, well rooted, clones?
I'm gonna have to say a good regimen of mostly organic ferts so the soil doesn't go all to shit with salt buildup, and a good dose of pinching and training to make the most possible side branches, plenty of water, and no fertilizer for the week before you take clones. Plus I keep them well hosed down with neem oil.

[stinkyattic]

Well happy fucking monday morning, grrrr.
I NEED A COFFEEEEEEEEEEE!:mad:

Anyway I had a great weekend. Nice long hike out to a cool dam in central Vermont, plenty of good laughs, a few froofy Polynesian cocktails with umbrellas in them; all in all, a successful mini-vacation.

I did a bit of gardening on Friday. I built a breeding box out of a wire rack, some old stockings, a few bamboo BBQ skewers, a clear drop-cloth, and about a roll of duct tape. Now I can keep my breeder males happier when I flower them, no more fucking around with paper bags etc. Here's a pic of a big BOG unknown female with a little BOG unknown male perched on top of her. Now let's give them some privacy, shall we? :D

I'm still a big procrastinator and the 2 things I had planned to do this weekend; namely, finish insulation the growroom for the winter and hang my old 1000HPS, and clean the ez cloner and hack up my smashberry mom for slips, didn't happen. Oh well.

So sorry this log entry is so lame. BOOO.

[TheGreenFog]

Boooo....booooo! J/k good post! :D :D

Seems like this must be a pretty tiring Monday for all. Everyone needs a coffee today. I burnt the sh*t out of my tongue this morning drinking coffee too fast. I was so tired. :p

Sounds like you had a nice weekend. Mine was tiring. Nuff said.

So, that male 'box' looks cool. Is that completely airtight...or what? I mean, you did that so you could isolate the males, right? But it's clear, so are they still in veg (I didn't look that closely) then you don't have to worry about pollenation or...what?

Sorry I'm a little confused. When you flower them for pollen, won't you need a darker covering on the outside and an individual light? Or are you using the room lights for them all and just isolating that so the pollen doesn't travel...? What about the air? I'm so :confused:....:(

I've been trying so hard to find time to update the JOURNAL, but it's hard to find time to sit down and upload over 100 more pictures! :) Will do soon, though, I hope.

Be cool.

Yeah, the box is in the corner of my flower room. Not totally sealed yet, but puts my mind at ease for the time being. For ventilation, there's a thin pillowcase at the bottom and pieces of stocking at the top... lets the bare minumum airflow to not have the plants die in the couple days that they have to stay in there for pollenation, and keeps pollen from escaping.

[TheGreenFog]

Aha! I seeeeee now. Cool. So what else is up? Do you ever go into the chat?

I'm gonna start updating here any minute...I can feel it. LOl. I think last update was from DAY 35 flower or something, but I have pics and info up to DAY 54...almost ready!~!~!

[stinkyattic]

I tried going into chat once but I couldn't really figure it out and anyway I'm afraid I would get totally distracted and never get any work done, lol.
Not much else is going on... I started some more seeds over the weekend, some of my own cross that are already popped and in dirt, and something else.. Moroccan X Afghani from nirvana. The beans looked really pathetic I have to say. Very small and lame and the germ % is not great so far.
I'm supposed to be getting a little sum'n sum'n from rushman this week so I'm saving space under my little T5 sprout light for them! Mmmm grapefruit!

F[r]og, I'll be keeping an eye out for your update too. You're in the home stretch, eh?

[TheGreenFog]

Yea, the chat is definitely hard to keep up with. I go in there sometimes, and if I look away for a few minutes to check the boards, I've missed 3 pages of chat. It goes too fast sometimes. And since there is no private chat anymore, it's hard to get a word in edgewise. Would like to see u on there sometime though. :D Oooh I had a good idea. Maybe start a thread and set a date and time that we could all get on the chat (maybe a weekly thing)...I mean the ones who post here frequently (i.e. You, me, Bear, KP, GK, etc.) Just an idea.

Speaking of seeds, I will soon (next month or so) be getting to the part of the JOURNAL where new seeds are planted. :D:D Fun, fun.

Yes, I need to update SOON! ahhh. It is getting into the home stretch for sure. Trichome inspection time. Hope I have some up by today. There are not enough hours in the day.

One love.

Welcome back stinky, check out my newest pics of the girls, day 3 of flowering, and they already look a little thicker than they did in the last pics, filled out and bushed up a bit. I totally envy your seed stash too lol, so far I've only had 2 orders make it through, and got those rhinos that are seedlings, and my girl ordered more without telling me but she got more white rhinos and some ak-48s lol. Nirvana also sent some "magic mystery mix # 2" with that order, no fucking clue what they could be. Oh, and check out the purple peppers, I got tons of beans left and this is what they look like 2 days above ground, takes less than 18 hours from breaking soil to go from white to green to dark ass purple. :dance:

[stinkyattic]

Weird...cool... color changing seedlings....

So your girlfriend orders beans too... cool. I wish my other half would buy seeds instead of just being content to smoke the harvest!

[Splifted]

Lol, only problem was we already have white rhino, and I was wanting something different. Oh well, it was still a very sweet thing for her to do :D

[Splifted]

Hey stinky, sorry to keep hijacking your thread and talking about peppers, but I got a quick question.

Is it normal for pepper seedling leaves to curl downward? Its not like the tips of the leaves, but the whole leaves that curl. They look healthy and green, no burns, and they're developing new leaves, but it just looks kinda off to me. The purple ones are fine, both leaves point straight out. But both my jalapenos are affected. They just have a nice even round curve to the leaves with the tips pointing almost back toward the stem. I'll try and take pics tomorrow, but any ideas?

[stinkyattic]

I have no idea about the pepper leaves... I haven't seen that but maybe it's the variety?

[stinkyattic]

Oh my goodness what a busy day.
Just finally getting around to updating the ol' log.
Not much going on... this seems to be typical!
I found and killed a bunch more aphids this morning that came inside on my veggies. It's odd, they only go after my pepper plants and nothing else, while the thrips like munching my seedlings... go figure. You'd think ALL the bugs would want nice tender young greens!
So what's new...
I've got some more sweet tooth seeds in dirt as of this morning, and also a whole bunch of some of my own seeds, that were from a very nice female crossed with I forget. Duuuur.
I took down the best smelling plant I have EVER grown... it was from my friend's kid who breeds. He gave me a bunch of seeds from some sweet stuff we were all smoking, said it was a 4-way cross of all the basics, and even though this particular plant has been through the wringer, it still produced ridiculously sticky buds that smell exactly like CANDY. Kind of like if you stick your nose in a bag of Skittles. I seeded a bud too so there's more of that on the way with any luck.
So here's some pics, a Purple Star baby showing whorled phytolaxy (ha ha, a new geek term!). Plus the ez-cloner gets a bath, and there's a fuzzy pic of my BOG Blue Moon Rocks at about 3 weeks from seed. That one's going to be a doozie from everything I've heard/read.
Yeag, if you're following, MTF seedlings are on their 4th set of leaves and show almost NO stem. Really tight. Go Alaska! I tried to take pics but my camera is beyond horrible and they came out fuzzy. It's the last one.

[Splifted]

I want some of those Skittles bud seeds! Mmmmm candy! The best tasting shit I've yet to smoke to date is sweet tooth, and that shit IS candy i swear. Thats cool that kid breeds, I'd love to be that far along in my growing one day. Right now, I just want a harvest. Love the pics stinky.

[stinkyattic]

He's real young too, not even 20, and learned from his parents who are out of the business now after having a VERY large outdoor crop stolen....this must have been back in the 80s...

Sweet Tooth has been on my wish list since I first started growing. I like any earthy, herbal, piney, or citrus-tasting buds. Not such a big fan of things like bubblegum, but each to his own I suppose.

hey there stinky, ;)

I know i don't have many posts here but thats because i use another forum for a growlog and usually this forum for info. Maybe i missed it, it's a pretty good possibility, but how did those godbud X dreamweaver do? I ask because i just received a couple of these seeds from a friend who also received them as a "freebie". Just kinda curious as to their possibilities! ;) Anyways any info you could pass on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

They aren't done flowering yet but I like how they are looking so far. Nice looking indoor plant, that's for sure. Nice broad leaves.

You all would hate living in my attic. The stairs make my back hurt and the dog goes up there and farts all the time, especially if we give her kielbasa, or if it's a day of the week that ends in Y.
For anyone who wants to know about my odor control... it's called the Boxer Digestive System Method. Pheee-EWW. Can't smell anything else for an hour if that bitch lets a fluffer rip.
This is a picture of her at our luau. She's smiling because everyone was giving her people food and she was planning some chemical warfare for later.

Lol, that made me think of that "Labrador" weed they smoke in one of the Cheech and Chong movies after that dog eats Chong's sack. I love boxers, she's cute.

Hey guys, Rhino, Orangeman, Ecky, F[r]og, Splifted, c of green, mer de vert, all of ya'll.... hit me up with some emails will ya!? redlined250 @ hotmail
We should get a pepper seed exchange going... I have a bunch of Pequin Chile seeds, some crazy habaneros, all sorts of Italian sweet-hots, and even I think some crazy colored bell pepper seeds left from last year.. . plus I want to be able to chitchat with you guys!

[ridethefire]

When would you plant an outdoor vegetable garden, March?

[stinkyattic]

That's when I'd get the seedlings going. But around here, unless you;ve got a greenhouse, you can't put anything out until May 1st or it will get all frostbitten. I think I'm going to build a hoophouse this spring for my beloved peppers... mmmm!

[ridethefire]

Yep... Def. going to have to get a garden going for next year. Plants are too fun to just grow 1 species.

Can you LST garden plants for any beneficial gain?

Also, You top between the 4th and 5th nodes (for MJ)?

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, Stinky. How was 'your' break? ;) Hope everything is well. Will hit u up on the hot box soon when I set up mine. :D

I love peppers. I used to grow habaneros, cayenne, and a bunch of others. Strawberries, cantelopes, tomates (of course), small bananas, and some grafted tree the was supposed to produce like 4 or 5 different kinds of fruits...I never saw it to the end.

Be spicy...!

I don't know about LST'ing garden plants per se, but if I had to start somewhere it would be training my tomatoes diagonally so the plant gets more light. But the plain boring tomato-stake method works okay for me!

I top AFTER at least 5 nodes... I basically wait for signs of side growth to form on their own. Some strains don't take well to topping; the ones that want it will definitely tell you in their own planty way. MY rule of thumb is if there's a bunch of side growth by the 5th or 6th node, that plant wants to be a big ol' shrub!


F[r]og, I see those silly multi-fruit trees in garden catalogs all the time and have yet to see one work the way it's supposed to! Kind of curious though... did it have like 5 different colors of flowers in spring too?

[BlueBear]

Hey Stinky, put 20 of your off spring in 2 days ago and 16 are down under now.
I like spicy chilies, Habañero, Vietnamese and so on, what do you recommend for a fairly easy grow, and should I throw them into the 24-7 cab with 175MH, or the 18/6 cab with the 400MH cab or the 12-12 room on the sides of the 1K's???
I know that some vegges grow best under 18-6 threw the whole cycle and with things like the Habañero low N and lower amounts of water with higher heat will help to produce a hotter taist, any little tips???
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

I've got mine under 12/12 stuck in around the sides of the 1000HPS coverage area... For easy, there are these little almost triangular or heart-shaped chilies about an inch to an inch and a half long, and maybe 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter, I have NO clue what they are but I got seeds fromo someone and they are indestructible and yield a lot of fruit indoors... never tried the 18/6 thing since I've only got 2 rooms plus my cloning closet... but they definitely like the heat! Only problem seems to be with aphids. But I have NO clue about the fertilizer... they get fish emulsion mixed in the soil, and bloom ferts with their water, and I haven't heard any bitching out of them!

[HiProGlow]

Miss Stinky-

I have to say that your grow log is truly inspiring, in fact I've started my own grow because I was so impressed by your results. (Of course I don't expect the results you had.) I just wanted to thank you for sharing your work, it's so rare to be able to learn from a true pro. :thumbsup:

[VOYAGER]

Whats up Stinky I got your e-mail saying you were staying around and it seems you have many others around here are happy to hear your staying too. I'm Stony everywhere else just so you know who it is. I should be getting my log together in the next day or so. Your judgement is respected so let me know what you think. I'll be running the same grow on the other site as well so if i'm not here i'll be there. See ya around

[Splifted]

Glad you decided to stay. This place just wouldn't be the same with a little less stink.

DAMN THAT BOX!!!

[Splifted]

You get my message miss stinky?

I ordered 9 different types of peppers (in addition to the 4 i already have), and I traded 1 type i had for 3 more, and with any luck I'll be getting some Dorset Naga pepper seeds in trade for some heirloom tomato seeds the guy wanted.

Dorset Naga peppers are the unofficially hottest pepper in the world. The current guiness world record holder is the red savina habanero, which only was tested at 577,000 SHU while the dorsets have been tested at 876,000; 970,000; and just this past october 20th at 1,598,227 SHU. That is absolutely fuckin insane. Pure capsaicin is 16,000,000 SHU while your typical Jalapeno rates from 2,500 to 10,000 SHU.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorset_Naga

Haha, i know that makes them practically useless except for chemical warefare, but i think a jar full of dorset's would make a nice conversation piece, since 1 full pod can hostpitalize you. :rasta:

[kindprincess]

hi stinky, just read your whole log (wow, i've been missing out;)) and i've become inspired to do some more building of my own. i took your advice on the male box (haha) and have a trainwreck and a blueberry in there now.

the pollen i managed to collect from my first controlled pollenation attempt is mixed, but mainly bb...

i've been waiting to hear from you in "increases yeilds, speeds harvests" have some prelim results to post tonite...

i've something i'd like to ask you personally; can i send you an email?

happy belated turkey day:)

love, kp:p

[stinkyattic]

I don't have any real scientific results with that cytokinins spray because I never labeled which plants were treated, lol, durrrr...... I do sort of sense they showed sex a little quicker but I might be imagining things!!!

Hey BlueBear, got some of your kiddos soaking and ready to go!!!! If you're gonna be a bear.... heh heh.

KP, I'm about to rebuild my male box to make it better, more pollen-tight, and more permanent. I'm thinking of sewing a cover of a couple layers of fine gauze and putting in zippers to open and close it. So far the one I've got os working fine but it DEFINITELY isn't perfectly pollen-tight yet and I'm expecting some rogue crosses, oh well, everyone in there is worth breeding anyway! I'd love to hear from ya, my email is a few posts up...

You guys are the WORST... don't go calling me a pro!!! :D I'm NOWHERE near there, just a geek with extra space and time on her hands and a wicked sweet tooth for the stickier things in life! This whole log is kind of a growing experience... durrr that pun was unintended... for me [and the plants] and my yields are better quality every week, but nowhere near what I hope they will be someday... If you haven't seen the 'subcool's brief history of cannabis' thread under pictures... THAT'S the ulitmate goal!

[CaliJay]

Hey, Stinky girl. I am going to check out that thread. Have you seen Tranobles 3lbs per light thread....THAT is my goal.
Please take a look at my plexi box topic in the advanced section and give me some feedback. I think it would be nice to see your boys full time and still be air pollen tight.

Love babe-Jay

what is so strange about your bell peppers colourings?once i get things set up the way i want for the mj a 400 watt vegie garden is definately in the plans.is the same watt per square foot still recomended or can less work?i have about 80 per now but 65ish is what i will have when i get set up like i want.multiple 600s over 9 square each.it will be a few months before that can happen though.

[stinkyattic]

Heya pics as prominsed.
Updates are:
-I'm making headway in my ongoing battle with pests. Aphids and whiteflies and thrips, oh my! But I fogged 2x in the last week with permethrin (synthetic pyrethrin, NO ACTIVATORS!!! The activators are dangerous) from Home Depot... Raid makes a product that just has the perm in it.

-Bear's MTF is breaking dirt as of this morning, and so is Hashberry.

-Just repotted a whole bunch of stuff that showed sex in the last few days, 2 Haze x, 2 Godbud x Dreamweaver, 1 Papaya, um, I think that's it.

Here's pics:
1) Yeag, if your ornery ass is still hanging around here, this one's for you, big guy!!!! It's a healthy Yeag's MTF about 3 weeks old and happy as a clam.

2) Big box o' males. Wow. BAd pic!

3) Bunch of plants getting sexed

4) Bunch of week- and a half-old sprouts just veggin' under tube flouros

5) Bunch of mangled little moms sitting under my MH250 along with a BOG bluemoonrocks in the place of honor!

[stinkyattic]

Anyway the color on those pics is kind of crappy and I noticed makes the plants look kind of sickly, but I swear it's the light!!! :D They are actually in good shape considering the abuse they take.

Here's 2 more pics:
1) A bowl of trim drying out for goo-hash, which I'm going to make this weekend. It's gross stuff really but gets you silly.

2) This mornings harvest sitting decoratively in the kitchen. Smells better than flowers! Actually part of it is missing, which is the buds I pollenated with a BOG unknown. That bit is upside down over a glass jar to catch any precious seeds.. the ones that have fallen so far are ripe but surpisingly petite. Smallest I've ever seen actually.

3) Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! Here's the Tess waiting for someone to drop a bit of turkey. I think she has the munchies.

[stinkyattic]

Anyway I forgot to add that the next batch of seeds I plan to start is going to be Pure Power Plant and White Widow.

Time to get going on the classics, and I've decided to do a run of PPP seeds in time for spring planting. Did you know it's a true-breeding strain? That makes me so happy!

[VOYAGER]

I wish i had the room to set up multiple grows. Your gonna have quite a collection there. Thanks for the pics

Damn it, it's December first already and last night I couldn't get to sleep because it's too HOT in my house!

WTF!!!???

The BF and I already insulated our attic windows with that plastic draft-proofing, total pain, and I'm not taking it down!

MEanwhile I've got my grow set up in 'winter style'... no a/c, the 1000HPS is humming away, and there's virtually no way to quickly remove all the heat from the room short of FORCING it DOWN the stairs with like 4 fans!

So needless to say I was a bit peeved this morning when I got up, not rested a bit, and found the temps in the grow at a whopping 97 degrees F. Seriously.

I think this has got to be the first time ever that I WISH it would get below freezing at night, as much as scraping ice off the car chaps my ass.

Well enough bitching. Everyone is growing fine so I guess there's nothing to worry about except for my -shall we say- 'difficult' friend who drank too much ginger brandy last night ( he claims he has the sniffles) and forgot not only where he left his car, but also how to get to his new apartment. Honest, I love the kid, but I'm too old to be dealing with this crap.

This is going to be a LOOOOOONG day.

[VOYAGER]

Damn 97 degrees, i've had trouble regulating temps lately too but not that bad, I'm in the south east and its snapped into the high 70's low 80's since thanksgiving, i thinks its past though, we had some decent storms the past day or so and now this morning i woke to find that chill in the air again.
Good luck cooling down the attic

[email protected]

[stinkyattic]

Hey all.
Log update...
Well, the late thunderstorms came through as promised and we are now fully into winter, much to my (and the plants') delight. Temps are back in the 70s and 80s daytime and upper 60s nighttime.
My Bear's MTF and Hashberry are working on their 2nd set of adult leaves.
The papaya, for those of you who remember that this was originally supposed to be a log of the papaya's progress, is doing fine and I've got a bunch of sexed plants, and thinking of making an F2 since the male is so vigorous.
I popped 10 each of Pure Power Plant and White Widow... time to get rolling on a couple commercial strains to see what I can do with them! Plus I will be making a seed crop from the PPP as it is a very stable and true-breeding strain, and I hope to grow it outdoors in spring (it's mostly sativa but flowers FAST).
Clones from my smashberry mom are in dirt as of this weekend. That's the second batch of clones from my new ez cloner; I just did like 10 cuttings and stuck them in the closet and forgot about them for 2 weeks!

The funniest thing that happened is that my dad, who lives a ways away, called Saturday night to say he was coming out for a quick visit Sunday...

I spent the entire morning parent-proofing my house, stacked up 3 weeks' worth of dirty laundry blocking the attic door, put away the water pipes, and sprayed Febreze on everything in sight... and what does he do, goes almost STRAIGHT to the dining room closet and goes, "?huh? what's this?" me: "oh it's a cloner for making cuttings of herbs!" him: "that's not marihuana by any chance, is it? Not that I would know what that looks like..." me: of course not! It's herbs!"

OMG.

Let's see, here's this morning's pics.
The first is yesterday's harvest
Second is a BlueMoonRocks getting big
Third is how I train my little scruffy moms to give me cloneable side shoots... that's duct tape and a bungee cord!
Fourth is a bunch of recent transplants. That's how big they get in the 6-pax.
Fifth is the 6-pax on a styrofoam meat tray... that's BlueBear's MTF and Hashberry sprouts about 3 days from first breaking dirt.

Oh hey, KP, I got your email but when I wrote to your yahoo acct it got returned?! Durrr?

Oh never mind I'm silly.... 3 s's! Try again...

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, Stinky!!

Thanks for the update. I'm sure all the viewers appreciate it too. Everything looks good. I was wondering about the Papayas myself. :) Aren't cool temps the greatest? :)

Bummer about the dad thing. Ha. How did he manage to get into the closet? It's kinda hard to parent/visitor - proof the place when there is so much going on, eh? :o A cloner for herbs, huh? haha. Nice. "Well, that's my a/c that's so loud...gotta get it fixed...errr..." ;)

So windsurfing, huH? Cooool. ;)


So I'm a little bummed out about my thread. From what I've seen, people tend to get more attentive closer to harvest, but I've already started to post harvest pics, (with weights & everything) and you are pretty much the only one who has posted any comments. Strange. I just wonder sometimes if I go through the whole detailed process in vain. Meh...it's still cool to have a thorough log, though. I just noticed some date discrepancies...but whatever. It just takes a long time to make such detailed posts with all those pics and such. Maybe I should go down to a bare bones log (fewer pics - just the basics). What d'ya think? OR I might break out my 'secret weapon avatar'...we'll see. hehe.

Hope you had a good weekend. I did. Nice and relaxing...not! haha


Keep bling-blingin'...

Lol, I feel ya fog. Under my last name, I had like 40 replies and my plants were only barely vegging. Now I'm 3 weeks into flower and I'm the only one that has anything to say about my beautiful ladies. Damn stinky takin all the attention :mad:

J/k SA, you deserve it with all those badass plants. I want some of those MTF & Hashberry! :cool:

Haha, sucks about the dad, but don't you just love people that really honest to god don't know what weed looks like or smells like? Makes life that much easier.

This weekend I had to hit a bong for demonstration purposes in front of this girl who came over to my apartment with one of my roommates friends. It was funny, the guy and girl came into my room and the guy is like haha, smells good in here and she was like what's that smell? And i was like pot. And she's like really? I've never smoked before, I don't do drugs, all I do is drink. So I felt it my moral obligation to try and convert her from alcohol to pot. Lol, she didn't wanna hit the bong, but she thought you hit it from the slide where the bowl goes. I just clouded out the room in one hit, and she was like wow, how do your lungs hold that much smoke. Gotta <3 teh noobs.

[stinkyattic]

Mornin' f[r]oggy!
I like all the pics in your log. Why would you ever want to take them out?

I should have expected my dad to go snooping. He's a curious sort of guy and I've been doing a lot of renovations. He was probably just looking to seeif I had repainted the INSIDES of the closets too!
I even went to the hardware store and picked up some skeleton keys that fit the victorian locks, but the mechanism is stuck from a century of people painting right over the hardware! But he's a sweetheart and wouldn't hold it against me that I've turned to a life of crime, LOL! It's funny that I always flame the kids trying to hide a grow from their parents and here I am with the same problem... except that I own my own home and they aren't in danger!

I'm glad you had a nice weekend. Mine was actually fabulous... there's a sweet little Italian restaurant that just opened up on the other side of the hill and my neighbor and I finally went there for some nice Malbec and an eggplant terrine on Saturday evening. Holy shit were we in heaven.

Then Sunday night after my Pops took off, I headed over to visit a buddy who has had the blues ever since he broke things off with his [lazy and useless] girlfriend of like 15 years... and now he's got a beautiful place of his own, but I think it just hit him hard that he's the only one there and it's getting cold and dreary. So we had a little green and poked through his ridiculous collection of antique cookbooks and had a good laugh at all the absurd recipes for jello molds, mousses, aspics, and other questionably-textured foods. I'm so glad I was not a housewife during the 40s and 50s, that's all I can say!

[stinkyattic]

J/k SA, you deserve it with all those badass plants. I want some of those MTF & Hashberry! . Awwww tanx. The hashberry is still on seedboutique under Mandala Seeds, inexpensive too. The MTF is a gift from an Alaskan... Can't wait to see what pops up.


Haha, sucks about the dad, but don't you just love people that really honest to god don't know what weed looks like or smells like? Makes life that much easier. .
Yeah, it's kind of cutely innocent and nice.

And she's like really? I've never smoked before, I don't do drugs, all I do is drink. So I felt it my moral obligation to try and convert her from alcohol to pot.
.Ha ha my neighbor is a big drinker- scorpion bowls at the crappy Chinese place, martinis elsewhere- I had him smoking for the first time in 15 year the other night, and his comment was, 'wow, I forgot how relaxing this is. I should give up drinking and smoke with you more often!' Love it.

[TheGreenFog]

Yea...I have to admit, I've been a little busy updating my thread (my updates take forever) and haven't spent that much time responding to others. I have been watching yours though, Splifted. I also don't like repeating what other people already say, so if what I have to say has already been covered by someone, I just opt to not reply. It seems that everyone & their mother has a grow log/journal now! ha.

I love when people don't know what a plant looks like or what MJ smoke smells like too. It's great. Ha. My gf still wouldn't recognize a mj plant if she saw one on the side of the road. They all love the smell though. :D

Be...benevolent.

:rasta:

TGF

p.s Stinky, yea I doubt I'll stop with the thorough updates. Hey, I've done this much...why stop now, right? ;) Updates soon. hehe. AND my 'secret weapon avatar!'

[stinkyattic]

So last night I was making my rounds looking for ball sax, buggies, etc. with my magnifying glass and had a good look at the 'breeder male' box... discovered that one of the papaya boys has a few trichs on him. Not like a female, but enough of them to really get me interested in the little guy for breeding, so I went ahead and pollinated a couple girls from my bagseed line with him.

The PPP broke dirt this morning. Still waiting on the WW.

I'ma-go read up on Subcool's experiences with Space Dude and maybe order some seeds from that line in hopes that the male resin-producing trait is more common in his stuff.

[BlueBear]

Hey Stinky, I am sorry that I have not been around your thread so much. I guess that I know I can go directly to you when I have questions so it has made me a little spoiled. I am going to go back and read the last couple of pages of your thread because it seems like you have so much going on and perhaps I can learn a few tricks. My "Children of the Attic" are coming along, some have there third set of leaves and will have to get them out of the 4 packs like ASAP, will get some pics on your thread after I do all of that, just have so much to do right now, potting 7 in 3 gals, 8 in 2 gals, about 5 under experiment and 11 in the flower room and it is keeping me busy, not to mention that I have these buckets, air pumps, net pots and drills all around so I can do some hydro runs with these strains to see how they react.
Well, take care and will check back in.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Hey all...been a while! Lots going on in my life, not all sunshine and daisies at the moment, but looking up.
With the big breakup I've been getting up earlier and spending a lot of time in the garden before work. I cleaned and rearranged things a bit in the last couple days and really llike how the garden is growing into its space perfectly.

Here's some pics:
#1- Here's the Bear's MTF and HAshberry again. Lookin good. 100% survival on both.
#2- Here's a BOG unknown getting frosty. She's gained some purple coloration on her sugar leaves and it seems to be advancing towards the bud itself. Yummy!!! Pretty girl.
#3- My Aghani Dream STILL sitting there doing nothing. Trying to reveg her. I expect to see some new shoots maybe in the next week or 2. It has been 2 weeks since she went into 24 on again.
#4- This is just a cool random pic I took on my way to work of a bunch of steeplejacks removing the cupola from an old building in town.
#5- WOW pollen!

[HiProGlow]

Wow Stinky, your BOG's look wonderful. Bear's and Hashberry look great too....keep up the awesome work! How do you seperate all those seedlings without damaging them when it's time to transplant? (Don't say very carefully because I know this takes serious skill.)

[stinkyattic]

Easy, they are already in 6-pax. Those aren't propagation trays like you would use for impatiens and shit.
What I do is wait for them to get pretty rooty. Not quite rootbound, but just to the point where they are starting to show very slight N def from having used up ALL the existing nutes in the starter mix (~40% perlite, 50% composted manure and humus, and 10% worm poop).
Then I let them get pretty dry and poke the bottom of each cell in the 6-pack until the soil plug frees itself from the sides. They just slide right on out. I think there's a transplanting pic or 2 back earlier in the log.

[stinkyattic]

Found the transplant pics! They are on pg. 2 of this log. They actually came out halway decent and you can see the texture of the soil sort of.

[stinkyattic]

OMG!!! This thread almost dropped off the page!!!
Let's try this again.. my browser keeps crashing... fucking Microsoft.. I need to get my trusty Mac back on its feet!

Anyway updates...
So I was lazt and planted the WW and PPP in 'used' dirt.. I'm suffering for it now; they are showing def symptoms, at only 2 nodes old, yikes. So this morning I did an emergency transplant of one pack and gave them a tiny bit of fish/kelp food... 1/2tsp in 2 cups.... or maybe 400mL with 5 mL food... why the fuck did the Americans decide to use a fucking ridiculous measuring system- or more like a ridiculous hodgepodge of measuring systems- insetad of metric? Here we are dividing everything by 12, or 16, or whatthefuckever.. I feel like I should be counting the knots in a piece of string and wearing a fucking corset still. Canncom should add to the mostly English rule and say all growers must post in metric units. Yeah. That would be awesome.
*END OF RANT*
Um so the BOG plants are only a few short days from harvest and starting to show the late N defs... IMO N def in the last week or 2 is actually a good thing because you WANT chlorophyll to break down and not mask the pure clear flavors of the aromatic hydrocarbons.
They have some seeds on them too.... I made a couple crosses to see what pops up.
Any of you who looked at the Subcools history of cannabis thread in pictures, my all time most favoritestest thead on canncom, I just discovered that he was the source for the genetic material that BOG used for BlueMoonRocks and LifeSaver... Well paint me purple and call me Shelley, it figures!!! Now I'm thinking when my Vortex beans come from cannaseur I KNOW what crosses I'll be fooling around with! :D Cool.
What else.... made a Papaya F2 with the slightly res male plus the female with the best internodal bud dev... she's a pretty one... left her untopped and her internodes are spaced at about 2 inches apart... a few short weeks into veg and bud development has already FILLED the internodal regions! Me like.
I got 2 very very very delicious red ripe tomatoes off my plant this morning and made a fabulous omlette... 2 eggs, skim milk, a dash of Cajun blackening spice. Then tomatoes, proscuitto, a handful of sharp Cheddar, and some black pepper... mmmmmmm. Wow the tomatoes were sweet. They love bloom ferts, lol! They are literally on the exact same feeding schedule as my girlies, molasses and all. BTW for any of you who like to grow veggies in the growroom, may I recommend a variety called 'Patio Tomato- Garden Red'...I t looks to be indeterminate... already bore a crop and is now bearing flowers again! Also the leaves are thick, I mean THICK, and dark dark green. It stands up to heat and drought well. And the fruit is the size of a billiards ball and dark red. GORGEOUS!!!

[stinkyattic]

Okay here's some pics
1) BOG plants nearing their end (the lame runt in the L corner of the pic is embarassing!)
2) Papaya girl... my camera seems to hate HID light, look at the weird bands of color?! Durr?
3)Shitty luck, I'm lame, abusing my seedlings like this!
4) BOG Bluemoonrocks getting bushy. What a pretty plant.
5) My dog is a lazy bum just like me!

[stinkyattic]

More pics...
1) tomaters from my indoor garden!
2) the fate of tomaters from my indoor garden :D
3) Everyone loves twins... Akita... Yes, it's real, this was not 2 seeds in one pot.
4) Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night! If you look really closely maybe you can see that some of my ornaments are miniature garden implements! (Yes it's a fake tree from Salvation Army... Did you really think that with a combined watering load of almost 200 plants between the garden and all my houseplants, I wanted to water a TREE too? :D)
5) Her Higness Miss Tess.... on her throne... from which she does not deign to descend... EVER.

[BlueBear]

Good morning on my side of the world, and nice to be updated on your garden.
Adieu

[VOYAGER]

Either i haven't checked this thread lately or you've been busy. Appreciate the update too. Your thread always make me feel like i'm actually there, not just growing but daily life as well. Take care girl & happy holidays

[stinkyattic]

Happy holidays to you too!
Yeah, having this thread makes me feel like you guys are around too. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

Lesseeee.... updates....

Um I started using a producct called Messenger last weekend and I'm not sure if I am just imagining things but there seems to be a bit of a flurry of growth... ??? ... didn't do an untreated control so I'm not sure, but at least it didn't hurt!

I'm not exactly thrilled with the White Rhinos that I ordered from seedboutique.

In fact they suck royal asscheeks.

On one hand, yeah, they are growing like crazygonuts, but on the other hand, I've already had to cull 2 that were so badly hermed as to be considered a fully equal male and female plant.

I mean, awful. Awful awful. Like a beautiful furry afro of pistils and a complete skirt of nutsax on EVERY bud site.

I will never grow this strain again unless I can find a breeder who didn't let his genetics get all fuckulated. Meh, why bother looking, there's so many better strains out there. Oh and of the ones that haven't been flowered yet, yup, one ended up in the 'everybody loves a freak' thread. I just don't trust those genes!

All my other girlies are just fine and not experimenting with life as a transgendered pot plant. :D

Aphids in the flower room still, wtf, just been hosing them off with a jet of water and neem. They are more interested in my hot peppers than the ladies though so I'm not that worried. Haven't seen any of the telltale leaf-drop on the girls.

I have to wait like one more week to bugbomb so the 'maters get pollinated. See! Pests DO have a purpose! There IS order in the universe after all!

Stopped off at our local farmers supply this morning for 200 pounds of cow manure and humus and a bag of perlite the size of one of those big 'body pillow' things. Guess what I'm going to be doing when I get home? Hint: It involves DIRT.

Maybe I will take pics and you can see how messy my porch is.

Well that's that.

I'm supposed to be throwing a Festivus party tomorrow night. Wish you-all could come and participate in the Airing of the Grievances!

[BlueBear]

Hmm, I am amused by your description of your transgender Rhinos. Well, I put the "Children of the Attic" under the 400W last night so I will prob update tomorrow, I would do it to night, but I will be cutting clones and transplanting some other stuff that I got in the flower room tonight, I hope.
Oh, yeh, I almost forgot, I used that messenger for the first time about a month ago, and I noticed a real big increase in the foliage after the second day of use. One thing, what do you think about the directions? I mean, you can only use a open package with in, what, 24 hours and a mixed batch for only a few hours I think? Well I just refrigerated my package to try to use later, but I am a little leary on trying, what do you think. The stuff is kind of spendy as well. Your the first person that I have herd of using it besides my self.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

I have a partially used but still dry package too. I think refrigeration is the best way to go. I bet you could refrigerate mixed spray to extend the useful life just a few days anyway.

[c of green]

wow everytime i come back somrthing is diferent....click this accept that.....blah....
antway it is good to see things going well....be careful with the ww they seem not to be very tough....the ai has bounced back from the problems and the widow is still quite sickly looking.it is still growing though so that is good.
where did you order the ppp from i have been thinking about them myself?as well as many many others.anyway keep up the good work

[stinkyattic]

Hey... wondering where you'd vanished to!
Got the PPP from seedboutique. I've actually gotten most of my seeds there... plus a bunch from Rushman and a couple from Sacred in Toronto and a crapload from bags, friends, ya know... ordered on the 5th from cannaseur.... still waiting for shipping conf even though yeah my plastic was already charged... with seedboutique they would have been here by now. Grr.

[Splifted]

Man stinky i envy your seed collection. Cause now I don't trust half of mine lol. That first round of White Rhinos from seedboutique looked like hell and they are where that 2-headed mutant I had came from. So lets just say I'm less than thrilled about them for this next time around now....I still have some of their AK-48 which i've heard good things about and they sent me some "mystery mix #1" too of which 8 seeds look un-crushed. I'm considering PPP because I want a mostly sativa that is still fast flowering. I really really really really really wanted that c-99 from the FMX line of feminized seeds, but they apparently quit offering that one right as I was about to order. Like it was seriously there 2 days before I decided I was going to place the order :mad: Is that PPP you got nirvana standard also? Let me know how that turns out, cause now I'm not even sure I wanna start these rhinos.......damnit.

Haha, i do however have a badass pepper seed collection :D
19 unique varieties of hot pepper & 3 varieties of alpine strawberries (i still gotta figure out this "cold stratification" thing and I'm gonna start some)

Anyway, glad to see you back on your feet and back in the swing of things so quickly after all the shit you've been dealing with. It happens to the best of us girl, but not many take it in stride like you did. *big ass bear hug*

edit: PS, would you be so kind as to grace us with your presence in the c hat room some time? i'd love to speak with you in somewhat real time ;p

[ridethefire]

Just found some time to re-read your entire thread.
WOW! You (and your grow) are truly an inspiration.
Appreciate your posts at the beginning of my log!

I missed the post about your mini-trip to VT. Vermont is BEAUTIFUL! I have a bunch of family in Essex Junction. Gotta love that Ben&Jerry's!

[stinkyattic]

Hey guys!
I tried chat once and couldn't figure it out... durrr....
Yeah the PPP are NirvStd too. Fuck I hope they aren't weird. But I think it hasa a rep of being a super stable strain... let's hope they're okay.
Hey I gotta run, have to go to the little grow shop in Putney VT before 5:30.... yikes, gotta scurry!!
Talkk to ya monday!
Ah you all are so nice. I'll take some nice pics for ya over the weekend!!!!

[Jedi Hash]

I will never grow this strain again unless I can find a breeder who didn't let his genetics get all fuckulated.


Here we are dividing everything by 12, or 16, or whatthefuckever.. I feel like I should be counting the knots in a piece of string and wearing a fucking corset still.

Stinkyattic, you crack me up!! I love your sense of humor! Happy Festivus!

Hey Yeag, don't know ya, but what was with the rep or feed back you left me about the MTV gangstas going to jack me???, don't know what your smoking partner, but that's not even a bad joke in my neck of the woods.
Not trying to stir up my boiling honey pot, but that doesn't seem like the right way to pass a few words to a fellow Alaskan, especially when the gifted and generous MS. Stinky here is going to cross some of our beans, so I would be a happy bear if you might consider your statements before your little fingers go flying across your key board sending them off into the World Wide Web of safe anonymity before you have had a chance to recruit your manors and think twice.

Sorry Stinky for the little growling, but a Bears got to do, what a Bears got to do. Adieu

well bear nice to meet you. I rarely apologies for anything but my attack on you was unprovoked...i was learning the rep system and thought you gave me a negative rep point..but you did not. So i was trying to pay you back.....i am sorry for the rude remarks. You have posted many wonderful and helpful things....I am glad you called me on it. I relized when I came back you did nothing but go to a post directly after me..so to hell with rep points and this buds for you bear:jointsmile: i would love to hook up i am moving back there in april for good:jointsmile: :jointsmile:

Well Yeag, that is very cool of you to explain that and help clear it up. I have never had a reason to get a little out of soarts on here and that is one thing I love about the community so the little feedback thing rubbed me the wrong way especially since that is such a real problem anywhere you live, folks trying to rob you.
Well, hope we can get along, and if you move back, then we can maybe have a few sessions and you can see that I am a cool Blue Bear that loves my friends, family but don't much care for those who would do them harm.
Stay up and try not to get banned again it seems like some good folks like you, like Stinky and KP so I am sure that they would rather have you around than not.

That bluemoonrocks plant is beautiful.
Nice omlet...and all the rest of the stuff too.
Great thread!

Jedi Hash-
Happy Festivus to you too! I drank way too much cheap wine and smoked way too much Shrek on Saturday night... along with way too much Tex-Mex... it was a successful Festivus all around.
Dutch Pimp-
I think they ARE frustrated! Corsets and all- rootbound- gave them some Cannazyme on Sat to try to unbind them a bit. But the curfew is still in effect; don't need those bitches walking the streets when the bars close... too tempting.
KP-
The Alaska project is still slow since the Bear's MTF descendants are still just babies.
Yeag-
Damn next time you go on vaca you'd better invite me. My vacations are rather boring in general. I'm glad they finally decided to make ol' Ronnie J a Cardinal.
Bear-
If you're gonna be a bear, be a GRIZZLY!!! :D
c of green and Voyager- I've been away from the 'puter for a few days... on my way over to visit!!!! :D
Shov-
Man that omelet was good... went straight to my butt... *shakes big butt vigorously*
I'm so glad you're in driving distance so we may eventually be able to scrap mailing beans in favor of trading cuttings. 'Cause that BMR is gonna be a KEEPER!!!!! Wonder if she's ever ridden on the back of a bike? :D

I even missed the return of the yeag! ;)

Well, I'm glad it's the holidays and the boards aren't whizzing by me at light speed, though it does look like lot of you have gotten your Christmas shopping done, cuz you're back on here chatting it up! :clap:

[stinkyattic]

Updates!
I started my girlies on some new products.

Cannazyme... enzymatically breaks down dead root matter even in 'inhabited' pots
Got it from my new fave grow shop in Putney VT... the grow guy is the coolest dude. He has hydro flood and drain display tables with everything from cactus to garlic to every type of houseplant imaginable coexisting happily, and a propagation display as well. Very VERY big props to him for such a nice shop.
And his advice is, it's great stuff, monitor for 48 hours for N burn as bound nutes are released. But looking good so far.

Soil Syrup... humic acid supplement from some European fert manufacturer. I totally need it too for my mommies in their little tiny pots!

Um... Moistened some of a cross I made between the Afghani that has been kicking around my grow almost since the beginning and a male from the BOG mix I got free from Sacred Seeds. They popped and are already out of the dirt.

Started a bunch of herbs and veggies for my neighbor for Christmas... he's getting his Butler's pantry turned into a growroom, haha!!!

Got my new beans! Jillybean, Vortex, and Jacks Suprise! WOOT!!!! Can't wait until I have a little space for them.

Hey, stinky. Sounds like good stuff. So that Cannazyme you are using to relieve rootbounded...ness, right? COOL! I am interested. :D

So, your neighbor is setting up a regular growroom indoors, right? Nothing sweet like yours. ;)

Looking forward to seeing those new beans grow. Space comes at a premium up in these pieces, huh? Move over, little weed plant... :weedpoke:


Did you see the progress on the JOURNAL? That's exactly what IT needed...more room! BLING!

Man everyone needs more room!!!
The moms need more room... so they are getting cannazyme-d.
My normal houseplants, same thing. I have a Christmas cactus that has been in the same pot for almost 10 years and is a full 3 feet in diameter!!! It's a monster and I can't repot the thing because of the delicate branches.
The grow room needs more room... One for veg, One for flower, One for moms and propagation, one [dungeon bahahahaha] for [evil horny] males.
The neighbor is all addicted to fresh basil and won't take any crappy supermarket pesto for an answer!

Hey Missy, I have a question, do you think that the "Children of the Attic" would do alright flowering in 2gallon and 1 quart pots?? I may be pushing for room, and may need to skimp on the pot size, so I am wondering if you have ran them under 3 gal pots?? They will have a 1 month veg when all is said and done.
Take care.

BlueBear,
1 month veg to 2 gallon pots and they will do fine. I have never noticed anything from that line really finishing up rootbound in 3 gallon pots. And rootbound at harvest time is actually NOT a bad thing.

[BlueBear]

Thanks for the input. I don't think that anything is wrong with plants being root bound at the end of flower, except when it is just rediculously root bound and stunts the harvest, but by now I should know better.
I am running about 5 plants in some coco coir right now will post them on the next "Children" update, unless I start a coco experiment thread. I really think that you would like the coco, it has some neet properties that make for a really nice organic medium with robust growth potential that can match hydro and people are reusing it up to 5 times and more with no problems. Also, rather than having to hall baggs of dirt around from the store, one little brick about the size of a black board eraser can expand to the size of a 3 gal pot.

hey guys, how's the ho ho holidays treating you?

miss attic, i'll be starting a new garden on the first of 07:) soooo exited too! i can't wait to see a pic update, btw...

bear, where can i get coco coir offline? i'd realy like to try it, as recycling has been my thing for some time now, this could realy help me out...

merry christmas everone:)

love, kp:p

[stinkyattic]

I've kind of been thinking of coco lately. One of the local shops just started carrying it...nice and convenient... I'm getting sick of lugging DIRT all over the place.
But meh, I dunno, I finally got my soil mix worked out and I'm liking it, so it would be an experiment.

[stinkyattic]

Updates!
Here's a bunch of pics froom this past week.
#1= my new fertilizer guy coaxed me into trying rapid rooters so here's a bunch of lil clones
#2= Get ye to a Chinese market, noob!!!! These are the best indoor gardening tools you'll ever find. They are a big Chinese ladle and a wok shovel, lol.
#3= Just a bunch of different grades of Shrek, L to R, stemmy schwag, nice bright green brick, commercial Canadian outdoor [we call them Nooks around here. This batch smelled like pine and tasted like some unidentifiable citrus], some of my home-bred line, and finally a Haze X to DIE for.
#4=Males revegging. I scrapped the male isolation box for being not airtight enough. I have to build a new growroom somewhere for the dudes.
#5=Everyone loves basil.

[stinkyattic]

More pics
#1= Moroccan x Afghani cross... note the heavy Sativa influence, but they are stillstaying VERY tight. Thos elittle plants already have like 9 nodes.
#2= Yeag's MTF in veg
#3= Another Yeag's MTF in flower (bad pic)
#4= Bear's MTF in veg
#5=Purple Star in flower with whorled phytolaxy. Note angle between petioles is 120' rather than 180'.

[the yeag]

Words cannot describe this little afgahn beuty. she is 3 weeks old and as of this morning she is 12 inches high and 16 inches around. i love this strain thx Girly....The other pic is bad I know I am trying to fully grow a wonderful sativa plant that was left for dead outside from a friend. It was 4' tall when i dug it up from his backyard. I built a cabinet just for it. I ran 2' flo grow bulbs underneath her and 12 cfl's around her and i weaved her all around the cab after i topped her. it looks like a plant growing on its side but all five new branches are growing up now. i

[Splifted]

it looks like a plant growing on its side but all five new branches are growing up now. i

Thats the beauty of LST'ing. Those new branches are gonna be tops :D
Any way you could get a shot of the whole plant?

[stinkyattic]

Wow Yeag she looks incredible! Holy shit!

[the yeag]

hey I might have a dirty brown potty mouth but i got a green mother fucking thumb!








splifted I don't want to hog her thread..she never did give me permission to postmy plants here...but i tried to get a good pic kind of hard now my boy is here..but this pic shows all the branches shooting upward about three feet in order to do this i cut a hole in a entertainment center so the roots and pot are hidden . it is about 7.5' tall and is growing like a aloe plant that has been left alone for a few years

[BlueBear]

Hey Stinky, I had a discovery over the last two days regarding that strain from the Mountain. After about 40 days flower with 2 1/2 weeks veg under the micro, she is showing 80% milky, 20% amber, so basically what I am saying is, at least from clone this strain is looking like a 40-45 day ready to role strain. I went back and had the last harvest that was cut about 10 days ago put under the micro scope and being cut at 50 days it was a little over done with about 80% amber. I don't know how it will work out from seed, but I thought I would give you a heads up. Even with less than 3 weeks veg I think I will get at least a OZ off of each one.
Maybe you can come up with your own top 44, call it the Stinky top 40 count down.
Adieu

[stinkyattic]

Holy crap BlueBear!
That sounds incredible. And confirms true Thunderfuck descent... that strain was/is supposed to be FAST.

Yeag... go ahead and post the Afghanis... they have a place here.

Peeps, that Yeag pic with the really EXTREME wide leaf blades is the offspring of the Afghani Dream plant seen earlier in my thread being held up by having its sugar leaves clipped to a bamboo stake.

[Splifted]

That afghani is some heavy lookin shit, anything that fat and is gonna have to knock you on its ass. Sa, you must be proud :D I love your solution w/ the entertainment system. Stoner ingenuity never fails.

[stinkyattic]

I like that idea too and since most pests come from the soil, it's even better!

[stinkyattic]

I got some new beans for Christmas, Eh! Bluejay x Bogglegum... Woot!
And some Trailer Park Boys... I know what I'm doing tonight!

[BlueBear]

Hey Missy, I am thinking about topping those beans and letting them veg for about 5 weeks, how do they respond? I want to take some clones and want to top to promote some internodle growth for cloning or just keep clones from the topping, but I don't want to stunt their potential so if you think that they respond better untopped I will only top half.
Thanks for any answers on the question.
Adieu

[the yeag]

hey blue I think we got the same batch. If that is the case top away, I did half of them and had good results. but they do look so nice and bushy if you leave them alone. I never had a problem with height growing them out.

[BlueBear]

Sounds good Yeag, we will see if Stinky shows up to the party to give her nickles worth.
PS. Yeag, you going to make it back up here?
Adieu

[the yeag]

yes it is for sure i will be there by may..about 189 miles south of you.you know where i am talking about. I have some land by the river and am having a house built. I may be staying in your area until it is finished or rent something down by my new home. The cold is going to suck but it will be nice to be free again. after growing up there and seeing the real world for the last ten years it will be nice to return to nothing but mother nature and peace and quiet:jointsmile:
