Jake's Bunches O' Beans Grow Log
Jake, So how many plants did you end up with this grow? I always have trouble calculating how many plants I need to grow each grow to maintain a steady supply. I'm glad to see you have some seedlings starting so late in the year when I harvested the sour bubble which I did a seed run with dropped a few beans that germ'd themselves so I have 8 new surprise seedlings. When does your lat drop to the 12/12? I've got to the last of Sept so hopefully they have enough veg time to produce something. I love growing year around myself I can't wait to start my inside autos next month.

Have you considered doing a thread of just your strain reviews sometime?
Anyhow, keep up the fine gardening. :jointsmile:
Shov, I have the same feeling when I jump into someone else's thread - how in the heck do they keep up with all of these strains? Mine really aren't too bad to keep up with. I start them out in labeled Silo cups, and when I first transplant them I keep the strains together until I can distinguish them. Right now I really only have Lemon Skunk and Sour Cream going. Back in a nature area I have Colombian Red Haze and Old School. All of these are visually distinctive, and I could tell the Lemon Skunk apart from the others just by their excessive odor - really skunky even now when they've only been flowering for about 2 weeks.
As for strain reviews - that's a really good idea! I don't know that I have a very detailed sense of smell and/or taste, but I could give some general impressions and overall grow report. But, at this point I only have experience with about 5 strains - some of the others either didn't make it or were gifted. I do need to branch out a bit from just a grow log.
My friend, it's always a pleasure to see you around. I hope all is well and easy with you and yours!

Luna, it's been too long. I see you online at ic from time to time - I should drop you a pm. It looks like I'll wind up with 1 Colombian Red Haze, 1 Old School (seeded by NL), 2 Lemon Skunk, 1 Sour Cream and my newbies (3 SSH x WW, 1 Sunshine #2, and 2 Kali Mist x Romulan). We'll see how the newbies do. The Sunshine #2 and 1 each of SSH x WW and KM x Romulan are really growing well, so I hope to have even a 1/4 oz from each. 12/12 I think is the same all over - around September 23rd - from what I remember. And, we keep decent light here dropping to around 9 hours of daylight in late December - temperature is pretty moderate until January/February.
I hope to have enough to make it through the year. I've really been contemplating an indoor grow cab - seems like I wanted one really badly last year about this time, considering outdoor is coming to an end. Indoor sure would be interesting.
Take good care out there, my friend! I hope all is well with you and your family!

LMMFAO! My petition has been submitted, and I've been granted leave to solicit bids - I think. I was not shot down completely, except on the location of the indoor. It will have to be located in the attic, which in all actuality would be easier with the exception of me climbing up there every dang day!
My bro and I, more so my bro than I, should be able to knock it out, but he will have the cost knowledge. Depending on our finances and my bro's availability, I could have something in place in a couple of months, which depending on when my outdoor strains finish up could be perfect timing.
DP, you really had me laughing on this one!

jake if you automate your waterings for the indoors you won't have to climb up there every day ! I just hooked mine all up and WOW was it easy. but you'd have to haul up a lot of water once a week as well..
nice outdoors buddy, they are sure soakin up those sun lumens. the crosses sure sound interesting as well! cant wait to go see my outdoor babies its been almost 2 months. I hope somethin is still there :D

Jake, Yeah summers are always so busy things are finally slowing down again. I have been stressing on the indoor growroom too but the place inside that I could build one would be in a closet and I never liked that idea. So I built a kind of grow room/greenhouse on our deck. Since our winters are really pretty mild I think we may get 10 day's worth of below freezing and they are well spaced out the cfls should keep it warm enough and if not I can use a small ceramic heater so I am all set to grow year round! I am going to grow a/fs only during the winter. The automatic watering system sounds cool but if it ever leaks there will be hell to pay.

JAKE!
I was reading through my first grow log (on my 4th now) and saw a really funny post that you authored.
"I envy you the time you will spend using your mason jars full of incredibud as goggles while you hopelessly try to focus on your TV after becoming interested in the monkey sounds from the Discovery Channel."
I think now the same applies to you. I envy you sir, and Lemon Skunk is great I had that last grow. Does it smell like pinesol for you?
