Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Grow Log....Part Two.
Definite attitude improvement.
In every grow I've ever done, there is a threshold waiting to be crossed. It goes from "this ain't going to work" to "this may just work".
Today, I crossed that line.
It help when you start to see little white hairs. Just one or two per plant can lift your spirits. The last few times I went into the gulch, I left dead males in my wake each time. This time it was girl, girl, girl, don't know, girl...no males.
B came over to my house for a safty meeting. He gave me batch 3 (the sativa). We got to talking shop and I asked about the parentage of the seeds he gave me. He tells me he had them stashed for a year in his freezer.
Cool, but where did they come from? He got a few seeds from a bag I gave him, years ago and he kept crossing them with themselves.
So in effect, I just got back some plants, from a strain I lost long ago, that B was kind enough to keep alive and return to me. Neat Huh? That's the way things work on an Island. He took my strain, put his spin on it for a few generations and gave it back.
Of all the T/S, I captured the trait I was most looking for. The great combination of both height and yield....I watched this last year, and I know what it looks like. She will be the universal mother. Thats the first pic. The second cross T/SxT/S2 has white zipties.
Next pic is the trait I call topknot. This should go elsewhere. Up here...rot city. In a few weeks seeds will be ready.
Pic 3 is a Jack Herer girl. Funny ass growing plant. It needs branches. I guess I forgot what a pure sativa looked like. Knock wood, she is stable. Also every plant behind her is a girl...so far.
And I have a Jack male too.:thumbsup:
Pic 4 is an experiment. When I dumped batch 2, she already had declared. Damned if i throw away an established girl. So she is now one of 2 survivors of Batch 2. I will have to keep my eye on them.
Pic 5 is a Batch 4 girl... thats right batch 4. Four and 5 barely have five sets of leaves, and they are already showing sex. It doesn't matter where I pollenate her, so I put her in the gulch, try to get some size on her.

love reading your grow log. unfortunately someone salted my grows. One survived who has survived a 10 foot fall already and still no broken stem. Any suggestions to try and help it? should i flush it?

Dude...thats deep. Salt?
Never heard of that one before. Gotta ask...why? Do they never want anything growing there next year? Salt?
You stumped me. These are all wild assed guesses. If you flush, I don't think it could be flushed totaly out. Maybe you could take the top inch of soil off?
Honestly...I got nothing. Sorry. No idea.
I mean they just could have ripped the plants and be done with it. Instead they want you to watch them die slowly....thats very very deep. Like personal insult deep. Like psycho old ex girlfriend deep.
Throw the question out there. Hey people!
You read braddah's story. Salt. Can anyone out there give him a hand? If you want, feel free to use this thread, or start another. Salt....What do you do now?
-
Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Grow Log....Part Two.
No shit! :eek:
Probably some other "Player" in the black market that didn't want the competition. :mad:
Salt's pretty Fucked up, you can try flushing, but unless your girls are in pots you'll need one of those deep root fertilizing probes that the Tree maintenance crews use, and an ASSLOAD of PH'd water! :(
I'm in the same boat as OH,... You got me! That's the best I can come up with.
Sorry for the threadjack OH! :o

trust me I was blown away to walk up on my plants and see them almost disappeared to nothing.. first instinct, looked at the ground to see if something had been tampered with, noticed salt crystals on the ground. obviously salt too, like they might as well left a message that said "when it rains it pours". even more puzzling this fighter plant , only has the two round leaves and is already 6 inchers tall no sign of new nodes yet has already taken a 9 foot tumble and landed on its stem with no bends or snaps or damage at all really, survived the salt bandit. hopefully he keeps fighting but jeez man. They could have just killed my girlfriend or something.
sorry for all the spam, you can take it as a complement because its a result of me posting where i found the most knowledge to be and i was already reading these awesome adventures of the maui mafia

As we taxi out to the main runway, the rain gets worse. They hold us at the threshold. Out of the mist a pair of lights slowly emerge. I have the best seat in the house. As the landing lights get bigger, a plane appears, suddenly it's screaming along, right next to us, everything behind the cockpit is unseen, except the tail, shrouded in steam, mist, and rain as the Hawaiian 757 plops down, full flaps, dumps his spoilers and the beautiful plane franticly bleeds off airspeed, and turns into a fat waddleing bus at the end of the runway..
About the time the noise reaches us we have turned onto the runway and are starting our run. Thirtyfive hundred feet later we are clawing for altitude. Bye bye Maui... Time to renew my MMJ licence. I'm on a single engine puddle jumper heading for Kona.
When I arrive, I meet up with a new old friend. He was kind enough to let me crash at his house...AND.... his better half is a GREAT Chef. I am not proud to report he smoked me under the table. Crashed early and crashed hard. Thanks again.
The Oahu gang showed up the next morning. Things at the Dr's office have gone downhill. Last year we went out to the country, and sat an a bench outside, with an oceanview. The Doctor now has an office in downtown Kona, with a headshop downstairs....what can I say? Nothing says serious doctor like a headshop as a side business. Stay classy Doc. :wtf:
My mouth got me in trouble again. One of the Oahu boys want out to pick up some goodies from his friend to take back. We all went along for the ride. At the meet I was minding my business sitting in the back. Out of the blue I was asked by the grower what I thought of the product. I said it looked great if you were buying stems...then asked which one of his children grew it...and then I offered to send him a real oz for free when I got home....
Why is everyboby glaring at me? Hell, don't ask me a question if you don't want an answer.
Back home was uneventful. All except it rained all day every day I was gone. The T/S reject was rejected for a reason. When I saw it this AM it was a ball of mold. The T/S I call topknot is doing well and had almost reached the 5 ft mark. See pic below. The seeds are a two weeks from mature. The top looks good too. Pic 2.
The seed project is working as planned. Except this plan has no Males. First batch had almost all males, this...so far...none. There are a couple that may be male, but so far nothing. Feast or famine.
My guess the mistake I made with batch 1 was hitting them with 24 hour light before they declared, creating way too many males. So I have a batch of Kush that already have declared female. So today I put them in bigger pots and an now going to hit them with 24 hour hybred light for the next month. Maybe I will have better luck working with declared girls. Maybe they all will go fag on me. I am still fishing for the 5 ft short season plant....More than one that is... Front end didn't work, now I will try the back end.
Throw it all against the wall and see what sticks.
While I have been making a hash of the last few months, my partner has been patiently waiting. He will not get serious until Christmas. Christmas day I get let into the seed vault. He always does an April harvest. He has plans, and I saw about 300 pots with dirt in them....:D.
The way this usualy works is he will create this monster, then rely on me to bail him out instead of the usual he bail me out. This long short season (Jan- May) will be many things... dull will not be one of them.
The girls in the gulch are begining to show potential. Got home, no males. That's a change. They are doing ok. Pic 3...all girls!

Looking great as always my friend:thumbsup:. Laughed my ass off imagining the browsing of smoking devises before seeing the Doc. And if it was my first time, id buy so much crap so when i go into the room to talk with the Doc, my arm's would be filled with his merchandise. Hey Doc this pipe work well? Oh btw i need a card to go with all this stuff, lol. Keep it real Doc:thumbsup:
Way to keep er green my friend:weedpoke:

If you have a mmj card, you get 10 % off. If you got the card from the doctor...20% off....If you don't have a card....you pay full pop.
Nothing says professional, like Doctor so and so's office and headshop.

Man thats just crazy man, but id say your at the right Doc. Id bet you might get some referrals from him? Sounds like he's out to make what he can with the wonder meds:hippy:
I cant tell ya i blame him as you know he is probably the ''Doc'' to go to for a card. And with the head shop down stairs, im sure everyone is going to send their friends to that Doc.
Still i cant stop cracking up:jointsmile:

There-in lies the problem.

Howzit, LSY?
I jus' gots to inject tuppence here,
based upon well-founded fear
Right doc?
Wrong doc?
If he evah goes IPO,
I'm buyin' some stock!:jointsmile:
Teaming up with the hea, um, medical supplies boutique, is brilliant.
I guess since Hawaii's head narc had this ducktors name comin' out his mouth in a newspaper article, (Head of da narcotics dept. complained dat Berg had thousands of patients and actually wrote a rec. for "bad feet".) he's gone "all-in".
I expect trouble.
Well, not personally.
I use a less mallardly physician, in town, because I can.:cool:
The "head" doctor is a long drive north and when da fit hits the shan he might be da wrong man.
Still, if you need MMJ, but lack the necessary medical records, Ducktor Berg's da bes' bet onna B.I.
For anyone with supporting medical records, I recommend the MUMs clinic and Dr. Charles Webb.
Aloha O.H.
Hope you dodged this last downpour.
We got freakin' hammered yesterday!
Lightnin', thunder, an' vertical rivers.
When it passed, we saw lightning over Maui for a couple hours.
Had me worryin' 'bout Mr. n Mrs. Herrer.
Hope dey doin' OK.:)
Next time you come B.I., maybe stay longer.
Sounds like you only got to see a tiny bit.
It's actually worth a recreational trip or two.:cool:
Aloha,

I get the drift from the good capitalistic doctor is that he is spoiling for a fight...until the state gives him one, he will continue handing out cards like a priest handing out absolution....
You are pure of heart
Go forth and sin no more.
The Dr is no longer in Hawi. That was a great set up he had. Now he's in downtown. No drive, no view, add a headshop.
Doctor Berg declared;
I'm not surprized to see you here
You've got smokers cough from smoking
Brewers drip from drinking beer
I don't know how you came to get those Betty Davis knees.
Worst of all, young man, you have industrial desease.
He wrote me a perscription
said you are depressed.
I'm glad you came to see me,
to get this off your chest
Come back to see me later
next patient please.
Send in another victim of Industrial Desease.
See??? I am a victim!!!
I looked up toward the volcano last night and saw the light show. We got a lot of rain...still is falling now. But the nasty stuff fell between us.
Mr and Mrs Herrer came through just fine. She filled a TRO against him, so he had to move elsewhere.
Pic 1 is her
Pic 2 is him
Next time I will stick around a bit longer. It is a beautiful BIG place.
Thanks again

the plant i started a few weeks ago was doing verry well, untill this past storm tore it apart, now back to square 1 :( .... so last week i germinated my last 3 seeds (well not my absolute last, my friend will give me the 10 he owes me as soon as i ask for them) 1 was a dud. the other 2 i have put into the soil and have sprouted already. the ferts are still doing wonders, only 1 day in soil and a sprout, im impressed!!! :D
any ways, we'll see how these last 2 goes, hopefully there wont be another deadly storm for a few weeks till the plants can actually handle the pour! as for that midget i had, i chopped off the crown last week, it was too early and the buds werent that great, i mean it get me nd 2 of my frenz super blazed for like 30 mins, it was only 30 mins, but an intense 30 mins for that matter. shoulda waited a few more weeks b4 samples! oh well, doesnt matter, one of my friends are gonna re veg it for me! i wanna see a miricle happen, do midgets have growth sperts after being fully grown?! well this one sure as hell will. :hippy: bwahahahahahahahahaha.
besides that, i cant wait to see if these 2 new sprouts will do well. i hope so, cuz 4 plants were wasted in my experience so far, and i want no more to be put to waste!
any ways, being that your on the topic of the doc... your gonna have to tell me where i can find this doc, i know u told me big island, and from what i read, kona side! but i wanna know directions to this place, and u said dr. berg? weather thats just an alias name u gave him or his real name, well thats besides the point, if i end up seeing him then ill find out his name. but... im not leaving this island any time soon, i gotta take care of some business down here first b4 i can leave the island. court orders, i cant get on a plane. never mind why, thats besids the point. no being niele! LOL. for the readers that arent from hawaii, nor know how to speak hawaiian, niele= nosey! well when i can leave this island ill let u know so i can get more info on becoming legal!
tips are still welcome! mahalo for taking the time of reading this newbs thread!

OH....That is a great pair of shots showing the difference in the growth pattern of male/female....Great teaching tool you have there.

Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Grow Log....Part Two.
Gol...Get the seeds you are owed...now.
Next front moves thru Mon and Tues. This one is going to be bigger than the last. Search for University of Hawaii Meterological Service. They have the best forecasts for Hawaii weather. So get ready for another pounding. The day before take steps to protect your Kekei.
You know, I know...everybody knows.. you took your top WAY too early. And the friend that is going to reveg it better be named Jesus Christ because it is far too early to have regrows happen. Kiss it bye bye. You will need a act of God to get a regrow out of it....or lights... BWAHAHAHAHA....sorry, I couldn't resist.
As for the doctor in question....look it up! He's in the book. He's real.
Ever heard of the expression, Too Much Information?...The last sentance in the last paragraph falls under that clause. If you don't want us to be nosey, don't tell us about it. Some things are better left unknown...house arrest is one of them.
WW... thank you. But I caused the growth pattern difference. I topped the male before I moved it. The Jack males and females look a lot alike. That male branched a bit more... not much, but it was noticable. But I am working with two whole seeds, so what it is, is a very tiny sample. I'm just doing the happy dance, because I have a boy and a girl (I soooo hope).
This is early, and probably premature, but I my partner owed me a favor,...long story...but he made good with three Black Thai seeds. He has had them stashed for a decade and more. One germinated. It has yet to show me HER sex yet. But SHE is out in the gulch. About a ft and a half tall.
Damn...after that build up, SHE will almost gurantee be a HE. But I'm going to copy you and give it a go.

Shit....I got nothing....not true, but not good....
I'm franticly throwing shit against the proverbial wall and NOTHING is sticking...
The Thai plant....Balls....reject.
Those kush seeds must have been femmed. Like 40 starts...all girls.
The Diesel....same thing....all girls.
I got one fuckin male out of the HB...one.
Wana hear me whine some more?
After I made my first cross the mom shows nanners...
All my hopes of keeping the phenome of the T/S line ,I love, going rests on one plant.
The Jack is going fine. Already made a cross there. And the T/S too.
With all the rain, the fields are soup.
Go anywhere out there and you will leave a obvious trail. Might as well leave a big sign...plants here....

Wow its amazing just how fast your plants grow there it seems. The gulch looks like its filled up again with what will be monster's after the re veg, right?I believe im right here, or is this an all out breed ta get seed. Im thinking 90 days and harvest bud, then ya got your re veg's for your main grow to get giant.
I do keep up here and do know you are crossing to improve growing ability in your environment, but are these plants re vegged as well. Gotta be, i just cant see you not re vegging something thats already up and lookin at ya:D. And seeds will be next years 90 day wonders, right? To then re veg.
Just trying to clarify what i think im expecting:hippy:
Have a great new year my friend:thumbsup:

Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Grow Log....Part Two.
Well we made it....another year done....
Last night was nuts...Take 10 dogs...add a pile of fireworks (not mine)...mix well...and we get a dogfight... Happy New Year...I'm getting too old for this shit.
Canni...That's my prototype guard cat...after last night...I'm thinking of going that direction...I'll need at least a hundred...maybe more...:D
LSY...I cheated a bit on those. Most of those are from batch 3. They got 3 weeks of 24 hour light. Same with the Jack. Those 3 weeks will add about 3 ft extra height.
Right now everything in the gulch will be taken by April. Those are a sativa and should get to 5 ft tall...maybe more...but it is a bit too early to start outdoor regrows yet. I think. My partner disagrees with me and has just cracked a bunch. So we will see who is right.
My day to start regrows is after Jan 21. Sativa Doms only. Use Indica Doms and you get buds by May, and confusion after that.
Speaking of confusion... That's where I am.
I used to laugh at you guys ordering seeds. Fuck. If only it was that simple.
Oh well....
And LSY....You will know when I start the regrows because that will be called...
Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise...part 3
But we'll fuck that donkey when we get to it. :D
Have a great New Year everyone. Big buds for all in 2011.

Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Grow Log....Part Two.
Sounds like ya had a pretty good New Year:thumbsup:glad to hear that bro. Its not my thing to get all pumped only to see the clock hit 12? But like to really have fun x-mas eve for some reason.
Ya ya, anyway, why not just take the bud from the plants you you have in the ground now. Its just that i think if you trimmed them down some they will not die, but stay alive until there is a change in light? Or is it something that has to do with the light and would just hermy them?
Now im only thinking of how i re vegged my indoor plants...oh and BTW new you put them plants in 24/0 light, but still their big!...........anyway, i just took the buds off the plant, trimmed some branch growth down, 2 re pots with the lights back to 18/6. Just with all your hard work, couldn't you maybe if its only around 3 weeks difference, plant late and use these to re veg? Hell then plant more to re veg as you normally would. Id try one only to see if it might save time and work, not to mention how big they would be at harvest with a jump start in growth. Damn i thought i got it the first thread or maybe just follow this thread to the end and go back and read part one again, because iv missed something. Is it a climate thing maybe?
Well ok thats it, lol:rasta:

Now I wait to see if my moron neighbor and his hellish bright, actinic, ground fountains, hemied my Jack.
He bought a new CFL porch light yesterday, so I had just gone out and tacked up some reflectix shielding for that.
So, of course, he comes to the back of his yard and starts chain-lighting the fountains.
You could read fine print in my greenhouse!:mad:
Hadda scramble for towels and clothespins.
If bad decisions were pennies, I'd have a very wealthy neighbor.

Just Another Crappy Day in Paradise Grow Log....Part Two.
its like 2am right now, but yesterday around mid day i jus checked on the 2 plants that sprouted 2 weeks ago. the last time i checked them was, well 2 weeks ago. lol. but surprizingly the last storm didnt harm then. the only thing is that i think it rained so much, that all the ferts that were in the soil got drained out.. the growth slowed down incredibly, it pretty much looks ALMOST the same as when i last checked it! so its time to put more ferts. but thats for later on today hahahaha.
tips are still, and always will be wecome! and now its time to go nai nai!

LSY.... Climate....no. It's our photoperiod. Total swing between the longest day, and the shortest day is 2 hours 25 minutes. The gulch plants can't be regrown. Unlike you, I can't control the sun. :( So you work with what you get. I also need to clear the holes and put new dirt in, and all that fun stuff.
Four weeks... makes a difference between 1 in 10 regrowable to 7 out of 10 regrowable. Your always going to have some that just go off and can't be regrown.
Shit Weez...You got what? 100 lbs of dog total?
I got 700 lbs....Buy the way, was that fire started by you?
Got the first T/S x T/S seeds off the univeral mom. She got hit real early as I let the T/S male go crazy on her sister. Lots of pollen flying that day. All the seeds were at the base of the bud. Combed thru and got about 50....so that line lives on...pay the man. :thumbsup:
A lot of these I will regrow. I feel a lot better now these are in.
Since I am a bit shy of boys....Looks like the Jack will be the univeral male.
Do you believe this? The one thai male....I didn't need.... I went there last year.
Kush...no males....HB....no males....NYD....no males.
Guess who sucks wind? Me. :mad:
wha, wha, wha.....Now I know why thet gave up those seeds...too damn easy.
Still got that Jack male....Say hello to daddy. Not a bad cross. Kush x Jack,
HB x Jack, NYD x Jack, Jack x Jack, and both Jack x T/S and T/S x Jack...you know what I'm going to say...
I threw it all against the wall and that is what stuck. Not too shabby. I still have brand x to mess with, and 4 New York Power Diesel...who names this shit anyway?
Oh...we are getting all the permits worked out....Looks like 21 holes for long season. Do more with less.
But at least with this log... Finish line....It's out there. Things should start to happen quickly now....

Fire was da nex' day anyway.
On da mainland, we called July 5th "scrounging day"
Here, it's also Jan 1st.
We'd swipe some matches an glean for the un-burned n duds, all day.

So, as usual, I blames da keikes ;)
An you no get da wind-suckin' trophy dis year.:)
Lot a dat fem-power in da air dis season fo' some reason.
Got 5 out of 6 so far.
'course I did whip out my 'scope an' checked da "naughty bits" in da seeds before planting.
Planted da ones wit da roundest 'oles.
Thought it might have some truth to it.:cool:
Until you posted your results, that is.
Now it's looking more like Lola gal might have something with her, timing is everything, lunacy :D
Nex' time I have way too many seeds, and enough room, I'm considering planting 2 a day for an entire month.

MV...mahalo back atcha.
Weez...gotta stop staring at those seeds looking for naughty parts...Plant them all and let (insert appropriate diety here) sort 'em all out.
The weather last week was cold. We never even got above 70 most of last week. This week a strong high sits over Alaska. This high pushes the jet stream down over the islands, and with the jet stream comes the rain. Later today the first of these storms move through. Later this week another stronger one take it's place.
Normal winter weather. After a couple years of drought, it feels good to return to normal. We had hail last Wensday.
Hail...This ain't right...This is Hawaii? .....WTF???
All my crosses have been made. Using both the Jack male and the T/S saved pollen. That's done. Also harvested topknot. With all the crap weather we have had it should have turned into a moldball. It didn't.
Once I have a couple of thousand seeds in the bag I can move along to the next job. The crosses are made, the rest is going to happen by itself. Nothing to do but wait and watch for fags.
Now it's time to prepare for the long season. Shovel jumping. Manual Labor.
Last year I had 4 groups of 7. Some areas did great. Like the gulch. I'm enlarging that. I'm going to stuff as many as I can fit in there. On the other hand the top did poorly. I'm going to shut that down. And in the bottom area, I am preparing it now.
As I harvest out the gulch, no more replanting empty holes. This has been a nice diversion, but long season is the prize.
I know....boring.....Sorry eh?

How are your plants?
Fuck if I know. Hope there still there. If it ever stops raining I will go check, But I'd bet they've taken a shelacking.
Welcome back Kona Storm. This one was a good one. Fifty mile an hour winds, a foot or two of rain....The town below me is called Kihei is under 4 ft of water. Power was out for most of yesterday. Part of the water line that serves this area is gone, all the gulches are roaring.
Just braved the rain and checked....They are still there!!!!. They are sideways.... But that can be fixed. The little gulch barely flowed, and the rock tiers I built ponded the water, then released it to the next tier.
The wind has stopped, but the storm has stalled right over us. As soon as the sun rises I'm going to hop in the car and see what happened last night.
Wow...just wow....stand next to a gulch and watch the boulders roll past.

Oh man that musta been one big rain man. But like Canni said ''there still there'' and you know they got a helluva root system going on under the them.
Just a thought, but when the Sun pops up the branch growth should just pick up and grow toward the Sun. So could ya just make sure the roots are covered enough to get them through budding or do you need to get them off the ground asap! I was just thinking of the purple plant i put in side ways and how each branch grew up to be all colas. It was ripped off so i only had a sample of it, oh well. But the thing looked great after watching the growth find the Sun and they were getting fat too.
But you da man bro:hippy:so im sure you know what to do. Great pic's man! I just luv seeing some of that part of the world as il never be able to see it in person:( But i can come here and live it through the killer thread man:D
My idea was only to try and save your ass the work, but like i said, you know what your doing there.
Thanks again for for the great info:thumbsup:
Keep er green man:weedpoke:

Remember....This is all bullshit.
We got more rain in the last two weeks than we had all of last year. The last two storms have left behind a total of sixteen inches....by my count... And the last one is at our doorstep.
Fuck me running....Just what we need....more rain....Yes.... That would help.
This one is not as strong as the last two storms. And less wind too. All the girls have been proped up. I broke the top off the biggest one in the process...so I fucked up....again. If the wind comes up again I can pull the props and let the plant fall over to go with the wind.
But, hopefully that won't be necessary.
Anyway....we were thinking last year....what would happen.... If we were to take a couple of pounds of seeds....That's right .....pounds....and dump them in a flowing gulch.
At the time we neither had the seeds, or the flowing gulch.
Guess what? Remember my partner? The one with the seeded long season last year? Like 8 million seeds?
Now we do....:D....and we did....:D
Yep....We just Johnny Appleseeded all of Kihei.... Bombs away....:D....Perfect timing, see the water, it flows rarely. Those gulches are dry. Once it falls off the hill, It flood plains, Spreads out, Drops seeds and dirt...all throughout wherever it lands.
Do you think ...for one second....that we will go chase the gulch later and see what happened??? Hell no....Well....maybe....Hhhhmmmmm....
I don't think so. I have a feeling we just caused a giant Green Harvest problem. This will be messy. More better I start the ball rolling and bail...
Asshole...Yep....that's me....:D
But... If one in five hunderd of the hundred thousand seeds or so, we dumped sprouts....thats two hundred plants...who knows what will happen? Where will they pop up? Maybe they got into the sea? Maybe they will pop up on S Kihei Rd. If they do you know where they came from...ME. Yep... There will be a gulch full of weed....somewhere on the slopes above Kihei
Who cares?.... We just wanted to give them a shot....Dust in the wind. If green harvest finds them??? Fuck 'em....get to work...Sweat you bastards....you got a shitload of wild weed to pull...
Who knows?....Who cares???
See? This is what happens when we have too much free time.... This is all bullshit anyways. We would NEVER do that.... Hell yes...we would. In a heartbeat....
What do you think? Do you think I would dump a whole shitload of seeds into a wet flowing gulch....just to see what happens???...NOOOooo..

Tick tock Tick tock. I smell D day comming up. Been shovel jumping, Getting ready for regrows.
Damn....Has it been a year already? How time flies when you are having fun. The short season girls are well into bud. They should make it to six feet. I have repaired the storm damage, and they are running on their own now. All I want is now to get them out of here so I can clear the holes and start long season already.
The rain has left, headed south. We have a good strech of nice weather so no mold problems yet.
Sorry... this is a dry one. But there should be a harvest soon, so all is not done yet.
Now a few pics...
1) The universal mom... T/S
2) The gulch looking down.
3) The gulch lower part
4) The Jack mom
5) Bottom holes cleared out and ready for dirt drop.

For those of you following this log, you will remember aways back, I mentioned leaving the plants in small pots, not transplanting them, and get 2 ft plants just for crossing purposes.
Well I did, and it worked. I started with some Kush, Diesel, and Hash Buds girls. Not a boy in the bunch. As a rule these are short plants, and the seeds were all indoor acclimated. I have crossed them with Jack, Batch 3, and Brand X males. The Jack and 3 are full Sativa. Let's see....
I will have...sorry this will take a while...about 20 crosses when I'm done here. Maybe a few more. I don't know.
So now I have seeds comming out of my ears. Some promising crosses....Lots of ways to go.
Now we are cooking....Shit....this worked....Amazing.
And my timing is perfect...pardon me while I pat myself on the back....:D
Pics
1) HB and Kush moms
2) Daddys left is Jack Middle is Brand X and Batch 3
3) Diesel moms
You know what today is? Regrow season is now open. Anything from this point on planted here now has a good shot of regrowing.

How's that for tempting fate?
At least so far....This log is close to done. I give it two more months max.
We are to the point where this log starts to bleed into Part 3. This is this, and that is that, and never the two shall meet. But in fact this seed run sets me up for long season.
This was just what I needed. I wanted to go in a different direction for nex....shit. see? It's bleeding already.
Anyway....To recap, I took males from my T/S, the Jack, Batch 3, and Brand X, and crossed them with female T/S. Jack, Batch 3, Kush, Hash Bud, Diesel and Brand X.
Over the last month I have been watching everything develop. I'm running on Autopilot now. I can make some decisions off of what my girls are telling me.
For instance, I'm going to scrap the T/S line. It's too fluffy. and has a few sterile nanners.
Batch 3 looks to be a winner. It goes big, with wide branches, a wonderful smell, and the bud compounds and fattens up quick. This is allegedly one of my old strains I lost many years ago, but don't tell anybody...for the life of me I can't remember it. :wtf:
My wild card is the Brand X. It has lavender hairs, and though early in the show. It looks good. I would have liked to get ahold of this earlier, I'm not proud of the little plants, but I kept them small and managed to cross the females with itself, and the males were crossed with everything else. So I can kick that can down the road and mess with it later.
And the Jack is a wet dream.... You can see my drool spots all around her. I've just started taking seeds of of her. I will lose yield, but quality will be top notch. This will go lon....damn it! Bleed some more you idiot...
That's it! Piss me off for the last time...Fuck it all.
Let's get this road on the show....I'm so ready for Part 3.
I need to get this puppy moving. Wheel that fat broad out here to sing already.
Here is a bit of Bud Porn
Pic 1) Jack girl....don't step in the wet spots.
Pic 2) Batch 3. Flower tips are compounding.
Pic 3) More Batch 3. two different phenotypes.
Pic 4) A kush girl. Notice the height difference. And yes, that is prototype guard cat at work....it just looks like he is sleeping.
Pic 5) Again not proud of this. Brand X girl.

Hey Canni. My cat does the same, But it's small and eats very little.
Remember that rat problem aways back? Fixed now thanks to guard cat. Even the big boys in the attic. Put him up there for a while, no more rats. Neat the way that works. No more cages needed for sprouts...:thumbsup:
I thought the dogs would have stretched him by now. I'm a dog person, but I gotta admit...guard cat (AKA Twitch)...is pretty damn cool. I guess I now own a cat. Or it own me...whatever. :wtf:
Now if I could only get the damn dogs to stop using the gulch as their own private toilet. Early morning, cup of coffee in hand, wander down, check the girls, all happy, and HIT A STEAMER!!!
I think it is a conspiracy. They get together in the morning and decide which plant to drop land mines around.
"That one's nice, dump there, there,....no left a couple of feet... there...good". "Now a quick spray here, and here, and our work is done."
Oh well...I digress...back to our regularly scheduled broadcast...
