The links aren't working Shov! I want to see them :(

Here's some Foxy Seeds "ghani Dream x Bog Medley" 'speriment.

Here's good old bubblegum, though a little wee honestly.

some Z'ghani plants...I like them pretty good last time, now they have the 'ghani x BOG Medley cross...Hmmm

[attachment=o171413]

I am liking what I am seeing here... that cross looks pretty interesting.

Nice job Shov!

Same like that purple colour in the cross.

I trimmed a third Z'ghani plant today. Still watering the remaining 2 Zs, 2 Foxy' ghanis, and the bugglegum.

Jack, I hadn't seen any hint of purple in the five "Z" plants. Maybe you mean the Foxy Seed Afghani Dream X Bog Medley cross?

Anyway, this morning I was inspecting the remaining five plants and one "Z" has a lot of purple showing on her, more than any of the other plants! The positive power of suggestion, maybe?

I jarred up the second Z plant this am. Less seeds, weighs about an ounce and a quarter. The third Z plant I pulled is trimmed and hanging to dry.

Thanks for your inputs, folks!

Be sure to give us a smoke report Shov... BTW, curious on how long do you cure your buds? Everyone one is different but I thought I would ask.

MVP :thumbsup:

what i would like to know is how much bud you get after all this is done

I would like to know where the celebration is going to be held.....:D

hell ya ! Shov's grow rocks ! . what else could ya expect from an old biker ? :thumbsup: :jointsmile:

Curing takes 4-6 weeks but the herb seems to get better after that. So, the smoke reports would be down the road a while.

Probably a half pound all trimmed and cured.

WH, I'm still celebrating the last grow!

Thank you ,All.

Shov

Well where were all of us while you were celebrating.......?? :D

I'm in Vermont, US celebrating life each day! I assume each of you are doing the same where ever you are. I'm gonna head down the road to my bro-in-law's to light one up soon. Se you there? LOL

Have a very happy day and please, careful on the roads.

Merry Christmas Shov,

Great grow, you are a great insperation for me to achive similar results.

Thanks and may you have a great New Year.

Thanks, Season's Grootings to y'all too!

Today I jarred the third Z plant and put the 4th into darkness ready to dry in a couple of days. So far the first three plants dried out to 1 - 1¼ oz each. I checked the bubblegum and it's just starting to show a couple few amber trics. The other two 'ghanis are still putting out fresh bud, slow but steady. We are now in the 11th week of flowering!

Sho

yah UR buds look killer. SH.

Merry Christmas Shov. You'll have to give me a smoke report on that bubble gum once its done curing.

Well today I put the last (5th) Z into it's 36 hour pre-harvest darkness and hung the 4th Z out to dry. I think the two Foxy Seeds afghani hybrids and the Bubblegum will be harvested within the next week, which will be 12 weeks of bloom cycle (more than the advertised eight weeks). They are starting to show amber a little bit.

I will be curious if the Bubblegum has seeds like the Z plants have. This would be an interesting hybrid as the BBG is not a hybrid and has been growing here for years.

The initial smoke report on the first Z plant (which was the smallest) is very positive. Brother pretty much loved it, and he's a fussy pot connisseur! It really does need to finish curing, though I thought that it is pretty potent herb. I think that I will start smoking on it and put the little bit of 'ghani I have left from last spring/summer grow away for a bit. I have about 5-6 joints worth left.

Thanks,

Shvl

11 weeks, a long blossom time, huh?
Well, I have all the Z plants drying or curing and I think I'll shut down the lights on the Bubblegum and the two afghani x bog plants this weekend. There are a few amber trics, still some clear trics but mostly cloudy ones. Some afghani buds are still putting out pistils though...what do you all think? Harvest or wait another week (12 weeks)?

This. I wouldn't mind having a bit of ganja, been a few months since I've had any extra money for it :( I will hopefully have some soon though :jointsmile:

Great grow!

WH, I think the best thing would be for us to spit the difference. yah, I'll harvest next week and just smoke it here when it's cured.

Thank you!

Sho

Hey Foodsy! I have a few friends in Wisc. But they don't smoke anymore, drat!

Shovelhandle

DRAT???? I haven't heard that word in YEARS.......!! :D

I pulled the buds from the stalks and put into a paper bag to finish Very nice purps!

I'm gonna sign off as I'm listening to Bob Marley Live at the Rainbow and I and I inspired to smoke a spliff and enjoy Jah music, mon.

The (2) afghani and the Bubblegum are picked and drying. Some trics are still clear, but after almost 12 weeks of flowering....wtf.
It should be pretty good. Here are some of the Z'ghani buds that have been curing. Each photo is one of the plants and weighs a little over an ounce. I have three others curing. Two of these are nearly two ounces. Taste test is positive, nice smooth smoke and great stoney high.

You sure you don't have a light leak around somewhere???

I'm sure, it's dark as a dungeon. This is my third grow there too, though the temperature ranges were lower than ever this time until I corrected it.

Thank you,

Sho

Maybe your growroom has a ghost that is stressing them :wtf:

glad they pass the quality test :)

Here are the final three plants dried, trimmed and canned.

Bubblegum doesn't seem to have ANY seeds. I forgot to weigh this but it's just short of an ounce.
[attachment=o173304]

One of the Foxyseeds Afghani x BOG from seeds I grew out last grow.
Yes, it is very purple.
[attachment=o173305]


Another Foxyseeds Afghani x BOG but not purple.
[attachment=o173306]


All Put Up. Total, well over eight ounces.
[attachment=o173307]

Oh ya, the Bubblegum looks fuzzy, it is actually super-frosted!

I'll update with better photos and smoke report when it's cured.

Shov

I see you have the microscope I just picked up. I can't seem to keep my hand steady enough! Seems to be more useful in viewing individual trichs than a cluster hahaha. Maybe a little too powerful, BUT still fun to use!!!:stoned::stoned:

Nice stuff you got there!!! Good job!

Balkey,
Try putting some little leaves, calaxes or bugs, etc on a table and practice working with it (buy some batteries : ] )

Thanks,

Shvl

Shov,

What power is your microscope and are you able to examine the flowers with it while growing? I stopped by the local hydro shop last week looking at one and was skeptical that it would be useful for me. I also wear reading glasses, which kinda makes looking at detail a bitch anyway.

Man, very nice grow! Enjoy the crop!!

:thumbsup: Farmer Rich

Thats what I do as well since the shakes is way to much to freehand check out a plant. When I got the scope someone else here ad posted about trimming off small leaves from top, middle & bottom of the plant then check them on a convenient flat surface.

Lovely buds there Shov, on the hunt for some nice colourful plants I can do myself.

Thanks Rich,
I have to clip tiny pieces of the bud off and view them on a table. I wear glasses and have to take them off to use the scope, it's a bitch.
The little microscopes are $14 or so in Radio Shack and are adjustable from 60X to 100X.

Shovl

Just like Jack does. : )
Thanks, Jack.

I packed up my bowl and took a hit. Smoke is mild and smooth. No expansion or choking.

Look at the picture (please enlarge). Lots of frosting!
[attachment=o173873]

I took two more hits, now I will wait for a bit.

The afghani-bog trial
The afghani x bog I tried yesterday was great! I smoked up a bowl around 10 am, did a bunch of chores, shopping, went swimming laps for an hour and was still WRECKED at 2:00 pm, I shit you not. Not the most couchloak, dibilitating high, but a strong head buzz that really hangs in there.

I expect that the Foxy version is even better, though the yield and bud size was slightly less/smaller.

And even better yet, I expect this bubblegum to be a winner.

I'll report on this bubblegum and the foxy-afghan x bog another time.

Thank you, I'm buzzed <G>

Shov

that bud looks very nice :thumbsup:(is that a couple of seeds in the top right corner?)
