Jerry Garcia's Blue Widow, Blue Apollo, and Mystery Seed From Start to Finish

:mad:Last Night I went down to do some laundry and decided to take a look and found the HPS out:mad: I did get it to come back on last night then when I came home today it was out again I know it is not the bulb but the ballast I did smell the burnt varnish smell from over heating so the F@cking Ballast went bad. It was a handy down so that is not an issue.

Well I Guess it is harvest time now. I don't know I have to think about this.

wow man that tough luck...at least it didnt happen earlier though. By the pics it seems like youll get plenty of weight good grow jerry

MEDI

Well I took a look at the ballast and I will let the pictures speak for me:D

you can buy a ballast at home depot for 20 bucks, and some cfls, as a temporary lighting till u get your hps back, or order a new one online right now should be there in a few days, hey Jerry, hit me up with the names of some of the best haze strains these seed sites got

Inspectah,

I really don't know what to tell you. I have never grown any Haze. All I have grown is White Widow, THC Bomb, Blue Widow, Blue Apollo, Purple Power, and Mystery Seeds.

The White Widow and Mystery seeds, were from Buy White Widow marijuana cannabis seeds from Holland. The Purple Power was one of the mystery seeds from here.

The Blue Apollo and Blue Widow were from Joey Weed Seeds

The THCB were gifted to me from a fellow grower.

Sorry about the HPS JG.....sh*t......the plants are still loking bomb......and man another great suggestion from you for InspectaEX was the Joey Weed Seeds from Hemp Depot....i know they still deliever to the US.....great show.....sorry for the recent turn of events.

Thanks Killa:thumbsup:

The HPS is back up and running, They only got a few hours extra of darkness. How much I am not sure. I doubt they will hermi on me for that or at this point in the grow.

All that was wrong was the power lead connecting to the ballast burned up. so I removed the burnt wire sections striped new sections and reconnected. My first impression was wrong Thank God So I am good to go for now.

JG

Lookin good JG, glad you got the ballast worked out. You mind stopping by epsiodes 3 and 4 and let me know what you think about my first bonsai attempt? thanks man

Wow they are getting BIG. I gave them a drink of plain water on Thursday. My problem is the taller ones are beginning to fall over They want to go to the light. How I am countering this is by bending them back towards the walls and at about the midway up the stem I give a bend until it is almost to the point of snapping and it causes a slight weak spot in the stem and the weight of the cola causes the cola to lean towards the wall and not fall over.

I have taken a few samples from the lower buds and dried them out. So here is an early smoke report:thumbsup:The Blue Apollo has sweet smell to it and is heavily covered with trich's that are mostly clear. When smoked, out comes the blueberry flavor not strong but noticeable and is a smooth hit. This leads to a slow creeper but eventually very strong heady buzz ( the type where you can't remember shit from one minute ago.) and lasts a very long time. 1 four inch long bud has lasted me 3 days. 1 bong hit will give a real good buzz, 2 you are completely stoned:stoned:, 3 or more you will be drooling on yourself. It is a very sedative buzz.

Tomorrow I am off to State Collage PA to see the Dead play so I am going to let them go at least until I get back on Tuesday then it may be Lights out on Wednesday and Harvest on next Saturday.

Also thanks everone for stopping by for the support The last week has had some real twists and turns but I have made it thru ok:thumbsup:

JG

Well the time is here to harvest and here is the first,

BA #4 came in at a final height of 51'' and the largest cola is 3'' wide and 12'' long. She is a heavy weight with buds that are rock solid. Most single bud-lets are 1'' in diameter and 1.5'' long. Estimated final weight 3.5 ounce's.

JG

Damn. that is a nice looking batch right there for sure!

She came at 58'' tall and with Big heavy buds that are slightly fluffy. The largest cola is 4'' wide and 16'' long. I estimate final weight at around 3.5 oz.

JG

She came in at 50'' tall and with very thick and heavy buds just oozing with resin. Colas are only 2.5 inches wide but make up for it in dead weight.

She came in at 55'' tall and has big heavy buds that again are oozing with resin. The colas are only 2'' wide but very dense and 18'' long.

She is one of the bigger Ladies and came in at 61'' tall with huge fluffy buds that are completely covered with resin, She is a little leafy but so sticky that I left a majority of the bud leaves because they are so covered with resin. The colas are 12'' long and one is 5'' wide and have a purlple color to them.

She is the smallest of the Blue Widows and came in at 43'' tall. The colas again are very dense and heavy oozing of resin. I did top this plant at the first day of flower as an experiment and came out much shorter but more colas the weight at this time looks comparable to the others.

Well she came out to be a very nice plant indeed :thumbsup: Big thick buds and a slight purple to them. Very nice resin production and looks to be a winner can't wait to try her out. She is 42'' tall with 3'' wide colas that are 10'' long.

Hey Jerry nice looking buds

you should try growing some haze strains

She is a monster at 71'' tall with huge fluffy buds. She can't support herself at all and snapped when I took her out. I was able to prop her up for the pics though.

more pics of her

She also was a monster at 68'' tall and produced some of the largest tightest buds of them all. they are 3'' to 4'' long and 2'' wide. also this plant turned a purple colour in the leaves the last 2 weeks looks like something happened and am not sure what?

coulple more pics

She is also a very nice plant very similar to BW#1 big tight buds. She is 62'' tall.

Coulple more pics

Damn man that harvest is massive! good grow, looks like ull have a nice supply of some fire to toke on...wooha

MEDI

Well I also harvested these plants but didn't take pics due to time constraints.

I ran into a big problem with Mystery #1 It had bud mold:( I ended up cutting out the infected areas and thru them in the trash and saved the rest). This is a bummer because this plant had some extremely nice tight colas. I estimate I lost around 1 ounce of prime bud to this, so it is a loss of around 25% from this plant.

Blue Widow #3 was a poor performer meaning the buds never really got big like the rest.

All in all I feel this grow went very well considering the circumstances, By the looks of things I feel I will surpass 3 pounds this grow:D Some of these colas are so big and heavy I would not be surprized if some weigh in at over 2 ounces.

Well Everything is harvested now and drying I will update you as this progresses.

JG

Nice job, it a bummer for the mold... Any humidity problems ? Do you have any idea how this happen ?

Great run JG! Lovely BWs there:greenthumb:

InspectahEX,

Thanks for stopping by and support, I may try haze in the future, right now I am thinking of Matanuska Tundra for my next grow, plus I have 8 cloans from these plants going and will probably bring them back from hibernation soon and start another crop.

Medjuana,
Thanks for the compliment, Yes this is probably the biggest harvest yet :thumbsup: And yes it will last a very long time.

SnStealth,
Again thanks for stopping by, Yes the blue widow came out very nice. I have not sampled any yet so I can't give a potency report yet, But the Blue Apollo is excellent, I smoked a joint of it with a buddy and we only could only smoke half of it before we were completely stoned for over an hour.

LuciferN,
I have no idea how the mold started. I am sure the humidity was down, The only thing I can see is the buds on this plant were so tight that there was no airflow in the buds, creating a perfect environment inside the bud for the mold to grow.

JG

Great stuff! nice bunch of plants.

WOW.....what a nice log JG......i love seeing start to finish logs.....awesome pics.....beautiful harvest! Looking forward to the next JG show!

Well Here are some pics of them drying out. Man Is that alot of bud:D

Thanks Shov and Killa12345.

I do try and make my logs more of an instructional log and for record keeping. I just kinda wish I did not have as many plants this time. It was a pain in the butt just to water them this time around and also not being able to inspect the plants better I feel I would have not gotten that bud mold.

But like I said I have got an unbelievable amount of bud so I guess it was worth it, but I don't think I will try this many plants again.

JG

hey jerry, really nice grow man! i've been lurking around watching but not posting, but thought i would post to say what a great job you did with those plants

by the way i love your screenname, fellow deadhead i guess?


peace Jm

Wow it has been a while but I have not forgotten!!

I am going to go right into it with the weights of each plant. After drying and curing they came out alot lighter than expected but still significant:thumbsup:

Blue Apollo 1 = 59g
Blue Apollo 3 = 65g
Blue Apollo 4 = 53g
Blue Apollo 5 = 63g
Blue Apollo 6 = 38g
Blue Widow 1 = 70g
Blue Widow 2 = 54g
Blue Widow 4 = 78g
Blue Widow 5 = 68g
Mystery 1 = 82g
Mystery 2 = 35g
Mystery 3 = 44g

Total comes out to 645g / 23oz/ 1.44lbs.

Now for the smoke report,

Blue Apollo :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: All I have gotten is rave reviews from this strain, it has a fruity sweet smell to it and a very smooth smoke but has a MULE KICK of a buzz. All I have heard back from my friends is "it is the best smoke I have had in years". I highly recommend this strain.

Blue Widow,:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: This strain is also getting rave reviews but not as well liked as the Blue Apollo. It has a very unique smell and smoke that is hard to place. the best description is a floral HASH smell and taste. When you smoke it, you would swear it is hash you are smoking and also kicks your ass buzz wise, extremely potent. The only reason the BA is liked more is the taste and smell. I also highly recommend this strain if your a fan of hash.

Joey Weed seeds,

This is the best weed I have smoked for a long time when it comes to the quality of the high:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: The only complaint I have is these strains are a blueberry cross and I found no hint of blueberry in the taste or smell, so I do not know what is up with that. Also these strains are very stable meaning very little variation between plants, same taste, same buzz, and similar growth. I am about to order more seeds from Joey Weed soon so stay tuned I will start a new log soon.

JG
