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:
:rasta:

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.

:rasta:
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,
(no, really)
ALO HA!
Weeze
