Shov Winter 2013-2014 Sativa Grow

[Shovelhandle]

I like indoor, outdoor, back door, sidedoor. I like indica, sativa, hybrid, africanica, afghanisanica, new world, old world, small world. All my favorites.

Bloom Week Six
Nine Mango Haze. I just fed them a compost tea with Age Old Bloom, Biotone, Meta-K, molasses, mycorizzhae Excelite and Maxi-Grow. Shut off one of two 400 watt hps, still have 216 watt T5HO on one side. The nine buckets just fit under the one HPS for good light penetration at this time.

I like the way you think! So you've never had a 'buddy' you didn't like! Is your first grow of MH? Was curious about the flavor. A lot of blueberries develope most of their flavor towards the end of the cure. Was wondering if the same was true for the MH, & if tasted like mangos. I'm into the flavor as much as the high, sometimes even more so. When the time comes, I'm going to have a hard time waiting for the cure!

Yes, my first grow of this strain.
I read that the original hybrid did have some mango scent or flavor, whatever but it's not a strong trait of the strain. It's all about the buzz. It's like Super Silver Haze but betterer.

Now I just have to clean house... toss out about 500 seeds of my hermie prone Z11 x Neville's Haze crosses. I gave them a couple of runs just to see if the hermies were stress induced. Nope. But no worries, I still have five other hybrids from Neville's Haze males crossed with G13 x Nor Cal Daddy's Girl, Super Silver Haze x Blueberry, Super Silver Haze and some of these back-crossed to Neville's Haze again. When I finish this run of Mango Haze I'll think about growing the next sativa crop using these hybrids.

Another six weeks or more until harvest. They are stable since the transplanting. I expect a bloom spurt very soon.

Shov,
Have u heard of a product called nature's big bud?
I believe it's just castings yucca and some trace minerals.
An experienced organic farmer gave me this info.

Simplify and standarize my tea's. 1 gal pure water, 10 drops calmag, 1 teaspoon Big Bud, and some fresh EWC

What do you think?
