SpicySativa's Organic Garden

[SpicySativa]

Each one mainlined for 8 tops. 48 colas in the making.

Quick update on the Vortex. All's well.

Looking like a masterpiece in the making. I'm thinking about dabbling in some TGA now. Whatch ya think about DQ and CQ?

 

[SpicySativa]

CQ was excellent. I grew out four, and got four distinct phenos. All tasty, frosty, and stanky. Haven't run the DQ, buy I will at some point.

 

[DonPetro]

Curious as to why all TGA gear has such a wide spectrum of phenotypes in most strains. Is it a generational thing?

 

[SpicySativa]

The way I understand it, TGA doesn't do much inbreeding. This leaves you with more variation, but also more vigor, and more possibilities of find something special.

 

[SpicySativa]

Jeez. I think they grew an inch overnight. They must be happy I stopped cutting their heads off and let them grow for a minute...

 

[MzFarmer]

I've got mine at 8 tops right now 6 for the other... I broke one off and cut another so that I could clone her.

 

[SpicySativa]

Nice. Looking similar to mine?

 

[MzFarmer]

They look like the same plant all together. My favorite has had "GOOD BUD" smell since it got it's first leaves. I mean she stinks bad enough that if I didn't have the filter you can smell her all over the house and she hasn't been flowered yet! I'm pretty excited about her. I hope she yeilds well. She's a bit more "leggy" than most of your (I love a good pair of legs) The smelly one looks the most like the one pictured in the back in the last set of pictures by you.

 

[SpicySativa]

Sweet... You wouldn't guess it now with them all mainlined, but one of my 6 females was easily twice as tall as the rest before I first topped them. I can't even tell which one it was anymore!!! Really should have numbered them. Oh well, I'll find out soon enough I suppose.

Mine are pretty stinky for veg, too.

 

[SpicySativa]

Are you under MH light, too? My 6 Vortex are under two 400 watt MH, and will flower under two 600 watt HPS.

 

[MzFarmer]

My 2 are under 600W MH right now but from this point on they will be vegged under a t5 with CFLs to suppliment. Well the clones are going to grow up that way. these "moms" are going to grow up up under the MH. I run a TINY perpetual grow and it makes me happy because ordering seeds makes me paranoid and I'm not a californian or any other type of cool state person... I'm soon to make one more order. I'm going to order some AK47 (reg) and attitude has a HELL OF A PROMOTION going on for it's birthday. Starting tomorrow you get 11 free seeds (while supplies last) when you make an order over 100 bucks So I'm going to take advantage of that try my hand at breeding with the AK males.

 

[SpicySativa]

Nice! Thanks for the heads up on the Attitude promo. AK-47 is on my short list, too. Maybe now is a good time to place that order.

I just recently dismantled my veg cab and doubled down on the flower cab. No more perpetual for me. I prefer just tending to one batch at a time. This way I can power through a trim session and know I don't have to worry about it again for about 3-4 months!

Make sure you have the carbon filters dialed in when you run the AK....

So I hear! Have you run the Serious Seeds AK-47? If so, how recently did you buy the seeds?

I have read that Serious Seeds is constantly tweaking and revising the AK, which could explain why it has won both Best Sativa and Best Indica at various cups over the years. I'm just curious if their current stock is leaning sativa or indica.

 

[SpicySativa]

Ahhhhhh..... Takin' a load off with some XJ-13 bubble.

I did run the Serious Seeds one (wasn't aware there are others) but it was years ago. I also bought some Kali Mist on that same seed order and fell in love with it.

 

[Mohican]

Spicy - That looks yummy! I think I will do the same!

 

[Bugeye]

Yum, that does look like one tasty bowl. Inspired me to pack a bubblegummer.

Why not grow 6 different strains if you aren't cloning? Variety is the spice of life. Makes both the grow and harvest more fun.

I grew a Serious AK47 two seasons ago and it was straight down the middle hybrid. Enjoyed it quite a bit but haven't had it lately. Down to my last couple nuggets of that one.

 

[SpicySativa]

Bugeye - When I was running clones, I liked to have all the plants identical so they were easy to take care of. I'm over clones for a while... And now with all the pheno variation within each strain, running 2 or 3 strains at a time shouldn't be that much more difficult than just one.

I'm doing half and half next round. It's probably going to be half TGA Querkle, half Gage Green Daybreaker (assuming the beans are in stock when I drag my ass to Harborside).
