Phenotypic expression is one of the most fascinating things of genetics hey. The issue with most pot strains these days is that they are no longer homogenous or 'true breeding'. There are a few exceptions like skunk and blueberry as they have been worked on for years to make them true breeding. All these strains that have multiple lines in them and only been around for 5 years or so show such a large variance in phenotypes, it takes quite a while to find the one you want. Most people wouldnt know exactly which one they want though, most are just happy with good quality weed

Amen brother!

I have only grown for like 3 years so my experience with any strain is pretty limited, so I don't even really know what they are "supposed" to look like. Someday maybe. I am glad there are those people so I can find out from them....like you!

Thanks man.

i think like you said, there isnt a "should be type", that type is what most people like, or the original breeder liked so its like thats the best.
i feel like if it's your favorite, then fuck what others say, you are not selling it so who cares what other people have to say about it, pure or not pure, good weed is good weed

Dude you know how to grow wicked buds, this thread is evidence of that after a while you just know what you want and you know what to look for just keep doing what you're doing!

Some pics of the gals veg'in. Still in love with this LED light. Girls are growing very fast underneath it.

The front three in the pic are (L to R) Desert Diesel, Sour Diesel, and Bubba Kush, behind them are a Sage n Sour, Dr. Greenthumb's Emdog, and another Bubba Kush.




Humboldt Desert Diesel. I plan on leaving her unaltered except for taking some clones before she goes into flower. She looks so dope.





And here are the smaller ones still getting established. I plan on replacing the T5 with a couple of LEDs after the results I have gotten.

Starting in the back L to R is Trainwreck, Amherst Sour Diesel, Critical Hog, Bubba Kush; middle L to R is Bubba Kush, Green Crack, Cheese, Bubba Kush, Purple Haze; front L to R is Sugar Black Rose, Bubba Kush, a tiny little Kosher Kush, and Blue Dream.



All are looking great! I started hitting them with compost tea (AACT) using Progress Earth's compost tea in a box. After two weeks I can definitely say it is the shit (ha ha, literally) and I will keep using it for sure.

care to supply me with a good newbie link to get informed about water-farm growing?, I must say u have awakened my curiosity

i hope this helps this looks beautiful

I would totally love to help you out. Fire away with any questions. I can start off a with a little of the basics:

WaterFarm is technically the trademarked name of a grow system by General Hydroponics. It is a recirculating, drip fed system that utilizes a reservoir of nutrient solution that is pumped up through a column (using the physics of airlift - same concept as vortex brewers if you have ever seen those) to the ring, which drips the nutrient solution down through the grow media, down all the roots until it reaches the res again to repeat the cycle. No water pumps are needed, only an air pump. Now, that said, I don't have General Hydroponics WaterFarms. GH did something awesome, they made the kit available so you can turn anything into a water farm. Mine are simply 5 gallon buckets, with 10" net pot lids (you can find these at any grow store and online). The kit consist of a pumping column (it is a tube that another tube with the airline running down alongside it sides down into), a grommet for the drain/level tube hole, a drain/level tube, the ring assembly and an air line. Literally every grow store in my area (lots of them too) have these for about $12-15. So I just snipped out one of the areas on the bottom of my net pot, installed the kit, filled my net pot with media and transplanted the plant I want to grow in there (I use growstones, but you can also use hydroton (not my personal recommendation) or perlite (really great). I put 3 gallons of nutrient solution in the bucket, put the lid/media/waterfarm kit/plant on and that's it.

If that is confusing let me know. Or if you have any other questions. I can totally get some pics together for you too, that might help. Just ask

nice dude! they look awesome

 

[duudical]

Flower room update. Looking fucking awesome IMO ha ha. Stoked!

The Bubba Kush is looking great. So crazy how all the pistils went orange in only the 5th week. I have had other strains do this as well. Makes it look really cool though

 

[duudical]

The Sour Diesel is pretty much my new bar. She is the most impressive plant (to me) that I have grown so far. Anxious to see how things develop on those three large tops

 

[duudical]

This Blue Dream strain from Humboldt has always grown the most beautiful looking buds. You can see how frosty it gets. The high is like flying in the clouds for an hour or so and then slowly relaxing back down to earth until you are like pudding 3.5 hours later. Ha ha. It is definitely dreamy.

The lighting is horrible for pics, so it's hard to get the full effect. But she is lovely. And all the fox-tailing is interesting.

 

[duudical]

The Emdog has long roots coiling in the bottom of the bucket so she is really starting to thicken up. I have her topped for 8 and trained down so now it is just letting her get huge!

 

[duudical]

The Sugar Black Rose is also moving along nicely. The Waterfarms definitely outpace the coco hempy buckets for sure.

Hoping she leans towards the Indica quite a bit - we shall see.

 

[Tmoney22]

everything looks awesome !

Thanks TMoney!

Ha ha, my son's name starts with a T and I have called him T-Money for 22 years
