Same, same! It's going to be a good day when I chop my blue shiva.

Hell yeah mate, can't wait to smoke her fine buds

I have grown both separately and liked them both so that's cool. I'm on to other things now, but good to hear they mix well and never know I may come back to them at a later point. I will check out Flowamaster's thread

I was the same mate so i decided to bring them together, twas a good decision!!
The blue shark is a winner too, my last one had an incense type of flavour to it, her smoke used to knock me for 6! If you are in Oz mate, I can send you some beans to try out?

Yeh I've read through your extensive seed list. It's impressive!

It is indeed, I'm envious of some of the strains he has

I am a few continents North of you up in SE Asia. All sounds like some good stuff. Cheers on the collection, its the collection of a madman and someone (me) which is highly passionate about this plant . Its been built up over the last ~10 years and really over the last 4-5. My starting goal was to have a huge collection and then start crossing and pollinating to never need to buy again....Thats still my goal, but I cant help but to buy more when I see something impressive, though these days without a job, hadnt been too much purchasing.

Ah no worries mate, I'll look into if they have extradition orders with Oz and if they don't I'll send some up. The last place I want to get extradited to is SE Asia ha ha.
Nice work mate, I had the same idea when I started too, then all these amazing, dank strains come along and bam, now I have over 180 strains in my bank and not enough room to grow them out

Funny enough I always get Attitude to guarantee orders and send out of breeders pack with a tshirt or whatever and have only had I think, 2 orders in last 5 years taken out of a ton of orders. Greenman Organics sent sealed inside breeders packs and they came through from US not 1 issue. I just shook my head

180 in the bank is fucking awesome. Who cares if you can never grow them all out, its so healthy to grow them, hell give some away thats what I do lately

Yeah I've had many orders over the years and (touch wood) never had one get snagged. My issue sending overseas is that our postal service require photo ID to send anything international, we have to sign the customs declaration with ID so if it gets snagged in another country, they'd know who to come looking for

Ha ha thanks mate, I've been an avid hoarder since the days of Marc Emery! I still have some of DJ shorts original blueberry that are close to 20 years old, they were what I used in the crosses, they still popped too! I've been giving quite a few away lately actually, only really keeping the ones I know I will pop share the love hey!!

Well, I kade a decision to chop the NC x candyland and the NC x purple dream, even though they still had another week to 2 weeks. I found some bud rot on both so just took the gamble to chop, they weren't stacking up due to the heat and had little to no trichomes at all. Sad but better to cut my losses i think just have to hope these 40 degree days don't mess too much with the other girls!

thats a loss mo, there must be a way to keep them cooler? i dont know, only ever did 1 indoor op, 4 x 600w hps, thought i had enough ventilation till it got to 44C!!! needless to say they got sick and caught all sorts of bugs....straight back to outdoors after that scare...though one day when circumstances allow i would like to master the indoor scene...im hoping your LED op goes through well, soon enough those LED's will have everything the other lamps can offer without the ridiculous heat

I wish there was mate, I've tried hooking up my intake fan to a bucket of ice (air sucking through holes) and it didn't cool it at all, tried adding more fans for air flow, didnt do anything either. The fact that where my grow box is, it gets the hot afternoon sun so it doesnt cool down till early morning only outdoor for summer next year hey, not doing this again lol.
Cheers man, I'm hoping this LED works too, I'm screwed if it doesnt ha ha. I have seen some solid grows with them though so pretty sure it will give me something

wow....yep rooms that catch the afternoon sun in summer are shockers for heat buildup, can you recommend some LED and where they can be purchased on the eastcoast?

Fuck yeah mate, room gets so friggen hot. If it's 35 outside, it's 38-40 inside and it stays that way till early morning! Ridiculous! At least my outdoory's should make up for it, which is good
My LED is an Advanced Platinum P300 mate. I saw some grows on grasscity and 420 that made me take the plunge. Wish I had've waited a few months and gone for the cree cob though, they look like awesome lights!

you should have a look thru TTYstiks grow in the vertical section. Very cool stuff going on with cooling of the feeding system and lights.

How's things going brother? The outdoor gals look to be loving life

Yeah things went pear shaped pretty bad hey, my grow box just got way too hot so had to pull the girls in there, some 2 weeks early! The outdoor gals are going very nice though, fading a bit earlier than I'd liked but hey, there is some lovely frost on them right now and they still have a month or so to fatten up
I just got back from 4 days away and the damn pump didnt come on for my cuttings and seedlings so the cuttings look cactus...the seedlings dont look too bad, shouldn't had fed them the compost tea before going though, came back to some nute burn!!

Your not having much luck this past month or so mate.

I chopped the bb X white shark last week. She struggled the whole way through flowering. Popcorn sized buds, not much smell average resin coverage. I got just under 7oz from it. It is still way above average smoke wise though! I smoked the scraping from the pruners and it fucked me up. I wasn't expecting her to be so potent!! Will put some pics up later on.
