Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[sky rocket]

I've heard great things about GSC, I didn't know it was a durban cross..I love durban! I'm going to have to get me some. What's the Forum cut? I get confused and annoyed trying to find genetics, you can have 10 different breeders with the same strain, but wildly varying plants,depending on what traits they were bred for.

Forum cut is from the original breeder. I think the the original Gsc was made by the cookie fam. It was a clone only strain at first.

 

[420producer]

I'm hoping some international seed distributors will pick up my seed line. I was also able to pick up Blue Dream, Trainwreck and Headband. I'm not sure what I'm going to name them yet.

Dreamy Cookies? Blue Cookies? Cookie Dream?
Girl Scout Wreck? Wrecked Cookies? Cookie Train?
Cookieband? Girl Scout Band? Girl Scout Head?

A little background on the strains I'll be breeding the GSC with.

Agent Orange (Sativa) - Super citrus smell, a little sour. If you've ever had Tang you know the smell. It has a great head high that makes you want to go and do something. This plant grows super fast and is a big producer. These seeds are going to be really special.

Pineapple Express (Sativa)- Smells like fruit with a hint of rotten something. I know it sounds weird but it actually tastes amazing. Not quit speed weed but still a pretty stimulating high. This plant grows twice as tall as everything else in the room. Hardly any leaves but huge buds spaced far apart.

Black Widow (Sativa)- This is the black pheno of White Widow. It smells like Pine-Sol. It brings me back to early to the 90's smoking B.C. weed and listing to Nirvana. By far the strongest smelling of the bunch. Classic uplifting high. It takes forever to finish but it's worth the wait.

Pre-98 Bubba Kush (Hybrid) - Rock hard nugs with virtually no trimming. Just solid golf ball sized buds of joy. It has the classic coffee, earthy smell and tastes like OG Kush. This will knock your dick in the dirt. It's really strong and the high lasts a long time. This plant finishes in less than 8 weeks!

Grape Ape (Indica) - This one smells like red wine. The nugs are super dense and white with frosty goodness. Heavy Indica body high that knocks you on your ass. It's great for movie night but don't expect to get any work done. Another quick finisher. I'm extremely excited about this mix! I think the two strains are going to compliment each other well.

Cinderella 99 (Indica) - This is another grape, berry, fruit strain. It's not as dense as the kush strains but super frosty and sweet tasting. Another great night time smoke.

Skunk #1 (Hybrid) - This pheno smells more like sandalwood than skunk. It has a wonderful woody smell with a spicy taste. This strain took awhile to start flowering then finished really quick. This strain has a nice balanced high.

Green Poison (Hybrid) - This was the surprise of the bunch. It's a mix of Durban Poison and Green Crack. I love the smell, taste and uplifting high. This might be interesting because GSC also has Durban Poison which as always been my personal favorite Sativa.

Blue Dream (Sativa) - This has been a staple in the Northwest for awhile now. Everyone loves the sweet, fruity smell and taste. The high is very uplifting and cerebral. Where does space end?

Trainwreck (Hybrid) - One of the all time classic strains. known for being a huge producer it also has a wonderful spicy taste and aroma.

Blackberry Kush (Hybrid) - This cutting has been winning awards around the Pacific Northwest and is amazing. I've seen nugs that look completely white, like they were rolled in sugar. The smell is sweet and really does taste like blackberries. It's not super strong but it tastes so fucking good you'll want to keep smoking it.

UK Cheese (Hybrid) - I'm not sure what's up with this strain. I know it's supposed to smell cheesy but this pheno is fucking crazy! It smells exactly like a bag of fresh soil. It tastes amazing. I don't even have words for it. It's like trying to describe what an orange tastes like...it tastes like a fucking orange! I wouldn't be surprised to see something really special come out of this pheno. I've heard this strain is really different but I've never grown it myself. Even the bud formation is weird. It has really small leaves that become completely covered in resin.

Headband (Hybrid) - Another OG Kush SFV cross this is the original Headband clone passed around for years and praised by many. It's known for the long lasting cerebral high and great flavor. This might be an interesting mix with the GSC because they both have OG Kush SFV in them. Sour Diesel and Durban Poison are both amazing Sativas so these seeds could be a great day smoke.

Mystery Kush (Sativa) - This cutting was supposed to be the OG Kush SFV cutting. I drove all the way to bumfuck to get it. Well I know my OG Kush and this ain't it. It's really dank but looks more like OG18 than OG Kush. It's a full Sativa with long thin leaves. It has that classic coffee, earth, skunk smell but it's not the SFV cutting. I have a buddy close to me that just got the real deal though. It won't be long before I have the Holy Grail. I'll flip the OG Kush to male and make my own version of Girl Scout Cookies!

So all these strains are going to be mixed with the Girl Scout Cookies (Forum cut). The Forum Cut is my personal favorite. Although I like the Thin Mint Cut the Forum cut has more of that spicy Durban taste and high. I call Girl Scout Cookies, Happy Weed. Everyone that smokes it raves about it! In fact I'm choosing to smoke Girl Scout Cookies as I write this now.

I would love to get some of these seeds into everyone's hands. One of you could end up with the new hot strain. It will still be a few months before the seeds will be ready. The plants still have a few more weeks of veg. I'll let you guys know as soon as the seeds are online. Wish me luck![/QUOTe

well skunk bud . im glad i ran into into this thread. i am very interested in bringing some down south to the tahoe area. and blow some minds.both here and in colorado.where they are doing a lot of pineapple express this rip

Cherry Pie Plant:
Cherry Pie is an Indica medical marijuana strain that is comprised of the cross genetics of Grand Daddy Purp, F1 and Durban Poison. It should be noted that it is extremely rare to find the real; stick version of Cherry Pie that both tastes and smells like a thin mint, however, when you do - you'll be sure to know it's the real thing. With the most superior of Indica-based genetics, it should come as absolutely no surprise that Cherry Pie has garnered national recognition as one of the best medical marijuana strains in the entire Bay Area. Some patients believe that Cherry Pie is actually just a rejuvenated version of Cherry Kush, but many growers and caregivers will beg to differ because this strain maintains a 3x over Indica-based property.

Cherry Pie Effects:
Depending upon the specific batch that you get your hands on at your local medical marijuana dispensary, patients may experience a bit of a comedown after the long, 2-3 hour type of buzz that comes with smoking Cherry Pie. As a 3x over Indica, this is definitely a heavy strain but it cannot be confused as being a downright paralyzing strain. This strain produces more of a tranquil body high that makes you feel as if you are melting and buzzing at the same time. Cherry Pie produces both a significant amount of medicinal properties to the body and mind in the afternoon and late evening hours.

There are a few cuts of Girl Scout Cookies floating around. The best known are the Forum cut, Thin Mint Cut and Platinum Girl Scout Cookies. All of them are amazing.

My GSC is actually looking more like the Thin Mint cut that the Forum cut right now.I have a buddy that's going to hook me up with an OG Kush SFV cutting. I plan on feminizing it and using the pollen to make my own version of Girl Scout Cookies.

Do you know what turned out to be the best strain? The Grape Ape! Holy shit, this strain smells and tastes so good it's all I want to smoke. It smells like wine and tastes like a grape Jolly Rancher. It has more fruit flavor than GDP, Mendo Purps or any other "grape" strain I've ever tried. The nugs are small and dense with very little trimming. The sugar leaves are completely covered with resin and will make some nice BHO.

 

[StinkBud]

BHO fun!

I've been making my own BHO for awhile now but I haven't talked much about it much. I thought about doing a tutorial but it's just too dangerous of a practice to promote and I couldn't live with myself if someone got hurt. I do think it's import for me to talk about safety issues though. So here are a few things you should think about when before blast your own BHO.

1) Never do it indoors
2) Never do it around any electrical appliances like air conditioners or heat pumps.
3) Leave any electrical devices in the house. (phone, camera, vibrator, etc...)
3) Always do it in an open, well ventilated areas. A big field is nice.
4) Don't wear clothing that could cause sparks.
5) Don't rub your feet across the carpet and then touch the boiling butane plate.
6) Buy a fire extinguisher and keep it near the blast zone. Learn how to use it enough that you could operate it while on fire.
7) Make sure your will is up to date.

Interesting information - I have a big, dildo shaped glass blast tube that I bought on Ebay. It came with the screens. I buy my BHO online by the case. I like the 5X filtered butane that costs about $30/case. Each blast uses 3 cans of butane. 90% of the resin comes out in the first two cans. The third can just finishes it off. I usually get aroun 7-9 grams per blast and I'm able to stuff about 50 grams of bud/shake. Bud runs produce more resin while sugar leaves produces less (duh).

I have a vacuum purge unit that connects to a valve/pressure gauge. The plexi-glass lid let's me watch the BHO. The valves let me mushroom the BHO perfectly. I use a standard pancake griddle to keep the temps around 100 degrees. I'll usually purge 1-2 days. Basically I watch the shatter and when it stops bubbling for a few hours it's done.

Here's a rundown on the temps. These are really rough numbers. If you want exact temps google it.
95°-110° - Shatter
120°-130°- Budder/wax/crumble
150°-170° - Honey Oil

I winterize my shatter with pure grain alcohol. I add 5oz of alcohol for every gram of shatter. Then I stick it in the freezer for 24 hours. When all the wax settles to the bottom I filter it through 5 coffee filters. Then I purge it again for another 24 hours.

Funny thing is I virtually never do dabs. I have more BHO than I anyone could ever smoke and never hit it! I know this sounds crazy but it's just too strong! I can puff all day on 25%+ flower but a couple of dabs will turn me into a drooling mess.

 

[OGMMJ]

Super cool Stink! Thanks for the guidelines, I have ran my own bho maybe a half dozen times in the past always turned out decent, it's cool to see different strains produce completely different consistencys even when put through almost the identical process.

Been reading into tinctures a lot lately would like to try out a few different styles when I get this system running in a schedule, would like to try making vegetable glycerin as well as alcohol based, I also have been wanting to try to dissolve my reclaim into something as well seeing as it is already decarbed then be able to just add it into meals

 

[StinkBud]

Alcohol tinctures are great for under the tongue and and topical but it tends to dry your skin out. Not to mention it tastes nasty. Glycerin is better for topical. Coconut oil is great for cooking.

Anyone get a brown sediment in their res from the botanicare? I mixed up new batch 2 days ago, (PBP grow, call mg, liquid karma, hydroguard, silica) it was dark tea colored after I mixed it, 1.5ec 5.6ph, swings 65-70f over the day. I looked at it last night and the water is almost clear and there's a brown, dirt like, sediment in the bottom now. The sediment is not slimy, almost waxy feeling, from what I could feel. It wouldn't mix back in. I'm wondering if the nutes fell out of solution? It was a new gallon of PBP I just opened, I need to check the date code make sure I didn't get an old one. ..fml....always something.

I'm not running air stones, just letting the waterfall effect aerate the res , 80sec on/8 mins off timing.

I know I experienced this the first batch I mixed up but that was also the batch that gave me the rot

since then I have a black res so it's difficult to see if the layer is down there but from what I can feel there is some sediment, but I have also been adding hydroguard and a dash of pondzyme every 2 days. Off work today so probably will change the res out anyway even though it's only been 4 days I think, I'm interested to see if the brown layer is still there and how if the walls are slimey.

You're fine bro. You need to stir up the res everyday when you check it. I just keep a piece of PVC pipe next to the res and give a quick stir before I check the PPM.

 

[OGMMJ]

So here's an update from last night, I'm still dealing with the rot but the addition of hydroguard and pondzyme has seemed to start breaking down the rotting roots and they come off by the slightest touch, new roots seem to be growing white and healthy but we will see over time, I'm going to try and wait till the weekend to change the res and just add hydroguard and pondzyme again today, I believe this is day 5 on the Rez change I did over the weekend when I got the hydroguard and pondzyme. I've added them both to the Rez once since, and will add again today or tomorrow, I moved my ww big bud over to the vegger because it was becoming deficient in the cloner. Will closely watch those roots to see if they are healthy or not.

I'm noticing that in my cloner the plants will grow secondary spidery roots but once I switch them to the vegger then tend to just shoot straight down and kind of clump together, is this just the natural look seeing as they are just hanging in air? I feel the clumping is bad.

My EC is about .7 (measuring ~350 ppm)
Temps staying nice under 68 in the root chamber and 65 or less in the water.

My question have about 20 seeds germing right now And don't want to give them all the rot, I currently have a seedling in the system that has been introduced only after my "cure" (hg and pondzyme) so I'm trying to hold off from putting my new seedlings in the system (keep them in rapid rooters) until I see if this new seedling has only healthy roots or if it also gets infected from the other plants still having some rot, because I would much rather toss these 6 or 7 plants and bleach scrub everything and start fresh with my new seedlings then slowly introduce them and have them all slowly develop the rot.

So...basically I have the plants that I'm trying to recover from the rot and I have introduced a new seedling to my cloner that will be the "control" and see if it develops any rot or anything sketchy now that I have implemented bennies into the Rez, I really want to stay away from sterile but really don't want to be constantly on the verge of disaster.

hey Stink i was wondering about your cooler veg units, i built up a few and i was curious what approach you took. are the pumps inside the cooler? are you stacking the coolers to separate the roots from the res? my design works great but of course has some flaws and prob could have been better.
also for any scroggers out there im looking for advice on my canopy, i did ok with keeping things level and even but i feel like i have too much leaf covering up top and nothing under will develop, little light is getting thru... but i read that its not good to remove the leaves...

 

[OGMMJ]

Damn Joey that's looks good, hope I can get the rot away and keep it away and start getting some nice lush green plants, also I have to give you kudos on that canopy everything is nice and even, those all the same strain?

 

[WeedFreak78]

You're fine bro. You need to stir up the res everyday when you check it. I just keep a piece of PVC pipe next to the res and give a quick stir before I check the PPM.

Thanks, after some research i figured it was the liquid karma, seems to be common in passive res's. My buddy, who's into saltwater tanks, noticed i had dead spots in the res when it cycled, so I moved my pumps to the opposite ends of the drains and everything gets well stirred up every cycle now. I was extremely surprised in a small tote that there could be stagnation, but I watched it cycle and there was no water movement on that end, the sediment didn't even shift.

Ahh good thought, I also have sediment and also run liquid karma, I think when I get home I'm going to watch my pump kick on, good thought, my pump is in the dead center of my res so hopefully everything's got some movement.

 

[OGMMJ]

I believe I found the culprit of the rot I've been facing!

Upon getting home from work last night I checked my cloner bucket ph and sure enough it was right back up to 8.0 after being ph'd to 6.5 on Tuesday!

Figured there had to be something growing still and the bleach water rinse last change and didn't run any bleach water through the pump or sprayers! Oops!

Popped open the pump and sure enough, the brown slime devils that are most likely the cause of the rot that I could not understand why showed up.

Anyways I took some pictures of the gross brown gooey junk

Soaked everything in a strong bleach solution and let the system run with a bleach solution as well for about 10 minutes, rinsed throughly, will change again tomorrow and probably again for the next few days to kick the bleach smell down. (Seeing as I'm
Running bennies in my vegger)

Refilled with half tap half RO

THENNNNNNN forgot to turn my pumps on.... So they didn't get watered for about 2 hours, they are a little wilted right now but I'm sure they'll be back tomorrow evening,

Put a 400mh I had laying around in the tent in replace of the 250w CFL, (my veg tent temps stay real low, stack stone basement) and the extra heat is actually helping keep it a bit warmer, also expect a little more aggressive growth under the 400 vs the 250.

I'll take some updated pics tomorrow evening, getting nice new long white roots.

I've shut my pumps of for over 12 hrs before, a couple times, once with bigger plants vegging in the rails, everything was lying on top of the rails, but the roots were still moist. They bounced back within 24 hrs and recovered in 2-3 days. It's not good, but I don't worry about it that much anymore, only if there's a long term power outage.

Keep the uninfected away from the infected. You may have to shut down an run a bleach mix for a day or so. Then rinse and start fresh.

The containers are stacked to keep the roots away from the water. Don't get crazy trimming!
