Blue Cheese, PPP, Thai SS...Jerry's Second Grow

[Evil Buddies]

that chiesel is looking real good jerry. I'm just waiting to get set up again and by looking at those pics will prob be in two weeks. I will be growing some cheisel cheese and barneys farm lsd and anything else i can get my hands on.

Waiting for that chiesel smoke report bet its some tasty shit.

fuckin awesome my dude! your gonna love those trainwrecks i know i did! too bad for both our teams out the playoffs huh

Pretty stoked for the TW's. They are freaking huge now. I'll get some pics tonight, I promise!

As for our teams...at least they made it to the playoffs. The Bengals managed to stay healthy until the last couple weeks of the season we had some key guys go down and it really hurt us down the stretch. Oh well, just counting down the days until the draft now I guess.

Thanks Evil. I'll let you know how the Chiesel tastes in about a month. It has really improved in scent over the past couple weeks and it's getting nice and frosty. Should be tasty.

On a side note, I've been running my 400w MH lamp for the last week or so in an attempt to minimize the stretch of the plants that just moved into the flower room and to mix up the spectrum for the mature plants nearing harvest.

Updated pics to come tonight. Well, I'm at least going to take the pictures tonight. They'll get uploaded as quick as possible.

The last Blue Cheese and the LSD both came down last night. Well, the bigger buds anyway. I've yet to trim the smaller stuff...probably do that after I post this update.

Chiesel. Close to harvest, but needs a little longer.

Here's the fist-sized top bud. Just a solid mass really.

A nice shot of her trichs.

Next, the LSD moments before harvest.

Blue Cheese, also moment before harvest. Thankfully, those dead leaves weren't too hard to remove. My only guess is they got burned from the new batch of Ocean Forest I was using. Not sure though. Oh well, still smells and tastes amazing.

Blue Cheese. Starting to get a little purple hue in there. Unfortunately that's just the leaves. The bud appears to be green...which is good too!

Large buds post-trim. Blue Cheese are in the front, LSD in the back. Can't really see the LSD buds because it was hard to take a pic inside the box.

Here's a half-shot of a couple LSD in the back. I had to trick my camera into focusing on something outside the box (that I thought was an equal distance from the lens to the buds) and then blindly move my camera back into the box and snap a shot. This was the best one because it's actually in focus. I need a nice Digital SLR...anyway these buds are VERY dense and stinky and crystalline.

Same deal with trying to focus on the Blue Cheeses. You can see the purple tinge though despite the poor focus.

Here are the JTR (front) and Trainwrecks (back). The TW on the back right has been droopy for the last week or two. Watering doesn't help, not watering doesn't help, so I figure it's just going to be droopy. Other other is looking quite strong though. As are all 3 JTR's.

I tried to label this pic so I don't have to explain which is which...but the text turned out smaller than I liked. Whatever...just squint and lean close to your monitor. In this picture are Power Kush, OG18xSkunk, SleestackxSkunk, JTR, Chiesel, Blue Widow, and PPP.

Here are the three that will remain in solo cups for their entire life. Hope the two skunk crosses are female!

Finally a top down shot.

My camera crapped out before I could get pics of the two LSD, Chiesel, Blue Widow, and PPP plants that have been in flower for about a week or so. The Blue Widow was stretching pretty good so I supercropped her back down to size. The two LSD's are both stretching pretty good themselves, so they're probably in line for a supercropping in the next day or two. Once I get the rest of the plants out of the flower room I'll being transplanting those 5 into large white pots and I'll probably transplant the TW's and JTR's and whatever else I can into black half gallon pots so the roots can expand a little beyond the 24oz solo cup.

Now to trim up all the popcorn and get another round of scissor hash! Oh, and I think the PPP will come down tonight when the lights come back on. I love harvest time

 

[warisnottheanswer]

wow they lookin great jerry! u keep gettin better each grow my dude! that chiesal looks sick is it a stinky girl?

 

[SL2]

Those buds look awesome Jerry. The youngins look good too...

 

[Jerry Garcia]

Thanks war. All I try to do is build off my previous experiences...both the good and bad.

The Chiesel sure is a nasty little girl. I just finished manicuring the top few buds and had to stop already and clean the scissors. Very resinous. I just took a hit of the Chiesel hash on top of some LSD in my little pipe and it is heavenly!

It's not the most pungent plant I've ever grown. The scent gets overpowered by everything else growing with it. Though after trimming a little I can already smell the soma diesel.

I'm pretty damn stoned right now for only taking one hit off that bowl...

Oh, I took some pictures too. But I'm too high to upload them. Soon though. Did I say I'm pretty high off that one hit? Awesome

 

[Jerry Garcia]

Thanks skeet. I just transplanted 4 of the other plants into large white pots and was struck by how good I thought they looked at this point in their life. This is my first go around with the BioBizz Light Mix, but I added some FF Light Warrior, perlite, worm castings and 9-3-2 guano. I didn't really measure anything...so we'll see how that works out.

I've been toying with the idea of doing a SOG using my small black pots to maximize efficiency, which I feel is well short of maximized at the moment. That's not really a problem, because I'm high as shit off some crazy good organic bud I can already produce, but who doesn't want to increase yield and maximize efficiency?

Anyway, I can probably fit 24 small black pots in the same space I can fit 8 larger white pots. Plus I have the side shelf that can hold 5 additional black pots, giving me the potential to fit almost 30 plants in my little flower room. A yield from 30 clones, flowered immediately after rooting, would have to blow away anything I'm pulling in now. It's kind of like that "harvest a pound every three weeks" concept where I would be periodically introducing new plants in a rotation, except I'm using soil.

One of the biggest benefits of the SOG I can see is that I would be growing out a single main cola with no branches. This means my canopy will be all top buds and I don't have to worry about light penetration with my 400w hps.

So that thought has been floating around my brain for a while now, but I thought I'd share it with you fine people in hopes of hearing your opinion(s). So what do you think? SOG or no SOG?

 

[SL2]

I would give SOG a try J. See how you like it and the results. More is allways better! lol It may work well in your set up...

Go for it! SOG away!!!
As I've already mentioned, my space for growing gets smaller and smaller..yikes.

Whereas, my goal before was to veg to the max, I have now opted for smaller plants. I get clone happy. That was my motivating factor. I LOVE to clone!

BTW, when you say you keep those clones in the blue party cups for their "duration"......just how long is that? I would imagine they get root bound at some point. Do you just tos the mother at some point? Or do you flower and end the cycle?

Buds looking primo.

I think you misunderstood just a bit. The blue cups now are being used solely for the "party cup competition," so they will stay in the cups for the rest of their lives. I am topping them all today, then rooting those tops (provided the sleestack and og18 are females). But the blue cups are just for this competition thingy.

At the moment I don't have any mother plants, so I'd need to start there.

The more I think about it though, I like being able to grow a variety of strains and introduce new strains to the garden at a whim. Doing a sog with mothers might limit my ability to do that a bit.

I will try out a mini-sog though, where I will take a handful of clones, root them, and flower them immediately so I can get a feel for how large the plants will get and an approximate yield.

 

[Jerry Garcia]

I snapped a few quickly yesterday or the day before.

First is the Chiesel, just before harvest. The trichs are mostly cloudy with very few amber. I could have let her go longer but I didn't feel like waiting.

Here's the PPP just before harvest. I actually got nauseous while trimming this bitch yesterday because the smell was so pungent. It's not a bad smell, it was just very strong.

Here are the plants that have flowering for about 2 weeks. Left to right: PPP, LSD, Blue Widow, Chiesel, LSD. I did some supercropping the other day...I'm hooked on it now!

Here's the veg shelf. I transplanted two of the three Jack the Rippers and the two trainwrecks. I topped one TW yesterday, going to top the other and the 3 JTR's in a few minutes! And the Power Kush, OG18xSkunk and SleestackxSkunk...shit...

Finally the flower room in-situ. I could really fit a TON of little black pots in here...

That's all for today. I'll try to get some shots of the curing LSD and Blue Cheese...the LSD is the most crystalline and stinky plant I've grown to date. It also gets me REALLY HIGH and I would recommend it to anyone!

 

[SL2]

Looks good Jerry. Nice variety. I am like you and want to try many strains. Are the ones in flower all from clone? They look good.

Glad to hear that about the LSD. Did you harvest it yet or take a sample? If you harvested it how long did you let it go? Sorry if I missed it if you posted already...

Good job and thanks for the pics!

What is the party cup thing?

 

[Jerry Garcia]

Yes, all flowering plants began life as clones...the LSD were SUPER small clones I didn't think would root. They were the bottom two branches of the original plant I had to take after the top failed to root. But boy am I glad they both worked because the LSD is some of the best, most potent weed I've smoked, and it's only been curing for about 5 days. It makes me stupid.

I'll give a final report on the smoke once it finishes curing, but as of now the smoke is pretty thick and has clear skunk/earthy undertones. I open a jar of this weed and people can smell it 20 feet away within a couple seconds.

I'm not sure exactly how long I let it go for...you could probably go back through the journal and find out when they went into flower, but I don't feel like doing all that work LOL. I harvested around January 10th or 11th.

This is what the party cup thing is all about ---------> https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/285065-party-cup-competition.html

 

[cappeeler09]

yur shits lookin good bro,specially the chiesel.....how come the leaves r purple is that just from flush
nice 1 for the rep aswell m8,rep to u

 

[Jerry Garcia]

Thanks cap. The Chiesel turning purple is probably a combination of cooler day and night temps (it's winter) and flushing/light feeding towards the end. The PPP was also VERY purple at harvest. It is also likely a genetic thing with the Chiesel...some strains are just more apt to change colors.

I did a variety of things to the vegging plants yesterday. Some were topped (all 3 small party cup plants and one JTR) and some were LST'd (1 TW and 2 JTR's). Did some more supercropping on the flowering plants too. I love shaping my plants!

All tops taken have been placed in soil and will be my next set of clones. I still need to clone the two untopped JTR's in the event they turn out to be a special phenotype.

Pics coming sometime. I'll get some of the drying/curing buds as well. I am very pleased with all the plants so far, but the LSD is quickly becoming a favorite...

 

[feminized]

Whats up! Great plants! I dug through your journal like mad and I cant find a final weight on you ppp plant anywhere.... Do you know your average weight on a ppp how about your flowering time? I'm a month into Flower and drooling over the PPP.

 

[Jerry Garcia]

Honestly I'm not real good with getting final weights...I have this terrible tendency to smoke it before I get a chance to get a total weight.

However, I did weigh most of the PPP before moving it into jars, and it was something on the order of 40 grams. Granted there are still some smaller buds I didn't harvest immediately that are drying, so that number will be larger.

Suffice it to say the PPP is a good yielding plant. If I were to grow a plant for "commercial" reasons it would probably be this one. The bag appeal and scent are both fantastic (very crystalline), it's very easy to grow, it's fast to flower, and it can take a pretty good dose of nutrients.

For flowering time I'd say it's at least 60 days...you could probably go 65-70 and get some nice amber trichs, but I like to cut mine a bit earlier than that.

Either way I am pretty happy with the plant...especially as it was a free seed I received with my blue cheese purchase

 

[Jerry Garcia]

Here we go...

Blue Widow

BW again

LSD I

LSD I again...

LSD II (I think...)

LSD II again.

Chiesel

Chiesel again...

PPP. Notice in this and the next pic how much more yellow leaves are on this compared to the other 4 plants. That's because I transplanted the others into larger containers with 9-3-2 guano and 1-0-0 castings amended to the biobizz light mix and fox farm light warrior.

PPP

Trainwreck I. Getting a little yellow herself. I hit her with some extra nutes but I may top dress some high n guano in there too. She has been flowering for a few days now.

A little droopy because she's thirsty. She was fed right after this.

Jack the Ripper II.

JTR II

Little PPP. No room for this one, so she's gonna be in the 24oz cup for the rest of her life.

Veg room. TW and JTR in the larger cups. Other stuff in the smaller ones.

Power kush, Sleestack skunk, OG18 skunk, BW, JTR...all those are in there.

Clones! Many of which have rooted!

LST'd TW in veg

Another angle

Again

Twisty stem

Sorry for being terse but I'm in a hurry

 

[SL2]

Damn J you have a lot of plants going on. Looks nice man. Whats up with the curved leaves on the PK?

Jerry do you flush? Cant decide if I am going to flush or not. What are your thoughts?

 

[SL2]

Awesome plants. That LSD has a big ass stem man. Like that chisel. How did you like the TSS smoke after cure? Worth the time?
