I got 2 hygrometers on the way to go in my mason jars and just ordered more airpots this morning -- 2x 5 gallon airpots and 12x 0.3 gallon for seedlings. Airpots due to arrive Saturday (?) - I will be popping 4 cheesequake, 4 ace of spades and 4 timewrecks Sunday.

She is pretty much at the start of harvest window now I think... all those trichs look pretty cloudy to me. Density on the buds is very good, I think I may end up yielding more than apollo #2 due to density being higher. I think in a week she'll be a bit fuller on the top buds with some amber trichs so planning on taking her down this coming tuesday at day 70. I'm going to start checking her trichs every day or two now if I start seeing them go amber I'll cut her before then but until I see that or she reaches 70 I'm gonna let her keep going. She may actually be the more desirable pheno... denser buds, more crystally, less leafy and the early bud samples I think the #1 was a headier more potent high than #2 but that was a couple of weeks ago before they were both fully mature. She looks more like the original genius which is what i'm searching for and it's the hardier plant.... so we'll see how the smoke compares... and of course i'm already committed to one more run at least of each... really 2 more as I'll be taking cuts on both before they go to flower again and I make a decision on a keeper...

Not too much longer on med man too but she still has at least 2 weeks I think. Pretty psyched from here on out i'm harvesting plants every week or two :) White Russian I think will be done either late next week or the week after too - she is a fast finisher.

Those are looking absolutely great! I'll be very interested in following your journal...have been looking at Busy Bee LED.
Good luck!!

Controversy! Well I'm not going to hate on you for believing what you believe -- to each their own is my philosophy... but you are probably not going to find many here agreeing or sympathizing with you including me :)

First, I was a brother's grimm fan back in the day when they were still around and joey was still making f2s... their genetics would be just about gone in seed form if not for subcool, which would be a fucking shame. I'm unaware of where else you can get apollo 13 seeds -- they weren't even available back when I grew apollo 11 before so to me it's awesome I even get to try the strain.

No subcool didn't make these strains, but he took the time to backcross apollo where no other breeder did. As far as saying 'he didn't make these strains', let me ask you WHO DOES?? NO ONE invented weed but God/jah/the universe/whatever. Everybody else is just breeding what they have found or were passed on. Where did all the strains we have come from other than landraces? Some guy found or was given a plant or seeds and crossed it with some other ones. That's what sub does. I've seen your complaint before, not sure from you, but my philosophy is unless you can do better it's just whining -- unless you're more accomplished than he is your words to me are just words from some dude on a computer I don't know jack about. I know what's sub's done. He's done a lot that I respect him for accomplishing and he's living the dream out. No offense but I got no idea what you've done other than grow some plants maybe and complain about sub, so that doesn't really mean much to me :) All I know is my TGA seeds have been the quality of the strains I've grown so far this year and you rarely ever hear a complaint about sub's seeds. Not saying other breeders aren't good or even better but sub's got the strains I've been interested in and I trust the quality. And no he's not the only person who does them TGA is a team of people (The Green Avengers).



I doubt I would learn a lot from his seminars either they have to be geared to people of all knowledge levels and I already know a lot :) Unless it was 'subcools elite advanced techniques' seminar I'm not sure what you expected. $60 for a 3 day seminar from subcool? Sounds like a fuckin deal to me dude I've never heard of any kind of 3 day seminar that cost that little for anything! Just because you already know a lot doesn't mean it was a bad seminar.



I'm fixing to be growing four TGA strains, of which I plan to identify a keeper clone of each over several generations -- so the TGA jars have a purpose. Storing my TGA nugs. TGA is one of the few breeders who you regularly hear about finding a good keeper from out of one 10 pack (compared to multiple packs for many other breeders), so i'm going to be reaping the rewards from their seeds for a long time to come.. the least I can do is throw sub money for a couple of nug jars while I grow what would be thousands of dollars worth of bud on the street with his $75 pack of seeds.... I'm not selling mine but I'm just saying... the shit I grow is always better than the shit on the street and I suspect if I wanted to sell the bud from my keeper strains they'd command top dollar. Then again I live in a shitty weed state so you gotta have a really good hookup to get real quality bud here -- it's not cali.

As far as the Weed Nerd show, to each his own. Just because you don't like his music doesn't mean it's shit. I like about 75% of what he ends up playing but not everything... and yeah when he starts headthrashing or something to music instead of talking about weed I just fast forward it. So what? It's not like it's live without commercials, dude. Most of the time it's fairly amusing and good information. If it's not to you just don't watch -- is there a particular reason you feel the need to bitch about it online???? I mean I hate a hell of a lot of shit in this world but I don't go into people's threads and start ranting about it :) You seem real concerned about sub for some reason I'm not sure why... I like subcool, and there are others I don't like (for example Rezdog/reservoir/whatever it is these days) -- just cuz he's a douche I don't go into people's threads and make a big post about how he's a lieing douche ;) But that's a good example -- I don't like him for a real good reason (he's a lieing douche selling people lies) not because he's just successful at what he does. If sub were selling strains that weren't what he said or sending out a bunch of shit seeds, or having real shitty service then I would see your points... but you don't even have real good reason to bitch about him other than you think his stuff is overpriced and he's making money off of it and isn't 'creating' strains but crossing them for the most part.... those aren't what most people would call real valid complaints (especially since his seeds sell for less than most other reputable breeders) -- like I said I get mine for $75/10 pack how many REPUTABLE breeders can you get elite genetics in seed form for that price? Not sure I know of any. I'm not planning to breed with them so I don't care if they are stabilized. I'm only looking for a keeper to clone.








:wall:

I took a bunch of pics last night but didn't post'em... will be posting end of week 6 apollo shots tonight and other shots from last night after shift change at 8PM (i'd guess pics around 10pmish) :) Watered the apollos this morning with plain water... topdressed #2 with some supersoil (since i figure she has 2-3 weeks to go... she responded well to topdressing at 3 weeks in). They've had some more burning even with the low n-p-k big bloom so it's probably going to be just plain water from here on out...

I got a swarm of lady bugs crawling around my grow room. EAT THEM BUGS BITCHES GOBBLE GOBBLE

Well this is a late "like" but kudos and ditto sir...enjoying the thread and subbed.

So just took the apollo down and cut it into small buds in to cure. Ended up with 3.1oz. A huge 3.1 oz... some pretty fluffy buds -- I have a feeling if I'd had them under the 400w/led combo, I might have doubled that.. we'll see next time... i just gotta figure out how i'm gonna set that up. Wish I were more of a handyman kind of guy have an idea of what I'd like to set up but I definitely do not have the ability to construct it. Have an idea for a grow box that would be camouflaged on the outside with cardboard boxes.. basically if you opened the door it'd look like you had a shitload of boxes stacked up in there.

So now I have 4oz of bud... and I only need 1-2oz/mo for myself. I'm not even sure how fast I'm smoking these days... I know since I got this grow going I have like half as much time as I did cuz a lot of my prime smoke time goes to taking care of plants most nights. I'm pretty sure #1 will match the yield of #2 (seems to be more dense buds on this pheno)... by next week if they plump up some more I might even get 4oz. we'll see. Should get 1.5-2oz+ from white russian... if I got 1oz off that OG Kush I know i'm going to get substantially more off the white russian by the time she's done. Medicine Man looks to be another 3oz+ by the time she's done if I'm lucky... 2 oz minimum I'm guessing. Oh yeah and I got 3 plates of trim and mini buds to make bubble hash out of in a couple of days....

Oh yeah G13xHashplant is starting to fill in finally she should be 2-3oz+ I'm hoping with her huge colas. The other OG Kush looks like another 1oz+... they weren't fucking kidding about the OG K being a pretty meager yielder... I'm hoping this one being less sick and going full term will produce better smoke. Wasn't too impressed on the first OG Kush sample, but I took her pretty early and it's still early in the cure process.

I am BALLS DEEP IN BUD!

Nothing wrong with some fluffy buds, as long as they're frosty! Looks great bro. I've got some 1 gallon airpots I haven't used yet, I should put a clone in one and see how she does!

Fuck me sensei!

Damn those are beautiful. I've decided I'm gonna run some larger plants in the near future, no need for stealth around the nest.
Howd you like that rain last night? It was wild out here, my shop flooded and had to dig a series of trenches to stop the flow from reaching my electronics.

Sad that I couldn't catch up w/the Vman.

Keep on keepin on brother man!

I think the rom killed Sensei. He texted me last night he was trying it. I texted an hour later to see what he thought, still no reply. Ha. I know my grow had some little issues but curious what he thought about the high.

He probably gagged to death because its not organic grown ;) was my first round so hopefully he cuts me some slack but will definitely take notes for improvement

Yo sorry I turned my phone ringer down last night so didn't get your text until I was already about to go to sleep. I almost texted you 'Hey with all these flash flood warnings you better stay in town... if only there were someone you could stay with' :) You shoulda totally used that to get a free overnight pass with your girl :)

The romulan was good. I got pretty bakey... also pretty sleepy, but I think I was also just getting tired not sure how much of that was due to the romulan. Taste was decent for nonorganic (of course I have to comment about that!!) -- I don't think flushing more would do a lot more for it but who knows. It wasn't harsh though. For seeded bud it was definitely pretty good :) I'd already been smoking some yesterday so not really a truly fair test too... gonna save the rest for another day to be my first taste of the day :) For today of course I gotta try some of the bubble hash I made last night and my apollo #1 bud that just finished drying. I think the next one is going to outyield the first lower bud I took was definitely a lot denser after drying maybe should've let the first one go another week or two... or could just be the pheno. Live and learn. Let me know when you try some of what I left you too :)

Who needs an excuse? Hell I could barely get away this morning, she didn't want me to go. Hell, I didn't either but had to get shit done at home.

I think it was you being sleepy. The full term stuff doesn't put me to sleep. The 4 week stuff though is psychedelic trippy and puts me out. Yeah it was seeded, I might end up with some seeds in this round now unfortunately. Pulled out one of the c99xhaze to cut up for clones and it dropped pollen right in front of my cab. Doh.

I got to pull it out and let it dry a little. Took a look last night but wasn't sure which was which.
