A Cannabinerd's Journey

Well, tomorrow is the day I have to throw this whole tray of plants in the garbage and make new mama's :( it's always a hard thing to do, but I need to use that tray for veg and the mama tray is still in flower testing, just wish they could have a home for flower, they would be such big monster plants *sigh*

The Spog is starting to smell like sweet tarts, it's rather enticing. The pog18 is finalllyyyyyy starting to fill out (like a sativas, ugh) and smells very good. And the kushberry aroma is changing to berries and Hella pine sol. Not lemon pine sol, original pine sol, like a pine tree.

I got my pots and hydroton cleaned up for the glue sog. I found a new way to clean hydroton. It's fucking fantastic. A hair dryer. Boom. Done. Took 1/5 of the time for me to clean hydroton than any other of the best methods.

It's always a bummer when I have to chop em. I'll be cloning everything and making new mamas from the cuts though. It's just that I have the clones rooted for the next 3 grows, so I'm set for a few months now and just need to veg everything for the flower room, which I guess is a good thing, but still I hate chopping plants down :(

This chart kind of blows my mind. Seems like gmo might not be so bad. Why the hell are some of these certified organic? I'm astonished.

Ah ok cool, at least they won't be lost :)
It's always hard chopping them down though, totally agree there!

That's so wild!! Man, I wish organic literature that's spread through social media were more straight forward instead of as vague and withholding valuable information to make people have an informed opinion *sigh*


Got most of the flower room done, still have to mess with ducting and a few other things, but no biggy. Will be flowering the gdp in a few days in the buckets and gg4 in the tray in a week or so woo hoo!!

Right on MO, I love transparency. It's a huge factor, the organic community should be more transparent, it would really help the cause.

And lmao! Too funny, it does look like that :)

I underestimated my clones this round, I think they'll have to go into flower much faster, the roots are 18" long already, I haven't had clone roots like this since last year, thank God for the fall! This will be such a bad ass winter :) my humidity in my veg room is now perfect from dealing with 30%rh all summer, so glad to have decent Temps again :)

Thanks man! We got a pair of them at a flea market in nor Cal when we came out from NY for a vacation to scope out places to move to :) we love them too!

That looks like one stout strain! What's the genetics on her? Love it's hardy structure​

I call it Rebar. It was a mystery seed that grew out of my pile of discards when I collected seeds. A slug kept fimming it for me until I sent the slug to live on the farm. The gnawing away at the growth tips caused the plant to get huge thick stems and so I called it Rebar. It smelled like Blue Dream but had much bigger colas. I made some clones and crossed the mother with Triangle and called the cross 3Bar.

The rebar clones I grew this summer I let go without any care or training. They turned out much different than the original. I plan to do some major training on the new clones to see whether I can reproduce the first results.

Rebar Clone C1:




Cheers,
Mo

The GG4 and the other 3 plants currently in flower were topped quite a bit, at least 10x. The gdp i'm going to flower soon have been topped a few times and the newly rooted gg4 clones I'll top once for the SOG i think, but haven't decided yet. I usually top everything as much as I can before flower, training is key :)

I am setting up my SOG today indoor
On my GH run(10x20)ShelterLogic...I am in flower on that SOG(5x10)planter box Filled with Sunshine 4 mix and the plants are in 1 gallon nursery pots,with space between them.

I did not top this group of Headband(started from seed)thinking the plant would grow faster?

I think you'll be good not topping a headband. I flowered some untopped from clone not long ago and holy hell they fill out hardcore. How big did you let the headbands get? I've not much experience flowering seeds early because iIalways let them reach preflower stage so iIknow they are ready, are you flowering auto flowers? Topping definitely will slow the plant down a bit. Some strains just branch out naturally and don't need to be topped. If I'm growing big plants I'll always top regardless because iIlike all branches to be an even canopy at the top. Hopefully this helps ya bro, if iImissed a question just ask and I'll try to answer better :)

Whats up bro! Went looking at land this weekend:)

Thanks man! I do not use anything for rooting cuttings. I use tap water and just top up my cloner with tap water as needed. I never change the water, I just cut the clones, scrape the bottom of the stem, make small slits in the stem with my scissors, pop them in the cloner and at 14 days they look like that and are ready to be potted. I do use the pool shock though. That is a must imo and must be used from day 1. It keeps the cloner sterile and will never need cleaning if used from day 1.

Recipe-
1 gram of hth shock nN swim
1gallon of water
Mix throughly
Use 30ml of the solution for 5 gallons of cloner water 3x a week
