OK today the final additive for the grow is going into the reservoir.
Currently in reservoir:
10ML FloraNova Grow
40ML FloraNectar
adding today:
Van de Zwaan - House and Garden - Shooting Powder
I have to do the math yet for how to mix it as its in a satchel measured for 25 gal.
wish me luck with this experiment, approx. two weeks to go now.

Good luck with that bro
Hey boy am I baked...
I took a small branch from Sandi because well I wanted too, and Um yeah it wasn't getting enough light (Heh)
anyway I used the steam dry in the microwave with Tupperware and paper towels method by Dankmaster as described here
The result was
no real smell to it, smelled better when you squished it between your fingers and it was wet.
Burnt very well and evenly.
Thought I heard a seed snap...no just kidding
inhale was tasteless almost, didn't hurt my throat at all.
exhale tasted chemical or resiny but a good taste
its workin' pretty well.
Pictures are AFTER it was dried using the method in the FAQ above
it was just a baby too
about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch across, the lil nuggets are about an inch across, real small.
Good trial though. later

Hey man sorry i havent been posting much been busy as hell! The sample looks great man, not surprising that there wasnt a load of smell/ taste at this point without curing etc, the final product will be amazing! I've been tempted to take one of my lower branches many a time but decided against it haha though that may change some point this week before i go on holiday.... hmm.

alright caught up! man alto beautiful plants, filling in so beautifully!
That taste tester looked amazing i'll have to try that quick dry technique. I did the hotplate and it took a lil time but it actually worked out quite well! The taste was still pretty bad though.
Keep up the great work bro, I bet your even more excited about your next growing now that you know your full potential with these babies!!!

Yes, the way the Grenadine (Jessica) turned out I am very much looking forward to growing out her sisters (still have 13 seeds of that strain)
I also have like 30+ other seeds left from the Mega Mix assortment pack
So I will probably try to grow out some of that as well before buying more seeds.
Although, I really want to try out a subcool (TGA) strain very soon as well.
I really like the "Jillybean" that they have in their selection. Its Cali Orange bud x Space Queen, if I remember right.
Damn all their strains look promising.
Hope you get the over watering thing corrected bro.

damn bro you def have an assortment of seeds! I'm growing out quite a few strains this time. I'm definently ready to try soil out, i'll be growing Hijack in the soil. She's starting to overcome the overwatering but it still has like a days worth of water in the rockwool. I'm going to be using coco for my other seeds just for this reason!Yes, the way the Grenadine (Jessica) turned out I am very much looking forward to growing out her sisters (still have 13 seeds of that strain)

The Grenadine are great but way too much, I got those before I found RIU and some less expensive places to shop.
So far the ones I am really excited about are the TGA strains.
You can get them on Bidzbay which does stealth shipping
or at Cannseur (but at Cannseur the prices go back up)
I like the Vortex (if I was going to do a ScrOG)
or Jillybean just because the photos look amazing to me.
and read about the taste/high...
JillyBean
(Orange Velvet x Space Queen)
High Times Top 10 in 2007 Featured in the Big Book of Buds 3 Page 92.93
Jill was lucky enough to be gifted this amazing Orange Skunk and they day we smoked the finished bud we knew we had to outcross it with our Space Queen male. You dont really have to be a master breeder to figure out Orange and Pineapple Mango will be a good combination. The resulting outcross is remarkably stable and is close to a 50/50 representation of the parents. Topped only once in grows into a nice short bush with lots of side branching and multi heads. Flavors range from Orange, Tang, Candy, Mango, and Apple. The cross works really well in SOG or SCROG.. Very large stems and huge top colas make this an easy strain to grow in any medium.
We had 5 females in our bud room and 4 could be clones there so similar same height same growth speed and all have that Dank Orange smell. Very good mood elevator and general euphoria are experienced while high on this cross. Lime green with Vibrant Orange Hairs with temperature drops it can turn a deep burgundy to maroon.
- Phenotypes -Very stable Orange-Mango 50/50 Phenotypes
- Height-Short and Stocky
- Yield-Very Heavy/ Easy Trim
- Indoor/ Outdoor
- Best way to grow-Single topping forms multi heads
- Harvest Window-8 weeks
- Sativa/Indica 40/60
- Hybrid-Unknown Orange Skunk X Romulan X Cindy99BCGA
- High type-Happy, mood enhancing, humorous, energetic
- Smells like orange skunk or tang/ Taste so much like Dreamcicles you will not believe it!
- Extremely up beat and happy buzz great for depression and bad days.

Nice grow and amazing photos, man! What camera are you using?
Edit - found it on p48, haha. Nikon L3 - nice shots you're getting with it. It's a bit of work to get quality photos out of the compacts, but you've definitely shown that it's worth it. Good stuff, man.

pocket sized Nikon L3 (about $100)
I have big hungry lenses for other cameras, but I have not used them so far as they require film which requires processing and other people looking at my buds that also have the opportunity to look at me
So sticking to the little camera for pot pictures lol.
Thanks tho

Thanks I will post some pictures tonight
they have all filled in a bunch since those shots were taken.
Jessica is starting to scare me and I think I need a stick or something in there to start supporting her.
I would hate for her to fall the hell over cause shes too fat lmao.
I think I have to flush and start the clean out of no4 this weekend as she has lost virtually all her fan leaves now and the buds are starting to have more brown hairs than new white ones. Trichs are all cloudy but only a few amber ones, still It may be early but also easier to allow the others to go longer with her out.
Mona will probably follow shortly after.
Sandi and Jessica have a ways to go and are filling in very well.
Sandi is surprising as she looked a lot like the other "Dr Zeuss" looking girls but filled the spaces between nodes nicely.
You will see when I get some images up tonight.
and thanks for stopping in THC your grow is doing great, I look in all the time

LOLOL Alto - when you said Jessica was starting to scare you and you thought you needed a stick in there I immediately had a vision of you having to beat her off every time you went in the room haha. Reminded me of that space movie, em oh yes "Dark Star" where the guy is chasing the giant tomato alien around with a broom LOL. Thanks for that, best laugh I've had in a while. Must watch that movie again too. Cheers man!
