Almost forgot to put up the pic of the little plants that went into a tent yesterday to start 12/12. There's 8 or 9 Papaya and 8 or 9 NYPD (all reg seeds) and the two in the rear corners are a Blue Widow on the left and a Bubba Kush (both clones) on the right. I had a circulation fan fall on the Blue widow last night so now it's short one main branch that had some side branching on it :(


They're in 1/2 gal grow bags and are only a few weeks old. I just wanted to let them get a few nodes on them and then flower them so they stay small. Hopefully I get a nice mix of males and females to choose from out of them so I can make more seeds of these strains and a few crosses.
looking nice. i'm glad you're breeding. i cringe when people tell me that they have purchased feminized once again. i understand space limitations etc but one male and female and you're good for years. seems like a no brainer.

i use a tent and grow bags too. i had over 130 different pots that i collected over the years. from 1" square all the way up to 5 gallon and every shape. i found grow bags from 1/4 gallon up to 5 gall and threw away all the hard pots. great invention!

This has to be the funniest/saddest thread on here, but it just made my morning, lol.

lol

"and yes, in 1 month this 1 plant has sky rocketed to 5ft tall after only being 2feet tall in those pics "

"My plants were in critical condition once where they were curled up and pretty much dead. But I know that soap has really good effects on Nature and living organisms so I put it in the basket and my plants jumped back to life the next day looking good. I took the soap out and they limped hard the next day. So I just leave it there now."


using light bulbs and soap no less. i have to get higher to read this one! thanks for the link.

after 17 years i've tried damn near everything at least once. from water curing to twisting the hurds of the branches, putting a wooden stake through the stalk and a ton of other things that come back every few years.

i used to make the nights longer as they were coming close to harvest. from 12 hours of light down 11 then 10. i also have tried keeping them in the dark for 24 and 48 hours. i did both over a few harvests. i didn't notice anything different enough to make me continue and i just do the 12/12 thing and harvest during the morning.

i've found that if something truly works consistently and measurably almost everybody does it.
Yeah came to the conclusion that harvesting in the morning is probably the best option, everything else seems like a waste of time to me.

tried supercropping my sativa blue cheese and i have to say that it loves it. Loads of the small popcorn buds changed direction and grew double in size.
seemed to really boost the plants bud growth about a week after doing it.
crazy how well these girls can heal. ive even snapped a branch clean off by mistake, huge buds on it too. decided to cut a smaller branch off a different strain and tape it in its place grew straight onto it, didnt even wilt.
amazes me.

i got scared off of eating reefer after having a very bad experience in thailand. we kinda over did it. the cookies we threw away almost killed a guard dog too. lol

i've made cookies a few time by just putting a measured amount of pot into each cookie. it works pretty well but i've read about butter since i was a kid and never made any. does the buttter have a consistent thc content throughout? as in one spoonful from one place will be the same as from another? the thought of eating too much gives me the willies.

my lungs are old and abused and i need to start eating more.
Yes the butter will be consistent and the only way it wouldn't that I can think of would be if you use it in something that the butter doesn't thoroughly mix into like rice krispie treats. The butter doesn't really mix into the marshmallows as evenly as when cokking it into cookies and stuff and sometimes you'll end up wit a tray of treats that will have differing potency from one spot to another. The first batch of them I made was pretty inconsistent so the first treat I ate to get an idea of protions was way less potent than the next one I ate. That second one put me into orbit, lol. I had to sleep it off because I was having trouble just walking to the restroom. I try to mix them longer now and it helps but they're still not the same as cookies.

Just a quick one, but does anyone grow perpetually, in a 1.5m x 1.5m tent.
If so, how many plants do you have in there and rough yeild per plant.

Going to expand and have two tents for flower and one for veg.
600w HPS, Soil, 4 plants in every 2-3 weeks. Plants will be topped and trained to give atleast 15-20 main heads. So max 12 in flower at any one time.
I was aiming for 4oz per plant.
Is that a reasonable expectation?

Heres a quick photo of my 6 ladies! :D

Peace!

Sorry bout the males HU. Out of my 4 Extrema, 2 are confirmed males. I've chosen one to keep. I'm sensing that the other 2 are going to be girls. Why? Not sure, just that the males showed themselves within a day of each other, some time ago now, while the other 2 aren't showing a thing yet. X2 is the chosen one.

Looking at your males, if the others aren't showing they probably are females. If you look closely at a preflower, the only way I can spot a male before it's really obvious, the preflower of a male has a tiny stalk, a female preflower doesn't. Are you going to backcross the extrema male to an extrema female?

swiss bliss number 6 has given her life to the cause!

funeral pics tomorrow.

i love our hobby!

bonus! the matanuska male i used for breeding months ago has apparently left some presents in the tent. i now have a few seeds of ssh, swiss bliss and S.A.G.E. x matanuska! :)
I know this is subjective but to you fatboy, what are your three best strains? I mean for your own taste? I remember reading about swiss bliss and I thought it was still available somewhere from a breeder? Being a sativa person my three favorites so far have been arjan's haze #1, sour cream and the acapulco gold I just finished. I also like the lemon skunk very much too and that is a good yielding plant.

Attention fellow six hundred brothers...where are the sisters? Only kidding. It has come to my attention the seed fairy may have some beans to disperse. Now this is only a rumor (but it appeared in my private message box so I think the source is good) that I'm trying to confirm. It's not actually a dispersal, it's more of an exchange program. For any interested parties send me a pm for more details and let me say up front, if I'm flooded give me some time to respond. I don't know all the details yet myself but I wanted to float the idea on the board for interested parties.

What breeder did your AG come from, or was it one of yours from a long time ago?

Damn mites..
I just got some fresh cutts off a mate, i noticed theyve got mites all over them , I ve put them in my fridge till im ready to use them later in the week. The question is will the cold kill the mites or just slow them down? And can you feeze cutts? if so for how long? how do you defrost them?

Any help lads..
i am no mite exterminator but i would say that you wont be killing them off from putting them in fridge with out treating the plants with some neem or azamax. youll definetely be able to stunt there reproduction rates and there movements will be slower from one area to another but i dont think cold will actually kill them. find yourself some diamatecuos earth for the top of the soil and give them a good spray down with some kind of mite killer and repellent. cold is also bad for your plants especially with no lights. no light they cant feed themselves and the cold will stunt them even more. good idea though of keeping them far away from your non infected plants, make sure if you look in on them that you clean yourself real well before checking in on your other plants to not bring those little fuckers into a different grow area.

man that's a tough one. off the top of my head i'd say the S.A.G.E., super silver haze and skunk #1 (which i bought back in 1995). it was real good back then. i have crossed these with other genetics but haven't tried most of the crosses yet.

i keep hearing good things about the lemon and i'll have to get some. ask me again after a couple more crops and i'll probably have a different list. :)

here are my clones. 32 of em. i was hoping to have some of them in the flower tent by now but it looks like i'll be needing the tent for another 20 plus days. i'm keeping them small (some are 18" lol) in these cups because i won't know which ones i want to keep until i test all of the current crop.

Here's the video I shot and edited this morning:
[video=vimeo;21072820]http://www.vimeo.com/21072820[/video]

that's a well laid out room. i should concentrate more on making mine easier to work in.

what genetic is that lovely indica with the big beautiful leaves? I WANT IT! :)

You must be talking about either the Bubba Kush or the Blue Widow. They are the two on the left hand side behind the Dog Kush.
