Thanks. yeah they do have a great smell. the one with the Mountain Dew can is the Berry smelling thing. wow it is strong. and it is only 3 weeks into flowering. all the others are 6, almost 7 now.

berry type weed has always been best yield for me(and most expensive,haha)and the loudest in the house.the orange bud i grew was very concealable believe it or not, but once you cut that stalk , it released a heavy citrus skunk that took some effort to suppress.

I also noticed the citrus smelling sativas don't have as much odor as the fruity and skunky strains. Super Skunk has one of the most difficult to conceal smells, pungent.

If you can't run a carbon filter because of price, I recommend getting one of those candle simmer plates. You light one of the tea light candles under a little simmer pot, and add the little wax patties, yankee candle is the best, or any soy candles are even better. Incense doesn't really work as well, plus incense is notorious for hippie weed smoking.

Btw good job Gutterman, you should start a journal if you're starting another round with those clones.

That is a good Idea. I will do that. and thanks for the replies.
I'll snap some dried (Medicine) when it Cures.

had to go into town get a new computer that has an "L" ,haha, and found new super store headshop, would not believe the size of this place and conveniently opened a hydroponics store next door, lights and everything.found out they have 5 locations there. tripped me out . they had some killer roors to.. i guess "420" is moving rite along. because this city has always been ,no no , to headshops. heres a couple pieces i bought. also bought 2 glass screens.

nice thread so far verry interested in your dj shorts.hes one of the verry best there is. i grew his f-13.couldent get any real buds .got alot of stacked calyx's verry few pistols and soooooo much resin.It is some of the nicest tasting stuff ever .Im sure the mutant growth was my own fault.i probly messed up the ph and food ratios.djs stuff is verry unforgiving but if you care for it properly it will be some of the best tasting potent weed youll ever have.Hell even if you mistreat her like me shell be some of the tastyest most potent weed youve ever had. Its because dj uses pure landrace genetics.and 100 % recesive genetics.Also for those who dont know dj is the breeder on many of dutch passions award winners.

Wow, thanks Bonghits, no, I didn't know DJ was involved with dutch passion... Badass, I want to know what he's responsible for...


FLO is and awesome strain, best I've had from his collection, very tempermental, the Blueberry isn't as bad. Any haze strain is difficult for new growers, hell even those who have grown other strains their whole life... They hardly eat anything the first 3-4 weeks in flowering, and most people overfeed, and totally screw them up. I was guilty of it the first three times I tried growing the SS Haze. Long flowering strains, I've gotten away from.

I'm doing a bunch of breeding with Super Skunk, and other skunk strains, hopefully to find a new Sour D type strain.

My Super Skunk father will pollinate all my other strains.

Silver Mango (my 1st cross) is Silver Pearl x Mango = (Northern Lights 5 x Skunk x Early Girl)x(Jack Herer x Skunk)

DJ short Blueberry

Jamaican bagseed

The Jamaican was a fruity tasting weed, it looks to be mostly Sativa from the leaf pattern.

I'm planning on backcrossing all of them to the Super Skunk father.

Hope I end up with some killer new strain

These are looking great Howie! Wishing you the best here.

yea,dutch passion is DJ Shorts wider selection , he went partners in the blue family with DP and a few other strains..

he breeds dp blueberry and flo and all of their crosses.He dosent use alot of haze genetics.hes into the thailand landraces they are similar to haze in growth pattern etc. the exception being the taste the landraces will have a sweet musky skunky perfume aftertaste.and haze will be haze.The haze genetic code is one of the strongest around so even if your hybrids have verry little haze genetics in it. they will be verry present in the finished product.like the taste stretch finish time. etc.I dont much care for that typical haze taste. Which is why i love dj-s stuff.Its all a bit reminisent of the pot we called KIND BUD. bACK IN THWE LATE 80'S

his bluemoonshine i'm growing they put out is pure ass zombie weed, with the high yield.

Dp's bluemoonshine and ol time moonshine are both djs work.also chimeras cplus and c4 are dj creations

I was wondering what happened to him, the DJ short collection is unchanged from the last beans I bought, figures, he's breeding for a big name. I'll have to look into that if I ever buy some seeds again... I'm a skunk man myself. That and variations of skunk.

So what you're saying, is my Silver Mango will still have the long flowering period, since it has Jack Herer in it's lineage. I was hoping to shorten the flowering time by crossing it with the early girl genes... Well, I guess I'll find out when flowering begins.

I think as soon as I have enough clones, and flowering is about to start I'm going to start a new thread for flowering... Otherwise this thread will have a thousand pages

its unchanged and almost soldout everywhere.I think hes actually busy backcrossing some strains to find parent plants because word is the legendary blueberry father responsiable for most of his stuff had died

i guess me stoppin by runnin my head aint gonna make it any shorter,sorry.

No, it's no big deal, one of these days I'm gonna compress everything together like, here's the seeding process to clones, and here's the growing room, before and after setup... And I'm about to flower...

I don't mind posting in here at all. I'm going to print out all of my -----ON TOPIC----- posts after I'm done to keep a record of what I did and when. I haven't been doing such a great job lately, I hate waiting for plants to veg out, I want to flower already.

i am trying to build or buy a mini 2ft by 3ft spot to keep clones under florecent lights . got any ideas . or who sells a frame like that. i want get clones 2 weex into flowering to reduce as much time as possible till one fini and jus keep them circulated like your gonna do. your setup is the only one makes any sense for long term success. and keep excellent plants going , thats wat i decided to do , i want to keep the g13 goin and the BM for sure . the BM seeds were around 200.00 for 9 fem. beans. and they were very hard to get. i got several pacs of reg blueberry pacs for bakup and blue cheese seeds pacs

Something happened to my electrical system in the attics.Lost all but 2 superskunk.Half my house is fucked up,no power.I didnt know til too late ,have chords run now.Good luck with the ladies Mr marks looks like this whole grow might get scrapped.PEACE

Hydrotech- it isn't something as simple as a fusebox/breakerbox is it...?

Raider- If you have a closet that you can clean out, it works perfectly for cloneing and vegging clones. I'd wait until you get them under the HPS to flower, don't start flowering in the clone closet, you'll have better results if you wait until they're under the big lights.

My last grow I had two bloom rooms, each harvesting at different times, different strains flowering time. I had a harvest every month, about 4-5 pounds. I used the spare bathroom as my clone and veg area, also as my mixing/nutrient station... It was fairly small, 6 x 10. Witha sink toilet and shower stall.

i dont have a spare room, but by the closet i ,outside the door ,i have a 3ft by 2ft area ,, last nite i went to discount hydro and bought a 250 watt conversion lamp with built in balast(hydrofarm) with both mh and hp bulbs( bought the mh bulb sep.)i decided to setup a table of same size and flood table. does that sound good enough? can i put them in 5" by 5" sqare 8" High for awile?do small tub of them?i thought get clones two weex into flowering, clone and keep under the 250 for 5 to 6 weex transplant big containers wen the others are through flowering-repeat .wat you think.i wish i had more room , but dont.just went to website at DH, i saw for 10.00 more can get a 400 watt one . thier not air cooled,.DH. is in cali they dont open for two more hours , can change it.
