We got catnip in the fridge but wonder how they would like fresh stuff. Red there was munching away at some bud tips from the plants I was hacking back. Heard a noise behind me and there he was chowing down on pot. Like that cat.
What is this, and where can I buy seeds of it?
Those are OG#18. My buddy gave me 5 clones of it last December and I grew them out in 4gal pots of ProMix HP and ProMix potting soil with AN nutes. Really nice buzz but didn't yield a hell of a lot. I have one plant from a cutting but no seeds I'm afraid. I've looked online and haven't seen any for sale either. I plan to try it in DWC and see how it works in there. Might try colloidal silver to see if I can't get some fem seeds but that will be a while yet.

Nice rock hard buds and I like the buzz so I'm not done with her yet.
Not yet but planning to get lots off that girl.
Never even had to break out the neem oil.
Wow, what an ordeal!I'm so far behind on everything but recently had a serious health problem fixed that I didn't even know I had. I thought I was gluten or lactose intolerant as I've had trouble with my guts the last 3 years. Turns out it was an appendix that tried to blow back then but blew a little hole near the base and has been leaking poison into my belly the whole time. Almost lost a big chunk of my colon but the operation went great and all is well now. My constant fatigue was my body using a lot of resources to fight an ongoing infection. Doc said I must have a hell of an immune system not to have got peritonitis in all that time. Day after I get home from that, yesterday, I'm off in an ambulance again for a damned kidney stone that formed from the severe dehydration I was undergoing. Showed up in the CAT scan that caught the appendix problem but was non-obstructive so they never told me or I would have known what was going on and toughed it out another 20 min at home. After abdominal surgery I wasn't taking no chances with incredible pain like that. Never again I hope.
Already feeling like a champ again and eating like a horse to get back the 12 lbs or so I lost. Down to 129 at my last weigh in.
Well the ChemDawg bit the dust finally. Was touch and go so she up and got. The unamed sativa from 30 year old seed is looking way better with lots of cuttings available. I'll take 3 or 4 and maybe toss her in the flowering room later. Think I'll name her 30Something. Was a great show.

Thought I'd got rid of them but found a couple live mites on 30Something so cleaned her up and gave her the last dose of the Safer's soap left in the bottle. Hit her with the other stuff in 3 days.

The babies are all a little starved with all the hospital shit I've been dealing with but I'm getting better fast and so will they after the nice feeding they got today. They live right beside 30Something and not a mite to be found on any of them so maybe the boogie man isn't so scary after all.

Check out the fat leaves on the baby BB. Heavy indica for sure or got a bit of DuckFoot genetics in it.

That's it for now.
just found your journal, got a question why did you chop back? i'm just curious hadn't seen anyone do that before. I see the after effects?Chapter two.
I'll repeat the last bit about the types of plants and see if I can go on in a fresh post.
I planted 9 beans in early June. Three Otto#1 very high CBD with only 1% THC max. Only two came up but all 6 of the others did. The other 6 are a strain of my own I call Northern Mist. It's Kali Mist x Northern Lights #5 both purchased originally from Marc Emery's seed bank about 2002. The Kali alone gave me anxiety attacks if I had just a bit too much so I bred it with the NL and the right pheno from that is the bomb! Lifts my mood right out of the hole and puts a smile on my face. Good for joint pain too.
These ones have been crossed with an auto and I'm trying to develop the pheno I like as an auto so I can grow outdoors way up north here. The auto is called Purple Jem. Mazar x LowRyder.
Grew them in the bedroom closet under some CFLs. Near the end of July had to take off to BC to help my 89 yo mom move into a 5th wheel from a beautiful house overlooking Okanagan lake in Peachland. Knew I'd be gone for at least a month so I pruned the plants back drastically so they wouldn't grow too fast and the wife would just have to water them and keep them alive as I put them in worm castings, real soil and promix that had bone meal added. They survived but didn't look so great and I had two males in full flower.
Here's the little darlings 12 days after sprouting on June 14. The two Ottos on the right and the smaller cross at the bottom middle came up root first and I didn't find out until I poked around and a brown bit wouldn't move. Turned out it was the dead tip of the tap root. Turned it around and hoped for the best. Up she came a couple days later and all is well

This is them when I got back 6 weeks later on Sept 9. Wife didn't do too bad.

Ordeal is what it was for sure but it didn't kill me and I'm coming back stronger! I was using some of my drafting gear to draw a cooling skirt idea for a guy doing a 1 tub DWC in a 4x4 tent that is wanting to cool the nutes a bit and came across my metric circle template and took a look at the 4mm one. No wonder that sucker hurt so bad on the way to my bladder!
The plants I got were from a buddy that just had them out in a freezing greenhouse and was going to toss them so I brought them home mites and all. Rather than deal with all the foliage to get rid of the mites I decided to hack them back and make the job easier. All the stress and mite damage was too much for two of them and the hacking didn't help. The last one is doing good and in a spray schedule to finally get rid of them for good. Time for the neem.

If I'm going to be away for a few weeks and have bushy, vegging plants I'll hack them back like that then reduce the light levels and feed to slow their growth until my return so the wife doesn't have to do nothing but give them some water once in a while. She's not into pot but doesn't nag and will help with things like that. Her thing is chickens and we got about 50. lol
Now to deal with the thrips in the basement grow room. lol
Not for indoor it don't around here. Too many bugs and shit in there. I'm swinging back to mainly DWC now after playing in the dirt the last few grows. Soilless or DWC will be it for now on. I know where I am there and do a lot better. Just a black thumb when it comes to dirt farming but green as hell with hydro.

We put a yard or so of compost on the garden every year and the soil is getting great. Lots of good veggies this last fall. Got 3 big patches going all the time and dig out the oldest each spring and rototill it in along the rows which vary every year so the whole garden is done in a couple years.
