Chernobyl 7.5 weeks. the purple is from the led lighting but makes it look even better.
Chernobyl X JTR about 6 weeks. I have several different phenos going of this. This one is more leafy but has a nice lemon juice smell like the store bought lemon juice concentrate.
I am no longer going to reuse and re-amend my used super soil. It seems like my plants are not growing as well in it. The growth seems stunted and they don't take in water as fast as usual. Fresh super soil only from now on. When I was re-amending it, I would always use the max amount of worm castings listed in the recipe. Over time mixing the same used batches over and over, adding tons of worm castings each time, it seemed to make the soil heavier and more clay like. Maybe there is also too much salt build up over time. There have been times where I cheated and gave a little concentrated nutrients with waterings for a little food boost. It just seems like the roots are having more trouble growing as rapidly as they used to. This is just me theory. The soil is still working and the smoke produced is still great, but yields seem to have suffered. More time being lost by having to veg longer due to slower growth. Going to use Fertilome as my base next batch I mix. The soil is extremely cheap and clean. I never find bugs in it. When I veg before making the final transplant with the super soil, I now use fertilome, add a little Nitrogen based bat guano, worm castings, a little bit of azomite and epsom salt. Add perlite and vermiculite. IMO fertilome doesn't have enough perlite. I just make a few gallons at a time and give it a quick mix in a 5 gallon bucket. Then transplant the clone in the small pot. Seems to work well. Seems like all these other name brand soils are full of root aphids which a lot of ppl seem to confuse with fungus gnats. gnats are weak. Root aphids not so much.

How many girls did you flower to find her? How were Her sisters? Any grape at all? Thank you.

actually what i've found, is adding compost back to mixes over time dilutes the mix, and lowers the concentration of peat moss, effectively leading to higher soil pH levels and that is the reason your growth is not the same. Im having the same thing happen with my ROLS soils as well. I concluded that adding a lot of fresh organic matter after each run is not necessary, and actually alters the mix in a non beneficial way. So from now on, i'll only be adding amendments back to the mix, and not compost. if i want to add organisms back to the mix, i'll just water in an AACT. The thing is, that SOM takes a long time to be broken down by organisms, and starting at 30%-ish OM... that's already a fuck ton. What i heard another very experienced organic grower is doing is using his recycled soil as the OM portion of a new mix. Makes total fucking sense to me. and you also have to consider, when you leave roots in the used soil for recycling, the roots turn into OM anyway, so you're already getting fresh OM. plus the breakdown of amendments and use of leaves and what not for mulch. there are constant OM inputs. Hope this clears up your astute observations about your mix. i was seeing good looking growth up to about week 4, and then i was like... ok where are the fuckin nugs!?!? they just never got much bigger after that. quality is still on point... but quantity is lacking.
FWIW i too decided to start from square one with my mixes recently to make sure that i'm going to see the difference between the two... and so far, i'm seeing what i should be seeing. bud growth in the fresh mix at 4 weeks has already surpassed bud growth of other plants at 6 weeks. I kept wondering what was going on, and realized that having too much OM neutralizes and dilutes the acidity in the peat moss, leading to higher pH (less acidity). when i topdress in flower, i topdress with compost and amdendments, which will be all the OM that i'll add into mixes. I'll be documenting this in my grow thread in the main organic forum. stay tuned

Thanks! very very very cheesy with some slight cherry tart undertones. it smells really different on the plant, more cherry tart present, and after the cure, super cheese comes out. Great daytime smoke, really uplifting and not couchy at all. Enjoyable!

what are some good couchlock night time strains and or some truley putrid pungent strains like the old catpiss and roadkill sort

hell i couldn't tell you man haha. if you're looking for TGA gear, i'd say just hop on the website and check out the strain guide. there are descriptions for effects of all the strains on there. as for the catpiss strains... i have never grown one before, and i'm not even sure of the lineage... i think it's a haze sativa like super silver or something like that. you'd have to do a google search on it.

I did a 20 seed pheno hunt about 3 years ago. I think I got 11 females out of that batch. The seed plants pretty much all looked like clones. To be honest, I can't remember what all the females were like. All I know is the keeper I picked, had that burning/chemical smell. Medium yielder and I have to veg her pretty big. Here's an old pic of all those seedlings.How many girls did you flower to find her? How were Her sisters? Any grape at all? Thank you.

Did this today. 12ft³ Fertilome ultimate potting mix, 30 lbs Wiggly worm castings, 5 lbs of each Down to Earth bone meal, Espoma blood meal, Earth Juice phosphorus guano, 3 lbs Espoma rock phosphate, 3/4 cup epson salt, 1/2 cup of each dolomite lime, azomite, powdered humic acid. I don't know how much perlite and vermiculite I added. Kept adding until it looked how I wanted it to I didn't measure it. Mixed until it was consistent. Placed it in 3 black garbage cans. They are about 35 gallons each and it filled all 3 almost to the top. I added about 2 gallons of well water to each one. Last time I tested the water it was slightly alkaline. TDS about 120 ppms. I wanted to PH it to 6.5 but didn't have any PH down or my meter with me. I'm not too worried about it. I will probably mix another batch within a month.

Well fuck me sideways.
I started killing some males in my veg closet, and about a week and a half later the males inside the closet are now autoflowering, they know the axe is coming soon... Fml, I just sanitized my grow area for flowering my female strawberry Daiquiri.

The most rancid dank smelling male is not showing similar signs, what do you guys thing? Should I move these outdoors and collect pollen or just killem and stuff them in the trash? I kept these because they smell really good, one of which appears to be producing trichomes on the male pollen sacks, well "resin", not an actual trichome yet.
