The Daily Bud

Holy shit that stick, i mean LOG is huge! Someone should whittle that thing into a walking stick or cane...

Wow Sub, thanks for the tip, it looks incredible I bet it smoked even better. Nice pieces too keep em coming man!
@x15 I believe he like to harvest before they turn amber. That's when resin production is at a peak. Pretty amazing stuff

thanks, hybridbuds

I work hard to keep resin off my Nikon equipment so I generally like to shoot pictures the week before I trim so generally when you see a cola shot on here it went another 4-6 days or So I like to see Pepsi colored Trics here or there but HB is correct I harvest earlier than some people so my bubble hash will be full melt.

Sub

i have this theory that if you grow the same exact clone and document the diameter of each plants' trunk at harvest and how many ozs that plant yielded in relation to that,

eventually, for that particular clone, you could be able to closly predict your grow yield before harvest just by measuring the diameter of the trunks of your plants and applying the fomula you developed for that particular clone

I wonder if that would work? i dont know it was just a thought

ive been trying to grow less and less plants and still get the same yeild for my personal uses so i been growing them huge like that tree branch you got up there

most i ever got with the least plants was i think a lil less than 2 lbs indoors with 5 plants ww


but now i only grow 1 lb or so every run so i been doing this with JTR with 6 plants under a 600 watt hps

so this time im trying to get the 1 lb but with only 4 plants under the 600 watter

eventually i wanna try just 2 huge plants of JTR grown under 1 600 watter and still getting 1 lb

but man 8 ozs off of one JTR plant indoors is gonna be challanging

that way if the anti american forces of prohibition get me they can only say i was growing 2 evil shrubs

@Big P, 8 zips off one JTR will be a helluva a plant I'd love to watch that grow!

LOL, same here!

one time the resin touched a 28mm lens while shooting & i could not believe how difficult it is to clean the resin off without damaging the lens.

thanx for your reply

Picked up the West Coast Cannabis and saw your Romulan ad - so awesome!!

When we went looking for doc we got a look at 14 Lovely Querkle ladies.
Purple anyone?

This room smelled like a room full of grape skittles

Romulan is one of those strains that has almost
mythical status among growers and when I started
doing research I found out there is not that much info
available. First off I dug around at the old BCGA website
and found this:
"It has been one of Vancouver Island's best kept
secrets for a few years. Up till about 18 months ago,
Romulan Joe from the island was all Vancouver knew
of Romulan. Then I showed about 18 months ago at
HBC with some bud and photos looking for advice
about good genetics to cross it with. Boy did I create
a commotion. I was offered some serious dollars for
a clone. I said no but that I would be happy to work
something out with some seeds.
For you breeders, take note that 18 months ago, Vancouver
breeders did not have access to Romulan
genetics. At that time both the Romulan that Joe was
bringing to Vancouver and my Romulan was the
same bud. About six months ago I returned and Vancouver's
Romulan was now more potent than mine
but had lost some of its flavor". Vic High
It's no secret that Vic is one of my favorite breeders and
the fact he worked with Romulan already makes it special
and then this year I was lucky enough to meet someone
that has the cut and grows it in a green house each
year. The first bud I sampled was really impressive with a
perfume oily smell that really got my attention from the
very first bong hit. Pure Romulan is supposed to be a very
stable plant that produces very uniform F1 hybrids. This
combined with its amazing flavor prompted us to create
a Hybrid using this clone only female Romulan and Space
Queen. This will lock down the Romulan traits in large
numbers and add some of the Romulan Funk to the sibling
outcross. When we first got a cutting of the Romulan
I was surprised at how slow it grew and initially I got a
very poor yield but as I got to know her I learned she
liked a lot of attention requiring additional time in veg
and lots of shaping and bondage to form multiple tops
and a wide bush. The first time I budded her I did not give
her ample vegetive time and my yield was very low. I
almost culled the plant but the smoke tasted so good and

the buzz was so pleasant that I gave her another chance
and asked Jem777 for another cutting. He was running
out of room at his grow so instead of a cutting he shows
up with a 24" trained bush complete with LST and
bondage. I had no room in the budding area so I continued
to veg her until she was like 40" tall with 6 heads by
the time my crop finished and I made room for her. I
placed her under the 400 watt HPS with side lighting
from both 1000 watt hoods on the sides and she just
loved the cool temps and 1200 PPM of co2 I run in my
bud room. She packed on the buds by week six and the
smell was just unbelievable anytime you got close to her
at all the fuck would just drift over and slap you in the
face. She started fading around 50 days so I topped
dressed the container with super soil and fed her some
organic bloom solution as well as loading her with sugars.
She continued to mature and by day 60 she was carpeted
with oily resin glands that were about 40% amber
telling me she was ready to harvest.
Using this method I was able to increase her yield to just
under 5 ounces in Super Soil. Romulan has quickly
become one of our new favorite night time smokes. It has
a awesome flavor and the Indica make up is perfect for un
winding in the evening hours. It tends to bring on the
munchies and a session is usually followed by a chocolate
snack. Romulan will be staying around here as stash and
also as one of our new mother plants.

There is a great deal of interest in the strains created by the grower Chemdawg. The story goes like this. At a Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek Amphitheatre, 'joebrand' (aka 'wonkanobe') and 'pbud' met 'chemdog' and sold him an ounce of very high quality pot for $500. joe and chemdog exchanged numbers and they later arranged for two ounces to be shipped to chemdog on the east coast. According to chemdog, one ounce was seedless and the other had 13 seeds.

In ’91, chemdog popped the first 4 seeds. From these seeds, one male was found and disposed of. The 3 females were labeled ‘chemdawg’ (now ’91 chemdawg), ‘chemdawg a’ (now chemdawg’s sister), and ‘chemdawg b’. In '01, chemdog and his girlfriend attempted to germ 3 more seeds, labeled ‘c’, ‘d’, and ‘e’. the ‘e’ seed never germinated, ‘c’ turned out to be junk (according to chemdog), and chemdawg ‘d’ was the keeper. In '06, 'chemdog' and 'joebrand' reunited and joe was given 4 of the last 6 beans: Chemdawg phenos 1-4, '4' being the chosen keeper. Joe thought the '4' was the best representation of the original and thus dubbed it the 'reunion pheno'. Chemdog still has two seeds left in his stash.

Chemdog' and friends made several other crosses that are held closely by a small group of friends and acquaintances. Among them are:

1. Super Snowdawg (Bubble Chem x [Super skunk x Oregon Sno])
2. Giesel (Chem D x Mass Super Skunk)
3. Bubble Chem (Chemdawg’s Sister x Sag's Bubbleberry)
4. Dawg Daze aka ChemHaze (Chem D x ’93 Sensi's NL#5/Haze)
5. Chemdawg D x Pbud (another old-school Colorado strain)

In August of 2006 Chemdog came out to visit Mzjill and myself to swap stories and have a smoke out. It was a fantastic party with late night bubble sessions and everyone got along great and Jills cookies worked her magic. Chem is a super nice guy as is his entire family and we hit if off like old friends. During the festivities Chem and I slipped upstairs and traded some goodies so that I could do one of my famous Live Photo/Taste sessions.




Chem was more than generous giving me the largest buds of many of the samples. The quality of each sample was very good. Cured well and not green even shipped around theses samples were all top shelf. These are the strains he had with him.

Super Snow Dawg
Sour Diesel
Giezil
OG Kush
Chemdawgs Sister
Mass Super Skunk
Mendo Purps
Chemdawg D
Chemdawg
Genius
Jacks Cleaner
Genius
Jacks Cleaner
Purple Kush
Master Kush
Dawg Days
Head band

Now we had a proper smoke out but I am better judging at my own speed with a clean bong and some strong coffee early in the morning. I can test two strains per day properly any more and the high’s just mix together and you can’t tell the slight differences in each bud sample. My Original Toke notes from

Snodawg
Ok first hit….
The flavor is not really something I can put a name on other than I really loved the initial intake. It kind of reminds me of the White Russian sample I had at Ruskia before WR started sucking. I coughed a few times and then smiled let me dive into this a bit.
I really like this but it would be nice if I could describe its flavor to you guys I am gonna have to stick with DANK for now.
Hit #2
Slight skunk on my finger tips, if all the samples are this good this is going to be a warm up to the Cannabis cup except with Real Cannabis! Its totally yummy now that my lungs have warmed up but the delicious taste just came through in and out I like this bud a lot and I am already stoned as hell and considering the amount of THC we consumed last night that’s pretty impressive.
Hit #3
Sub takes a breath, hey it’s hard work but it is my job to bring you the latest Cannabis info… The third bowl brought tears to my eyes so it must be some pretty serious dank I am trying to move to the second strain but I am gonna enjoy this buzz awhile.
Chemdawg
The second strain I decided to test was the famous Chemdawg that draws so much attention. It’s the strain on every growers to do list right now. It is a heavy Indica with a crushing stone. It has a much different smell than the Snowdawg I can catch traces of pungent funk similar to the Grimm stuff. Sample appears to have been grown a good while ago and leans towards golden rather than green. A very well cured bud.
This smoke is thicker and burned my nose at first then I coughed really hard. Ok either its considerably stronger or the fact I am 4 bowls deep at 8 am but I am pretty stoned, I can feel the tug of the 4th bowl over the first three but I liked the flavor of the Snowdawg more at this point.

Giesel

This is a Pheno that has a more pungent smell and taste and to me I taste Cindy99 in it but that’s just a flavor now I associate with fruity type sour strains. Although similar to the Dawg itself I think I like this one as much if not more. If I am not as in depth now on the thread it’s because I am stoned as shit!

Second Try:
To be honest this is more sour tasting to me than the SD and it has a nice spicy undertone and I am going to say this may be my second favorite. I am going to have a few bowls of this, as this is promising, I was so high this am by this one I couldn’t tell.
Second hit
Although the smoke is super thick I don't have any problems holding in a large hit, the buzz is very nice and the exhale is pleasant.

Sour Diesel
I found it to be really more dieselish that anything and certainly not that sour based on my gear but it left that oily taste on my tongue I heard about and it hit me pretty hard in the back of the head. This is where I had to take a small break. Basically ripped out of my gourd on everything. After a brief nap and smoked more of the SD in the afternoon, later after a shower with clean head, I like the buzz but It’s not a sweet enough strain for me so far the Snowdawg is my favorite.

The SD reminds me of thick old Shrimp Boat Colombo from the bilge but that makes the sample sound shitty and you can see by the pics that’s far from the case. It is very hard to judge Chems weed because it keeps fucking me up. By Hit three I find it hard to continue.

Chem Dog D
I'd like to again thank Chemdawg its been a long time since I had this many samples it will takes a few more days to complete this so don't bail on me some of the more interesting ones I am saving to do solo.
Excellent rock hard sample
Now this smells like diesel big time like an old dirty rag in a gas station with a hint of garlic underneath. Very peculiar.
Hit #1 ( First of the Day)
Like many of Chems selections the smoke is think and oily instead of light and fruity, A slight burn in my sinuses is present and I am instantly stoned.
It seems Chems focus has been on insanely potent strains.

If I do a report on everything he brought it would take up the whole magazine so I am focusing on the most well known of his strains mainly Snodawg.

Other strains I liked were Headband and of coarse the genius sample was just amazing. The Sister was very similar to the ChemD and it was getting very hard for me to tell the strains apart by this time. Other than the Headband and Snodawg I found most of the samples very similar. The ChemD was so strong we started calling it ‘Goobers Rag” as it really did smell like one of those old red rags a station attendant will carry in his back pocket. Over the next year I had the opportunity to grow out several of these crosses but I am really a taste guy and the thick oily flavors of most of this gear just didn’t suit me but the one strain Snodawg was hard for me to forget, as a grower I always am curious as to what a elite cut will taste like grown by me in my soil.

Early this year I was able to grab a cutting of the Snodawg and set about growing her out.
She grew easily and also cloned very fast. The plant stays short in veg and once topped she forms a really nice multi headed bush without much training at all. Once placed into 12/12 her stretch is minimal and she only increases in height about 30%. She has very wide Indica shaped leaves and I removed the larger ones to allow light to penetrate down to the lower second shelf buds.

The plant started fading by day 40, which indicates she is a heavy feeding plant as she was placed in my concentrated Super Soil that has plenty of nutrients for most of the varieties I grow. I top dressed the container with more super soil and gave her a feeding to slow down the yellowing and on future runs I will increase the amount of concentrate I use on her. By day 60 she had a beautiful Red and Yellow fade and just a really nice fruity Indica smell. The buds were full and hard and we harvested her at day 65 when about 40% of her Trichomes had turned amber. The buds were air dried for 7 days then placed in open glass jars until the stems started snapping when bent. This indicates enough moisture has evaporated and its now time to place lids on the jar. After 3 weeks the buds had loft all of there green smell and now had a slightly fruity smell that reminded me a lot of White Widow. The smoke is very think and Oily and Strong, just a few bowls and you are very high! We smoked a joint at week 4 curing and it was hard to finish between two of us and afterwards we sat still just staring off into space for a good hour. I still think the cross could use more resin as it makes very little Sugar leaf but this is common for dense buds like this.

We plan to pollinate this Indica Dominant female with our Resin creating Male SpaceDude and let regulars on Breedbay grow it out. That’s right were just going give the strain away to thousands of people just because I think to many people are making bank off Chems gear. Out of all the gear Chem brought for me to test, Snodawg was the MILF of the lot. Look online for progress on Snowqueen and details on how you can grab some at.

Beautiful plants indeed.

The words are pretty interesting as well FYI!

my qwerkles are only like 20 days into flower and there is two diff smells, one is like skittles straight up. the other is just quite danky. both smell amazing.

This thread is full of amazing genetics. I know that if I ever buy seeds online I am going for TGA Thanks dude! Great growing, keep up with demand. I'm high just looking at the pictures.

Yes, nice read indeed Sub! =+Rep... Let me know if you want a nice cut of JJ's Double Dawg... it's a very nice resin producer with rock hard nugs that smell a bit like lemon scented chemicals.

"It seems Chems focus has been on insanely potent strains."--Sub
I see why you two got along, that makes two of you hehe

Ok, my Romulan def has something else in it reading your notes and seeing those pics. I got the clones from a buddy who was handed 3 Romulan seeds by some people at S.D.D.C. here in San Diego. I guess the people were working at the time when they found them and technically weren't allowed to keep them. Like I said before, mine is crazy tall. Started trich production while in veg..blew my mind.. now it's starting to pack on some really nice buds at 4 weeks into flower. I too thought about tossing her out, but when she started to flower I changed my mind. She indeed has the floral/oily/pine smell though.

I just wish it wouldn't stretch so damn much. Maybe I'll try an LST with her next time.
