Thundercat's Groooooooow

Thanks 4 checking the ladies out TC. I also like the look of the Sins OG. All nice & darker leaves then all the other ladies, and nice and compact as hell!! Its her 2nd night of 12/12.

Well she will stretch a bit on you I think. Mine has but not too bad. Hopefully mine is also done with that. I obviously slowed the flowering process by topping it, but with the buds forming well now I hope it doesn't go crazy.

got a gig growing out free Female Seeds beans for smoke grow reports and budshots...they sent me a free 10 pack of Blue cheese to start!!

NIce thats even better then actual testers!

Ok so still no pics, tomorrow will be the big night, I gotta do a bunch of work, and move things around so it will be a perfect time!

HOWEVER!

I did just put a bunch of seeds in, and my clones are rooting nicely! They will be going into containers tomorrow, and I think I might have to go buy my new light to be able to cover everything..... awe shucks :snaps fingers: Seriously though I gotta see if I have the money but I think my veg room will be sooo happy, and I'll actually have someplace to put the autos I started. I'm gonna flower them under my current floro fixture I think though I was considering trying to figure out a way to run a solo cup in a flood tray without it falling over or the roots growing out :thinks real hard:.....I might have something . I'll try to rig that up tomorrow too. I put 5 Sinmints, 3 Electric Lemon G, 2 Tangerine Power, a Critical Cheese auto, and a Blue cheese auto. So we'll see how they do, they are all soaking till the morning then I'll stick them in the peat, and I might set them out in the sun for a few hours if its nice out.

So my OGs, and the extrema have all stretched a bit more the last couple days. Not really to bad, but they didn't keep the nodes as tight all the way down the branchs like I'm used to with the Cindy, or my WW. The Powernap is also keeping her nodes very nice and tight. SDG is still trucking along and growing beautifully as are all the others. The Veg girls are doing great. They seem to be liking the pots, and are gonna be beautiful I hope. I need to put the next round into flower the end of this week, and man is my tray gonna be full :face palm: I hope its not gonna be to rough on the the plants that are finishing to be out of the heaviest light, but they will be going to the edges for there last few weeks.

Well I'm off for now, I'll seee you guys later or tomorrow.

Peace TC

Lots going on over there. I like it.

So FYI I can't log on here without wondering if you had that baby yet Jig, and half expecting a big crazy announcement.....or the play by play knowing you . HHBG!!

Ok I'm a big dork I took a couple pics but havn't up loaded them the wife has been on the phone cus I couldn't find the camera still I thought she had found it. Any way I did however end up harvesting all my current WW from my tray. I saw the earliest pre signs of mold in one spot on the largest bud.....so I pulled em all. My humidity hasn't been as low as I'd like. I have the dehumidifier in the basement but that air doesn't really get into the room I only have a passive intake currently. I think I'm going to put an intake fan form my veg room(which is always cooler), and see if that helps. If we buy the house, I'll just be investing in an air conditioner to get my temps exactly where I want them too, and call it a day.

So now I'm trimming some WW, and watching shows with the wife!

Oh ya so I had the powernap out tonight and took off a few bottom nodes. BUt that plant is gorgeous I will be highlighting her in the pics. The nodes are perfect in my book, and hasn't stretched at all like the other new girls.

Seeds are all sown in peat (autos are in some new coco pellets I got) and in a make shift humididome I made out of a empty gallon water jug. The pellets are in the bottom half, and I fit the top over the edges. Seems like it might work well. We'll see if we get any girls up over night!!

The powernap piqued my interest some time ago, it's wicked cool that your running that one and even more exciting that it has your attention too!
I think this is my first post in your thread, cheers!

I'm halfway tempted to pull your guys' leg about the big news... but I don't like crying wolf. Spits in the face of fate. Thanks for thinking of us and our little one.

Looking forward to the pics and glad for you that some plants are down. Some nice new WW to smoke on soon.

Hey thanks for stopping by the thread Colo glad to have ya man!! The powernap is not just peaking my interest I'm really excited about it. The SDG is turning out really nice to as one of my new strains. I am very excited about the idea of using my Powernap male as a breeder too. I've wanted to toy with some breeding but wasn't gonna do it till I had a male I thought was worthy. I don't have a bunch of experiance with what a good male is, but I figure as good as the one I got has grown and as seems I can't go wrong. I think I want to cross it to my Cindy, maybe to the SDG, and back to the other powernap. Then see how things turn out. I believe by the time I am ready to do this in a couple months I might be able to do an actual open pollenation rather then trying to collect pollen. I think I will have clones of each strain I want to cross ready at the next little while, so I'll start flowering them and then move them all out to my garage a couple days before the male is ready to bust nuts.

Hehe don't cry wolf Jig I'd be over here flipping out ! Funny thing about the WW is since I started harvesting the Cindy, and the Critical jack, I have only smoked WW about 5 times.... I guess I got enough of it the last 4 years I've ran it . Though this batch I trimmed last night did seem really nice, we'll see.

I've got big plans today...we'll see what i get done bahaha. I need to do some garden work, and also some concentrate runs, I've got a bunch of material for some oil and may try making some cream for ice cream. I may also do a makers mark Whiskey infusion. I still need to run my bubba kush with the everclear I bought to so my QWISO. All kinda of little projects , hopefully with all kinds of tasty results.

So I'm off to the store. See you guys this afternoon.

Busy day. Hope it went well. Did you say there would be pictures of something soon?

Lol I'm lazy and busy all at the same time. I sincerely feel bad about not getting pics up, I know its been forever. Life is well life... admittedly I've been gaming a little more then I should be, thus not being on here very much.

Did 2 Qwiso batchs this morning. It was all with Bubba Kush trim, and I did 2 washes on each. I mixed both the first washes together and both the second washes together. I gave the first wash about 30 seconds and it came out nicely colored. I only gave the second wash about 15 seconds, and it is rather green. I don't care alot about the color but I'm eager to see if there is a notable difference in the smoothness and such between the 2. Either way it was almost 4 oz of trim so I expect a decent return. The first wash was also done with mostly everclear, but I ran out and had to use a small amount of iso to cover the material. The second wash was all Iso. The second run is outside evaping in the sun, the first run will go out after, its in the freezer.

I'm also VERY pleased to so tell you guys i had 100% germination on the new seeds. They are all breaking ground/ or above, and are looking good. So now I just gotta keep them alive , and we'll have some more new flavors!! I'm obviously really hoping I get some good phenos.

Speaking of good phenos!! I was putting plants in to flower last night, and moving others around, and I too 2 small nubs off the bottom of the powernap I missed the other day. When I did I smelled my fingers, and got blasted with a full on skittles smell! No mistaking it, only took me a minute to figure it out and it was cool.

I put 15 more plants into flower last night, which puts 42 in my tray right now, and if I left them packed in like they are I could fit another 6 . But I won't be......I know in the next week they will all start to fill out and need to be spread a bit. I'll be harvesting the rest of the plants that are almost done over the next 2 weeks, and then putting the next batch in right after. I'm very pleased to have 3 cycles flowering at once for the first time since my accident!!

I have already started to put my clones directly into the 6 inch pots rather then into cups, and it seems to be working really well. Now I just need to get a new floro light, and mount it over the tray they are in and I'll be golden. The next step will be getting it down to a 2 week harvest cycle, with 8 weeks flower and 4 batchs in at once. If any of the new strains won't flower well enough in that time they won't be staying long term.

So I'm really gonna try to get some nice pics for tonight, and get them posted! My light will be on in about an hour and I'm headed down there.

Catch you guys later on!

Peace TC

Making real good progress my friend. Before long you won't reference everything since your accident. I know it was nice when losing our boy wasn't how we measured things.

Sounds like you had a good day.

Had a good day till about 2 hours ago!!! Sooo it rained all day here, no big deal we hadn't had any water get in the basement yet. Can you guess what the key work in that sentence is?






So I went down stairs after I put my daugther to bed to check on things, and see how it looked since it was at that point storming really hard. Hahaha there was water everywhere!! Well everywhere might be a slight exageration, but one whole side of my basement had water about 2 feet out form the wall, and it was literally streaming in from a few spots. I guess the gutters, and ground couldn't handle the down pour after it raining all day. Thus I spent the better part of the last 2 hours using towels to soak up the water, and clean things up as much as I could. Nothing got damaged at all, and really the worst thing it did was get the edges of my wooden room walla a little wet. I think between the dehumidifier, and the fans I've got going things will continue to dry ok. I got the worst of it, and it amounted to literally about 5 gallons of water. I was ringing the towel out into a 2 gallon bucket and had it 3/4 full 3 times.

All that being said and happening, my evening is about to get better. I just sat down to enjoy a tasty cheeseburger, and a white widow blunt. All the plants looked good still, I just hope the humidity doesn't go crazy and do any thing bad. All the seedlings were even farther above ground, and most were out of the shell and had their milk leaves. The plants I put in last night seemed very happy, and honestly looked like they had grown already. I'm gonna try to leave my room door open most of the day tomorrow to try to circulate more air into there. I also have to hit the hydro shop again, and get another 15-20 6 inch pots now that I'm using those instead of the solo cups for clones. I won't be able to swing the light for a couple more weeks, but one step at a time I guess.

Trust me Jig I'm looking forward to it for sure. Today is actually one year since it happened. I was in the ER or surgery at this time that night. About 9 hours later a dumb ass DR told me I'd never use my right arm again, and I tell ya what if I wasn't such a nice guy I'd go tomorrow and smack him with it just because I can! Pretty soon you will be counting things by how long its been since she was born woot HHBG!

My qwiso that has been evaping is still evaping....I had it outside for a couple hours, in the sun then it looked like it was gonna rain so I actually have it setting on top of my dehumifier. The air is not actually blowing on the dish, but is moving the smell, and warming the dish nicely. It isn't nearly as fast as putting it over a double boiler like I have in the past, but my temps will not be reaching the same levels either . We'll see how this batch goes, but so far it looks like its gonna have a decent color, and even with the ISO smell you can definitely get the bubba kush smell too. I'm prolly just gonna let it sit down there all night since I don't think anything bad can happen from it sitting there. Its covered with a A/C filter so no dust or shit can fall in it. I'll let ya know in the morning how it looks.

Night guys its blunt time! I wish you guys could share it with me. Hell if you were here I'd roll the Cindy .

sounds like you been busy,hope those girls do ok.fans sound good,lol,yeah its always something new here everyday also.rdr.

Everything looked good the rest of the night. Hopefully the humidty will be under control, and I won't get any mold.

So not a big glamorous update, but heres a few pics my old lady took the other night with the phone.(still havn't found the camera since the move).

Just a couple overviews of the flowering room. I believe this was the night before I put all the new plants in.




and here are the seeds the day I planted them. She took one last night in the midst of the whole water thing, but the phone went dead as she took it.


So the first batch of QWISO I evaped all night turned out drier then any I've made before. So much so that it is almost a hash, and so I pressed it out real nicely to mix it well, and smooth it out. I don't know that it impacted the smell cus this bubba kush always smells like crazy, but it smokes real nice, and the flavor is definitely better then my last batch. The way I dried it the temps stayed WAY lower so I think it helped preserve the terpenes better. There is no alcohol taste at all, and it just melts away to oil . I'm very interested in seeing how my first wash batch that is evaping now turns out. It was noticably cleaner to start with so it may go full oil. Anyway I pressed it and roll it into a French Cannoli, and heres a pic.


I'll catch up with you guys later on hope you have a great Saturday!!

lookin good my friend, sweet..have good weekend bro,rdr.

Thanks Raider, it was a nice day. Some friend brought their daugther up to play with my little girl, Me and my buddy, spent the after noon shooting the shit, and dabbing away. Then I couldn't help it, and I strained the makers after a full 24 hours, and we had a couple drinks . I gotta say it turned out great. You can definitely taste it, but it mated really well with the whiskey flavor. I can't wait to try it with some jameson. We tried it straight and it was ok, then I mixed it with some lemonade and it was fantastic!! All I can say is the next thing I knew it was 4 huors later. It was also cool, when you poured it over ice it got super cloudy and looked like apple cider I think from the oil that was dissolved in the alcohol hitting the cold water in the glass.

Sounds like a good time. Glad your girl got a play mate for the day. I had no idea how many and how big the plants you moved were. That's a huge job. I'm impressed.

you beat my Saturday sounds fun.good to see you had a good time.
