I've been playing around with molasses in my soil mixes. The stuff adds some fire for sure. These were grown in a soil mix enriched with molasses, horse shit, and one big feed with fish emulsion right at the beginning. Went a teeny bit yellow but hey they were only in 15 litre bags...

I'd love to try these teas but bat guano is really really hard to find over where I am at. Any replacements I can use?

Thanks for sharing that :)

Holy baseball bats and footballs Hamish. Sweet looking Sats. Do you ever buy on ebay or at online supply stores? I get things online when I need to.

Those are some beautiful flowers you have Gandalf, just really nice and frosty man. Healthy as all get out too. I saw the tea recipes on the last page, and they're some good teas bro. I can see why you and the Rev have such success. I should hopefully have some G-13 x Skunk#1 going in a little while as long as Herbies come through this time, IDK. I just hope and pray for just results. If not I'll get my money back, and send you some if you decide to go to Montreal. If this doesn't let up soon at the border it's gonna get sad at Myco's garden Wow I don't even want to think about that yet, we'll see. I really do think it's time to get serious about that mist either way. Have you ordered that? I don't think I'm gonna wait for results, if it can get me a ratio over 50% I think it would be worth the $25 or whatever it is. My only fear is a crop of herm seeds, you know. Oh well, only time will tell I guess. Lookin good bro. Peace out.

Thanks Gandalf :) All props go to the genetics, though! It was an accidental pollination, the folks were Skunk #1 as a mom, and the daddy was a teeny tiny boy that came out of a bag of Swazi (our local bush-weed) that must've fallen off my frisbee while making a number outside. LATE little boy, I think when I found him he was only 3 cm. I am still keeping some of the seeds airtight and in a cool place!

You're right, I should just order some huge bags of guano. Whatever I don't use, my veggie garden will eat up with great relish. Not seeing anybody complain about it so I don't need tester size bags I guess.

The results speak for themselves. EPIC plants, Sir!

I have 4 packs of the Kali Mist in the vault. 20 Kali Bubbas. The LA Haze are a popping. Those LA Haze shells were like kevlar. They are the first beans I know of to have the requirement of scuffing posted in the strains description. My offer to you still stands bro for the Miss Colombian. Want some Kali Bubba? I will always have your back bro.

I did that with a bunch of beans one time. I had like 30-40 ready to germ and they all got mixed up. I was very familiar with the strains that I knew them at about week 3ish. It was frustrating but really fun. A little bag of guano goes a long way. They sell a box of the four guano types. Sunleaves makes it.

Hey Myco...you have a four box of the guano, right?

Oh yeah, it's called Sunleaves House of Guano. You can buy it in 5gal buckets as well. I would find a nice guano that covers all the N-P-k bases pretty good, and order a ton of it at a time and see if you can get a discount. If you're talking Swazi, I would assume you're in Africa. I have no idea of local import laws, but I would think you could find somewhere close that you could acquire it from. Not so much locally, I just mean regionally. I like amended organic soil to grow with, and bat guano I would say is one of the top 3 most important ingredients in my Super Soil. I would suggest trying to get some, I love it. Gandalf you have to be the Most generous person I know. I would love to grow some Kali Bubba, my friend loves his Kali Mist mother he's had forever, and would crap a goose egg if I showed him some Kali Bubba seeds. I wrote you a P.M. and would like you to really think about what I said please. The way you offer everything you have from any info, to your genetics, it really shows what a beautiful person you are. I can never say enough about everything you've helped me with, and I could never re-pay you either, though I'll never stop trying. Thanks again for everything bro! Peace and Much Love!

Here is an update from today. I have 10 of the new seeds above the FFLW. I am not sure of the ratios but I will check tonight. I am posting up some pictures of the early veg crew. They are the SunMaidens, Daybreakers, and Cabin Fever Seeds Alexander Kush aka Frostmonster. The bigger plants are the group I flipped a week ago. Kali Mist, PE, Blue OG, Lemon Kush, Green Poison, Power Skunk, Breeders Boutique Engineers' Dream, THSeeds Darkstar, Kali Bubba, and I think that is it. :roll: I want to stress to everyone how healthy and green teas and true organics can make your plants. The leaves on the group I just flipped show it. The last few pictures are from another VISC plant that I cut up today and hung. I don't think I had photos of her yet. Thanks for looking.

Hey everyone. I was just in the flower room and I was able to smell the trichs of one of the two GH White Rhinos. I honestly will say that if that holds this terp profile throughout this bloom I will be as happy with the smell as I could possibly be. Period. I don't grow much GH but I won't buy into the idea they flat out suck completely. There are some good genes in there to be found. I don't like Arjan but I do like some of their old school genetics. I know....Shanti took everything. I don't believe that either. I will be happy and to me that is cool enough. I just like to change it up from time to time. Who knows, maybe its a fluke. If so then it will be one hell of a fluke. I took 5 more cuts from the fluke. Have a good night. Take it easy everyone. :peace:

Lots of work tonight. I had a bunch of plants that I did not like that were early finishers so I chopped them and they will become my first attempt at BHO. I would consider them pretty low grade. They were triched up ok but not something to be proud of by a very long long stretch. You never know I guess with some seeds. I decided they would be the perfect lambs to run with my new oil gear that Myco helped me with. I also bought a cheap oil rig to get my feet wet. Will it be ok to use some of what I cut tonight in a week or so? This stuff is not worth the cure time honestly. Its quick oil time. I need the medicine for my brain. :hump: I bet there is a good 8 ozs that will go this way. We'll see.

On another note I have 9 Super Blue Dream x Freedom Baby above the FFLW and 4 Starlet Kush up too. It has been 3 and a half days since I dropped them in water. They look tight. I will post pictures tomorrow. I felt the cotyledons of my LA Haze earlier too. Yeah I am pretty far out there. I swear they are like leather. I am going to try and get a super close up for you guys. Would I bring it up and risk ridicule if I did not think this was worthy of a mentioning? It is total exposure of my weirdness. Remember I commented earlier on how damn big and tough those beans' shells were. Now I know what it took to breakout of those damn things. I hope this is a sign of some sick genetics. Take it easy everyone. Thanks for taking a peek.

Anyone notice I have insomnia? :wall:

Just remember , the material you use is going to be the biggest factor in your oil. I dab alot , make my own, very into the 710 lifestyle . I LOVE HEADY GLASS BTW. if the trichomes arent good neither with your oil. itll just be usable for something at that point. had some hash plant i cut too early. blasted it all down , vac purged winterized before all that. was just shit. wanted to throw it away. whats the material looking like ? pics?

White Rhino is a LEGEND. I've got it in my collection for my 'oldschool' garden I am planning. I have now started ignoring all the silly politics about breeders. What with Swerve losing his pip at me and all, not even the decency to reply to me afterwards. Tense folk, breeders. So they can sort their problems amongst themselves I don't buy into ANY of the politics. Look at the Cannabis Cup vids and you can taste the rivalry.
Arjan does seem a bit jaded but after that long in the biz and things being as cut-throat as they are, who wouldn't be? And where guys do well there will always be a ton of people trying to bring them down and inflating every little mistake they make to a mountainous affair spanning forums across the globe. They've been around the longest pretty much so they'll get a LOT of flak.

And I see no claims by Shanti Baba that anybody stole his genetics either.

OK. Here is my disclaimer. These photos are for the purpose of oil making only. I'm kidding. I was beyond disappointed with a few plants. That goes without saying I guess. This is the bottom of the barrel. The yuck. The lower branches of the yuck. I honestly always threw this away being that I was not the oil making machine that I am about to be. ;-) It's only two of the plants. I hate the green rubber looking sweet leaves and everything about these. I promised to show everything in this thread and here it is. I did not trim these up well yet. I just wanted them dead. I have no pride when I post these up. That should be obvious. I would never show these "buds" to anyone, yet here I am posting them up on RIU. Good grief. The strain is called Olympic Gold by the way.



It does look like this though close up. ;-)

dont be ashamed Bro, we all fuck up some times, and its not always our fault, even tho its called olympic gold Im sure it have its "Bad" pheno`s as well

I had two freebee seed`s (triangle chrome I belive it was called) and I could not get em to thrive, at all, one never made it out of the seedling stages and the other I grew for +2 months, but in the end I threw it out as it never really got healthy, weird, had some LSD going right beside em in same soil and same condition who was very healthy and growing fast

my currently grow don't look to promising either, had minor PH issues and now a heat wave, look like I got half the Bud as expected :(

Thanks for coming to my rescue Slip. I agree with you on the bad pheno or genes with these 2 plants. We all know it wasn't the operator. ;-) Hell no. Couldn't be. :lol:

yea, well, its nature, we can try, but we can not expect to control it 100% (thanks God)

funny, I have 3 plants going now, had high hope for a +10 weeks old healthy Veg plant in a 7 gallon pot, that look the "worst" now, with flimsy Bud`s

the other in a hempy bucket look beautiful and is heavy (expecting some medium size Bud`s but VERY compact and potent)

the last one is a small clone in a 3 gallon pot I had no real expections to, just had the room, and it now look the most healthy and promising, with the biggest Bud`s and have`t even began to set brown pistil`s yet, other two have 1/3 brown pistil`s

There's only so much you can do for a plant bro, at some point the genetics are either there or they're not. I think anyone that has seen your other plants can tell it's the lack of good genetics going on here. Heat waves are another thing out of our control, unless we want to spend a small fortune on extra a/c. We work with what we are givin, and do our best, that's all we can do, well that and pray I guess. When you're smoking the oil from these ladies you'll laugh about it :lol:, especially when you remember what's coming next. Peace out.
