Nice! I wanted to ask you how your tga girls came out... I recently started 2 Qleaner, 2 Vortex, one Dairy Queen and a Chernobyl. Really looking forward to how these turn out if they are anything like yours, the Cher. looks awesome are they both 6.5 wks in?

I should also be crossing a querkle with a space bomb male I have, should be fun.

yeah, those pics are 6.5 weeks. I'll have more soon. the Chernobyl, Vortex are both frosty, great smelling, and low yielding. the plush is high yield and color. the qleaner is boring next to the other three.,

How's everyone doing? Been away awhile, a lot to catch up on I see. The Plushberry looks amazing, Matt. I am starting mine tonight actually. You motivated me into poppin seeds, lol. I'll be starting TGA Plushberry, Cali Connection Deadhead OG, Original Sour Diesel, ChemValley Kush, a Dinafem Moby Dick (would like either this or the Dinafem Blue Widow that I gave to a friend to be a male so I can cross the 2.) I'll be rounding that out with some AKG Jackpot Royale. I'm sure to find some dank... lol

The growing is going well. My 4 Blueberry plants are starting to be a pain in the arse. Very picky strain. My other plants love the regimen, these 4 do not. The nugs are very frosty but I have had a creeping discoloration which looked like Nuteburn, then Potassium Deficiency, on and on. Fan leaves are nuking a bit, still trying to get this squared away, but it is only on those 4 for right now, so I just accept that the strain might not like my grow style.

Here is a pic of the Blueberry at 6 weeks. You can see the bottom fan leaf and what I was talking about.


I did a little backtracking and found out that the Sour OG seeds from Cali Connection that I ordered were actually Sour Kush from Reserva Privada, and feminised at that. Ahh the things I was thinking of when I started all of this. I actually couldn't be happier with the Sour Kush though. It is one of the best plants I have seen and grown. Easy to maintain, bug and mold resistant, lots of bud sites, very frosty, and starting to stink to the high heavens. It really makes everything else in my room look stupid. Not mad at it at all. It grows so uniform and basically takes care of itself. I just put nutes and water on her and spray them weekly and they love me back. 4-5 weeks until they are done and I can't wait.

Sour Kush @ Week 5.5



This Grand Daddy Purps is my other pride and joy. It is another amazing plant. It is very mold resistant, but the bugs do love it. It has huge fan leafs so you have to be sure to pay special attention to the bottoms when spraying. Grape Cherry Diesel smell, COVERED in trichs, big dense buds. What's not to love? It is hard to see, but it is just starting to push the lavendar colour which darkens to a dark purple nug of goodness. Easier to see in the pictures I posted of my last harvest of it.

GDP: Week 6



Enjoy the bud pr0n.

Sounded good Matt. Sounds like you are living the life.

lol. The second part with Danko will be posted asap. The Blueberry is just like that brah. I grew that for almost a decade. Had to give her up but her medicine is unique, long lasting, and relaxing.

Plushberry not-purp pheno

Ya I started talking to other friends who grow Blueberry and they said that they have the same problem. Be it organic or hydro it has the same problems, lol. I am thinking it just needs Nitrogen through about week 4-5 of flowering. I put 8ml/g Nature's Nectar Nitrogen into my mix last time and that seems to be stopping it. I just start to get freaked out and remember that it normally takes about a week before the plant starts to show marked improvement. It is definitely frosty and smells like blueberry muffins. I hope that it is as dank as it looks. It just isn't going to yield as much as my White Rhino, Blue Cheese, and GDP will. Good for the experience though. It definitely kept me on my toes and I started having problems in week 4 of veg, lol. On to bigger and better things.

I am starting to think that genetics are half of the problem that we've been having. As we've grown and picked plants to keep growing, The weaker genetics give us fits and the stronger genetics are a dream. I kinda see it as an evolution. At first you grow bag seed because that's what you got. Then when you get into it, you get some nice cuts and grow those. After awhile, dealing with weak or hermie clones, you get so tired of it, you evolve to the next step and start a selection from seed so that you know what you are growing is legit and you get what you want. Then comes the time when other peoples work isn't enough and you evolve into a breeder, crossing and selecting, looking for that perfect strain for you and then you grow that. Then you just start producing seeds.

do you guys use anything when taking cuttings? i'm a bit late and have to do it asap, my guy from the hydro store forgot to order rootstock for me and i dunno if i want to wait another week... im sure some of you use teas and such right? is there anything else that would help with rooting? i'm using rapid rooters plugs and have some additives that maybe are useful like hygrozyme, seaweed, myco madness.....
i know i should be able to do it without any hormones but i'm taking a chance right now since i'm taking the cuttings right before i switch to 12/12 [i normally do it 2 weeks before, in case something goes wrong i can take more] and want to make sure the little ones make it...

goji berry juice maybe

hmmm, any particualr reason you say that about the Qleaner? or is it just personal preference? My Cher. popped and looked great, but it isn't standing upright and hasn't for two days. I've seen this before and last time the seedling just died after a few days, hopefully this doesn't happen I was super stoked to grow this one out....

Yeah, the Qleaner was from an older batch of seeds, even came in different packaging. The plants were just less vigorous, nothing outstanding visually or by smell. Hope the Cher makes it. Is your light too far? Seedlings stretching?

rize up!

He should start calling that Nikka T CAVIAR

ha no, no stretching. It jsut refused to erect itself after a few days, its slowly making it's way upright though... I guess it's an odd to thing to describe without a picture.

Anyways, that OG wax looks crazy, I bet it's delicious.

Started my seed cracking yesterday. Starting a journal also. You guys inspired me and I think I've ironed out enough of my issues to post something you guys can watch. lol.

So last night I started selection and started my Cali Connection Original Sour Diesel, Chem Valley Kush, and Deadhead OG; TGA Plushberry; Dinafem Moby Dick; and Alphakronik Jackpot Royale.

Will be doing a grow from seed through flowering and taking cuts before flowering for a pheno hunt. Looking for the sick pink Plushberry, the Red Jackpot, and the Cali Connection gear I'm looking for solid mom's for myself and a friend as keepers. I also will be doing a breeding project as I now have more space to play with.

Solventless Wax is Nikka's term for the best ice water extract. Nothing special, although we go to extreme measures to control all variables from start to finish.

Hey Matt I know this is off topic, but do your plants show pre-flowers while in veg. before switching to 12/12 if vegged long enough???

OIC. I went searching for a way to making a nice ear wax with out the use of harsh butane. I did find a nice glass BHO extractor that will hold 40 grams, that and Colibri Premium Butane. But then I found on youtube ~ a dry ice method . I am stoked and after harvest I will try the dry ice method to gather my trichs.

u have a link to that golden? i'm harvesting right now, it'll come in handy...
so how does everybody feel about butane extractors?i personally don't like the idea that much but a buddy of mine was out in colorado trying to setup shop there and brought back one...he was showing to me to it works etc., wasn't really my thing....
any reason why one would be concerned, health and environmentally speaking?
