Outdoor/indoor terrace grow

[El Timbo]

I seem to have got over my seed buying frenzy - it's maddeningly addictive. My seed stash at close of frenzy is:

Schnazzleberry #3 fems - Chimera (germing)
Congo x Sweet Skunk fems - Chimera
SPG x Blueberry regs/fems - Chimera
Incense Haze x Blockhead regs - Chimera
Sweet Skunk x Jack regs - Chimera
Malawi x PCK regs - ACE
Ghana regs - Cannabiogen

plus various freebies

I WILL NOT BE BUYING MORE

Happy plants, happy grower This is the SSH on day 7 of 12/12 - true to form she has grown taller than the others. There was/is a famous cut of SSH that has been passed around in Spain since the 90s so I'm guessing that this is an S1 of her.

Shnazzleberry #3

Shnazzleberry #3

First baby pic (I'm always like a proud dad with these) - should be 5/5, I had to help the last one out of her shell this morning but I'm sure she'll be fine.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the famous Dom combines with Sweet Skunk.

 

[El Timbo]

The Sweet Tooth S1 (at least that's what I suspect it is). I never grew Sweet Tooth when it was available so this is exciting.

 

[El Timbo]

And to complete the set the 11 Roses and the Northern Lights



The Dawgs Bollocks and the Caribe are both doing fine - I think I'll hit the Dawgs Bollocks with some Durban pollen.

 

[El Timbo]

Good progress over the past week... this is the SSH at 14 days (the specks on the leaves are sawdust).

 

[El Timbo]

Update: The NL and SSH were cut early at 8 weeks - they had some dead buds and no great smells The others are at 9 weeks - The sweet tooth and 11 Roses are both smelling great and the Dawgs Bollocks and Caribe are also good.

I had cloning problems over the summer - couldn't get temps below 30ºC in the box - so I don't have back ups. I'll try revegging.

The durbans didn't make it - I took on too much at once... lesson learnt.

The schnazzleberrys and citra and bluebonic are still vegging and doing fine.

The MxP is big and healthy and has been on 12/12 for about a week.

 

[El Timbo]

All 6 are now harvested and the dawgs, caribe, 11roses and sweet tooth have been prepared for reveg - fingers crossed.

I have been reflecting a little and realise that I need to focus more on growing (in particular pest control and cloning) and less on genetics.

 

[El Timbo]

The next 6 to be flowered - 4 x shnazzleberry #3 on the right and the Citra Paradiso and the bluebonic on the left.



And the big MxP just starting to form buds.

 

[El Timbo]

The 4 Schnazzlberries are doing fine - I've labelled them A to D based on their internodal lengths, A being the longest. Clones have been taken - hopefully now the temps are lower they will succeed.



The Citra Paradiso is showing slight signs of flowering - possibly just preflowering.

The MxP is flowering nicely - looking forward to a bumper crop of pure sativa goodness.

 

[El Timbo]

Day 6 of my latest attempt at cloning - I was doing ok before summer. I need to either avoid having to take clones in summer or find a way round the high temps.

 

[El Timbo]

New beginnings - coming up for a year since I restarted growing and I have germinated the Malawi x PCK. When I bought them they were doing a 2x1 promotion so I have 20 seedlings - 100% germination in a couple of days!



I've been testing the new stash and I've been enjoying the SSH and the ST. The NL and 11 Roses have that indica body effect that I'm not so keen on.

 

[El Timbo]

The clones are looking good - roots poking out from around half of the plugs so I'm happy And I'm almost ready to switch the 6 to 12/12.

The 20 Malawi x PCK have been outside all day and night - with the solar light coming on for a few hours at night.



A bud from the big Malawi x Panama at 4 weeks of 12/12 (same mother as the PCK cross) - she has the same lovely delicate smell as her previous iterations. Unless I can reveg this will be the last time I grow her though...

Nice grow and nice selection ofstrains! I will be following.

 

[El Timbo]

Cheers Magoluci!

The MxP at 5 weeks of 12/12 and you can see the healthy looking tops of the Shnazzleberries at the bottom of the pic.



All looking good on the clone front and the babies are doing great.

 

[El Timbo]

Schnazzleberry #3 A - first morning after the first night of 12/12. This is the tallest of the 4 - 67cm from soil to tip.



The 4 Schnazzleberries are joined by a Blubonic and the Citra Paradiso II

It's looking like the blubonic clones aren't rooting so she may be lost. The first harvest was good but not great and no berry taste - I would like a blueberry or bb cross keeper but she'd have to have the taste.

My original aim to have 6 top mother plants and concentrate on getting the best out of each one is not going so well but I'm enjoying the journey.

I am very much looking forward to the second harvest of my chosen Citra Paradiso - I haven't commented on the first harvest because it wasn't a great grow for me and they were harvested early - however, I will say that despite that she is probably my favourite of all the plants I have grown in this thread.

The Dawgs Bollocks is another that I lost over the summer. I would have kept her otherwise - partly because she is a big favourite among my more lightweight friends.

From a growing point of view she is a good, strong plant, easy to grow, strong smell and taste, nice looking purple buds.

The high was ok - nothing too interesting for me though and short lived. It was strange - the high would suddenly stop rather than gradually easing off.

 

[El Timbo]

Giving the clones their first taste of outdoor life - in the shade for the moment.

 

[El Timbo]

The Malawi x PCK after a week of veg - showing 2 different leaf phenotypes already. I'm keeping an eye out for signs of the purple vs green phenotypes as well.



This will be a seed making project - possibly a regular winter seed grow.

 

[El Timbo]

I love that light green new growth that appears in the first few days of 12/12

Schnazzlberry #3 B, Citra Paradiso and Bluebonic on day 6

 

[El Timbo]

We had some rain yesterday - the first we've had in months! The plants always love a bit of rain water.

The clones have spent a couple of nights outdoors and today they are having their first exposure to direct sunlight. In the pic you can see that they are growing.



The seedlings are at around 2 weeks old now and looking great - 3rd nodes are developing.
