[Anima]

kudos on getting what you need for your drip system!
Also those bobos are quite sparkly!
Great job man!

 

[Dr Dog]

The difference between the two of them is nuts bro, similar structure, but the frost is intense

That Mumbles is also crazy as well, what a shape, all that hard work just to have a strain share your name

Take care bro, I am off for a few days, you should see me online more this week

 

[m@rg]

hey blackrain i cant beleive the soil /coco difference Wow
u think its the different nutes used or its actually the coco thats pumped more resin ?

looking stella mate ,great pics
i had a similar prob testing my seeds, the bud structure was perfect but the smell and taste were not quite what i was looking for ...gotta keep searching

 

[damakkus]

B/R, looking like FIRE at your place mang!

Love the drip too. You got it a walmart? I dont think they have that at my walmart. gonna have to check it out.

And I can see the difference from the soil and coco grows. Nice post my friend. Keep us posted on those results.

man those pics and plants look good! peace

 

[Black Ra1n]

Mr GreenJeans, thanks man, love taking pics, makes the hobby that much more fun.

ZeusOGrefugee, the nutes I use Natures Nectar (all organic) ... with this you don't need to agitate your res. Also you don't need to ph your nutes.. just ph the water to what you want and add the nutes. They say on the label to not adjust according to ppm's. You just need to switch out the res once a week and your good to go. I've had these same nutes since April... cost me 60 bucks for the 3 part system...and it's good for hydro, soil and coco,,, love em. Man I'm convinced coco is the way to go, you get hydro growing made very easy.

Anima, thanks man,, bo-bo has become a house hold fav quickly.

Dr Dog, hey bro, hope you end up giving coco a go... I was disappointed with the mumbles as is strain... I'm not happy with the growth, yield is not bad... I've already figured out what will be in the new mumbles strain.. trial and error eh

m@rg, hey man... actually I've been using the same nutes for all my flowering plants. I think it's the added air in the rooting medium that makes the plants respond. I'll know better when the one I have in the drip system is around 3.5 weeks.

damakkus, thanks man... I hope you can find the system. Dog's been trying to find it at his walmart, but can't seem to find it. I did get it at the superstore, not sure if that makes a difference. Best buy of the year for myself...

High Lowlander, that mumbles is a looker. Bud is pretty big too, not that tight but never the less pretty impressive. Thanks for stopping in.

buzzed day, thanks man!

All is well in the room/s. I put the pc male into the 150 chamber tonight. I had to take one of the bo-bo's out of the 150 and put it in the big room, there wasn't enough room for the pc male. I popped 3 super skunks in search for a male... this is going to be the base for the new mumbles strain. So far there are 5 strains we're working on... probably be next spring/summer before any releases....They're will be plenty of test shots though to see what's going on... took a few pics of the photogenic pc's.

Pheno 1


Pheno 2

[Tonatiuh]

which pheno are you favoring right now,without a taster?
definetly puttin ur mak hand down.
peace

 

[hazy]

Nice pics of the PC. good all around bro.

 

[Dr Dog]

Hey B

I don't really recognize any of those as the pc i grew, I will get some better shots of her today. I am going to give her a temp roof outside with some heavy poly I have hanging around. My ecsd came down last night, the whole main cola was molded out, was quite interesting to see that, but it really does not that much I probably got 5 or 6 ounces of her dried without the top cola, will find out in a few days. More on that in my thread

Hope all is well bro, talk soon.

 

[buzzed day]

man those look good.the 1 in coco is really shinny.peace

 

[TML16]

Man...I feel like I've missed so much in your garden lately

Your shots are looking tasty though

Look forward to catchin up soon...hope to talk on Mon. :wink:

 

[Black Ra1n]

HATCH, thanks man. I normally go 40% amber, I've let a few go farther but didn't really notice much of a dif.

Tonatiuh, pheno 1 is more diesel smelling. Number 2 has better yield, better smell and even better frost... shitty part is that I have no clones of her so I'll have to re-veg her.

hazy, thanks bro, always nice to have you stop in.

Dr Dog, well that's a bummer, but I have to say that pheno 2 is my fav so far. Hope to catch up soon bro.

buzzed day. thanks man.

TML16, damn bro nice to see you back. I was getting worried.... OGA conference soon.

Well finally I'm back.... well I didn't really go anywhere, just been busy as hell at work. My veg room is stacked full of clones for the seed production... running out of room! Everything is going great with the drip, plants look awesome. I've started watering 4 times a day for 10 minutes and they seem to love it. Pc's are getting the chop tonight, they're sit'n around 35-40% amber. Mumbles are still not ready, crazy plants... the one has potential... needs a lil indica in her though, maybe that will speed up the finish on her. The seed cab if exploding, 2 bo-bo's, one ecsd x straw d and the pc male, of which is about to explode pollen in the next few days... these beans will be testers to see how the cross is, then the best of the best will be f2'd and released next year as OGA's first batch.... there's a lot of strains on the table right now... along with two M39 cross's that have me excited... as well as the new and improved mumbles strain.... which we'll be working on next spring... well on with the pics...

The 150 seed cab...


Crash test...


Bo-bo in coco... this thing is crazy frosty... the pic doesn't do it justice.


I popped 3 white rainbow beans... white widow x rainbow 4... scrappy's gear... saw some pics of some finished and it looks rather killer. I have an unwanted visitor to the lab tomorrow... I just got done cleaning up everything and putting up tarps to hide everything... have to get a water meter installed... don't like this at all, but I'll play it cool... have a nice mix of moth balls down there too hahaha... told him I was doing renovations and had to tarp off the basement. He has access to the pipes he needs and I'll be right there to watch and make sure all is cool.

B/R

 

[Dr Dog]

Wow bro lots of cool stuff going on here man

Nice to see the business off and running, but sucks about having someone in the house, I could not imagine, my house reeks of weed right now, with the pc chopping goin on. I should be around tomorrow night bro, I have to finish the choppin, I was exhausted this morning, cannot do that again.

Talk soon bro

 

[Prof Sublime]

Yo man, dont know if you saw but I broke my pc but, I got it back now. Sorry for not comin around though, Im really likin that bo-bo pic, shit looks super frosty. I hope all went/goes well with the water meter man coming to visit you. Ill be around more just slidin by peoples threads, peacee.

[damakkus]

That BO-BO in CoCo is HOT!!!! You fellas got it going on to the north

Glad to hear the drip is working out. Thanks for posting how you are watering and such as it makes it easier for me to learn from what you are doing

I was wondering what type of emitters you have? When you have more time as I understand your busy.

Thats cool you will be releasing seeds. Thats another part I need to learn about.

I hate unwanted visitors.
