again all darn plants in veg are reaching a size that is getting messy to fit into my space.. im sure later some day i will build another shelf for the veg part.. i just need to have more space..

now im just waiting for the plants in the first flowering room to get mature enough to determine if they are reveg material or not. the coming sunday is D56 and lets see how its going..

i got around 7-8 more confirmed females ready to transplant and to put to flower.. i just need space for them.. untill that they are under veg lights.

the recently transplanted clones seem to have started to grow a little bit. tomorow im going to have an other look to see if any more have rooted.

peace..

Diva G X LP #1 looks like a keeper to me.. Looks like it will fill in and foxtail :)
SSH X LP also looks like a keeper..

I'd grow them any day if I could.

Fucking great work Bone, nice shots too!

yeah man :D the diva-G x LP to me it looks like some quite exotic weed.. and a very nice sativa dominant structure - but maybe she is not too productive - but if the potency is very high i will give her a reveg - i tried an early tester and both high and flavour were very nice :D

the SSH x LP has a lemony flavour, and the SSH flavour can be noticed in our keeper made with the same mom - but the high this far has been a very nice potent up high - but its ages from beeing ready so its very early to specualte about effects - but tis going to be potent im sure - and also i think the buds will fill up quite nicelly.

the SSH x LP will get a bit more compact buds - since i can see there is calyx coming out all over the palce - on the other hand the Diva-G x LP will have very foxtailing nugs - it shows allready :D


the new SSH x PTK's.. none of them is better than the keeper we allready got.. the most promising pheno looks similar to our keeper - but it might have a longer flowering time. if the high is very good, and differs in some way from the keeper - i might keep it for a few rounds. i think the pheno1 is actually same as pheno B from my last round. but maybe a bit earlier. there is a similar pheno that is a lot later, that i called "pheno B late" and later i changed it to E pheno since the difference were greater than first thought.


SSH x PTK

pheno B D72

smell
- a heavy fruity acidid mature smell. hard to discribe. a lot more sweeter than the pheno C

sample
- bud from tip of branch

thoughts about pheno:
- rounder looks to the bud. its more a compact ball of calyx than the pheno C. the PTK influence is obvious.

taste lit
- skunky and acidic with sour tangy feeling

high
- over medium potency,. tried on a mate and he got very stoned. its strong enough to be in the collection - this is nice smoke without a doubt. like a mellow hazy high.

the pheno with the rounder buds seems similar to be pheno A from the last round

SSH x PTK

pheno A - D67

smell
- slightly skunky, very acidic, some fruityness, gingery.


sample
- higher branch tip

thoughts about pheno:
- nice looking, round compact buds. resinous. a keeper. smoke expands even after a month of cure. the earliest of the SSH x PTK crosses. a very nice combo with the quick flowering and the deacent yields. might be the most potent of the SSH x PTK crosses. after a whole day of smoking other strains this one kicks me up on an other level of high.

taste lit
- very spicy and gingery tasty with an acidic freshness to it. a sour mix of the haze and PTK flavours. i like it a lot.

high
- soaring up high, potent, dizzy spells, strong head rush.

lets see if they are similar really or just look like it :D

peace!

Hehe, busy days everywhere... I'm gonna start some new seeds soon and kick my Rhino out of the garden... The star stays, as does the cheese. The hashberries didn't reveg.

You're just being busy getting stoned off that fine-ass Moroccan ;)

bonecarver_OG

shame the hashberries didnt reveg! :(

yeah man we been stoned of our asses on the two moroccans firstsievse and the turkish one too :D

my fave is the turkish for flavour :D a very sticky darkish hash :D ill put up some pics of the pieces in a few days whe i get time over :D

the coop-partner is visiting.. its a moment for spliffs and fun :D no time to upload pics! :D hehe


------------------------------


most of the plants left flowering have been tried and the only one i havent tried yet is the blockberry, but she still got a bunch of time left to go.. its tarting to get resinous - but its so darn slow hehe :D maybe she will be to harvset before x-mas.. maybe not..

of the 3 ssh x ptk's, only one is ok smoke.. but not even that one is really a keeper maybe... its like a slightly more sativa influenced version of our keeper - but its most likelly not potent enough.. ill keep checking up on her..

the 2 DIVA-G x LovePotions are very different.. one of them is not at all as potent as the other.. the one i might reveg i have to decide very soon - since its getting a lot of brown hairs allready.. i chopped the tip as a tester today.. and tomorow i will know for sure..

the SSH x LP is looking quite nice but its too early yet to definetly make the decision to cut and reveg or not.

on the other hand in the new room i can notice the big bush of CT x PTK i got in there is starting to produce flowers very vigorously. its by far the most quickest onset i have in that room. a fw days ago i cut away all branches besides the tips.. im using the pistolwhipped's method.... gonna be fun to see a room with this many plants - not wasting time on popcorn....

in short - PistolWhippeds method is about cutting away all branches and beginnings there off, and just leaving the very tips with branch formations. later the whole flower and BUD production will concentrate to the very tips, consequently giving a few BIG SOLID NUGS

im using this method now on all plants put into flowering.. the last clones and plants put into flower in the old room also.. this will make revegging almost impossible.. :D so on the plants from seed i leave a few more branches.. hoping for them to reveg if they would turn out nice..

peace all!!

it's a damn shame... well, i have two seeds left, maybe i'll plant them soon.
i have the white satin from mandala also, just haven't gotten around to popping them.

i do it the pistolwhipped way also.. well almost, i trim the hell outta those ladies, leaving really only the top 2/3 of the plant. Also trim away plenty of shade leaves to open up the canopy.

Is that method of trimming working well for you?

i never take away shade leaf - its not a good idea really :D even if i trim away all shoots and branches i keep the leafs on :D untill they fall of by them self :D

as long as the leafs are left on there is no real stress for the plant at all - and it quickly directs the growth where wanted.

im a strong believer of plants making up for missing leafs - they need them so they will increase the leaf volume on cost of other production.

one example is the SSH x PTK i used for making seeds a month or so back.. i polinated only the lowest branches - but when i harvested the tips - the lowest nugs have taken time to produce new leafs, and the seed production is going much slower. the plant is trying to make up for the leaf that is gone because of the cut tips. :D

to open up the canopy we think the best way is to bend and tie up the ladies a bit. not a lot of bending and tying is really needed - its enough just to separate the branches slightly.

but in a few words our method can be summed up in leaving the leafs but taking away the shoots where not wanted.. (bottom 3/4 of plant) - pretty much in a normal plant/clone all branches are trimmed of besides the very uppermost ones. i mean if it has 8 nodes i now just cut away 5-6 of those... and the remaining branches i clean up to leave just the tip and the 2-3 shoots below :D

i just put to reveg one of the DIVA-G x LP.. its a peculiar pheno with a very different flavour, and a high that gets one quite mashed up indeed.. its a potent strain since a very small fluffy thing with calyx get you quite stoned :D the lowest part is not really possible to call even popcorn.. but i think this one with a bit of proper training and such will give a bunch of nicer kolas..


maybe in a weeks time its time to decide on the SSH x LP and the SSH x PTK that is interesting. the 2 non-keeper phenos of SSH x PTK might go into hash or oil.. cant decide yet. but i can say i dont like the flavour of these 2 at all - and im gonna have enough bud to do something with it..

the 2nd room is filling up almost too quick - and i think i will have to do an other round of pruning very soon... or take out a bunch of plants and move em to the other room.. i think optimal would be to take away a few clones and a few big bushes and put them in the 1st flowering room when i take out the ones for reveg.. but the fact i got a whole bunch of confirmed females waiting to get transplanted and put into flowering makes me have to keep things as is for a while more.

the 2nd room is getting very tight in the canopy - but since all plants are concentrated into a few tips only - and there is no secondary branching to talk about besides the main tips.. i think its gonna go ok even though its tight with space.. i mean i have no nugs under the canopy that wouold be with very low light intensity anyway - so i expect nice results :D

im looking forward to all the nugs of the keeper pheno of SSH x PTK that is gonna come out of that room.. this first round in the first room was full of runts and plants better suited for outdoor growing and harvests havent been as big as one could expect.

finally the blueberry x blockhead i have flowering is starting to fill up a little bit. its far from a keeper nor is it productive in any way, but it might be a few tasty nugs once its done. its even lower yielding that the jaiman seeds i planted, but slightly better than the LMN sativas in indoors.

the Verdelimon and the guatemalan are not really suitable for indoor growing either, its very low producing an very lanky and space taking. even if its good smoke - one cant spend time and money on these things indoors. so for me i wont plant more strains of Xyz or LMN indoors. only ones i might give a try again is the jamaican ones since the effect was very nice.

as soon as i have gotten rid of the plants from seed - we will concentrate as much as possible on clones of the keepers we have including the last aditions of the jaggen, AH, SSD, Snowdawg etc.

i hope to be able to cram in as many new plants from seed as possible into the 1st room ASAP. if i can get 10 or more in there it would be the best for me at the moment. i need to give the clones and revegs space for a while so i got to clear out in there..


very soon we MIGHT have the extended version of the coop in full effect, with more flowering and veg space - in a few weeks i hope the coop partner has set up his grow allready so i can move some plants over there. best would be to have a few moms over there too to spread things out a bit.. there might be a cool combined outdoor/greenhouse grow as soon as we can :D im stoked!

peace all!

its buzy times :D but soon the new part of the coop will be ready.. need to get some more gear...

we got some really good hash the other day... some of the best i had in my life maybe.. specially talking about comercial pollens.. this is just like liqiud caramel.. ill post the pics soon.. i think we will need to get some more of it..


got the 1st flowering room full with new plants.. and the 2nd room is in week 4-5 or so..

hehe time to celebrate xmas...,,


peace all!!

the 2nd flowering room is looking good... the heavy pruning with the pistolwhipped method is giving results. there wont be much small nugs in this round..

today i put small styrofoam slabs under each plant to lift them up a bit from the cold floor. this also helped to even out the canopy a bit too..

the first room this time has smaller plants than last time, and i also pruned them to max with same method.. all branches besides the tips are taken away..

hehe i hope none of the new ones will be a keeper since it will be a bitch to reveg with the pruning..

the snowdawg mom is ready for getting cloned, and soon enough the first moms of the amnesia haze and the jaggen are readdy too.. besides them i got 2 jaggen, 2 amnesia haze, and 2 sweet and sour diesels to flower. they will go to flower in the coop mates setup. no skunk ibl made it thru :( but its cool with 4 new strains in moms :D hehe i got 2 moms of each of em..

the last of the 3 new ssh x ptk is most likelly the best of the lot - but i dont think its a keeper, since the one we got is better.. there is also one more new ssh x ptk flowering in the 2nd room. that one is looking like its going to get quite well producing...

the best looking of the new ones is a SSH/PTK x ? hehe.. lest see how she gets later on.. including that one, the most of them do look promising in the 2nd room.

should once again mention the new plants in room 1 are from the tray i dropped on the floor and lost the tags of.. so a lot of mystery ones :D some look good, and some other are smelly and resinous.. cant wait to take out the last plants finishing off - so the new ones get a bit more space... there is 2 ssh x ptk and one blockberry still from the first round.. almost 10 weeks flowered.. i hope to cut em as soon as possible.. max one week from now if things go right.

so stoned.. dont really know what more to add.. well.. im getting stoked with the pistolwhipped method.. i hope those chunky fat top nugs will make up for the loss of trim for BHO etc :D hehe

peace all!

the diva-G x LP and the SSH x LP selected for further tests are revegging nicelly - in a few weeks they will get big enough to get cloned.. i dont know yet if the ssh x lp is better than the other ones i got flowering in the 2nd room - but i can allways take and give an other better pheno a try to a reveg if i find one...

also the CT x PTK in the 2nd room is looking promising - tigher budsites, and its smelling nice..
