Chem DD, Williams Wonder and F-13 with a side of SSH and an OTM too

[wsmith]

yeah my buddy gave me his F13 moms because he wasn't happy with the yield, he said it was too popcorny. But his outdoor F13 looks beautiful and smells great too, although there are no giant buds in there...but personally I like that, as there is also no mold even after 4 months of sitting around...some of the other outdoor he had was somewhat afflicted with that. He didn't like the Chem DD because he hated picking nanners off of them all the time, so I got those for that reason. And I suspect the SSH is due to the longer flower period he likes short strains for the most part.
Everyone that has smoked that outdoor gets back to me right away to let me know how surprised they are that something with less bag appeal than the indoor I've been circulating for the last few months hit them as hard as it did...needless to say I'm getting totally revved up to try it myself.
I'm going to top the clones I'm doing inside down in to bushy little shrubs and try and make the most out of them that way.
I really can't get enough of the Somango crosses they smell sooooo good late in flower. I'm glad I can get away with no carbon here...personally I love the smell it keeps me going even though I still can't smoke.
just talking about this tasty weed is making me hungry, I need to go get a sandwich now.

Hello again. I picked up that Radiant with a 6" flange and I just hung it, my girls are looking nice and at the moment I'm setting up my next round of plants to flower. My buddy gave me MORE clones and MORE mothers, so I changed my plan a little bit; I am going to flower some of the moms I have cloned already (I set up the ezclone 2 weeks ago and took 120 cuts, at least 8 from each plant, and they're all rooting well in it) and he also gave me a bunch of smaller clones he had been planning on flowering but didn't have space for at the moment so those will be in there too. And the clones I've been working on myself as well. So I'm going from what I thought would be a relatively small run to me having to clear out a ton of shit from my flower room, upgrade my hood and possibly throw another light in there and I'm now about to start my most ambitious round of flowering yet.
And yes, I can finally smoke again. And damn I like what I've been turning out! Which I still have a few jars of so when I get through all this transplanting and watering and cloning I will post pictures of all of the awesomeness.
Now cross your fingers that my next 70 days are uneventful and also fruitful. Thanks!

Great to see ya up and posting again, wondered about this thread just yesterday! Great news on the smoking again! So I must know how the OTM smokes!!! Always wanted her! and How do you likke the F13?

[wsmith]

actually I'm about to put them all in flower tonight/tomorrow I had a lot of cleaning to do in there and a few runs worth of trash to get rid of...and now my buddy gave me all of these other genetics. The OTM is still vegging it took a loooong time for the clones i bubbled to take off and the ones I did in cups with coco are still smaller than what I like to veg. Although I have 4 healthy clones now about 10" tall I just pinched the tops on them yesterday. Out of the ones I started initially the F13 and some Chem DD are ready, I'm going to wait on the others for now. I've been noticeably more lazy since I started smoking again I should probably dial it back a bit...haha...the outdoor F13 was nice, the outdoor Chem DD I have now is nice too, I swear on my grandmother that I'll have a photo update tomorrow.
My aeroclones are doing stellar. And now I don't know where to put them all. I think I'm going to use the ezcloner from now on, it isn't the end of the world to clean the res between runs and it just works reliably. I'll say it took me more than a week to get roots on the bulk of my clones though. But that could be because I'm new to aero and the temps are a big factor to get used to having such control over. I'm about three weeks in and most of my girls are rooted and a few kicked the bucket. No res changes so far. I gotta pull them out asap everything in the house needs to move a bit on up...
I feel a lot better without 6 or 7 months of grow trash cramping my style in here. But I'm freaking beat from dragging it all out and hauling it to it's fate.
I had a lot of family stuff that has been stressing me out lately and some fairly serious security issues to work out so I dialed back a lot of what I was planning and I just kind of chilled and vegged for a month, I accidentally stashed some clones in a closet and forgot them there and killed a few that way too
but I'm still free and I'm getting back on track thankfully I saved from my first couple go rounds and I'm not screwed.
I still won't flower as much as I wanted to but I can cram way more plants in my space effectively now with the bigger hood.
The F13s are like little bushes I can't wait to see them mid flower. I'm excited this is the first time I flowered some genetics I didn't pull out of a bag of weed

 

[wsmith]

changed plans.
took more clones, ran a couple batches off in the aero machine, picked some moms to flower.
won't flower as much as i wanted to- my ass! my bro heard my misery and threw me a bunch of clones that needed some tlc so I waited a little longer, and now i have 22 girls in 4 gallon pots with a fairly even canopy, that have been in my flower room under a 1000 for 2 weeks, the last 8 days on 12/12.
We have a few strains in there, since I was gifted a bunch of stuff I may or may not keep around. Trying to pick some to settle on for the next round.
Lemongrass Thai x Deep Chunk - flowered a mom after cloning the christ out of it. Got some nice rooted clones so we'll be keeping this around
Snowdawg Kush - flowering a mom, took lots of clones, see lots of roots, SAA
SSH - yep, she made it, and I have a couple more in back for moms. Keeper. Don't like the long flower time though, I'm a 63 day guy maybe 70 only running 1000 so I need to keep things moving through so I can afford to keep them moving at all
OTM - got a few of them, yep, they made it too
Blue Moonshine - a couple of these, but smaller clones, in there.
Maple Leaf Indica - YES! A nice gift of a mom and 2 clones, flowering the clones, keeping the mom back (duh)
Wonderdiesel - got a few of these in there
Pomello - a raggedy ass mom that i was going to chuck but decided to flower
Somango - flowering mom
F-13 - two of my sexiest F-13 girls (and they are sexy )
Chemdawg DD - you know what I don't like the looks of this plant but I like how it smokes
C99GF - a solitary C99 made it. not keeping these genes around, no luck at all getting it to root so you're outta here after this round

I think that covers what is in flower. There are a bunch of other genetics I have vegging to flower directly after this round...although that run will be heavily dominated by Chemdawg DD because that mother is a whore, roots clones super fast no matter what method I've used. I have settled on aero cloning by the way, I love my EZ 120. It is truly a breeze. Cut, clip, stick it in the machine. No hormones. No nothing. Just RO water in the tub and roots in a week or two (I am NOT getting roots in three days, that is bananas)
I PROMISE I'll put some pics up finally when the lights come on
I already took some, but they are from day 1 of 12/12, nothing to see here, except vegging plants. I look at these girls vegging all day so I am quite bored with vegging plant matter. I wanna see a flower show already I've been dicking around all year!
I meant to start 12/12 on 4/20 but I got high and fell asleep, true story.
I cannot wait to finish my first flower run with these most amazing genetics! He said the maple leaf was his personal fave and the reviews are sick. They are throwing pistils EVERYWHERE such tight spacing too it looks like they are going to be on the top of my list as well, and apparently also a good yielder.
And I bushed my F-13 out really nice so I think I will do OK with those too, I know it's a low yielder but I put some love in to those girls.
This really is the best job in the world why the bloody hell it is still illegal is beyond me. It doesn't hurt anyone, it doesn't create a ton of toxic waste, it just makes people happy. Like the Hawaiian politician said on the G4 420 special...anybody watch that?

 

[wsmith]

at that time I was still smoking the last of my old genetics, the stuff I've been setting up for all year is finally in motion though, I tore down almost everything and started again after I got freaked out a month or two ago...safety first...not cultivating anything but a worse attitude if i wound up in jail, haha

 

[wsmith]

Ok. Here we go with some pictures. I'm doing a little at a time here. We'll start with F-13 and a Wonder Diesel at Day 22.

Sorry about the sideways


F-13 left WD right





closeup of F-13 bud

had to LST the WD to control stretch



some old time moonshine


Super Silver Haze, I can't wait for this one...watch out she's a stretchy girl i had to bend her over within a week, plus side is she's very willing and now i get more ssh for me



Somango towards the back, corner of my LGTxDC lower right and I think that is the top of a blue moonshine lower left


Snowdawg Kush up front, Chem DD back right and corner of an F-13 to the back left



I am absolutely in LOVE with this maple leaf indica x (pinebud x G-13) and I haven't even blazed it yet. I think I want to do a room just full of these. It looks like it's going to yield lots of fine fine smoke and it smells delicious already

the one up front is C99 Grapefruit pheno. Only strain here I'm not keeping around, had no luck cloning it although i think I know what I did wrong, but I'm not crying with all of the other beautiful genetics I have floating around here at the moment I am a happy guy right about now I can't wait to finish up this round and try out the goods


and last but not least a blue moonshine for good measure

all at day 22 flower.

There are 22 girls in this particular room, well, not this room exactly, but you know what i mean. Fucked up my light hangers so the height isn't quite optimum but this is a radiant 6 with a 1k, hand water every other day and rotate everything around the room, i'm a human light mover haha.
I'll keep em coming.
now today i think i'm going to hash up the trim from my last batch and have a nice relaxing burn. I'm so glad I gave this a shot, it's so rewarding watching these plants come to maturity and look so purty at the same time. It's criminal that doing this is criminal, because these girls don't get anything but love from me, and I know for damn sure I never hurt any body in their name.
Be safe.

 

[wsmith]

did i mention i LOVE F-13

 

[wsmith]

I forgot the pomello, probably because the one i have in there is not worth showing. it's a realllllly beat mother plan i threw in for posterity. although it looks like it may yield one rather large cola

 

[wsmith]

by the way, i wanted to mention that some of those that looked like small shrubs and perhaps way too bushy, are mothers that i threw in to flower to make room for something else, but that snowdawg kush in particular looks like it's going to come out fine by me. i think the trick is just to keep moving them religiously each watering, to make sure they get roughly equal exposure to the brunt of the HPS, and i'll be fine. i feel like that room is a little big for that hood, but i think i will get a decent yield based off my previous experience in there. everything really seems to have taken off in the last week. thankfully it looks like the stretch has stopped, circumstance forced me to veg some a little too long, and some not as much as i wanted to, but i did what i could to keep them as close as possible and still stay on my time schedule.

 

[wsmith]

32 pounds of ice says it's a good night to make some bubble

 

[wsmith]

question.
i have a lot of moms i 86'd to keep my numbers down, of course i had rooted clones.
they're all in a trash bag.
do i take the leaf off of them and throw it in the hash bags or not.
i wouldn't think so, since they're moms, and you want trichs, and there are not any mature trichs in there, i would think it would at least make lousy hash. some of the stuff, like OTM, starts showing a lot of trich looking things in veg though, when you keep them vegging for a few months
just want to make sure i'm not throwing out a bunch of good smoke, because i could use some for my head
on the other hand i don't want to waste ice/time on something destined for lousiness

 

[wsmith]

wow just cleaning my bags and found a crap load of kif i missed last time this just got wayyyyy more fun

 

[wsmith]

found a better way - use a ladder to hang the bags. that way i can sit here, and smoke all of that kif i found while the bags drain

 

[wsmith]

so far i've used less trim and better trim, some popcorn buds. also, less water, less ice and more assbeating with the paint mixer. and hanging off the ladder. and my yield, on pull three, is about the same as after six pulls the first time if not greater than, of much higher quality hash. go me. i think i have about 7g now and thats all i got in total last time, and these bags are still kicking out almost 1/8th per pull.
again
less trim. this is so so so cool. i may not have got to smoke my last harvest in weed form, but i'm super psyched to blaze some from the 25mic screen

 

[Lurker90]

hows the f13 compare to other strains? ive thought about ordering that one for a while

 

[wsmith]

personally, this is the first time i've flowered it out, it looks pretty nice and healthy in there for where it's at timewise. my buddy wasn't thrilled with the yields but it makes some mighty fine smoke, and i think the plants themselves are beautiful to look at. it can be somewhat popcornish, but i think i'm going to get some decent buds here judging from how my girls are looking. i'm running a ton of different strains to figure out what i want to focus on a bit more in the future, but i do like keeping some variety around.

 

[wsmith]

hydrating some coco, crop circles discs. they sure do drain fast. mixed in the last of my GH red bricks, i think these discs are a lot more coarse, and don't expand as much. curious to see how they do with the rooted clones i'm about to yank out of aero and transplant. a little nervous i don't really like changing my coir up, i like the GH mixed brick but i can't seem to find any around here right now and i have a few cases of these discs. upside of draining faster, is i can hydrate and rinse more faster although i won't like it if i have to water a hell of a lot more often. contemplating buying some atami, and cutting it with that to offset some of the drainage and up the water retention a bit. don't care with fresh rooted clones so much, but when i transplant to bigger, i'd rather it hold water better considering i'm transplanting a slew of clones with more behind them. and in front of them.
making some more bubble later, cleaning the aero machine, and watering the flowering girls.
tonight, i cut off the micro and we're just going to use 9ml bloom/7ml liquid koolbloom per gallon RO water from here on out. time to get some nice buds going and forget all this leafy veg stuff for a while.
things are moving along nicely, it's great. and that 25 mic bubble goes good with anything, really. i'll post some more pics when i have something else ready to show

 

[wsmith]

update

update

everything is still going swimmingly here. chem double d and C99 are both starting to show a little bulk finally, which is nice, and my wonder diesel is really putting on some weight. The F-13 just looks beautiful, and the MLIxP13 is looking absolutely fucking phenomenal, I managed to get a couple of cuts rooted in aero off of the ones I'm flowering, I'm super stoked to have that strain good and preserved for myself, because I want to smoke a lot of it.
old time moonshine, another winner there. all around, everything is kicking some ass.
i'll try and put up some more pics from flower later on, which probably translates to i will in about a week, but we'll see how i feel after pulling and rotating them when i water in a few mins. we're about in the middle of things now, i think some of these puppies are going to stay in there longer than 63 days though, i don't need to pull them all at once, and why rush things when you don't have to. it's not as if i'm going to smoke it all in a day, the only problem is, i will be so stoned and lazy after i pull the first one, my motivation to work will probably drop off massively. joke, joke.
i am happy that chem is starting to show some vigorous flowering, seeing it next to the explosive wonder d and the MLIxP13 had me nervous i was fucking something up for a second, i've heard it's a very good yielder when done right. it's definitely on track to make me happy now though.
somango, or semango, whichever is correct i'm not sure, is once again making me happy, i can see the traits in it i saw in the willies/semango crossed genetic i was working before, as well as pick out the willies traits i see in the wonder diesel which i also saw in those crosses. it smells delicious at all times, and it just bulks up so fast and throws out so many white pistils all over the place, when you flower that stuff, you know early on you're going to get some killer smoke. and for the record i don't have really bad problems with nanners on that or (we really have yet to see with this one) the chem dd. and i've grown some semango dominated crosses that came out just fine. they had some nanners, but by no means a lot, and the yield and quality of the smoke make it a strain i'm proud to finally get to run and keep around for future projects.
speaking of which, it looks like a very lemon grass thai x deep chunk chocolate future is on my horizon...but we'll get to that when we get to it
be safe and be happy, friends
