A World On A String

[THE PABLOS]

now i would rather have a new road bike...and a new 1000w ballast...

....I just ordered $200 of new running stuff.... opened my mail box to find 4 packs of Mugwort seed for my garden.....bought 10 new books on Herbalism....lol....or I could have put that money in the gas tank of the hot rod and scooted about for a couple days...

I love my truck...I've owned nothing but pick ups for 15 yrs...and this is my favorite of all time. My ultimate pick up. It's American art....Detroit muscle...cold blue steel....it's as old as me.

I have no regrets....it has been a long adventure...lots of ups and lots of downs.

I've blown up motors....I have had no brakes on a steep crowed beach hill...with no power steering...just looking for the cheapest piece of shit car to wreck it into...

I've done huge burn outs outside Brick by Brick after a Fear show..

I've felt free hammering up a 3 lane grade (Interstate 8)....using all lanes...only to be chased down by CHP and heavily fined..lol...fuck it man...I still love the thing. Needle buried...and pinging over a 100...gas pedal through the floor...like a sled in a straight line...no farm truck should be so fast.

Yeah? I've got a minimally used Trek superlight aluminum road bike with the kevlar tires that I've been trying to move. You interested?

took a cross country trip in a '69 stang,302 boss motor,all that gearhead stuff done to it...what a blast,to be young and dumb again...that car went straight really well,anything else...meehh...but accelerate in straight lines...wow!

only if its free and you happen to be very tall...

Glad to see your still at it PABLOS! Thought I recognized the poppa in that Blind Willy Haze? She sure looks frosty...bet she will pack it on nicely at the end too. Looking forward to the smoke report. Think you will be happy w/ her! My A11LHC99 x ELE/ChemD is one of my all time favorites! Stay growing brutha!

A Batch...running together side by side in the Flower Cycle

A Batch...running together side by side in the Flower Cycle

At 22daze flower...posting up: Ma Kettle (Left), I-HOP Grape Krush (right), and Orange BrickHouse (center)....

Ma Kettle = Casey Jones (Maw pheno...big girl) X Grape Krush

I-HOP Grape Krush= Straw Dog F2 X Grape Krush

Orange BrickHouse= Bogbubble x Red Eyed Bride X Calizahr




I am deep with I-HOP GKs and the Ma Kettles....but there is only one other Orange BrickHouse....I'll be working these along with The Crunge into spring. Heavy workers...I'm pleased.

I'm now going to kind of randomly spout off...as I know them:



Ma Kettle I've grown before. Casey blushed by Krush...no brainer and I repeat "Blues go well with the Jones"....the "Maw" Casey mom was a great producer of sweet metallic twinge flowers....she stretched like a bitch...but had stronger branches than most TW leaning specimens yet had TW structured flowers. Overall my favorite Casey Jones mom.

I think this Ma Kettle phenotype will resemble the mom...reminds me of her anyway....stretchy but strong branched...plus plus plus

Orange BrickHouse



....Chimera's Calizahr fathered this mash....and indeed I am getting citrus aromas...now if I can get a Orange flavored Bubblegum I'll be as happy as a pig in shit. You know....I have not lost faith in the REB...something tells me...that infusion will be the pivot point here....I'm mindful of the Grapefruit aromas the REB produced in all phenotypes I grew. Now bring the Cali O over and blend it with the Grapefruit...let the Bubblegum come from under and lend the base structure and sweetness...we'll see...

*this plant showed some slight "Blue Line" mutations in her veg leaves. The Blueberry would be swiped way under genetically speaking....so again I ponder the REB pops....was there Flo pollen in the air that week in Switzerland??????

I-HOP Grape Krush



Fuck yes. This plant is gnarly. I have (as mentioned previously) complete faith in the genetics produced by CBF.....and it has been proven to me that my Grape Krush dads were nothing but goodness.

I will be introducing I-HOP GK to Ma Kettle during these sessions....bridging the I-HOPs into the "Affection Pool" for the first time. I am also demonstrating the value and multiple combinations I used the Grape Krush fathers in.

I easily regained the $150 I spent on GK...and have taken the males farther than the one female Krush I had. Grape Krush males...especially if you are fortunate enough to get a viable mutant....are very nice Blueberries to outcross with.

To continue with the Grape Krush fathered theme:

Day 28....The Crunge



The Crunge = Karoline Krutch X Prune Juice

Karoline Krutch= AbusiveKushHaze x Sour Bubble X Grape Krush

Prune Juice= Querkle X Grape Krush

Can you see Blue likeness?.....or can you see the Purple Urkle?....moments of OG Kushness?...note the leathery leaves. I for sure see things I've seen before...and that is just super



I commented before that if Purple Urkle and DJ Short lines aren't related....they at least should be blended. I think they are made for each other.

The Querkle was a very PU leaning specimen I found in beans made by WhiskeyTango420 (no longer around)... light leak fuck up....they were sold as QX1. The plant is well documented in a thread or in my albums. I also crossed her to TFlux Highland=Flo x ChemDD X Highland Mex x Blueberry....and maybe Pine Tar Kush....

The AKH x SB came from beans made by Krizznapp.....a cross that I found much love for....fond enough to progress it into my own theme. Had very nice OG Kush qualities....great flavored stoney ass weed.

So both those moms were hit with the same Grape Krush males....bamo....that makes Prune Juice and Karoline Krutch respectfully....and those were just killer expressions soooooo...

I crossed that dank Krutch to a monster sick Prune Juice male....bamo again....The Crunge

All the plants I'm talking about are documented in threads and in my albums. My goal is to have you see what I see....why and how my breeding decisions are made....how the courses are actually charted. It is a lot to follow....I'm aware...but it is how my mind works and how things get done around here.

as i have said before,its much like reading love in the time of cholera,if it werent for the score card i would be hopelessly lost....

I know it man....and after reading just a few pages in this thread....I agree.

It's difficult....either be really vague and appear as I have no goals or plans on how to reach them OR go overboard on descriptions and projected plans of action.

There is a plan of vagueness....I'll put it that way....but I feel I must defend my diagrams at times. Mindless and mindful....a fine balance.

Rained in....bored tincture making

Rained in....bored tincture making

....about an oz of outdoor Joy Division (chopped up fine)...soaking in 151...give it a month or so in a dark closet....shaking it up a few Xs a day.



When the time comes I'll strain (press it) out the green....leave myself with the extract of THC infused rum....to be put in amber dripper bottles (as needed) and blended with other tinctures (non Cannabis) that I'm working with.

Obviously I'll be able to experiment...if done correctly it doesn't take much Cannabis tincture to have effects....I'd blend with other tinctures just out of convenience...rather than having several different bottles. It will be a matter of fine tuning the blends for the desired results.

I'm trying to create tinctures that will aid in extending the longevity of endorphins and magnify their effects....this is all about herb use and trail running. I plan to infuse the blended mix of tincture into various herbal teas....and blend these mixes into the H2O bottles that I take with me in my running gear....however it may be a case of keeping the teas and tinctures separate...I have many bugs to work out and much experimenting to do....but that's the basic concept.

*** the background plants are exiled male I-HOP Grape Krush and Ma Kettles....doing their thing for us...nice ones.

 

[unclefishstick]

just made some bubble last night,maybe i could work that into some sort of power bar....hmmm

ever do any iso wash?

No....I never have. I keep reading about it....seems many are into it. I've never made honey either...just bubble, dry sieve, tinctures, milks,butters...(the milk I made laid me out and I couldn't function on it...and therefore didn't like it. My wife...on the other hand...was calling me a pussy and had no problems with it. We froze it into ice cubes and she finished several trays without my participation)...

I will most likely start working with glycerin in tincture...not because it extracts better (guess it doesn't)...but because of what I want to do with the tinctures...as far as using them while running distance.

This little batch I'm making now is for experimenting with blending in other tinctures and those are already in alcohol....but some future stuff I'll be making will involve glycerin. I still feel tinctures are the way to go for what I'm doing...I just have to find the dosage...and proper herb blends. I'm pretty sure I'm on the right path though.

 

[unclefishstick]

i have had some glycerin tincs that were pretty strong,be pretty easy to add that to something like a tea i spose,getting on towards the time of year where i end up hauling a gallon of water on hikes...garden is drinking more for sure...

 

[THE PABLOS]

Did I tell you? I caved in and retired the Vans....now running in the Vibram 5 fingers...yup they are better. Best shoes I've ever worn period. I did a side by side at the store with my Vans set up...no comparison...I'm sold...put over 40 miles on them last week...up some of the rockier trails. The Vans broke my feet in for the Vibrams....the rocks are very real.

We have days when it warms up...but it's still winter...raining like hell presently and getting cold again. I'm waiting on snow over the week end.

 

[unclefishstick]

its hard to believe a little over a week ago the pipes froze,looks like my garden grace period is over,wont be long till i need the cooler going....

 

[THE PABLOS]

...I have all my faucets dripping when the temps drop. Broken pipes are always a concern...especially in the hidden gardens...I'm no specialist with a torch and solder...not my thing...very sloppy at that...and I hope not to have to practice it this winter.

 

[unclefishstick]

yeah i was good to 5 degrees,just not -5...lots of people still dont have water,copper pipe is at a premium here,everyone is waiting for the trucks to get here still...good time to be a plumber...

A little while back...

A little while back...

....I posted up a couple pix of what I term: "wk #3 nanners" that show up (sometimes in #s...sometimes a few...sometimes none) low down on ChemDD in week 3 of flowering. I mentioned that you needed to be careful...and constantly check (as in every day) the lower 1/2 of the girls during this period...roughly 20-30 days into flower.

Now...if you survive the #3 rapids (not as difficult as it may seem...part of the routine actually).....you will be rewarded with a couple different phenotypes (remember I am into the 1st incross plants)....as far as I can see....just the two really. No slouchers either pilgrims....all worthy..so far.

This girl...probably more to the ChemD imo...she put out many down low nanners in wk 3....but now at day 38 (37.5" tall from coco surface to top)....she is contently blasting buds...pollinated partially for the 2nd incross...the only plant in the flower studio I've driven stakes for (this morning...to haul in her sway...why she is out of the nest and you get a chance to see her)......



Was it so long ago....that every plant I had in flower was tied to bamboo....from here to eternity? Now I'm a free baller.....fuckem' them stakes....except in some cases....always the some cases...

Some girls want money....some girls want clothes...

***DISCLAIMER: I can only tell you about the plant expressions that I personally cultivate. My room is complete black out during the night cycle, I use heated RO H2O, my PH is in range for my coco medium...I don't keep it at just 6.0( like Rez recommends but like to bounce it 5.6-6.0 although I have not taken a PH reading in months I know my water), I feed lightly at all times...except flush....I am running my flower studio up to 85 degrees (guesstimate) then cool it to around 75 during day cycle...so bouncing the temps with exhaust exchange....night time temps are around 60-65 (again guesstimate)....

the quasi defoliations and flush girdles must also be mentioned....as I'm finding my flower Xs are pretty fast in most cases....I believe the defoliations and stalled time in the veg room...are accelerating my flower pace.

That's my environment....others results may vary I'd imagine....but that's how this stuff rolls for pablos.

I hear ya on the week 3 rapids, Pablos. They're a class III at best, especially if you expect them as coming with the territory. I had two Chemdawg Sour Diesel's that did it on the first run, nanners & full on ball sacks. They looked so good I was bumming. Couldn't risk them dropping pollen & they were the only ones doing it so I pulled em out, but kept the clones vegging and ran them again. From clone, they were fine! Go figure. To think some growers would've tossed them at first. The reward was worth the wait.

Yes I've preached that over and over to peeps that were freaking. They are not difficult to deal with...especially if you lolly pop or... like me....defoliate. I found the same thing as you with the clones not popping sacks....but my favorite girl "Deliah" always put out wk #3s....her whole life. It's a personality thing.

Chem DD is such a fun cross....personally I see no reason to obtain the Chem D clone, the Sour D IBL, or any of the Chem back crosses or the Chem IBL....it's all in Chem DD.....a nice bargain....and as time goes by....maybe overlooked?

As an act of friendship....I'm currently in possession of a Sour D clone...that I'm going to run and pollinate once for someone else...but I'm not fired up about it. I've run a self of the same clone...nice and all...but....well you know...I'm into other thingys. Some peeps can't get past certain clones...that is a fact.

Federation's Mikado

Federation's Mikado

What do you dudes know about this one? My knowledge is...(correct me if you see something out of line)....

1. Mikado is Federation's version of the 1st Sweet Tooth...some say knock off...whatever...lol...just damn beans to me.

2. I want Federation's Cotton Candy but every deal fell through for whatever reason...I tried Chimera's C4 because I wanted his CC selection...I made lots of F2s but was not that excited about C4.

3. Federation also had a version of Romulan that I want....I miss my Romulan.

4. Federation is a cool ass name for a seed company....I don't know much of them...but have a good feeling about their abilities.

5. Federation Seed company is now defunct

6. I had their ISS but scrapped the project last spring when my mind was affected by Chaos and I wanted a direction change in my garden.

Here is 1 of 2 females (all I have...no males) at day 19 of flower....still stretching at 34" tall. This ain't like any of the 2.2 or Sweet Tooth phenotypes I've grown....definitely leaning sativa...I really like this girl...she has personality and is different. I've grown BBS leaners in the past out of the 2.2 and outcrosses but they were not like this one....they were way to the Blue lines...




Her sister is squat and still vegging.....

 

[unclefishstick]

did you not "crow pick" this one as much?
got burned by canadian seed companies too many times...did like whatever version of iss i grew...
