BongRipkenJr's new setup and first time coco grow

[BongRipkenJR.]

Alright, I am on my 3rd day of flushing after I had already started toning down the nutrients. They are almost ready. My crop is definitely looking and smelling diesel dominant. I should be chopping pretty soon. I will have pics in a couple days.

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

I cut a couple hangers worth tonight. A couple plants were definitely done. Now the middles have to fill out on those ones. Everything should be pulled by sunday. Right now this is looking like some top notch funk! I cant wait to get you guys some finished nug shots tomorrow. This stuff is making me salivate just looking at it. Me personally, I would of called it platinum diesel because it seems diesel dominant. None the less this stuff got a little purple and will probably be very purple in a few days. Something tells me the finished product will be nothing short of spectacular. For as much as I didnt like growing it, this strain isn't that bad. It is a bit finicky, but I am picking the first ones at 55 days and the others are right behind it. If I would of vegged for a week rather than two I think my yield would of increased quite a bit. Check back tomorrow night for some photos


Things I would of done differently

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Here are some pics of drying buds. The buds are from two different plant and only about a 1/3rd to a 1/2 of both plants.

I dont have a drying room so I had to hang it in a guest bathroom while I build a drying room.

Looking mighty purdy, bong. Actually, the bathroom is probably a good drying room. Easy to raise humidity if need be for slow drying. As you know, careful that it's not too high. Sweet smell of success, I'll bet. -granger

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

I don't like bathrooms because of of the dirtiness. I am going to take my vegging plants out of my tent and put em outside and then use the tent as a drying room.

Nice....we need a sample

For sure my dude! I will have some dry nug shots up this week. This shit looks pretty good.

I'm sorry dude... Youre not just gonna go out to cali and start growing for a dispensary.... Thats just not how shit works out there... You might wanna visit the place and see what the scene is really like because its not how you think it is...

Are you sure you are in the right thread? I was born and raised here and this isn't my first rodeo. I have been growing herb out here for some time now. I also have a few dispensaries that I have a relationship with. I also have been hired as a grower commercially in my past, so I really don't understand where you are coming from.

 

[Epiphyte]

Well, it looks like you and your girl are working things out for the time being. But, it looks like that time is almost over...Congrats. The harvest looks supa dank so far.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! It means a lot to me. So far everyone that has smoked it has loved it. The bag appeal alone moves this stuff. I however dont like it. It is profitable, but very apparent that I have to grow some organic soil buds to satisfy my taste. This stuff is loaded with flavor, smells like Chem D, burns clean, looks great, good high, but it just isn't as dynamic as any soil buds I have done. I dunno, I am a purist I guess. This is my first time in coco and I am not gonna give up on it though. I think I will try a couple plants under BioCanna next run and keep those for myself. I will upload some dry bud pics later. I think you will all poop your pants a little.

What I have seen from GETMO has rivaled mine so I know there is some room for improvement, but I will not rock this strain again.

Kinger: .............(edited as per tou).............. I am doing the whole chop down on Saturday or Sunday.

 

[vStagger Leev]

Fuck yes

Fuck yes

Beautiful work brother!!!

 

[GET MO]

Shit yours looks a lil more sugar coated than mine was, good job yo!

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Okay, so I am cutting the top 8-12 inches tomorrow. The rest will be cut about 4-5 days after. I cut select tops off of 3 plants and got a QP. It is looking like I will be pulling about 1 1/2 - 3 ounces a plant with 2 freak 4 ouncers. Here are some dried pics and what the plants that are still rocking look like. Green Lion said this strain is 50 days and urkel dominant, but everyone is getting diesel leaning buds off of it that go almost 9 weeks. These plants really shouldn't be picked until day 63-70. This is definitely a 9-10 week strain. I would of called it platinum diesel for sure or just Dierkel or something that actually represents this stuff. None the less it is very good!

Thanks, you are modest brother!

Stagger: Dude, thanks for all the +k and kind words! I wish I could be more active on here and spread the love, but I dont have the internet for now and I have to use WIFI hotspots to get on here.

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

Helllllllllllllllllllooooo out there! I havent been on here in a while. Well, I thought the yield would be pretty good, but it seems to be coming in at 2 and a 1/4 pounds. I think this strain could be pushed to 3 pretty easily. I will run a strain that puts a little more out next time. Maybe Jack Herer? The bud is funky and I havent heard a single complaint. Hope everyone is doing good out there and enjoying the beginning of summer

 

[Snow Crash]

How many days did it take start to finish?

One thing I will say about 36 ounces... That's an awful lot of trimming
