:) the amount of hash is steadilly diminishing... lol - cant help to smoke some almost each day! so damn tasty..

really one of the best hashes i have ever made. sweet and tasty with really complex high from the mix of plants that went in...

awesome! finally could get to change 2 bulbs in the flowering area.. shit i think they were 2 years old allready! time flies past too quick..

anyhow i expect to one hella nice flowering round for the summer :) atleast untill the heat kicks in. i have also sprayed the whole grow area twice against spidermites.

i really want to plant some of my ssh/ptk x beeniemans choise F3 to see how they are - but i wont be wasting time planting seeds during the summer, so i will have to do it ASAP. also i need to cut a shitload of clones, since i have only motherplants and plants from seeds atm.. really need to make sure i got back up cuts for the future...

since i made shitloads of seeds a few months ago, i decided to not make any more crosses for the time beeing, unlless i change my mind.. wich could happen since once i have a plant from seed flowering, and it turns out to be male, the first choise is allways to look for a plant to dust :D lets see.. the flowering room has ssh/ptk x beeniemans, powerplant x ssh/lp, ssh/ptk and blockberry/beeniemans..

the 2nde flowering rooms timer has blown - and iu seriously need to get a new one.. just gotto remember it once im in the supermarket.. somehow i forgotten it during 2 weeks, and i got the plants meanwhile on 24h light.. atleast they are vegging BIG :D

in the veg area i got some DIVA-G x SSH/LP, should be a very nice smoke - last time i flowered it was 2 years ago and it was insane! smelled like hot rubber/motoroil mixed with skunk and a really nice flavour! :) i might make f2 seeds of it :) quite special smoke.. i remember it as a very strange looking sativa with VERY big fat round calyx. the g13 propably is the responsable of that in the mix...

also i have managed to grow some plants so big i might not even be able to flower it.. i will have to look into it soon also...

peace!

spent 3 hours making clones today.. i dont have humidity hoods or anything for most of them, but i suspect it should go well anyway. cut clones of PP/SSH/LP, BLOCKBERRY/BEENIEMANS, SSH/PTK and from my favorite mom of the f2 generation of the SSH/PTKxBEENIEMANS.

the BLOCKBERRY/BEENIEMANS i used for clones is a short and sturdy plant. i like the structure of it. later we will see if its a keeper or not. in general i like the fruity and sweet berry like aroma of this cross.. the high is also really nice

the powerplant/ssh/lp i cloned is the most sturdy (thick short main stem, short internodal distance) of all of the ones i have flowered this far, and very stinky and sticky stem. somehow i suspect this one will be special. it has been very vigorous with a oot of secondary branches. its been vegged for ages - once i finally transplanted it from 1 liter pot to a 12 liter pot, it bushed up really fast. very nice vigor. i seriously hope its going to be a keeper cut also. this far i liked all of the ones i ahve flowered, nice flavour and high. i got at the moment 4 pp/ssh/lp in flowering, 3 beeing more taller sativa like structure. i didnt clone the more sativa structured ones, since i find they grow too big too fast for my low flowering space. maybe i should make some more clones of the more taller ones.. they might do well outdoors...

if things go well i should have enough to plant out in the garden of a friend who lives quite isolated. even if its not the best outdoor spot, its better than nothing.plants there wont recieve direct light more than a few hours a day, but it should be ok. some of the plants they planted there the last year grew much better than expected.. anyhow i made a dozen or so clones for my friends place of my ssh/ptk cut, this far that cut has never failed..

peace all

planted almost 40 seeds.. about 18 or so each of two kinds. ssh/ptk f1 x ssh/ptk/beeniemans f2 and ssh/ptk/beeniemans f3. should be more than enough for this coming summer season :) i might take some female of these also to my friends outdoor later on when they get to a decent size :)

all clones cut yesterday are doing well. the humidity in the veg area is high as hell.. they should do well..

al good in the hood :D

peace

clones still really nice looking. ill be damned if they all root now and i suddenly have 60 or so clones to worry about lol

seeds planted 3 days ago are all sprouting.

:)

been drysieving the trim and popcorn nugs of the last harvest. got out a nice amount. next step is to make some oil with the sieved material...

recent heat wave has taken its toll on the seedlings.. lost a bunch - but we are having 35ºC days outside - and the veg area is too hot... anyhow - a whole lot still going for it. if they get time to grow a bit more before next heat wave - the rest might actually make it thru the summer..

the clones are handling the heat really well this far. havent lost a single one yet. i usually dont make clones this late in summer - it can be such a huge waste of time with bad luck with the heat - but everything is going well..

i clone directly in small pots full of recycled coco. no rooting hormone or nothing. the coco i used is from a 1,5 year old motherplant i flowered this winter. i just removed the root ball and thats it.

peace all

got a bunch of clones rooted and starting to veg :) summer and autumn is saved :D

heat wave killed all seedlings. instead of planting more in some cooler spot of the house, ill just wait untill autumn. better like that. i still got clones for a long time anywayz..

peace

the big flowering room is shaping up nicelly. lets see if they will fill up properly even though its hot allready. summer came way too early this year..

anyhow, the blockberry beeniemans i took clones of reminds me of the blockberry. first of this cross to come out like this. most have been way different is size/budshape leaning more to sativa influence from the jamaican, but this one is a really short and dense producer. gotto see later if its going to be potent too. there is one more plant from see of same cross in this room, but its really different to its sister plant - instead its influenced by the beeniemans choice. very long kolas with long internodal distance. will be easy to trim..

the powerplant ssh/lp i cloned is a HUGE yielder, but its too early to see how the buds turn out. if its airy sativa like buds im not going to be too stoked, since i need rocksolid phenos to make everything worthwile. there is 3 more PP/SSH/LP in the flowering, and one of them is really nice looking also, but too tall and stretchy for my conditions, so i didnt clone it. this pheno has some amazing kolas building up. looks like nice smoke for sure! the remaining 2 plants are not looking bad, but seems to be smaller yielders atm, although resinous.

last but not least there is 1 ssh/ptk, 4 ssh/ptk x beeniemans too in the same room.

in the 2nd room there is only ssh/ptk x beeniemans plants if im not misstaken. all in all 6 more plants there, but they have a lot further left untill its harvest time.

meanwhile in the veg area, i have one confirmed female of diva-G/LP wich is the last addition to the females vegging under 400w.

the clones have all gone very well this far - some i will transplant to bigger pots soon. im specially stoked about the new "moms" of PP/SSH/LP and BlockBerry/Beeniemans. the BBB is a fast rooter and has allready started to veg a bit. i got a few more of than what i need to, so i might put some outside...

seedlings have not gone too well. only 2 seedlings left that didnt die in the heat-wave. its good i got 1000's of seeds so i didnt care about the loss.

wtf - with the size of the nugs in the big flowering room, i cant almost believe its only 6 weeks into 12/12 and there is atleast 2 weeks more to go. atleast - some are going to take even longer.

the blockberry/beeniemans i cloned is turning out to be a true gem. absolutelly amazing build up, and same goes with the two biggest kola phenos of the pp/ssh/lp.

also finally the later pheno of blockberry/beeniemans is fattening up. it looks like it will fill up the space between the internodes - wich is amazing since its so tall only a part of the plant is in full light. most of it is above the footprint of the bulbs. lets see how it goes..



i think i will take some pics later :)

bonecarver_OG

first one of the pp/ssh/lp phenos that is in the far back of the room - good sized kolas - i hope they get solid!. in front of it can be seen some of the nugs of the blockberrybeeniemans.

one pp/ssh/lp pheno in the middle of the room. it was short enough, so it got the best seat..

:) hi moppel - everything good with ya :D ?

just a few days from starting the harvest. this one will be a bit spread out in time. i put in various plants several weeks after the first load.

funny how under the HPS's everything allways look less mature than it really is..
 
B

bonecarver_OG

after closer examination some plants showed to be mature.. so i been harvesting and trimming the last 8 hours. and that was only 5 plants. all PP/SSH/LP got harvested and one blockberrybeeniemans. all the PP/SSH/LP are good in yield, but two of them are damn outstanding.

i will show pics of the nugs tomorow or so, or after its dry. i couldnt take any proper fotos of the whole plants since they were lodged in between other big plants, and i had to take them out branch by branch. the only plant small enough to take out for photos before harvest was the blockberry/beeniemans. ill post it later.

drying rack is full.. that says a lot. hope it dries before the rest of the plants are dry.. there is a whole bunch left (7 big ones) and some got still a good while to go. should be fine.

the 2nd flowering room is really far away from finishing. i will move over 1-3 plants from there to the big room, since they will get more light there.

i have one Diva-G/LP female i think i will throw into flowering also. lets see how it handles the hot summer :) the trouble is this female is growing way too fast in the veg area and is taking allready a lot of space. in a few more months it would become too big to flower properly..

also i might put in a few more SSH/PTK x beeniemans seedlings to flower, and make space for the moms i got in the veg area.

peace

a few pics..

after i dried it, and cleaned it of sugar trim i will take new pics. this loads bottom kolas and trim will make an interesting hash ...PP/SSH/LP hash sounds tasty to me :) i got also acetone ready for an oil run as soon as i have harvested the next plants.



blockberry/beeniemans choice

picture.php



the drying room and a random nug of PP/SSH/LP. bottom and middle shelf are one plant each of PP/SSH/LP. top shelf is 2 smaller sized PP/SSH/LP and it cant really be seen, but one row in the fron to the left are blockberry/beeniemans.

picture.php




mostly big nugs!

wow.. we are having a heat wave.. its so hot the weed in the drying room is drying really fast. i could even roll an enjoyable spliff with one small nug that was extra dry.. really good flavour and i even got a nice strong buzz. cant wait to give it a proper test smoke in a week or two.

this far it seems like the PP/SSH/LP is turning out really nice! so nice i decided allready to make F2 generation this coming winter. i havent had one single plant of this cross disapoint me in the last years test grows. i only flowered a few at a time, and its not really untill now i gotten a proper idea of what it is. i still got a good amount (a few hundred) of F1 seeds i will use when i make the F2 generation.

meanwhile the rest of the plants in flowering and getting fatter..
