Mont Rolls with the Punches

[montroller]

Rainy day today... but I still had to get shit done! I smashed out to the boondocks to pick up some soil. Two yards, the NorCal Gold Ocean blend on craigslist. Because I went out there it only cost me 100 a yard and with gas included only 130 a yard plus he gave me a little extra. Nice guy with some GREAT property.

The tents are doing well but with the weather being so hot I am getting a little worried about the res temps rising too much. But honestly this is one of the reasons I chose ebb n flow over something else because it should be pretty easy to keep the res cool with frozen water bottles. Just in case I started adding h202 every 4 days to all the res's ... just in case I figure it can't hurt.

Other then that everything seems to be right on schedule. Here is the Purple Elephant and Headband at day 36.

P.E.

titties?

Been dabbing this OG x GDP I ran some for a client... this shit is AMAZING the smell is insane and the pics don't do the color justice it is the perfect color of orange. Rarely do I see trim oil come out like this it usually only happens with the nugs.

 

[Arthritis_sucks]

Ahhhhh the brittle, i feel ya on the certian colors an blends of different strains. I use to have this diesel i called cheech that produced wax type ice hash. I would vend it an try an sell it as cold water ice hash an sum dispos would say "i cant buy ear wax made from butane." I would tell them i have xtra screens in my bubble bag set up an this is a certian bag that creates this from a certian strain....nobody believed me but a very few cats that KNEW ya know.

When I was living on the central coast I met a guy who was a little down on his luck and let him stay on my couch for a few months. Well his luck changed up when he got a crazy good connect on what I know now as ice wax, but back then it was just some crazy good hash. I was getting 8ths for 50 and smoking it out of a home made piezo... lol it is crazy how times have changed.

 

[montroller]

When I got the purple Elephant clones one of them looked like it had root rot. Instead of putting it with the others I just decided to throw it outside. Well it lived for a while then we had a snowstorm and a bunch of rain. The plant was still standing but not growing also the spot it was in got almost no sun and the grass around it grew much taller than the plant.


Well a few days ago I harvested that shit! LOL

The plant actually kept growing even through some pretty terrible conditions and absolutely no maintenance. No mold problems even with 5+ days of rain in a row. I think the PE is a keeper for sure. She even got nice and frosty!

What's sad about it is that these nugs look better than my first run indoors with OG and Blueberry.


That bagseed should be finishing up any day now also. I have high hopes for the smoke on her, she looks and smells so good!

 

[montroller]

Update time! Lets get them all done today.

First off I am finally flipping the AfLav

She will get some more tie downs today then get flipped tonight!

I noticed that some of the eraly tie downs I did had to be removed because the stem was growing too large and the tie downs were too tight. it cut a couple of them which I am sure stunted them a lot... woops. I guess I know now.

I also just lollipopped now because I know I was going to need to and now she can just focus things above the screen from day 1 in flower.

I probably could have let the screen get a little more full but I am honestly regretting even starting a new round in the tents because now I have to deal with summer heat issues. Plus my damn AC went out so I am saving to buy a swamp cooler...

 

[montroller]

Now for the other tent at day 44

Not much new but some pretty pics

PE

HB

That Headband nug looks pretty nice doesn't it? Well I have been showing you the nice one lol. I am pretty sure the guy gave me two different phenos of HB when I got the cuts because he had a "single cola pheno and a bushy pheno". Well 3 of the 10 plants are FUCKING FIRE and the other 7 are bunk...

 

[montroller]

I finally got the tarp to start my light dep even though I took a few off sup. lighting a while back I am not sure that they started to flower so we will call today day 1 of flower for them.

Purple Elephant ^

Bagseed sisters ^


And now for the 3 Headbands, lets see if you can tell the odd one out.

Like I said 2 different phenos or two different strains IDK

 

[montroller]

I am using some shitty screen on on of the HB's to try and keep it supported. It was a terrible idea lol. The holes are too small and it makes watering a pain plus now I can't really take it off because it was such a bitch to get on I think I will break some branches if I try.

Don't follow in my footsteps. Get concrete remesh instead.

You can see she looks happy in there but I have limited access inside so hopefully she stays happy

The other GH is still veggin along nicely some of them will start to get flipped soon since I only have 5 gal pots I can't get them to big.

 

[montroller]

Also I might get my hands on some cool genetics looking at true OG, Purple urkel, e-32 Arcata Trainwreck, and a 96 Tahoe OG. Super excited about all of those!

 

[montroller]

The bagseed got pulled at 63 days.

Did a quick trim to try letting it dry this way instead of whole plant.

Prolly got 2-3 ounces from her. I'll let you know when it's dried.

 

[montroller]

Well shit guys it has been a while. I have been doing the Emergency room shuffle for the past week or so and they might have finally figured out the problem after 6 years of excruciating and random pain!

But let's get in to what you guys really want to see. Starting with my last harvest from the bagseed, we ended up getting 95 grams from that one plant in a 5 gallon... not too shabby considering she went from inside to outside half way through flower and we flushed for 3.5 weeks. I think the next two I have will perform a little better. The best part is the nugs are DENSE it looks and feels like straight indoor!

Her flavor is almost dead on to the way my absolute blueberry smelt with that fruity funk that lingers on your tongue after exhaling.

The smell is strong but I can't quite call out anything specific. This is probably the area that it is lacking the most but maybe with a longer cure I can get some good nose on her.

The high is STRONG we went hiking yesterday and smoked a gram blunt on 3 heads. the other 2 had to stop smoking about 3/4 way through so I finished up... big mistake lol. This is not hiking weed!


I have been trying to think of a name for her and I think I am going to go with bruiser because she looks like blackberry smokes like blueberry and will fuck you up!

Here is the wax we made with her trim... I didn't do any numbers on this run but yield looked like ~10%.

 

[montroller]

The black tent is almost finished up now.

Day 56

P.E.

I will probably end up taking these ones around day 63 and I might take the tops and let the bottom finish up a little more. Yield looks promising.

 

[montroller]

Headband day 56

And now some with flash because they looks so much more frosty

Take a look at one of the shitty ones, does this look like re-veg? I see single blade leafs and terrible airy buds... looks like I will have a bunch of headband errl lol.

Most of the plants looks shitty like that last one but 3 of them look like the first pictures... I wonder what the difference was.

 

[vertigo0007]

Lookin goood

 

[montroller]

Thanks Vertigo everything on this run is going much better without the bugs...

Let's see what's going on outside

The headbands are getting pretty massive... I think I should have been doing teas more often.. I will prolly go once a week right now.

The tea recipe is pretty simple
1 pound EWC
3 tbsp kelp meal
1 tsp molasses
1/2 cup humic acid

I might throw in some kind of bat guano or maybe alfalfa just to see what happens

HB #1

HB #2

And the wierdo HB #3

 

[montroller]

The extrema x Herebei started to flower in the other GH I guess the supplemental wasn't enough for that particular strain... I knew from the beginning that she craved natural lighting.

So now they are at an unkown day of flower I will guess day 12 because they look about as far along as the others...

The "Bruiser" AKA bagseed clones are getting crazy tall... I hope they perform as well as last time. I want to see 4 zips from each haha

 

[montroller]

And the Purple Elephant... if everything goes correct my next round of light dep will be all purple Elephant... but how often do things go correctly lol

I swear this plant only grows bud sites... I love her internode spacing it should make for some beastly nuggets

 

[montroller]

And a final bonus... I knew I was blessed by the water gods but I never fully understood the extent... Check out what I found hidden on the corner of my property.

That beast is ready to put in some work.

The design is pretty simple I hook-up a hose to fill it up and the drain hooks up to a watering hose. Hundreds of gallons of dechlorinated water at my disposal!

Here is the hose hook ups that are down in my backyard. They go underground to stay cool.

Then pop back up near the tank

That area is very covered with trees and poison ivy so I never really ventured over there until I found the hose connects buried in the dirt. It looks like no one used this for a long time but the whole thing is sealed up tight so it stayed clean.

 

[mwz]

Starting to fill out the greenhouse! I've been curious about making some compost tea for a possible future organic grow. What does EWC in your recipe stand for? Does that just mean compost soil type thing?
