i love your grow, i wish i had that headband, i smoked it once and it was the most potent shit ive ever came in contact with, it had the whole car dealership high

Hanfiking- Thanks! Yeah it'd pretty time-consuming with trimming but I don't mind too much when harvest time rolls around. I can't wait to try both of them too, but it may be a few weeks before they even make it in the tent...

CTSV-Thanks man, I can only hope my Gonzo turns out anything like yours did!

Divenosa-Hey, I appreciate you stopping by my thread for your first post even! You need some rep for that!

Floppyfundanglr-Glad you could make it here! I haven't tried the Headband yet but have heard great things, I only hope I can grow her right!

Now for my update:

Wow I have to say that I enjoyed chopping the Strawberry Cough.... the smell was very strong but trimming was easy, not too many fans to cut and it wasn't leafy at all... I got wrecked off of the finger hash from it, anyway, enough talking, here are some pics!

Strawberry cough- before:

After:

Fans:

I didn't know this would be so purple!

Pineapple Punch (indica pheno) day 60

I will be chopping Black Domina in a couple of days, then Pineapple Punch 4 days after. Blue Dream and Flo will be next in the chamber. Thanks for stopping by everyone, keep it green!

Damn... not a bad line up yourself. Did you get that "The Church" as a clone or seed (not sure if its clone only).

smokesalot420 · 02-19-2009, 07:57 AM

Central- I got it as a clone in Oakland (from Harborside) last weekend with about 5 other strains. I haven't ever tried it yet but have heard great things about it so I can't wait to run it through, unfortunately (maybe that's the wrong word) I still have a few plants ahead of my new arrivals, including Blue Madness, Warlock, Blue Dream, and Flo. I'll post some pictures of my veg tent tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Grow looks great! Love the looks of that C-haze. That was a very good idea to get rid of it if it had mites. I have been in a battle with spider mites for the last two months and they seem to just laugh at me with everything I threw at them. Got some Avid now they don't seem to be laughing no more tough

awesome tent.
I guess it gets a little crazy sometimes with that many strains. You're doing an incredible job, nice big plants from that 400.

jwm · 02-20-2009, 06:25 AM

Yeah, nice set-up! Looks like the CMH is working well for ya. I'll be getting my grow going just as soon as things pick up a bit at work..Keep us up-dated...

buffalobubble · 02-20-2009, 08:10 AM

cough looks delicious!

smokesalot420 · 02-20-2009, 10:06 AM

Guyute54- I have been hearing a lot of weird things about God's gift anyway, I didn't mind letting it go since it had mites.... I sprayed neem oil on it a couple weeks ago and then sprayed it with Safer (I think) 3 in 1 spray and it either became phototoxic or burned the plants pretty bad.... I didn't read the caution (or notice the sulfur that was in it) so I hurt the plant pretty bad. I just thought I would warn anyone else reading this thread who might not have know that.... you can't use oil based sprays then sulfur for at least a couple weeks (including sulfur vaporizer/burners).

Hazy- Thanks man, your grow is very nice itself! Reading threads like yours, CTSV, and a few others inspired me to grow perpetually. There is nothing like variety, but if we sure have to stay on top of our shit or we could have problems for a loooong time (like PM and fungus gnats that I have hopefully beaten!!!!!). Hopefully the 1/4 SM-90 + 3/4 neem mix in veg and sulfur vaporize every 2 weeks in flower will keep it away..... It just gets tricky since we go perpetual I don't like to use the sulfur burner within 2 weeks of harvest..... I haven't noticed a sulfur taste in my buds yet, but I only use it for 2 hours every 2 weeks. I have been removing plants that are close to harvest, which is usually 2-3, but this will be harder with some of the larger plants I have coming up.....

JWM- Hey, I sure will man, let me know when you start, I'll help if I can! I'm not saying I know a lot, but if I'm not with my apending time on my plants I'm constantly learning more about them (I'll never know enough).

Buffalo-Thanks, I thought so too! I can't wait to find out..... I'll jar them up for the cure in a few more days, they're hanging out in my drying tent atm.

I'm off, I have an early morning of CHOP-CHOP Black Domina! She smells nice and is finally finishing at 63, so Flo and I think Blue Dream will go in next.

I'll explain a bit more about my grow after I harvest BD, but I have been trying different methods each grow, I tried organic hydro my first few grows, am now doing organic soil in different size pots, some SOG, big trees, topped bushes and I'm trying smart pots of different sizes too. I will probably run a hydro SOG on one side and a organic SOG on the other side next, maybe coco vs. smart pots or air pots in organic soil.... who knows?! It may depend on how many of the strains I am growing are real keepers.... I've been keeping mothers of some of these, but lost about 1/2 of them due to a breaking shelf a couple months ago

:wa llbash:

Pre-chop Domina @ 63 days

Bye Bye for now Domina....

This girl sure STANK it up when I was chopping her, I hope she is as potent as I hear she is! Flo and one of my Jack's cleaner 2 will be going in tomorrow in Domina's place (both of which I have yet to try so I am anticipating this one).
The finger hash from this plant had me

for a while
