Here's a pic of the first two guinea pigs. Left is an Afghani x NL f1....which I suspect is male. Right is BJ #2, a bagseed beauty....should show sex any day now. Day 13 of 12/12 from bugger all veg for these two. Got various others a few days behind.
Temps vary 85 - 90.....a touch higher than ideal....but I hope this should improve as more plants go in. Still got that "enormous echoing space" feel to it inside.
Everything looking healthy and growing well. No sign of mites at all. Veg cab is almost full.....getting the conveyor belt going...
Coming up....mexican sativa.....black forrest.....black cheese....blue mystic.....some deep chunk hybrids in veg.
Been a bit of a sausage festival in the tent so far......1 female from the first 7 to show sex....and here she is.....a Black Forrest (courtesy of VerdantGreen) .....currently at day 21.
Got another 8 or so in the flower cab waiting to show.......plus a full veg cab.
Temps 78 - 82 lights on.....probably somewhere in the high 60s lights off.
Could do with a better f-m ratio going forward, but that slight niggle aside, no complaints so far
Hey mellow.....yeah.....especially with the Black Forrest being a 15-weeker, I could do with a couple of indica ladies lifting their skirts, so I can have some primo smoke for the Christmas break. Might just have something ready in time, as most of the next half-dozen plants in line are 8 - 9 weekers.
But on the positive side.....something is showing sex every couple of days, and the odds have got to swing in my favour pretty soon.
I am certainly looking forward to the day when I no longer even need to think about smoking male plants lol
15 weeks that's patients m8, yeah gotta love a quick lady. I got Royal queen #1 in at the mo, its at 5 weeks and is really startin to fatten up. Bet that could be pulled about 7 weeks, i like over half amber so i normally push it a big (got bud rot at 10 weeks) think i chopped it at 9 weeks last time perfect for me but definately could come down a lot earlier.
just popped some new beans so not got a cut at the mo, shame might have been perfect.
The BF is some seriously nice weed......yet to take one all the way to 15+ weeks, but I've sampled ones taken between 9 - 11 weeks, and it's very happy, take all your cares away weed, deceptively potent.
I figured sticking a bit of total indica pollen on it might produce something interesting...won't get more than a couple of seeds, having just dusted the pre-flowers, but should leave the yield pretty much untouched.
looks good and happy blimey - and the BF is not the easiest to grow - you are a glutton for punishment!
it is genetically exotic though and makes good crosses. both the crosses i made with it turned out more potent and interesting than the original strains (cheese and Power Plant)
Very pleased with her progress so far, although she's just starting to show a little burn at the tips (repot + a feed + pond water for the latest watering has just pushed her a bit too much).....nothing she won't grow out of.
Here's the first of the (Exodus Cheese x Deep Chunk F1) (aka Chunky Cheese) from your stable. I have a feeling this is yet another male....but I love the way this grows!
And here's a quick shot of one end of the tent.....something going in, showing sex, being up-potted, or coming out on a daily basis it seems....keeping me busy
Fingers crossed that our Californian cousins do the right thing today.....wonder when we'll know on Prop 19? I'll be watching the overnight coverage....
Yeah...a pity on Prop 19, but when a large chunk of the cannabis community won't vote for legalization, you can't expect everyone else to, I guess....
It's gonna take me a while to fill the tent up Especially with all these goddamn males popping up lol But once I get enough girls to actually use up all my bigger pots, it won't look so cavernous...
Upwards and onwards bro, you got to be happy with the upgrade. Haven't checked-in in a while but I can see your holding the fort. What's happening with the old space?
Darko G - Thanks man....just pulled another male today.....gotta ride it out and hope the genetic dice roll in my favour soon.
FreeMan - Dude! Been a while......see you got some nice buds on display in the Field Marshall thread. Nice work!
The old cab.....is still in use as the nursery/veg area......let me grab a quick snap....
Nothing ready to be promoted for a few days...and it's chock full.....the cold nights have slowed things down in there a little, but it's chugging along. The plan is to gradually veg things for longer and longer before putting them in flower - last thing I put into flower had 7 days veg (7 days after the 1st 3-bladed leaves appear).
The cat litter box is still kicking around, but unused at the moment.....I might use it for cloning at some point in the future.
