mmmmmmm

and that lagunitas ain't bad either :D


I can't believe the berries is crushing th glue so bad right now. After reading about it so much, I figured it would be giving the berries a run for its money by day 35. The berries is smoking it in pure girth. Gg is frosty and will be different, still stoked but berries is putting it to shame.

Further solidifies how special this plant is.

Damn BudMan!!

Those are some healthy looking plants, nice canopy too - you filled that in perfectly!

Thanks man. This isn't my first rodeo, I've been doing this awhile, especially those berries. I know them like the back of my hand. Kept her 8 going on 9 years now. She produces BIG. Earthy hashy taste with an absolute room clearing strawberry cream funk. Covered in resin, she is special. Def an elite in my opinion.

:nono: ... is that coco in them pots ? Do tell me more about the Berries !

Frick'n killing it mister !

Yessir, fully ammended soil with coarse coco on top. Those berries, you want them in your garden. That's for sure ;-)

Not a sour, no chem, she's might not be all the rage, but she is top notch in my book....and just about everyone who gets a taste. The high is powerful. Initial rush that is very zoomy and then transitions to a nice body stone. Great for morning and night. I love her most on th golf course Or in nature. She is a keeper. There will be more shots. I'm going to do my best to document all the fun parts of this grow as its really the biggest endeavor I've tackled. I've always stuck to just one 3x3 tent and this time I added another large tent for th berries gg4 run. I also have two forum cuts I just flipped in a 3x3 at a different location that I'm not sure what to do with. These plants are HUGE. Biggest cookies I've seen. About the size of my nightmare deez, but x 2.

You're right, Guyute, that canopy is perfect! The kksc has been one of the greats I have always wanted in my garden. It may be old news to you, budman, but i'm def jealous! Lol.

Oh, and I'm glad it's kicking the glue's ass! Hahaha. If the glue doesnt speed up, she might get lapped!

Damn look at that training!! That canopy is perfect.

Thanks man. Have we talked about this before? Are you a phish fan?

The berries is incredible. I have been flowering out cut only elites for w little while now and some are better than others. They may stick around for awhile but the berries has became th measuring stick. As far as I am concerned, it's my top performer. I might have a cut stick around for awhile but I will eventually let it go to make room for something new. Variety is the spice of life.

good god you know how to train ladies..
you must spend hours after hours bending those stems.

A few minutes here, a few minutes there I know what the berries is going to do so I intervene and then let the environment take care of her. She can fend for herself.

I'll say it again, super cropping and Velcro plant ties with fabric pots. And infinite amount of possibilities.

In regards to keeping things around. I will be giving the glue and the forum cut as well as the nightmare another run before making any rash decisions.

I also have some really fun beans from my boy Jericho to play with. I haven't popped a bean in sometime and I LOVE germing seeds. Might be a spring time activity.

I have also been thinking about doing some GUERILLA plots this year. I just need to really get thinking on where and start getting thing organized. It would be small plots on public park land. This would be more an experiment than anything else.

I had been thinking about the same thing. It's all about that location. My ideal situation is on some very remote private property. I'm from the country, so I have a couple ideas floating around in my head.

I like where your heads at dude. It needs to be remote, but not too far out that you can't get to it at least weekly. Depending on your location, things can get dry so a near by water resource is priceless. Also need no less than 8 hrs of directo sunlight. Team Microbe has a great thread going on GUERILLA growing tips. By a stream is ideal, a fallen composting tree makes for awesome soil.

You'd also want some mold resistant plants. If you live in a humid environment. Youtube "brown dirt warrior". Some of his earlier videos are full of great information.

hey when you say berries, do you mean KKSC..DJXX


Yes sir. Berries is what I call her instead of cough. Something short. No need to say kyle Kushman strawberry cough.

:tiphat:

How you doing DJ? I need to take some shots but I've been lazy and I think I, coming down with a bug. Also, in my neck of the woods, we've been hit with some severe weather. Wind chills of -20f. Fucked up

Berries is packing on the flowers, but the forum cut looks just as healthy, if not as big. Nice work budman.

So giddy, update coming tonight unless computer dies and believe me, it's on its last leg.

Update on Nightmare Diesel, KKSC and GG4. Not going to make it to the cookies tonight. They are looking great though, around 2.5 weeks flowering with her. I can say, the forum cut is interesting. I've never grow anything like her before. Anyways, putting the two year old down and going to get all paparazzi on my bitches

:::can you sense my excitement?:::

glue and berries at 55 days...

glue and berries at 55 days...

I have been doing the berries for awhile so I know what to expect. I know she going to put on a show, quick and plump. She is going to stink like strawberries and cream funk. I know how she will grow and the milestones to which i compare countless grows in the past. Once again, she is my measuring stick.

The glue is totally new to me and I have high expectations. I didn't expect them to spear like monster sour diesels and there might be user error on my part or false hope. She has an incredible nose, is quite resinous and very healthy. She is not filling out like I would hope, but this is my first go round with her and she has two more weeks. Im already planning to double her numbers in the next run and understand you learn a great deal from each run. I believe my photos will speak for themselves. Once again, my updates tend to be photo dumps. I always take so many pics I can never whittle it down to just a few. I love them all.

Nightmare Diesel at day 65

Nightmare Diesel at day 65

This plant has exceeded all expectations. She is HUGE. While the pictures do a pretty damn good job, they don't quite depict the absolute girth of this lady. She is large and has me rethinking how I should grow plants. She is in a 15gall fabric pot but I already have plans to put a KKSC in a 25 and a Glue in a 25gall. This plant is going to easily have a few 28gram colas. They are bigger in circumference than a coke can and some are pushing 14inches in length. I thnk my goal of 400 grams is going to be met and exceeded.

When you unzip the tent you get hit in the face with rotten fruit. A very sweet fruit, think...a fruit salad that was left in the sun at a picnic. When rubbing a sugar leaf, you get those nasty fuel undertones but mainly sweet fruit. Its almost potpourri-ish. I am crazy about it. THis is my first time growing the ND so i am hoping to god the smoke is to my liking. Bc if it is, i may have found a new favorite.

***i have been wrecked with fungus gnats this grow. All my medium. I cannot keep up. Unfortunately, some buds are littered with little gnats but since i don't sell and don't pitch to dispensaries. I will live.
