What the fuck is that? Some kind of, like, Tiny Stage or something? Haha. Why’d that dude do that?
Yeah. As much as I love Slayer, I’m not playing a BC Rich haha.
I signed it. I used one of my pornstar names, though, and one of my pornstar email addresses, too. Hope that doesn’t fuck shit up.
Also, @ElGalloBlanco you know what I’ve been listening to a lot lately? The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by the Black Crowes. I LOVE that album, always have. I was into it when it first came out and even then, I was like,”Why do I like this album?” haha. It’s so far outta the realm of most of the shit I was listening to back then. But I do think it’s one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll albums ever recorded.
Every time I put it on, though, my girl’s always like,”Noooooo! Not Blues Hammer…!” I dunno if you’ve ever seen Ghost World, but that’s what she’s referencing. I actually kind of get personally offended every time she calls that album “Blues Hammer”; it’s much, much better than Blues Hammer haha…

it’s a miniature scale “Wall of Sound” completely functional
They actually just finished a 1/4 scale version they installed in a church somewhere.

Alright, so I managed to water and take pics last night. I did not, however, manage to drink less. This is starting to become a real problem…
Anyway, here’s the Malibu Pure x Lemon Thai, flower day 48:
Notice the humidity level on that hygrometer. 25%… Jesus… I cranked the humidifiers after I watered and took pics last night, though, and everything was good this morning. Still… The fact that it ever gets down to 25% is just… heartbreaking haha.
I didn’t take her out of the tent to water last night, so all’s I could get were these over-exposed closeups:
Her pistils started withering a whiiiiiile ago, but her flowers kept getting noticeably fatter, haven’t really been sure what to do with her. But I think I’m gonna chop her in the next few days, despite the fact that chopping her on, like, day 50 seems awfully early.
This is the issue, I think, with leaving plants on an extended 14/10 lighting schedule before I flip. There’s, like, no frame of reference, simply because I have no idea when they actually “officially” started flowering.
Here’s the Nikah, flower day 48 (I labeled all the pics “flower day 47”, but realized afterwards that it’s day 48; I’m not gonna go back and re-label all of them haha):
I think I’m gonna chop her pretty soon, too.
Santa Cruz Pure Haze x A5Thai, flower day 48:
She also seems to be finishing up wayyyyyyy quicker than I woulda thought, considering the genetics. But I’m gonna let her go for a while longer, just to see what happens haha. Who knows? Maybe she’ll just explode…
She smells a lot like the Bandaid Hazes, with that sort of “salty, sweaty” thing, so I’m thinking she’s probably leaning more towards the A5Thai male. But I really don’t know.
And here’s the Pura Vida f2 #2, flower day 48:
And the Pura Vida f2 #5:
I LOVE both of those Pura Vida f2’s, but the #5 plant is probably my favorite in the tent. She’s just so “nug-y,” like with all of these branches and just a sweet-ass-looking little golfball at the end of each one. Very cool. I can’t fucking wait to blaze her, but I think they both still have a little while to go. Those two and the next one I’m gonna post pics of were the three that weren’t left on the extended 14/10 schedule, so they’re growing a little more predictably or whatever.
Sour Diesel x Dragon Energy, flower day 48:
Skipping watering this one the other night was probably a bad idea haha; she was looking pretty rough when I took her out of the tent last night. But even before that, I was feeling a little ambivalent about her. Hopefully that’ll change soon… I do get the feeling that she’s gonna take a while to finish, though, probably another month, minimum. But you never know.
Anyway, yeah, I guess this is the grow log now haha, guess I’m not gonna start a new one specifically for these plants. In any event, shit’s coming along…

Oh man that sour d x DE looks a lot like chemdog! Hopefully that’s the one you’ve been searching for!
I’d be inclined to wait a bit longer on the malibu and nikah just from the thai and tk in there but 
everything’s looking damn good!

what are the smells like?

Yeah, I was thinking she looks real familiar. Even though I’ve never grown Chem, I’ve read plenty about her and seen tons of pics, too. Seen plenty of pics of (and blazed) Sour Diesel, too. The fact that that plant has those noticeably dark-green sugar leafs, coupled with the super-light green calyxes makes me hopeful. I’m just waiting for the pistils to get that “wire-y” look to them and for the calyxes to get more “bulbous” or chunky or whatever; I always associate Sour Diesel with wire-y pistils, light-green calyxes and dark green leaves, in addition to the flavor, of course haha. It’s kind of why I’m ambivalent about that plant right now, just because I’m not getting a,”These buds will get chunky soon…” sorta vibe from her.
But it’s only day 48.
She smells pretty fucking amazing, though. Very loud already. Not necessarily “Sour Diesel-ish,” but it’s early.
Still, though, I can smell her (and everything else) out in the front yard haha every time I get back from the grocery store or wherever.
Yeah, I dunno. Re: the Malibu: her flowers have been getting noticeably bigger day by day, so I may wait a little longer. She seems to have started slowing down lately, though.
As far as the Nikah’s concerned, those OMG crosses seem to finish up pretty quickly. That Soar plant I grew a while back was clearly done on day 50, but I let her go another six days, mostly just for the fuck of it haha.
We’ll see. Honestly, I never know what the fuck I’m gonna do haha. I might chop everything down tomorrow night haha. Or maybe I’ll let them go another month.
Not really. I’m not gonna do that, I’m just sayin’…

There’s a pretty noticeable difference between the two. I can’t remember now which is which, but one of them is extremely “OG” perfume/cologne, while the other one is much more Chem-y, “sharp,” with that sort of “why does this plant smell like nothing natural”-kinda smell haha.
They both smell really good, though. I’m fucking stoked.
Edit: sorry, @the_bot I was talking about the two Pura Vida f2’s.
The Sour Diesel x Dragon Energy smells pretty OG-ish, too, which is another reason why I’m sorta not that into her right now. I squeezed some nugs last night, desperately trying to find anything “Sour Diesel-ish” about her, but, like holy mentioned, it was more of a Chem thing going on.
But again, we’ve got a while to go. I’m sure shit’ll change.

Those plants all looks fucking boss.
14/10 seems to work like “flower lite mode” or something. They flower some, but then when they are actually switched to 12/12 it’s like all the prechecks are done and they just go full blown into flowering.

Yeah, it’s kind of weird to leave them on 14/10 for a month. Honestly, like I’ve said, it wasn’t by choice exactly. I’ve always left them on 14/10 for two weeks, once they’ve been transplanted into the seven-gallons while I transition to flower. But the last two grows, shit just worked out where I either had to leave them on 14/10 for a month or try dealing with, like, going into the grow room with a flashlight and watering some plants that were vegging and twelve hours later watering some plants that were flowering and shit. It woulda just been a total pain in the ass.
For sure. That’s why I’m thinking that the plants that were on that lengthy 14/10 schedule are actually almost done, despite the genetics and the fact that it’s only been 48 days. They look done to me.
Maybe I’ll bust out my loupe haha!, even though I can’t see shit thought it…

Wow, everything is looking really good! Loving the look on that Santa Cruz Haze Thai, is the Nikah reminding you of the past OMG crosses you’ve grown aside from flowering time? Wonder if the OMG seems to come through more dominantly in its crosses? And thanks on the music recommendations, that Black Crowes album name does sound familiar but if I have listened to it, it’s been years.

Good job with your soil

Yeah, totally. They seem to look the same every time, with those sorta “rails of flowers” up every branch, but I haven’t grown enough of any one OMG hybrid to say that that’s something that always happens. I grew two Smart Move plants a few years back and one of them looked like that Nikah (and the Soar), but the other Smart Move didn’t at all. It does seem, though, like that OMG male can sorta dominate the crosses. Or rather, it’s not hard to tell which plants are leaning OMG and which ones aren’t.
I don’t think that’s a bad thing haha. I haven’t blazed an OMG cross yet that I didn’t really dig. And in fact, between the two very different Smart Moves I grew, I preferred the one that seemed to lean “Afghani,” with the lack of stretch and the gigantic colas and shit. I wish Bodhi hadn’t discontinued that male.
I signed up on discord a few weeks ago specifically so I could grab a pack of GDP x OMG that SHOE was auctioning off, but then I got a grip and talked myself out of it haha. Just couldn’t afford it, but I know that I’m gonna be kicking myself in a year or two for not grabbing it. I love that OMG male.
Always. I dunno why I didn’t mention it earlier, that album really has been on repeat for a few weeks now, it’s what I’m listening to every time I log on to OG lately. My girl HATES it haha, I dunno why…

Ah, okay haha. I dunno about my soil, I think I may be fucking it up a little bit. Added that biochar last year and now I’m kind of “over correcting” or whatever. We’ll see…

If you feel like you’ve got the alcohol use disorder, the doc can prescribe some shit to make give up on alcohol. Not many people know it exists.

I’m aware of it. I’m on the public health thing here in CA, so it’s kind of difficult to get an appointment, but the doctor I’ve talked to has recommended multiple times whatever drug that is that alleviates cravings for alcohol.
I just really don’t like eating pills, so I always turned him down. And I’ve weened before. It’s a really unpleasant experience, but I’ve done it haha. I was this close to being done last Friday, but then a friend of mine came over and she and I’s “thing” is “sitting in the backyard and drinking a lot and talking for twelve hours,” so… Right back on it.
Thank you for the recommendation, but I’ll be done soon, for real. Like, in two or three days. Can’t fucking wait, either. I’m just reeeallllyyyy not looking forward to the process haha. It is not fun.

I’ll be praying that it is easy for you.
I quit about 2 years ago, and once it was gone, my body and I felt so much better.
I kinda forgot what it was like not to drink, and I actually like it a lot better without it.
I feel cleaner, if that makes any sense.
If I can do it, I know you can do it too brother.
If you need anything let me know
