👨🏽‍🌾 Farmer Pigeonman (OR): How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Indoor Growing

A very refined pallet indeed. :star_struck:

I’m looking so forward to trying some of the Fog Dog! 🪴

Thank you Mrs.Pigeonman for the unfettered review! :slightly_smiling_face:

I set 3 FogDog beans to pop. Only had one to blast off. The other two never broke ground. They popped in the paper towel. I may have rushed to get them in the beer cups, tho. For whatever reason, only got one with the will to live.

I ended up doing some re-arrangement of the equipment after watching @Foreigner battle his hazes as they keep stretching due to his solid care for them. I took the fan out of the AC Infinity tent which now allows me to lift the light to a point where I can get 4ft of growing space in this 5ft tall tent!

So now I’m feeling confident with this tent flowering as well with the 3 strains in here that I have NO IDEA how big they will want to get once this party starts. :grin:

Let’s then start with the AC Infinity 2x4 tent which is now hosting the CBD plants in flip.

Each of the three plants are now heavily trained (HST, like our taxes here in Ont…) with hopes of maximum gains while keeping the stretch under control to avoid making any cuts. :+1:

CDB OG KUSH, is the largest of the 3 plants in here and the one I expect the highest yield from. I chose the larger pot for this as I plan to reveg it when done due to Kush strains giving my partner the greatest pain relief of all strains types she’s tried.

ACDC CBD - Plant #2, I’m happy to report that the “finicky to grow” strain has decided to appreciate my work with them. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: @Rhino_buddy

ACDC CBD - Plant #3, same deal but this one is not as pleased with me so I’m gonna find it a Dinosaur to appease it. :t_rex: .

1 year ago I wouldn’t have even thought that I’d be growing CBD strains but here we are! :rofl: They is gonna make some great medicine for all those in need that I care aboot.

All these plants were in the “MedCab” 2x4 tent; but since that tent is light-leaky as fuck and has the bare minimum of venting portals I don’t think I can/will ever use it for flowering. The AC Infinity tent is pitch black so it’s a no brainer… but I ain’t gonna change the names. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

In the MedCab 2x4 we have the 2x Summer of 2022 photoperiods, 1x “gift to be”, 1x THC “baby” and the 1x CBD AutoFem which could do with the 18/6 light period.

The THC “baby”, aka: BLACK SNOW.

This is one weird as fucker. :crazy_face: Short and stubby with really tight nodes running up a fat stem. It was leaning for whatever reason so I’ve staked it and turned it’s canopy away from the light because it’s my bitch and not the other way around… for now at least. :rofl: :crazy_face: @anonymous4289

It’s only 3-4 inches tall, but it’s SUPER WIDE & THICC (like i like 'em :wink:).

If this ain’t a fem it’s the first male that’s grown like this for me :man_shrugging: .

Earth Lover CBD AutoFem; is championing it’s lineage by throwing down some really nice branching structure sporting perfect little flowers all while being bound in a 1L volume air-pot. This one needs 80+ days so it’s gonna be a fun ride as i’m continuously needing to leaf tuck this lady as she goes. @DougDawson

The Manitoba Poison is a freaking BEAST! The sacred geometry training is working and I’ll do more in a few weeks time (or earlier if the plant demands it). The male… if decided to move it from the basement and will pull a few runes to see IF I should keep it for pollen or just grow out more specimens later in a dedicated seed run.

I have 2x 30Gallon fabric pots in the yard and I think I need to use them for both of my photoperiods this year because these plants do deserve the best chance to blow our minds by harvest season. @jessethestoner

Here is the “gift”, the second UK Cheese clone that is a wonderful plant but is now destined for a new home. I was gifted this cut from a friend, so I’m happy to full circle and pass along the cut to a fellow growmie. :smiley:

And the UK Cheese clone that’s gonna be a monster (:crossed_fingers:) in the yard until October when her time will be due. I have horrible self worth issues… so I rarely ever say these kind of things out lound but I am really proud of this plant. :blush: .

Its leaves are like tapered saw edged teeth of a creature that you’d only catch a glimpse of… because after that glimpse you’re already dead and being eaten.

In the 4x4 the adventures continue.

All of the “movable” plants in here are in their last weeks. With the bulk going to be harvested April 16-21st. The Cherry Festival Red F2 may be done earlier, but i’m still thinking it’ll be next week if not right on the 16th.

Here’s a top view of the “movable” plants side of the 4x4.

Since I’ve already brought up the Cherry Festival Red F2, let’s look at her first. @G-paS

She’s gnarly for sure as she never fully recovered from the reveg before I said “fuck-it” and flipped…

BUT gnarly or not, she’s still throwing down the frost like it’s :christmas_tree: !

Another that was reveged at the same time and rate is the Crockett’s Tangie F2 but instead of getting all gnarly weird it went Roland Emmerich WTF?! and did this instead. @GCBudz

If you don’t know what I mean when I say: it went Roland Emmerich WTF?!… well, it’s decided to go over-the-top with a big budget and a lot of explosions:

I’m now sold on CSI Humbolt’s gear; like WOW. Even with the “herm-that-hermed-so-hard-i-have-never-seen-such-a-herm-herm-like-such-before!” i’m blown away at what these two plants have achieved in all notched of a growers aesthetic. I’ve hit up 1x fat bud each with Tony Green’s Gorilla Glue #4 R.I.L. pollen and look forward to F2ing them in the next year or so.

@corey I wish you were still here to see this bud. :fist:

CSI Humbolt Girl Scout Cookies x Chem91 S1 - Orange Air-pot

The frost… THE FROST!!! :open_mouth: :snowflake:

The second, and much larger CSI Humbolt Girl Scout Cookies x Chem91 S1 - Yellow Air-pot is the show-stopper of the two. It turned colour soooo much earlier that I thought it was a different phenotype and was the 1st of the 2 plants to get knocked up with the GG4.

You touch this thing and it smells like diesel spilled somewhere :rofl: .

The SHRUBBERY is doing rather dandy in the ΩPot and i’m now needed to top it off every 2 days or the water table gets low :rofl: :potable_water: I’ve also had so much on my plate with work and the other plants that i’ve let slide my defoliation and trainings with this one other than tucking the plant as it stretched into the netting.

One day I’m gonna START with this and actually wire down the main cola branches to open things up a bit as see inside what I should remove (if anything). This BOG SourBluTooth F2 is a wonderment to behold and smells like cotton candy when touched :candy: .

One of MANY sugar-pops on a stick this thing’s shooting out. :drooling_face:

Going up stairs let’s start in the 2x2 with the Tony Green Gorilla Glue #4 R.I.L. in fully seeded swing. I’m realizing now that in my swamped schedule I FORGOT TO PULL THIS PLANT AND HOSE DOWN ALL THE POLLEN FROM IT when I culled the male :man_facepalming: . Lights on at 8pm is the culprit as I know I’d need to do this right away and have fans on it to dry it out enough before putting it back into the tent most likely as I’m heading to sleep.

My only worry is the plant NOT making prime seeds now due to it having such a pollenated seed range by this slip-up. I’m happy to make this slip on a personal run versus a group run or i’d be REALLY pissed off at myself.

The plant still looks happy enough so my worries may be over stressed. :crossed_fingers: @Floyd

The frost is unreal and you can see the seeds starting to poking out wanting to live.

The Mothers are all relaxing with the one papa in the corner keeping it real with the cat grass for the feral :cat2: 's. On the shelf are Mendo Breath, Kosher Kush, Pink Cookies, UK Cheese, Gelato 33, and the male Mexican Death Sativa..

@misterbee , the MDS is growing from your kindness from just before you had to take a leave of absence and it’s happy you’re safe and sound and now back with us all here on OG! My hopes is to breed is with another Mexican landrace when the time comes; for now it’s a sexy grapefruit smelling houseplant.

(in case y’all are wondering, the silicone brushes are used to brush down the plants to remove all dead-matter without harming the new growth. I dip em in alcohol after use as a just-in-case)

The Mendo Breath clones in the mini-cloner are doing well. I’m doing a total res-change every week as per suggested by many of y’all already working with these smaller cloners. No nubs yet, but it’s been under 7 days so I’m waiting and not worried :hugs: .

The “New Kids on the Block” each taking it “Step by Step”. (I don’t fucking care about being dated, I own my dating.:rofl: )

Here are the 2x Freedom Dream CBD plants coming up in the blue speedpots and the White CBG in the red speedpot. When they hit day 21 i’m putting them into orange air-pots which will turn the dial for them up to 11. @KanehB , @Bobgrows

Veggie seedings have most all popped already! :open_mouth:

The only things not showing yet are my garden huckleberries and Tomatos (Rodade and Moneymaker). Otherwise the Dinosaur Kale, Sunflowers (all types) are above soil and will end up in 4" nursery pots when ready. After the 4" they’ll go outside in a combination of in ground, fabric pots, and planters.

Here’s the smallest tent in this house party… which feels SO EMPTY by comparison with the other grow spaces in the home :rofl:

No pics of the fish but i’ll take some soon, the Plecos is doing very well and eating the walls. I need to get a new powerfilter for the tank as 1 of the 2 I run finally died… after 12 years so I got my $$$'s worth with it! :+1:

Last image is not often seen, for your Local Friendly Neighbourhood Pigeonman is often in too much kinetic motion to capture on camera!

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN TENDING YOUR PLANT BABIES FOLKS!

Thanks for checking in and all the best to y’all, yours and your grows!

:hugs: :metal: :globe_with_meridians:

Moving the fan outside the tent is a solid idea and should buy you some good headspace.

So you bend them down 14% :joy:?

Hey Mike, I had the exact same thing happen: 1/3 fog dogs popped.
It probably isn’t your fault, because I used the same method a couple weeks later on a bunch of different autofem seeds, and got 100% germ.
Seems like the fog dogs might have some tough cookies in there.

Most of the time, I get really great germination rates. These wanted to thin themselves early. I usually plant way more than I run anyways. I end up culling plants that don’t look like they will be good ones. Or slow pokes get throw out. Boys are gone unless I’m running for seed.

Ha! This is what I do when working with STS as well, also the wet darkroom when doing “interesting” things :rofl: Last time I made soup though it was only with gloves and because I had a lot of bacon fat laying around. (NOT proud about the only gloves part as it wasn’t smart).
