Meesh going by looks only your Blue Dream has the Blue Berry look ? Totally different than what I’m growing but my plants came from the pot shop
Oh yeah, you have the authentic clone only version. They lean very blueberry from seed. This is the 2nd seed I grew that did this. I have grown some auto versions that were closer to the clone only like you have.
Don’t feel lonely, that about sums up my year as well. I’m just not the same as before. Plus I’ve been so busy keeping the yard mowed and weed eated (heh), it’s about all I have in me. I never put any plants in the ground, but thanks to mother nature, I do have two volunteers to pick my spirits up. One is 7 feet now and still vegging. I gave it all bloom ferts and foundation stuff hoping to kick it into flower. It’s big and wide, too. I really never did anything to it until it was about 5-6 feet. I wanted to see how they do with Litfa alone. Fine, obviously.
My other volunteer I was excited about by my back door was male. I cut it in half to watch how it looks with some reveg… I did collect some pollenbut not sure if I’ll use it.
I’ve been a little blah all summer. I’ve hardly taken the kayak out all summer to fish. I did really enjoy the last few times I was out so I need to go back. Mowing grass again, today, and then repot some clones. I finally have the Orange Goji f2 from @Howard.Crane. I wish I had been able to get some of the f1s but I missed out. That’s got me a little stoked. Plus, flowering has started on the other plants. Now it’s time to keep an eye out for those dreaded white moths that come every September. I’ve had all sorts of bugs hit the plants and they all come and go. I still haven’t sprayed. Yesterday I fed them all and pulled dead leaves from my lack of watering for a couple of days, and no sign of any bugs at all anymore.
Maybe next year we’ll be back to our normal selves. I hope so. Maybe I’ll be back to normal when I get that Orange Goji and Sam’s Purple Poison Cookies cut and dried. It’ll sure put a smile on my face.
Let’s enjoy the last of summer while we can… (meesh has summer all year long, so she may not count)! I think we’ll all be a little better when we begin to see our plants start flowering. Fuck a bunch of Covid, eh?! peace
Thanks for getting back meesh. As long as it don’t taste bad and the high is there… that’s quality in my book
A friend just introduced my wife to Tajin spice. Now she puts it on fruit, and everything else that’s edible!
@GMan Yep. It’s hard to get myself to do anything but water and transplant. Every once in awhile, I get this burst of juju and go to town on something. Aside from the cannabis, all my planters are overgrown and quite frankly out of control. I look at them and just feel overwhelmed. One at a time. I cleared the easiest two first and have been really maintaining them as far as weeds and such. I know which I want to tackle next, but I’ve got to start. I’m not sure what’s worse feeling overwhelmed by them or simply looking at them. However, every time I hit a breaking point and want to start tackling them, the summer heat pushes me back. Its just too hot for me out there in the dead of summer. I can’t even spray with vinegar as grass is intermingled in all of the plants and flowers and I’d end up killing them all instead of just the bermuda grass.
@corey I’m pretty sure Blue Dream was the number one strain on the west coast for a good 4 years straight and for good reason. So, far it has been hands down the best strain for my depression, anxiety as well as social anxiety for at least a decade now. Not only is it medicinal, but it is always the strain I bring with me when Im passing around joints at a party or even a small gathering as it makes everyone feel at ease but also very social. It kicks up the party in a good way, so far no one I’ve ever shared it with has gotten paranoia. It can be fairly racy when first cured off the top for about 15 or 20 mins though. The raciness like most sativas tones down the longer it cures or stays in the jar. If the high wasn’t as magical as it is, I would never bother growing it as in general I like really loud and stinky smells and taste in my bud. Its kinda like White Widow in the sense that you only smoke it for the effects imo as WW is just as subdued as the BD in flavor. I always call WW the Water of bud. lol Super refreshing, but doesn’t taste like anything. lol
@firehead I truly chuckled and said “YES!” out loud. Tajin is the absolute bomb!! Your wife clearly has great taste. I think it’s only been 3 weeks since I first tried it and I put that shit on absolutely everything now!
Been thinking a lot… I mentioned @Howard.Crane the other day and that I miss him and wish he were here to see My garlic grow. Well, I also miss @Esrgood4u, I never got to tell him how much my girl who grows in the high desert loves his Blue Dream x Cookies Kush. She says it’s amazing for her pain. She has a lot of joint and bone problems from cancer drugs. She beat the cancer, but the cancer treatment effects she beats with cannabis. She loved it last year when she grew it and is growing it this year again. She loves it and his strain really helps. I really want him to know that. Maybe he has posts set to go to his email and can read this anyway and smile from his inbox. Hope he is doing well. I miss him and @Ghandisflipflop and their crazy banter. They both just cracked me up!
There’s been a lot of great people pass through OG in the last couple years . Growhard I never got thank for the grape pie one of my favourite smokes I’ve had in years.
Wow! Thanks for such a detailed description meesh! Sounds right up my alley… I take your word for it with full confidence. I assume we are growing the same seed?
you make me want to crack these ones
Purple Dream (Blue Dream X Ken’s GDP male) (GDP)
also Cookies Kush was one of the strains that I most enjoyed before I started making beanz
new cross Purple Dream x Cookies Kush
Just woke up and opened the door to this wet stuff falling from the sky! What kinda magic is this? Not enough to saturate the ground or make it through the trees to the shade plants, but watered everything else pretty good and cleanse the earth a bit. Wonderful!
@corey yes sir, we are growing the same seeds
@SamwellBB that cross sounds amazing! The gdp would add some flavor and the kush would add some pain killer. Could be a winner
I gave all the girls a nice nutrient drench yesterday. They loved it. They are all perky and super frosty this morning.
Now, I can’t see or hear for shit but, my sense of smell is on point. PWC smells absolutely amazing! I’ve been smoking GDP and cheese all year and the 2 together I can already tell are gonna be fire. So, I can smell the dark gdp fruit right off the top then the cheese comes in on the bottom with it’s skunk feet like funk and another overripe dark fruit at the very end. Cheese has a very complex smell as it is, the GDP smell off the top adds a whole nother layer to the cheese. They are the perfect blend together. The same dark fruit separated by the cheese funk. I’m growing more excited waiting for the smoke by the day. This bud is gonna be dank
On another note, the Kashmir buds are gonna be huge!
Wished I could say that about mine I’m wondering why there week 6 and just starting to bud when everything else is looking so much better . Maybe they took that long to pre flower where everyone else was already pre flowered when I flipped the lights ?
Hmm… Is this on the slightly larger leafed plant or the smaller leafed? Everyone else is saying the same thing, some are barely flowering and mine started about a week or so after my super early cheese. Even if the strain goes long mine will be done at average time here. My cheese plant is gonna be done in only maybe 30 days or less. Its really a strange year. Of all my plants, the Sour Dubb just barely started, it’s the slow poke of the bunch.
I do have a not so secret secret for really big buds though. I use Mammoth P from birth.
Skinny larger leaf sativa both plants almost identical, missed getting a small leaf plant.
I thought you had 2 different phenos? Did you cull some?
Sorry the male I’ve got is the small leaf wasn’t counting him
Yours have the pretty red stems too right?
Yes I’ll grab a couple close ups tonight when I’m out watering and some same age other strains to compare. I just hope I didn’t commit to a 16 week strain lol
Either that there gonna have to get along with a whole new group pretty quick .
