JohnnyPotseed's Test of Twenty20 Seeds 'OGRE BERRY'

Hey bro! I got in on the Ogre Berry test too. Will be popping mine in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to comparing notes. You’ll have a 2 week head start on yours. Good Growin’ Brother!

Blessings…

Ok now, it’s on! Less than 48 hours in the WC and all 5 are popped, and into the small cups they go for the first week of their short lives. Pardon the focus, I’m not in good shape this morning.



right now they’re under DIY LEDs, converted dbl 4’ Florescent to LEDs. In a week, they’ll go into 3gallon pots of my own soil/compost mix. Under another DIY LED setup of Bridgelux Gen 2, 4’ strips (11 of em) with Meanwell Drivers This is a 3’x4’ fixture with a footprint from hell lol (5-7’x7-9’) these are adjustable output, so I run at around 600 PAR in veg and up it to around 900 in flower, at floor level.


We have 2 of the double fixtures, and 4 of the single 3’x4’ fixtures(6 strips/1 driver) and two pretty near empty rooms, so plenty of space for these babies!

Glad to see you cuz, always welcome!
Naw lol getting old is a PITA! Not very mobile. It takes me a full 10 minutes on my walker, with the wife helping me, to travel the 50’ exactly to the barn… sometimes I have to stop and sit down halfway. I usually manage to get out there once a day, and try to get everything done that I can, so, I’m still growing lol

Twenty20Seeds picked 100 growers from all over to run a test. So, I’d imagine there’s a few more OGers with the beans to test. We just haven’t heard from them…yet! lol
All they asked is for anyone they selected, to please post a grow log with pics.
Easy enough to comply there, lol I do that all the time.

This I do now because I’m ‘legit as it git’ :wink: :crazy_face: :smile: :+1:
There was a time, a loooong time, not too long ago. I’d post a pic and then delete it out of paranoia! :rofl: :scream: That was in the early 2000s then I went ‘dark’ for over a decade until coming back home to OG! Which happened after moving back here to OK and getting a commercial license to grow for sale…

@JohnnyPotseed I understand buddy, I’m glad you’re still able to get out there even if it’s a major bitch to do so!
LZ had to take over our grow rooms since they’re in the basement and I’m stuck in this chair, so hang in there as long as you can my friend!

It’s pretty much the same here cuz. the wife feeds and waters, shifts plants & lights, sprays pest maintenance, etc You’ve got a winner in the Lady Z lol same as me, I gotta admit. There’d be no grow if not for the wife! I manage to get out there to ‘fine tune’ or direct traffic, or sit in a chair while she brings me plants to harvest/trim.
You do the same cuz, hang in there for as long as you can!
I WILL be more mobile, soon as I get a mobility scooter! lol

Damn my brother! That is a fine set up you have there in OK. The plants are as fine as the grow space. I’m completely intimidated to grow these Autos next to yours. I’ll be growing them in a 2X4 tent in my oldest boy’s bedroom! It’s 105 degrees outside so the Shitkicker Shed is down. I have 3 plants that are still living out there somehow! I’ll be popping 6 of the Ogre Berrys this weekend. Let’s turn on the juice and cut the damn thing loose!

Blessings…

HECK YEAH!!! When I went back down to Alabama, I think I was “Pork Skin’ed OUT!!” I even mailed me a B-I-G Box of 'em back to Maine, the good ones. You “sho 'nuff” know how to treat a Guest, My Man. SUPER CONGRATS to you and MS OLESKOOL…you’re a lucky dude, I tell ya. It makes “chasing that Sunset” more enjoyable when you have a DEDICATED person by your side.
