Blueberry Cough finally out of her misery in the hot super soil. She finished a week early i think do too the hot soil and a small aphid problem.
In the last pic she is the back right one.
Sour Diesel x Snow Lotus
18 days into flower
2 seeds, 1 girl, male culled
3 gallon pots recycled soil and the bottom quarter super soil.
Feeding with Microbial Mass and Hydrolyzed fish fertilizer. not sure why I stopped using Epsom salts but all of a sudden now I have cal mag deficiency so going to start using Epsom salts in water again will try teaspoon per gallon first. Also sprinkled a little powdered lime on top. Hoping that will be s fast fix
Getting big.
Sour Strawberry
4 days into flower no sex yet.
2.5 gal air pots recycled soil with the bottom quarter super soil feeding with microbial Mass and hydrolyzed fish fertilizer. not sure why I stopped using Epsom salts but all of a sudden now I have cal mag deficiency so going to start using Epsom salts in water again will try teaspoon per gallon first. Also sprinkled a little powdered lime on top.
OGer #2
Flowering for 4 days
1 gal plastic growbag
OGer #1
Flowering for 18 days
UBC Chemo
8 days into flower and I think she’s a girl of 3 seeds 1 male 1 female and 1 still in veg
Some pure Blueberry from bagseed (prolly hermied)
3 gal fabric pot.
JOTI Crimson Crystal
1 day flowering no sex yet
3 gal fabric pot.
Aside from a little cal mag def on all of them I think we are off to another good start, time will see but i think the soil will just get better with time.
Just chopped 2 1gal White Widows,
A 2.5 gal Power Punch and a 2.5 gal Slurricane.
Pretty happy with the outcome of those. They along with my Super Critical CBD are clones i bought and really like so hope to keep them for some time. Now gonna learn some new strains… Looking forward to the next year of growing.
Veg room looking more manageable to lazy to label the pic but there is a White Widow in there, a SCCBD, Power Punch, Slurricane, Ubcchemo, Sour Strawberry, Blueberry Cough, and an OGer I think.
Peace Love and be well!
So I’ve never been much on the stem rub thingy, never really found anything outstanding…
Until now this little OGer in veg, when I bumped into her (I’m going to call her a her until she proves me wrong LOL) stunk up the whole room. So i have her a little stem rub and holy shite. DireStraits song Heavy Fuel was the first thing that comes to mind.
So I took a cutting and and soon as she has roots this one is going into flower…
I am so excited i actually may have found a real keeper!
Stink is really important! mmmm love a heady smell when you have to grab the plant to put it back upright in veg. The stink will evolve over time, I have one that starts out like toilet bowl cleaner then ripens up into a nice spicy stink!
This one came from @Mongobongo she is a Sour Diesel x Snow Lotus 28 days into flower also doing well. A little cal/mag deficiency but i just top dressed with fresh home made ewc and started using epsom salt at 1 Tbs/gallon of tap water
This is the first time I’ve ever used my own earthworm castings to top with and I couldn’t help but get quite a few worms in all of my plants now so I can’t help but think this will just benefit the soil. much to my surprise this morning when I went in and checked it out there wasn’t one rogue worm yay.
Even the clones I bought and are super good don’t have a very smelly stem rub like this one.
Two Sour Strawberry 2 weeks into flower and almost identical can’t tell them apart. 2.5 gallon airpots in supersoil. Water and hydrolyzed fish fertilizer, epsom salt, every second week and water, epsom salt, and microbial mass every other week.
And a little bagseed
Blueberry!
I’ll have to keep my eye on this one make sure she doesn’t hermie me on me I’ve got my shit together a lot better than I did the last time I grew her so we’ll see if it was her or me this time.
Ps sorry bout the slippers
Everything is looking really nice man.
Loving this OGer
About three weeks to go I think never grown it before.
This is #1 of 3, 3 is the stinky one (haven’t flowered yet hopefully a girl)
1gal bag Subs supersoil recipe (25%/75% sunshine#4) and some hydrolyzed fish fertilizer and some microbial mass alternating every 3rd watering with plain water and epsom salt every watering.
Not much smell but rock hard nugs and trichs galore, check out those sugar leafs
Heres #2
same shit different pile
2 weeks later
This is Blueberry Cough from JOTI and for the first time in a year growing it i can smell berries
grown in supersoil it seemed to suffer, smoking it you can’t tell, maybe to much ss in the mix but
a 6 week cure and it’s awesome.
A word on curing. I struggled for a long time with this. I was using the freezer ( sublimation) but it was always harsh, tasted ok but harsh. I can’t find it now but i read this post from @ifish thank you!
"ifish
Here’s how I do it
we harvest just befor lights on , this means that trichs are fully loaded with goodness
and the light has not degraded them yet , trichs are the plants sunscreen , at night the plant replenishes the goodness in them for the following day
The branches go hang in dark place or in paper bags , temp 17-21 c , 17 being best ( slowest dry time ) never dropping to 15 or lower , but with air circulating but not directly on the buds
after say 3-7 days depending on drying environment the outer surface of the buds will feel dryish but when you bend the branch it will just kink , no snapping yet
then they go into sealed plastic bags or jars , the contents of the bag over 1-2days will equalate moisture and the outside of the bud will feel wet again , then back to drying again in paper bags or hanging in dark
when outside of bud feels dry we bend the branch in a different place , if it kinks we go through the stages again etc
if we bend the branch , the top full half snaps but bottom half kinks ( like child’s green stick fracture ) this indicates that the buds are just at or slightly below 70 %rh , so it is safe to put in jars or bags as no mold will happen , we trim buds of branch , a humidity reader in the jar makes life easier , with this more detailed drying we are drawing the mousture from the center of the bud while also not drying the outer of the bud too quickly or over drying it : )
now in jars or sealed plastic bag peminatly , we open lids or open bag once a day for a minute or two , till the day we are finally happy ( steady 62%rh reading in small humidity reader in jar ) or by general feel /full snap , keep an eye on the humidity reader in the jar if you have one , as it may rise over night slowly so more burping required , needs to be steady 62 for storage
from chopping the earliest you can have a quick sample puff is usually10-14 days or 2 weeks but only at 3weeks will it start to get really potent and really nice tasting
if at any stage of this process you drop to below15c the cure slows down and if lower than 12c it stops and cannot be restarted
if you dry too quick you will not give the chlorophyll a chance to escape from bud and it will get locked into bud and bud tastes like hay
if contents of jar or bag goes at or below 55%rh the cure stops and cannot be restarted "
This works.
I don’t harvest in the dark cause i harvest on a whim and instead of jars i have been vacuum sealing but leaving a little air space like a jar would have. FINALLY i have that nice smell back all the plants smell and taste different and no harshness at all…smoooth.
