OGs Secret Lab

@G-paS
I would like to take credit but the credit is owed to the camera and seedling! :laughing: It took about a year to get the phone to work for me as far as picture quality, but it does take good photos once figured out! :green_heart:

TGIF!
So I took the gloves off and gave the Black Tunas some roughing up! I don’t like to crack seeds by hand but one must do what one must I suppose. I wanted to help the little ones along so I snipped a piece of aloe and encased the newly cracked seed in aloe goop. Then placed in a moist paper towel. I left this to sit between two plates on my seedling mat to keep warm. Less than 24 hours later I had tails.

As usual, I soaked my plugs in filtered water/Dynomyco. Sprinkling in a small amount of Dynomyco in the hole and on top of seed before covering. Once covered I put a big goop of aloe on top of the plugs and watered in with filtered water/aloe before placing in containment.

I’ll keep you all posted on the outcome. :crossed_fingers:

Enjoy your weekend everyone! Thanks again for stopping in! :pray::green_heart:

Looks like we have lift off of one Black Tuna this morning! Hard to see but it’s making its way! Fingers crossed on #2! I was afraid of damaging the root tip so it was not buried as far down as I would like, the root tip was facing down. I did not want to disturb it once placed in the plug so I gently filled it in and watered expecting helmet head…


Luckily enough I was gifted a few other Black Tuna by a spectacular individual! :pray::green_heart: @Oldtimerunderground gifted me a pack a couple years back after I found these two from a dispensary purchase. Thank you again, I will create more and share! :heart:

Thanks @Til_Valhalla it is a work in progress! Things got crazy for a couple years but I think everyone can relate in some form or fashion. Stick around, I love feedback and dialogue. I have a few goodies planned for this year! :pray::green_heart:

Hola! Back again.

Cyber Crystal OP run

I don’t want to litter this with the updates so I will just pick and choose one or two every so often to show.

London Pound Cake - cover crop added

Black Tuna - I only had luck with one of the Black Tunas from the dispensary, so I will start a few more shortly to get a nice batch. :crossed_fingers: Cover crop is starting to come in! 🫶

Also starting 20 gallons of soil to transplant the CC into.

I will be starting a new batch of CT this weekend and will give updates as to what I do. Till then, enjoy! :pray::green_heart:

Cool attic grow!!

Question…it looks like you are in the cold zone of your roof and if I’m not mistaken has gable vents and not a ridge vent?

I see what you are trying to do but without a proper upper ridge vent I see this space could hold a bunch of moisture…not venting properly and potentially causing a mold issue.

Just lookin out my friend! :slight_smile:

@Alaskagrown Hey bud it’s been a while! The space is yet to be finished. Covid managed to switch things up for me so the current space I’m using is different. The roof was redone and switched to a ridge vent. You are right about moisture, but the exhaust will go out one side of the gable after being scrubbed. The other will be for intake. I started this project not expecting any hiccups but that’s how life goes! I have everything to finish the space but don’t want to draw any attention for security reasons until I’m overly confident.

I also did not want to make a billion threads so I thought I should use this thread as my space so to speak. One place to find my work I guess sounds more manageable.

Good to hear from you, I hope all is well! Glad to see you back!

Yeah took over a year off from growing/breeding…after 30+ years just got burnt out. Spread myself too thin and everything suffered from it.

Soon as my Inguinal Hernia surgery heals up I’m hitting the ground running. :slight_smile:

Shishkaberry seeds in my near future for all of OG to enjoy! :wink:

It does get exhausting after a while of running. A nice break is necessary. All in moderation right!?

I have no doubt you will! Best wishes on the healing process, don’t rush it. :pray:

Who could say no to that! I would love to allocate some space!

Welp, I got bored…:green_heart::seedling:

Never ran anything from them so I decided to throw some flavors in the mix. :pray:

Happy Friday :grin:

Most all germinated. I ran out of pucks so I decided to throw them in some Rapid Rooters I had. PHd water to 6, soaked for 20 minutes. Squeezed air bubbles out while submerged after soaking. Once ready to use I squeezed out roughly half of the water, sprinkled some Dynomyco in each hole and planted. Few drops of soak water added to each hole for insurance. :seedling:

I tracked down my old worm bin so hopefully I’ll have that back up and running! I may get crazy and do some testings to better the final product. :thinking:🤷

What a week! Busy body kind of season it is!

I was fortunate enough to get some things cleaned up and the new tent set up. The newer AC infinity tents are definitely built better! Looks like the zipper was reinforced, floor mat is a white rather than mylar material. The inside storage pouch was relocated to the outside, two new 4in sealable holes, controller mount is now made of metal and the peep window looks better designed. A+ guys, well done! :green_heart:

Here is a picture of the new tent along with the little ones moved over.

Here is a better view of everyone 🫶

Aaand here is the black tuna making a nice recovery finally!

@Rhino_buddy Still awaiting these bangers to root! :pray::green_heart::metal:

Here are the Cyber Crystals currently set for open pollination!

I would like to start doing tissue culture here shortly so hopefully I can get everything purchased soon. Fingers crossed! Happy Sunday all, have a great week ahead! :pray::green_heart:

Good day family! Here’s a little update on a few things.

Pacific Pie

Banana Breeze
Epsom salt foliar spray this weekend at 1.5g/gal.

Cyber Crystals
Just repotted into 5gal fabric pots they should liven up shortly!

Still waiting to see roots on the cuttings. I have a few things coming in this week for the tent I will update mid week sometime. :pray::green_heart:

Happy belated 420 everyone! Just stopping in to drop an update!

All were hit with an epsom foliar and then watered in with filtered water. They do seem a bit dark green so I will likely adjust the flowering mix to account for it. These are all Mother’s to clone from. This is before the hair cut.

After the hair cut

Cyber Crystals taking a liking to their new home.

I have just purchased several 9in Blumat carrots and drip rings, and will build my own reservoir to keep everyone happy. Hand watering is becoming a long task so mitigating will be awesome.

Have a great week ahead all! :green_heart::pray:

3 Ladies and 1 Gent for a bananza of beans! 🫶

Clones taken and added to the bubbler, and all 3 ladies trained for a better even canopy.


Aaaand finally I made a fresh batch of compost tea! 24hours in.
1cup of Malibu Compost
1cup of CWC castings
2 cups of Oly Mountain
Roughly a 1/4 cup of kelp
Splash of fish hydrolysate
Sprinkle of humic acid
Splash of Blackstrap

More to come this weekend. Hopefully I can update the other tent with the new supplies. Still awaiting the blumat system… TBC! :green_heart:
