SAN checking in @ OG

@Papalag

the very dark green looks almost too deep is this normal for this strain ?
Normally when I see this color I think of nitrogen over load .

my soil is strong and i almost never amend on the go.
so, the dark green is normal on most plants in my grows
when in this stage many show that rubbery, dark green
and develop from there.

[funkyfunk]

What soil is that? I realize now you do now explain much what’s your growing style for an eskobar afficionado I’ve noticed too your plants were always on the dark side of the leaves, a bit like JAWS

[santero]

i re-use my soil and re-beef it with neemcake,
alfalfa powder, guano, wormshit and other stuff.

i use hubey or guanokalong or biobizz pre-mix sometimes too.
plagron had one too, but i never tried that yet … it works great,
but is a bit expensive. it’s better to just buy the single ingredients
and make your own nute-mix.

neem takes care of buggers and feeds some NPK.
triacontanol is provided by alfafla powder in the soil.
a “chito”-boost comes from crushed insect shells
the guano provides extra P when needed ect.

most of the time it comes out a tiny bit too “hot”, but that’s
okay since i don’t like to amend too much while they stand
in flower

it all fits to each other, but it took a little while to find the right individual mix.
everyone need to do that themselves, tho … becuase different starting soils
give room for variation in the results. so i can’t just say “take two parts of this
and mix it with three part of this” or so … sorry you need to experiment
(or just use one of the mentioned ready to use products, and pay a bit more.)

i am NOT a master grower, btw (and dunno why people assume that )
because sometimes i really FUCK up my plants extra-spectacular too, lol.

@Johnnyrockets
oi, nice !! those are the second version of SFV/Fune.
those were made with the actual SFV clone only

the first version i made before that, was made with the (much better)
SFV OG Bx3 lady, that i found in seeds that chaco send my way, but
i lost that specific pheno, so i used the SFV clone only as substitute,
which resulted in a bit different results. i made those two versions al-
most at the same time, lol.

Valley of Death v1 = SFV Bx3 X Sanfune (F2-male)
Valley of Death v2 (aka. “Fatal Strike”) = SFV clone x SF-F2 male (same dude)

the clone only was a bit finicky to grow for me … so, i kept the BX3pheno.
she rooted faster, had the same smell/taste/effects, but a bit better yield
with the same flotime … same reason why i kept ghost og s1 and not the
clone only too. those clones are too old, imo, very weak to root and finicky
to grow. as long as i find same results or better in the s1 → i go with that.
i noticed that it makes for better seeds in the result, stronger/healthier ect.

the inheritance is important for me to make seeds
not the expression (which does not necessarily inherit).

anyhoo, i’m growing out the “fatal strike” right now.
let’s compare those to your “valley of death”, bro
i have 3 phenos going into flower in the coming week.

[funkyfunk]

Not throwing names like “master grower” at you don’t worry! I believe every growers even the most experienced do mistakes sometimes anyway.

Was just wondering if you were organic or chemicals or what.

Sure there can’t be one recipe, sounds like you have a good take on how to reamend a soil for your needs still.

[Zanzibar]

San… Fatal Strike! Valley of Death! Rad crosses, and truly amazing names!

[santero]

@Johnnyrockets
i checked my notes and mate … i did send you the v2 too, ha.
= SFV Bx3 Pheno #4 x Sanfune (Fast Fune F2-red berry candy male)

this one turned out way better than the other one despite s1 and such.

[Johnnyrockets]

@Santero, we will compare pics & notes.

[Hempyfan]

Fun times, glad all is still going!

[santero]

@hoss8455

I need some black eyed larry!

pm send

[m0sirys]

oh the black eyed lary is still around?

[santero]

yeah …
pm send (lol)
now i am out, tho.

[saxo]

verdammt!

[PineTarBastard]

@santero just wanted to thank you again for sharing the Meridian Haze with me. I grew a lot of legendary strong plants this past summer and she was definitely one of the strongest, most enjoyable highs of the lot. I culled a couple of MH males early on, and am kicking myself for doing so. I suspect my jar of MH will empty the quickest. Thanks again.

[santero]

i noticed the c5bx2 (aka. meridian haze) making a big impact …
gonna make sure that i have some more next year for all of you.

the pure meridian haze should never be sold, it’s the c5 as a gift
for the community. meridian 2.0 (= Bx3) will also show soon

__

until then i can only recommend to check out my friend prisma’s
gear. his work with my humble creations is really impressive so far.

f.e. his “Blue Glue Haze” = Lavender/True Blueberry X C5 Haze Bx2-male

[Papalag]

Impressive

[santero]

it’s his own picture, i just copy it from the interwebs
he also made a sowah/meridian and is working a bx of
karma’s zizinana … he is quite the busy fella *woot *

[HolyAngel]

Speaking of Meridian Haze, @Swe-can was awesome enough to send me a 5 pack a year or two ago. I just soaked them a few days ago and… (sorry for the color)

here we are, 5 comin up(unlabeled)
It’s the 3 along the right wall and two going left-to-right through the middle ^^
I didn’t even store these correctly
They accidentally sat NEXT to my seed fridge for like a year+. Still damn good vigor I’d say! I didn’t have to de-shell anything at all. He sent me 5 Choco trip too but only one of those have popped a tail so far in the same time frame
Should be exciting soon

[santero]

ooh, very nice @HolyAngel i just flipped some meridian over here.
along with the wifi x chocolate thai, sfv x fune, sssdh ojd x lemon larry ect

[Wizdom]

@santero

c5bx2 (aka. meridian haze)

Any of this still around? Can’t believe I didn’t have this thread on watch already. Will be following along. All the best mate
