I try to be the best Christian I can be . It’s very tough when your a throwd off sinner. Chasing women and ignoring pot laws are my issues with the Big guy upstairs. So I’m gonna let JESUS take care of his children the way he sees fit. I’m very blessed, oh yeah times are very tough here but I have 8 flavors, 2 more on the way, and on several seed run lists. Postage is all I’ve paid on most. I’ve been blessed with more seeds than what has been stolen. I haven’t stolen the first thing since, I was a punk kid shoplifting.i haven’t been a bum. Twice I got out of jail with nothing but my land and the clothes on my back. In the past yr and half. I’ve not gone hungry r been without power. Every thing that I need to survive has been giving to me, without asking, on time. I had a job first 3 months, not a good one but good enough to buy some clothes and tools and compost. God takes care of me, I get what I need when I need it. Only what I need, not what I want.
Both people who caused this I know-#1 my younger brother. # 2 a guy I was working part time for. 10 r 15 yrs ago I would of killed them. But the Good Lord won’t let me now. So I just keep on kicking rocks. That’s forwards not backwards. It was all giving to me by the Good Lord and he’ll give it back if he wants to. Nothing I can do about it. Doors have been shut and new ones have been opened, and I’m not going to open the prison door myself at my age.
Enough of that!
The rice is part of K.N.F… It takes the place of perlite, then at end of grow it has composted and starts feeding plant. I guess I should of used wild brown rice instead of enriched white rice.
I had bird problems 2 yrs ago with that grow. Birds would eat the seedlings even at 2-3"s tall. Kinda forgot and take everything outside in morning to get sunshine. Bird ate # 16 today. Still learning everyday.
So I’ve been lucky with bagseed and # 14 which is in the ground outside too. Going to keep #s17 and 18 inside Untill way bigger. I’m germinating a cple blue Oaxacan X blueberry and I guess they’ll stay inside Untill they outgrow birdfood status. I plan on letting them grow outdoors thru the summer. The Santa Maria I’ll stop taking outside when they get to big to keep carrying in and out.
I’ve read quite a bit on Santa Maria but I didn’t know about the crosses made from her. Good to know. But I was reading about Columbian weed and they got one that’s called Santa mantra or manta. Colombian gold. As the bird flys and poops eatened seeds , Brazil and Colombia aren’t that far apart. It got me wondering if there’s any relation in the strains
I pull the shells off if they need help after they are about an inch tall. If you have fingernails, try to get both in there like prying open a clam. Small tweezers work too. Close them and slide in the crack, then let them open and they pop the shell off.
Are you talking about those thingys at the nodes?lol. I don’t remember what they are called, but sometimes a plants he/ she parts are hidden behind them for a few days or a week before many people even look for the sex of the plant. After 10th set of leaves is forming ( the clump of leaves at the top of the plant counts as two or three sets depending on what’s visible) count down 3 or 4 sets of leaves and start looking behind those " thingys" for parts. The 7th set up from the bottom usually shows sex first. It looks about the right age now. Id say as soon as the next set forms, start looking at the node below where you topped the plant, and at that node as well. Plant is starting to stretch now. Big difference from the pic on 2= 29! Looking good!
Don’t quote me on this being 1/2 of the white widow genes, but I’m pretty sure this is the one. No relation to Santa Marta Colombian Gold I wouldn’t think. The flowering time is much much longer on the colombians. I will ask my Brazilian friends to look it up. Their phones find way more on Brazil because their always looking at Brazilian things. I punched in that Cabeca de negro landrace on my phone, and only one small thing came up. My friend punched in the same thing, and I had pages of information. I’ll ask him when i see him next. I would love to learn more about it too.( I guess it could have had a longer flowering time originally… )
What is knf? I have read on how great rice is for microlife. Basmati rice usually. I want to start using it in my mixes. I wish I had more time to respond to yr very long post earlier. You have a very good outlook on life. What doesn’t kill us definitely makes us stronger. Sometimes it sure would be nice to know the grand plan, so we could see why all these things happen to us. I oftentimes look back at my life disasters, and realize exactly why they did happen, and I can see how they made me a better person. It is said that God doesn’t dish out anymore than you can handle. Apparently he/ she / it thinks quite highly of you LOL!!!
K.N.F. IMO from what I’ve read, and I haven’t read everything and I’m not knocking down other organics, is the way. Sounds to me like organics on the highest level. So far my lab, fpj. And additives cost pennies/ gal. Of top shelf nutrients. I think pic shows it works. And I’m a newb to knf. Just wait till I master it. I’ve got a long way to go for that, but that’s where I’m heading.
It’s been so long ago that I’ve done shrooms… I knew a cow field right off 45 just outside the woodlands back in the Good 'ol 80’s. EVERYTIME we hopped the fence, we would run gathering as many shrooms as we could before farmer Jones would come out and air rocksalt outta 12 gauge at us. Never got hit, he got rid of cows and field before we quit raiding. Years of pure adreniling harvesting. Uuuuuuu wee!
I guess while I’m here, I pulled the shells off the seedlings. Two pretty much shed them.they were still hanging on tampering one of seed leafs. The other one, #17 looked like it wasn’t going to make it. #s 16 and 18 were growing. Already 2"s tall. 17 still barely above ground level. When I tried to remove the shell I knocked it over. I just barely touched it. Root was only 3/16" long . it wasn’t going to make it and I’ve done lost WAY too many. So I replanted after removing shell which was locked on it. Barely cracked enough for root to shine. Going to give it a cple extra days 24 than its brothers?
It is a girl! Nice. I thought so. Right where you topped it. Rt side. Little blurry but I see a pistol i think😉!!! I have a feeling about this one…we shall see. ill have to look into knf sometime. I’m guessing fermentation is a part of it? I love super organics. Yr right. Waaaaay cheaper. My ferts cost me less than they used to by 10 times at least. I can’t wait to see how these do. The learning curve can be a bit steep but all connisuer(sp?) grade weed will be grown this way ( organic) in the future in my opinion. And the planet needs us to learn asap. Weed is NOT the green crop it could be. Every plant should improve, not harm, the world we live in. Good for you for making the switch. My goal is to grow with what fertilizer i can find around the house. I’ve a long way to go, but it sure is fun learning!!!
What I read here is one big bull story. That’s not a Santa Maria at all !
If that’s a Santa Maria then I’m the Christmas man. Within this post you may see how the Santa Maria’s are looking.
And “Old Dutch Genetics” did never become seed of them.
The F8 are not that long with me.
Huge colas on those. Very nice. I know nothing about plank at all besides what I’ve read here. What leads you to believe this is not it? The wide leaves in veg?
He was referring to the picture that was posted of “Old World Organics - Santa Maria Planck.”
When he first joined the site he did a giveaway of ten packs to ten people who answered his series of questions. I think there was only nine of us who entered the contest, and of those nine of us @StevieG was the only one who did anything constructive with the seeds he received. The rest of us 9 are clearly terrible preservationists.
Is that big plant that survived the first round a female ? Looks like it but pics have been just a little too far away to tell 100%. Glad to see another one pop up!
They look like hairs I me, but I really didn’t look at the plants that close back when I used to grow because I already knew they were female. I always had 5,6,7,8 week plants to admire. I won’t be able to tell for a cple more weeks probably.
I have plenty of time to do what I have to do since it’s not going to be ready for April shipping.
What ever sex it turns out to be, it will be cloned. I’ll probably do that in a few days, next weekend at the latest.and pop 2 more beans.
So for #9, #14, #16, and #18 are going to be ok.
