Smokenhike Grows Again

And now back to growing after a busy holiday season. I was away for a bit but the plants did OK with the lights dimmed way down- the pic is after a week or so of no watering. They’re looking much better on 1/2 tsp of Jacks AP per gal and a shot of calmag last week. It’s day 50V, I chopped the fussy ones to get down to a reasonable number and topped the lanky ones. Going to pot up and flip this week I think.

7F. I felt like switching up ferts again so I top dressed 1/3 cup (5 and a bit tbs?) Gaia Green All Purpose in the 3 gal pots then watered it in with 1/4tps Jack’s Blossom Booster and 1ml/gal calmag. They’re perking up.

They’re under the 300w 3x3 light in the 4x4.

Mine is fast to flip too, looks a week ahead to me. I want to grab a clone to run outdoors in case it turns out to be a quick finisher too.

Tonight I am enjoying some cookies made with @chronix (Strawberry Nuggets x Creme De La Chem) x (Gambian x Blueberry). I made them by weighing enough infused coconut oil to hit the potency I think I want, then adding the rest 75% or more as plain butter and melting them together. Tastes weedish but not too strong.

My math puts them at 35mg each if the flower was 15% but I have no idea what it actually was. I had a good time anyway.

Looks pretty strawberry to me.

Its hard to say from our combined small test pool (lol) but i feel like yours leans more to the chocolope side than the one i have going. We’ll have to see how the flowers develope. Mine look fairly large but it seems pretty sparse up close. No lack of resin though! It looks really good actually.

Whoops I forgot to update, lots on my mind lately.

@chronix it made some damn good cookies! I’m having one now.

What’d you think of that one ? My feed has been weird and I’m only running 18 w/sqft so that might cause some variance too.

The others caught up by now anyway. 28F due for a top dress. Mostly been ignoring them, just popping in to water with some yucca every 4-5 days or so.

I left the tent open now it absolutely reeks in here, something in there is real stanky.

Thanks for having a look, hope everyone is doing well.

She looks completely different than mine :man_shrugging: We’ll have to watch her develope i guess. Here is mine getting close to the end. I can not at all describe the smell, its unlike anything ive ever come across. Its very heavy on a vegetable smell but theres so much more complexity i cant even begin to pick apart

That looks like it’s going to be a good time I think.

42F. Went a bit too late and too strong on the top dress but they’re doing alright.

Crusty Toad with nice colours and faster than expected.

Rishi Kush slower than expected.

Getting the itch to chuck again.

Hope everyone has a nice Family Day long weekend.

Well what do we have here ? Some scraggly holdouts in the late 60s of flower.

Orange Grove x Bubblegum Bx (left)
(Golden Tiger x A5) x Chocolope F2 (right) smells very orangey

And new stuff.

The plan is to do a repro on Peak Seeds BC Sweet Skunk. Before PSBC shut down I got email permission to do it from the breeder, but since then they’ve started selling packs under a new brand on the legal market in BC. Can’t get them in Ontario. Probably can’t go for an official seed run on this one anyway.

Going to chuck that on:

BOG LSD F2 (my F2)
Cali O F3 (my F3 of Foreigner F2)
Peanut Butter Breath F2 (Doc Wylder)

PBB seemed like it’d be an interesting mix of old & new school. Took a long time to make the selections, this is what spoke to me when I threw the seeds on the table.

Thanks for stopping by !

I find the floor to be more conducive to decision making.

Sounds like some nice selections and could make for some cool crosses.

Mmm… Floor beans…

The first Crunchy Frog isn’t looking too shabby. Was easy to trim with just the brush and has a nice kick to it.

I like how it turned out topped, only kept the good stuff.

Reference for future smokenhike:

4 gals backyard compost
11 gals recycled gaia amended promix
14 gals fresh promix
3 cups gaia all purpose
sprinkling of miracle gro (aka the devil) shake n feed all purpose , gypsum, dolomite lime

Yes but is it crunchy though?

Looks great.

Not at all crunchy and I didn’t detect even a hint of any froggish notes.

First drama of the grow, about half of the seeds that cracked failed to launch. After excavating I found 1" headless taproots. That’s weird, damped off I guess. I did bury them deeper than usual for some reason.

OK, more seeds then. Properly thrown on the floor to prevent further catastrophes, and with some extra microplastics for good measure.

I accidentally did this. I usually use a sprayer so as not to disturb the soil but this time I just poured water moving the edges to the centre, burying the seeds deeper. It worked out but I was concerned for a second.

Orange is intriguing. Im very interested to see how she finishes for you and what your final thoughts are. I havent been touching mine since the first few samples so it gets a good full cure.

Well I haven’t got into it yet, but it looks and smells very nice, some kind of bookish incense leathery thing going on now that its dry, not getting any orange. It put out a lot of nice sized buds for a topped plant under low light, they’re about as big as some of the untopped ones.

Left to right:

  • Rishi Kush - pretty whispy thing overall, smells interesting
  • Orange Grove x Bubblegum Bx - larfy very frosty pheno, a bit minty
  • Orange Grove x Bubblegum Bx - nice pheno, doughy fruity
  • (Golden Tiger x A5) x Chocolope - lots of buds about this size with very thin sugar leaves
  • Crunchy Frog - later pheno, super easy trim
  • Crunchy Frog - earlier purpleish pheno and also easy to trim

Replacements on the left, ones that made it through the first round of popping in the middle, and some peppers coming up on the right.

Holy inbred batman, don’t think I’ll be using these sweet skunks for seeds after all. So now what then ?

Buds look good.

I don’t like to see that structure in my babies either.

Looks great! Very different than mine, much more dense, but the smell description is similar for sure.

Aw man ive had that a few times with Peaks gear, some grew out but most didnt. Thats unfortunate

Yeah I got a pretty nice pheno on that (GT x A5) x Chocolope, was a good producer. It looked a bit shaggy when I chopped but then the sugar leaves dried so small and brittle that it turned out to be a pretty easy trim, nice surprise there.

Having a chronix cookie today, pressing some of the harvest, a few boring veg pics… Things are going well now after the initial drama.

Peanut Butter Breath F2s, with a weird ass one in the front there. Skippy Breath back right.

Sweet Skunk up front, Cali O F3 out back.

Sour Bubble x C99 on the left and rest Cali O x C99.

My BOG LSD F2 in the back, another Cali O x C99 left, and a KC Brains Bahia Blackhead fem via @MissinBissin sneaking in late up front.

Doc Wylder Skippy Breath (Peanut Butter Herijuana x PBB) front and Texada Timewarp back both via shitseeds. Supposedly quick ones, for outdoor gifts maybe.

Sweet Skunk Freaks

Bit of redneck fun time on ice storm cleanup duty…

A ton of branches, trees, power poles, etc down and some people still don’t have power… It’s a mess north of Ptbo!

I had fun anyway, been a while since I did any real work. Didn’t even throw my back out!
