What's Rasterman Growing?

Two Mephisto Sam’s OG x Grape Crinkleberry were planted outside in a #7 pot with two autos in flower already. Between the cold nights and being shielded by a mother, they predictably stunted. :shorts::broken_heart::pleading_face::sob:

However, one was ready a couple of days ago and I chopped it. I finished drying today on the dashboard of my :pickup_truck:. I smoked an estimated .75G and was completely blazed for an hour or so. Fantastic stuff! :hot_face::hot_face::hot_face::hot_face: I’ve got a few more seeds. A friend (a great friend) :bowing_man: bought a pack, took out two, and sent me the rest.

This is the sibling that’s still alive. I’m going to let her ride for another week or two for comparison.

I’m in trouble. I just filled up my tent. I’ll have to remove the fan to add another plant, and I have several in the greenhouse that are going to need room soon.

Every single seed I planted three days ago sprouted. I planted extra, but you shouldn’t plan these things when you’ve been testing the latest batch.

I had already planned to double up the NGOPLE. I put them in the same pot as the last NGOPLE. I topdressed with BAS Craft Blend and I’ll give them a deep mulch when they get tall enough.

The Auto Mango Haze might get some pollen. One seed barely had a tail, so the fast sprouter lived and the other one is wondering why it’s so dry on the concrete.

The Auto Decayed Strawberries I put both in the same pot. You can only see one in the picture; the other hasn’t made her appearance yet. I’ll pick a winner in a couple of weeks.

The right one is in a pot and soil recently vacated by a Texas Butter, which, come to think of it, should be ready to jar by now. I topdressed it with Craft Blend and composted chicken poop.

And that’s that! I’m going to have to get the pumphouse ready to take the overflow…

I’ve been growing this Skunk #1 Regular F4 courtesy @BRMTreefarmer. It really hates the pot it’s in, and it’s running slower than everything else in the greenhouse but I’m confident it’ll finish.

I smelled the buds today, and they smell like a solvent I used to use in the military - petroleum naptha. I guess that’s fuel. Whatever it’s called, it’s got an allure and it’s something I have only previously encountered on the flightline. :airplane:

Too bad I’ll need to wait awhile to try it…

@rasterman My little SK1 volunteer is starting to stack a little and add weight. These plants can get extremely heavy given everything it needs. I gave this one a little nitrogen when I first seen it sprout and thats it!

That’s a more ideal vigor and growth. They don’t like having their roots constricted I guess.

Last week, I noticed that all of my new seedlings were infested with aphids so I decided to cull them all, rather than fight an infestation and maybe infect my seed moms in the same tent. So far, none of the pending moms seem to be infested.

I’ll wait until next weekend to be sure before starting more seeds.

My Skunk #1 Reg F4 (@BRMTreefarmer) died a week ago after a hard freeze, and she didn’t look ready. It seems like she was a month from being ready. I tried some yesterday and the buzz is still very pleasant and I’ll be making some great extracts.

I’ll have to stick with indoors for this strain.

So you figure you were wk 5-6 when she died?

No, she went into the greenhouse in veg near the end of June so she had all summer but she didn’t even look close. Maybe she was, but she didn’t look like it.

I experienced similar with my outdoor early July and had to tarp over so I could get another 3 weeks of growth. Norlt fully mature but enough for me to learn about the plants.

Do you think youll run SK1 indoor in the near future?

Not in the super near future, though probably within the next year. If I do, I think this strain would do well with 8 or many more colas.

Awesome!!! Looking forward to seeing it when it happens. @BRMTreefarmer was kind enough to gift me some seeds so I’ll be popping a few of the Ak48 and his BoG Lifesaver x Grape auto in the next few months :). The SK1 I will save for late spring when I’ll be running it alongside a couple of BC Golden Skunk for comparison
