HydroRed's Horticultural Whorehouse

[HydroRed]

I've got some feminized beans of GG4 x Kosher Kush if anyone is interested to run em? I'd love to see what they will do, I just have too many beans for experiments right now to grow em myself.

...but I'm making a bunch of fem crosses.

very nice, did you use a couple applications of nano silver to induce those two branches?

I used some home made cs. I've tried different appilication methods and found it works if you start spraying when they show sex on into the first ten days of flower or so. About once daily for a week to 10 days.

I've also learned that misting the whole plant works better than a branch.






Sorry @HydroRed wasn't trying to derail the thread.

Thanks @Cold$moke I hope you wont blame fem beans in general. Sometimes slight stresses can bring out nanners that arent normally in a happy strain obviously but sometimes they just throw em "just because" and it has absolutely nothing to do with how you grew it. This Kosher Kush was grown 2 runs back to back with clones cut from the same momma and she threw nanners on both runs at the same time like clock work. I have a hard time believing it was something I've done in my room or the environment since my room is dialed in 100% and I havent had nanners in a long time, through many runs and many strains.
I am swearing off any more Reserva Privada strains, but really would like to try the Lemon OG by DNA. Funny you mention it as its actually next on my "to get" list for fem beans.

Hi HydroRed, I have been enjoying your thread for the last hour or so! I bow down to your amazing growing skills and journal also thank you for taking the time and sharing it with us! I love how amazingly clean you keep your rooms, I so wish I were better in that area.

I was going to wait and chime in after I was up to date on the thread (I have already subscribed to it!) but when I saw the Lemon OG by DNA I had to comment. I have a Lemon OG pheno I have had for a good 6 years and it is still my favorite smoke, everyone loves it, that said from recently catching back up on RUI a lot of folks seem down on DNA and Reserva more recently (not just you). I still have a Holy Grail Kush from that same purchase when I got the Lemon OG (I did a big run of DNA, Reserva and Barneys Farm that year, didn't pop the HGK until 2 years later but..she is still around too ) Then last year I got some DNA Cantaloupe Kush again (I grew it once before when I ordered the original Lemon OG but didn't keep it around) and I liked what I got from those beans last year. It is coming up on spring so I need to decide soon if the Cantaloupe sticks around for another year or gets moved outdoors for its last run . I am thinking of pushing out the Holy Grail and keeping the Cantaloupe but still need to hash it out with the boss. Each year I pop some new seeds and push some things out but that Lemon OG I have has stayed around making the cut since I went hydro indoors about 6 years now.

Again thanks for sharing I am loving this thread and all the contributors, seems like a friendly group with lots of knowledge and a little age behind them

Thanks for stopping in, and the very kind words! I dont want to sway anyone from trying anything since I may just have bad luck with RP or DNA with my recent runs. As for Lemon OG, I decided to pick up some S1's from Cool Creek Genetics at GLG (I believe they are no longer available) in hopes that it will be a remarkable pheno since it was "selfed" from a top pheno clone. This way, Im hoping to bypass any poor breeding issues from RP/DNA since my experiences with them have been less than stellar as of late. That, and someone else has already done the pheno hunting for me
Your not the first to mention the staying power of the Lemon OG so I have high hopes for mine when I pop em.

Bad day at the Whorehouse today. I go into the flower room and realize for the ?? day in a row theres no water in my dehu container. I usually avg about 1/2 gal+ every day during lights off. Im noticing that they are just looking really "revert" looking with lots of foxtailing. After a closer look I notice there is a nanner in Califonia Cannon #2. Out of suspicion now, I set the digital timer to go off in one minute and sure as shit it made no noise and failed to turn off. My light has been on 24hrs for lord only knows how many days now. Thats why there was no water in the dehu. Here I am watching it all go down knowing something isnt right, but I couldn't pinpoint the issue until its too late. I didn't see any nanners on anything else but I took the California Cannon #2 since there were multiple nanners found. Its probably not looking good for the rest either.
On a positive note, the Mothers Milk are almost there anyways if I do have to take em down early.

Heartbreaking!

Great thread thanks for sharing again, I am going to order some of the Mega Crop today to replace my botanicare line hopefully I will see similar results to yours with a lot less hassles from the botainicare line. Have you started throwing in any additives are you still just running Mega Crop but itself? No need for added cal/mag?

Thanks again this is an awesome thread.

Gorilla Glue and Mothers Milk are now on my list of needs!

I hope she turns out beautifully for you!

Just followed this forum, can't wait to see what turns out

Now that I'm familiar with what MegaCrop will do on its own, I've started using my usual bloom booster which is Humboldts "Ginormous" 0-18-16 during weeks 4/5/6/7 of flower with good results. I use a cal/mg supplement for plants under LED lighting only really. Seems like led lighting makes the plants eat it up. I havent found a need to supplement cal/mg under my HPS/MH though.

Thanks for the response I ordered the 23# bag of Mega Grow a little while ago.

I just checked my seed stock and I probably shouldn't order any for this spring as they seem to be piling up but after seeing your Gorilla Glue and Mothers Milk photo's and your smoke reports for them I find that I gotta try it Variety is really the spice to life when it comes to weed, at least to me and my better half.

My personal exp with them i found magic in my lemon skunk . Its the only strain ive bought again to try and find the same pheno as i miss it.

Chocolope did not impress me decent buds but blah flav and smell

Reservas super lemon og was good but i dont miss it like the skunk.

So its been hit and miss for me.
If these lemon skunks do like the last one though
Ill be

Would be curious to hear your opinion on what exactly is Big Mike's motivation for investing in politics in places like California where the market prices are plummeting with legalization.
What does he have to gain from supporting prop 64? No one is running out and saying "Damn bro, The market is hot - $100zips - I gotta get me some Advanced Nutrients"

I have no idea what he's up to these days. Prices will be dropping like crazy here in Canada too once it finally gets re-legalized and more people get into growing their 4 legal plants. About time and the LPs will be hurting as normal market influences come to bear and the prohibition pricing model that they are all basing their profit projections on run into the wall of reality.

Cash croppers ought to be looking to get into other vocations as pot will be dirt cheap in a decade as it should be.

Roadkill Master #1 @65 days -Smells like the fruity skunk from the 90's. Seems to take on even more of this aroma once dried and in jars. Almost comparable to a mango scent.


Roadkill Master #2 @65 days -Smells just like #1. Not much variance between the plants and both grew great considering the timer issues I had in the 8th week. Even after stressing, they didnt throw any nanners


I was able to smoke a J from both and they taste like they smell. Very subtle on the sweet but the fruity is there. Nothing overpowering though which is nice. Smooth smoking weed cut right from the stalks before going in jars, so its going to be a real mellow treat here after a cpl weeks time in jars.
I think its a great throwback strain for anyone who enjoyed smoking some fruity Midwest skunk in the 90's like I did.

 

[Cold$moke]

Me like the no nanners after a major stress like that

Good plants

 

[HydroRed]

"California Cannon" #2 @ 69 days
Smells like turpentine & fuely chem for the most part. Theres a touch of lemon there but you gotta look for it.


Ace High @ 69 days
Smells like industrial strength oven cleaner. No other way to explain it. I'm not sure what to make of this one just yet, but shes dank and sticky as hell.

Table #2 is going to be all Fruity Pebble OG fems by Jaws.

I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but JAWS Genetics will soon find a way into my garden. I know quality when I see it. I'm gitty to see how they turn out in your garden.

@HydroRed - have you ever grown anything out by Farmhouse Genetics? I noticed he plays with a lot of glue strains (which is right up your alley) so I thought I'd ask.

You and me both. I've been chasing these FPOG beans for a minute.
No experience with Farmhouse....yet. I'll probably run the Banana Glue before I jump into any more glue crosses. I still have those and the GPS glue crosses to run. Im gonna let you do all the work on that one from Dankonomics
Hows the beans so far?

 

[BleedsGreen]

Hey @HydroRed , I just got in my Mega Crop when I got home today it was on the porch . Just wondering what you thought, should I go ahead and start in on it with my next Flower water change? Start with my next veg water change then follow them into flower? Finish up with what I have of my botanicair line then switch (waste not and all that)? Just go ahead with the mega crop in all areas as I won't be sorry ?

I would appreciate your advice as well as anyone who watches your journals' thoughts.

@Cold$moke any input? or thoughts? I don't think you run Mega Crop but just in changing nut lines in the middle of a grow in general?

I am leaning towards just moving everything to the mega crop but..... Did you notice any difference in taste, flavor or scent when you changed? I am happy with the shit I grow for consumption but the botainicare line of 5 - 8 items every res change is a huge PITA.
