Welp, @TevinJonson and myself are closing in on our official start of our commercial cultivation operation - plants in the ground in February. Thats’s a large part of being MIA from the forums for the last 6 months. At any rate, I’m sure you already know there’s gonna be a good representation of Useful’s genetics in our garden.
Our commercial operation will be demanding my time, but I still want to be able to grow for my personal stash and because I enjoy learning new techniques, pushing the boundaries of indoor cultivation, and so I can play with new toys
.
So, I’ve decided to do a grow unlike any that I’ve done before - and of course, I’ll be using one of Useful’s strains to do it.
The Strain: Orange Cookies x Chocolate Diesel
Media/Container: Coco Coir/Perlite in a 1-pot Autopot XL (6.6 gallon) container, air-dome, and 11+ gallon reservoir with air stone. *New*
Grow Area: 4x4 Tent
Environment: CO2 Enriched (tank) between 800-1400 (depending on stage of growth), target temp: low 80’s veg, 86-87 F flower.
The Lights: New, and a definite upgrade from my last flowering lights, the QB 288’s (which are still fine lights)...
I feel pretty good about that sheer power, outstanding efficiency, and spectrum that goes well into the far red territory. But just to be safe, I thought I’d round out the low end too:
The Nutes: After eyeing these and closely following their community on instagram, and seeing the eye-popping results people have been getting, I decided to christen my new lights with a nute line to compliment:
The Goal: Lower waste (less water, less nutrients with autopots - not to mention lower humidity), more efficiency (new lights so powerful they elevate temp to target on their own, so no more space heater ruining my efficiency), further increase in potency, trichomes, resin, terpenes, and last: a goal of 1.75 lbs+ from the singular plants grown inside of the 4x4 from now on.
Seed, away! This should be interesting.

I run LEDs and utilize far red prior to and just after lights off to facilitate the Emerson effect. I’ve read that LEDs in general may potentially decrease time to harvest on their own, and (subjectively) that seems to be the case. It’s been a long while since I grew BBnC, but as I recall, it took right about 8 weeks exactly for me. I just so happened to be window shopping Useful’s gear and discovered pictures from my grow on JBC, lol! To give you an idea, the last 2 pics posted here are my BBnC in later flower. Great strain, and a joy to grow.

Gotta love that 100% germ rate! One had a little issue with the seed pod sticking to it but I think she will recover! I can't wait to see and smell these flowers in a few months!

I need to pay some respects here with a long overdue post.
A couple years ago I was lucky enough to find myself the owner of a pack of Useful’s bags of oranges (S1).
Popped 4 out of the pack. My keeper, while not the looker maybe, not only crushed the yields but smells, tastes and hits so divine....oh and clones so easy. I do let her flower a full 12 weeks from flip so count that how ya like.
about to finish up week 11 in the pics. It’s been cold in there at night. She doesn’t always purp like this.
I only spend money on this hobby but she’s changed my life. Thank you.
I have flowered out chem 91 x cd and couldn’t handle the lemon terps I got. I’m already too hyped up naturally lol. There is some funky onion and legit cat piss there for sure.
Blackened OJs has a pheno that came out heavy yield, natural purp colors, and huge lime flavor. Lime almost to the level that BOO is orange. Very nice 50/50 high. I had saved the cut but sadly lost it to some unknown bug unfortunately. Cut my losses and saved my BOO. My best buddy here is pretty broken up let me tell you. It was his jam like whoa baby.
Anyway much love and respect. May your yields be heavy, stanky and easy to trim!

I don't know, I haven't heard from the folks that are doin the seed increase for us. But I know they are on it.
That is up in the air at the moment.
Orange Groves WILL happen.
That post put a BIG smile on my face for sure !!! Glad you are satisfied with your purchase, and I appreciate the support.

Chem d x boo @ 62 days flowering. I haven't seen pea size calyx like this since I ran nl5 over 10 years ago. Don't know if it's genetics or uvb supplementing I've done this run. This plant is coming down Friday. Cheers.

I've got two "D-Bag" going into flower in the next week or two. I hope they come close to looking as good.

This was the one I wanted to pick up to run as everything shut down and I couldn’t get it. How’s it smell? Does it have that chem funk?

Honestly it's tricomed out to the max but has hardly any smell to it. It had a subtle orange peel smell mid flower but now just smells like good weed. Very subtle smell. I've got other strains in the tent that have way more pungent smells. Here's a cobs copper candy from @Amos Otis that has an awesome blueberry, pine smell.

I usually run a pack at a time to get a good read on the cross. Hopefully something kicks up during the cure.
Nice job in the copper Candy. If the D bag doesn’t pull through on flavour mix it with copper Candy. Lol
