DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

[bender420]

So it was the last of the chopping this morning. then all my veg girls went into flower. Changed the light tower a bit, put the carbon can vertically as well and raised the tower for the girls that will be up on the shelfs, the carbon can is sitting on a flower pot with holes drilled into it for extra ventilation.

Without further adoo....


Thelma pre and post chop - nicely flushed








New York 47 pre and post chop - spot the seed in the cola - I also got a couple of seeds from the last run as well. I am stopping with the NY47 after this...seeds in the bank though.




See the seed?


I'm a 45..


This is from left to right Thelma, Blackjack/NY47/some headband in the back, then the OG Kush. The first lot of Headband is now in paper bags finishing off then into the jars.

Well if you have never had the pleasure of seeing a pair of Cheesey Baws....well here you go.

Light was playing up, and I even took this photo on manual focus...shakey hands this morning, hahaha

Picture bump to the next page for my mate DST.

Fucking all perfect pictures man. Amazing plants from top to bottom. I showed a friend of mine your grow and he is a head band like you, and guess what he loved your head band, gave you many compliments.

Tight horns and WC ball shots. It must be a fun to have your personal vuvuzela, they are that common it the states, I want one .

Your pictures are always so much fun to look at, keep em coming dawg.

Hi Bender, thanks for the bumps and comments.

Interesting to hear about your Jasmine. I really love Jasmines, the smell from them is just soooo amazing. I also think they are good to keep in your home if you are a bit para about smells as well, once they flower that is all you are going to be smelling. And the blooms are tiny little things. If we ever decide to have a child and it's a girl. it will be called Jasmine (after my Grandmother.) We are trying again with 2 of our Jasmines outside. I have got them in 70 litre pots so hopefully the cold temps won't kill them like it did last year. When we put them out the top layer of vines and leaves went black!! Very strange, but they bounced back well. Fingers crossed!

Cheers bru,

Peace, DST

Hey peeps, well I took a saunter along to my little secret guerilla grow...ffs, I had to leave the bike half way the road has become that overgrown to just get to the place. Anyway, after walking the rest of the way I discover the site is exactly the same...I start to think, how the fuk do I get back into where I was....anyway, a few jaggy netles later this is what I saw. There are 9 left, the 2 little ones have gone awol! A couple have been getting munched (which was the next go off) I had prepared a spray bottle in a feeble atempt to keep micro critters at bay....I only went and left that in my grow room at home...too busy making sure the nute feed I was giving them was ready!! Douche bag.

So I started to clear a few more reeds away, and this time managed to stab myself in the finger (I even wore gloves this time) The blood was pouring out of my glove, so if the old NCIS get down there...I am fooked, ahahaha. I tried stopping the flow with some leaves of a reed but that wasn't happening, the blood was flowing too quick. So I held my hand over my head and wrapped it with the glove and cycled home looking like I had murdered someone and burried them out in the wasteland, haha (Just to be clear..I didn't do anyone over, it was just a cut in my finger!)

Well they seem to be growing which is a relief. Lets hope the patch stays undetected. Heres the pics I managed to take one handed whilst balancing the camera with my chin.

Bit out of focus...this is the first 1 handed chin balancing shot...they get better


The middle one is reaching for the sky




Bit of a stretch, but hey ho

LMAO funny story D. Seems the outdoors has a bit of a challenge factor to growing lol. Ive had my share of mishaps already. Plants looking mighty healthy. What kind of nutes you feeding?. Hope your finger gets better lol. good read. 1BMM

 

[Hulk Nugs]

Very nice update !!

Loved the story bro just made me feel right there with you, hold the finger for 2 minutes for a small cut the white blood cells will build up brother taught me that at a angel game never forget it!!!

Been wanting to do the same thing still planing on it just need a clone or two to get me started don't really care about yield or how big they get first time out is just to see if its possible with out it doing the disappearing act!

Rock on man keep growing strong!!

I started the girls in a 14-16-18 soil mix that I use for clones and seedlings. Then I added some organic pooh later on, you just sprinkle on top! lovely smelling stuff. Then when I planted I had some of my recycled coco from my last grow, threw some of that down, also some Kalk which is an organic product I use, rich in microbio organisms and magnesium. Helps keep the ph balanced as well.
When I went along yesterday I gave the half strength Supermix Grond (Ground) from Bio Nova. The soil along there looked very moist when I put them in, and it has a sort of clay feel to it......they seem to be reasonably happy.

At first I was, shit a cut, and when I took the glove off I was a bit surprised, the stuff was really pouring out quick stylee.....

Exactly, for me this is like a test, just to see if they can stay for the duration.....will be interesting whatever happens. I still got 4 girls to put out somewhere else...not sure what's going to happen to them now.

Thanks for stopping by guys, catch you later.

EDIT: Sun is back!! Yipee!!

Hey Cheezey, nice to see you over here. Thanks for the kind words, for me I am already getting paid bru, I don't pay for my kind. There are only certain people I speak to my grow about. So I like RIU as a place to talk about what I love doing, growing.....and also communicating. And thankfully, like too few things in life, you can be rewarded for what you put into something, regardless of whether you are given some physical asset as a reward or not.

Bit of a shame about Bafana Bafan tonight! At least they put up a fight and beat the French. Good luck everyone tomorrow!

hahah true suffering for the cause! whats sort of bad ass bush makes you bleed that much tho D!?!? sounds like some bear ghrylls shit lol.

im itching to go and have a look at mine but i have no idea whether they'll be anywhere near close to done!? i imagine a normal 9 week flowering strain taking a few weeks longer than that outdoors right?!

stay up man

 

[oscaroscar]

We've just had the longest day (around 18 hours of light) so i doubt they'll be any where near ready, prolly no pre flowers yet lol go back at the end of sept. You could borrow a mates dog and "stumble" across them lol to have a look coz they might need bending over so they don't get noticed. Years ago my mate grew some bagseed out in the sticks and they were kin huge but he took em near the end of aug and if i knew then what i know now i woulda told him to leave to grow a bit/lot more IMO they were about 5 weeks if indoor

 

[mr west]

wot times the piss test osca?

 

[las fingerez]

Ok, so from oor mans description above, what I make of it is.
UK Cheese been giving a quick operation to turn it into a man (do they stick willies on them, hahahaha) That has then been crossed by the milkmen at DankDairyCheese company (I would love to work at that Dairy farm...I used to work for a Dairy when I was a lad delivering milk for them hehe) I guess this has been done with two different phenos, producing the seeds, BX1, and BX2....These ones are BX2, although that cheekey little fairy also dropped of a BX1...sheesh she is a minx, hahaha. I only have 1 of the precious BX1 seeds left so I am gonna try that ron.

Hope you are as unconfused as me.

Peace, DST

better late than neve my mum used 2 say lol.

thanks kinda understand now. cheers bro now some catching up 2 do

 

[oscaroscar]

wot times the piss test osca?

2 o'clock mate. I hope i pass. 5 weeks should be enough. You can buy stuff that is supposed to give you a negative sample but there is no way i would trust owt like that. It was the first few days that i missed smoking most but after that you kinda just forget about it. It was worse last year coz i was growing and i had temptation right under my nose lol

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

thank for the heads up osc man, yeah summer solstice has just been eh so really ive got about 9 weeks from now balls hahah

 

[DST]

Indeed, Oscar nailed it there. The plants will only start flowering as the light to dark period starts to change...so 9-10 weeks from now...well we're use to the waiting I suppose,lol.
Good luck with the wee test Osc.....10 minutes fae now.

Cheese pics to come soon. See what you lads think.

DST

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

aye true that im used to the waiting but im still comin to terms with the patience bit hahaha

hope ya passed osc! he's probably going to be a while repsonding i reckon he'll be chonging a fatty right about now

roll on cheese hahahah the irony your mob call them cheese rolls.

DST

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

cool, u gonna flower a male out?

 

[oscaroscar]

Yep i passed, thank fuck lol i knew 5 weeks without a smoke would be enough.
Both your male and female cheeses look pretty cheesey to me mate, thin branches and zig zaggy nodes. Its the closest seed version i've seen should be a corker.
Don it won't be 9 weeks from now it'll be 9 weeks from when the days start to be about half and half, IMO it'll be ready about 5 weeks after the equinox but i'm only guessing
BTW i'm gonna have 3 month cured cheese spliff that i rolled yesterday lol its gonna be savoured like a fine cigar. i'm waiting til the missus goes to work about 6ish to light the fucker so i have NO interuptions lmao
