Shecky, are you sure it's bamboo ,and not a "cane field" we are staring at in those pics doc took?

No that's just the bamboo!! I'm sure someday soon we will be seeing the pics of the cane fields

[Puna Bud]

looking good as always,"Sheckster". I love your taste in strains brah. You always have a nice variety of meds going. Do you grow organically in soil?

 

[Sheckster]

Yea I grow organically in 5 gal containers..
except that I like to slip in the Fox Farms grow big as a supplement in the beginning stages... so purists would say no
I would be happy to share clones with you if we can figure out a way to do it...
This 7 plant limit constrains my creativity I need to get over to the BI!!!
New additions to the family include Kyle Kushman's Strawberry Cough x The White (aka Diamond Kush, Triangle Kush)... and the Molokai
I added a few more to my collection from Tunda (Grapefruit Diesel, Master Kush, and God's Gift)... Hopefully those are high impact... I know the Grapefruit Diesel was ono
Found another uncle who is gonna trade some sick kushes.... Pure Kush was the only one I remember offhand

Also got really lucky and got a proto-male from the KKSC x The White... (For those that don't know.. Proto Males are what you get when you get a male plant from feminized seeds)
Will be crossing that with the Bubba, Ape Dawg, Og, & whateva!

eh, i planted some kc 33 around june 22. they are now a foot tall and starting to bud. i was told that im in the long season so why did they start budding so fast? what other strains can i grow that wont bud fast even in short season

 

[Sheckster]

Well Bagada you planted at Solstice.. Which is the longest day of the year....
Every day after June 22nd gets shorter until December, so your plants are reacting to the fact that there is less sunlight each day.
That's what triggers it...
Next time plant around May 1

wow maligs808, that is one nice garden!!

beautiful pics sheckster! I picked up some cindy99 a few days ago and im lovin it, looks like your not too far from enjoying cindy too! that bubba looks very different from the bubba ive grown in the past, do you know if there really is pre-98 and post-98 bubba or is that just marketing spin?

 

[maligs808]

Nice Maligs!

got some super silver haze, some puna, a strain from kona, chrystal, widowrella (white widow x cindy 99), big devil automatic, sharksbreath, rocklock, hashplant and a few others. your pics are amazing too btw and thank you everyone for the kind words. i can't take all the credit. mother nature does most of the work.

Yea- Pre98 Bubba is one type... The "post98" bubba you are referring to is the Katsu cut...
There is a strong belief amongst some old school breeders that DNA's LA Confidential & offshoots like LA Woman etc are Pre98Bubba and Pre98Bubba crossed with secret strains etc
I prefer the pre98 as it is more couchlock... good pain relief.. and a sandlewood aroma and flavor.. The strain I have had going for over 18 months is very acclimated to the climate in Hawaii but we are talking plants no taller than 2-3 feet.... Also they arent big producers... Think quality over quantity..

Thanks brah, ill keep that in mind next year. so the only way to get decent size plants now would be to veg indoors right? how would pure sativas do around this time?

 

[Sheckster]

You'll still get decent size plants because the sun is still strong and in the middle of the sky... Not long before it begins that heavy tilt towards the south...
If you live on south facing slopes then you can probably get away with planting sativas... Most of my friends that are growing the equatorial sativas have at least 4-6 foot plants at the moment that are just starting slow down in their veg mode..
I can really only speak to the indica dominant strains... In my experience the pure indicas don't do as well as they do in dryer climates... Surprisingly the strains that seem to do the best during the short season/altered long season are the ones that are about 70% indica and about 30% Sativa. My Fire Og is about 70% Sativa, 30% Indica and it has problems during the veg cycle but goes insane during the flower stage..

Paris Hilton busted for Marijuana possession 2nd time in 2 months

I never understood why anybody ever liked Paris Hilton... But now that we are finding out that she is a big smoker of the ganja, she suddenly got a little hotter in my book

interesting...looks like im just gonna try out different strains over the years of growing to come. that is the real "bulletproof" way to know whats best for you. thanks for the insight brada. right now im growing super silver haze, kc33, and tnr. i will update on how each one turned out. oh, and just to throw it out there...my friend grew some kings kush from greenhouse seeds, hands down best indica commercial strain, the nugs were the densist ive ever seen and choke yeild from just a small 2 ft tied down plant
