So has anyone ever grown Afgoo? I Saw somewhere that it is a hybrid. I guess my pheno is showing more sative traits?

Cool, so now that we are all on the same page, lets proceed, lol.

LOL. I thought we were on page 1691. Just thought DST was having a personal moment :D
Lol me too and everyone else that is....HAHA!
You guys are too funny, I often have personal moments!

Never had the pleasure bass. I am sure that's what DNA say they use in a lot of their crosses.

I would have thought it to be a more compact plant, could be wrong though.
Me too, but could be partly as a result of using hps light for a week.
But that didnt really affect the other strains. Oh well, I guess she will be 6 ft tall....lol

They are said to produce slightly less than an HPS but the bulbs are not yet available in wattages greater than 400. There are a few people on this board growing with them and I am following to get some more input. For the price, I'm thinking I will probably get one at some point to add another spectrum in my flower box.

I did, then my "partner" didnt water them as seedlings when I was out of town and they were all dead when I got back :-( sorry cant help.
I remember u saying that you lost a crop while out of town....Sorry to hear that. I will take pics of mine 2nite though for all to see the tallest indica ever....lol!

howdy. i put them into freezer storage bags, triple wrapped and left them in the crisper of the fridge. i also kept them in ball jars for a few years but the multiple freezer bags are enough. they do very well. this current crop's super silver haze is like 10 years old and i got 25 out of 25 to pop. people who don't breed this crazy expensive genetics are nuts. i just made over 1000 seeds of mantanuska tundra. lol

i have a grow at gypsy's under fatboyogof where i grew SSH, S.A.G.E., swiss bliss, stonehenge and sensi star. i crossed all of those genetics to themselves and to each other. it was a lot of work but there's gold in them thar crosses.
Thanks fatboy, how long you been growing? I haven't been growing but a couple of years but I've been smoking for over forty, I'm a sativa lover myself and wish I had some of the beans from years ago. I have a little something that's crossed with a super silver haze going now. I have a neville's haze and a hawaiian snow stashed waiting for the right time to grow them. Right now I have a shackzilla and killing fields going from sannie, both sativa dominant and a ny47 and blackjack too, both with sativa in them. I also have a bean or two of laughing buddha and morning glory, more sativa dominant plants to grow...and an acapulco gold bean.

Question for the 600 crew. Is there anyway to guess at a cross' flowering time based on what went into it? What I am getting at is I have a cross I've never heard of and can't find any info on. It's Sour D X S.A.G.E. X Larry OG. Info online puts Sour D at 10-12 weeks flowering, SAGE at 10-11, and Larry OG at 8-9. I realize I can just watch it, but I want to know when to start my Gravity feed (which I like to do 3 weeks away from harvest. After a week of gravity I flush for 10-12 days. Do I start that process around week 5... or week 8? Know what I'm saying.
Jig, I'm thinking about week seven and now a question for you. Gravity, do you use it for one week only and how often do you give it to your girls? I give mine three doses, one per week weeks six seven and eight. And that usually gives me a week or so before chopping with nothing but water for the girls.

I've only tied LSD twice.
First time was a half a hit of blotter which got me high (but not tripping) for about 5 hours.
The next time was a full hit of blotter and I was tripping for about 18 hours. Not a bad trip, but too out of control for my tastes. ;-)
I tried shrooms only once, but just couldn't get past the taste so never ate enough to make an impact.
But you'll have to pry my bong from my cold, dead hands! bongsmilie
I've tried acid a few times myself, a few hundred but mushrooms only a couple of times. I have never been so stoned as I was the first time I did mushrooms. No acid ever compared to that mushroom.

I guess im welcome to the 600 club. Im running 2 600 watt HPS in a 5x5.5' closet.
Welcome, girls, we want to see your girls.

Cool, so now that we are all on the same page, lets proceed, lol.

We're stoners DST, we may be on the same page but that doesn't necessarily mean we are all thinking the same thing. Hell I have to admit, I had mine set on thirty posts per page and had to change it just to hit 420 day.

Great show guys, best thread on RIU.

Every time I smoke Afgoo, or Afgooey, it has a nice sativa high to it. I have never smoked it with a couchlock stone, so maybe you do have a more sativa pheno.
I havent smoked it yet, so I had no idea what to expect. The Oaksterdam nursery catalog shows no designation, but says 8 week strain. I just assumed that meant indica.

Hahaha.... thanks for asking Heads Up. I laugh becuase I've been racking my brain trying to remember how I administer the gravity and the following flush. I don't exactly remember. I think.... with a capital T... that I do it like this. Watch the girls try to see them start packing on the weight (just start) and start the Gravity. I think this is usually about 3 1/2 weeks away from harvest. I give drain the rez (i do hydro as you know) add a bit of gravity, some DM Zone, Silica, and DM Max (which apparently helps the plants nute uptake) and I think (again, not sure) I add something like 10% of the nutrients I had been running previously. If I'm correct when I do this the ppms are around 150-250. So pretty low. As the water level drops I add more water and more gravity (same ml/gallon as before). I keep this going for 7-10 days. Usually 10. Then I flush the plants with just water, zone, and silica. I flush for 2 weeks. Wring out all the nutrients in the plants. Usually makes things change colors too.

Does that answer your question?

One other tidbit of info. On my first grow I was confused and so I wrote to Emerald Triangle (the folks who make HCO products). LoL... I think that's who it was. Anyways, the people who make it told me that some growers (in soil) use gravity multiple time. In week 4, 6, 8. And other variations like that. I'm not sure how they do it and if the plants get nutrients in the times between or what. But anyways that's what they said.

Another note. On one grow I geve them Gravity, with hardly any nutes.. then after gave the plants normal regimen of nutrients again, and I swear they started growing bigger buds. Like the buds exploded with new growth again. Not sure if this is a good thing. I mean more growth is always good I guess, but I'm not sure if it takes them longer to finish doing this or if it affects potency. Anyways, just wanted to share all things Gravity related.

Peace Heads Up. Glad to have you rollin with the crew again. Place just isn't the same without you.
