Cumber's Fruity Lair

lmao....'i just assumed she was being a bitch'. Same thing happened with me...four seeds of the same strain, and one just decided to be a runt for no apparent reason! I guess that's why people grow out multiple beans at once to choose a mother...some seeds don't live up to their full capability.


I have heard the same as you...conflicting info on LSD. I have one from Barney's farm so I'll be sure to let you guys know how it is. I find a hard time believing that there's weed good enough to make me hallucinate like LSD since I've done acid a few times in high school and never really had bad effects from it...even when I took more than the other people around me who were trippin'. The only thing that's ever made me really trip is shrooms! Now if they have a strain like that...


Do you know if strawberry cheesecake and strawberry cough are similar? Is strawberry cheescake a sativa?

It's a mathematical certainty that if you put several women in a room together at least one of them will be a bitch. I assume it would be the same with mj plants.

I also have a hard time believing that any herb strain is potent enough to cause hallucinations too. I'm not a chemist or anything but it just seems highly improbable. I dunno.. either way LSD is intriguing, if only because of the name. I do love to nibble on some shrooms once in a while; I've actually considered trying my hand at growing them but I'm a bit iffy on it.

I did a little research on Strawberry Cough vs Strawberry Cheesecake. Cheesecake is an Indica dom crossed between Chronic and Cheese. Cough is a Sativa dom crossed between Strawberry and Haze. Cough actually looks pretty good honestly. From what little I've read about it just now it seems to get high reviews from growers. I tend to lean more in favor of Indicas just out of personal preference though. I love a hardcore couchlock followed by a nap; it does wonders for my bouts of insomnia.

i seem to always get a runt in every batch... its best not to beat yourself up about it.. as said above its not usually anything you've done wrong or could have done any better... its like a class full of students... for every three or four football team kids there's a scrawny pale faced kid who couldn't run without sucking on asthma pump like its going out of fashion. its all the same...


i too talk to my plants .. well i moan to the about the other half to be honest, they seem to like it though


barneys farm pineapple express autos were very nice ... but not not quite the fruity kick in the mouth i was expecting, alot of the blurb is hyped i'm thinking, i guess they hope to nail a sale with guilded lillys, but it just puts me off trying other strains if i think they are talking BS

Haha.. I like your football analogy. She certainly is the last kid you'd pick for the team. I'm still rooting for her though, she hasn't completely flopped out on me as of yet. She just needs a serious attitude adjustment. lol

Nah you aint twisting my arm lol I've been really wanting to try it for ages as I'm such a fan of cheese, and the heavyweight farm


Haven't tried THC bomb, but for obvious reasons, it's always been on the option list lol the pics look great!

I am totally digging this heavy cheese aroma. I can't wait till harvest, if the smoke is as good as the smell I'll be in heaven. I may very well end up being a hardcore Cheese fan myself.

My ears perked up on the THC Bomb simply because of that 20-25% THC level. And yeah, the bud porn pics are delish. How's the leaning tower of Weedza doing? Any new updates?

I think I just found a new quote for my sig lmao!!

I thought about doing the same! But I worry that I'll grow some poisonous shit and end up killing myself!!

Ah ok then...I have a strawberry cough bean so was wondering. I usually like indicas too...but I liked all weed to be honest . I heard sativa's will give you couch lock too if you let the trics get mostly amber!

 

[troutie]

i love weed .... just simple love it... sorry guys i had to say that cos its true

i even keep my skins in my mason jars so they taste nice

Cumbers i must say that pineapple chunk is the framework for that pineapple express i grew a few months ago .... nice enough and seeds from barneys farm germ really well... but i don't think it lived up to its hype at all..... one thing i will say is that they all grew identical, i don't know if they stabilised the p-chunk better when they made the auto strain ... but no strange lanky or short bushy wierdness going on there

i get a nice buzz from just growing.... it makes smoking so much nicer when you know exactly how it was raised.

Haha! That's awesome.

Oh god, girl. Now you're making me paranoid. I'll be checking on you constantly once your crop cycles through. Expect a lot of 'hey, are you still alive?' messages from me in the near future! lol

Edited because I'm an idiot and thought you were talking about the LSD strain. Gah, you were talking about shrooms! lol I need to put the bong down, I think.

I wouldn't turn down any quality weed of any stripe, to be sure. That's the great thing about growing your own; you get to pick and choose to suit your own preferences. If only dealers worked the same way. I didn't know that about sativas. Thanks for the heads up on that!

I do the exact same thing with my skins! Even the hemp papers have nothing on that.

Okay... not a lot of pics here I'm afraid but there is a lot of stuff going on here...

Measuring in at 3.5 oz dry and have had about a half ounce already, so 4 oz from one plant is fuckin awesome! and still another to go!
Fruit punch I'll give another few days just to make sure she's cooked but she looks ready now. I reckon another 4 Oz from the FP too, but I'll have to see, it's very hard to gauge as she grows different to the other strains.





Smokes real nice now too. Swells up when it's crushed just like I like it to.Very fruity smell and a very hashishy taste. The buzz is cerebral and hard and comes on very slowly. The 'tamed' smoker would easily have a whitey on this stuff lol
Bag appeal is okay. Largish nugs, not too resiny but quite fluffy on the outside, dense on the inside. I've moved the smaller stragglier buds to the side as with the rotten bits, they together weigh 14g so I guess that's my bit haha the rotted bits look awful and brown. Just super lucky I pulled her out before it spread further...

Doesn't look like 3.5, but I guess it's cos of the larger colas at the back. It's really dry right now but I'm leaving it to go proper crispy before jarring it. I've made the mistake of jarring far too early in past grows and getting a right damp stinky smell to the weed that don't go away.
Also this time I'm gonna put it in sandwich bags inside the jar. I hate the smell of reused weed jars... yuk smells rotten!

Anyway, I'll try and get better pics of Fruit Punch in a few days. Enjoy peeps!

LoL know dat

I spent some time today pondering my aero pot. The timer wasn't what blew, it was the mister... fs
So after much attempting to drive water with air, I decided on DWC with an air stone. Works okay so far. I took two cuts from Caramelo, she's more than capable right now, and this time put them into root riots, then into my netty pots with the water level just over the bottom of the netty pots and just a tad full of Canna rhizatonic.

I've always had good results with root riots. But always standing in still water. This is new for me If this aero pot can be of some use than at least it won't be a total waste of money eh

Caramelo is doing just fine btw Kronik She's still leaning lol and her branches have grown loads. I'm even tempted to put a screen over it to start training her across more
I'll see if I can get some more pics tomoz. Far too stoned right now lol

Nice . Would be nice to watch as you do dwc...want to try one of these days.

Then you're lucky I just took some pics, J


Aero pot, turned DWC pot

A dead mister means improvising...

I think you can pretty much see how it's working. Air goes in, bubbles come out. Highly oxygenated water hitting the base of the root riots keeps them moist through capillary action, thus keeping the stems moist. Cuts were taken at the base of the main trunk, soaked in rooting mixture (stuff inside the propogator - canna rhizotonic 20ml and 5L water PH to 6.5), cut 45 degrees and doused in clonex gel. Root riots were soaked in rooting mixture. And now this newfangled machine is making a rawkuss in my kitchen which can't continue much longer lol it needs to go back outside haha - Think I'll give it a few days first, see if we get some tap roots poking through.




Close up of the bubbles under the root riots. This center hole I leave with easy access so I can check the water level.


I think this way I can even veg them out a little before transplanting them.
And, interestingly, as it may be my last grow in this house I may just flower one of them in the pot to see how it copes. A little experiment lol I guess I'll decide nearer the time.



Some inspirational stoned art


I tried to make some more but just couldn't come up with any creative ideas, booo

Nice haul. Have you transplanted the Caramelo yet? I thought I read in a previous post that you were considering it. Maybe I'm wrong - it's been known to happen. I'm still cracking up over the fact I thought LadyJ was gonna kill herself with weed! LOL

 

[troutie]

i'd love to watch as he does the dwc .... i'm not sure what it is but its turning me on hahahaha

man them nuggs look like i wanna come to your house real soon bro ... trouties got to go get a street baggy tonight

makeshift areo/dwc looks good bro well impressed ... but we both know you can make anything with a hammer and duct tape..... hope it works well for ya

 

[onlycucumbershere]

Ever hit spend ages typing a damned long message and hit the back button by mistake?

The DWC, it's like the funky chicken but with less chicken and more funky :S lol

Good luck with the street bag fella, I can sense the disappointment already...

 

[troutie]

i did ok mate ... not too bad at all ..... but not the same

 

[onlycucumbershere]

Took 2.5 Oz of Budziller down the road today and come back with 500 quid kerching! (well... good as. pick up readies in a few days) My baby got a good review, the boys like her

Fruit punch has measured in dry at 2 Oz +2g ish, I reckon it still has a few grams to lose during cure. Buds are scrawny, but they've dried out nicely and look feggin beautiful! All golden, yellow and light green mmmm

I've taken a few pics, but as you can imagine fresh THC content is debilitating my motivational construct, so I'll try and get them up tomorrow with a little more gusto.

Curing really does work people!
The strength of my BZ went up like four-fold after two days of curing...

Noob Note:
THC is mostly created through chemical conversions which happens during curing, with even and continued evaporation
It's too easy to shoot it out quickly for the quick buck (yes people will still buy it), but only the growers have the ability to create good bud on the street - Don't be a quick grow Jo, you used to be that kid on the street getting ripped off with shit weed lol

Actually I heard today that peeps are selling now at .5g and .7g - for £10, and people are buying it up. Peeps are making a killing out there! Ounces going for £280 and the like! that's unheard of! So fuck going back to buying from them 'peeps' lmao

 

[troutie]

yeah wet crap isnt nice .... but lets be honest i much perfer my own soil grown then anyones hydro crap all day long

 

[Lady.J]

LOL nice, fuckin' money maker!!!

 

[troutie]

sold my vap today ..... a friend bullied me into the trade, but i wasn't that impressed with it to be honest, i'd like to get a better one

cumbers ..... have you toyed with the idea of a full scrog yet?.. i'm dying to try one if only for the experience..... and i know you have an inventive flare so i'm sure you'd do well

I take it you mean vapouriser? Damn I wanna get one of those.
If you think your's was rubbish than you shouldn't worry really about the trade lol just need to look forward to the better one

cumbers ..... have you toyed with the idea of a full scrog yet?.. i'm dying to try one if only for the experience..... and i know you have an inventive flare so i'm sure you'd do well

It's funny you ask that... chk the coming update

 

[onlycucumbershere]

As expected, it dried out to 2 oz +2g. It was left slightly too long without watering before cut, which has shown through now by lack of that serious dank smell. My Cheese is also like this (I cut her down tonight too).

In the past few days my flower box temps have shot up to 38C. Far too high to warrant putting the Caramelo in right now, and far too high to have left the Cheese in for any 'extra time'...

Cheese came in wet at 50g only. So reduced to a third, I'm looking at roughly 16g's of cheeseyness - not to say they don't stink at all of course, cos they do, just not as potently as they should be. They're actually kinda smellin nice really
FP is smoking real nice, very smooth and very fruity, naturally.
The Cheese sample I took a week ago, I tried last night and yes. Veeeeeery nice So this half ounce I know I'm gonna get smashed with LoL


Fruit Punch; Sort of timeline...




Cheese




Caramelo;

As you can see I've placed a screen over her to flatten her out and begin scrog training. The last pic shows my cab a few weeks ago - it's now empty! Good news for the caramelo! Bad news for her, is that I've just planted 3 reg seeds - sleestack x skunk, which I hope to flower from seed - ish (may give them a week or two veg first). But either way, looks like it's scrog time at my camp woo! Tonight I topped a few tops and fed her a little veg juice and a little root juice. Temps are still super hot at 30C but still no where near the flower box at 38C lol Thing is water isn't evaporating much and she's getting locked out, so little point in giving her any nutes if any at all. She's already responding well to the screen though which is a good sign. Tops are poking through the holes and branches are nicely growing out sideways and sprouting new nodes as a result
My aim is to fill this screen and see if I'm gonna need a bigger one when I'm ready to pot up in a few weeks or so.
In the mean time - my flower box can be turned off and get a little make over and a clean up. I'm sure I can re arrange the ducting somehow to make better venting too.




6 ounces-ish from one grow. I'm quite happy with that. But I think it should be giving me more for so much work.
This time I want as many tops on that Caramelo as I can make and see if that makes a big difference. I don't know the yield expectations from this strain so I just have to wait and see... Fingers crossed it's good enough to make a good price at least lol

I'd like to find a bigger container for a pot, wide and shallow... any ideas? I'm thinking an under bed plastic draw thingy...

Those Fruit Punch pictures look great. The name sounds delicious too.

I dunno, maybe it's because I'm a girl but I tend to zone in on the strains with the fruity names.
