Thundercat's Groooooooow

Lol the red is from a popsicle I was using as ice. The night I got it I didn't have any ice frozen, so I cut a popsicle in half and stuck it in there. Worked great and gave the smoke a fruit punchy after taste. I've absolutely loving The Doctor he smokes so smooth, and we are smoking less(used to smoke 1-2 blunts a night) and getting really damn high so I'm not complaining.

Awesome man, didn't seem like rambling there is a lot of good info in that post. I honestly have no desire to open a business on that level. I would love to grow for enough patients to make be able to support my family or work for a company in any number of capacities, I have 5+ years of managment, customer service, and sales experiance. I think I could be a great fit. I'm gonna be 30 the end of this year and my wife is just a little younger then me, we have seriously considered trying to open a small bakery, or even a food truck since we both love to cook/bake. The bakery I would want to include canna baked goods, but sadly we are a long way from being in a financial position to take those steps. All the damn permits and overhead to get started, let alone the lack of income until we start making some money. So in the mean time my real objective is to find one of us a good enough job to get by and get ourselves to buying a house. Thats been our big goal the last couple years, I hate paying rent as I've ranted about a few times in this thread.

Yea man renting suckkkkkssssss..... Housing is in the shitter down here. Great time to buy actually if you can afford it...
 
I just ordered some ice cube trays I found today that make bullet shaped ice cubes. They will be perfect to slide down in there. Talk about killer bong rips................(cricket chirps)....... Sorry that was bad.
 
True story man that would suck. I'll have to be careful if I use them in drinks.

So things are looking good guys. I'm in the middle of week 5 now (about 7 weeks from 12/12) These girls are starting to noticeably bulk up now. I do have some fox tailing which I always seem to get so I'm gonna do some research into what might be doing that. But the rest of the buds are swelling. Most of these girls will be getting about 2 more weeks depending on how they look. Some of the BK have got so much sugar on them its crazy. I don't know for sure that the new additives are doing it, but they look nice. I was thinking those things may be why I've been able to run my ppm lower this grow then in the past. The additives could be letting the plants use the nutes better or easier...I don't know but this harvest is gonna be nice!

The male strawberry is starting to form some nice little flowers so I moved it near my upstairs window, and put a piece of cardboard right under the branches to catch the pollen when it falls. Then I'm gonna prolly pollinate 2 of the clones in the next batch of plants. This will be my first experiment with breeding so I'm excited. I feel like even though I don't know much about the strawberry genetics, from what I can see they should be decent.

The Cindy have actually grown about an inch which I'm happy about with how slow they have been moving. The critical jack is also about an inch taller and going to get cloned in the next few days. I've got a tray full of clones that are all rooted I will be putting into party cups tomorrow. Then I can take another batch of clones off everything including the CJ, and maybe the Cindies too which I'm torn about. With how slow they are going I was thinking it might be better to wait till they get a bit larger to clone them. I was also considering putting them into flower and then just cloning them a week into flower once they start to stretch. Hmmm so many choices, but I think with this batch I'm putting into cups I'll be able to go ahead and weed out the random other BK clones I've got. I've got a few real nice ones I'm gonna go a head and run, but a bunch that are kinda scragally I might cull. The WW mom is huge again and ready for another batch of clones to come off so I don't think I need the BK, and I would like to save one of these strawberries as a mom too I think as long as these clones all flower out good. I suppose if these all get nanners like this one did I won't be keeping them, sadly I havn't seen much growth since I found the nanners. It seems to be swelling up a bit but not getting any taller, I don't see any signs of seeds but its possible it could be making them inside. Either way its covered in frosting and smells sooo good. I wish I could place the smell, but I havn't figured it out yet.

Well guys you have a great night, I'm gonna visit THE DOCTOR for some meds and then call it a night. I'll catch ya tomorrow!

Peace TCbongsmilie
 
I am planning on pollinating both the cindy and the white widow, possibly both of the cindies if they are noticeably different phenos, but so far they look pretty similar. Hell we'll see I might pollinate the critical jack too just because.
 
Yeah but how many people you got to spread some love too before You can give someone else some more rep that deserves it.. I've given 3 reps and I still can't give rep to you or Kite.. wtf. Blame it on RIU.

Heya Thunder from Down Under.. I took these last night just for you knowing you take clones and put them straight into flower. Here are my 2 Cindy Clones. The Nute burn was before I decided to try your idea of using FFOF and just use Cal/mag that is Ph'd.. Funny thing, if I didn't screw up on the nute burn before this they would look healthier than my main plant. Thx.. I just might have to give this a try next time.

lol I randomly will go through threads and just rep everyone on the page so I can get back to repping people I like. I can say I'm kind surprised how few random rep+ I get back.

Whats your rep at, im at 64, i dont know if thats good or not. I only rep posts that are rep worthy, like somthing extra awsome like someone setting their wedding date for 4.20.2013. That deserves rep :):):)
 
A&C those clones look sweet man. That gives me some good promise that they will do ok in the single cola setup. Puffs girl has some nice long straight colas too, so I'm thinking it might work really well in my table. Hehe we'll know here in a few weeks, I'm gonna harvest my tray this weekend, and setup the new 4x4, and then begin to fill it. Both of my Cindys are ready to be cloned so I think I'll be able to have them in the tray before april, if not just shortly there after. Have you trimmed those, or have they naturally grown without branching much? Also how long have those been flowering?

Ninja I'm at 69 actually. I'm not sure how many times you've got to spread it before you can rerep someone though.

Its almost time for more pics, I think I'm gonna hold off till this weekend and just do some preharvest/post harvest pics for you guys. They are gonna be at 7.5 weeks of actual flower time which is where I usually pull my WW, and where I have pulled my bubba kush before with great success. This will be about 9 total weeks from when they got switched to 12/12. The smell on them is great, as soon as you open the door to the room it hits you. I don't remember if I mentioned it but I finally got a dehumidifier after 4 years without. I've got that bitch set to 40 % and I'm hoping this is one of the first crops I have zero mold issues........fingers crossed.

Well its been a long day, I'll catch you cats later!

Peace TC:bigjoint::sleep:

No trimming at all has been performed on them. One was about 4" the other was maybe 3" when I took them as clones. Very little to no side branching at all has been produced. You could probably do tall skinny pots and get as many in that 4x4 as possible. They are about 5-6 days ahead in flowering compared to my main plant. So I would say either day 27-28 on them. Wish I was paying more attention when I did it or at least wrote notes in my log book. But the clones were just to see if my main plant was gona be female or not.

Another thing I need to do next time around is get the clones at the same length next time. But i was just experimenting.


Oh and the reason for the other clone being much shorter than the clone in front (which you can see in the first picture)is because from the 2nd clone, I took off the bottom node and shoved that into the starter cube as well, just to see what would happen. So the 2nd picture what you think might be side branching at the bottom isn't.. its the bottom node I took from that cut, that is now two little colas.
 
Nice mine don't seem branchy either so I'm thinking it might work really well. I'm really excited to finally get them growing they've been pretty slow and I'm hoping that the recent growth rate continues, it hasn't been crazy but noticable. I need to get them into some soil and really try to veg them once I clone them, and try to turn them into moms, or at least a mom.

My strawberry male started dropping some pollen today, I'm gonna wait till most of it falls to try to collect it, I figured this will give it a chance to dry a bit also. I trimmed up the strawberry plant that has been drying aswell. The smoke is decent, needs to cure but has a unique flavor I can't place yet. I didn't weigh it bit I think it was about a half oz, kinda on the light side but it was also a couple weeks early and had that issue so we'll see how the next generation of clones turn out then decide if I'm keeping it.
