SirGreenThumbs Grow Journal

It has been a little bit since I have posted in this forum so I figured I would add a little update. The buku that is flowering right now has been giving me so many issues and she is sensitive to everything. She is holding in there, but she looks like shit. I cant wait till this plant is done so I can have the extra room and I'm not positive that she will yield very much because of all the issues, but I decided that I was just going to concentrate the growth to the top of the plant so I pruned a couple bottom branches and am going to test my buds.

I would have some pics of what she looks like currently, but my camera is on the fritz and will have to wait till I get my new Nikon L820. I was able to take a pic of the test buds though with my Iphone.



I just smoked about a quarter of one of these and am fried. . The tricolms(sp)? are about 50/50 cloudy / clear. I was also just informed that I am going out to eat with my fiancee and her sister. Oh well, at least the food will be delicious.

 

[MrEDuck]

can't wait for better pics. good to know you have some buds again.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

Thanks duck... I am too.

Did you see the camera I'm getting? What you think?

 

[MrEDuck]

Looks pretty nice. They have good glass but I'm loyal to Canon even with fixed lens cameras.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

Yea, I have no issues with canon, but I have always wanted a nikon and after much research I have found this camera will be good for the price range I wanted and the quality I'm looking for. It even has a 200fps video setting that will be fun to play with.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

There isn't really much to update. Still trying to get this buku plant out of her stalled stage. I gave her some Nitrogen to try and help regrow some foliage. Only thing I can tell is happening atm is that the buds are not getting any bigger just maturing for their small stature. Hairs are turning brown and the tricolms are getting more and more milky but no bulk whatsoever.

So currently I have the buku going and 3 bagseed and I just planted a pineapple express. The PE will be transferred into a 5gal bucket when she is ready. Don't really have any pics except for one bagseed that has been alive for a week and half and already started flowering.

I'm about to be growing a PE cross. (PE x Apollo 11) X Apollo 11. It should intensify the tropical fruit taste/smell of the A11 and add some of the PE's yield while keeping the buzz and quick flowering time of the A11.
You should start bending that girl down.

That apollo 11 looks nice.

I've started training her already. I had to put another string to hold the stalk while I bent the top portion down. The leaves on this plant are so big its hard to get smaller branched out from under it. I was going to top this plant, but she started flowering before I got a chance.

I'm trying to decide if I want to top the other 2 bagseed. They look kinda weird. I've never had any plants grow to look like these and now I have 2?
I have no idea how a moon type thing got into the photos.

 

[MrEDuck]

The Bros Grimm had some really amazing genetics. I was talking with the breeder and his selections sounded pretty good. He went through 15 males to find a good A11 dad and 20 moms for the PE mom and the PE x A11 mom of the back cross. That's three rounds of selections of 40 plants. He also says it's his favorite project that he's created. I can't wait for these to arrive. It should be the end of this week or the beginning of next week. I'll soak three as soon as they come in hope of finding a female. I'll be chopping my Blue Dream in 3 weeks so I'll have plenty of space to start them flowering after I top them for clones.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

Do you have a specific breeder that you get your beans from? I order all mine from over seas.
I would like to cross an Aurora indica with a Papaya plant. May have to do that when I get a bigger space.

 

[MrEDuck]

These are from Devil Weed Seeds who sells over at ic mag, I know a few people that breed and there's a bunch of breeders whose gear I like. I want to run some more rare dankness gear after seeing the plants I've gotten from the Midas beans I've popped. I don't want to wait to sample the female I finally got but she's got about 7-8 weeks left. I want to run some of Ace Seeds' pure sativa hybrids. I had some of their Panama and REALLY enjoyed it and want to grow it. I had it along with some Kali Mist from the same grower and it was way better. And likely finishes a little faster. They have a bunch of other interesting looking strains as well.
I also really recommend Classic Seeds. Everything I've seen grown of his is great and everything I've smoked of his gear has been top notch stuff. And his beans are $45/2 10 packs at TSD.

I went over to icemag to check out what you were talking about.. I may have to register to get a better look. But yea, the last seeds I ordered I went with beans that not very many people have grown or reported their grow. Like Smokey bear auto.... Will be a bit before I get to it since it is an auto and my light is set for 12/12.. I would imagine I could probably grow it during 12/12 but the yield would probably suck.. Maybe I should give it a go at some point and see how it works out..

I haven't decided if I'm gonna grow the PE in soil or hydro and will have to do some research for both on that plant.. I know that once she is ready she will be topped and trained like a mofo. Gonna try and get a scrog type plant without the screen. In hindsight maybe I should have bought a bigger tent.

 

[MrEDuck]

You can always get bigger and use the little one for veg.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

You referring to after I top her and then use the top as a mother plant? If so, I don't have a veg area... I need to get some of that silver stuff you spoke of so I can make me some seeds from the PE and the AI when I get it started.

 

[MrEDuck]

You can always get a bigger tent and veg in your current one.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

I don't have the space for it. i currently live in a 1 bedroom apartment.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

I ended up cutting down my BUKU plant... She wasn't growing anymore and the hairs on what buds there were on the plant had already changed colors and the tricolms were around 80%cloudy 18% clear 2% amber . I would have taken pics of the final bullshit she put out, but frankly its embarrassing. Its still drying atm but I'll prob have 9g of smoke when its done drying. What a sad day. I officially will never try another buku grow..

I currently have 3 bagseed and 1 pineapple express going. 1 bagseed is a confirmed female and the PE is still working on breaking the soil. Will do another update when I get my new camera.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

Will be going to get my camera tomorrow.. I'm excited... But in the process of doing jobs and everything else I managed to fuck up my back somehow and managed to obtain some purple kush. I'm baked and feeling no pain...

Whenever I buy weed I always break it up completely for some reason. I have a tin that I keep it in. Habit..

 

[SirGreenThumb]

Finally got my new camera so here are some pics.

The first pic is of some bagseed that has been flowering for about 2 weeks. I try my best not to bump into this girl cause she stinks just like skunk.


One of these weird looking plants is a confirmed female...


Little miss Pineapple Express. Didn't bother taking her out of the tent so there is a yellow hps glow going on.


I will be getting some colloidal silver to make some seeds from this pineapple express and when she creates her pollen sacs I'll save some of those to pollinate my Aurora Indica plant that I'll be growing next.. So I am planning on making a PE x AI Cross that shall be called RoaringPineapple.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

More pics of the flowering bagseed.... She was transplanted into a 5gal bucket yesterday. Have 6-8 weeks left... She may give me some pretty decent weed.
