A Gentleman's Grow 2020

Guess I should have transplanted this Monkey Juice a little sooner! Her and the OC x CD were both well overdue for a new home.

If this AK auto doesn't finish up soon I'm gonna need to buy another 5 gallon pot. Got too many plants going right now.

Here's the 4AM:View attachment 4574446

And the BCP:

My "super soil" definitely isn't feeding as well as I had hoped. Top dressed the 4AM with more of that mix and fed 4ml of CalMag.

All the other plants got a nutrient mix of 4g Veg+Bloom and 0.5g of Life+ with 4ml CalMag per gallon. Soil pH is chilling at 6.5 now that I punted the GH nutes.

Mephisto Skywalker x Double Grape and Northern Cheese Haze sprouted today and went into 1 gallon pots. Up-potted the Key Lime Kush and Chem x CD as well.

I love to repot when I see my roots like that, I’ve added my perilite to my mix also. I’ll have to water more often but no worries

Two more girls got the axe tonight.

Funny enough one was the LA Confidential. It was the last plant to start flowering, but finished before 4 others! Shes a lovely dark purple that doesn't show up well in these pictures. Smells like classic skunk with a little pine. Better yield than I expected too.


The Dinafem Critical + 2.0 came down tonight as well. Huge yielder for such a short grow. Really impressed with her vigor. Even the side buds are dense and full. The smell is hard to describe. Just straight up unidentifiable funk.

Bravo, it looks dens yoo

Dropped the bigger AK auto today. Phone was dead so I didn't grab any pictures. Still a bunch of trimming to do, I ran out of steam. She's not a huge plant, but she had a lot of dense little nugs. Day 86 when Advanced Seeds calls it a 70-80 day strain ... so kudos to Advanced! That's pretty damn close.

She smells super sweet like fruit candy. Pretty frosty for an auto too. Yield should be decent as well even though she lacked any really big colas.

Got some smoke reports coming up for the first four I dropped once I get my thoughts organized. I will say right now though, the Cinderella XX was the smallest plant of the four, but far and away the best smoke.

Monkey Juice, going into the flower tent real soon.



Hopefully Orange Cookies x Chocolate Diesel will be going in too but I accidentally let her get too dry and she wilted away. Going to give her some time to recover. She seems really prone to that. There's no "a little wilted" phase. This is the second time it happened, and it only happens to her.



Shes got a good base to grow on though.


Here's the NL auto I threw out in the snow. Shes just trucking along, no thanks to me. Can't decide if I should start feeding her or just seeing where this experiment ends.

Smoke reports!

Seedsman Northern Lights Auto:

Buds are pretty fluffy with low bag appeal. It's not terrible, but no one is getting excited over it.

Smell is sweet and fruity, almost bubblegum, but mild. Better than I expected but again, nothing anyone will lose their mind over.

Taste is actually pretty decent. The dry hit is straight sugary, like the smell of a pack of Bazooka. The bud taste mild but again, sweet, with a nice fruity taste that act6 sticks around for most of a joint (my preferred smoking method) and doesn't start to taste to resin-y until the joint is almost completely done.

I'd give it a D+. 4/10. It's grade is definitely affected by it's absurdly long growing time.

The first AK got jarred this morning. She didn't look like much but the bud smells fantastic and she actually pulled in at 111g dry! Not including the larf either.

The girls outside:

Veg and auto tent:


The smaller plant is the OC x CD. She recovered nicely. 4AM and BCP are cruising along. Lost track of the days, I'll figure it out later. The second AK is in the back and getting axed whenever I get some free time.

Monkey Juice went into the flower tent two days ago. I'm pissed, I broke a stem off of her. Tried taping it up but came home and it had just fallen over. Oh well.


No pics but the last 3 plants from the one gallon grow are closing in. Our surprise heat wave last week spiked the temps in the tent into the 90s. The purple diesel daze and Florida OG took it well, but Franco's Lemon Haze immediately started foxtailing like crazy. Probably just going to chop them all at once.

The OC x CD recovered nicely (on the left). Here she is with the Monkey Juice. Both have been in flower for 3 days.

AK47 pheno #2 got the axe last night then I dropped the Florida OG, UK Cheese, Franco's Lemon Cheese and Purple Diesel Daze today. Found a single bean in the OG. After some digging I found a single damn nanner on the cheese. I'm expecting I'll find more seeds once everything is dried. Anything that's too seedy will be destined for the trim bin.

I also dropped a whole bunch of regs for some breeding experiments.

4 each:
AKBB Romulan BX4
3Thirteen Sin City Juice
Bohdi Aluna
.
3 each:
AKBB Dope Beard Durban
Coastal Swazi x Burmese
Bad Dawg Motor City Fighters

1 each:
Useful Blackened Oranges
Eso's Dyno Berry Bites
Eso's Big N Tasty

Checked the drying buds today ... Florida OG got bit by the mold. I knew it as soon as I picked up the bud so I started searching. Only seems to have got the one plant so far. Whole plant went straight into the trash. Damn shame, plant smelled like molasses and pepper, I was looking forward to smoking this one.

Took some clones from the Key Lime Pie and Chem D x Chocolate Diesel.



And the OC x CD and Monkey Juice are starting to fill up the flower tent.


Not marijuana related but found some clematis growing feral in my yard. Pretty cool.

Outdoor girls are rolling right along. Slugs are starting to get to them though. Gonna have to do something about that.

You got all kinds of stuff going on lol I've got some sin city juice I'm wanting to pop soon & greases peices already vegging to go in behind the monkey juice

Haha ya man, Im always doing a little too much.

I've been following your journal, real interested in the Greases Pieces! Hopefully I'll get a pack of my own eventually.

so far my greases peices seems similar to monkey juice but a bit more vigorous I will be adding pics of it to my journals soon its gonna replace monkey juice in the 340w. cob tent next round in early july

OCxCD and Monkey Juice in the back, Chem D x CD and Katsu Key Lime Pie in the front. I decided to flower them now so I could get my pheno hunt going. Gonna be crowded in this tent.



Speaking of .... we're officially hunting. I've got my eye on the big Romulan in the back. One of the Swazi x Burmese is growing really well so far too.



The last of the autos ... 4AM will be wrapping up soon I think ... BCP is WAY behind her. I'm a little disappointed in WickedPissah so far.

And the outdoors girls... slugs have been a problem but they're looking healthy overall

Been crazy busy so the journal is lagging behind a bit. Also totally dropped the ball on smoke reports haha.

In summary ... Franco's Lemon Cheese, Europa Cheesilicious and Purple Diesel Daze and Brothers Grimm Cinderella XX were all excellent. Advanced Seeds Auto Kaya 47 were also solid, both phenos. Dinafem Critical+ 2.0 is a good alround smoke too, great high, good pain reliever, but the taste and smell just doesn't blow me away.

The LA Confidential has a nice strong high but the taste just isn't my cup of tea. It tastes like feet smell.

The Fruity Widow is an all around disappointment. One pheno has great bag appeal but both are weak in flavor and the high is pretty subpar as well.

4 Assed Monkey harvested and dried. Went into the jars tonight.

The stash is looking pretty good right now ... 9 strains to choose from at the moment. I usually have 2 or 3, enjoying the extra variety

The pheno hunt ... only one plant has shown sex and its a male, AK Bean Brains Romulan BX4. Hoping for at least a couple more boys to choose from.


Close up of the Black Cherry Pebbles creeping in the background. First try at super soil wasn't particularly successful clearly, so I've started feeding her Veg + Bloom and Life+
