I'd have to say the blue cheese is my favorite.

word!!!! I actually can't get enough of the stuff. 1 jar down. 2 to go. All my other strains/jars are still very full! LOL But seriously, I find it just makes all other weed taste and smell a bit bland.

Where was you BC from, Barney's or Buddha?

No idea who Chris Henry is, but I'll have a bowl for him anyway!

awesome update looking real good

Thanks TLD. It's a shame when someone goes through such tribulations and finally gets things turned around, only to have it snuffed out by some ironic twist of fate

My BC is from Barney's. Kinda want to try a Big Buddha BC now just for comparison's sake. I figure they'd be pretty similar though...both use the Buddha Cheese, but I think the BB may use a DJ Short Blueberry or something. Maybe I'll get a pick and mix if I ever order seeds again...I've got quite the stockpile built up at the moment, so don't hold your breath on that one.

I do love the Blue Cheese though. Can't wait for the next harvest!

Been a while since I updated...sorry. Everything is going well in both gardens. I transplanted the clones into square black pots a few days ago...they looked a little wilty for the first day or two in their new soil, which may have been because I intentionally broke apart the root ball while transplanting or because the BioBizz Light Mix retains a ton of moisture and needs more perlite. I would add some, but the only stuff I have on hand is MG perlite with nutrients added to it, which I certainly don't need. Regardless, they're all doing fine now.

The flowering girls are coming right along. One of the blue cheese is probably ready for the chop any day now. Getting a nice purpley hue to her. The PPP is still ridiculous...the top of the colas are looking like the pic attitude has posted for it, which means they're getting really wide on top. Everything else is same old same old. Pics tonight after 8.

Oh, and I planted some seeds a couple days go. 3 Jack the Ripper and 2 Trainwreck. I put a layer of Light Warrior on top of a mostly-full cup of the BioBizz, and all seeds have sprouted within 4-5 days. I just put the seeds 1/4 inch under the surface (barely covered) and water them in. No pre-germination soaking in cups or paper towels. Oh and they're under 24/0 light in my clone chamber. Oh and another clone rooted...it is a top from either the Blue Widow, Chiesel, or LSD. Unfortunately my dumb self didn't label them, and now I've no clue. Oh well.

Anyway, pics to come tonight. Merry Christmas to those of you who believe in that sort of thing.

Finally got those pics...I took them a couple days ago but haven't had time to upload them until now.

Here's a Blue Cheese I let get too tall. The buds are nice, just not going to be the best yielder.




Here's another blue cheese. Dead leaves but nice buds...


A closer shot...


Another Blue Cheese




Nice little BC bud...


Pride and joy...PPP


Very colorful


Closer shot of one main cola...starting to get quite wide at the top...


More fun colors...


A little frosty bud...can't remember which plant this is...


Here's the blue widow. Not terribly impressed with this plant, but I've got a clone gong so we'll see. I actually just harvested the top 2/3 of this girl yesterday...her trichs were getting pretty amber. Should have checked more regularly...but she was about ready.


A little blue cheese...


Little blue cheese cola...


LSD. Too tall. Won't let that happen to the clones!






Nice looking buds...


Veg plants...PPP (front left), blue widow (front right), LSD topped (back right), LSD untopped (back left).


Chiesel (back left), LSD untopped (back right...same as last pic), PPP (front right), and newest PPP clone front left in the 24oz solo cup.


Finally, seedlings/clones! The back row are 3 Jack the Ripper's and 2 Trainwrecks. Front row from left to right is a chiesel clone (I think), a blue widow clone that has yet to root, and then the three party cups. The Power Kush, sleestackxskunk and og18xskunk are all being entered in the party cup grow competition thing. I've got some extra seeds lying around, and even I can fit 3 party cups into my operation somewhere...

Go Bengals.

AFC North Division Champions and playoff bound! WHODEY!

Nice frosty Colas Jerry!

Thanks for the update...

Whopper of an update there Jerry. Bravo. Colorful plants are fun to play with. I've been experimenting with bumping up the nitrogen in the last couple weeks of flower before flush. This prevents the leaves from going yellow and you get only purples and reds and blacks. The coloring of the bud itself will increase too. Some strains I thought were all green can actually be quite colorful if they have enough N at the end. Doesn't much affect potency or anything but fun to play with.

Glad to see you still lurking around mared...I worried the 5-0 may have gotten to you!

I've pretty much continued to give nitrogen throughout the entire flowering period, in addition to flowering nutrients. Aside from the blue cheeses the other plants all responded positively to the treatment. Sometimes I like to throw 5-1-1 fish emulsion into my flowering mix, other times I just use my BMO veg nutes.

I think it really has brought out more color in the PPP especially. The cooler evening temps probably don't hurt the coloring either.

I'm always AMAZED at what you're doing with that space Jerry. I think of you every time I'm in the Dollar Tree debating on those red cups, LOL.

And I'm with you...I was really worried about you Mared, LOL. You really are low key, aren't you?

No offense to any fellow RIU'ers, but you truly do have growing indoors perfected.

Happy New Years guys.

i think the bengals suck (im an eagles fan ) but i always love your girls jerry! great job! how is the LSD smelling?

Thanks war. I don't hate the Eagles. We tied last year.

The LSD is smelling, well, fantastic. I'm really quite excited for it. I can't describe the smell at the moment, but I'll give a report once she comes down.

The Blue Cheeses should all be ready for the chop in the next week, with PPP close behind. The LSD probably has a little longer than that, along with the Chiesel.

Here are some pics of the most recent addition to the family...

I have those same beans. Look forward to seeing how those grow for ya...

What mix did you use in your cup? How much water to you add?

I think I overwatered mine for the germ. My LW/OF combo held so much moisture I think it slowed the first weeks growth. Now that they are drying out they are starting to grow. I am just use to better results.

i wanted to get the slee and the 18 crosses as well but just couldnt get em cant wait to see what i missed

Well, I harvested both smaller blue cheeses a few days ago...they've already made it to jars. Another of the larger BC was harvested last evening. They had some pretty nice swollen calyxes at the time of chopping.

I've got pics of everything, but no time to upload them. I'll try to get them up later this evening. But they're sitting on my camera, just waiting to roll!

Well, I took a bunch of pics on the 6th, which was now 5 days ago. I went out of town for the weekend and didn't want to upload pics over a public network. No need to be foolish right? So I had to wait a few days. All these pics are from the evening of the 1/6/10. I'll take a new set soon.
Here's the LSD. I trimmed a couple buds about a week ago. Dried them out normally for a few days and then smoked em. Very sticky, crystalline plant. Uncured smoke tasted very skunky...like my Thai Super Skunk, but more thick. No trippy high, but the trichs aren't quite amber yet and the buds were uncured. I'm itching to bring this sucker down because she's so damn tall! Hopefully I fixed the problem with the next batch by shortening the veg time.


Closeup of one bud. Still shooting out new pistils.


Closer closeup.


PPP. All growth below the top of the cola's has stopped for about the last week. Trichs are still cloudy with very few amber. I'm itching to cut this one too, just because.


Very colorful. You can see the white pistils forming on the top. This girl sits about 6" under my 400w hps.


The lone remaining blue cheese. Gonna let this one finish a bit longer and see how it differs from the earlier harvested plants, which I've already begun smoking (can't wait for them to cure, I'm out of all other smoke!)


Dead leaves, yeah yeah, nice bud though...


Chiesel. Very colorful as well. Also getting rather frosty of late. Should be fun.


Another chiesel shot. This girl recovered nicely after burning her top on the glass lens (which I've learned gets very hot if you shut off the fan).


The next generation. I moved them to flower a couple days before this pic was taken, so around 1/4/10 we'll say.


Two main colas from the Blue widow.


Untopped LSD clone on the right, blue widow again on the left.


Hard to tell from this pic, but here's the other LSD, two main colas, on the left. The right is PPP with 3 main colas.


PPP in foreground.


The next next generation. Two fem GHS Trainwreck on the left, 3 reg TGA Jack the Ripper on the right.


Trainwrecks. Bigger now than on the 6th. I'll get some new pics soon.


Also, the JTR's are bigger too.



I don't have any new pics of the SleestackxSkunk, OG18xSkunk or Power Kush, though I'll take some when I get the others. Also not pictured are a topped Blue Widow clone, topped PPP clone, rooted Chiesel top and unrooted blue widow clone.

Probably going to take some more LSD clones before they start flowering for real. I'm also probably going to let the PPP go by the wayside after the last clone I have flowers. It served well as an introductory plant, but I don't really see the need in carrying the strain forward, especially when I have so many other strains I want to try out. Plus I'm sitting on a nice pile of seeds I want to try out.

fuckin awesome my dude! your gonna love those trainwrecks i know i did! too bad for both our teams out the playoffs huh
