Sunshine daydream #2.......Gonna be the 1st ssdd to finish and quite soon by the looks of things, very impressive genetics!!!.......I know 'folk' are gonna think these snaps look good, but lack of access and shaky hands prevent me from getting photo's that I feel really do these next 4-5 plants justice.IMG_8808.JPG IMG_8810.JPG IMG_8812.JPG IMG_8813.JPG IMG_8814.JPG IMG_8816.JPG

.....and finally, the 2nd run of the Fat purple, she's strong, vigorous, potent(couchlock) and loud, but the buds were a bit 'shaggy' on the last run, I'm hoping that was down to mistakes I made. Between her and the 'Big purple balled) male I've got, there's some real interesting pollen chucking potential.IMG_8851.JPG IMG_8852.JPG IMG_8854.JPG

This Fat purple from Hazeman seeds is the main male 'Donor' to the 'preggers' ladies, but most of them have been hit with SSDD, PK x L and C99 males also. The males are now in re-veg and will be going outdoors when the weather get better so i can see what they're really like in full bloom.IMG_6844.JPG IMG_6850.JPG

MY goodness what lush beauty! I swear I 'm going to dreeeam of swimming in a sea of greeeen tonight! :bigjoint:
Though I'll admit a part of my mind got stuck on your introductory "slow as fook"...hm lol
Your dreams may have been of another kind after all that picture taking, which most certainly involved a fair amountof acrobatics too - what a feat!

Psycho Killer x Livers #5....................the most sativa of the 6 pk x l girls
Click to expand...
Ah calendula! She matches up well with that pkxL #5 - those different lightings really bring out her features! :D
what's the grass down below?
(I just watched the latest Ingham webinar and she is all into finding good ground cover combinations that will maintain the microherd between harvests out in the field. Takes transposition to the indoor, but has reawakened my interest in having something more systematic going on on my soil surfaces...)

PK x L #2............2nd most sativa................a note for @calliandra here............the reason I leave the 'Little Phalli' (PMSL) when I top is to prevent the stem from splitting when I LST them. It didn't work on this plant, twice. The main stem, which is now buried, split right down the middle and healed itself before I noticed and then the stem on one of the 2nd toppings split, as seen in the 1st photo. You can also see the scar from the string I tied around the stem with to prevent it splitting further.

LOL I just realized how the sight of that would be so much more painful to you guys than to me o_O
Actually, what struck me about your style was that topping like that allows the remnant to slowly die off, which is less intrusive maybe than having an open gash closer to the main stem... as in, kinder :)
There seems to be this tipping point, doesn't there, where all of a sudden what looks malleable one day is already rigid the next, and then *crrk* ouch lol
Looks like you got her to heal up nice n strong though!

I'd say PK x L #9 is one of the more Indica leaning pheno's.................I'm thinking around 8 week finish max???? (they're nearly 6 now)
Click to expand...
Amazing what a broad spectrum of phenos they have!
Isn't that usually something newer strains do, that aren't quite stable yet? But pk x L are cult aren't they?
I'm confused lol

DonBrennon said:
PK x L #7....................Liking the look of this one.................and I want to add that I'm getting very strong 'blue's' smells from all these crosses, it seems the 'Livers' is having a strong influence on the aromas ATM
Click to expand...
I was quite content just looking at the pics until this -now you've got me wondering what a blues smell is :P

They're all gorgeous, each in their own fashion! The frost and the even conical form of the colas on this one are quite striking though!
Did you cross them with Mr. Pink Balls?!
edit: ah I see you have! - got to the end of the page and posted haha

Well I'm going to keep my oohs and aahs for this page to myself - it must be stupidly boring to read those all the time! :mrgreen:

From the pix I'm pretty sure the "blue iguana" is a C99 - it has the same special kind of flower shape! Looks like edelweis from the top, and has this horizontal spread to it... - funny that yours is Mosca,I've been looking at pix of the Brothers Grimm strain these past years, but still the characteristics seem to apply to both ( btw have you grown that one too and know how they compare?!)
But even just matching plants, the plant labelled "blue iguana" resembles the C99#2 much more, while the other - at least on the pix - seems to be growing in a much more elongated fashion.
And lastly, why would you position a second plant as centerpiece? Just from that it has to be the Blue Iguana :P haha
Say, will it, go blue? Then we'd know for sure :bigjoint:

Lol its still part of the continent. Those fucktards with those money issues (the ones from the States too), should be put on an island somewhere and forgotten about. The issue is that we still rely on some fake ass paper which our governments print and control us with :)

Is Calendula my minature rose bushes name? LOL..........I think she prefers her new position to being in the shade, on the floor. She was a tangled mess so I cut her right back to 5-6 main branches and she's throwing out healthier buds & flowers now.

The grass is barley which I bought for making SST's, but don't use anymore, so thought I'd have a bit of living mulch. It's more trouble than it's worth TBH. I originally had the full surface of all the pots covered in it and trimming it was a PITA, the little that is still growing, is growing despite being flattened, buried in EWC and a new layer of mulch applied over it.

I'm definitely into living mulch and companion planting though. I'm considering going full 'No Till' in those big ass plastic pots(I'm getting too much evaporation from so many fabrics and it's giving me humidity issues) and I really want a small perennial plant that's known to make mycorrhizal connections with Glomus intraradices or whatever they've changed the name to now. I spent some time looking the other night, but could only find general list for endo or ecto, not specific species. There are 2 plants I've already decided I'm gonna use though, Indian mint and creeping thyme. I've got em growing in the same size pots in my front yard and they just cover any available space on the surface of the pot.

You and I are thinking alike. the more I start amending after each run the more I want to go full no till. Just put em up on some floor dollies and wheel them back and forth from veg to flower to keep perpetual grows going.

and yeah the barley grass as living mulch is a pain in the smaller pots, but in the no tills i think it wouldn't be so bad since everything is a little higher off the ground, easier to work on. plus you can do the chlorophyll waters with the trimmings, or use the fresh greens for the wormbin.

I'm going to try my first no till pretty soon here in a 20gal on a dolly and see how it goes. i think the biggest learning curve will be how much to amend on the surface after each run. also i might consider using dolo lime in the base mix rather than OSF since it takes longer to be broken down, and just use the OSF on the surface. o_O

this is my goal as well, planning on trying out some 14 gallon SIPS this next run and see how it goes
