Full House featuring Uncle Joey. 1200 Watts & 7 strains(Satori, C99xDC, HazexSkunk...

Ive completed the stats for all the plants. I have also added in previous stats, so you wont need to flip back and forth. I have some pictures, but I am exhausted. I spent 5 hours over there after I got off work. I dont seem to have any time to do anything besides work and care for the plants. Tomorrow, Ill be going out in the field to check on my outdoor plants. Wee.

The Early Durbans have been placed into the flowering tent as well. Ive got them sitting on a makeshift table(plywood on milkcrates). I need to grab a couple more to raise it up some. Does anyone know of a good place to get milk crates? There are a confirmed two females so far. I also ended up snapping on a few nodes of growth off one that I had previously damaged, but I can't do anything about that now. No more LST'ing for me . Topping is so much more simpler.

Well thats it. If Ive got the energy tomorrow, Ill post some pictures.

Oh yeah, If anyone is looking for a top notch thermo/hygrometer, get yourselves a Caliber III. They are 15-20 on Amazon, but they are worth it. I also recommend a Boveda Calibration packet to ensure your hygrometer is reading the correct humidity. The calibration packet is 75% RH, and my Caliber III was dead on. They are also tiny, so you can put them into your curing jars and get a much better cure. Aim for 60-65 RH for great cured weed. This eliminates the need for random burpings, and is well foolproof curing. No more guess work, and it will also eliminate the chance of mold as long as you dont let it go above 65%.

lookin/soundin good dave!

Uncle Joey is home from work, and he brought presents for all!

Ill start off with the males first. They'll also be the best pictures since their under a 42w cfl now. They are starting to flower now. Forming cute little ball sacks. The Pic will be large, so UB is able to see them. Hold your mouse over the picture and the description will pop up for you. You can also click on the picture to increase its size.

Here are pics of the females now.

Great pix, thanks for your consideration.

Can't believe the 11 leaf leafset plants. That is some very sativa looking stuff, like Thai or Colombian. Didn't think such stuff was still around anymore. I'd for sure be doing a backcross and saving those seeds, if, it isn't hermie and it is potent. But that's just me, I have a weak spot in my heart for such cool genetics. Sure as hell is gonna have some weak stems so it will need support.

Great journal!

No problem UB.

Yep. O. Haze does have Columbian, and Thai in it. There's also some South Indian, and a bit of Mexican. Looks like the Thai or Colombian is expressing itself. They dont all show this trait. The next time I visit the plants I will see how many of them show it. Im definitely looking forward to making some seeds, and growing the f2's out in the future. I think Ill make another purchase from the Boutique, so I can get more of these freebies. Id love to pop 30 at a time and see what treasures they have to offer up. From alot of reports Ive read about it, is that it'll surpass many modern strains, and is a real treat to the senses. I can't wait to see for myself.

Cultivators Choice went out of business in the 80's, so these seeds were 20 plus years old when planted. I could have easily had 90% germination, but two of them died from damping off . This just from sticking the seeds into moist soil and misting the soil when it needed it. No fancy paper napkins, ziploc bags, heat sources, or soaking seeds, etc for me I like simple things. Although Im not adverse to a seaweed soaking before planting.

Im hoping to acquire some even older seeds from my stepdads buddy who has been smoking for 40 years and he's 75. Ive heard he has a jar full of seeds. Im hoping they go way back, and I can get them. It'd be great to grow some of those lost Sativa genetics from back then. From the history of pot Ive read, it was almost all sativas way back then, until indicas started to make strains go basically extinct.

Ive already experienced the weak stems you've talked about on one plant. This odd plant grew a flat main cola. The stem isn't round. Its flat. Its already bent over and damaged itself a bit, so it is now being supported via the fishing wire. The fishing wire is very loosely tied, so Im not worried about it damaging it. Hopefully it'll form a knot around the small wound and be a little tougher. Once the plants get heavier, Ill need to use something more gentle than fishing wire to support the branches. Does anyone have suggestions?

I also have a Chunky Cinderella that has eleven bladed leaves, and from what Ive read, C99 is derived from Jack Herer, which is part O. Haze, so it must be those Thai or Colombian again.

Oh and I highly suggest to people reading this to go and do some research on old school strains. Pretty damned often they are the backbone of the strains you are growing right this minute! There's a good read on Skunk #1 right here at RIU. Look it up. It makes for some fun reading to learn about the history of what we are growing and smoking.

Update time. I had to return the digi, so I had to use my camera phone today. I may be able to get it back in a few days. Im also gonna purchase one myself thats better come monday, so ill get pics eventually.

Before I say how much they've progressed, I have to say today was one of those god awful days where nothing goes right. Before going to tend to the plants, I culled the known male clones, that I should have done sooner. I obviously spilled multiple dixie cups of soil everywhere. Wee for cleaning up more soil...

Once I get over there to tend to the plants, I accidentally topped one of the purple females colas..grrrrrr....Fuck me running. I took off about 3 nodes of budding growth

I examined the plants, and almost all had recovered from the bad over-watering. Some were actually showing signs of wilt from being underwatered, so I watered almost all of the plants except the TGA gear and Cloud Nine, who were still over-watered at this point. The JTR male is on his last leg..literally. He only has one main cola left and is heavily over-watered still. His root system is shot. I think my best chance to save him is to remove his main cola and clone it.

The Skunk Hazes and Chunky Cindies were the ones showing some wilt, so I gave them a healthy dose of water. Im sure they'll perk up by tomorrow.

Then I began to take measurements of my plants, and I started coming up one Skunk Haze female short. I could have sworn I had 4 skunk haze ladies. So I started freaking out(I was quite high at that time, and still am at this point). I thought about telling my buddy, who lives at the grow location, he had better find out who took the plant before my silent partner found out. Then I thought about just calling the partner to settle things. But the rational part of me said you had better check your notes at home online before jumping to conclusions. Im now thankful to realize that I only had 3 females and 4 males, instead of vice versa. I sure would have made myself look like a fucking piece of shit retard.

The ladies continue to stretch but at a slower rate than before, and nodal growth has been cut in half. Two Chunky Cindies are beginning to form buds now. Im sure the others are right behind their sisters. Here are a couple of pictures of them. These ladies were quite thirsty when I got there as you can see from the droopy leaves.

This lady required no water, and was still a fair bit over-watered. Some leaf loss and lower sideshoots turning brown and semimushy/very wimpy at the end. Ill remember this is a symptom of over-watering in the future. Everyone make a note of this There is virtually no change in the stretch/day between measurings.

Looking at the numbers, you will see the 3 females have brought the stretching to a grinding halt. It went from over 2 inches a day to .6 inches in the last 5 days. They are continuing to pack on nodal growth. I didn't get any pictures of the Skunk Hazes. I was too busy freaking out thinking someone had taken one. The one who was being supported via fishing wire no longer needs it. She's formed a real nice knot where she was bent over, and is sticking that branch straight back up on her own. When I supercropped some sativas on my last grow, they would take two weeks to form a knot on even smaller breaks. This girl can heal herself real easily, and it'll make super-cropping an easy thing to do if I end up having to.

This Satori female has barely stretched in any the last 5 days. When I was inspecting her, it looked like buds would be forming any day. She hasn't put much growth on either, but she's not in a great position in the tent right now, so that might be part of it. Im gonna put her back in the floor the next time I am there.
There are no pictures of her.

Two of the purple females are on the cusps of budding with PurpA I believe is already forming little buds. I dont have any pictures of them unfortunately. These girls have actually overtaken the Chunky Cindies along side the lone Satori female. They've got alot of vigor in them. She's got great lateral branching fairly close to the tops of the colas, so I expect there is a fair amount of Sativa in these girls. They'd be great moms with all that branching out.

The Early Durbans are also looking quite a bit better after being moved into the flower chamber(3 females, 4males?). Before they were on a 24/0 schedule as I was out of timers. It looks like they really are enjoying the darkness. I did finally buy a timer for that tent they used to be in, and of course I buy one with only a two prong slot! Fucking shit grrrr. Now, I have to make another trip to Home Depot. I also moved the rooted clones into there. Im going to take some more clone of the females I definitely dont have rooted clone for. Ill update how new clones do in a week or so. The other bagseeds are being moved outdoors tonight. I hope they'll pick up just like the Durbans did.

I hope everyone following along appreciates such detailed updates. It takes quite awhile to make these updates, but I want to have one of the most detailed grow journals here and want all of you to be able to take something away from it in case you ever grow these strains, or anything else for that matter.

My fungus gnat problem is starting to become a thing of the past. I can now open the tent and not get assaulted by a wave of gnats. I can really get down and work with the plants without fear of swallowing a damned flying bug. Id suggest you all to try out some mosquito dunks if you ever need them.

I think thats all I can think of atm, but theres probably something I am forgetting.

I have O. Haze, got it from The Flying Dutchmen years ago. "Legend" has it that the original Haze is Mexican Acapulco Gold X Colombian Gold X (S. Indian X Thai). Sam can tell you, he gave the genetics to his neighbors living in Oakland. I've crossed it with Peak19 and C99. Such fun, eh?

Cultivators Choice went out of business in the 80's, so these seeds were 20 plus years old when planted. I could have easily had 90% germination, but two of them died from damping off .

20 years old? Wow, surprised they germinated at all. I get those kind of rates but then again I keep mine in cold storage. Ya done good! A tall "pot", 6" or better, is the only way to go. I still use the 20 oz tall styro-cups, use 'em for my veggie garden too.

Im hoping to acquire some even older seeds from my stepdads buddy who has been smoking for 40 years and he's 75. Ive heard he has a jar full of seeds. Im hoping they go way back, and I can get them. It'd be great to grow some of those lost Sativa genetics from back then.

No shit, GET THEM SUCKERS! Keep them in the crisper. I still smoke some awesome Mexican so good genetics is still out there. For some strange reason folks will pass up great bag genetics for crap, only because some pimp has put a cute name on it. Tell ya what, you can do the same thing - get those seeds, hype them up as one of a kind, name them some silly name that conjures up greatness, like Soaring Eagles, and you'll make some money. Don't forget to do the rip off thing, $10/seed, it's just what you have to do to make sales.

Ive already experienced the weak stems you've talked about on one plant. This odd plant grew a flat main cola. The stem isn't round. Its flat. Its already bent over and damaged itself a bit, so it is now being supported via the fishing wire. The fishing wire is very loosely tied, so Im not worried about it damaging it.

Big problem with sativas. Grow best outdoors in a calm, protected area. Use tomato cages for support or drive a bamboo stake into the pot on the perimeter, cut a long piece of women's hosiery into a strip, and wrap the outside of the foliage.

I also have a Chunky Cinderella that has eleven bladed leaves, and from what Ive read, C99 is derived from Jack Herer, which is part O. Haze, so it must be those Thai or Colombian again.

Click to expand...

You'll never know, they're all mutts. I've seen Haze as advertised as originating form Jamaica. You just have to ignore the legends and hype and go for it.

BTW, you are one detailed feller! I used to journal and then said "screw it".

Have fun,
UB

I like the idea of of the womens hoisery for support. It wouldn't be the first time Ive had to buy it, so it wont embarrass me any to grab some haha. Ill grab some stakes when I return to home depot today to get the right type of timer. Thanks for dropping in. Its time to go back to work and move more plants outdoors, feed some outdoor plants, and get those panty hoses

Small update for today. I visited the plants again, and wouldn't you know it almost all of them were thirsty for more water. The Chunky Cindies, Satori, Early Durbans, and the Skunk Hazes were all asking for more, even a JTR female was thirsty. All but the Durbans got about 32 ounces of water yesterday, and I gave them a little bit more than that today. Ill most likely be giving them a feeding in a day or two. They've mostly recovered from the wilting. The tops all look great, but on a couple of Chunky Cindies, a few lower fan leaves were still wilted, and the pots were light again. Its good to know almost all of the plants have completely recovered from the over-watering. They're real demanding bitches. Im gonna have to be feeding and watering them constantly. I do hope the yield comes through in the end.

I went ahead and removed the lone remaining cola of the JTR male. I hope it'll root and I can save him. He wasn't going to make it another day or two, so Ill keep my fingers crossed and hope he roots.

Here are some pics taken with my phone:

I ordered a better digital camera today online. I hope to be able to supply new pics in a week or so. Hopefully, they will be in the full swing of bloom then.

I also ordered some of Cannacopias Lemongrass Thai x Deep Chunk, so I could get some more of Sam's Skunk Haze beans. I dont think Ive ever seen a lemongrass thai grow log, so look for it in the future.

*Second update: I visited the plants again, and gave them all a good feeding of some veg nutes. I made sure to give them more water than last night. I hope it will be enough to last them for more than just a day. This watering every day shit has to stop lol. I did find an easier way to water them. I fill a one gallon jug up full of my feed solution, then I take a long neck funnel that is bendable, and I stick the tip into the saucer and just pour water in until it reaches near the top. I then move onto the next plant, and keep repeating this until they are not thirsty anymore. A couple of the plants blew me away with how fast the water was sucked up. I filled the saucer up on one Skunk Haze, and I was about to move onto the next plant, and before I could even think about moving to the next plant it sucked up all the water I had just given it seconds before.

I also ended up super cropping one of them. This plant has reached 53 inches and had overgrown the lights. I tried to lst it down, but obv I snapped the top. Why again do people lst? All I ever end up doing is supercropping or topping when I try. Both of the other Skunk Hazes had grown or stretched a couple of inches, but only the lone one seems to continues to climb for the ceiling.

I will get some more measurements on the 16th probably as I fully expect to be visiting them again to water.

Oh, and I have to give TGA props on the 3rd Dimension. 14 days in, and the female is forming trichomes on her main colas. Not the leaves, but just the main colas. If I rubbed the stems my fingers would get stuck together! Oh and what a smell. It was so delightful. Very sweet and fruity. I made my friends all smell my fingers..ahahah. Needless to say they all enjoyed it. I cant wait to see how frosty this girl becomes later on.

And we are at Day 16 of flowering now.

Ill only show Day 16, and Day 12 measurements for a quick comparison this time.

These ladies continue to increase their stretching and of course they aren't budding yet. Its not looking like they will not fall into the 8-9 week flowering time suggested by the breeders description, but thats always to be expected regardless of breeders. But who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.

Well this updates numbers bring a surprise. The stretch has doubled from before, while nodal growth has slowed down. The lady that was tied up has healed her wound enough to where I dont need to support the branch anymore. I did supercrop one of the Hazes as her top was nearing the top of the reflector, and the leaves there were all curled over like the dreaded Nitrogen Claw. This is the only spot the clawing has manifested itself aside from another skunk haze who's cola had outgrown the light source as well. It too was super cropped.

Well, I thought she was done stretching, and was going to start flowering soon, but it looks like she has changed her mind after being placed on the ground underneath the light. Virtually no new growth though.

It looks like they've increased their stretch a little from before, but are flowering well. A is a few days further along than B, and C isn't even flowering yet. Hopefully she will join her sisters any day now. Purps are the bottom of the screen.



Here are a couple pics of the Satori Males flowering.

I got my camera today. Weeee! Heres a little game to start out with before the pictures.




Chunky Cinderellas for your enjoyment.



Now onto my lone Satori Female, and a couple pics of the males.



More pics to come in the next post.

Purps below. The one that is the most developed smells f'ing amazing. It smells just like

Here is the purp male. This shows what plants end up looking like when they do not get enough light. He's been moved into the larger tent till he recovers. Ill be putting him back on a 5 gallon bucket in the other tent when he starts looking better.

Here are pics of the Early Durbans. Ever since they went from 24/0 to 12-12 they have exploded in lush new growth. This also has began to happen on some other plants that went from the 24/0 to being in the flowering tent. I dont know how any body can grow plants under 24/0. My plants were struggling very badly and hardly growing and had nutrient deficiencies. The pics will show from old ugly growth to new growth. I didn't get any pics of the worst leaves a bit further down. They look worse than the first two pics, which were the best looking leaves on the plant when they made the change of lighting schedules.

Here are pics of the Jack the Rippers, Cloud Nine, and 3rd Dimension. They are unlabeled because they all look so much alike, I can't figure out which is which later on when reviewing pictures. One female is flowering, and the other isnt yet. The JTR female that hasnt began flowering actually has more resin production than its sister who is already flowering! The stalks and stems twinkle underneath the lights, while the more developed sister doesn't twinkle at all. Crazy.

Here are some Skunk Haze Pics. You'll notice a slight yellowing at the tips of some. Just a tad too much food for them. They can eat alot of food, almost as much as their more Indica counterparts. The next feeding, I will prepare a slightly more mild solution for them.

And finally some group shots to conclude the picture updates.

Insightful hippy stuff below. Read at your own peril.


Everytime I smoke too much Nirvana WW, I tend to have these revelations about my life, or life in general. Too often, these revelations are depressing, but true for many of us out there, but some are like an Eureka moment. Our deepest fears seen clearly before our eyes.

As I was driving down the strip after leaving a party of friends, I saw people for what they really are. They may think they are just out to have some fun with their friends, but in reality, they are looking for someone to be with, whether it be one night or long term. I could see the look of nervousness of everyone's face. I could see how scared they were of rejection if they approached someone. They want companionship but are terrified of rejection so they often dont make a move. Even the few that do make a move, have the same fear and nervousness in them.

Then I realized why people stay in bad relationships. Its already nerve wracking enough to find someone to be with. Why would we want to get rid of all that we know for the unknown? Its a dreadful thought to have to go through it all again if we end a bad relationship, so we end up putting up with it for far too long for our own good.
