Thanks bro! This has been a hell of a grow, and I'm almost glad it's over, LOL. Mostly because now I get my meds, and they've been a long time coming. I was medicated off of one spliff for a good 3 hours. I have a monster tolerance, and have never had a buzz last that long, friggin amazing, and quite a beautiful thing IMO. I just finished up a second spliff, and I would have normally smoked 4-5 by now. I feel the body goes away after 2 hours which is incredibly long I think, but it lingers in your head like your favorite song quite a bit longer. It's hard not to have a huge retarded looking smile hanging on your face after smoking this stuff. I can close my eyes, and tracers are blaring from one side of my vision to the other.
I said earlier that the only strain that I've seen get half as frosty as the OBR was C99. It has alot of the same effects on the head, and body too. I will say it's not at strong in the body, and definitely doesn't have close to the duration of effect. It doesn't give that pleasant, drunk, warm feeling either or have the POW at first. I would love to make a cross of the two of them, and maybe see if i could add some weight to the OBR without fucking up the buzz. Hell, I think just working with the OBR you could really improve the yield just by some training. I don't think a MainLine would work great, but working her into an upward circle would maybe work. Or leaning her back into a ScrOG would be fun too.
I have to agree with you GdG, GAGE ROCKS IT bro! They cram every drop of Dank into their seeds as possible, love those guys! I just can't say enough about the OBR, and can't wait to pop the Miss Colombia beans I have. I know they'll be something really special too. That would be an insane cross to the OBR as well, LOL! I wouldn't let myself take anymore from a single plant early, it all comes down tomorrow. I have a tube worth of trim I'm gonna blast tonight from the flowers that came off early. It looks as if it was packed in powdered sugar, can't wait.
All you guys have been a big influence on the way I grow, and I just want to THANK every last guy here one more time! From the organic teas, to the led's, every one of you guys kick ass! Thanks for all the help, and encouragement through the last grow, it's been exciting, LOL! It's just about 4:20, and I already have the last OBR spliff rolled. This ones to the crew, keep it green boys!
Myco

Big props myco. You rocked it brother! You're going to love that Bay 11...very underrated.

That's so great to hear my friend. I am happy that you are getting the medicine you need. You deserve it. Enjoy.

I am getting purple trichs on my AH x PCK. Looks so weird till you get it under a scope. Also got a lot of amber on my LVBK and some on the DB but they need two weeks to swell still. Do you look for amber on sugar leaves or calyxes? My sugars are always red by the time the I pull...

That's a good question. I do the same and go by calyxes. Leaves always get amber first IME.

Thanks for stopping in guys. Honestly, I've never thought to check trichs on the leafs. I never wanted to smoke the leafs, so I go by the calyx's on the flowers. It's good to see that so many people think the Bay11 is an underrated strain. I've seen a couple grows of it, and most folks never have herm issues from what I've heard. Not sure what happened with mine. I will say it's a frosty strain, and the flowers swell up on it nicely. I have a whole new appreciation as to what Dank is because of 'THE' OBR though. I got so fucked up off that stuff yesterday I completely forgot I had another small branch upstairs drying that I hung in the garden. I now have 2 spliffs, and a bowl of OBR#2 to toke on when I harvest my plants.
Purple trichs huh, sounds pretty damn cool bro. That will make some really interesting concentrates. It sounds like your outdoor season will be very productive for you, glad to hear that.
I'll take some pics of the progression throughout the day, and post em later. Once again guys, THANK YOU for all the kind words, and support. It really does mean the world to me. I can't tell you guys how much you fuckin rock!! Peace & love. Myco

Yes, they are not at all that expensive. I love my lamp as well. Ive been waiting a little more than two months now and still no sign of them -.-, its incredible in a bad way. Southamerica ARG, I think Ive gotten a hang of cloning. Just doing it in a coffee cup with a piece of aluminium foil to cover out the light. Im buying stuff to build a bubble cloner now and will probably try some Hemby Bucketing afterwards to see a difference in their growing. But again, dont know what nutes to go with, there are only local products from small manufacturers. Ill just read the newer posts youve gotten now

hahaha what a treat I was in for when going through the latest pagest of your journal. Real nicely done, Myco! hhehehehe. I have a question: I remember you saying earlier, that you werent sure to push on the other lights for the flowering phase. Did you finally decide to do so or not? Cant tell from the pictures. Incredible how they filled out!

Great to see you Ben! I have to admit, I'm complete;ly drunk, and a little stoned out pof my mind on scissor hash, LOL! That's exactly how i take clones most of the time. Seems to work alirught for me. I tried goin fancy with my OBR's, and Bay11's, and fucked em all up with my bucket cloner. I did end up turning both panels on 190W, and blasted them girls. After they were in full swing of flower they loved the extra intensity, and responded well. I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear your light never came. I have a good friend in S. Africa, and he waited forever for some beans, and counted them lost, and they ended up coming. Hopefully the same will happen for you bro. I hope you figure out your nute situation. I would try to just amend my soil as much as possible, and go from there. Teas are a pretty chaep way to go as well, and definitely get the job done. I've seen some people do really impressive grows with Hempy's bro, best of luck with that. Back to trimming.

LOL purple trichs are odd, from a distance it makes the bud look mouldy as it mixes with the other colors... Had me staring through the scope for hours to figure it out and make sure all is good!

Myco.....whose C99 do you favor?

Hey guys, sorry for the absence. Harvesting is such a pain in the dick! It's all done though, and I already have some ice hash processed. I'm curing out the rest of my trim for oil. Puffin on an OBR spliff this morning loaded with powdery scissor hash. It's weird, you hate all that trimming, but after it's done you're so relieved, and have to just smile like an asshole about it all. As you guys know I haven't harvested a damn thing in soooo long. Having all those meds hanging up drying is such a fuckin relief, I slept 6 hours last night. Woke up this morning, and went right to rollin up some Dank, LOL! It's gonna be a killer day guys!
Purple trichs would have me all fucked up too Hamish. That's cool as hell though, I would love to see that. Your outdoor season looks like it was such a success for you bro. The LVBK looks as if it will be some extremely frosty goodness. All the DB looks amazing too, I know you love your DB. I can't wait to see you rockin all the testers, I know you're gonna end up with miles of Dank bro.
I prefer the C99 from G-13 Labs because of her stout, and vigorous growth, but I want to try C99 from Mosca too. I would love to cross a C99 to the OBR! I'm telling you guys, it would be fuckin epic! You get the right phenos together there, and you would have something really special. (OBR x C99, D.O.C. 'Death of Cindy')
I've been smoking the shit out of the Bay11 scissor hash too, and it will blow your mind as well. Just a chemy/fruit yummy that has you lickin your lips, for real. The leaves screamed indie to me, but the effect is mostly sat dom, WTF?! It has decent body to it, but it hits me hard upstairs, and is really pleasant. Lasts a good while too! I would never grow it again because of the herm issues, but I'm glad I did once, you know. It's not a racy sativa, just a smile maker I guess. Some sats make me too damn antsy, and anxious, this is nothing like that. More of an uplifter that you can smoke whenever you want, and it has enough body to keep you comfortable, and doing shit. It reminds me a lot of Skunk#1, but with the chemy tones, and a little more punch. I'm not sure if the extra punch is really what I need with a kid coming, cause I have the feeling going heavy with this stuff will put you right down.
I can't wait to get to the oil, but I want the trim to have a really nice cure to it. Until I get to that I have some bubble, and scissor hash. I also picked up a zip of those kushy nugs I had before so I keep my hands off of my stuff. I can't find a single damn seed in this bag, which is pissin me off! I love how much of a breeze it was to trim up the OBR. It was just a couple of snips, and the flower was done, and everything you cut off was covered in trichs. I didn't get a ton of scissor hash, but I will get a ton of oil. Top shelf, killer oil I'll have to be careful with. I've smoked some of the OBR flowers(uncured of course), and a little of the scissor hash as well with a friend of mine. He told me right away it was some of the strongest smoke he's every had the pleasure of enjoying. Commenting on the taste, and immediate slam to the head, and body. He left about 2 hours later, and told me before he walked out the door he still had a nice buzz. It's suppose to be 70 degrees where I am today. Time to get out of this damn house, and take a doobie cruise! All day, every day! Take care guys. Peace & Love. Myco

pictures ?

I had a small family crisis when I started trimming, and ended up having to run out, and take care of that. I came back, and had my head up my ass the whole time, and never took a single pic during harvest. I'll take a bunch of the flowers drying, and after they're dried too. I'll also get some of the oil I'll be making. Every time I get some Happy in my life, there is a completely fucked up event that counter balances any joy I might be feeling. Oh well, I loaded up a play list on the mp3 player, and I'm going out for that doobie cruise. I'll get those pics up as soon as I get back. I miss my friend!

Youve given my such a desire to buy the XGS >.< My seeds are still not here, Im still wainting with my hopes up though. Two months is not that much, they will probably get here by the time I could have planted and harvested them ^^ Myco, man I have a question. With a kid on the way, if I understand correctly, how do you plan to go about the smoking, the less functional memory and slower movements? Or do you find that it does not make much of a difference for you? I ask, not because of the obvious responsibility issues, but because it is going to be something you will want to remember all of. Im not trying to step on your toes at all, but more looking for some inspiration and good ideas.

Oh and another question to all of you experienced growers: Is Gage really worth the buck? It's quite expensive, and regular seeds that is. Ive seen that it may be good for the plant not to be feminized and that they are all F1 seeds. Were I to buy a 10/12 bag from them, would I be guaranteed to find a strain that I would want to keep forever? Im just trying to look through their branding and marketing strategies. Thanks, and sorry Myco for asking a somewhat out-of-topic question.

Hell yes on the Gage. I think I can speak for Myco on this one.....Myco is a very responsible person. He won't be sparking up anytime that he has to be there fully for his daughter. He is beyond an experienced smoker and knows what's up. I'm not jumping on you benbud. He'll remember everything. Trust me.

If you know how hard they work the price makes sense mate. Wirth every penny, quality control is through the roof. I am testing for them and I can tell you they will NOT release a strain that is not stable and performs as advertised. Out of 4 kinds tested, I think one might make it to the market. It is all DANK but other testers had small issues so they send me a message saying they found a small issue, then they apologize, then they send different beans.

So they spend a lot of money on the time and space needed to keep breeding, they pay postage on all the test packs, run their own forum, and they have their own shop www.bankofgage.co.uk. You can get their gear much cheaper direct from them. But anyhow, have a look around, Gage is not one of the expensive companies. I can link you to a 900 dollar pack of seeds to prove my point.

Buying Gage is like buying a Mercedes S class. You pay more, but you know where the money went the second you get in...

Very well said and it's the pure truth.

I know Gandalf, I was not trying to question responsibility in any way, more interested in remembering the best of moments, the first real poop, first laugh, and all those fun things that are worth remembering and at no cost worth losing. And about Gage, god damn it. I must look into getting some once the mail gets back to normal. Last seed order from 6th Jan is still underway, so it would be a bit headless to place a new order atm. And a real hassle to sprout ten/twelve to find fems, and clone all fems, to finally pick one. At least it is with such little growing space. But I want to have the best of the best. Have a nice sunday.
