The GreenSanta Grow

BlueSage2, kind of ready but I am not (the cutting i had of this one flowered in the veg cabinet so that's it!)



SpaceGrin (aka Dr.Grinspoon X Spacebomb), Day 72:


Shark buds drying ... Got Resin ?


ZionEaze drying:


Cheese, coming down today. I fucked up with this one so no need to show the whole plant she is ok simply very small for being in a 10 gals container...


ZionEaze, coming down in the next couple days...


That's it, Happy Growing RIU

A few more pics of SpaceGrin... I am not sure whether to keep this cut around or what. I am attached to it for many different reasons but she is no fun to trim and yields poorly. The pros are that she was a volunteer in the garden, a cross of DR.G that takes only 60-80 days to flower as opposed to 120+ days while keeping the original smell and high of DR.G, the smell is to die for and usually she gets covered with trichs ... It didnt get as frosty this time. I had her under the Kessil so that might be why.

Anyway, it doesnt hurt to keep her kicking around for now but I am tempted to move on. I think only Psuagro would like me to keep her around!! I dont think my friends really appreciate the genetic on that one, for them, pot is pot...


The male Chemo I used was really at the end of it's life when I used up the pollen and it showed because my respect only yielded 4 seeds and the SpaceGrin only yielded 4 as well... so yeah... those seeds are precious!! I started the 4 (Chemo X Respect) a few days ago, just about to pop out! I call this cross Crisco! I will wait for the (Chemo X SpaceGrin) but there might be a wicked keeper in those seeds as well!


Yet another ZionEaze, if you like stinky skunky perfumy weed, you would love this cross! so far every zioneaze I have grown had a great smell of both the Revolution and the Cheese #1, with the Cheese skunky smell always taking over but definitely a different smell than the Cheese alone. Revolution is a very stinky strain as well. This one didnt yield big buds but still a healthy crop of oily resinous buds. I ll start chopping her today. I ll post some more pics tomorrow as I have another ZionEaze that will be coming down and the other one is looking even more special!


I have become so addicted to growing males and creating new strains of my own, the next on the list will be Pennywise male crossed with most of my keepers! Stay tuned!

Horticulturist, great work!

If DG doesn't wow you anymore(or ever??) I say let her go GS!!!!................I'll get over it............you've done some great breeding projects with it BUT You need to get that specific (pussy willow) pheno from the get-go to understand it's allure in the market.

Keep the pics coming.....and be safe friend

I'm a big fan of DG...I'll be sad to see her go! I can always appreciate quality over quantity

I can`t keep up!! I'll have to do to a run of mostly 12/12 from seed.

Room1 is not looking great, most plants won't amount to much because they didnt have enough roots at transplant and they all went straight into budding which I have found doesnt work nearly as well with clones. The smallest are seeds but they were in their 16oz containers far too long so I am worry they will grow nothing but a small cola.


The PennyWise is looking ok but it didnt stretch at all which makes me think something is going on ... she didnt like the topdress or something... anyway she is still looking fine today I fed her a little fish fertilizer and seaweed fertilizer. I did that with the SpaceChemo and it seems to have gotten a lusher green overnight.


The ZionEaze I was chopping the last couple days ... really shitty plant to trim and way too many small buds. So many buds went in the hash pile coze they were not worth trimming ... as you can see the quality is there though and the smell is very strong.


However, this other ZionEaze that I started to trim today is very stellar, same great smell, similar resin content but the buds are much bigger/denser. (I know they are not big at all but it's a much better size than the previous ZionEaze for bag appeal) You can see some HashTips too I tried to zoom right in so you guys can see. I still think it's more of a bleach than anything else but once it dries out you can barely tell which nugs had them.



Happy New Year and All The Best to you all stoners!!

The brightest, deepest most remarkable colors come from not giving up too easily or quickly.

from 7:36, interesting talk about leaves

So what are your guys thoughts on HashTips ? bleach or truly a hash tips? Anyway I got my shark that also has them ... I have been using my lights full strength recently I might have to back them off... could have been strain related too. See my most recent post for better pics of HashTips.

Shark, this one has no nanners ... just as I am growing the clone one last time! Oh well...l I am getting tired of this one ... My PennyWise will easily reach higher CBD content. This plant didnt do so well this time around but normally my cuttings of Shark would yield massive buds very easily.


Revolution... the last seed I had, .. in fact this plant was outside for a while in the summer, I brought her back in after she showed sex outside and revegged her, she was topped to nothing at the time and I didnt veg her long enough before placing back into flowering. Too bad because I really like this strain, the last one I grew had nanners, this one had none whatsoever with the same great smell. I wish my cross ZionEaze with the male revolution would have more this smell than the skunky smell from Cheese. Anyway This beauty is ready to come down at day 50, quite impressive. Last one I grew was fantastic smoke, great for bed time it was pretty strong that way and great for socializing if you arent tired to start with.



Room2 ... lots of 12/12 from seed in there as well as Senora Ampora (CBD) and my pennywise #2 which I didnt clone because I needed to get plants in there and didnt want to stress her, ... I ll make seeds with her anyway.


Chemo


BlueSage, the one that I overwatered as soon as I placed in the budding room and she never recovered ... really nice nugs on her now though.


SpaceChemo ... this clone wasnt ready to go in the budding room at transplant but still is gonna yield some fine cannabis, only not a lot of it!!


Happy Growing Stoners

Looks like hash tips to me!

Yepsir I concur. Those look like hash tips for sure.


I love the finishing colors of all your plants.

That is just bleaching, sir.
Your pistils are just turning their natural colors for harvest, despite the lack of chlorophyll at the tip of the bud.
Hash tips were a marketing ploy by Hydroponics Hut, to sell their shitty LED's, and don't really exist.

BlueSage2 , ... I think she ll be a better smoke than the BlueSage1 unfortunately I only have the cut for BlueSage1 and I won't clone her again. This weed smell really bad in the jar, its a good bad smell only not my style. I prefer fruitier strains. Its out of question to even attempt revegging this baby as she is pretty much ready to die!!


Remember how I overwatered her or simply didnt like the transplant before going in the budding room?


Well she still turned out ok, I have a theory that when you fuck up it's best to just let things go!!


GreenSanta

I changed my mind, this BlueSage2 is worth saving ... or trying anyway. The smell is very pungent and it has nice resin content.

It doesnt look too promising but I left lots of popcorn buds on her so we'll see. The stalk was already damaged, it cracked ... I can't remember if she was from seed or a clone from another one I have grown... Anyway I thought I'd show you how I attempt revegging my plants. Keep in mind I dont want to use a lot of space when I do it so I am VERY aggressive on the transplant and take most of the root ball off of them. If you desperately want to save a plant, I would recommend being very gentle and not prune too much root and repot in a bigger container.



I didnt add more soil afterward I simply water and tapped the soil down around to root so that the whole stalk is shallow. I covered one up in the past the the plant started rotting from the bottom up ... anyway this plant is pretty much ready to die so it will be a miracle if she makes it. Oh yeah don't forget mycos at transplant! always.

While I was at it with the camera I decided to show you how I have been transplanting recently, It's really nice way to do it I really like it. I don't ever have to deal with containers anymore, as soon as a plant is being harvested I re-use the container right away for the next plant going in the room.



As you can see on the pics above there isnt much of a root mass because I grow small plants in big container.

Anyway pics are in order ... I add 1/3 of fresh recycled/re-ammended supersoil and the whole root mass goes back on top.



This one is a small 5'' REVOLUTION X RESPECT (REVS) I just transplanted her using the same method and she goes in the flower room tonight so tomorrow will be day one. I am looking forward to see if she will amount to a decent size plant but I can't wait to try out this cross so the bigger one shown above will be vegged and this one bud bud bud.


A nice pipe from a local artist, I only use it for bubble!

This one is a Chemo from Jordan of the Island, really nice plants I never veg this strain enough... a few more days before I chop her.


SpaceChemo, amazing how the same cut can have different looking buds and different smell when grown differently. I mean I dont know what I did different other than she ran out of nitrogen WAY early... the smoke is gonna be amazing, ... a few more days for that one as well.


PennyWise#2, already beating myself up for not taking a clone!! I ll def make seeds with her I might even go through the freezer to see if I can find some old pollen from revolution or spacebomb.


Room2, as you can see it looks pretty empty in there right now, (plant-matter wise!!) but within 2 weeks when the 12/12 from seed start picking up the pace it's gonna be so crowded!! I moved the SpaceChemo under the FERO light coze I think she was a bit too big and too close to the AF600. One thing I have noticed is when the AF600s are full strength, plants need to adjust or grow under them from the start I think the SpaceChemo was shocked with too much lighting I could be wrong.


Happy Growing everyone!
GreenSanta

SpaceChemo! This plant is always so much fun to photo-shoot! This clone was barely rooted when I transplanted her so I am not gonna lie, the yield is shitty on that one. But the quality is up there! This cutting is becoming very precious to me, the smell in the jar as it cures is unreal goodness, a great 50-50 mix of the sweetness and caramelness of SpaceBomb and the putridness of Chemo. Not to mention the colours, does she ever put on a show late in flowering or what!!?



By the way, in case you are not really following, the big plant in the right bottom corner is a nice big SpaceChemo (same cutting) she is going to be the biggest one I have grown of this cutting and she kind of bounced back last night since I moved her under less intense lighting and gave her a little feed... maybe she was just hungry!?

Some more pics of the nugs drying ... this plant is unreal I can't wait to see what my big girl will do in room2 right now, she is pretty fat!! anyway the trim from this cut is unreal for hash and when the buds are dry they are just like straight resin!! I ll let you be the judge of that!!



Grown partly on the side bench (meaning not getting prime lighting) for the first half and finished under the AF600 from A51



This is as resinous I as have ever grown and this SpaceChemo cutting is my #1 cut!!!

SpaceChemo looks fucking stellar brother

Thanks puffenuff, the yield is pretty lame though!! I actually pulled a few plants out of the grow room in the last few days, plants that I had transplanted and placed in the budding room the same day, they just get stunted and stay short and unhealthy. It worked a few times but for the most part it's a waste of my time. It works ok with seeds but when they are cutting they really need time in their final container before going into budding.

Anyway room2 is loaded with 12/12 from seed. Last night I took out a Agent Chemo that was going to become a half oz plant and I planted 2 baby Dr.Grinspoon X BlueSage instead. I am pretty sure them seeds are feminised.

I might take another plant out of room1 one today, another spacechemo that wasnt vegged and won't amount to anything substantial.

I gotta say though I have started many Dr.Grinspoon crosses and I am bit worried about plants hermiing on me so it's not impossible that I ll have to kill plants later into budding. Risky but it could pay off!!

Ill post a few pics of what room1 looks like soon ... but I am starting to think I should use room1 as a veg room and move the AF600s in room2, I wonder if that d be too hot but I just have a hard time keeping up since I am not doing so much 12/12 from seed. I could use the tent to finish plants like I used to.

blablabla I have nothing to do this morning

room2 looks kind of empty right now, ... I really gotta figure things out so that I can have 8-10 plants like this one every cycle.


She's my SpaceChemo, btw, can anyone (hyroot, psuagro...!!!) tell me if this simply looks like a cal-mag def? hopefully anyway I gave her some more yesterday i just hope she doesnt start fading too much too early!!


Here is my SpaceGrin, I have decided to keep this cutting around for a little while longer, I am noticing she has some potential to bulk up some weight, I ll veg one for a while and grow a really thick bush and see what comes out. The bag appeal of this strain is unreal if you dont mind smaller nugs, smell is very pleasant lemon sumac ...


It feels like my cross of Revolution and Respect might have brought back some ruderalis in the genepool, I assume each strain (Respect and Revolution) have ruderalis in their genetic to increase CBD content but I could be wrong... Anyway one of them I had placed in the budding room to sex and topped/transplanted back to veg tent just kept on flowering, ... I cut all the flowers hoping that it will revert back to vegging but it looks like she is not going to make it. If that's the case I won't bother growing more of this cross. See how this other one is just not getting that boost of growth under 12 hours of light.


In the tent you can see my 3 main keepers for now, SpaceGrin (Spacebomb X Dr.Grinspoon), Respect, and SpaceChemo (Spacebomb X Chemo)


I am trying something new here I planted a couple seed of (Shark X Dr.Grinspoon) hoping for some hybrid vigor and 2 massive female I am also hoping that crossing the Shark with an old school sativa will increase that CBD content but it's also risky because both strain have tendencies to hermi. I dont know how old are the seeds they could actually be Shark X with spacegrin. Anyway, I took some of the top layer off the plant before planting the seeds and as soon as they show sex I will top dress with more supersoil. The plant is almost done trimming and I will simply cut the stalk low before the top dress.


Another Star in the garden right now my PennyWise #2 which has not been cloned!! Sad news too my male is not looking like it will give a lot of pollen...


Senora Ampero, this one I have a cutting and I am seeing here that I will have to veg her for a long time for better results


Empty room2 ...
