Theowl's nest

Theowl said:

Gave the younguns a shot of comost tea today. Smelling nice and ripe.
The NL has recovered nicely from the suprcrop. Even one branch I thought was going to be a goner. I almost broke the whole thing. But all seems well in the nest.

I still need to pot up the youngsters and give them room to root out. I got these plastic baskets that have holes at even intervals on all sides, even the bottom.
Saw them and saw airpot material. Thank you dollar store!

Was that your first time super cropping?

A few times I have done it really didnt think they were going to come back, Actually took a branch like 70% off hanging on by a thread of plant tissues, I taped it up and it healed just fine. Turned out to be hermie thou. I got it from a unreliable source So i dont think it got stressed and hermied from the technique.

What is supercropping again?

Nah, I've done it before on previous grows, it's just that it actually broke-like broke, and just a few bit of skin holding it on.
Only the one branch I was worried about.

It's been too cold to hook up the computer( I only get signal outside the house, this bitch is a fortress!) but when I can muster the willpower I wanna throw up some quick update pics. Maybe tomorrow, should be warmer.

I'm beginning to see a lot of haziness out of the budding, it's so wispy. Gotta love them sativas. The stretch had better stop soon or I'll have to open up my last resort nestbox. It's much taller and has a smaller footprint. Luckily I have another 250w HPS to use.

You take and pinch the stalk where you want an elbow, to bend it and lower your canopy.
Once you pinch and squish it a little, bend it slowly in the direction you want it(the branch) to lay. Then bend it the other way gently.. Go back and forth until pliable enough to stay put where you want it. But trying to do this without snapping the stem.

BBYY has some pics up of the Maui that he supercropped
It s a page or two back. My pics will be up in the am.

I'm sitting outside of work debating going in.

I went in.

This morning I looked at the kiddos and I've got to say the NL must have new root growth, because she's never looked this healthy and green. Always had a lime green to it's entirety. Must like the soil mix I made up for her.

The nycd's are progressing at a rate that makes me happy and drives me crazy at the same time. I see growth, but hurry up!! May have nute burned two of them.

I only kept two of the SH kids around.
They are looking great and moving along just as fast if not faster than the nycd's

I am dropping the c99xg13 and some BMF and maybe the BSB tonight.
Once germed, I may give these a good veg cycle for a while. Just to let the others get a lil further before I stuff the flower cab.

Looking forward to these strains, I've seen their family
And I'm wanting to do the black/purple strains outdoors also, but we'll see.

I shouldn't be far behind on dropping new seeds. Good think you can move up to another box

Haha, it'll actually be moving down a box. This one only has a footprint of 18"x18" on the outside. 16"x16" on the inside. But yeah it's nice to have the option!

I've still also got another one that's about the same dimensions as my big one, but it's taller than wide. But it leaks light like a sieve. And it's 1/8" metal. So I really have to think before I try and mod it anymore. Think job box like on the back of aflatbed pickup. Which I always thought would be cool to do. Growing in the back of your truck and nobody would see it. Shoot could even put a plexiglass insert for natural lighting.

I dunno.

I put four each of BMF and BSB into germination. One of each had opened up along the seam a little, so I hope they all pop!

So all the kids look fine, save for a burnt edge here or there. The first set of the NYCD is now at ten days above soil.

The second set and the SH are almost catching up in size.
Feed time ! Better start getting organized, before long I'll have more going on than I can remember.

Oh, forgot. Last time it rained, it flooded my shed and one of my old schwag stashboxes was on the ground. When I found it sunk in the mud I pulled it out a d opened it up. Inside was like thirty sprouts just laying there with fuzzy ass roots!
So I took 11 of em and stuck them in a planting tray. They are now a week up out of soil also. Very sativa looking. I'm thinking to take and put them in the woods or something and let em do their thing. It's just bagseed-but it mustve been good because I don't keep schwag seeds anymore unless iT kicks me in the hoo ha.

Its been raining all week. I'll have to come sample yours to know what order to grow mine in

The seed thing happened the time I left the computer in the rain.

You'll know when it's time for our session, for sure.

The bsb and bmf that were split already have a tail!
They weren't waiting for me to germ them, so it's good that I did.
The other three of each are swelling and starting the split.

I really want to get the c99xhaze going too, but space is becoming an issue.
So I'll wait until I pull the NL out of the cab for good.

As soon as I take the rom cuttings and flip them I'll be dropping c99xhaze. The rom should be pain killing so my next one needs to be uplifting but bmf is so tempting. The bb should be uplifting but don't want to take my chance with only two plants to have a female.

Go look in the cave, hc copy and pasted a review on the bmf

Come on back

I'm here man. Just trying to figure where to keep going.

Guess I'll recap: in motion I have; nycd#1 he's the male I selected to keep from that bunch. Nycd#5 is my girlie girl, I'm counting her first day of flower as march 11. That's when I could tell for sure for sure. Then of course the NL is going smoothly now. Also three BMF doing very nicely now(vegging). The BSB (3 left) look to be the sour bubble pheno. G13 haze x c99 are looking weird, the second set of leaves on two of them are micro leaves. Will have to wait and see what happens with her(them). Four arctic express up and chugging along.

All seedlings got uppotted to 1 gallon pots or larger.

The two silver haze in the woods are doing their thing. Won't expect anything out of them till fall. Got a very early start on the outdoors this year. Which is good because I've been wanting to show a plant in full scale LST this year. I do em low and sprawling outside. For some reason, I've never been too keen on the natural growth habits of this particular plant(marijuana).

Hope you all are faring well out there!

Lookin forward to the pics!

Keep going here. I plan to label and post pics of the c99 x haze shortly.

I think I lost my subscription... but I'm back

Got the pics, will post tomorrow

Hey guys. I am beat. These last few weeks have kicked my ass. In a good way.
Work till ya drop, pick yo ass up and do it again. But the checks are worth it

I plucked all the big ass fan leaves off my nycd boy, so he's a funny lookingg dude right now. Just lil branches along the main stalk.

I need to get a pic of the nycd girl up here, calling it 8 days in flower now

Took a little branch off the NL to sample. I've been out again so, it was very nice. Budlets all sticky, a mix of floral and pungency to the odor, and a somewhat skunky flowery taste. Only let it sun dry for a day, kinda wet, but smoked good and gave a great head change.
