Toast's 2016 Indoor/Outdoor Grow Journal

[Lembatoast]

I have a question? Does anybody know what seed bank and strain that can get me that good old 70's triple bagger, permeate a 1/2 a block in all direction, Humbolt Skunk Bud. I thought the Road Kill Skunk I bought last year was going to be the ticket, but that stuff while being exsolent pot smells like really sweet flowers, not like you just it a skunk with your car. I would really appreciate any help you all could give me on my quest to find this strain. Thank You TOAST.

Hey Toast!

All subbed up and caught up.

Super- looking mega lineup as usual

 

[Kushtie]

Violator kush was probably stinkier than any cheese I've had.....double bagged every body in a club knew there was killer weed in the room. Rolling a joint in a hotel room stunk out an entire floor and some of my mates weren't allowed it in the house. It's about as subtle as a brick

I think it's a Hindu kush crossed with Malana or something.

There's an old grower here called Auggie. He basically grew this Skunk in the 70s with legendary Mendo Joe (Sacred Seeds or related) in Humboldt National Park. He was a runner, bringing fertilizers and shit looking after the plants watering them. I can bet he'd know: He's for sure on The Mountain

 

[Lembatoast]

Kushtie that's great I can get Violator Kush seeds right in the valley here so that's an easy one and Con Ill go hit Auggie right now. Long time no see Bapple Hope everything is Jammin are your end glad to have you aboard

 

[Kushtie]

Hope you enjoy VK Lem. Think I've seen a couple of different phenos....one that made long colas and one that was more like toffee apples on cocktail sticks. They weren't lying about buds needing supported!

Is the Pure Kush you were growing just the one I can get from Greenhouse seeds? I hope to try out a bunch more strains this year.

 

[Lembatoast]

Kushtie, it took me a minute to figure out Toffee Apple but I get it and I'm laughing my ass off. The Pure Kush I grow, I got as clones in the Valley ( San Fernando Valley ) so I don't know where the seeds came from. Listen if you want to PM me so we can talk more privately, I have a propasion for you. Get back to me on that.

 

[Lembatoast]

Kushtie, when I got the PK clones I put them straight in the ground, they stunted and I had to clone the Tops and start all over so its amazing I even have that one. But its a goodie.

Wow, sounds interesting....done

Wish I'd taken pics of the toffee apple buds....was pretty funny and it was the kind of smoke that would have me wanting a nap by lunchtime. The autoflower smoke I've got just now is more a late afternoon nap if I get up early

 

[Lembatoast]

Well thing went well for me today. Ha Ha ! It was in the 70's with a good wind so I decided to just put out the bigger plants and keep the babies indoors. I took the larger plants and put them out side to water and went back into take care of the babies. When I was done with them and went back out side I found this:

These five plants were snapped off far down the base. Unsaveable . These are the other ones getting watered:

I changed up the grow room and put the smaller ones in back:

and this is it full:

Just so you don't freak, I propagated the best tops off the five broken stemmed plants. So I now have more plants then I started with this morning. I lost 5 plants and gained 15 clones, so I'm up 10 plants. What a way to screw up. Me and my Charmed Life what do you know? ROTFL Toast

 

[TarheelGrower]

What a bummer! But then again, you found a way to make the best of the situation I like the way to you think!!

 

[Radogast]

I was thinking "Dang, ruined"
THEN I was thinking "I'd have cloned the shit out of those. The bags are right there!"
AND THEN I was thinking "That Lembatoast dude knows this like a quiz problem from Outdoor Gardens 101"

So when you said you cloned them, I thunk "Uhuh: I knew our boy was wicked smart!"

 

[Conradino23]

He's the cloning master

A guy SmokeyMacPot went out of his way to get me this information years ago and I thought I would share it:

The only photoperiod manipulation from years of experiments that offered discernible improvements was this adjustment made for 1 or 2 calendar weeks at the point of maximum flowering rate: Daylength of 21 hours, 36 minutes with a dark period of 12 hours. To accomplish this, you need a 7 day, 24 hour digital timer. During a 7 day calendar week on Earth, the "sun" only cycles 5 times. This permits easily switching back to the regular 12/12 at your discretion. You may want to only alter during peak flower production to stimulate the plant's metabolism. Using this photoperiod throughout the flowering cycle will cause this:

A variety that takes 49 days of 12/12 to mature, won't see 49 - 12 hour dark periods under 21:36/12 until almost 10 calendar weeks have passed.

The total increase in light energy is almost 80%, which will produce larger yields, if all of your other enviromental conditions are kept optimal.

The total increase in flowering period is only 40%, half the potential room for improvement. This means you don't have to be perfect to win out.

Selective application of the 21:36/12 photperiod for only 1 or 2 weeks extends the wait only 2 to 4 Earth days, which makes up the missing 2 complete day and night cycles each week on Planet Ito. This permits the additional light energy to be provided without purchasing additional equipment or overloading existing circuits, which maximizes the existing system's capabilities. The main advantage is that matched with co2 and optimal nutrition, the plants metabolism will increase dramatically. I have only successfully tested this photoperiod for two weeks. The potential for a net increase of 40% over the entire cycle (80% increase in light energy vs. 40% longer wait) is worthwhile. Don't be afraid!

Day 1 - Sunday, 6:00am til Monday, 3:36am
Day 2 - Monday, 3:36pm til Tuesday, 1:12pm
Day 3 - Wednesday, 1:12am til Wednesday, 10:48pm
Day 4 - Thursday, 10:48am til Friday 8:24am
Day 5 - Friday, 8:24pm til Saturday 6:00pm

Just something you should know if you didn't all ready. TOAST

 

[Kushtie]

Inneresting...think I'll keep trying to improve my environment before I try that though. Am off to get a humidifier to see if I can get RH over 30% for starters.

 

[Lembatoast]

It was all most nice today. 80 degrees, still windy just not Gusting 70 mph. I still didn't put the seedlings out, for fear that the Gusts would return:

I am having a massive ITCH attack and its making me CRAZY !!! I am out. TOAST

 

[Conradino23]

Lookin' good, man

 

[TarheelGrower]

Send me some nice weather toast, just keep the wind! The high here today is supposed to be 26, wind chill 15! Think I'll keep my ladies in today haha

 

[Lembatoast]

Today I put all the plants out for the day. It was beautiful. When I put them out in the morning, I put them in specific places for pictures and then forgot to take the pictures before I brought them back in. Thus no pictures. TOAST
