Antics Perpetual Learning Experience

Ok, mysterious bud update.

She put it in her wallet, so it flattened it out a bit, but it wasn't a prize winning bud anyways.
Color was just greener in her picture. Probably from goddamn selfie filters.

Trichs look about 5-10% Amber, so decently harvested, but a neglected bud nonetheless. Dried to hell, not sticky at all, and barely a detectable smell of Cannabis. Trichome concentration wasn't bad, either an HPS or LED grow, but not a good enough sample to make any better guess than that.

Potency? No idea. Not sure I want to smoke an unknown bud found floating in someones pocket. I feed my Chinchilla more bud than this in a week. He absolutely loves it, and not to get him high either. He only likes small stems when dry, rarely eats leaves but sometimes he will. He just wants buds. So he gets an unheated tiny bud to snack on, once a day.

And not much weight there either. Cool experiment I guess though.

And if anyone has a weird girlfriend like mine, don't give her your microscope. After mine was done looking at the trichs, she went on to looking at her nail polish, then her fingers, then out come the ladies, and she's looking at her nips under a microscope.

Seriously man. This is the office/PC room/Grow room/Pet room. You don't bust out the ladies in here. WTF.

I would beg to differ. So would Dale. Hahaha!

My wife's ladies are welcome to come out and play anytime!

 

[Antics]

We have several other rooms available for that. I just don't have space for activities in here.

Just got a text from my girlfriend. She works in the dry cleaning business, and they have to check all the pockets before cleaning. Well, she found this in a customer's pocket:

Not really sure what I'm going to do with it, but I do want to crack it open and see if there's any trichomes with my scope. She said there's like none she can see on the outside.

Nice to see people relaxed about it enough where they can leave buds in their pocket and not care.

Normally, I'd return it, but she has found much, much worse "illegal items in small bags" in customer pockets, which are much much more expensive (from what I read), and the owners just tell her to throw it in the garbage.

But I'm curious to see what kind of dirt people are smoking around here.

My father owns and runs a dry cleaning company back in Australia. I worked for him as a young lad. The stuff I found in people pockets was wild. In one bag of jackets there was a jacket with a bar of gold in it.... not the big kind but bigger than a S5 of iPhone6. I returned it and was smart since the bloke was a mob bloke. Never found the green kinda gold though. Your girl must be a good luck charm mate?

Lmfao,antics you have me spinning in laughter over here. Hahahaha I just Harry have to ask mine to partake in some strip tease with me and my ladies in the garden lol

Hi Antics. I just thought Id drop a line to say that I read your entire Strawberry Blue experience. Very impressive turn around after the issues in veg. The size of yours makes me leery for my own Strawberry Blue. lol I cant even imagine my plant getting to that size.

Anyway, very nice. I learned a good deal and Im very impressed with your skills.

Have a good one.

I think she's a little too weird at times. And she didn't smoke or vape anything before doing that.

11 years together, and she still surprises me with weirdness.

Been married 34 years and my wife still amazes me. She is just a small island girl who grew up to be a pretty cool hippie chick.

Dude that's wild, I would have loved to see a gold bar in person, I've never seen one and was able to hold it. Even if I had to return it, it's still really cool. She's found mostly money in pockets. We're in the US here, but she's found US money, Canadian money, She's found Euros, Pounds, She even found rupees from one of her Indian customers. She always sends me pictures of the money, but their policy is to return it to the customers. She might have a bit of luck, I know her Granny is quite lucky when she goes up to the Casino, sometimes winning a few thousand dollars USD.

Lmfao,antics you have me spinning in laughter over here. Hahahaha I just Harry have to ask mine to partake in some strip tease with me and my ladies in the garden lol

I saw this last night but didn't know what it meant, and thought I just smoked a bit too much, but it still doesn't make sense lol. Can you clarify?

I think if I had a better PH meter, and was in soil, I would have had a better yield. I'd honestly expect to see 2 ounces on a good grow with minimal problems, and only a 6 week Veg time. I Veg'd 11 weeks, so the yield was disappointing, but still, the potency kicked my ass. I'm very, very impressed with that, and I'm glad I have 2 clones growing now of SB. I probably won't Veg them too long, but I'd like to see the yield on each clone fall between 14-28 grams.

I trained mine to grow real fat and wide, keep that in mind! I LST my branches to grow straight out, and then up. Changing how long I LST the branches easily changes how wide she gets. So that's all up to you.

I really had only basic growing knowledge from outdoor stuff, I really learned the rest here at 420, so I can't take all the credit, but thank you!

34 years is wild man. Congrats! We're not married, but we're going on 11 years together in a few days.

Communication has been everything, and sharing a variety of interests always helps. She loves the result of the grows, just doesn't like me talking about it since it puts her to sleep lol.

 

[Dutty Panty]

11 years here too. Married 4

 

[Dutty Panty]

She's more crazy and weird now for sure lol.

 

[Growlow]

Yeah I live in the States now. Been with the Mrs for 12 married for 3. What would us fella's do without a good Mrs aye? I know I'd be shit out of luck Finding the bar was pretty cool. I have this draw to gold like no other. Don't have a lot of gold stuff. Just a tooth haha

 

[Antics]

I got a way off topic question for you. I saw you posted about some terpenes in Dan's grow, so I wanted to ask you about mine.

Strawberry Blue is like a week or so into curing, still sitting at 61% or so, and there's a real light hint of coffee. Any ideas? Is that a terpene or just part of the cure?

These are all the terpenes profiles that Cannabis can exhibit. Coffee is one of them, so chances are it is probably the terpenes you are smelling.

Dude right on! Thanks for that. That's going right on my desktop.

It's definitely 100% a coffee aroma. I drink the stuff daily, so I'm familiar with it. It's real light outside of the container, but when you open it, the coffee smell is overpowered by all the other terpenes.

EDIT: I just moved the buds around, and I'm getting a smell something like eucalyptus, but not exactly like it. I really need to study up on all these scents.

 

[Antics]

Might as well update since its been a few days, and things are going pretty good.

Cotton Candy. She's awesome, no major problems or complaints. I'm doing a minor defol every few days keeping things under control. LST is a breeze, and she's just over 6 weeks.

SB Clone #1 Again, awesome. She had a minor def appear early on, but an increase in nutes fixed that. No other problems or complaints. She's going through LST now, and an occasional defol here or there.

SB Clone #2 She was a bit slower than her friend, but still kicking ass. No LST or defol yet on her.

Big Bitch. Branches are all stunted, massive fan leaves blocking light. What a pain in the ass. I'm not sure if I can defol all those fan leaves to get light to her branches. Branches are all there, just piss poor in growth. No new burn on her tips from PH, and no other issues noted.

Dutty can probably give you all the real names of the terpenes, but I figured you'd like to check this out. I did anyway. Lol.

 

[Antics]

Yeah, it was a big help. My girlfriend thought I was going nuts the past few days when I told her it smells a little like coffee.

I really should have bet some money on that one.

I have a Micky Kush pheno that has the most incredible coffee almost tira misu smell. Friggin wild man. Then it flavour starts with an almost espresso flavour that transitions to a very ditinct Skittles back end. Anyone I know who has tried this pheno can't help but trip out when I say both those things because the flavour and smell is so distinct you can't help but know it but can't quite think of it the first time you smoke it. Ride on mate! Yeow

EDIT: I've found the majority of my end product tested (inclding the above mentioned MK pheno) that had coffee aromatic traits had higher levels of Myrcene and equal levels of both Limonene and Caryophyllene. All had a % of cbg higher than 1 but no higher than 1.6. You made me have to go back to my personal database for that info My memory is shithouse

 

[Growlow]

I know I'm blowing up your post right now but one quick little breakdown for those who don't know

Limonene - is typical your citrus aromatics and typically more the types I really enjoy (MK Spacebomb DurbanPoison Dutch Treat)

Linalool - Also citrus though often more floral/sweeter in its smell

Alpha/Beta Pinenes - Just like they sound .. Pine is what these two bring to the table. In my Jack Herer results this fella has been a standout for sure

Myrcene - More of your sweet smokey/musky kinda smells. Real pungent. A lot of Widow crosses I've grown have had high level of Myrcene

Caryophyllene - Pepper and spice. This is high in one of my favourite. Night Nurse. Also found the pepper smell to be similar with Harlequin as she presents a hint of pepper as well.

Hope this is of some help. If I can find my folder my wife has so kindly stored I can give more detail on the therapeutic values of these Terpenes.
