Mostly Blue, But Other Stuff Too

Lookin great maen

 

[Weaselcracker]

Super nice. You have more pics of the red Mandarin?

 

[Spitz]

I will definitely have bud pics. Im hoping I don’t have plant pics. That would mean momma trimmed the last one up. If I do, it will be after an extended dark period! Lol. @Weaselcracker

I may have over-dried the darker Red Mandarin. Had her in a closed box and inside a cool closet with the door closed. After 7 days, momma said she looked pretty dry. I may line 2 or 3 sides of my drying box with panda film. They’ll be cut from stems and placed in a jar with a hygrometer. It’s about 3/4 of the plant. The other 1/4 is in a bag in the fridge. I hope to get those perfect. Fingers crossed. It’s Tough leaving town on short notice.

Im super excited about the DJ short Blueberries. All 3 are perfect replicas of each other with awesome lavender and deep green colors. I picked up 3 free of his FLO with my order. They moved way up in my lineup. Same parents... just different crosses and back crosses of the offspring.

The White Widow from seed is kicking into gear. The Grinspoon was topped at the 1st node. Her leaves almost look Indica. I know what she’ll grow into though and I expect those skinny leaves in another set or two. I plan to flower just a branch off her when she’s mature. Not looking forward to babysitting her for 8 weeks or so. DP Blueberry is flowering. Nice plant but I’m not super excited. Hopefully she’s a grower and not a show er...

pics soon when I get back to the house...

peace peeps

That reminds me I meant to ask- didn’t you grow a Dr Grinspoon a couple years ago?

 

[Spitz]

I’ve grown about 7 so far. A couple of real nice ones, 1 “feather duster” I carried to harvest, and a few to the compost bin from “sativa runaway”. Once it goes into flower, it stretches for about 6 weeks. After that, it’s only another 7 or 8 weeks to harvest!

 

[Weaselcracker]

It sounds like a great strain. I would like to grow it someday for sure. Are you growing them all from purchased seed?

 

[Spitz]

They have all been from Barney’s seeds. I’ve never run a clone. I acquired my first souvenirs quite some time ago. The first couple 3 packs provided some nice plants. The current (relatively recent) 5 pack has produced 3 hideous looking plants so far. They definitely tweaked their breeding. All whispy With no real bud formation. I’ve grown some airy sativa, but nothing like these. If I get my 4th consecutive plant like that, I’m going to try curing in some Some cobs.

 

[Weaselcracker]

I remember that the seeds were not available for quite a long time. And then they finally got them back... Conspiracy theories would be easy to come up with.

The 1st Red Mandarine from the box is in a jar at 48%RH. Uggh... The 1/4 in the fridge needs another week or so. If it works out, that may be my new drying method.

A couple of quick pics...
This is the 2nd (green) Red Mandarin

she’s in the bud box. The Bubblegum is about done. I can’t believe how fast this girl finishes. I took one of her sisters about 4 weeks longer with no real gain.

And last but not least... Dutch Passion Blueberry 1

Lots of updates this weekend. First is the 2 harvested Red Mandarins. This girl was over dried and rehydrated. 1/4 of her was dried perfectly in the fridge over 2 weeks. Burped from 70 to 62 and then it disappeared! Lol. Guess that’s a good thing. Weighed up just under 2.5oz without the proper dried bud. Guessing close to 3oz total. I’ll make sure to weigh up all the second.

Wow! Those purples are gorgeous. Congrats on the chop down.
They are some sparkling nugs.
This sounds wierd. But give them a sniff and tell me what it's like.
I'm drooling over here

Thanks @Squiggle for the kind words. The red ones smell all things “citrus”. It’s mostly orange and lemon with a fuel background. It’s quite pleasant and far from what I consider “cat piss-diesel-skunk”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ever searching for that latter stank.

The veg area finally got some attention. Plants all looked horrible suffering from every possible mistake. It’s been pretty busy lately and they’ve been neglected. It’s kind of “what I do” to young plants. They’ve been pruned, up-potted, and had their 1st proper feeding since planting.

first 2 are the 3 DJ Blueberries. Last is the Dutch Passion clone Dr Grinspoon on the right.

Here’s a visit of the flower tents...

First up is the 2x4 powered by a 350W Budget LED. There are 2 Bubblegum (1 in coco and 1 DWC). The coco girl is done and she’ll be getting 24-36 hrs of darkness soon. The DWC girl is about 3 weeks out. This plant finishes FAST and frosty. I’ve grown 5 or 6 of her clones out. I had a hunch I was “holding her back” by my lazy man method of growing. The DWC girl has the same bud structure and leaf “taco-ing” I have been seeing. That was my reasoning to run 1 in DWC. I’m convinced I was getting the full 80% from her I expect. I don’t have the time to shoot any higher than that. I wish I would have run 1 or 2 in organic soil. Who knows, maybe I’ll reveg a plant I made the conscious decision to let go. Fml.. a couple of photos of the THSeeds Bubblegums. The DWC one is greener/less mature

I’m not loving this 1st Dutch Passion Blueberry. It is as “leggy” as some 14week sativas I’ve run. I’ve got to pull her out and prune her up. Bud production will be small. It’s going to be an exact copy of the last DP Blueberry I harvested a few months ago. Good product, just not what I’m looking for. I’ll hang onto her clone until she’s sampled for sure. Need to get clones cut of the DJ BBs to get the 1st 3 flowering. I’m going to have some tent room if I get a male or two. Thinking about another 12/12 seed to drop. The 12/12 White Widow is the small girl in there. DPBB1 is the leggy lady taking up half my tent.

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

Looking fantastically fit brother.
Happy daze

Pulled the coco Bubblegum for a day (or 3) of darkness. I’ll grab some pics of her tonight. She might be the prettiest plant I’ve grown. Her DWC sister is a couple weeks out. Here is a snap of her in the dark:

I have taken 2 clones from DJBB4. I don’t have great expectations with one of them. It might be a cm long. Lol. DJBB4 will go into the BG coco pot after a good flush this weekend. Good times... Peace Peeps!

 

[Weaselcracker]

She’s sure a pretty one Spitz.

 

[Spitz]

Thanks WC. This is a Coco Bubblegum clone that’s been in the dark for 36 hrs. About to cut her up now. This is the nicest girl I’ve grown in a while. Funny how a journal will do that to you. It’s the perfect size and shape... she’s perfect in every way.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Wow.

 

[Spitz]

The DJBB4 is a male. Uggh! I’d throw some pics up, but meh...

The Bubblegum harvested about 10 days ago is still pretty wet. I pulled her to air out for a few on the deck. She’ll go back in the fridge soon. Tough to believe I’m letting this plant go.

I made my 1st run of bubble hash too. It’s outside drying as well. Pictures to follow
