Perpetual Pics

[josh223]

I had mucho difficulty attempting to upload pictures. It took a few days but I think I finally got it. These are from the 29th. I'm going to break the scope out again tonight. It's going to be any day now. Oh yeah, we're getting the house. Should sign papers on Wednesday or Thursday.

This is the Holy Grail Kush, my first SCROG attempt.

Northern Light Blue.

NLS

Here's a couple Blue Bloods. So far I'm pretty impressed by this strain.

What would you estimate the yield will be from your Blue Bloods?

What would you estimate the yield will be from your Blue Bloods?

They went from the aero cloner pretty much into flowering. Between the three, I'd guesstimate 1.25 ozs/cured. These were experimental...I'm moving this week so I was going more for strain selection verses any other trait.

Things shall be getting interesting in the near future. I'm about to go check...the HGK and BC God Buds are right about there. New house means new equipment...

I'm still alive! - I'm starting to harvest. I think I was 50% shy with the Blue Blood weight prediction. It's too late and I'm too tired for much of an update. Expect pics tomorrow.

I do have to say though, the Blue Bloods are really impressive. This is the densest dank I've ever grown. The smell is very intoxicating.

I'm a home owner, received the keys this morning. Unfortunately there's still issues with the electrical. I will be meeting with the local inspector in the morning, talking to his boss and taking lots of pics. I'm no longer with the one company so...I'll be having more upcoming free time.

It's good to hear from you, congrats on the new place. Hope you get all the little issues sorted out.

Don't forget about my purple kush!!

 

[josh223]

Two Pk's and the scrog HGK to go.

The Purple Kush, I think I may have a sub-par genotype. I thought it was Pre-98 Bubba x Black Afghani. In my mind those are mostly Indica. Pics tomorrow, but my Pk's look, at minimum, 50% Sativa. I'm fine with that, just wasn't expecting it.

All the "new" strains are super dense. I'm almost surprised I didn't develope a bud rot issue while I was away.

 

[Radogast]

Best of luck resolving the electrical issues.

May the near future bring you a

Major Step from renting to owning. Sending my warmest house blessings...

Moving, trimming, work...sorry for the absence. I thought I was going to be bearing bad news. While away the mothers got a little crispy. I watered them all right before I left but waited until the day after our return to water again-6 days. I opened the veg tent this morning and thought I had lost three mothers. My heart just sank. Luckily the wasn't the case. The Northern Lights x Skunk #1 is so massive, I was seeing the damage one here as she overshadows most of the others. She has the most damage but I still think she'll make it.

I watered again today this time with full strength Miracle Grow Quick Start. It's supposed to help with shock. I've used it before and can't really complain of the results.

So, all plants are harvested, dried, and just jarred. Here's my rough dry weight guestimate:

BC God Bud-.33 o
NLS-.5 o
Blue Blood, Northern Light Blue, and Royal Purple Kush-.75 o
Holy Grail Kush-4.25 o

I've been sampling on this PK bowl. Wow, I feel it in my head. Thanks again Lester for the recommendation.

I vaped some of the Blue Blood scissor hash. I think I believe the 10% CBD claim. That is some potent medicine. It also is very nice smelling.

I gots to get packing and moving. We have eleven more days before we need to be out.

The Northern Lights x Skunk #1 is so massive, I was seeing the damage one here as she overshadows most of the others. She has the most damage but I still think she'll make it.

The NLSK will make it, believe me, they are so sturdy and rugged that they seriously are almost indestructible. What doesn't kill them, will most certainly make the stronger and more agitated. The more that I agitated them in the last 2 weeks, the thicker and denser the colas and buds became.

Was probably the best thing that happened to her. I'm about the loss of three mothers!

I know you are busy with moving and all, so take it easy and try and not work too hard!

 

[Lester Freeman]

Hey Great update Brotha, I hope the move and all the trimming goes well. I'm also glad to hear your puffing the PK

Be Well and Aloha my friend

 

[josh223]

The last harvest was jarred today. All was dry in the rack, just not mellowed by any form of cure. Al plants were flushed with Clearex for two weeks, one week of ph'd water, followed by 1/2 week of no water or nutes.

I have not sampled the BC God Bud yet. The NLS kinda tastes like a Bounce dryer sheet. PK is super smooth, no expansion. Blue Blood is my fav so far though I'd like to try PK in a spliff.

 

[Radogast]

The way you are handling this move, harvest and grow - YOU ROCK Josh!!!!!

ROCK ON!!!!!!

 

[josh223]

All the plants have been moved. Man, some aren't looking too well. I have them all in the 4 x 4' tent.

My wife and I really got screwed buying this house. I got screwed working for that last company. Long story short, I won't be buying new grow tents or LEDs anytime soon but I did pay off the mrs. wedding band set. That's something to be proud of.

I believe I'll use my 2 x 4' tent as the flowering tent for now. That will be a better footprint for my 600 watt HPS. I should be able to pack it with 60 2 Liters.

After trimming the Porta-SCROG Holy Grail Kush the wife and I decided there was too much popcorn for our tastes. Doing the Sea of Green with minimal veg time seems to be the most efficient, at least for us.

I think Sunday I'll break out a cloning machine and get to it. I'd do it tomorrow but there's a huge parade/car show and it'll take about 2 hrs to travel about a mile. I want to get successful clones from the mothers in Hempys, then flower them out. All future mothers will be in a soilless mix in Smart Pots.

Most likely I'll also be purchasing some new genetics. I have a list of strains nearly 50 deep---so hard to choose. If anyone has a suggestion, now's the time. I'm leaning towards MK Ultra, Atomic Bomb, Larry OG, and Next Generation's Indica dominant Grapefruit. Who knows...I've been holding off waiting for more desirable freebies from Herbies.

I'm about to sample the God Bud before supper. Anyhow, I'm rambling. Take care folks.

 

[PeytonManning]

Mkultra and anything critical would be cool to watch you grow

 

[josh223]

I have considered Barney's Critical Kush and, can't recall the breeder but Critical Jack.

There's already so many great strains and more being released weekly. So many choices and phenotypes. Nearly makes a person's head spin.

 

[PeytonManning]

Yeah It's hard to narrow that kind of list down. Sophie's choice and whatnot

 

[josh223]

Once again I have internet access. We're totally moved, just have a little bit more organising and putting stuff away. I told my wife that the next time I'm moving it will be to the cemetery.

So, a little bit of bad news, I lost the Blue Blood mother plant. Being stressed from lack of water and then the move was just too much for the gal. I'm pretty sad because that is my new favorite strain. Try as I may, I can not think of anything bad to say about it. So I bought a new bean, should be here tomorrow or the next day.

In the mean time I have a cloning machine fired up. I plan on establishing new mothers that are not grown hydroponically.

For now, enjoy some bud porn. This is my Blue Blood.

Glad to have you back and to hear you got moved. I'm dreading moving myself.

Sorry about your blue blood. I've got several in flower and veg. I'm still on the fence with it tbh. Maybe you have a better pheno or I'm just a crappy grower lol. It smells like sour blueberry skittles through flower but I'm not getting that flavor. It probably just needs longer dry/cure time. Mine have all turned out super dense but small bushy plants with smaller yields.
