Nev haze x black widow.. getting there. About to fatten up.. but getting wet here.. I've got a portable pergola cover during rain and nights, keeping her dry at moment.. didn't expect to get this far, worst case, I know that I'll get some hash at the very least..

PotChimp · Apr 13, 2019

Man good info there

I might try growing them under a 600 watt Agrosun (1/2 MH and 1/2 HPS). I was thinking that I used too much N when I saw leaf claw like that on Hazes in the past.

This tent's pretty much packed; so's my veg tent. Trouble's a-brewin' here too. :lot-o-toke:

I'll fit 'em in somewhere.....

Mr. Krip · Apr 15, 2019

You're not getting any sympathy from me, Brother! :sorry:

I'm over-run, too!

I spent the weekend culling clones from the veg tent and, since I have that sponsored grow going in the main tent, I setup my old 2'x4'x5' to flower a couple of IHG Platinum Kush Breath that are both growing into the lights after 16 days of 12/12, so I was tying down colas to buy some space there.

Plus, I just started the breeding program and trying to sex four different strains for that and, of course, had to clone everything that's being sexed in the breeding cabinet.

I gotta get some of these strains flowered out so I can cull the non-keepers and get some space back! :rolleyes:

PotChimp · Apr 15, 2019

Sounds like you got a monkey on your back!
I wouldn't know anything about that though, being the casual grower that I am. :battingeyelashes:

I gotta clean my 6th grow unit out and start it back up. I'm getting an itchy trigger finger on starting the next round of my GDP breeding project, and nothing's on the chop list for more than a week. I'm putting my DrG and Chocolate Thai plants in where those plants were at, but all four of my Neville's Haze seedlings will be growing so I can't use that space.
I'll get pics up as soon as I can; right now I gotta >>>>> :lot-o-toke:

yours truly,
the grower who gets no chimpathy

It don't look too good :straightface:

but here's the ad pic for Dr Greenthumbz Panama Red, which I may order in the next month or so, along with his G13, which he claims is the original Nevil's cut:

I've grown a few of those before :cheesygrinsmiley:

I'm gonna look into it a little more before I order the beans 'cause they're not cheap.

Dankman_420 · Apr 16, 2019

How's the smoke from the Panama red

PotChimp · Apr 16, 2019

Oh no I meant I've grown a few plants that wound up looking like that!

I've grown Ace Seeds Panama Red before, though. I didn't do a good job of growing it, so the smoke wasn't very impressive.

Dankman_420 · Apr 16, 2019

I've never smoked it. Looks cool though. Thought I remembered reading that it had low THC levels. But I could be wrong about it

Mr. Krip · Apr 16, 2019

Your Chocolate Thai is looking stacked for a plant that's supposed to have "sparse" buds.

That Panama Red, OTOH, looks pretty sparse & fluffy to me, though! :confused:

PotChimp · Apr 17, 2019

Everything I've chopped in the past month is taking forever to dry, so I added airflow to my drying closet (similar to your DIY drying box with odor control, Mr. Krip). My light reflector is air cooled, so I leave one end of it open and attach 8" duct to the other end that runs to the plenum box I use for my inline fan. I have three 6" flex duct passive intakes to that tent, one of which I put a 4" reducer on and ran 4" duct off it to my drying closet. It looks like I increased the airflow a lot.
I'm doing a breeding project with GDP, and I did a 3 node mother and 3 node father cross. I wanted to plant 12 seeds of it to see if the trait passed on to the offspring, but I've only found one viable seed so far, if that seed actually is viable (a possibility I thought might happen when I did the cross). If I don't find more of them, one thing I'm going to do when I start that grow is germinate more seeds of the purple GDP mothers I pollinated to increase my chance of finding a better father. Another thing I'm giving a lot of thought to is germinating some R4 or Rafael seeds (CBD strains). But I'm not sure yet..... :hmmmm:

All 3 of the Chocolate Thais grew had pretty sweet buds. Not super fluffy like I was expecting. Not ultra dense or anything, but they are impressive buds!

Gonna give them a smoke today sometime.

Cheers,

PotChimp · Apr 17, 2019

One of the reasons I redid my drying closet is because I wanted to do the same with this X-Mas Bud and it's not drying fast enough

Won't be today though; maybe tomorrow.
The two things I was gonna ask about Chocolate Thai is how close the smell is to chocolate and about what percent stretch did you have to deal with in bloom?

PotChimp · Apr 18, 2019

My problem isn't as bad as I thought, luckily. I opened the tent the other night to look, and both GHT#1s and my 818GDP are ready for chop. All four of my X-Mas Bud plants are close too. Been really busy, but I'll try to get some pics up later.

PotChimp · Apr 19, 2019

Spoke too soon! I looked in on my clones and some of 'em need to be moved out, so the space I gained by putting other plants into bloom I just lost..... :straightface:

One of the plants I moved was the Chocolate Thai (under a 400 watt HPS). I'm gonna repot right off the bat to help with the size, unlike this Dr. Grinspoon (7 weeks from seed today):

Man, these Neville's Haze leaves look awful wide:

Hope I didn't get f(redacted)ked up the A(redacted)hole when I bought these seeds. :hmmmm:

Mr. Krip · Apr 19, 2019

Plants look good, Brother! I'm sure those haze seedlings will outgrow the crinkled leaves!

PotChimp · Apr 19, 2019

I tried to tell that to my f(redacted)ked A(redacted)hole, but all I got back was a Pffttttt!!!! sound and some wet freckles!

Seriously though, I agree with you. It's too early to tell.

It's done; I'm just getting greedy but there's no more white hairs coming out and it's yellowing up big time. Here's the other four X-Mas Bud plants in my second grow; they're probably ready too:
