The auto critical+ was the easiest plant I've grown. Quick and a nice yielder. Wife isn't a big fan because she has a stronger taste compared to the Sweet Seeds Ice Cool (which was a low yielding pain in the ass to manicure). The Ice Cool does have a great flavor though. Almost like a menthol cigarette. I'm doing photo plants on my next grow and may start them in some solo cups between my current grow in the next few days. That way when my current autos finish I'll be ready to transplant.

5/15/2016 Today the blueberry got put down for their 48hr nap so a got a some photo's of them. I still have two pineapples left to finish up this grow then i will be throwing the clones in for veg. I got the Strawberry in jars now and have been burping them every few hours for the curing process. The Blueberry has a very pungent smell to it this time around, smells like blueberry's with a hint of skunk to it. Really looking forward to trying this batch out.

Here is the photo's of the Blueberry i took this morning.. Happy Growing My Friends!!

Good evening Growers. Well i got the Blueberry yanked Sunday and got them hanging. I still have Pineapple Haze in flowering and should be ready very soon. I had to end up using the YO-YO technique on the Pineapple do to the buds are getting so dense and heavy. Strawberry is about dry enough to smoke, have it in mason jars and have been burping them on a daily. I got 230 grams off both strawberry's this go around witch I'm good with from two plants, should get way more off the Blueberry & Pineapple. Looking forward to harvesting the Pineapple Haze here real soon so stay tuned.


Here is a few photo's of the Blueberry right before they got yanked.

Congrats on the harvest. Mine will be falling here in about a week. Will be passing by your way the second weekend in June. It's a whirlwind tour. Wish I had time to hook up with you to swap some samples and have a taste test.

Good day Growers. Well it won't be long for the Pineapple Haze, i would say a few more day's and they will be ready for their 48hr nap. After that I'm going to do the super clean on the tent and grow room to get it ready for the next batch of clones going in. Got busy today and did a lot of topping on the clones as well as doing more LTS on them. Here is some photo's before they got topped again and more LTS. Soon as the Pineapple is done and tent and room is cleaned these baby girls are ready to go under the 1000w mh. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, and Happy Growing My Friends!!

Good day growers.. Five day's ago the Haze got pulled and hung as a whole plant. Today i got the Pineapple haze chopped and hanging and the room is smelling lovely. Should be another day or to and will be ready to jar. I think i got a hell of a yield off two plants of the pineapple. I really like this strain do to it's very easy to manicure, and easy to grow. The strain it's self is my favorite with the flavor and stone it has to it like no other. I also got the room and tent cleaned and the clones is in and doing their thing. Looking forward to sharing the outcome of these girls with you all as well.. Happy Growing My Friends!!


Here is a few photo's of the Pineapple Haze Hanging.

Next batch of clones in the tent and get n busy.

Good morning growers. Just wanted to jump in here and give a quick update on the clones. I have been topping & LTS the hell out of the girls and everyone seems to be happy. I'm thinking about another week and i will be flipping them to 12/12 to get them started into flowering. I have really been enjoying the joy of the last grow, Puff Puff Pass..LOL
Ive been hitting them with the same nutes as i did on the last grow, these girls are going to be some monsters i have a feeling.
Here is a few pic's of them that i took yesterday. Happy growing My Friends!!

Good day Growers... Thought i would jump on and give a quick update on the grow. The girls are starting to flower out nicely for me. Started hitting them with 2 tbs of Tiger Bloom and and 2 tbs of big bloom and they are really taking off good into flowering. I was having some issue with some gnats but got some yellow sticky pads and it seem to clear them up.. The 4x4 tent is full as full can be, i even had to hang one of my fans to make more room..LOL Hope everyone has a good 4th of July. Happy Growing My Friends!!


Here is a few photos i took yesterday..

Good day Growers.. Today i had the girls out watering them and thought i would jump on and give a quick update on the clones. A few weeks back i was getting a bad gnat problem and had to get yellow sticky pads for each pot. I also did a soil clean with 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water to kill any larva that may have been in the soil. When watering today i see no signs of any gnats witch makes me a happy camper. The girls are really starting to flower out and stretch. Have been using 2tbs of FF Big Bloom with 2tbs of Tiger Bloom every other watering and everyone seems to be happy. Here is a few photos i took today when feeding them..

The bugs still under control? Hopefully they have not returned.

Yes i have them gone now Farside. I let the soil dry out and put sticky insect pads in each pot. Then i even went for the larva if there was any in the soil with 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water. All seems good now with the gnat issue. I think it's just a summer thing! Yesterday i had to use some bamboo to tie the Strawberry Kush up some as the buds really make her sag, but all and all the grow is doing really good this go around.

Here is a few updated photo's a took a few day's ago. Happy Growing!!

Nice. Good to hear you are pest free. Would hate to see that beautiful crop and hard work get ruined.

Re: Smokers420 - Ocean Forest Soil Grow - Strawberry Kush - Etc - Journal - October 2

Evening growers. Tonight i thought i would breakout a Nug of some blueberry and try it out for sleep issues i have. I must say this strain works very well for me for sleep and has a very nice mellow blueberry flavor that is not harsh what so ever. Thought i would share a photo of the nug i was toking on tonight.. Happy Growing My Friends Bed Time For Me!!

Re: Smokers420 - Ocean Forest Soil Grow - Strawberry Kush - Etc - Journal - October 2

Good day growers. Today is week 5 into flowering and i can't ask for better looking plants. Nice to have all the gnats gone as well, they was a big pain in my ass but i won..LOL
Today i had the girls out giving them a drink with 2 tbs of ff big bloom along with 2tbs of tiger bloom per gal.
Today is the last day i will be hitting the strawberry kush with nutes as i have about three more weeks till they should be about ready to harvest.
Blueberry is next then comes pineapple haze. Everything seems to be going good with this batch. I have to say this batch of clones look better then the last two grows.
Just bringing the girls out today to water them had my arms all sticky and smelling funky witch puts a smile on my face. The trichomes is really coming on strong, and really starting to get that nice sparkle to the buds. Temps has been running okay but would like to have it a little lower, but it's not seeming to hurt them what so ever. Here is a few photo's a took today when they was getting their drink. Hope everyone is havIng a great weekend.

Happy Growing My Friends!!

Good day growers!! Today i was admiring the lady's and thought i would take a few pics of them to share. They all seem to be very healthy and flowering out very nicely and starting to swell up nice as well. Think this time I'm going to cut back on all nutes and just flush with water the rest of the way in this grow. Been cutting back on the watering as well, going from every two days to three or four on some. Really starting to see the milkiness on the Strawberry coming on at around 35% should be about ready in two more weeks. Well hope everyone had a great weekend.. Happy Growing My Friends!!

Very nice, Smokers. That's going to be a good haul. How much cloudy and/or amber do you look for in a harvest? Different stages for different strains/phenos?

You got some trimming time coming soon.

 

[farside05]

Re: Smokers420 - Ocean Forest Soil Grow - Strawberry Kush - Etc - Journal - October 2

Looking good my friend. I should be harvesting at about the same time you are.

Good Day Ghetto. I have found with the haze strains the sweet spot is around 70/30 and on the Strawberry and Blueberry i wait till the top sack on the trichome glads are completely milky then it's time to harvest. If you want a more of a body buzz from your plants you would want to let them get about 30% amber on your trichomes for most strains. Kind of nice to do that on some of your plants but i like a good taste and head buzz as well, so i like to do both methods for my grows that way you have the best of both worlds. Yes your right i do have some trimming to do here soon, last harvest my hand was sore from trimming..LOL

Looking good my friend. I should be harvesting at about the same time you are.

Thanks dude, i was thinking we might be close this time on our harvest times. Looking at next week for the Strawberry Kush, Blueberry and Pineapple Haze is not far behind with maybe a few weeks more..
