Stanks Go Perpetual In 2018!

Caught up finally, plants are looking gooood, way better than mine. I think I screwed up my seedling mix. What's is stanks soil btw? Is that a secret recipe!? My plants on day 13 are about halfway as "caught up" as yours....kinda bummed about that ! Will be following along if you don't mind!

Hey LaquerHead, glad to have you join us! Feel free to grab a chair and a snack!

Stank Soil.....thats my homemade soil. If we were on the old site, you could find my link on the blog and see what I put in it but the blogs aren't working yet. When I started growing.....Ms Stank and I talked about all the different options and both being avid outdoor veggie gardeners, we agreed we wanted a water only, living organic soil. We don't feed any synthetic nutes.....just water with aerated compost teas. We also don't have to do any flushing and this grow I have basically thrown away the pH pen. We don't pH and we don't measure PPM. Just throw some water or ACT on the plants every few days. In the big pots, the girls can go about 5 days between water. In the smaller pots, it takes about 3 days. We wanted a low maintenance soil that allows us the freedom to leave for up to a week if we wanted to and the Stank Soil gives us just that. Its still a work in progress, as I expect it to be for up to another year or two with little tweaks here and there but we are pretty happy with it so far.

No worries about keeping up, we aren't going anywhere. We will be dropping new beans every 2 weeks or so, so there will always be stuff in different phases of growth. Next up is a Northern Lights getting dropped tomorrow
 
And just for clarification....its #2 that looks much more unhappy now than in the above pic.....and #1 looks much happier now than in this picture.
The #2 Nukehead above appears to be a good bit darker green towards the top of the plant then the bottom say 1/3rd. Could it need some more nitrogen possibly?
 
I wanted to ask a quick question in this thread. All butt kissing aside, there is a LOT of knowledge floating around with the members who follow this thread. Probably a simple question to answer so here goes. I was gifted a seed and told it was a Thin Mints strain. It is in flower now and the fan leaves are a dark dark purple, the buds a bright green, and they are white with frost. Shit, I'm being long winded again. I tried to do some research on the Thin Mint strain but everything seems to come back to Girl Scout Cookies. Is Thin Mints the same thing as Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies?

And just a quick FYI........my wife was chuckling reading about the porn movie stuff and mentioned that Chris Scorpio was a great porn actor name!!! Remember, she said it.
 
Oh, and while I am hijacking the thread, has anyone come across a seed site in the US that offers Blue Dream seeds? I really want to grow this strain but just cannot shake my paranoia about ordering from outside the USA. Also is it true that Blue Dream has a tendency to hermaphrodite more then most strains?

Thin Mint is a pheno of GSC. It sounds pretty! Can you post a pic of it?

We haven't heard about herms being more common in Blue Dream than other strains. I hope its not true! Van is more familiar with seed banks...I am sure he will post a response here shortly for you :)

It certainly could. As I said above, I think I ran it in the small pot a bit longer based off of the growth of the plant. The leaves were huge...node were tight as hell and so there was a lot of vegetation for sure.

I will give it til tomorrow to start drawing some more of what it needs out of the soil or its going to get a bit of ACT with some Cal-Mag for a little good measure. If it still doesn't improve, it will get some fish emulsion fert and I know it will fix just about any deficiency
 
Van I think the #2 plant will make a comeback. Might take a little time
Thank brother, I know she will....I just hate seeing a girl that looked so great a week ago start to struggle. She will bounce back....just a case of when.
 
I'm a half arsed photographer under perfect lighting conditions. At night in my bathroom.......not sure these show much detail but let's hope. I couldn't get the flash to flash taking the photo of the side of the plant.

My bathroom is NOT pink. That's from the grow light.


These will finish their 3rd week of flowering (when pistils showed) on Tuesday.
 
Beez, check your PM/Conversations.....I am sending you one of the only american seed banks I could find that has Blue Dream seeds.

Oh fantastic! Thank you man. I'll go see if I can figure out how to access Conversations. I didn't even know the site had conversations....LOL
 
Gorgeous looking plant there Beez! She is perdy for sure! What ever she is, she looks frosty and yummy to me! I wanna smoke her!!

I only had that one seed of this strain so I am glad I took a cutting before putting it into flower. I am sure it's possible for a plant to look really fantastic and the flowers turn out to be worthless. But here's hoping that isn't the case.
 
Please pardon the intrusion. :thanks:
