BlueRhino1947 / Shiskaberry / C99xEucalyptus F2

[SpanglyBoovus]

Hey folks! I'm new here but not new on the net.

I grow organically and these shots are from my current (3rd) grow.

Much improvements in my skills this time around.. Here's a few of my more recent shots. The one in the pink pot is a c99xEuc F2 just started flowering. The 4 small ones are shiskaberry (2 phenos), and the rest are of the BR1947.

All under 430W HPS enhanced spectrum bulb in coir/organics

:cool:

damn!!!!

[Dr.Smitty]

Very very nice Spang :D

[Rockdog840]

Looking good Spang. Hows the new Spang cross doing.

[LdyLunatic]

Looking great....looking forward to seeing more from your room :cool:

[SpanglyBoovus]

thanks all

my "Sour Spangly"s are doing really well. 100% germ rate for me, all are above ground and very happy and green looking :D

Hopefully I find a gem or two heheh

There will be harvest shots of the BR1947 which comes down tomorrow, i'll have the pics up probably tomorrow night or thursday sometime. :grow:

[Rockdog840]

Right on mang. You should start a grow thread on the your Sour Spangly. I want PICS:grow:

[SpanglyBoovus]

Well I took a shot of the SourSpanglys for ya RockDog.

Here's the harvest shots from this afternoon!

I had to chop one of my shiskaberries, the morphed and weird one that was growing one leaf only and very odd and slow growth.. i found a couple bananas forming on it so down she goes. No other plants show bananas so im pretty sure it's a bad genes or something.. the shiskaberry I used to make seeds with is NOT the same phenotype though. :cool:

[SpanglyBoovus]

check it out!!

Here's an update on the rest of me garden

The picture of the 3 blue rhinos are my ongoing experiment. This is what each of them has:

bottom half of container:

**Base+
1 cup worm castings
1tsp dolomite lime
1 small tsp green sand
1 tsp POM 555
1 tsp high P guano


Here's whats different about each:

Plant 1: Add to that mix, 1 cup sheep manure and 1tsp Marine Cuisine

Plant 2: Add to that mix 1 tsp marine cuisine

Plant 3: Add to that mix 1 cup sheep manure


**Base contains:
15 litres of coco coir puffed with seaweed water
2 cups sheep manure
2 cups worm castings
1 tsp marine cuisine
6L cactus potting mix (sandy)
3L bark chips
8L perlite


The picture of the shiskaberry plant is the one that has its three lower branches pollinated with my SourBubble male :cool: That shiskaberry is looking to be my favorite of all the shiskas I have. It's definitely going to be the biggest producer, even with though its been seeded.

Then theres a couple pics of the C99 x Eucalyptus F2 that I have going, she looks just fantastic and smells very.. weed-like... haha, she's looking like she should be a decent yeild too, and very healthy, she's my favorite plant so far for taking pictures of because she looks so gorgeous!

The last picture is of my batwing passionflower vine. It's a really cool and fast growing plant.. :D I just transplanted it from a clone (that took forever to root!) into the pot and gave it some organics treatment and some superthrive, man does it love that! BOOM It shot the top three leaves out in the last week! :o

[SpanglyBoovus]

heres some shots I took of the BR1947 that I cut down a week ago.
I've already smoked a lot of her but this is what I've got left.. mmm its good stuff.. just puffed one :D

[LdyLunatic]

great shots....thanks for sharing :)

LOVE those dried pics....i can almost smell the buds;)

[rolanterroy]

:peaceman: Stuff be lookin' primo there buddy! :D

[gorilla]

[Rockdog840]

Nice job mang. Them buds look tasty. Love the Sour Spangly:D

[SpanglyBoovus]

update

[SpanglyBoovus]

a few more

[Dr.Smitty]

Dude you are doing those genetics justice ...... excellent! :D

[rolanterroy]

Great Spangly my good man; you can't imagine how good it makes me feel that you are growin' some wicked buds bro! Rock on amigo! :D

- REvster

[Rockdog840]

Nice pics Spang. Looks like you got Rev's organics down pat:D . Everything looks green and happy.:greatjob:

[4 Dragons]

Those buds look nice and tasty!

[SpanglyBoovus]

Thank you everyone!!

and let me just say this..

they smell better than they look! :D

[The Brother's Grunt]

Very nice bud shots my friend. ;)

[SpanglyBoovus]

chopped a few more today. 3 BR1947 and 1 shiskaberry.

[Lungus]

Another fine looking haul there Spang, I want to hear the smoke report on the Shiskaberry.:D

[CB]

very nice look'n indeed :D

br1947 looks cool :cool:

grow on

[The Brother's Grunt]

Nice shots SB. What do you think your gonna get for a final weight on those ladies. 2thumbs

[SpanglyBoovus]

well, they were small plants to start with.. when they started flowering they were 3 inch tall clones. :eek: I'd say about 10-14 grams each on the BR1947 and about 8-10 on the shiskaberry.

Not bad considering how small they were to start flowering and at 55 days harvest time. The shiskaberry should go about another week but I don't want to risk its herming in the room with some younger plants. Plus I really cant wait to smoke some of the shiskaberry because I've never tried it before. hahah

[SpanglyBoovus]

heheh I took a few more..:D

[The Brother's Grunt]

That Shiskaberry looks yummy mang. Whats the smoke like? Damn that looks good. ;)

[SpanglyBoovus]

That Shiskaberry looks yummy mang. Whats the smoke like? Damn that looks good. ;)

I don't know yet dude! I've never tried Shiskaberry yet! It smells absolutely delicious though! Deep musty berry smell.. Thick smelling. :smoke1:

[MoHo]

Momma Jo's Shiska x Nevilles Haze that won the Gold Leaf knocked me on my ass with one hit the other night. I am a lightweight, but this stuff floored me with a single toke. :D

Me thinks you're gonna like the Shisk just fine, Spang.

[SpanglyBoovus]

Momma Jo won with Shiska x Nevelles Haze?! YUM! that would kick ass! No wonder it won! :D

I puffed a really early doobie today of the shiskaberry. What a treat it was! I can't wait till it's cured completely! :D

[SpanglyBoovus]

WORD UP PEEPS!:D

[gorilla]

Holy crap, Lookin' awesome spangly.

Good job dude.

[SpanglyBoovus]

thanks duder!

the shiskaberry is impressing the shit out of me by how it looks and smells, and the test doobies seem to point in a great trippy indica high :D

The plant I seeded with sourbubble pollen is really starting to shine now too, and Im almost positive that I made the correct choice of the two phenos for parenthood. :p

I'm really really looking forward to seeing the results of my trained shiskaberry pictured above. 1 week into flowering and there's no sign of buds yet though.:eek: but that's okay. She can take all the time she needs to lay down those roots in that huge new pot of hers and find all the goodies I left her in there. :D If things go according to plan, she will be a very nice bushy plant indeed. By the way, while talking about training shiskaberries, I have a clone with two tops in veg that I started training early. By the time it goes into flower it should be ready to BOOM like a monster bush from hell :cool:!!

[Dr.Smitty]

Looking real good there Spang.... quick question .. do you always train your plants ?

[SpanglyBoovus]

Looking real good there Spang.... quick question .. do you always train your plants ?

No sir. the last few crops were grown out naturally.

A while back when I grew some CHerry Hemmingway and a LemonSkunk, I trained the lemonskunk and experimented with topping/fimming/cutback on the cherry hemmingways.

I decided that overall, training was the most efficient way to grow. Now since my flowering room is emptying and i will only have a few plants in there while the rest of my seedlings/clones veg to a decent size, I am going to train the ones I will have flowering because I've got the space and light to do so.. hopefully that shiskaberry will turn out to yeild awesome!

[Dr.Smitty]

Right arm Spang and good thinking bro. ;)

[SpanglyBoovus]

haha i cant stop taking pics.

[ZenLunatic]

Fuggin lovely Spangly mang! Grow on brother, looking fantastic !

Cheers and good green mojo flyin at ya!

zL

[CB]

I'm dig'n that c99 cross fer sure :eek:

some suger on that girl wow

nice grow'n

[SpanglyBoovus]

thanks folks.

The c99 x Eucalyptus F2 is looking very killer. Im a little upset I didn't take any clones :eek: that's okay though Ive got several more of them that I can pop if it turns out to be a favorite. ;) hahah! Very neat smell on that one... mysterious and sweet. :rolleyes: VERY photogenic plant too. :D

[Thoth]

Hey spangly.

wow! That c99 x Eucalyptus sure is gorgeous. :eek: And the budshots are making my mouth water.. :p



Edit! LOL! I'm responding to page 1 here. .... What a stoner. :D

Nevermind me... :bananna:

[SpanglyBoovus]

Hey spangly.

wow! That c99 x Eucalyptus sure is gorgeous. :eek: And the budshots are making my mouth water.. :p

Thanks a lot mang!! All organics here, unless you believe that Fox Farms Marine Cuisine is not organic, then I'm "almost" all organic..

[SpanglyBoovus]

heheheh.

pic 1 & 2
Shiskaberry plant that has been trained and topped. The main event for now.. she gets prime lighting position for her whole life. she shares the room with two other clones the same age as her (off to the sides) and the c99 x Euc F2.

pic 3
BR1947 - 60 days. Was cut at 62 days. This is a test to see the differences between when i was harvesting (55 days) and a week longer.. results to come after dry and cured. it was DEFINITELY done though.. it was just ready to herm on me, I could tell.. it was screaming at me to cut it down by day 62.

Pic 4, 5 & 6
C99 x Eucalyptus F2. This plant is awesome. I cant say enough good things, it's getting incredibly fat now, these pics were taken at day 48 which was on the 29th of december. Today they are HUGE.. The buds have doubled in size and density, these are fat, trichome covered buds that smell awesome. I'm really impressed with these genes they look nice and grow nice and are a big yeilder by the looks of things... theyve got at least a week and a half left maybe more so by the time its done i think my yeilds are going to be great!!

Pic 7
One of the bondage shiskaberry's sisters who shares the light off to the side of the "main event"

Pic 8 & 9
The only "hermy pheno" shiskaberry that made it the full 63 days without herming too bad. It did produce a couple bananas but it held off till around day 60 to start so I let it finish.


I also chopped down the mother shiska (non hermy pheno) that I used to cross with my sourbubble male to make some "Sour Berry" seeds. I didnt take any pics of her though (d'oh). There will be bud pics of her soon though!

[SpanglyBoovus]

Pic 1
Shiskaberry at 63 days. Same plant as pictured above and in picture 3 of this post.

Pic 2
Shiskaberry at 63 days, this is the picture of my mom that i used to make seed as mentioned above! I DID take a picture! shes lovely and smells better than the hermy pheno, i like the way she grows more too. Should be fun to see her babies.

Pic 3
Same plant as in pic 1 and in the post above... enough said.

Pic 4
A bottle of maxicrop for comparison. That is the same plant as pictured in pic 1 and 3 and in the post above. Behind it you can see the BR1947 from the above post, its hanging for a day longer than the shiska in the pic.

[Thoth]

Buds look sweet spangly dude.

When the BR is done drying, take some budshots for me? :p I want to compare, I'll do the same.

[SpanglyBoovus]

Hey thoth, I've been through a few crops of BR1947 now, I've got a few jars that are into curing so I can take some shots basically any time. ;)

[SpanglyBoovus]

Well i had better take some pics of the buds before they are all gone.. :eek: They're goin quick! heheeh

heres some grow shots.. ive run into a bit of a problem this time around.. starting with the c99 x Euc F2 which began burning, I have gone wrong somewhere since and am having the same problem on some newer plants (shiskaberries) as you can see in some of the pics.. they are still BOOMING the buds out and trichs, but they don't look as nice as I'd like them to look. :( Ah well, we live and we learn, these plants are promising to be my biggest yeilds per plant yet. :D

[SpanglyBoovus]

heheh here's those harvested shots.. good thing I took them, there's not much left of any of them is there!! hahaha Very good stuff though, i love smoking it. the pictures are all labelled. the fluffy shiska (pic 1) with low yeild had seeds on its lower branches thats why it was not very big, but i just finished smoking the first tester of her and she is killer potent and tasty. Crossed with my sour bubble I think will make a really nice cross. The hermy free pheno is DEFINITELY better than the herm pheno shiskaberry that I had. Mmmm they are all good though. BR1947 is still preferred over either shiskaberry pheno for me though. :D

[The Brother's Grunt]

Nice pics man of both growing plants and dry bud shots. ;)

[Dooby420]

nice lookin nugs :D

[SpanglyBoovus]

Thanks dooby!

[MoHo]

Goddamn, spang. Looking yummy, esp. those Shiska buds.

[SpanglyBoovus]

moho the shiska looks really really pleasing to the eye.. it smells not bad, the taste is pleasing and ultrasmooth, but the high is just not my favorite on her. I'll see how this run goes with them, but chances are that after they come off the shiska will be removed from my veg chamber and no more shiskas will be flowered, although I am interested in what the Shiskaberry x Sourbubble turns out like.

[SpanglyBoovus]

well, i took some more pics. here we are.

[Thoth]

Rock on, Spangly. Check out that trained plant, it reminds me of mine. :D That worked out well for ya.

All your plants and buds are real nice.

:peace:

[SpanglyBoovus]

he he he

i forgot to throw this one up yesterday.

the c99 x Eucalyptus F2 came down yesterday at day 64.
