White Russian x's

[dredank]

Last harvest i crossed a few strains, I had a white russian male that i crossed so far with hindu kush, skunk#1, blackberry{black dom x blueberry}, and apollo 11, so far i have germinated some skunk crossings and a few kush, here are some of the skunk#1 x white russian @ day2 not too clear, im sorry:( , but next photo shoot when they start to develop a little more I will make sure they are clear!, This journal will just be of Skunk#1 x White Russian and Hindu Kush x White Russian, the other seeds are still not done

[dredank]

At the moment they are under 120 watt floro with some other clones, an im feeding them water from tap, once they get a few nodes though then i am going to feed them probably miricle gro all purpose 12-4-8 and once they start blooming im going to tigerbloom 2-8-4 and i have canna PK 13/14 but not sure how to use it, i always burn my plants with it, if anyone knows how much of this to use per plant?, But i might just use allmix soil if my buddie gets me it

[dredank]

anyone ever heard of white russian being crossed with skunk#1 or hindu Kush?

[dredank]

Well i got some new gals in the rooms nowhere they go: front row left, WW, top left White russian, 2nd row on the left both white russians,then middle front, white russian, top row 2nd to right hindu kush 1 week from the big chop, in front of that WW, back row right, WW, and last but certainly not least front row right, the momma russian

All but the hindu kush, and the two bigger russians are just starting to bloom, the bigger russians are ~starting week 2

[dredank]

this is quite a different looking scene, also got some youngins in here. the twisted tall one up front is a clone off this big sweet tooth4 cross, next to that is another white russian, no preflowers yet (im not sure to keep vegging or just bloom it, it has about 6 nodes and is like 4 inches tall), then next to that front row 2nd from right, blackberry 7th week, next to that is another white russian first week, then back row left is apollo 11 ~6th week, and next to that is a sweet tooth4 cross from seed. hope everyone can follow these past two posts, i still got bronchitis and am drinking the codeine syrup and am a little tipsy:D

[dredank]

well here a look at whats goin down in my neck of the woods today. First pic is bloom room 2 then its my skunk#1 white russian cross, then 2 original hazes if one is male im sexing it! then bloom room 1 with one last blackberry ripening in the right corner there. there is also A11 in room 1 hidin between those curved beast sweet tooths. I'll get better individual pic when i get some new batt's

[dredank]

here a closer look at the sweet tooth in bloom, ill put up pics of the mother of this bad boy as soon as i get some batteries. she is lookin amazing outside, turnin purple!

[LdyLunatic]

looking GREAT so far dredank 2thumbs

[peakguy]

Must be a problem for you to figure out just what you are gonna smoke on any given day, given all the variety you have. Nice problem to have.
peace

[dredank]

thanks for the positive vibes. Its like living ina candy shop choosing what to smoke, I mix 'em all the time, one of my favorite salad bowls is mix some hindu kush, with some ice, and a touch of WW. I LOVE IT! but i gotta admit, it is a task working with all these different strains, but im on a constant mission to find the best high:D :bong1 :bong1 :eat:

[peakguy]

So Dankster, tell me a bit about the Ice plant. How has she behaved? I have heard good things about the smoke, but not much about how much trouble she is to raise.
Do you keep journals on all your different plants, or do you just play it by ear and figure it out as you go? I tend to write stuff down as I don't trust myself to remember when I did what to whom. :confused:
peace

[dredank]

I tend to do it more by ear, all I write down is the day she starts blooming. And ice behaved perfect, I definitly reccomend this plant, im thinking about getting some seeds from Nirvana see how those comnpare to the clone form I got from a medical club in Santa barbara. She is just so covered with trichomes with the strongest smell, and the taste is very sweet when you exhale. Ill put up some pics of the top cola when its dry, here it is just before the chop. and some pics of her all trimmed up. Just a few more days before its all dry now. Very good herb. One thing though as she starts round the 6th week the bottom branches loose strengh and just hang down to the rim of the pot, I didnt even tie them up, just let them hang and watch the nugs swell:D

I didnt feed her too much ferts either, just some tigerbloom here and there, mostly about 1.5 liters of water whenever soil was dry on top. No major pruning involved either, just let her be herself:D

[dredank]

heres the top cola so far, almost ready to cure. Its hard to get a clear shot when the battery is basically dead and your rushing, sorry bout that, but its clear enough to see how frosty it is, great smoke definitly one of my favorites

[peakguy]

looks good dankster, looking forward to the smoke report. How long did the Ice take to finish? How tall did she get? I kinda have her on my long list of strains to try. Was she inside or out?

[dredank]

I got her from a medical club and she was ready to bloom so I didnt even veg at all, she was ~6 inches then. She took ~58 days to bloom, and was kinda short, but I have grown this strain one time before and she was not short at all, but I vegged for ~2 months:hmmmm: it was a bad move, but thats a different story:offtopic: . Back to how tall she was, I cant find any pics of the whole plant at harvest, but here is the blackberry, ice was ~2 inches taller, and alot bushier. And she was indoor. I would like to try ice outside someday seems it would do good:grow:. I suggest you get ice, she some very quality:bong:

[arnold layne]

those buds look delicious.
yet another strain for me to try......

[Mr Burns]

That plant to me, is the perfect height. That's just what I'm trying to achieve but it looks like I may just be above that. Say 6-10 inches.

Nice pic against the door. You see so many pictures with nothing to gauge the height from but that shot is pertfect. I have trouble cause I can't fit anything next to my plants. Maybe I'll have to think of something. :hmmmm:

Looking good Dre. :gthumb:

Burnsy.

[dredank]

Thanks Burnsy, try blooming at ~3-4 nodes, I have had very short plants this way, I usually bloom ~5-7, still small but a little more to work with:D

[Mr Burns]

I think mine were 5-7 but so bloody short I thought I'd better make a decision and flower! Seems ok right now. 3-7 sounds about right under HID looking at what I have.

B.

[dredank]

Well my skunk1 x WR are not growing, they are stuck at the first two leaves, but those were the seeds I harvested a little early and were kinda light greyish. But I did get some real good looking seeds out of the hindu kush x WR. Im germinating 3 right now in rockwool, and I did 2 in paper towel, they sprouted in there all the way to growing cotyledons(dont know if i spelled that right, the first two false leaves), I put them in pots outside, ill put up pics of those once i get everything together. I am still waiting to get a greenhouse to grow them in. Once i order that then i will germinate ALOT of them.

[Mr Burns]

So have you decided on a greenhouse?

B

[dredank]

im thinking the jewett cameron http://www.bettymills.com/shop/product/view/Jewett%20Cameron/JECIS63012.html, 12 x 8 x 6/12 for $300 I couldnt find any bigger for cheaper, and it still looks like it can hold its own thru rain and some wind.

[Cel]

Hey Dr. Dre, just thought id stop since i saw your post about the greenhouse...
Well me for one, i am a great fan of building things when the price is too high.
I wonder now how much it would come out to if you were to build yousel a basic green house.
If its worth the money you save, i say its worth the sweat.
Ive built a couple cabs before, but nothing like a greenhouse as such.
I'm gonna do a bit of research on my part for you and find out what is good.

Oh by the way, that Ice man...*drools*
I want some frost aswell...permanent frost in my bowl mmmmmmmmm
I need to move to a clder country :rolleyes:

Cel

[dredank]

thanks cel, I appreciate that2thumbs :peace:
and for ice, that shit is veryy dank, such a potent smell, i sugesst you grow thatt strain, drchronic.com nirvana has em for around $17

[Shadows]

Hey bro, just subbing up for now, I'll be back to read whats going on in a day or so.

later
Shadows

[dredank]

BURNS, here is my bloom room 1 with the tied down sweet tooth crosses, the one is the back i think is gonna have a good yield. I havent grown any traind plants like this before and am excited to see the the end of bloom

[Mr Burns]

Dre that's mad :crazy: I ahven't trained indoors but it's something I'll be doing tomorrow. What's the tie point? The pot?

Burnsy.

[dredank]

tie to the pot first, then tie the side brnaches out, open up a "crown" till the branches get woody enough to not need tstring for them, and just keep tieng down the top untill it stop growing vertically:peace:

[Mr Burns]

mmmm. I've trained with bamboo in a greenhouse enviroment. I also had a dead weight in the middle and bent everything in towards that.
Maybe with mine I'll use the dead weight as I want to move the plants around. I'm also watching the stretch on the Chronics so I don't pin the WR down whilst the Chronics run a way with the shade.

Looking good though. How long to go?

Burnsy.

[dredank]

7-8 weeks id say and then ill get the magnifying glass and check trich color:gthumb:

[peakguy]

Dredank, you harvesting something? You been pretty quiet here lately!
peace

[dredank]

Hey sorry I aint been around much lately, been busy with these gals and their needs, And I did harvest the last blackberry by the way and its amazing, ill get pics up soon. I also got some new soil called Master Nursery "Gardeners Gold" it contains; Fir bark fines, Forest humus, peat moss, perlite, composted chicken manure, worm castings, bat guano, kelp meal, oyster shell and dolomite lime. So I hope this soild is much better than the miricle gro i was using before.:p

Well i got some pics here for all yous. The purple ones and the tree are the sweet tooth #4 cross, the third one in is another sweet tooth#4 cross I trained@week2, I am going to put it in my greenhouse once it gets here. The big cola next to it is a clone off the purple sweet tooth#4 cross @week3, also going in the green house. Then the flat hedge looking one is the mother white russian starting week 2.:peace:

[dredank]

And here is bloom room 2 the two skinny ones on the left are white widow@week2, then next to that is a Original haze in the small orange pot, and white russian in front, then next to that is another haze up front and bagseed behind it just starting to bloom, then two more WR in the back right, and another WW front right.

Then the close ups are WR, sorry of any of these pics are blurry I am still not very consistant in getting clear shots:o :peace:

[dredank]

And here is what i been smokin on from the harvest....:D
1. Hindu Kush (very fruity)
2&3. Blackberry harvested day64 (fruitiest buds i have ever seen)
4&5. Apollo 11 harvested day60 (amazing smell and taste, defintily one of my favs)
:peace:

[peakguy]

Dredank, how old is your WR? She looks quite a bit different than mine, yours has real long stems on the fan leaves and does not seem as bushy. The bud sites look the same, though. As you know, mine is about 3 weeks from harvest and has topped out at 41", the cola is good sized and there are some nice side growth.
Say, is that a paint can I see under one of those plants? No concern about bad chemicals? I was going to use a piece of plywood as a platform for a couple of my plants, but it smelled like it would emit stuff I would not want in the grow room.
peace

[dredank]

She is ~3 weeksm into bloom, she was a slow delveloper cause she had whorled branches at the start 3 branches at a node. Those long petioles seem to be a strong widow infuence pheno, the leaves look almost identical to the widow I grew just a bit ago.
Good looking out on the paint can toxins, I took that plant out, had to move 2 new russians in. so no more paint cans, but i am not going to use them for stands anymore2thumbs

[dredank]

heres a branch that this worm has been munching on for two weeks, I was out checking the buds and the tip of this one just fell off, felt at first soft like mold but right inside was this worm 5x bigger and bright green and he has just been munching on my cola for weeks, so I just cut it off early for the smoke:D

[Mr Burns]

Looks like a catapillar Dre? You squashed it yet?

[dredank]

Yeah i handled the worm, and soon i will be handling that branch:rasta: :D

[Mr Burns]

:sp ike:
Nice one. I've not had a worm in there yet and hopefully won't, but after brewing up a mushroom pot for 4 back in the mid 80s, the stewed matter was heaving with maggots and small worms when it settled and after liquid consumption. Mad days.....

So are you saying it was eating the main stem?

[dredank]

No it was eating the buds and leaving his shits behind, all I had to do was touch the tip of the bud and it fell right off, and that little green guy was just munching away at the trichs and secondary leaves, im sure it was real high its whole life.

[dredank]

I got the greenhouse today:woohoo: . While building it though I came across a problem, the instuctions werent worth shit, the wrong model or something, so I evenentually figured it out with a buddy and we got it built:idea: , here is the pictures or the first time we messed up and put together a 8x8 frame, it was dark by then. Also is a pic of some fo the ladies waiting to get inside their new home2thumbs
But its all figured out now, dimesions are 12x8x6.5 got the plants inside chillin:D I will get pics up tomorrow of the inside and finished product, but now im just gonna session some early harvest purple all night:peace:

[peakguy]

nice job on the greenhouse dredank. Just be careful bro. Now, what the hell is that big purple monster in your garden? She is not ready for the greenhouse, she looks ready for the pipe! Grow on.
peace

[dredank]

Well heres the rest of the pics...I found more mistakes on the greenhouse and I am going to have to re-build it again soon:p
I harvested the rest of the big purple sweet tooth#4 cross. While smoking one of the early branches I cut a friend suggested he thinks the other half might be strawberry cough, I agree. In the seed pack i got all the sweet tooth crosses in strawberry cough was one of the options for the father, along with blue domino, big treat, jack herer....
2thumbs :peace:

[dredank]

Had to transplant these babies into the ground today, on the left is a clone of that purple sweet tooth#4 cross(strawberry cough), on the right is sweet tooth#4 cross from seed (smells like master kush:D ), and the middle is the white russian:D :peace:

[dredank]

Well here is some updated pics from the greenhouse, im not runnin any other indoor at the moment, only in the greenhouse2thumbs

I put a little heater fan in there becuase one morning it was 40 F, but now at night it is around 65-68. Im just feeding them foxfarm tigerbloom, like a couple drops per 1.5 L for the 5 gal pots, and I dont know how much to feed the 3 i planted in the ground:(. I feed about once every 8-9 days. daytime temps around 80.

In order; WW, Bagseed, WR, WR, Clone of purple swt4 x strawberry cough, 3 WW's, A11, WR, Haze on left and middle bagseed on right:peace:

[dredank]

The Swt4x on the right seems to be having problems, looks like N or water def. i dont know, any help?

the first pic is a flower from the swt4x on the right, then all 3 grounded plants, and original haze, WR:peace:

And this is the little heater im usiing, and another WR close up showing alittle purple

[Mr Burns]

Dre.
Which one is it you have a problem with? This one on the right?

http://www.homegrownbud.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=698&d=1134156615

[dredank]

The one on the right is the one with the top 1/3 of fan and secondary leaves yellowing. I fed all the plants in there some Foxfarm Tigerbloom 2 days ago, she seems to be doing better, but I dont know what happened to start this yellowing and spotting.

[dredank]

This is the rest of the sweet tooth#4 x strawberry cough harvest dried out, and ready for the cure jars. Total dry weight was ~4.5 Oz.2thumbs, In the pics each mound is an O, and I harvested ~13 grams early. It is soooooo sticky, packing a bowl is difficult because it sticks to your fingers like glue, hope you enjoy the pics, i will try to have trich shots up as soon as i can take a decent one:p :peace:

[dredank]

I discovered white flies and spider mites on some of the plants in the greenhouse today:eek: , what would be the best way to kill them, and keep them away? I heard Pyola oil for mites, how is it applied, and would they sell this at a lowes or home depot? And I have a fly catcher but it doesnt catch any white flys:mad: . Any help would be greatly appreciated:peace:

[CB]

I discovered white flies and spider mites on some of the plants in the greenhouse today:eek: , what would be the best way to kill them, and keep them away?

wow got em both huh....that sucks

for mite's try avid (http://rosemania.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/product102.html) seems a bit spendy but will do what oil's and soaps cant do;)

never had white flies but have seen peeps battle em before....

hang some sticky strips for starter's.....get out the ole shop vac and rufle the plants around and get after them......dont be afraid to get right up in the plant:eek: few torn leafs is no big deal.....

you can allso use sand on top of your soil like 2-3 inches deep....this seems to keep em from getting to the soil and lay'n eggs......needs to be a real fine sand i believe as well

good luck bro

[dredank]

Hey thanks alot CB, ill definitly trry putting sand on my topsoil. What is it avid can do that soaps cant? keep them away? I got a sticky strip hanging, ill get some more though. Im all over that vacuum idea too2thumbs , im gonna either try it tomorrow or this weekend:D

[CB]

your welcome bro

soaps and oils work good to slow em down but thats all....avid is powerfull stuff and will do job in one shot and not a every 3-4 day thing:D

to tell ya the truth i think the only sure cure for mite's is to shut down for a few weeks and bleach the hell out of everything and i mean everything a couple of times

as for the shop vac take it in everytime you go in and work on em......

when ya done spray a little raid or something inside the vac and plug the hose with a rag;)

go get em2thumbs

[dredank]

to tell ya the truth i think the only sure cure for mite's is to shut down for a few weeks and bleach the hell out of everything and i mean everything a couple of times

I have used bleach once indoors and it worked good, but how would i apply the bleach to the greenhouse. To the whole plastic cover and grass?

And you could just spray that avid on the plants and it will actually kill the mites, but the oils wont fully kill them? Or to kill them with oils you have to do it several times?

Thanks again
:peace:

[Shadows]

Avid is the killall for mites. You can try regular treatments of Neem Oil, but any that survive the treatment go on to produce babies that can also survive the treatment. So after a while the neem becomes uneffective. Another thing that works well is a good washing off. If possible take the water hose to the ladies, blast the crap out of the leaves from the undersides, this will dislodge most of the hatched ones, and some of the eggs as well.

Since mites hatch on a 7-10 day cycle and can reproduce rather quickly, it is important that you stay diligent over the first 14 days, spraying with neem and water every few days. When you think they are gone, continue treatment for another 2 weeks treating on a 5 day cycle.

Avid may require 2 treatments, 4 days apart to fully break the cycle of the mites and kill them all, while neem treatments can extend on for 2 months without nearly as good results.

If you were indoors I'd suggest a Hot Shots No Pest Strip, available at your not so friendly neighborhood Walmart. I used one in mine and it made me mite free in 2 weeks. Since you are in a greenhouse, you'd have to get 2 of those and seal the green house up pretty well for about 3 days. Too much ventilation will render the strips useless in your grow, but may run off other lurking insects outside of it. Now I keep 1 strip open in the grow and 1 still in its package to prevent the return of the buggers. Its been well over a year since my infestation and I acredit the success to those strips.

[dredank]

Thanks alot shadows2thumbs looks like im gonna have to get avid, expensive but at least it works. :)
I have also tried rubbingthe underside of the leaves with a wet paper towel and rub off most of the buggers, but they always used to come back. But i have a feeling once i get the avid and the strips, and blast with hose and vac, these fuggers will be dead:D
:peace:

[dredank]

How about this for killing spider mites, alot cheaper http://www.bugspray.com/catalog/products/page1429.html?

[dredank]

I just hosed off all the ladies hard, and im gonna do it every week2thumbs . Seems like it was one hell of a cleaning hope all those little bitch mites are gone.

[dredank]

Here are some new pics from the greenhouse2thumbs Things are goin good in there, temps stay between 62-85F

The first one is a bud from the white russian mother planted in the ground, Then is a bud from the lanky sweet tooth4x, then its two 5 widow buds, then you see all 3 plants potted in the ground. Then the pic with 3 little plants are original haze from nirvana on the left and right, and bagseed in the middle. Then some sweet sweet russian buds.
:peace:

[dredank]

The hazes are growing slow compared to the bagseed. There is a problom though, the tips of the branches dont seem to have much vigor to them, I fed them a good dose of tigerbloom about 5 days ago, what could be the problem? Also one of the russians has some chlorosis, I have no clue what caused this.:confused
:peace:

[Mr Burns]

Dre.
You said temps can go as low as 62, but for how long in the day? You may remember mine went down to freezing point and survived but that was momentary. I was wondering what portion of the day was at 62F and if that was a factor to the limp leaf? Another thing with low temps is low water uptake. Maybe you're on top of this but watering little during cold spells is a good habit to form.

As for the WR leaf, it looks older than it is?

[dredank]

I not sure on how long it stays cold but it gets cold around 6 in the evening right before i turn on the heater. All the other plants seem okay with it, just the hazes and the young bagseed, ill try turning on the heater earlier see if that makes a differnece.

And thanks for the watering tip, makes sense plants dont need so much in the cold.

And the WR i have no idea, remember when it was smaller it had a mutation, whorled branch pattern (3 buds to the node) maybe that has something to do with it:shrug:
:peace:

[Mr Burns]

To be honest Dre, I squash any seedling that looks odd. I once kept a runt and just as it looked as though it was going to perform, it just turned into a hideous plant. I wish I hadn't wasted light on it but as you're outdoors you may as well keep it going. Theres nothing to say this will happen to you either.

It the GH pretty well insulated from draughts?

[dredank]

It the GH pretty well insulated from draughts?

Yeah im not really wasting anything by letting them grow, since its outdoors, and I have had mostly good results when blooming weird looking plants.

But i dont knmow what you mean by "draughts" checkers?. Its pretty well insulated though, i just got a new heater:D , last night it went to about 58 for a bit:( but i just put the plants that looked cold in front of the heater:peace:

[Mr Burns]

Draughts, like Draught, breeze, light wind. I remember seeing a gap at the bottom of the skirt.

[peakguy]

He wonders if any cold air blows on your plants. But given how cold mine are livng now, I don't think temp is your issue. Cold temps can cause some MG problems. MR. B is right about the watering, my plants have not been watered for 5-6 days and I doubt I will water them again before I take them next weekend. Not an answer for you, but some things to keep in mind. I've seen your bud pics dude, so you know what you're doing.
peace

[dredank]

Thanks peak and burns, yah i was probably watering them too much, like every three days, now im going to water about every 5 days i think. just whenever the soil is dry about 2 inches deep

Burns, there is a gap at the bottom but the tarp meets the floor, you just have the option to lift up little flaps for more ventilation in the heat, but i keep then down so i dont think much cold air gets in, but there is a small gap in the back since the floor in not level, i should probably put some sandbags or somehting to block that up. But usually its not breezy at all in there, i keep some windows open in the day and it is set opposite to the prevailing winds, so wind doest tunnel through the windows.2thumbs

And the wilting plants i put in fornt of the heater seem to have responded and look a little better, but leaves near the bottom are yellowing, not just fans but the two secondary leaves on the bottom of the two lower branches.:confused
:peace:

[dredank]

Well its been awhile since i posted any white russian x's, seeing that is the name of the journal:eek: here they ARE

The first shot is clone from the Russian mother, so shes purebred:D im thinking of making her a mother too. Then there is my creation Hindu Kush x White Russian. Then my only skunk1 x WR sprout (all these seeds were premature and 1 out of ~30 sprouted, so i sure hope its a female:p ) Then you got a full shot of the Russian X clan, all little sprouts are hindu kush x WR, there are also some dying WR clones in there too, they are about 5-8 inches. I have been feeding them pH balanced 6.6 water whenever soil is dry and leaves are pointing upwards;)
:peace:

[peakguy]

nice nursery, Mr. D. Say, has that russian clone been topped? my russian had a very distinct main cola. Is the nursery in your greenhouse? Man, I can't wait until I can do that. How's that big purple plant smoking?
peace

[peakguy]

Well, well, well, look at Dredank go. First POM, and now mentor status. Way to go man!
peace

[dredank]

Thanks peak:p , That russian clone was not topped, when i cut it form the mother to clone it, i left the side branches on it and it grew into this lil bush:D My normal WR's sure have distinct colas though;) .

The nursery is in garage not GH. Oh And the purple sweet tooth#4 x strawberry cough is stunning to say the least2thumbs . amazing in some blunts:D
very strong head high:drool:
:peace:

[dredank]

Here is a WR clone i just harvested:D
She packs a very strong sweet lemony smell.2thumbs
Very chunky buds too!

I was going to try to give it a few more days, but I found some mold starting to appear deep within, so she had to come down;)

Im thinking I might have to water cure this if it tastes harsh, I dont rmember if I fed it any nutes last week:eek: hopefully I didnt:hmmmm:
Only one way to find out.....:smoke1:

Heres a little update from the GH... Due to the cold, I have been watering about once a week and foxfarm tigerbloom every other week;)

The first pic is a bagseed, looking healthy:D The nextpic of the two plants side by side are the Nirvana original hazes. Then a close up of one of the haze tops. The next 3 close up bud pics are the sweet tooth4 X ? from seed, then a whole plant shot. Then a little WW with a nice frosty glow:cool: . And this next close up is a bud from the sweet tooth4 x strawberry cough. And if your still reading:p the last one is a bud shot from the WR mother.
:peace:

[peakguy]

As always, looking fine about your place. Be sure and give us report on the russian stats; how does she smoke and how was yer yield. Mine is hanging, part ready for trimming, and some getting ready. I do agree that they smell sweet and kinda lemony. Frost up like crazy

except only 1 of the 3 vietnamese popped:eek: I can tell those vietnamese are going to be a slow ride... Still early though could still take a few more days to germ... Put them in some good potting soild and will post pics as soon as they sprout and get a few leaves to look at:p
:peace:

[Mr Burns]

Dre. I've thrown seeds outdoors cause I thought they wouldn't germ and then you find a plant months later! If I had the room like you I'd never throw em but have an ongoing pot to dump em in.

[dredank]

I do something similar i put them in other flowering plants pots hoping for a sprout, but i think i would have a better chace keeping a seperate pot with not so "hot" potting soil2thumbs
:peace:

[Mr Burns]

Sometimes a seed needs waking up with a cold snap Dre. I'd leave em round till next Spring in that pot. Be a good plant for it IMHO.

Heres an update of the GH, things going pretty good in there, warm temps, got the heater so its all good at night,:D
Pest control is being handled, i got some spray oil weak stuff for the young plants and im awaiting a delivery of AVID so that should handle these destructive bitches:mad:

Heres a bunch of pics the first one is WW, and the third sative pic is a sweet tooth#4 x?, the ones with red on the leaves are WR, the little frosty bud shots are original haze, and the less frosty one is a bagseed, the colorful buds, and that big bud mass is the sweet tooth#4 x strawberry cough clone:D
:peace:

[dredank]

heres the veg setup... going good i just fed them some alaska fish emulsion and sprayed them with some spider mite oil..

I feed the seedling that havent lost there cotyledons yet just ph treated water;)

The kush x WR are the bigger ones some two per pot, and the little seedlings are hawaiian x skunk, and the two in the small pot standing staight up are two bagseeds, the two small ones per pot are k2 x BG x BB, and the other small seedlings are vietnames x vietnamese black:D

Not sure when to start LST training im thinking in about a week?
:peace:

[Mr Burns]

Dre.
Do you put a layer of drainage material in the bottom of your pots? I was just looking at the surface soil and it reminds me of potted soil without a layer of drainage in the bottom.

[dredank]

And here are som pics of what ive been feeding the ladies.

I feed about every other week maybe skip a week or two for the first 5 weeks depending on strain. I use the alaska and foxfarm mostly, i dont really know how much of the PK13/14 to use i always burn my plants with that shit. and the blood meal i mix in 2 teaspoons with with a good amount of worm castings and some good rich potting soil. for the 5 gal pots.;)
:peace:

[dredank]

Dre.

I do not burns, but they seem to drain pretty good at the moment i have had a problem with that before though, I just transplanted into some new soil, but i did just get a fat bag of worm castings and i used a good amount near the bottom of the 5 gal pots with the new plants;)

what do you suggest i do with the small ones?

[Mr Burns]

Regardless of what soil manufacturers say on the packaging I'd always put a layer of broken clay or washed shingle in before soil. I'm not saying you've done anything wrong, but making a habit of doing this is a good habit to form. As long as the whole base has two layers of broken clay pot or an inch and a half of shingle (washed stone half inch to inch and a half in sizes) the drainage will be covered. Nothing worse than wishing you'd done something earlier in a grow that you can't do later and when the shit has hit the fan.

Dre you're doing fine and please don't freak when I say this stuff. I'm just chipping in some small things that can help out later. This is gardening talk and not just bud talk for me buddy :gthumb:

Don't try it in hydro though.

[dredank]

thanks for the tip burns2thumbs broken clay sounds good, Im not freakin, i like to know what i can do better, isnt that in a way why we are all here:p TO LEARN!

[CB]

the freak node plants that i have had allways flattened out and sort just toped themselve's which ended up with no real main cola to speak of.....

top one and let one go and see what happens ;)

k2x (bgxbb) should be the bomb, sure you will see a freak from them as well from the bgxbb side ;)

one thing about freaks is they can put out a nut sack from time to time so keep a close on them in flower

GH is look'n real nice bro

grow on

[dredank]

Thanks CB2thumbs , Well i topped the 4 noder. But it seems that the 3 noder has another 3 noded or more branch set coming out, Im going to veg them longer, dont know how long yet, maybe a few weeks.
im real excited for those k2xseedlings, and seems my WR just has freak in its genes too, i have had 2 freaks from the mother and now these two from the cross, and i used a different WR, it was the male. All these freaks from the same serious seeds pack:eek:

And i look for hermies just about weekly now, since one of my bagseeds recently hermied around its 9th week flowering, really crept up on me, very slow flowering plant for some reason, :hmmmm: maily indica too. :eek: I hope not much damage was done to the other plants in the GH from those few hermie flowers:(
:peace:

[CB]

Well i topped the 4 noder.

good choice indeed...... did you sprinkle some magic ju-ju powder on it a stick it soil :eek:

when my bgxbb does this it usually keeps adding a few nodes as it goes....think my last one was around 12 nodes before it stopped upward growth bent itself 90 degree's and grew a one side whore of a main cola ....was damn freaky looking to say the least but great for up skirt piccys :D

got a bag of home made bag seed myself from a few grows back :rolleyes:

just a couple hundred seeds so no harm done really

I'm gonna sprinkle a few out in the back forty and see what comes of them this spring ;)

if a few is like 3-5 single sacs then probly not much damage at all...I only found 3 sacs after they burst on mine and no others after that.....

keep the pic's come'n with those two....will be intersting to see what happen's

on with the show

[dredank]

Well Here is a shot of some WR, im running real low on my stash:( so im flushing this little baby out and gonna chop her tomorrow probably, hoping to get a good 10 grams;) its been flowering about 7 weeks i think:rolleyes:

Then this next macro is WW, they are all comin real close to harvest, all fan are yellowed out and falling off, a little amber trichs here and there, buit moslt cloudy.

The next shot is just some bagseed around 4th week. I put this one in the ground a few days ago;)

Then some haze shots, i planted one out of the 2 i got going right now in the ground, and one is in a 5gal pot. feeding them the same, they just got a dose of alaska 5-1-1, and not they are gonna be on foxfarm tigerbloom every other week. They are pretty frosty for how young they are and are flowering pretty slow, but didnt have much stretch when they started flwering, so they are both pretty small, around 8 nodes then starts the little top cola.

Dre.
Sorry buddy I've been busy with the bubblers and haven't been around as much.

Have you emoved the burned leaf? I'd cut off the burn just back into the green of the leaf. Just my opinion but I believe the burn can draw moisture from the green leaf. A bit like having your arm mangled I'd cut it off and let the body take care of what's remaining.
As CB said I wouldn't worry, but I'd clean it up and remove the mistake.

Looking good buddy. Just started harvesting my seciond grow myself! Pitty you weren't closer I'd pop some round to save the plight of the WR.

Grow on buddy.

Looking damn fine in here DD. nothing like outdoors in the winter time. I do however have a question for ya on the White Rhino. From that last bud shot, she appears to be pushing out single blade nonserrated leaves. Compared to the rest of the buds looks, I'd say somethings a miss, like maybe the natural light cycles are such that she is going through a reveg?

no matter, they all look great to me, loving the purple!!

[dredank]

Thanks shadows, Yeah i dont know what those non serrated leaves are about, maybe she is almost done and thats what happens? maybe CB can help us with that seeing hes a white russian connissiuer:cool: All the WR i have grown have been a bit wierd, i need to back cross them i think:hmmmm: , already got some of those though;) :D dank smoke, just grows kinda weird, lots of bud growth around the bottom stalk. Looks different to the other WR i have seen, like peaks' and burns' were more tree like, mine are more like a bush;)

Thay have been getting like at least 11 hours of light and like 7 of those hours are direct lighht except fot the GH covering:rolleyes: And they grow real slow in there, could be the cold, but i put in another WR last week and this week it really hardened up but hasnt shown any more pistils...
anyway time to:bong:

looks great in the GH indeed :D

just never thought about it much living here....it can be done but the nursery's all have to run lighting and mass heat as well.....just something about a 1k hps blazing away in the bark yard i dint like :eek:

I guess a true grower can adapt to anything he sets his mind to ;)

great job on the garden bro

as for the white Russian it did look like a re veg try'n to happen but with the light schedule it doesn't make since......

some of mine have done some weird stuff as well but i never really worried about it much

wonder what mine will do this time around:eek:

grow on

[Shadows]

Sativas are highly photoperiod sensitive. Its been said that to flower one out properly a reduction in the lights on period is required after 9-10 weeks of flower. Otherwise @ 12/12 she will just continue to grow and flower. That being said, I've also read where on an indica you could flower it at 12/12 and adjust the light to 14 hours on and still continue flowering. The same technique on a sativa can send it into a reveg.

It is highly possible that if your daylight has increase by 1 hour it could have signaled a new responce from the plant. Also we are getting into a higher blue spectrum as we get closer to spring, so that as well could be playing on her hormones. Thats it, shes just suffering Menopause, hahah

[dredank]

:laugh: menopause:rofl2: Maybe, seems alot of my plants in the GH get singel serrate leaves toward real late flowering.

I mostly use the biobizz soil for young veggin plants till they are about ready to be planted in the ground.

And for feeding the plants in the GH i already like saturated the soil with nutes, big bloom and tigerbloom mix. And if i need to liquid karma on them I foiler feed, only dont it once though, not sure how many times i can get away with it:rolleyes:

Cranky- the bag is a nice idea but i would like to have bigger cages now, cause the plants are about the top of it, maybe i can add some sort of height, but if these plants outgrow the bags im kinda screwed:(

cranky

you missed a bit bro. so here it is from their own website.

Fox Farm has "combined the best of technology with the goodness of nature" to create an extraordinary formula utilizing the best of both the organic and synthetic methods of plant nutrition. These organic based products promote essential regenerative qualities, such as increasing beneficial microbe populations which jump start your garden’s ecosystem and keep it thriving. This means better nutrient uptake, more disease resistant plants and spectacular end results! Potent low salt fertilizers have been added in just the right amounts to provide for quick, stable, healthy growth and abundant blooms, without the harmful side effects of runoff and unwanted salt residual in the soil.




Basically fox farms is organic based nutrients with chemicals added. Therefore NOT 100% Organic.

Wicked Harvest Dre.

Keep it Green, I am.

[Cranky]

yep...thats right....i never said that fox farms was 100% organic;)

what im saying is that it wont fuck up your all mix....

like it says on thier site...its good for soil.

i know peeps thats thrown all kinds of shit in all mix and its never done the plants any harm nor do the plants loose yeild due to it,,,,says it betters their yeild.....i guess thats why they do it in the first place like....

hell,i know one old timmer that throws everything but the kitchen sink in his all mix and hes had some of the biggest plants ive seen.

try it on one plant dre...if it fucks ya plants up then i'll pul my pants down in front of the whole class and smak my own fukin ass infront of the lot of yas;)

I kinda did try somthin like that:D On a few of the plants in there the fert slipped when i was adding it and it ended up adding like 10x more to a couple plants, looked like a lethal dose had it been poured into a 5 gal potted plant:o .....But all those plants i accidently did that too are the most green, vigorous looking plants in my crop:eek: :D

So i think when it comes season since i am planting in some new spots i am gonna saturate any soil im planting in with some good veg nutes.... then when it comes to bloom re saturate again with bloom ferts:p , hopefully i can find some wood to burn too so i can add that ash to the mix, cause i dont think i shoud "saturate my soil" very often.

:peace:

[Dibbz]

OK Journey from Dibbz into Organics:

1st: Basic Organic Growing Defonition~Cultivation of Plants WITHOUTthe use of synthetic chemicals or pesticides,whileimproving the soil structure and protecting the environment!!!


I feel that the care for the life in your soil mix makes all the difference to your plants out on the surface.....

OK when you add or apply a dry fertilizer of choice and other organic matter in your soil or garden, you give the soil a gift and offer nourishment to many millions of bacteria and fungi that or intimate and have a key relationship with your plants, in particular with the zone of soil around the your plants roots, TEST: if you were to pull out a plant and shake off excess soil...the soil that clings on to the roots is the zone im talking about...
This Zone is known as the Rhizosphereand if your eyes were like microscopes of a powerful scale you could probably see the special environment or zone in almost all plants bear in mind recieve numerous benefits from the microorganisms if you imagine the human body and your digestive system its almost like these microorganisms. They help break down nutrients from food sources;)

When growing organic advanced or basic you will be taken part in soil biology and increasing the number of these beneficial soil lil babies(microorganisms),therefore improving the health of your plants!!!!!

Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that are sweet as fook in Soils, particulary those rich in organic matter;) Allmix being 1....Sciencetific tests has proven that a teaspoon of fermented compost contain more than a million bacteria....
So dive into the soil and your one of these bacteria...mostly your job is to feed on the soils organic matter and make the nutrients available to the plants!Organic Fers need to be processed through the organisms creating a natural release.....


Organic ferts are mainly made from plant and animal by-products and trace elements and when broke down and the babies start they're munching in the soil and stimulate population growth of soil borne organisms which help with the release of other nutirents which may be tied up in your soil.....so basically the 15,000 + species of bacteria and the 8000 + species of fungi and then even the stuff we dont quite know about yet that live in healty organic soil mixes are the key activators, which will cycle and re-cycle the stuff you feed or the given nuits, help the plant thorough its life and build up a resistance to attacks from virus's or diesease and even insects or pests!!!!

Know to support the little city in your soil depends on a steady supply of organic matter and minerals, you can do this by adding organic ferts or compost which then convert into storable or given plant nutrients. Again helping with the growth and health of your plants and stabalising vitility of the soil and how the roots grow!

And i thinks there is another thread somewhere to eplain then the photosythesis side of things....


But thats all from me folks....on this one anyway:trust:

[dredank]

Dre, you know I'm gonna drop by when I'm here, but, uh, how come you are chopping early because you are outta smoke? You have A GREENHOUSE! Well, be that as it may, the pics of the kush WR cross are mouth watering. You said the plant you took early was a WR, but it had purple, so it was a cross, correct? I have never had any purple on a WR. Kudos for the very cool way you handled the neighbors/greenhouse issue.
My new grow is underway, and this batch is looking better than the last at this point I still did not get a good germ rate out of the White Russians (3 of 5 seeds), and I think one of those is already developing balls. That would, of course be a fatal mistake.
Oh, damn almost forgot, congrats on 2,200+ visitors. You are like the dean of all threads here for visitors. I think I posted the first grow thread when we all migrated here last autumn. Keep it up dude, always enjoy the visit.

[dredank]

hey thanks peak, nice to see ya:share: . That WR i harvested early wasnt a cross just a WR clone from the old mother that i flowered out. I know it sucks but I gotta chop early cause i havent been growing enough plants or they werent big enough and i run outta herb pretty fast, that will hopefully change though:D I hear ya on those russians my WR didnt have a very good germ rate either I got 1 female from 6 seeds, 3 didnt srout like and i had a few males, and glady put one to use on the hindu kush:p , and the kush x WR is a 100% germ rate so far (knock on wood):p
I am gonna let kush x WR's finish up for another 5-6 weeks or so, then its time for the new season batch:mmmm:

:peace:

[peakguy]

Hey Dre, somewhere here on HGB someone is growing some AK-47 and I asked him for some info on them, not sure I have been back to see what he said, but, like you, I like the taste of the White Russian. Since I have not had that great of luck with them, I thought I would take a step back and try the parent.
I am surprised that your straight WR showed that much purple in the buds. Mine were very green/yellow, and kind bright from the frosting. In my current grow, of the 3 that germed from 5 seeds, one is already showing balls. I told them not to do that.
But I would recommend the Grape Krush if you can find it. The plants are pretty tolerant, and the buds are tight and frosty. I like the fruity taste. I am going to look for some of those Kush seeds that you have been using as I like what U show us of that.
peace

Hey peak im interested in ak 47 as i have not had much experience with this strain,never grown it, and only smoked it once in amstersdam. I have grow the other parent white widow, and actually have 2 clone right now:D probly gonna put em outside for the season;) the WW is quite a piney smoke, i like it alot, incredibly tasty in a vaporizer:mmmm:.

damn mold :mad: good job spotting that wee bit fast ;)

man those girls of yours are freaking huge now dre!!! :eek: nice job!!

[dredank]

Thanks ldy:D Yeah i think the mold might have been from putting the bags on like to shorten the day. I left the bags on over night like 2 days ago and that plant also shares a bag with the white russian in front of it. And like that is alot of plant for one bag so i think that might have caused it. Also have some aphids and white flies im not using any spray or nothing though yet its not that bad, I just inspect for an hour or two every day and kill em with the good ol thumb;)

i have only one question to ask and hope it does not seem like i am being critical. i have learned from growing, not just ganja, that the presence of ladybugs means the presence of aphids. Is that true?

I may not have followed the thread back far enough, perhaps you put the ladybugs there intentionally for that reason.

Just an inquiry, thanks

[dredank]

Hey jasper, thanks:D I dont think the presence of ladybugs means the presence of aphids, or attract them even. But I do know that ants ususally attract aphids and i had a serious ant problem like 2 weeks ago. I treated them with some "antagon";)

But I did bring the ladybugs into the greenhouse to get them to eat the aphids or their eggs, but i dont know how many they ate beofre they flew out:rolleyes: but ladybugs are a great predator:D

hope i didnt misunderstand your question:o
:peace:

[CB]

but i dont know how many they ate before they flew out

if they left then there must not be any in there......

no food and the leave or die if they cant leave

hows the ant begone going ?

cool pics of the lady bugs bro

grow on

[reubeni]

Nice girth you got on them plants, dredank dont you just love fat kholas grow on bro grow on:gthumb:

[peakguy]

very cool pics of the lady beetles, I love them in my outside beds, but keep grow so protected no outside visitors get in. They are the best, way to grow bro
peace

[dredank]

CB that ant b gone worked for a like a a week and when i pulled up a stump there was like a black lake of ants:eek: and i used 3 of those ant b gone circle traps in the GH so i think im gonna need like 10-20 or something:rolleyes:

some of the lady bugs tho would just want to leave, maybe just upset them or somethin by grabing them and putting them on the plants:rolleyes:

thanks reubeni, i pretty happy with the grow for them blooming in such wierd conditions, im kinda suprised they didnt hermie, they started with 12 hours light, then the night hours increased, then i put bags on them for a couple weeks and they had 11 hours aday, then i stopped, and the rest are blooming under the sun right now so i have vegging and blooming plants growing side by side, kinda wierd.

hey peak thanks man2thumbs ladybugs i think are really the best way to go too, esspecialy in the greenhouse cause i can just get hundreds of them and close up the door and they cant leave:D

:peace:

[CB]

any new news to report there young grasshopper :p

[dredank]

hey CB:share: how you doin, not much news here, just been smokin on the harvest:D the ants seems to have left the greenhouse a bit once took the rootballs out and tilled the soil. got a new batch in there now of like vietnamese x vietnamese black, sweet tooth#4 x strawberry, white widow, maui wowie x skunk1, k2, white russian x white russian, a revegg purple hindu kush x white russian, and a reveg skunk1 x white russian, i also took 2 walls off the greenhouse for ventilation like so its kinda like a tunnel;) no GJ but ill post pics when they get bigger like

holy crap Dre, those buds are huuuge! I dont know if it's just YOU or it's the outdoors, or a combination of the two, but i'm jealous hahaha

Gosh! If you haven't already cut and dried all of these plants, i'd love to see some pics of the the buds all drying. My mouths watering.

peace.

[reubeni]

Yo dredank when I went to Australia what the did to control termites/ants and other creepy crawlies was to put out some sacreficail tucker(food) out for them and the pesky's leave your house and crops alone maybe work for you,just an idea though;)

[Cranky]

stick a slice of lemon in there for 24hours...supposed to attract and kill um like:cool:

see if it works dre...cant do any harm like


cranky

[dredank]

Hey thanks for the tips cranky and reubeni i really appreciate it:D i got some lemon type citrus growing in my backyeard so ill just put some of those in there see how that goes. im not sure i would want to put food out there that would feed them and help them multiply though..... i just want them gone;)

and thanks alot gorilla, i love growing outdoors under the sun. but sorry all the plants are cut and dried but i can get some dry nug shots:D

O My God

[LdyLunatic]

awesome buds dre!!! :D

and yes i am gfonna go back to the lady bugs again....have you ever noticed that they are just simply attracted to the bud smell?

i have found that when i used to have a bag open on my table and the smell would waft outside....within in a short time a few lady bugs would be chilling on my window screen

so...i wonder if they are attracted to the MJ scent....but then leave when they see there is no food :shrug:

[dredank]

Hey thanks THEANIMICNEEDLE and LL:D

i think ladybugs are the best and easiest aphid control too;) interesting if they are attracted to MJ smell. maybe MJ is an easy thing to smell and and they know they will probably find a meal over there :hmmmm:

Well here are some more pics of my Hindu Kush x White Russian this is 2 different phenos, ill post pics of the other two later :D
