Nice sounds like the plan.... the second video doesn't want to load... I'm from Boston, but lets just say its high seventies all week where I live now. Won't dip below 65 at night by the end of this month. I'm just worried because Sagarmatha said the DDR autos stink bad.

nice weather. i like when they stink in veg. it makes me happy. :)
i forgot to take pics today. so, ill take some tomorrow after i work with my ladies.
im glad the big band turned around after transplant. i almost tossed her. superthrive seems to be awesome stuff. ive read up and found a great clone food/spray that is also great for sick plants.

its: 4-6 drops of superthrive and a 1/3cap of fox farms grow big per gallon of water or 3.8 liters. mix and use as a topical food/med. a tip from dr. keTher thanks to SGG

it may look like the power strip is really low (almost on the floor), it's on a grounded grate that's connected to the wall. same thing the fan is sitting on. for you fire hazard people it is safe. and i have two breakers on the circuit. just in case. ;)

there lookin real nice man if I could rep you again I would :bigjoint:
thanks. they are drinking tons of water though. probably cause my humidity is at 20-40% ;)

lookin real nice man, great work. nice strain selection as well. sub'd, +rep
thanks. glad to have you here. and thanks again for the info.


the smell has gotten a lot stronger and its going to continue to do so. sickly sweet, rotting fruit, petrol, pine, earth, & sweaty cat piss all mixed together. :)

so, if i am to get a male from the tga beans.....then, i will put it in the clone room and put a bag over a branch and tape it. that way the male goes back to veg and i get some pollen in a vented bag. or i may have to isolate...
that's what im thinking anyway.

i have looked through the garden and several have their female sex showing. it would be nice if they all turn out to be ladies. just some stoned rambling........i got some train wreck today. forgot how much i like it.....babble

Here are the seeds peeking out to say hello.
View attachment 1483317"how do you do"
Sorry about the blurriness.
very nice. i am excited for you. if you ever need anyone to test grow...lol. that is awesome, props. im really looking forward to giving breeding a try. i may take you up on the querkle thing. if you are still down.

i thought about crossing with one of the hindu kush, ssh, or a vk. i need more room to do everything i want.....no matter. i hope to do lots of testing and breeding experiments, with sturdy genetics of course. i also want to get some pure landraces for a breeding program.

EDIT: i enlarged your picture and centered it :)

the smell is getting amazing.

day 4 of 12/12

everything is looking great. using lst to control the stretch. after the stretch, i've read that it is good to have the last two hours of light (12/12) be of heavy blue spectrum will keep heavy sativas from growing through the roof. source- ed rosenthal's 'grower's handbook' much for this perpetual garden to do.
i will be adding a couple more strains here and there. i would like to add:
jack the riper -tga
jilly bean -tga
plushberry -tga
red dragon -barneys farm
tangerine dream -barneys farm
arjans haze #1 -greenhouse
neville's haze -greenhouse
motovation -magus (i should have taken cutting off the last moto)

ill add them as i get them and as room allows.

Thanks. A month ago I would of jumped at the idea of someone growing out the yodas to selectivly breed out the F1 seeds. Since then I've inspired friends and family and I may have up to 4 rooms to choose to use for them. I'll share later down the line when I stabilize all the good traits. I hope/plan on having something to work with in the F1 group. Breed the two good crosses. See how that turns out in terms of different phenos, repeat until I locked it, then I want to take the bomba momma, take a couple clones. Leave some smaller buds past ripe or use colloidal silver to get some man juice out of her, and paint the clones for Fem seed. Then free fem test product for peoples. In Greg Greens breeder bible he says it's much easier to stabilize plants with similar genetics. Since vortex is 80 sativa it would be good to cross it with another mostly sativa. So out of those three I would think SSH would turn out the best, faster, because it's got some haze in it I believe. Yea plush berry looks great. I wanted some of those but attitude was out. If you haven't seen it, there's a vid on here somewhere of Subcool announcing the name change to plushberry, at one of his breeding locations. I don't think this was the same thread but I believe it has all the same information. https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/398941-plush-berry-picture-thread.html

thanks. so, i think two of the three vortex's are male.i still have 5 vortex seeds....but at least one is a lady (im pretty sure) i can monster crop to get clones. i think the kaboom is female also.
ill give them a couple more days.....but, if i have two males i may keep the best one, throw it into veg with a bag on a branch like stated in an earlier post.

with vortex pollen, i would try the black widow, the vortex female, ssh, & kaboom. try and get a handful of beans and experiment. the prospect of accidentally pollinating everything crosses my mind......i may just chop the male/s down in three days or so.

i pulled the two male vortex's today. i think the third is a male too. shitty. the kabooms are deffenatly female. long porcelain pistils. i moved the amnesia haze under the 1000w hps from the 400w

next week or so,planting the last five vortex beans. they will share the clone space. also monster cropping next week, put the aero-rooter to use...finally


everything else is looking great. most all have their preflowers and a strong scent. glad that the two/three males have been identified. the third is still under light. i want to be positive about the sex before chopping. awesome that the kabooms are female.

so, everything right now is as it should be minus the 3 sacks of balls . no matter. ill just add the vortex again in a week or so.

happy growing everyone. new pics soon

i hacked the two boys up. i do not like destroying my plants. after all the work and energy, but i would rather have seedless flowers for the most part.
the third vortex, i think is a dude too. kind of annoyed. but, i still have some awesome female strains. ill give "him" a day or two more to ensure that he is a he. looks like little clusters though (balls on a stick. yet small.)


the yodas sound awesome.

all males have been removed...i tied a couple plants down again. the kaboom's stem was almost too thick and its stretching like crazy. im about to lower the nitogen a bit and start the flowering nutes. all have preflowers and are developing pistils in the many growth spots.
ill put some pictures up tomorrow.

the slh that almost died as a seedling (went brown then back to normal with fused cotyledons) it was a runt for a while. now she is huge and naturally bushy (i'm very surprised and happy that she made it and is doing so well :) ). a slow starter, yes. but she is going strong. really bushy for a sativa dom. i did not use the lst method on her. she is a noticeably different pheno then the other super lemon haze's which are very similar to each other. the vk's are quite similer phenos., except the runt vk. its getting bigger now in flower tho. not nearly as large as the other two, but a keeper. not taking clones from her.

my rh is still crap in lights on. 20% but, at night it goes up to 55 to 60%. i have several containers full of water in the tent, and so far no help in the day. i suspect the inline fan taking all the air out. (460 cfm but with the carbon filter on, it's more like 420 cfm)

there is the update. another will follow tomorrow with some pictures.


happy growing,
keTher~

The open containers of water/water plates never work. I had success bringing up the RH by taking a cooler and attaching vents to the lid and attaching it to the intake. Brought up the RH and kept in a little cooler but it started leaking on me bc the cooler was crap. So I tossed the cooler and haven't bought another one. Maybe even throw and air stone in the cooler if you give it a go. I don't like humidifiers, I think they do too good of a job. I built a complete 400W veg and flower room yesterday for my brother. Took us all night, got home at 6 am (spring forward 7 am). Dude now has vents all over his bedroom, its hilarious. Sowed 4 blueberry gums, 1 Osiris, and 1 Kannabia Special straight into 5 gallon buckets. Didn't get any pictures because by 2 am I no longer gave a shit. It will be the main test site for yoda's in a month or so. Should be germin Tang Dreams in the next few days. Good to hear even the runts are just chillin, tannin', having a good time and that everyones on board. Sucks about the Vortex, was interested in that strain which looked so good in veg. Looking forward to pictures man. Get some good sexy part shots.
