...how r u liking the lucus formula ..?
Well I have only used it in Veg so far with the Flora Series, Micro and Bloom.. drain to waste with soil. Love it so far.
I am going to keep trying to bump it up. Invested some money in Sea Green. I am using dechlorinated tap water which has a low PPM. I think the Seagreen might help my plants absorb more nutrients in the medium and allow me to give higher feedings without switching to RO water. If it works anyway. I want my buds as big as possible so every little thing to help pack on those extra grams I'll do it.

I updated my master genetics list. The genes I have to work with.. if anyone cares to see it. ----> Click this Link Yo!

I'd be willing to bet anything in the next few weeks I have added a couple of strains to that list.

Trying to score some new Bodhi Beans/Strains. The ones I want the most

Elf Snack-Apollo 13 Gorilla Arm Pheno x Sunshine Daydream
Sunshine Daydream- Bubbashine x Appalachia
Prayer Tower- Lemon Thai x Appalachia
Goji OG- Nepali OG x Snowlotus
New Unreleased Un Named -Larry OG x Snowlotus

The ones I just got Recently-

Fantasy Island (urkle x appalachia)
Cali Yo (Aeric 77 California Orange x Yo Mama)
Apollo 11 Genius (A11 Genius Pheno F3)
Apollo 13 gorilla arm x Apollo 11 (self explanatory lineage)

For anyone who doesn't know. Bodhi aka Bodhiseeds is a private breeder/collector of some of the finest and most elite Cannabis strains known to man. He is listed at the Attitude seedbank and only sells his genetics through the Attitude and Breedbay's very own SeurBidz auction listings. Nearly any time one logs on the Attitude and trys to look for and at this mans listings they are almost always soldout. For those of us who know.. buy em out. Some of the comments and grow reports I read over the years from some of the most respected and talented growers almost always say the same thing about Bodhi and his gear. A+ work and A+ selection which of course leads to A+ strains and hybrids. There is supposed to be a Bodhi drop in the very near future and I know that I for one and going to grab me some gear.

I've read some serious bad things about that eagle20. I'm honestly thinking of throwing a cut of everything in the tent hitting em with my male. And then killing everything. Shutting down for while. Then starting over. Clean.

Thanks. I wasn't thinking of hitting em for a while. I wanted to. But I figured it would be to much.
not sure what you have read about eagle, imo the active ingredients in eagle and similar products are the best treatment for PM
eagle is widely used in the agricultural industry, the grape industry especially use eagle and similr products to control PM which grapes can be very susceptible to
eagle is a highly concentrated product and is not needed for use on your personal weed crop unless you have a few acres to spray LOL
you can use something like systhane , which can be bought in virtually any garden store, systhane contains the same active ingredients ( myclobutanil) as eagle but in a less concentrated dose

peace :)

Thanks skunkdoc. But after doing more research,instead of just listening to what people said, I used eagle20. Great product. Worked great. I'm not ashamed to eat my words.

And batman on the BODHI side. Shhhhhhhh.........don't tell.
 
I had no idea there was such a thing as a strain whore. ;) Please pardon the expression. lol. Where do you go shopping for TGA stuff? Very nice work batman. Its nice to see so many strains cataloged and well grown. Round of Applause.

Well I lost my old cut but I had some beans. I popped 2 a while back leaving me with 2 pretty nice looking plants, a male and a female. I plan on juicing the Spacedawg with the Chernobyl pollen soon. I'm gonna pop 5 more Chernobyl in the near future with the Timewrecks. Chernobyl is a top 3 strain for me. It's up there as being one of my favorites for sure. It is the most resin covered strain I have ever grown, bag appeal is killer. Potent and as Sub said it's possible to achieve potency in the area of 25% total active cannabinoids. Lime slurpee funk. Def great shit. It would be a dream of mine to have a higher yielding Chernobyl and Timewreck going, take ten cuts of each and flip the lights. Who knows, it might happen someday.

The Chernobvl x Spacedawg I'm going to make hopefully will be a success. I think my Chernobyl male is a little more JTR leaning but if anything that'll adds to the potency and yield. My Spacedawg has great potential and the two should make nice lookin kids. We'll see. Gotham glowsticks for everyone if all goes well.

First Run with the Chernobyl



2nd run, added a Metal Halide- Same cut

Beautious! My JTR cut is just like this! Minus the purple and reds, virtually identical resin profile and structure. I will have new pic's up soon, she's @ 7 weeks now and unreal lookin'. Truly is incredible cannabis!! Long live the batcave! :p

Looks like someone threw sugar at it :) The description of timewreck being more potent than chernobyl is what was the clincher for me to pick it up... looks fantastic from the grows i've seen. Thinking about getting space dawg and qleaner june 1st at hemp depot so i can get a free 5 pack of chernobyl - haven't decided for sure what i'm gonna order yet.

Yea Chernobyl pumps resin for sure. I personally wasn't a fan of qleaner. I wouldn't recommend it based on the results I had. SpaceDawg is a winner for sure. I also liked the shorter smaller phen of Jacks Cleaner 2, Jack the Ripper, SpaceQueen (although now I would choose Spacebomb) in TGA's line those are my favorites to grow. The JTR was a tad too intense for me. Had my heart racing and brought on major paranoia if I took more than a couple hits. Friends loved it tho. Qrazy Train was another good one. I never had good luck with Pandoras box getting a decent female and will try again. Void was my least favorite as I hated the peppery butane fuel taste. If you are gonna get in on that Hemp Depot promo I would say picking up at least a pack of SpaceDawg and giving that a try is a must to do. SpaceDawg is just as good as Chernobyl in terms of potency, taste, smell, bag appeal, all that. It is rather uplifting like Apollo but taste is completely different. Personally tho I would say buy something other than Qleaner. Remember you're gonna get 10 beans of whatever you try. Might as well get stuck with something really good if youre gonna spend all that cash. Ohh I almost forgot Agent Orange. It's probably one of the biggest yielding and best tasting TGA strains. I love me some Agent Orange. Especially a fresh bud outta the Vape. Delicious.

That's the first negative qleaner review I've heard. Maybe I'll pick up something else maybe Qush. Won't be growing it til either fall or next year...

Well the way I see it, the 50/50 phenos of qleaner which appear most often are the least desirable. The JC leaning phenos aren't as good as Jacks Cleaner so I would rather have JCII, but these are the best phenos of Qleaner.. and the Urkle leaning phenos probably aren't as good as Querkle or Deep Purple.. so I'd rather grow those. This is just my honest opinion. Qush does look great, I hope to try that soon myself. I grew and tried some Deep Purple x Bubba Kush once and wow that was some great smoke.

I agree, qleaner is a meh strain. The only thing that caught my attention was the yields. I once took a solid 7 zips of a single cola qleaner female. It was mediocre herb, but still pleasant to smoke. In fact, Im have two qleaner X deep bubba kush's at about 6 weeks now. They're looking to yield big, but that is hardly worth taking up the space. So much other dank out there. :p

This is what is happening and what I wanted to rant and share...

The Apollo 11g cuts I had have some crazy root growth. I get that leaf claw look that none of the other plants are showing. This either means one of a few things. Excessive nitrogen, high temps, or large bound rootmass. Further inspection of the medium shows a huge rootmass that is all bound up for sure. Next time these are definitely going into Smartpots. I think I might transfer one to a 5gal smartpot today and see how much it'll help. They want to be watered every other day in 3 gallon containers. I can't believe how much they drink. So tonight I'm transfering at least one to a 5gal Smartpot with some Happyfrog. The Seagreen I've been adding might also be doing it's job quite well. I added it to a tea that consists of- one cup earthworm castings, one cup jamaican batguano, 1/4 teaspoon Cytoplus (I love this shit), 15ml unsulphured blackstrap molasses, and 3ml seagreen. I let this bubble 48hrs before I hand pour it on top of the medium. The way I like to do things is Feed, Water, Feed, Tea, Feed, Water, Feed, Tea. Just like that. Adding a topdressing of happyfrog to the other girls also helps add some new microbes. I am a firm believer in not purchasing or adding products like GH Subculture. I've used it before and done complete runs without using it.. I thought it was a complete waste of money. Keep it simple. Keep it somewhat organic.. keep the cost down... bring the yield all the way fuckin up!! & if you wanna add micro life to your soil.. BREW TEA.. and Brew it outside!!! That will def all microlife.

My Chernobyl male is stinkin real good and makin some nice Trichs on the fan leaves. He's gonna be a nice breeding male I am hoping.

What does everyone wanna see... X with Chernobyl Male??

I'm thinking one or two of these..

Eisbaer (The White x SnowdawgBX)
Bandana (707 Headband x SnowdawgBX)
SpacePrincess (Sputnik1 x Cinderella99)
CaliYo (California Orange x Yo Mama)
SpaceDawg (Snowdawg x Spacedude)

Was also thinking pollen in the freezer for a rainy day Chernobyl could come out and play with Venom OG from Rare Dankness or TresStardawg from TopDawg.

We gonna chuck pollen and create some crazy buds drippin with fucking resin. If I see something promising there won't be any reason to leave it at F1 status. I am gonna be around a while so why not create a hybrid that causes some plant envy? Basically that's how it all starts isn't it? Dank x Dank usually equals Dank. One thing I have learned from listening to all of Subcool's rants over the years tho.. the goal is to create something better than the parents. With male selection it's all about using the male that shows the DRUG TRAIT. Any male won't do. The male used has to have that sticky icky goo. I have one of those now. & Luckily in my stash I have some beans and access to cuts that the general non medical population doesn't exactly have access to. I could make a few hundred or a few thousand Dannyboy Black Cherry crosses or Sputnik crosses. I could use JJ's TresStardawg, the Original Diesel Cut, the Abusive cut, Purple Stardawg, KillerQueen... it's good having friends in higher places. Being a long time member of Breedbay now and some of the other forums around the net.. I've accomplished that. Just wish I was in or had a connection with Jimmy from Pisces. Pisces looks to be a breeder on my radar that is coming out with some killer shit. Check out this Pisces test grow for Candy Queen (Space Queen x Blubonic). Fucking sick. His packs average $80 a pop. I know I have to get my hands on some. Before I go buyin more beans tho.. I need new equipment. Some new T-5's, and I'd really like a new Nikon DSLR with a 100mm macro lens.

It's hard for me to even imagine buying any more beans once I think rationally about it. I have thousands and recently acquired quite a few. Just in Bodhi beans I have 30-40 more I need to get thru. Unfortunately the A13xA11 I popped were all male. I did 4 or 5 I can't remember. But I have a couple CaliYo females and A11 females going. The newly acquired Fantasy Island (Urkle x Appalachia [greencrack x tresdawg]) and LemonLarry OG (Skunkmasterflex cut) x Snowlotus. I had to give up my Monk C99 F4s to get those Lemon Larry. Bodhi will have a better use for them than me I'm sure. He knows those Monk c99 beans are the real deal Bro Grimm Heaven Stairway shit. Fuck the pretenders.. I'd grow a pack of Monk beans before Moscas (which I have) anyday.

Was just ranting because the possibilities are endless. I recently became a single guy and I think I will use this as an opportunity to get to know Cannabis a little better. I have no intention of dating for a while so if I'm not spreadin my pollen for a while.. might as well use this extra room and privacy I have to my benefit & create some greatness. What I really need to do is invent in a decent T5 4ft 4lamp fixture and maybe a 4x4 tent. Get this party started.

Speaking of Rants.. here's another one.. and a reason I love TGA.

I hear and see so many people getting male preflowers.. guess what, with marijuana it happens. Cannabis is a dual sex plant. My best advice to someone who wants to play it safe.. do a little research before you buy a pack you'll learn the feeding habits of the parents and you'll know before you hit a plant with a high dose of phosphorus if you're doing any damage. I've grown buds bigger than my fist on fertilzers having NPK values of 2.5-2-5.. and even cut those dose in half for some plants like Dojaberry and still yanked ounces off her. It's always wise to be careful with unfamiliar strains by not using bloom boosters the first time. Especially with purples. Most Purple plants I've come across don't want or will not tolerate 0-10-10 feedings.

Things people never seem to do but should know better

1. Check your water. Not once.. but often. It may be PH7 and have a low 300ppm one day.. doesn't mean it will stay that way.

2. Check for light leaks more than once. I try to do it once a week.

3. Avoid mixing nutrients A and B formulas from different companies. For example I would never mix GH Flora Micro with Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro Bloom. You're just asking for trouble. Different companies use different formulations of micronutrients in different bottles to sell you more bottles ($$$$ for them). There is absolutely no reason at all Why a grower even has to purchase GH Flora Grow since Micro has all the Nitrogen you need. But it has alot of other Macronutrients. Mixing this with someone elses nutrient could cause an overabundance of one substance and cause harm to your grow. But mixing GH micro with GH bloom is fantastic. I learned this lesson the hardway when I used FoxFarm Growbig with EarthJuive Microblast and Botanicare Pure Blend Pro. Was a big no no.

4. Avoiding using Enzyme products directly in teas. From my experience it isn't beneficial to the micro population. Some molasses, worm shit, and batshit go a long way. & Bubbling your tea outside even if for part of the day adds beneficials.

5. Fem Seeds are for Pussies. Words of Wisdom from Small Potatoes back in 2009. This guy is one of the most talented growers out there on the net and practices his grows with the upmost professional methods and documentation. I love his answer to the following question- "I have been hearing a lot of bad news about Feminized seeds lately. I read in Weed World that everyone, from experienced growers to beginners, are having problems with Fem seeds turning hermaphrodite. I'd like to hear from all of you growers out there. Are hermies real common with Fem Seeds?"

"Folks will disagree with me, but I don't feel there is anything stable at all with FEM seeds.
At best, you get a breeder that knows what he/she is doing. By that, I mean you have a breeder who has a special female that has been watched and studied for a long time to know that it is stable. By stable, I mean it doesn't have a tendancy to produce male flowers under environmental stresses. This forced female (by using colchicine) will produce "XX" and "XY" pollen resulting in progeny that are "XXX" and "XXY". This is the most ideal, and honestly, both are hermi. This is fine though if all you care about is that generation. In other words if you are just going to grow these seeds out, harvest, and then not try to clone or continue the line then you are fine. To me, this is the only real functional application of feminized seeds. For the most part, you will have a 99% female crop with maybe a few hidden nanners on some of those "XXY" females.
At worst, you get a breeder that just wants to make money. They find a dank cut but don't check to see if it is stable before applying the cholcicine. Or, or, or, they look for a fairly dank female that puts out a male nanner or two in flower anyway (without cholcicine). Either way, you are going to get nutty pollen that could be "XX", "XY", "XXY", "XYY". When I hear horror stories about folks having big time hermi problems with fem seeds, it tells me a lot about the breeder they got them from. These seeds are highly unstable and are a waste of the grower's time.
If you plan on cloning and keeping a female alive, then don't waste your time on fem seeds unless you just absolutely have to have a certain female. I'll never waste my time with fem seeds. I would rather spend my time selecting from males and females and finding that one super female to keep. Of course, my setup is condusive to that. As I said, some folks need feminized seeds based on how their grow is set up. So if you can only grow from seed and you can't keep clones, then "Stable" or rather "Reliable" feminized seeds may be an option. Personally I would rather buy double the regular seeds and just cut out the males. This is typically cheaper as feminized seeds are usually more than double the price of regular seeds... for the love of the plant, if you are planning to breed, DO NOT used a feminized female. Remember, your most ideal case is that she is "XXX". Still a hermi, and the progeny from her crossed with a stable male will be "XXX" and "XXY". HERMI HERMI HERMI. Hermaphrodites are one step closer to our favorite plant turning to hemp. A self pollinating sea of low THC, low yeilding plants.
" - Small Potatoes

and Subcool's response... "What He Said!!!!!!"

I really love TGA and Subcool. Sub has been around and on IRC and the boards for very many years. Anyone who wishes to ask him a question can post in his forum area.. but even better if you wanna chat with the guy he's on IRC using the Undernet Server. Channel name is #theweednerd. Guy dedicates alot of time teaching and showing others how to grow Cannabis. His company/brand has the best customer service in the business. His genetics are easily obtainable due to the fact that TGA has gone HUGE since 2006. I used to love to be able to spend $50 and get a 10pack of whatever TGA I wanted. Prices have surely jumped due to a number of reasons but the gear is solid. Who else out there.. what other breeder is available for chat and has beans almost always in stock for nearly every strain in their catalog? No one else I can think of.

Bodhi is also blowing up with popularity and success. I love this dude and his work too. Glad to see the little guy can come out on top.

Grow photos and update soon.
That is all.

Good rant.

How far into flower are you with those a11s? Has the pineapple funk arrived yet? Should start pumpingn around 14-21 days. Bet they look great. Can't wait to see what they do for you.
That spacedawgXchernobyl sounds great to me. It'd be nice to see it taken to the straight 707 too.
Makes me laugh the way people love these fems. And really defend em too. Look at the chromosomes. XXY, yeah doesn't look like any issues there at all.
Sucks on those a13Xa11 being all boys. I really woulda liked To see those. Oh well nothing but time and we will get to them.
Super stoked to see these fantasy islands. I really want to run an appalachia cross.

Man I have a really good feeling about these burgundys and ESP the chemdawgXmendo montages. They are really starting to shine. It's almost time to flip em.

Well I only ran 4 or 5 of the A13xA11 was suprised I didn't get any gals. Could have been stress from all the Eagle20 and Neem baths. Who knows. My rations are usually better but I avoided using a MH bulb completely this time. I had em all under a Ushio SuperHPS. I don't care tho, it's way better to have a few less gals and ZERO PM or the Borg. The process or prevention when it comes to pests is something I take very seriously. There is a doorway outside leading to the same are of the house my grow is located. I have piled so much granular insecticide and poison near that door it would kill and did kill a mouse but I won't share those details to the public. But I'm safe! lol.
The A11's have been in Bloom mode now for exactly 2 weeks. They do look great except I can tell they want bigger pots. At first I thought I was feeding too much Nitrogen when I saw a little leave claw but further inspection of the root mass shows that they want 5gal or larger buckets.
I haven't really done a close smell test or any stem rubs yet but will soon for sure. I am trying to be extra precautious when entering my room due to the fact that I have a male plant in my house. I take showers before I enter the grow area every night now.
And KAB dude I'm sure you'll run an appalachia cross soon. Almost as sure as I will be running some Gage Green gear this year. lol.
Those ChemdawgxMendo are really gonna rock I bet. I love the chemy fuely strains. Hope you find a high yielding beast with a ton of bag appeal.
