Ok, so in case you didn't catch that, I chopped down my big Dj short BB that was growing In the mddle of tray A-- the one that was yellowing up completely. It wasn't dying or anything, the trichs were about 30% amber, which is ALOT of amber for my liking, but I wanted to make sure it was done before I cut it down. It was just early as hell, which caught me completely by surprise. Not like it's a bad thing or anything, lol, just a surprise.

So, I wasn't sure what to expect really from her when she was done. Her leaves had a light hue of purp, but the nugs really didn't turn at all. N the smell.. It wasn't blueberry, or even berry for that matter, it was straight up HASH. It Fuckin reeks like a big ass Fuckin ball of hash man, so much that you can't smell that freshly cut plant smell when it dries a little bit- can't smell that at all man. Just straight funk. So I guess it's blueberry, lol, n I'll find out once my other BB is done, cuz it's a completely different phenotype. But nevertheless it looks amazing, and is covered in trichs, so I'm always happy when that happens, lol. I'll hook up some pics when it dries a bit more I swear. I got like 1.5 lbs of bud to take pics of over the next couple weeks, so I promise I'll get a shot of everything :D

I'll talk to you guys tomorow. I'll even try n get some bud shots from the grow to put up too.

Hey King, congrats on your harvest, I have never been able to smell the blueberry smell, either, just the dankness of the buds. I think some peeps out there want to smell blueberry so badly, they convince themselves that it does! I smoked Chocolate Thai years ago, that definitely had a chocolate taste and smell!! I don't care what it smells like, as long as it knocks my ass in the dirt! Just my 2 cents! Hope you had a good holiday! protopipe1

Yeah, I agree with you, but this blueberry is supposed to have a specific scent to it. N actually now that it's almost dry, it really does have a berry smell mixed in with the hash smell, and it comes through pretty destinctively too.

When it comes to certain flavors n smells that strains are supposed to have, I totally agree when you say that those things aren't important when it comes down to it, but coming from a conniseur's point of view, I bought certain gear for the certain characteristics that they possess that make them unique from everything else, so when I grow them out and I don't see anything close to what's advertised, I feel either like I got ripped off, or I'm just flat out not
Doing my job right In growing this shit out. I buy the scented n flovored strains, because they're boasted as the best of the best, n my goal is to have the dankiest shit in my city. Call me picky, I can't help it man. I'm still a novice at this, so I just wanna make sure im doing justice to the strains, and especially the breeders who put so much work into breeding out those phenotypes over and over until they get that perfect smell or taste locked in.

- sorry for the long winded response, I'm tryin to kill time waitin for my wife to get home so we can go eat. I'm Fuckin starving n bored off my ass, lol.

your last harvest looked sick man , glad to see your rockin it out ! :)
WM you motherfucker!! Where the fuck have you been? Glad to see your still alive n kickin dude :D seriously man, I was worried about you man. Hope all is well, n I'll swing by your journal soon n we
Can shoot the shit. Hit me up whenever man :D

Talk soon!

yeah dude, everythings ok. Just having a little spider mite issue that I'm about to bomb the shit out of, LOL.

So I'm only gonna run my overdrive for three more days before I apply my clearex. Everything is so close to done I don't wanna end up having to harvest before the process is complete, so I'll end it early n get done what I need to.
I'll try n do an update tonight, but I font know how long I'm supposed to leave my growroom alone after setting Doctor Doom off, so it may have to wait til tomorrow. But I'll have an update up tonight for my other grow for sure, so check it out :D

I had a spidermite problem this grow too king.. bastard mites.

I got some mite-rid, luckily it was before flowering (but he hydro guy said its non toxic anyways). Got rid of the bastards pretty easily so you shouldnt have a problem either man. My buds are moving up the cola now...shit they go fast lol...a few days ago i was so proud of all the popcorn nugs all over the plant, then yesterday there was signs of new growth, this morning bam the top 2 nodes on every cola are now completely joined and its still moving down (or up.not sure how they grow lol).

Ill bring some pics man in a few more days!

Thanks for your concern Gyps n TC, n everybody else. Yeah, im still outta town at the moment, ill be back home around monday or tuesday, not sure yet. Everything is ok out here, everything has been taken care of, my Aunt is doing about as well as can be expected.

Basically what happened is this. My uncle was a Diabetic. he had just been diagnosed within the last year with the disease, and he was still getting used to having to take insulin after meals, and maintaining a proper blood-sugar level, to prevent him from having an attack and passing out. One day he went out, and went to breakfast, and ate heartily. When he was finished, he forgot to take his insulin shot, and just got into his pickup and took off. Bout a mile or two down the road, he had a diabetic attack, and passed out behind the wheel of his truck, doing right around 60 MPH. He swerved off of the road and went head on into a Telephone Pole. It almost split the truck in half, and my Uncle Mike died instantly.

I still cant believe that the shit actually went down like that man, i mean, you always read about shit like that happening to people, but you never in a million years ever think it could happen to a member of your own family. He was a really awesome guy. Retired Police, but really he was awesome. He was a cop in NYC back in the Frank Serpico days, and i believe that he even told me once or twice that he knew Serpico, but i never really believed him, as he was also really great at spinning bullshit stories too, lol.

My aunt gave me something of Uncle Mike's that really was something that represented a part of him. He was a HUGE Wild West buff, and collected memoribilia, antiques, and he even owned property out by Tombstone, Arizona. My aunt gave me a Pistol that Mike was especially fond of, that he bought just a couple years back. Its a completely Nickle Plated revolver with a pearl handle, almost identical to the Pistol that Val Kilmer used when he played Doc Holliday in the movie Tombstone. Only this pistol Was a fully functional, live fire piece, that actually dated back to the late 1800's, and was worth around $7,000. Completely beautiful. I couldn't believe she was willing to let go of something so special of his, but i'm really grateful that she did, as now i have not only something to remember him by, but also something that i can pass on to my son when he gets older n more responsible, and hopefully keep it in the family for generations.

Anyways, sorry about the involved detailed account of everything, i just think that was a fucked up way to go out, and if there are any Diabetics out there, hopefully this can put some perspective on just how important it really is to make sure you keep your Blood Sugar in check. Dont just do it for your own health. Do it to make sure you stick around for your Family's sake, for a very long time to come. My pops is a Diabetic aswell, but he's had Diabetes for a loooooooooooong ass time, and he knows how to take care of himself, which is awesome cuz i know hes not going anywhere anytime soon (knock on wood, lol).

Thanks for listening guys, another post thats actually about my grow, comin right up, lol.

So my Sister is taking care of everything while im gone, as she didnt wanna come out for the funeral cuz she hates shit like that. I dont blame her at all, but best believe that shes gonna fuckin do me a solid by takin care of my babies in the mean time, lol.

She gives me daily updates on how shit's goin, sends me pics via iphone, and takes ph n ppm readings regularly, and i instruct her on what the hell to do if anything goes wrong. She's doin pretty damn well, and im even thinking about taking her on as an apprentice, and teaching her how to grow to maybe help her situation out a bit, but thats a thought for way down the road. Back to MY shit, lol.

So my two main Flood trays are filling out. Alot of them are ready to come down, so im having her chop down a few of them for me today, to get the drying process underway while im out here, so i can have some bud done when i get back. Theyre doin just fine, filling out decently, turning yellow due to Nitro deficiency, and The Black is actually turning goldish-purply-black on the leaves,and some bud is even beginning to look odd, lol. I cant wait to see her up close and look at all the changes. From what Sis says, all of the nuggets that were all flufffy n depressing, have begun to thicken out, and get rock solid due to the Gravity dose that i poured into the Rez the day before i left. Now all theyre eating is pure H20 with a dash of Gravity, and a hearty dose of H2o2 aswell. This'll be the first time that ive given my plants a full and proper flush, so hopefully i'll be able to taste the difference when i smoke a fat fuckin blunt or bong(pick yer poison)when i get home. Cant fuckin wait man. :D

Also, right before i left, i picked up another Flood tray. This time i didnt skimp, and went with Quality. Bought a Botanicare WHITE flood tray, which has a REAL 3x3 foot print, which will allow me to put about an additional 6-10 plants than what i am able to do with my fuckin suckass Econo-Trays. Im just about to say fuck it and sell those bitches on ebay, n get myself some more quality. There is no comparison at all man.

I topped all of my Moms the day i left aswell. Only one chop a piece, and then i threw the tops into the cloner in hopes that they'd actually take root for me. But no such luck, the stems just got slimy and turned to shit according to my sister, so after she took some pics, i told her to discard them. Then i had her take all of the clones that have been rooting for the last month and a half, and throw them into RW blocks and into 6" pots, and into the Tray. She put down a total of 16 clones for me, and im taking measures to make sure i have another 10 clones at LEAST to put in the tray when i get back home. From there, every 3 wks ill be able to take cuttings, and the Lb/3 wks machine will be underway. I mean hell, if i put down like 36 clones every 3 wks, even if im only pulling 1/2 oz per plant thats still an lb, lol. But i dont think ill be putting down quite that many. I just need to get my clone game down a bit better, and then step it the fuck up. Maybe take a few pages from YOUR book Gypsy, lol.

Last night i had my Sis do one last thing to my plants, and i then told her to just fuck off until its time to chop down a few girls. I had her top the plants again, n this time i think that the tops are going to take. Theyre much bigger, and i had her take from the bottom of the plant, so hopefully since theyre much beefier, ill have better luck. I dont wanna have to wait another 3 wks until i can take cuts man, cuz then itll be 6 wks in between my 1st two Harvests of the program. Whatever man, i'll tackle the problem when i come across it. She took a total of 38 cuts from 12 mother plants. Not all are confirmed females yet, so i'll know once they take root and i throw them right into flower. --I am also trying something a little different for myself with 2 of my mother plants. Ive taken the 2, and put them into the flower room. What im hoping to do, is let them go through the stretch, do some aggressive growth, and then show me sex, all within the first two weeks. By doing this, i am speeding up the process of them becomming permanent Mom plants for me i hope. Once they've exploded with growth, ill take as many cuttings as i can from both plants, and then throw the moms back into the veg chamber, which will allow them to fill out alot more, and turn into completely insane monsters from there. Its just an experiment though, which is why i only did the two. If it works and it seems like the rest are taking too long, then im going to do it with the rest of them, but for now im happy with what im trying out. We'll see where it takes me, lol.

Sorry for babbling on guys, i havent had anybody to talk to about all of this shit since ive been down here, and it feels really good to fuckin get it all out, lol. If you find alot of the shit i say on here Redundant as shit, i dont blame you guys at all man, hell, even i find myself too god damn Chatty sometimes, lol :D

Nevertheless, thanks for listening, and i'll give as much of an update as i can give on monday or tuesday, whichever i decide to come home on. Many thanks, and i appreciate all the love being given and condolances. Means alot to me guys :D :hug:

Many thanks,

-K1.
