FOR REAL!!! Big thanks out to Lordjin; that's the only reason I knew where to get the Ho :bigjoint: His finished Nugs are fucking INSANE looking... I want em!!! I'm gunning for you Jin, in a friendly competition sort of way of course LOL Of course it will take me like 6 months or more before I have any Tahoe to smoke and or compare unfortunately since I have to mom out this super freaking skimpy clone from PO, then take my own cuts off her, root, veg and bloom those ladies it's going to be a long road for the Tahoe. Jin's Tahoe clone on pg 1 looks like a hulking beast compared to mine. My stem is literally about as thin as a toothpick and the biggest leaves are 3 fingers and maybe the size of a half dollar or so. So small they didnt even need to be trimmed in the usual cloning manner...

Tahoe OGs are known to grow big quickly. I used to have Cali Connect's Tahoe OG they grew big roots and plant matter faster than anything I have ever grown. Jin's delicious buds convinced me to go and pick me one of these and I am hoping that these are better than the Cali connect version.

lookin sweet as Jin ;) ooooooohhhh yeah those fan leaves look like they'd cool a beached whale! nice contrast between the 2 strains, and i'm glad they are both growing at a healthy rate, man, i hope that larry stretches a little more than tahoe cause those leaves are like umbrellas man! nice work, can't wait to see 1000 watt HPS glowin, keep it up, and well, umm dont mind my plant if she just whooops the ball out of the park, but here goes ;) Put my UVB in tonight, have a squiz if u want

I smell a 3 way Tahoe Grow off between you, inhaleindica and I! Of course we'll have to all meet up and smoke the finished products to compare
We can compare the quality of nutes and difference in hydro and soil. I am growing mine in soil the first round since that is what I am used to. I am doing Hempy bucket right now and we shall see which I prefer hydro or soil after that is done and over with.

Jin's shit looks really good just by looking at it, knowing I will get knocked down.

Filling the swap tubs now. I'll change the water and start flowering tomorrow night hopefully.

Train went well, but I'm running out of space. Check it out.




The definition of training horizontally... Illustrated. No silly diagrams, either. The real thing. Who loves you, baby?


It's getting pretty busy in certain areas.


Again, keeping it as flat as possible right under the lamp area.


Whereas some of the perimeter colas can be left alone at this point (safe from the light).


But here's where I ran into a little decision time. Take a look at this. This is the head of that second main trunk on Tahoe. Look at that beast. I couldn't just leave it like that. But it's up against the wall already! What to do?

Dude, I mean that's like a fucking separate plant right there and it's the lowest branch on Tahoe. So what to do?

Turn off cute little decoration light and continue training sideways... Yeah.

All this and I still look pretty good naked.

I've never tried the Cali-Connection, so I wouldn't know. But I do know I'd rather smoke mine than my shop's best on any day of the week.

Yeah, I'm lookin' at your plant. That thing is a freaking behoymeth. I don't really know what to expect from Larry at this point, but I'm flowering soon... shit, I keep saying that.

Oh no! Soil vs. Hydro! You could perhaps start a Soil vs. Hydro war with yourself? But hydro is way better. Kidding! Kidding! Geez!

Okay, this is real OG Kush now. Wow. It's true what they say... the longer you can hang onto it for a cure...wow. How many ways can you say W-O-W? That's all I can say. Can you believe that? Even I don't have the words.

Edit:
Believe it or not, it's not the giant nugs you have to worry about. It's those little triangular ones that will get you.

I'm just curious Jin. Have you ever used any supercrop bends when you are filling those screens? I'm just now tinkering with it and must say its' pretty cool the way you can bend a plant any way you want ,pretty much. I suppose some strains might not like to be bent though huh? I just thought of asking as you were dealing with a tight corner there. Also , would you know if burning those little cans of warming gel such as for chafing dishes or camping stoves produce the carbon dioxide that plants breathe? The fuel is alcohol based. Any clue??

Actually nevermind- Heat and fire are two things prolly best not introduced in the grow room. Yes,i'm high:)

Each wake and bake surprises every morning. I think, "There's no way a person can be higher than this..." Then the next morning I think, "I'm actually higher today than yesterday. There's no way a person can be higher than this..." Then the next morning same thing. "Wow, I'm higher today than yesterday...." and so on and so forth. I woke up this morning, hit the ten minute snooze and crawled back into bed for a few minutes. I had these amazing ribbons of energy flowing through my body as I lay there half asleep/half awake. What a great feeling to wake up to. You never actually stop being high on this stuff.

So it pretty much has you whistling a tune in the morning from the activity the night before. I'm amazed by how chipper I feel in the morning even BEFORE hitting that wake and bake.

But taking a fresh bong hit in the morning instantly re-energizes all that good stuff swimming around in your blood.

As far as medical rating, I'll say this here bud is primarily a muscle-relaxant with very strong mood-lifting properties. It would be excellent for anyone suffering from pain and/or depression. I know someone who's depressed and my weed really, really helps her. And it's a powerful muscle-relaxant... makes your body feel like rubber.

So I'm chilling big time this morning. I just had the leftover brownies a co-worker baked yesterday (normal brownies) and am working on my coffee. I'll go outside now to enjoy the wind and sun.

And this shit rates very high when you catch a cold. I remember coming down with the flu during a period when I was smoking shop weed. Well, the shop weed didn't really relieve my symptoms, and it actually seemed to make them worse at times. I also took forever and ever to get better while smoking shop weed. My weed? It made my cold feel GOOD! And I'm almost completely well after two short days.

I raise my bowl to you, growers and smokers. Hope your morning is as fine as mine.

Yeah, I couldn't find that shot, either. I'll try to remember to do it tonight.

Yeah, no burning things for me... except my weed in a bowl.

I once did that severe "pinching" type of traning on a Platinum OG plant that got away from me in height. I wasn't using a screen back then, though.

Why thankyou, it is isn't it, weird how one is soo much better looking, so many variables at the moment, i cant get hold of my mates propagator so i make do with putting the flouro base in with the drawer (just enough room) gives off nice warmth, little inconsistent, as to why i'm moving them all around, not 100% humid, but i squirt them 3 times a day to keep them moist. i won't need to water the blocks for maybe 2 days. roots, will be getting close now, as leaves are starting to perk up and look like mini plants :) happy happy, good to see they are all alive, considering i'm not babying them in a propagator nor a humid environment.

Lookin good Jin! Lookin forward to some buds on those ladies soon. I've been doin some Tahoe training of my own. bongsmilie



Oh, and you always have more space to keep training ;-)

DSC01464.jpgDSC01465.jpgDSC01474.jpgDSC01480.jpg



side note: you mentioned trying to train some tahoe branches to reach as far as possible onto the larry side. Stop training the ones you want to do the reaching and let them grow up. Basically you're allowing apical dominance to the branch of your choosing. It'll start growing faster than the rest so by the time you do re-tuck it(dont wait too long until it won't comply anymore) it'll be a much bigger shoot than it would've otherwise.

Thanks for the tip! Good lookin' out!

And amazing plants, of course.

Edit:

Uh... yeah, let's be friends. Lol.

There's no turning back now. Come, take my hand.








This is interesting. Check out the difference in trunk development.

Tahoe distributed her size among several secondary main trunks.


Larry just grew a massive main trunk with side trunks that are not nearly as massive as Tahoe's.

Okay, I shoved my camera down there because I think everyone needs to see this. So this is what roots recovering from an algae attack look like. It's clear where they were attacked even with the new healthy growth.

Imagine how beautiful they would be if I never got caught napping? Oh well. Next time. But it just goes to show you... yes, things can go wrong quickly in hydro, but they can be made right just as quickly. Most if not all the brown gunk is gone. What you see is the aftermath. I'm guessing by week two of flower they'll be covered in white completely. This is now a completely sterile, buildup free environment. They're feeding heavily at almost 200ppm absorbed in the last four days.

So if you ever get root algae or slime or both, you know what to do now, right?

Uh, I got root algae on purpose so I could show you how to fix it... yeah, that's what happened.
