Stoneslacker's new 250w micro hempy scrog Blueberry, Blackjack and Permafrost

stoneslacker said:

Well didn't get started as soon as I wanted so only chopped the blue cheese and blackjack. I wish I would have done the blackjack 1st, the blue cheese was so much easier to trim. I am definitely happy with how both finished up.

Blue Cheese is rock hard and so stinky. Glad she is down because the smell has been overpowering this past week. She is so dense and heavy I think her biggest bud may end up the heaviest. Can't wait to smoke her skunky ass!

Blackjack was unreal, she has alot more leaf than it seems when you look at her. She has more of a sativa bud structure than the last time I grew her. Colas are FAT and frosty. She smells like lemon kush with some fuel dump on top. She may have doubled the volume of the blue cheese, I couldn't fit her in the box so some had to go in the BC box. The tray has a layer fuller than the blue cheese under the 4 big "warlord" tops.

Blueberry tomorrow night guys. Tired as hell Peace

Outstanding stone! Also love the look of those BlackJack buds and glad you got a good haul out of her. Do you have any air circulation in the the drying boxes or do you leave the tops open or periodically burp em? Look forward to your dry weight and a smoke report.

Thanks guys! I agree with all of you the blackjack looks very nice, she really impressed me with her size. She definitely put out the largest buds I've grown yet, and looks like she may clear 80g.

The boxes-o-buds go right into my grow cab with the extraction fan running. I run my circulating fan upwards so it moves the air around without blowing on the buds. I will close the boxes up and open them to burp every couple hours for the first few days. Really seems to help them dry slow. After they dry till the stems get a bit of crackle to them, but not snapping, I'll move them to paper bags for the final portion of the dry. Then time for the sweet cure!

Thanks for all the great comments guys, BB comes down tonight so check back. Peace

Pretty similar to how I am doing it now as well. I reserve the bottom of my veg room (~24D x 30W x 28H) as a drying area. It is vented and the passive air from the extraction fan seems to do the job nicely to slow-dry (4-6 days).

Truly happy for you man, that is way cool!! Everything looks so good! mmmMMMM! It makes me smile big to see these.

Yo you are killing it scroggin with a 250 watter. I swear looking at yours I want to do a 2x400 tent dwc, hempy or coco scrog. But I would need to figure how many plants I could squeeze in a 3x5 space. I was thinking maybe 3-5 plants.

Thanks sky. I would do a split screen with 2-3 plants on each side. More plants will lead to less veg time but more overall work. If you put your screen low enough (6-10in) veg time is minimal. These girls were vegged from barely rooted clones 6in tall, to flower in under 30 days.

Wow, killing it with a 250W. Amazing grow, Blackjack looks tastiest to me.

I'm about a week behind you, got perlite/coco solo cups ready. It'll be good to follow along! Subbed up!

Looks delicious!

Thanks for checkin in High and Doc. Got a small node off of each set aside to dry a bit quicker to sample. Hardly any popcorn, just a small bit on the blueberry. Speaking of which...

Blueberry is officially chopped and in the box. This ends my first 3 plant run as a resounding success. My overall training and number of budsites was better on both the blackjack and blueberry than I had done on previous runs. And it looks like the blackjack at least will be the biggest single plant yet. The blueberry could also beat my previous best! Thanks to all you guys who were interested in what I had goin on here, hope the show didn't disappoint. Cheers!

Ok some Blueberry Bud pRon








Alright you guys know I like to look back and compare to my previous grows and see how I'm doin. I am liking what I see.

Here is the Blueberry comparison, current grow 1st, previous 2nd. The previous BB final weight was 63g.








My first hempy scrog was Blackjack and it was a learning experience. I flipped way too early, ended up around 45g. I'll compare this rounds blackjack against my last grows mystery clone instead, which was a fat girl too. Final weight on the mystery girls was 72g. Final pic is the first ever blackjack hempy.

Holy shit. Your buds look amazing! Id say you've learned plenty since last grow, they aren't even in the same league! Amazing job my brother! That BJ is absolutely beautiful! Cant remember atm, are you gonna scrog the next round as well?

Edit-LOVE all the finger hash btw!

Nice harvest right there!

Once again stone, you give me something to aspire to. Blueberry is probably where I will end up. It was the best smoke I ever had, but haven't had any in about 5 years. You reccomended some genetics before but I can't seem to find the post. (Bud blindness from all the shiny pics)

I`d say this is definitely your best yet Stone, you dwarfed that last run big time this go-round. Enjoy all that smoke, I can`t say anything else that hasn`t already been said mate . Be sure to hit us with totals for dry and the Report!!. Great job again,

KC

My sentiments are right along with everyone elses, what a great looking harvest!

Thanks alot brotha! I think I am starting to dial in these hempy buckets pretty good. Had none of the ph and lockout issues of my previous grows. Always good to make progress. And yes I loved all the finger hash too! More on the next grows training next post.

Thanks again DB! Blueberry is definitely one of my all time favorites. Wish I knew who my cut is from so I could recommend it. I would definitely not recommend the Dutch Passion version, my buddy and I were fooled by the great pic they show of it on the 'Tude. Was very disappointed in the taste and smell. I will say that for insomnia it would be a great strain, next to some Grape God I had once, this was the only bud I ever smoked that would instantly make me sleepy. We're talking snuff the spliff and wake up 3 hours later instant! I have tried DJ Flo's BB and I think my cut may be a sativa dom pheno from his lineup. Sagarmatha and Jordan of the Isles also have great BB cuts from what I hear. Although I think you can only get Jordan's seeds direct from his site.

Thanks KC, it is really satisfying to see progress at the end of a grow. I learned so much over the last few grows by searching this and other sites, been a real help. Hope some day someone gains the same kind of help from reading my journal. In a couple weeks I'll have 3 pics of some nug bowls on the scale for you guys.

Thanks CK I am most definitely a very happy guy right now. I've got the smallest nug from each set aside to sample as soon as they are smokeable. Can't wait!

Alright time to update the upcoming Summer Swelter Grow. When you live in a state surrounded on 3 sides by water, 87F feels like 107F I swear. I don't even sweat, my skin just gathers moisture from the air. Temps may be a slight bit better than my last summer grow tho with the cab redesign I did before this last grow. We had one day around 89 when the lights were still going and cab temps topped out at around 87, they sat around 91 most of my last summer grow. Just keep those fans running on high and hopefully temps will be at least slightly better this round.

Getting some nice growth spurts from the hempy girls this week. I will attempt my first mainline on these 3, going for only 4-heads on each. No expectations for this grow, and I will reserve judging the mainline technique till after I get this experience and can try a run with more ideal conditions. This will be a good chance for me to to work out the kinks, and got a tutor in mind who I will be bugging the hell out of! (Sorry KC! )

Black Russian (Delicious Seeds). She is really starting to take off and showing some great growth. She is about 9 days from 1st sprouting and she definitely took advantage of not having any sprouting issues and has lapped the other 2. Once the 3 are dry and I can begin curing them, these new 3 will get transplanted and set under the MH. The MazxGWS and NLxSkunk (Both World of Seeds) have both recovered nicely from their earlier problems and are taking off now.

B. Russian


Mazar x Great White Shark- I had my DIY light bar fall off the top of my veg chamber and one of the bulbs was laying right on top of this girl. So glad I caught it quickly and there was minimal damage, just burned the tip of that one leaf.


Northern Lights x Skunk



Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto (World of Seeds). This poor dirt dweller wishes she could have some of that hempy goodness. Sorry but this girl is destined to be wild and brave the outdoor elements.



Thanks again for checking in guys. Peace

........Amazing

Be right here for ya buddy . That Black Russian will take really well to the ML I`d think Stone. Can`t wait to see these guys take off in the hempy, great as always mate,

KC

Really nice work Stoney, you have shown what can truly be done with a 250w and a wicked scrog! Enjoy that tasty smoke bro

Thanks KC, I've got a basis of the idea but it will be nice to have your guidance as I train them.

Thanks Easty! Compliments like this really mean alot man. I had 2 goals for this grow, break 80g on at least one plant and shoot for near 0.75g/watt. I think I should be close in both regards. Next grow will be a struggle with heat and a mainline experiment, won't have much in the way of expectations. Hope you'll stick around ya!
