So i've gotten terrible at keeping this all updated!! I try, but alot busier with life then I used to be. Things are still going pretty well, i just cut down all those clones last night. Its been about 6.5 to 7 weeks, a week or 2 earlier then i'd like, but i noticed a little spot of mold the other day, so I shut my pumps off and let them dry out a bit before i cut them. They look sweet and the mold seems to have stopped in it tracks. Im hoping for an average of about 20grams per plant, and i think thats attainable from how they look. I finally finished trimming those 4 big plants I cut a few weeks ago. They ended up being about 10 oz or so from the 4 of them. Not great, but not terrible either once i put the clones into the trays they had pretty limited light sadly.

I've got 16 more clones taking root, and I'll take a few more next week for the next batch. This time i should be able to get a cycle going, and keep them a bit shorter. I'd really like to let them flower for 9 weeks, but seems like every time I run into mold around 7 weeks. I really need to get a dehumidifier and just run the humidity really low, see if that helps. I'm not sure what else to do. I would like to have about 30 clones in the trays at once, by adding 10 every 3 weeks, and cutting 10 every 3 weeks basically. This will leave me plenty of room for them all to get light, and if i can get them around 20g or more each, then that should equal some good numbers.

Well guys as usual i'll try to be around more often and I really wish i had gotten some pics of all these single colas once they blew up, but i suppose next time. Maybe I'll take some finished product pictures for ya this weekend. Hope things are well, Peace TC

dehumidifers come in handy, I used one to help speed up the drying process when I cut everything down. Had company coming to town, and couldnt have the house stunk up. Glad everything is going good for you.

Im really hoping i did'nt ruin the colas i just cut. I left them up on the plant for about 3 days with my lights on and no water to let them dry up a bit to try to stop the mold. Well sadly they are a bit crispy now. Hopefully it doesn't just burn up like nothing, i would hate to have a pound of barely smokable product. I might be making myself nervous, I'll get it trimmed tonight and tomorrow and i guess we'll see how it turned out.

How'd your harvest turn out Kush?

Peace TC

I didnt weigh anything, but Im sure I got close to 7 onions off the 2 big plants. I got a quarter oz off a tiny little shit, and I still have 2 plants outside. Been out of town and just got back tonight...hopefully they havnt rotted from the rain. I ran into my dad while I was gone, and he hooked me up with 20 bubbleicious(Nirvana) and 15 SHIT(Mr Nice) I need to do some research on the "shit strain", I hadnt heard of it until now.
Take Care

Hey guys nice to see everyone again!!

Gypsy it has been forever how the cold northern frontier been this year? I havn't been over to your thread in a minute, but glad to hear things are well for.

Smokedatkush, nice to hear from you too man. Hows everything been in your world, I know you've gone through alot of changes in the last year or so with your grows. Still got any of that KC 36 around?

Kush, sounds like it was a pretty good harvest, and a sweet hook up form your dad. I wish my dad hooked me up with genetics!! I'd really like to expand my selection some more, but i need to find something that will grow similarly to this WW so I don't get same plants that are way taller or way shorter then them.

Im about to do some supply shopping, and then get the clones into beer cups. Most of the last batch of clones i took are popping roots, so i'l get them into cups for a week or 2 then into the trays and flowering. With any luck this round will truely start my perpetual cycle, I'm gonna be taking more clones sunday or monday for the next round.

Really nice to hear from you all, thanks for stopping by, I need to trim this latest harvest still and i'll take some pics of that for you. This harvest turned out sweet, even though i had to cut it a week or so earlier then i wanted to, it is super dank. Im much happier with it then the round a few weeks before and they both had about the same about of time. The buds are way denser, and jsut totally caked with crystals. Well i'll work on trmming and see if I can get some pics for ya. Peace Guys TC

I ended up keeping a clone from the taller plant, and Im glad I did! It has a bluecheese/skunk taste and smell, and will knock you on your ass. I had to pick that plant early due to the eye in the sky, prob could of went another 7 to 10 days. The thing that gets me is I have grown many strains from diff seed companies, and the bagseed I have been growing tops most of them! BTW, I found out that "SHIT" is basicly skunk#1...but Im sure its still kick ass being from Mr Nice. Anyway, I seen you was afraid your last harvest was too dry. If you are doing sog, on your next harvest toss in a few nugs(almost dry) and let them leach out into your crispy buds. That is if "you" plan on smoking it, because I know how it is when you let it get too dry. Smoking a joint is like a fast burning fuse:( Well take care, and post some pics if you get a chance. KC

Actually the dryness was just about perfect. The hairs are a bit crispy, but its been sitting around since i cut it, and is actually turning into some of the best I think I've ever grown. I had let the plants dry on the stems basically, for almost a week with no water, and honestly as they've sat around now the bit of moisture that was left in the stems seems to be making its way back into the buds, and they are like I said just about perfect. Im really happy with this harvest. I only trimmed one of the plants so far, but it was about 25g and was an average size one of the plants. I have 2 that are for sure a bit smaller, and 3-4 that seem quite a bit larger/heavier. Im excited to get them trimmed and see what I've got. It also seems like the taste and smell are noticably more robust this time, which Im hoping I'll be able to reproduce in the future batchs. Well Im out going shopping peace!

:trumpet: dum da da dum da da duuuumm

So after another 2 month hiatus I'm back again!! Life is as busy as usual especially with the holidays and all. I hope those went well for everyone, things have been great around here.
Not only an update tonight finally but more pics too....and Im not just saying that I already took them! lol My last harvest was pretty decent I ended up with abuot 12 oz from about 15 single cola clones, and I can say that it was the best tasting and smelling I've ever produced.

I've got 15 off my WW clones that are about 6 weeks into flower now. I changed them over back on thanksgiving, and they are looking delicious. Honestly I couldn't be much happier with them, I think I've figured out this strain, and it should be golden from here on out. I'm keeping a close watch for mold cus I still have yet to have a harvest without at least a small bit. That's kind of annoying, but I'm getting better at finding it fast, and isolating it. I have 10 clones i put into the tray last week, that are just starting to show the love, and another 12-14 i took today. So by the time these ones that are flowering come out, I should have another whole batch ready to go in. I'm working on getting it down to a 3 week cycle, right now its seeming like about 4 week, but we'll see how fast they root.

I've been running the Fox farms grow big hydro mix this round, and adding the open sesame and chaching solubles to boost the mixture. I've also added a small amount of cal mag to hopefully maximize nutrient uptake. and what can i say they seem happy. I honestly only clean my rez about once a month of so, and just top it off and ph it in between. They seem to love it so im not gonna argue, and it seems to run more stable for me. I generally run the rez at between 1000-1400 ppm, depending if I have young clones in the trays.

Well without further a-due here are the pics. Its all WW so not much to explain, mostly bud picks but also some pics of a few random clones, and the clones i took today. Hope you guys enjoy as always:



























That is a 1l/quart size ph bottle.







Oh ya and a big Happy New Years to everyone as well I wish you all the best!!!!!!

Those little girls are lookin good man! Seem very indica dom at the moment, and look nice and healthy! Room doesn't look to bad either a fan at one end, and i'd use white plastic on the walls to reflect the light back at the plants, but other wise looks good. Something you might consider, since i know you would like a few more numbers is doing a vertical set up. Either of those rooms would work but i'd say the wider one with the shelves already has a great start. Build some simple shelves up each side, and hang the light in the middle with no reflector. By using the shelves you can fit alot more plants into a smaller space. I've seen some awesome stadium style vertical grows on here that guys have done. You could prolly fit 3 shelves on each side with maybe 5-6 plants per shelf depending on how long you made them. Just a thought i had as soon as i saw the pics. Peace TC

Hey guys thanks for stopping over!! Nice to see you all. My holidays did go pretty well this year grower thanks for asking I hope yours did as well.

I totally hear what your sayin Kush bout life being busy.

These girls are going nuts! Totally covered in trichs, and I'm very glad to say no mold so far. They have been full on flowering since the beginning of december, and so its now about weeks give or take a few days. I gave the rez a dose of gravity the other day, and raised my light just a bit. I'm not sure what it will do to the clones that are young, but iit seemed to bulk up the flowering plants last harvest. Im gonna leave the big plants in the trays till next week some time, then pull them out and set them next to the trays to finish up without any water. Last harvest I let them dry on the plant under the lights, and it was the best tasting and smelling i've ever gotten so I'm gonna try it again. I'll leave them to dry for 3-4 days prolly, depending how they feel.

My next batch of clones are kinda wimpy i am still trying to get a good mother plant. They are coming along though, several have started to pop roots so maybe the rest will by the weekend. I've wanted to get onto a 2-3 week rotation and use both my trays, but right now its seeming like 4weeks is gonna be more realistic. I may also just use one tray. I'll have to see how things progress over the next month or 2 i may set the other tray back up. We are planning on moving again in August, so im gonna have to figure everything out and start planning for that too.

Well guys nice talkin to you all, and i imagine i'll catch ya in a while! Peace TC
