Black Sugar Rose (Delicious), Witches Wedding (Seedsman), Midnight Mass (Piff Coast Farms), NL #10 (Sunwest)

It looks to me like there is some revegetation going on in the greenhouse SSH plant. But it is also getting fatter buds at the same time. Hope this finishes in the next month here. The Black Sugar Rose are doing well. The clones are all doing well. The seedlings are another story. I am realizing now that Fox Farms is not a good medium for seedlings. Very slow going. Only 2 of the Mister Nice SSH are doing okay at this point. Only 2 Katsus one of each of the Harlem Shuffle and one Moses is alive. I will be using some Coast of Maine seedling soil for the Piff Coast gear and have made room in the germinator for this soil.

All of the Piff Coast gear sprouted. They were all planted in germ boxes using Coast of Maine seedling soil. Unfortunately I broke off the head from on of the Harlem Dreams sprouts. So looks like I will only grow one of these. But the one I did plant without breaking has already sprouted through the soil. The other 3 Midnight Mass I planted properly with no breakage. Hopefully at least one of the MNS SSH regular seedlings will be a female.

Topped the larger of the two Black Sugar Rose. These plants are interesting in that they seem to grow with two canopies, one on the left and one on the right. Different from the standard Christmas tree formation of a marijuana plant. For the smaller plant I can definitely see it growing in this bi polar if you will kind of way. The greenhouse SSH plant seems to be past the point of no return for budding. She is just going to keep budding and budding until an explosion of uncontrollable flower dripping with trichomes and shooting pistils. So I keep feeding these plants until their thirst is satiated. I know that they are in the water only Great Lakes and Purple Cow Indicanja but I am still feeding them around a 1/2 dosage of Fox Farms nutes. I do a couple to 3 teaspoons per 2 gallons of water of each of the Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Cal Mag, and that brown stuff made of bat shit. Oddly enough mixing all of these together with the water produces a PH that needs no adjusting. Of the sprouts all of the Piff Coast seeds have sprouted with the exception of the one I fumbled and broke the head of during transplant. Just my opinion but I think the Coast of Maine seed starter soil makes a difference.

Looking very sad. If they had to live in this environment well they wouldn't be able to. Moving these to the tent tomorrow.

Update : Both MNS SSH have died in the cup. Was disappointed with these seeds. From the start these seedlings would not take off in growth and were very weak to begin with. Sort of shoddy genetics if you ask me. Will have to try again later.

One of the Black Sugar Rose plants is looking very wilted with droopy, yellowing leaves. Anyone have any idea what is going on with this plant? I water on Wednesdays and Sundays. Have been watering with the standard 1 tsp each of the 4 Fox Farms supplements to one gallon of water.

The Katsu and Piff Coast Farms seedlings are all still aliveThe greenhouse SSH plant is about 3 weeks away from harvest from my estimate.

The Katsu seedlings have both pretty much died. I don't see these two making it. Was really looking forward to growing that Harlem Shuffle.

The three Piff Farms seedlings have all rehabbed nicely under the sun in the greenhouse for the last week. I have moved all three (1 Harlem Dreams and 2 Midnight Mass) into the tent where they will be vegging with the 2 Black Sugar Rose. In about 2 weeks I am planning to flip to flower and the 12 hour light schedule. Currently the tent has been running daily 18/6 schedule.

I moved out all the SSH clones out of the tent and into the greenhouse. Notice the clones that were in the tent and their revegetative growth versus the clones that were in the greenhouse that just kept flowering. Also got a rack for the greenhouse. The SSH mother plant is about 2 weeks away from finishing. Last 2 waterings will be water + molasses only only. Oh and once the Piff Coast seedlings grow a little more I plan to take clones of the Midnight Mass and especially that Harlem Dreams.

I have more or less my arsenal of weed ready and growing. This is going to be the harvest with the exception of some Piff Coast cuttings I will make.

As far as the mother SSH plant I never spoke about the effects this plant gives off. First of all, it doesn't smell that much at all to be honest. Not as pungent as I thought. If I stick my nose in the plant what I do smell is like a musky, sweet woody smell. Kind of like maple syrup + cuban cigars maybe? Kind of like an old wooden church smell. Like old teak wood. Kind of sweet. It definitely smells better than those autoflowers I grew. But that's another story.

May 12 : Need a truss rod for the greenhouse SSH plant. Stuck my nose in her again to identify the smell. I've had what was called Super Silver Haze in college in Philadelphia during the 90's. It was 60 or 70 dollars for an eighth and it was typical green, kind bud. Kind of had a piny scent to it but the smell was that kind bud smell that you all remember. This plant doesn't smell like that. I haven't smelled any weed like that honestly in the modern era and it is really like a Berenstain Bears moment. But I trust my memory.

Piff Coast seedlings growing. Will need to scrog, LST these ladies in week or two. The Black Sugar Rose don't need LST/Scrog imo.

During the mid 90's I was able to purchase some weed in Haight Ashbury and around the Mission District in San Francisco just off the street. Dime bags of kind bud were going for 10 dollars for about I would say half a gram? Little green baggies with stars on the them. Typical Northern Cali indica dominant kind bud back in the day. Lime green, smelled great, dank, and kind. Piny, earthy, smelled like a forest. Someone saw the post and recommended this strain : Hashberry

Reading the description and what people wrote about it, I see this strain was really popular around 2007 to 2010. People have rated this strain pretty highly from what I gather. However the dominant effects and smell this strain emits seem to be more fruity/licorice/spicy aromas. I think the recommendation was probably given because the founders of this strain said the mother came from a bag seed bought from a hippy in a purple van in Haight Ashbury in the late 80s?

I know that the weed I bought at the time was the weed that was in circulation at the time in the area. To me the guys that sold it were probably just some guys from Oakland or some pan handling hippies who in turn got the weed from the guys in Oakland.

Anyways weed from the 90s when rappers were singing about chronic, hydro, dimes, blunts, endo, trees, etc were mostly the skunky, dank, earthy, piny effect weed unless it was kush. We will see if this weed comes close. Going to just plant 5 in solo cups and see if we get some females. The price was right and these will replace the Katsus and Mr Nice that have died on me

May 15: Gave an extra dose of Tiger Bloom for watering today. Got a metal truss rod to support the greenhouse SSH. Didn't take a pic but one of the Katsus came back to life. Not sure if it's the Moses X Platinum Kush or the Harlem Shuffle. Will defoliate the lower nodes of the larger Black Sugar Rose on Sunday by taking cuttings for cloning.
