GroErr Grows...

Your grow is looking impressive as always GroErr!

I was wondering if you know roughly what percentage of sativa/indica your strains are? I have particular interest in the Blue Ripper, Blue Harley and Blue Ripper x Blue Pyramid strains? I'm guessing they are pretty sativa dominant but hopefully you can shed more light on this for me.

Hey thanks pretty happy with the way they're developing in there :)

Blue Ripper is Blueberry which is ~80/20 indica-dom and JTR which is ~70/30 sativa-dom so technically around 50/50. Practically most phenos tend to get more sativa-dom structures with some indica characteristics like some have bigger/wide leaves. These tend to be more stretchy long colas and respond well to training. The highs tend to be sativa-dom head stone and some phenos will also add a decent body stone likely coming from the Blueberry side. Those are BX1's of an F2 keeper pheno back crossed to the F1 male.

Blue Harley is Blue Ripper which we'll say is ~50/50 and Harlequin which was stated as 70/30 sativa-dom, so technically this one should be more like 60/40'sh sativa-dom. Practically these tend to be 60/40 indica-leaning with more phenos having more of an indica structure, shorter, branchy and larger leaves. I've only pulled 2 phenos that were more like 60/40 sativa-dom but most have more of an indica structure, compact and branchy, typically less stretch. These are an F1 (BX1's are 7 weeks into flowering) of the original Blue Ripper F1 male x original Harlequin BX3 keeper female.

That Blue Ripper x Blue Pyramid is truly a tester in that I haven't had a chance to run any yet. These are F1's with the Blue Ripper F1 rks male at say 50/50 x Blue Pyramid keeper female which is said to be 80/20 indica-dom. So technically these should be more indica-leaning offspring, like 60/40 indica. The male has strong over the top terps that stink up the house in even in veg and the female is what most would call a "Kush" with very earthy smells & flavours. This BP female has a strong tangerine smell when growing which eventually goes into the background after curing. Should be some indica-leaning flavourful phenos in there.

Good luck with the hunt you have going!
 
Well that answered everything! Lol.

I’m pretty happy with those strain percentages. I’ve never been a huge fan of most pure indices or sativas. I find the best results come from hybrid strains.

Only pure indicas I have going right now are the Sand Storm and they're just a big ass cola with skinny side branches and big fat leaves around the main, good SOG strain and that's basically how I grew them out as I wanted to see the structure with no training. Definitely prefer the hybrids, so many possibilities for mixing up those genetics. I hit pretty well every branch on that SS, including the Panama male :)
 
Buds progressing quickly but all can use some more time. Sand Storm P1 is filling in and frosting up nicely at Day 35/5 weeks. Rest are Day 49/7 weeks. Both Blue Ripper's are close as well as the TPR, I'm thinking another 4-6 days or so for those and 10-14 days for the Waldo's Harley.

So always looking for better or easier ways to manage my sifting. I tried some standard lab sieves that I grabbed off Ali for $22.50 USD each. Grabbed a catch tray for it as well so the sieve fits on top of the tray and catches whatever you're sifting through it. Works awesome. The DIY screen I've used is fine but very uncomfortable on the back leaning over it. With these I can sit in a comfortable position and run as much as I want, without the backaches :)

I grabbed the 30cm (12in) diameter and its a good size for sitting it on your lap, I ran about 1/2 an ounce of ground material per cycle in the tray. I tried a 60 mesh and 80 mesh. 60 was too course for my liking but would do for strictly meds like caps. The 80 mesh (180 micron) is good all around, clean enough to have a puff here & there and good yields. I averaged 17% return on a mix of bud and high quality trim/popcorn. Ran the bud and trim separately to see if there was any difference and both yielded exactly the same percentage using fresh/ground/frozen material I already had on-hand.

Nice little stash, 49g in that jar, a coco oil cap or two :eyesmoke:

Looks like a great combo the sieves and catcher, I like it. I started on my previous harvests trim. From frozen just put onto a 90u screen and put back into container, no carding or moving. First run.
firstpass.jpgStill got some impurities in there, don't really matter as like you these go into caps, joints and made into hash.

Nice, looks great for meds, 99% of mine goes into caps so I don't worry about full melt sizes.

Liking those screens, sat on the couch with feet up and ran about 7 zips between yesterday and today. No nagging backaches and clean, just collect once when you're done running material through it. For under $50 you can grab a set, or have multiple size screens for different purposes, with a single catch tray. Not bad.
 
Flower room at Day 52/38/31. 5 gal ladies at the back are pretty well there other than the Waldo's Harley. Will be letting the others go until the weekend as I have no time and want a few extra days to mature any seeded branches :) Lowers on both Blue Rippers and TPR are mature, just a few white hairs on the main tops and good to go.

A Weak Steam Is The Sign Of Bad Genetics Imho Which Is NOT The Case. The Ripper Is A Easy Trim And Should Be Fun Its Just I'm Out Of Smoke And Had To Buy A Bag From A Friend And Well I Like Mine Better But It Will Fill The Void While I'm Awaiting The Ripper To Cure Out :hump:

Ah, not keeping enough for personal, a common conundrum I hear. Have never experienced that myself but no worries, looks like lots more where that bud came from ;)

Lol, lungs are fine. I mainly eat it & I gift a lot of it. As a smoker I'm a light weight, I probably smoke a QP in a year, any 2 plants in a round would satisfy my smoking needs.

In concentrate form (sift) and edibles it's amazing how much flower you can go through. Plus it seems at my age I always know someone going through cancer and end up helping them out. If I don't need/use it I have no problem gifting it out to sick folks. I guess you could call them my patients, it's just not a formal arrangement. Remember, I don't grow ;)
