Brobo's Thread for the Bro's (and Sisters, too)...

[Highlanders cave]

Morning guys, thanks for stopping by and sayin' hey

Yeah, slowly starting to fade below the canopy. Last water I did there were a couple fan leaves that were calling it quits under there. Molasses sounds like a good call, tho, HC. I was going to get some of that Backstrap molasses that everyone talks about (GG13 told me about it), and start mixing that in a little bit. If Westy said his BBC was a 9.5 weeker, how long you reckon I should feed until? 7.5?

I'm thinking either another round of Cheese after this (to really get shit down), and then after that I'm either doing some SLH or bubbleberry... oh decisions decisions. Where you at w/ your next grow, HC? Romulan breeding project still a go?

Have a good day all... I'm off to get the dog neutered-- gulp! Poor little fella doesn't even know it's comin'.

Ha poor guy! It will be better in the long run for him though. What breed is he? I think with mollasses you can start in early flowering right up to the last week. I used to use 2 TBLS/ gal with great results.

I'm just taking some Qleaner off the stems and throwing it in jars. Rom breeding project is on albeit with only three seedlings so depending on what they turn out to be,,,,

 

[Bobotrank]

He is a blue heeler... Australian cattle dog. Super cute, but will be cuter without his nuts lol

Your pad must smell great! Were those the seedlings u were talking bout with Wsty?

 

[Bobotrank]

Here's a couple of quickies from this morning...

 

[Bobotrank]

Wow, a whole 3 days since my last update. Time for another update

 

[Highlanders cave]

Hey hey plants are looking real nice brother for sure! Thanks for the update Remind me, they came as clones? Have you smoked that strain yet so as to know what to expect.

So is that the same as an Australian Shepard...poor guy, is he back to his old self yet lol? And not sure which seedlings we are talking about with westy. My Caseys came from Mr Worry Wart haha via our friend in the Dam but they are not sedlings anymore...2 weeks into flower.

Talk to ya, enjoy your weekend : !)

 

[Bobotrank]

Hey thanks HC brother. If my ladies are looking half as good as yours, I'm on the right track! Hope you're all well, and havin' a warm sunday at home w/ a cuppa

Yes, these were clones, and I've smoked a fair amount of Cheese. It's one of my favorites that I'd been picking up at the club for quite some time. Course, I don't know if what I was puffin' was BBC or some other Cheese hybrid. They tend to rarely tell you the lineage of the genetics, but I've definitely found some clubs that are better than others for the cheeeeeeeeeeeese.

Heelers and Shepards are very close in breed. Similar markings (pibald, I'm told it's called), altho heelers have a shorter coat with a real fox like face. Ours is a total dingbat, and looks like he's part kangaroo. He's also 40 lbs and thinks he's a lapdog. Your pup looks quite a bit bigger from what I remember... like pushing a good 70 or 80 from the pics you posted quite awhile back. How's the fur ball doing, btw? Happy the snow has melted around his tree, I'm sure.

I can't remember what seedlings I was talking 'bout. I think they were the romulans, but now I'm drawing a blank. Hmf. Only one thing to do now. . .

Have yourself a great one, bro!

 

[Highlanders cave]

Ha ha, I had to chuckle...that's exactly what I'm doing Just came out onto the porch with a cuppa and a bong...and the sun is shining in lol. Very comy! Oh yeah, I was out of coffee this morning when I woke up. That's almost as bad as being out of weed.The animals have been out here all morning but I just finished some watering so,,,time to chillax for a little bit. Smoking some Qleaner, its tasty and potent. Never had the pleasure of trying a Cheese strain, maybe someday. I have 3 Livers (Northern Lights) x Cherry Cheese at 2 weeks of flower so I'm getting closer to some sort of cheese haha.

I am pretty insulated where I am as far as dif strains of weed. The locals have 3 strains they buy...indoor, outdoor and hydro lol. My stuff is always a couple of notches above that stuff so I generally don't touch what they buy. The U kids are a bit more into name strains and good quality and that's where my stuff goes.

When I was looking at shepards a few years back, I checked out some Australian Shepards pups. Both parents were on site and I didn't care for the male. I ended up getting a half breed, he's half black Shepard and scary smart lol. And your right, pretty big! Very tall and 85lbs.

You have a good sunday too Brobo!

 

[Bobotrank]

I'm excited to hear how you like the Livers. That sounds like a great strain... we used to get Northern Lights back in college and the smell was unreal, and anything crossed with the cheese sounds like a good mix to me. Hopefully Mr. West is able to sort something out of the GHS Exodus, too, so one of these days a 'real' cheese makes it across the pond you need to try it.

 

[Highlanders cave]

Yeah the guys over there have been talking about Livers for quite a while now, couple of years at least and I'm like...what the fuck is livers?!? Last month someone discovered that it is a NL pheno so I thought that was cool! Out of 3 plants, I think I have one that may be a different pheno than the other two so, we'll see which is better lol.

 

[Bobotrank]

Now I'm really intrigued. Once they're really bangin' you'll have to post some pix...

 

[Highlanders cave]

Definately!!! Come to think of it, I'm over due posting some bud porn lol. DST just posted some real nice shots! Went for a little walk with my dog, beautiful day albeit chilly...upper 30's. Meant to ask...what do you like about the cheese so much? Or more precisely what does everyone like about cheese strains. It's a Skunk pheno if I'm not mistaken

 

[Bobotrank]

Yeah, you're right about the pheno. The smell is just something else. The earthy pungent everyone talks about is right on. Not to mention I don't think it has much of a high ceiling, so you can just keep smoking it and smoking it and you get higher and higher lol... it's quite narcotic. I'll probably do another round of it and then switch over to Sagamartha's Bubbleberry or something of the like. Altho I've got some great ufo freebies I've been sitting on, too... dj short blueberry is one I've been itching to crack.

Weather is cold and rainy here, which makes staying inside and drinking tea sound ggggggreat pjs all day.

What's your fav strain at the moment?

That sounds good in the odor dept. I don't care for growing skunky smelling weed, and you can imagine why. I think the livers is supposed to be a real stinker though. If I have to upgrade to a better odor control system then I will, no big deal lol. My fav out my strains is the Ice, which is NL x Afgani x Skunk x Shiva. Not sure which pheno I got but its a good one. Had 3 to chose from and the cut I kept had the most chrystals, the best smell (it's nicknamed fruity pebbles), high calyx to leaf ratio, short flowering 7wks+- depending on how you like your trics and the most potent. I have had the cut for a couple of yrs and have 1 girl in the flower room about two weeks along. I know seasoned smokers that shy away sometimes because of the potency but I find it invigorating lol. My BB cut is my second favorite and subcools lemon Qleaner (sativa pheno) prolly my third. I do have about a half dozen heavy hitting new strains in veg and flower now though lol

 

[Bobotrank]

So funny you mention the smell... I'm just looking for an ozone solution to my grow as we speak. I think part of my problem is due to leaks in my inline fan... I duct taped most of them, but I get the feeling it's still not all sealed, and I can't afford to address the problem until this round is done-- otherwise I'd really have some smell on my hands. Maybe my carbon filter is slightly shot, too...

That ICE sounds amazing. I'd never shy away from that lol and BB -- how can you not love it? Your BB's looked especially colorful in all aspects, HC. I'll be taking a gamble w/ the one fem seed I have, but I see it as more of a test run to see if I want to search out a keeper pheno. Qleaner is one I know very little about, but it sounds intriguing... I'll have to do a little internet scour here and find out more. . .

 

[las fingerez]

one word CHEEEEEEEEESE

hahaha just been smoking on a very nice pheno of blue cheese crossed from an exodus mother i've got a little breeding project just about to start, continuing someones work with backcrossing the UK Exodus 2 times already. i'm about to try a 3rd after selecting a good male (if i've got one lol), i also want to run the male across my blue cheese cut which as mentioned is pretty good, cheesey with a nice touch of blueberry.

with a bit of luck i will be getting the Exodus cut fairly soon me and my mate have got a couple of sources between us

 

[Bobotrank]

That sounds delicious fingerez. I love both of those strains One of these days I need to get my ass to England and try the real cheese. Too bad it'd be too hard to ever bring one over here, tho... I sometimes think of the possibilities... We'd either need a boat, or a submarine. Shit. I ain't got either lol

 

[Highlanders cave]

Gotta love fed ex guys...at least in the states. I wonder if they are world wide too, someone must do that. Got some clones that are almost ready to ship. I need to get some Ice clones going eh brobo ; !)

 

[Bobotrank]

Yeah HC! ICE ICE ICE I never even thought of FedExing them, but it makes so much sense. They do it with other plants all the time, and they arrive just fine. I like your style

Back in my college days when I was much ballsier, and before 9.11, I was going to school in Colorado. I'd just gotten my script out here, and picked up a couple clones over the holiday break (I still remember-- White Widow x Dutch Skunk). Eager to get them back to CO with me, I made two small boxes, just barely large enough to house the cuttings. Wearing baggy cargo pants, I stuffed one in each pocket, held my breath-- and made it through security just fine. From there I went into the bathroom, where I had another box (larger, of course), and I put the cuts in there for the plane ride. I walked casually through the airport as though I was just carrying another Christmas gift that couldn't fit in my backpack. On the plane they were safely stowed under the seat in front of me The look on my friend's face when he picked me up at the airport was one of total awe. He couldn't believe I did it, and frankly, neither could I. Another friend ended up growing those plants out for me-- and they were amazing. He also pollinated a couple branches with some BLUEBERRRRRRYYYYY, but I never saw the seeds. I still think about them, tho!

I'm off, fellas. This week is the week from hell-- in a good way. Lotsa work, but lotsa work.

 

[Bobotrank]

Gonna do a picture update later, but need to run and get some epsom salts, first. Seems the organic Ca/Mg I'm using every watering just isn't cutting it, and each of my plants has dropped a couple sub canopy leaves. Or I should say a few more. These guys are clearly Mg monsters, and although the deficiency doesn't seem extreme, I don't want to let it get extreme. I'm also wondering about how efficient I really am by using unfiltered tap water with organic nutes. I'm not doing anything to get the chlorine out, and I was just reading up that I could be seriously fooking myself. Oh, good times. Looks like I've learned some more new shtick lol...

Oh, and whaddya guys think-- foliar spray w/ the epsom (I read this works well in a fix), or should I just mix it with my nutes? I'm almost at the end of my 6th week, and I'm hesitant to spray water on my buds... or near them. Thnx.

 

[Highlanders cave]

Yeah post some pics of the leaves brobo, I would be interested to see what they look like. My Ice usually has a cal/mag defeciancy and it's harder than hell to get around it. This is what I have found to help but does not totally solve the problem...adding a couple of tsp of dolmatic lime to every gal of soil, adding steamed bone meal (very high in calcium) and ph my water to the high 6s

Catch ya later Bro
