DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

DST said:

Funny, the guy from the garden centre just called me whilst I was in the middle of the latest fashion shoot with the girlies. Should be getting it delivered week 7 Will show all when in place.

So here we go with a small preview, an OG Kush, and a Casey Jones.

OGK

Headband bud

Casey Jones - starting to suck up it's leaves already!! Upping nutes me thinks.

Second Mango BOY!!!!

That pic^^^^reminds me of this pic that I took near Ben Nevis

The big baw'ed brute!!!



Well the results in, it's another bloody boy....just seem awash with bollox at the moment, perish the thought. So that goes in the spare room with the other until I can get some pollen of them, then I may impregnate one of the headband buds, bag stylee. I have 2 mango seeds left, not sure what to do with them now...3 down, 1 didn't crack, a 2 males, bah.

Here's the oval:
Nice and cosy looking, or as we say under the sea, Gezellig

Had a slight accident while making a Spanish omelette last night (although I was using sweet potatoe instead of normal spuds), I managed to pic up the pan that I had under the grill with the kitchen towel which wasn't fully covering my hand - OUCH

Good Q Westy, I ran an experiement with two of mine the past grow. Both in the same 1 gallon pots, both cloned at the same time, and one was topped, the other was left to do its thing normal styllee. They produced exactly the same weight to within a gram or so....I think because they grow relatively small that it doesn't really matter what you do with them, the growth seems to get spread out among the plant. SO personal preference I would say is the way forward. Each 1 galon plant produced an ounce

I use to listen to this all the time....but then I use to take lots of mushrooms and acid....brilliant

Okay, so feeding time at the zoo this morning. The pics today are deidicated to the New York 47 and the Blackjack. Both of which are looking really nice. Although they are not showing as much trichs as the Headbands, OGK's, or Caseys.....the New York 47 has got a real musky smell to the stem, unbelievable, reminds me of old school hash from Nepal. I am onto full BN Gron nutes now, 5ml per litre, and 0.75/l PK 13/14. It's full on go now, 3/4 weeks we should start seeing big changes.

So here's the Blackjack


And here's the New York47




So that's the Saturday update. Hope you enjoy. All the girls are fed and watered, the clones have been rinsed (as they do get daily) with the rhizotonic, I still have to chukc some away that I took from Louis. The New York47 clone is off, it's gonna be a big girl in 8 or 9 weeks....

Cheers peeps, peace,

Shit.... mine too westie. Damn cats jumped right up and started darting about the house. Kinda funny, although I don't know if my sleeping wife found it as amusing. lol.

beautiful blackjack plant. Do you know what blackjack is supposed to be... I mean sativa/indica. I've just never really known about that strain.

looking good dst. always a pleasure to see your updates.

Sorry about the cats guys....woops. And thanks for all the kind words.

Here's the blurb on the Blackjack, def loocks more indica, but as it say's if put in the ground it can grow to 3 metres!! Nice.

We have crossed-bred our Black domina with an exceptional Jack Herer of pleasing and intense aroma similar to the haze of cathedral incense, resulting on one of our most powerful and highly productive plant.
This variety produces long lateral branches plenty of abundant resinous buds giving the plant a sphere like form. This breed-crossing provides the plant a sweet aroma characteristic of black Domina that softens the deep incense aroma of our Jack.
It has the great vigour of a hybrid, totally adapted to indoor conditions. Planted outdoor in earth, with enough sun, becomes a resinous and hairy monster as high as 3 metres.


Growing method: Indoor / Outdoor.
Sex: Female
Genotype: Indica / Sativa Hibryd
Region: Holland.
Lineage: Jack Herer x Black Domina.
Indoor Maturation: 61-65 days
Outdoor Maturation: 1-15 October.
THC: 15-20%
Yield: 500-600 gr/m2 indoor. 500-700 gr/plant

I like jack herer, hmm reminds me of the dam in 98 lol

Funny, reminds me of Scotland, that's what me mates use to grow back in the 90's...It's one of those names now, everyone wants to sell something with Jack in it. Plus one fo the first I saw that was over 7 weeks back then as well. 10+ weeker

Just before I head out I thought I'd throw up todays pics of the Cali Oranges, since they have been kind off neglected of late. I also re-potted the NY47. So here's a few I pulled out to snap of the Cali O's











Peace out,

DST

Two questions... are the buds on the cali o real small compared to the other plants... or is that just me?

Other one... is that a trampoline hanging on the wall behind the plant? Just wondering if you do some sort of strange bouncing off walls, maybe just a storage solution... or a trick with angles and it's on the ground.

they look pretty good to me. no signs of neglect as far as i see.. my seedlings are doing fine as well.. i really wish i knew what i was growing so im trying hard to hold off on the order im just not sure what or how i wanna grow. how are liking vertical growth compared to horizontal?

They are a bit whispier at the moment, but I think that's just the style of plant, the blurb never said if they were late starters or not, but all came on after a few days (just a bit behind the others. And there's no contest with CJ and OGK, or the Headbands.

It's taking a bit to get use to, my design is not the greatest for maintenance issues either. The plants also look a bit cocked when you grow them (you will see in the Headbands I got going in the veg tent) But at the mmoent I think its awesome, I am basically utilising more space....

The HB's in veg, recently re-potted. Seemed to survive okay.

And the clones, the CJ's are looking good, the NY47 (tyhe biggest looking one) has just shot right up, happy with that, not sure about the OGK's got them a bit mixed up, not sure which ones to throw now! The Blackjack clone is also looking happy.

Clones:
Top3 - OGK
Next 2 - CJ
Next 5 - OGK (Bah), Blackjack, NY47, Barbagseedhead, OGK
Next 3 are OGK!



So getting late. Couple more posts then time for bed zebedy said

Peace, DST

Liking the fat indi leafs on the hb man, I took 6 clones today hope they root ive had shit luck lately. Does the hb clone ok?

They seems to be okay at cloning Westy. The clones grow even stouter if that makes any sense! This was the first time I went back to seed, all my other rounds with HB where from clones so you should be sweet bru. I was thinking of keeping one of these nice ladies as a Mom. But that NY47 is a strong lady for sure. I think her roots started popping as soon as it came out the rotting powder, lol.

Thats wot ya wont lol. Ive been using clonex for the last few years and its bin greeet for me but recently it seems to have changed colour and aint working as well.
