SG's 2008 Outdoor Purps and White Russian Breeding

Flushed with Molasses today. The buds are looking good. Here are a couple of pics of another project I have going ( Indoor ). Just some Northern Lights by Seedsman to play around with until I grow out my own strains this winter.

It's been a bit hotter lately. The 8 week mark for the remaining plants is coming up quick (7/21) and The only one that has any chance of being done by then is the White Russian. I will be flushing again tomorrow. The plants are getting 10+ hours a day of strong summer sun - you couldn't ask for better finishing weather.

And then there were three...

I have been inspecting the plants twice daily every day since I found the SnS with bugs all over it. Today I noticed that the OG Kush was getting really bad at the bottom with a combination of thrips and aphids with a ton of eggs on the bottom of a few leaves.

I chopped her down. To my surprise she was actually very close to ready. I probably would have chopped her on the 21st. I think her small size accounted for the lack of leaf loss up to this point. She was getting the same level of ferts as the bigger plants so her leaves lasted longer. At least that's my theory.

I got about 10 good seeds during the manicure, I will wait until the bud is dried before I go rooting around the buds to pick out all the seeds. But they look good. I will be working with these WR x OGK seeds first this winter to begin crafting my own strain. I am excited!

The attached pics are right before the chop.

I was busy yesterday so I didn't have time to update or take pics. The Purps seems to be "catching up" to the rest of the plants in that it has matured quite a bit over the last week or two. The WR is definitely filling in and hardening up. She may be done at the 8 week mark ( Monday ). The little Bubba Kush is moving along very slow even though she is going to be out of leaves in another week.

Have a great weekend

Watered heavy today. The WR is pretty much done, and looks fantastic. I only topped one of these WRs this year, I may top them all next time. The yield should be great. The Purps is getting there, but will need at least 9 weeks to finish I am guessing. The little Bubba Kush is the next target of the bugs that run wild this year. She has another week or two to go, but I may have to chop her before all the buds get ruined by bugs. ( I do not smoke buds that are covered in dead bugs, and I would never sell them to anyone ) so I'll just keep an eye on her.

I will give the Purps another week or even two if needed as long as the bugs remain at bay. The WR is pretty much DONE, but I will give her another 3-7 days.

I sampled some of the OG Kush I have drying. It hasn't even hit the curing jars yet and I can tell it's the best smoke I have ever grown, and probably some of the best I have ever smoked. Period. The taste is superb, and it is VERY strong with an extremely Psychedelic high. Now I REALLY can't wait to grow out those F1s .

I chopped down the WR today. I took a couple of pics of the buds on the trays. My guess on the yield of this one is just over an ounce.I am going to let the Bubba Kush go a bit longer as the bug issues are not getting worse. Monday 7/28 is the 9 week mark for the last two plants and they will probably both be cut down then.

dude you are growing the dank. i like people like you. we need more people like you around to grow such beautiful plants with such care. nice work

No water today. Flushing tomorrow with molasses. More updates coming today.

Shame




There are only a few days left of my journal. Post if you want to. I give up.

I decided to wait one more day before watering again because the soil had not dried out much. The Bubba Kush's bug problems are starting to be an issue so I am cutting her down tomorrow ( 7/27 ).


Shame

where ya been bro?
harvested and dried by now?

are u doing time... becuz of your WR?

Nice Journal!

I've been growin Hydro since 2003, This journal has reinforced that decision! My plants grow faster and bigger and I've NEVER seen a bug in my grow rooms.

Not that I'm tryin to critise you undersatnd... It just seems like a lot of work for a comparatively small yield.

Good luck man.
