HashyApache's Kind Green North

Unfortunately I did not really get much of any good pictures of the other strains I have running. I was busy with the dozens of transplants I had to do on my one day off this week, so I was a bit strapped for time, but next week I will pull some individuals to the side to photo document them as a reference point before they get too heavily developed.
For the time being, I will give you guys my quick lil write up for the remaining strains, and whatever crappy shots I may have taken of them!
Blulight is..... kind of strange... Some of them are growing into beautiful bushy specimens loaded with prime flower sites, and others are growing into the most unique Sativa dom plants with a structure that I can honestly say I have only seen once before in my 11 years growing. The plants stretch upwards at an extremely fast rate, and while it is loaded with branches and bud sites, the branches never really reach outward... While the branching structure may be less than prime on a few of the Blulight, more than a few are already getting loaded with resin as soon as week one into flower, and are already beginning to smell extremely strongly of blueberries. Really excited about this gal.

These are a couple of the odd branching phenotypes. I know its hard to really see because you can't really tell one plant from another, but take my word for it, it is pretty funny looking.

As the growth structure would suggest, the flowers are also looking quite sativa dominant.

Again, I know how hard it is to differentiate from one plant to another in these pictures, but here is a sample of some of the branchier girls in the batch. I have a feeling that one of these will be the keeper. I think that this phenotype has some real XXL potential.

The white widow polyhybrid that we have growing showed sex a little while ago, but STILL has not really triggered fully into flowering. Really hoping that she just has an extensive veg period and gets her ass together here in the next week, if not, we're going to have a biiiiig photoperiod grow going side by side with these gal's. That would toooootallly throw my plans for a loop, but if that was the worst thing that happened this run, then I have nothing to be mad at. Still holding out hope, because I LOVE her structure. If they all went into flowering now, I'd be looking at a bunch of heavy producers.

(widow hybrids up front, Blulight's in the background. How's that for opposite growth structures?!)

Last but certainly not least I have quite a few of the Mazar polyhybrids running, and they seem to have a bunch of genetic variation present. The M8 line of genetics has been all killed off except for a few select females, and will not be used for breeding, simply because of the rate of hermaphrodite tendencies and mutations across the line. I guess the M8 mother I used for breeding was not as good of a candidate I once thought, oh well.... on to the next one!
The M9 line of genetics however has been preforming above and beyond all of my expectations. Things are expressing much better stability, and while there is a bit of genetic variation to play with, things appear to be much more uniform, and all of my ladies appear to be male flower free! (ahhh the joys of breeding fem's with reg's.....) The Mazars are growing into very large, extremely branchy Christmas trees with a serious production potential. It's still a little early to judge how the flowers will set up, but I can say that I LOVE her structure. 16 of these girls in 3 gallon pots could hardly fit in a 4x4 area. I'd be really tempted to try and run 9 in 5 gallon pots per thousand, but things would very well get out of hand..... and quick. It's a jungle out there! (I didnt really get much in the way of mazar shots for whatever reason, but I'll be sure to take some time to take some glamor shots later in the week!)

One thing that I figured I'd showcase to all of you heads...... I've popped THOUSANDS of beans in my growing career, and never once in my life have I seen this.... You know how I mentioned the M8 line of Mazars showing various mutations? Well this was one.... Generally I toss mutants, but not this one.... I present you a variegated Mazar! (Pic taken last week, I'll update it as she progresses!)

Anybody ever see this? The leaves are completely healthy but 100% lacking any pigment in full sections of the leaf, much like a Hosta plant. She showed sex a couple of days ago and was replanted in a [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] pot. Very interested to see how this little lady progresses! Will the variegation come through in the flowers as well? I'm not sure, but I cant wait to find out!
Happy hump day grow bro's!

@Wairawould be the one whos seen the freaks. A verigated plant is too cool

But i just think the Blulight is fuckin amazing!

Yeah dude I've been playing this game for a minute now, and it was definitely the first time I had seen that. Sometimes those strange little mutants end up being something interesting, so we'll keep her around here for the long haul and see what she wants to do for us!
Thank you so much dudeski! I too am really excited to see what she looks like in a few weeks. Some of the phenotypes we have running now are already getting CAKED with resin at only 10 days into flower and the smells are absolutely to die for. Can't imagine what she will look like further along. I'm ready for some blueberry candy!

On a separate note, just looked at the calendar trying to figure out how old my ladies were, and I came to the conclusion that plants are going on week 6 from sprout, just hit the 40 day mark today. This really isn't of any significance, but I figured I'd record that in here for my own record keeping.

Things are currently looking good in the room. Still convinced (Especially now knowing that 40 days have passed since sprout) that the WW x HLK's are going to be early photoperiods. Too much time has passed since they showed sex without a true onset of flower for these girls to be autoflowers I'm afraid to say. Going to cut a clone from the top of each female, throw them in my other room under a 1000 watt sodium, a Black dog 200, and a 315 LEC, set up my scrog net and go to work.... It definitely messes up my overall grow schedule for certain, but you have to be resourceful and roll with the punches as to not waste a second of precious time. Hoping to find a killer, fast finishing phenotype to run outdoors next season. Even if they are not true auto's I will continue to post updates on those girls in this journal.

As for the rest of the grow, things are looking great. Still letting the supersoil do its job, watering only with microbes [sea green, Mammoth P] and a touch of Herculean Harvest (Liquid bone meal) as a calcium /phos source, but more so as an organic PH down.
This weekend I will be feeding a very basic compost tea with freshly juiced Aloe vera (on sunday), and giving them their first real feeding of the Nectar for the Gods line when they need water again on Tuesday. Let the blossoms explode!
 
What ratio do you use with the aloe? I use the stuff on my skin all the time. I didn't realize that the herculean harvest was liquid bone meal.

I enjoy watching and learning. Hopefully that one will turn out well to run outdoors. I only get to dream about doing that, doesn't work well in an urban area...

@Dudeski For the aloe, I do things pretty generously, as I grow LOTS of aloe around the house, but a little bit goes very long way. I personally have always taken a single blade or leaf of fresh aloe, thrown it in the blender with 1L of water and blend it into a nice little slurry. I see a lot of guys then sift out the plant material so that only the raw juice remains, but I have always left it in suspension as food for the microbes in my soil. Once I make my solution I generally would dilute it once more by using ~100 ml per gallon of water/feed, but you could get away with using it at 1/2 or even 1/4 that rate with noted success.
Honestly, anybody who grows cannabis should very well be growing a few aloe plants as house plants. They are absolutely priceless tools to have in your garden. Need rooting hormone? Boom, stick em' in Aloe! Need something that's going to make your vegging plants absolutely puke out roots? You guessed it, Aloe. Need a good wetting agent for your waterings? Look no further than Aloe. Looking for an organic way to boost a plants resistance to pests and diseases? Aloe does that. Most importantly, you looking for a way to turn your plants into the most resinous plants you've ever grown? Aloe aloe aloe.
Aloe vera is an incredible source of Sapponins and Salicilic acid, one of 3 different ways to enact a Systemic Autoimmune Response [AKA Systemic acquired resistance] (SAR) in your plants. The other two routes are through Chitosin found in crustacean shells (Crab, lobster, shrimp) and through the hormones found in the roots of the Giant Japanese Knotweed. Introduce all three of these into your garden, and see how your plants react. Be sure to provide yourself with a change of pants....
How does it work? When you water your plants with aloe, the plant mistakes the Salicilic acid for being a predator attacking the plant at the roots. What does the plant do to protect itself from this potential would be attacker? The plant produces roots at hyper speed to ensure a healthy root system in case the roots being "attacked" are damaged by this would be pathogen. On the outside (most importantly) the plant attempts to protect itself from outside attack by putting up a generous defensive shield of resin, protecting its precious seed bearing flowers from bugs and fungus...... I know it sounds like some black magic witchcraft, but it works and works incredibly at that!

I didn't know aloe did anything. I've heard about crab and shrimp meals but aloe is new. This is why I love this forum. You can trip and fall into a well of knowledge just hanging around and watching others.

Hell yeah man! Aloe is my super not so secret in the garden. It just has so many incredible horticultural applications. Honestly that is where my scientific study has been geared to in the past few months, the use of different beneficial plant extracts to enhancement certain stages of growth in crop production, and arguably even more importantly so, the symbiotic relationship between cannabis and other plants in a true living organic (more specifically no-till) set up. There is so much information out there, and even more so different chemical/biological avenues just waiting to be explored and discovered. The next big break through in organic cannabis production is out there on the horizon, just waiting to be discovered. To me that is one of the coolest parts about this industry, it is ever growing, and there is still so much to learn.
Thanks for stopping by dude! I'm really glad you could pull something useful from my journal. I hope it helps you in the future!
 
Daym hashy, now i have to do a better job of growing my aloe. It doesn't like me!

You have given us all some serious information there, thank you. I have just started trying different amendments to soil, have some malted barly and alfalfa meal. I knew my dumbass should have gotten the crustacean as well.
