Photoperiod Odds and sods

@Waira

I'm back AGAIN, properly this time . Out the blocks a bit early my last attempt, blew my pipe out much earlier than expected.

Got some stuff here you might like to see

Also got the outdoor garden up and running, it's in my sig

How's life been treating ya?

Halfway throught week 9. Deep Sweet Grapefruit, King Willie Bx1 all coming down this week, I'll post some harvest pics as they are cut down.

Here's my Ace trio. Bangi Haze is nearly done, Hash Plant Haze and C5 Haze will take a couple of weeks longer.
Bangi Haze, lovely Lemon scent, such a stable plant, you know EXACTLY what you get, everytime, very little variation in the phenotypes

C5 Haze. Really fruity version this time, Cherry drops, or red shoelace candy. Starting to plump up a little now

Hash Plant Haze. MASSIVE flowers, the width of a coke can, typical Ace Seeds. Dripping in sticky resin. Not the stinkiest plant, but then Hash Plant Haze never is, at least, I've never had a mad stinky one yet.

A little joke for ya

Man goes into his local butcher, asks the owner how business is. "Not good" says the butcher, "I had to sack my assistant, he kept putting his dick in the bacon slicer" "What happened to your bacon slicer" asks the man, "I sacked her as well" says the butcher



Have a nice Monday

Ribbz mate, great to see you about again! ...geezus, what an operation odyssey this has been, I can't believe it's still not sorted yet... It'd have been cheaper to get bionic parts & service at this point!
... continued Fix-It Karma beaming your way

Meantime, you're still putting out quite the spread for us to eye-hump over!

All lovely glistening beauties mate, the buds look really nicely formed... ...New lights?
As always a nice selection of cultivars including some ACE staples!
I've considered BangiHz a few times, but she seems to get bumped in favor of other things ...but she has the speed and Goods for outdoors here, plus endorsements like yours push into the light as well...
I hear you on the pheno variances with C5 and HPHz, echoed by others I know... BHz has been around a good while now, seems for most my ACE heads she's beloved but back o' the pack these days... New exotics like that New Caledonia have stolen the light! A fine one that is too BTW,...

Oooo, SexBud!! That's a must repeat IMO for me, even that scraggly leaf mutie I had a few years ago made fine buds with that (indeed) exquisite apricot-peach aroma, it was uncanny really! Mine didn't get peachy until after cure, more of a dried fruit nuance, but live she was fresh apricot all the way!
The pineapple pheno, throw-back C99, WOW what the aroma blend must be like on her, hey?
Did you get to trying Skunk Special yet? Or Mimosa Champagne?

Dinafem, Sweet Deep Grapefruit, week 8 tomorrow, she's on the turn now, pistils receding, buds plumping up, smells really nice. Fruity, but no grapefruit

Hmm, also considered a while back, but after the decidedly iffy showing experience I've had with Dina', I passed on her,... This aroma thing in particular, 0/3 on that! The last straw was PAK, not only a manky-ass rot prone plant but the much touted pineapple aroma was MIA, pheno dice roll odds aside...
This girl sure looks juicy just the same, I hope she's good smoke!

And a few Hyp3rids, King Willie BX1. Really Uniform across the board, could almost be clones, I'm proper impressed. I recently grew out some Vietnam Black I was given as a freebie from Hyp3rids, that was stunning too, lovely Lime terps.

This one is a silvery beauty mate, and I dig the funky terp profile she's expressing! (bad teacher breath, what a disturbing description- ) ...I do hear good things about Hyp3rid's gear-

Finally, Franco's Lemon Cheese, from GREENHOUSE SEEDS. I never thought I'd grow anything from Arjan again, but this was strange circumstances. A mate has just started growing, ignored all my advice, and grew out some Franco's Lemon Cheese.

Some folks have all the luck! ... And I'd have wagered the same as you, but apparently this is a prime batch of seeds..?? She's making me drool, that lemony-dairy cheesy blend is so very enticing!

Ribbz, more tomorrow, I'm knackered and it's late, but I wanted to pop in and die a little looking at these hotties! I'll get going OD's here soon, tent is already going with auto's.... Det's forthcoming...

It's been a nightmare, a real hard slog. I do think the worst is over now, and it's just a clean up operation, a bit of 'debriding' some drilling here and there. But on a positive note, I train hard everyday now, as part of the rehabilitation, and some extra bodyweight excercise, I'm in great shape now, best ever infact. I've learnt loads about my body, my mind, my limits, so every cloud and all that.

All lovely glistening beauties mate, the buds look really nicely formed... ...New lights?

No, same lighting regime, Mars Hydro SP250, and Grow Light Science 300. I've stopped using tap water, and use fish tank water change water, plus loads of goodies everytime I clean the filter, they seem to love it.

I've considered BangiHz a few times, but she seems to get bumped in favor of other things ...but she has the speed and Goods for outdoors here, plus endorsements like yours push into the light as well...

She is a great plant. Love her. I think she's at F8 now? So there are rarely any black sheep popping up, really uniform. I haven't dropped any for my next run, but next time I run her, I want to reverse one, splash a bit of her/his polllen about, see what occurs (I took your advice, bought the chemicals to make STS)

RE DInafem and Greenhouse Seeds, I had space in the room, the King Willie were Regs, I got a couple more males than I was expecting, and I dropped a full 2 liter bottle and killed 2, so I raided the seed box, looked for something quick flowering and fem, the Dinafem was a freebie, been sitting there for YEARS, I was suprised it popped actually, and the Lemon Cheese was a gifted plant. Normally I wouldn't touch 'Arjans' work with a 10 foot pole, but again, surprised (I actually went mad and bought a packet of Strain Hunters White Strawberry Skunk, Eerdbeer is in the mix, buy 10 get 10 free over the pentecost weekend)

This one is a silvery beauty mate, and I dig the funky terp profile she's expressing! (bad teacher breath, what a disturbing description- ) ...I do hear good things about Hyp3rid's gear-

He is a top bloke too. I'm trying to tempt him here.

The Vietnam Black of his was a beauty. Lime on Lime, uncanny. Proper high to match.
I've just started some more of his gear, Shawa, and some Lightening Bolt. More on that to come

I'm gonna start a diary from scratch with them, I plan on reversing one of the Shawa, and making a repro

- hoooyyy, don't I know it... I blew my knee into smitherines years ago, and ended up doing a "scar (tissue)-ectomy" to get shit unbound and free moving again... help only a little, and after that it was determined that there's nothing but diminishing returns from there out! ...still sucks to this day, especially range of motion.
Good on the PT though! LOL

Fish poop water is GOLDEN! Hecno used his to excellent effect, and just the other week a company called FOOP engaged Hobbes to try their fish poop based nutrient line -

I picked up a new QB light recently, an HLG Diablo unit that an absolute blaster! I'm now fully QB in the auto tent, the other unit is from FTG, an Infinity board... Nice unit, shamed the AutoCOB's IMO, but it's whipped by this Diablo... it's about 60w stronger, but the output is out of proportion brighter! It's been running at 60% until now, upping it one more notch on the dimmer now that they are starting bloom...

LBH has a Bangi Hz cross I've also eyed, Bangi Fruit,... someday - ... might want to try ACE first though!

STS fun, I so wish I could indulge, but just don't have the grow scene to make that work. The fine folks at Twenty20Mendocino have a good tutorial for this... We also have a new company for this testing here now in the Live Vendors section-
Pollen can be stored for a good while too if done properly...

I don't know the scoop with GH Seeds/Arjan, but to date never heard a positive word about the lot really,... ... but I guess there's gotta be a little gold in the ol' mine mixed in with the slagg!
StrainHunters a similar story,... but that WSS does look enticing -

Yes! - that VB is very well thought of from what I'm seeing, a few online folks I know breed with it as well!

I'll be starting photo's soon, auto's going now....
- Strawberry Kush (our in-house indie breeder Jean-O, doing a damn fine job too BTW!)
- Orange Bubblegum (Twisted Tree, former Mephisto affiliate breeder)
- JackSummerLove (private); this is Jack H' x Love Potion auto

Photo's, a juicy mix this year!
- NevLime (Nev' Haze x New Lime), private breeder
- Eye Candy (A Cookies colab' cross repro'ed by the same guy who made the above)-
- Orange Push Pop (Seed Junkie); clone of an F4 worked here in Cali'!
- Trainwreck (T20Mendo); craving that cat pee pheno!
- Something Good (ditto)
- first try will be the rose-floral aroma photo cross made by Mephisto years ago; I tried several of them, this was the best hands down! Seeds are on the old side, but T20M Adam had all 6 germ for him so I have high hopes! Adam is going to try and save this cross as an S1 most likely...
If my 2 seeds fail, I'll run a custom FV from another private breeder, not sure which yet...

Hovering between the auto and photo runs, pending outcome, is a friend's F3 early auto work on a Punto Rojo auto, PR x C99a (HighRise's superior cross made a while back). Breeder said F3 is unlikely to auto, he didn't select for fast parents that round, but other folks are getting some auto's from it... If mine do, they stay in the tent; if not, they go live with the photo's at the site! ...we shall seeeee,..... :smoking:

It's like gold dust, and it's free They do a lot of crapping as well, my Daddy Frontosa is 35cm long, and shites like a horse, so the filter needs cleaning every 3 weeks, any excess goes on the garden, my tomatoes are going crazy this year

I'll be starting photo's soon, auto's going now....

That Strawberry Kush sounds interesting. I was looking for a nice strawberry strain, hense the StrainHunters Strawberry Skunk, I also picked up Sour Strawberry Diesel from Devils Harvest, hopefully there will be something in that lot. I always remember Mephistos Strawberry Nuggets, uncanny strawberry smell

STS fun, I so wish I could indulge, but just don't have the grow scene to make that work. The fine folks at Twenty20Mendocino have a good tutorial for this... We also have a new company for this testing here now in the Live Vendors section-

I got a fair few seeds from the last run I did. I had a Satori male, and an Amnesia Haze x Chocolate Rain male, So now have Saotri x Amnesia Rain, Amnesia Rain x Satori. I'll try my hand at STS this time

I'm going to reverse (or at least attempt) one Auto in the greenhouse, and 1 Shawa female, store any pollen leftover

I'll post everything up here I think

Chop day today, just shy of 10 weeks. Just the Ace ladies and 1 King Willie BX1 leftover.

Deep Sweet Grapefruit. Big heavy flowers
