Photoperiod RivetGrrl's Photosensitive Adventures

Great looking plants. I hope you get your issues figured out. I know they suck

:thanks:
I thought the two spotted spider mites were bad enough, got rid of those (knock on wood), now pythium seems to be hanging around with low res temps, more oxygen and enzymes. Oh well, I'll keep working at it and figure it out. I'll just harass Waira if I can't :crying:
 
Thanks! And for the rep as well :toke:
It's pretty random, since there's not much for "start and finish" it just goes on and on, and has been for awhile now so I thought I'd just run with it. I started a thread about the Blueberry grow but I'm not sure those plants will make it with the root rot so no updates. I gotta do a big cleanup once my SD3xF99 is harvested to nix the root rot then it will be off and running. I got pics to post here too I should update.
I also know, especially from the auto thread I just started, that the photo's aren't as popular (It's an auto forum, duh, I know :biggrin:), but hey, there's some interesting things in here and I can look back at it in time :greenthumb:I really love photos; I'll see what the auto's are like to grow but I've been running photos for awhile and I love that I can clone, experiment, what have you with them.

Randomness is always the best! Photo's are what brought most of us to smoke weed to begin with, plus with their interesting dark requirements that would make them more tricky to grow I would think, at least nail the atmospheric conditions, indoors especially. Auto's are a matter of convenience mostly, in my situation. Photo's I have only grown outside, besides vegging a few indoors. There are a ton of interesting genetics out there for both photo and auto, but all my favorites aren't in auto, so I have some plans to do some pollination and from what I understand I need lots of photo seeds and a good pollen plan. Cloning sounds interesting and not too complicated, would definitely love to dabble in that eventually as well. :smoking:
 
Hey Waira, sorry to thread jack for a minute Rivet, do you know how to track down some of those C99 autos that Stickman made? Love me some Cinderella anything, just curious if they are floating around still? Thanks in advance.

I hear you, and they have gone up in price some, but nothing out of line with the industry,... I think they are at a tough size in their company right now, a huge load of work and very few folks to help... Seriously, in Spain where the farm is, it's like 4-5 people, two of those the main breeders/owners,.. recently they had to form affiliate distributors in Canada and USA to help deal with demands in shipping! If you want to try less $$ seeds of theirs, go for the Illuminauto's, crosses of crosses that they make when see something so juicy they have make them knock boots- :rofl:.. very limited, unlikely to made again, though some have had such great feedback they became Artisanals or Limited Editions... Also, the overcount everything, order 3 and get 4-5, 5 packs are usually 7's, plus freebies, and not crappy stuff, same prime strains or limited crosses! I know it looks $$ at first, but I find that by the time you get your order and count seeds, it's a very goof value indeed! We have discount codes as well for AFN'ers,... So save some $$ for 4/20 in any case, they have unbeatable deals then :thumbsup:
Speaking of Stickman, he may also have a very good C99a repro'ed from the old HighRise stock.. HR is long gone now, but they made some fantastic stuff, all geared toward fast finishing for northern climes,... he made a handful of auto cross with C99, and all were ahead of their time for quality IMO! The GHzxC99 is still one of the most potent auto's I have ever had :dizzy:....
Hmm, only the breeder knows how to decode that label,... Sour D' is so blown up anymore, it's hard to find the true original, so many cuts, pheno's, back crosses these days,... A local homie has a super nice cut of it, couldn't believe it was a SD, but he says it's an older cut,... really skunky (might be a clue to truer origins there), mild fuelly notes, nice floral,.... I'ma go back for a swap on that! .... Well, if you wanted to save her, only recourse is reveg'ing, a PITA but if she's super good, no more seeds, then it might be worth it,...
I've had a couple strains that were oddly late trich' producers,... This version of Lambsbread a local friend gave me was one... I was literally worried about it at first, they were so late in forming-- all 4 of them, in one pot! :doh: The plan was to plant 4 in a bigger pot, wait for sexing and just cut out males and transplant to another pot size,... well, they took their sweet time in showing sex and by then, all 4 were girls :rofl:... it was a bit of a struggle during bloom, I fed them as much as I dared, but they ate fans like crazy anyway,... the colors came on, and they were just amazing!... they finished face-first, but all turned out great...


One did a weird self-topping, hence the shortie in there,... lovely buzz, very happy-uppy, pleasant, zero rush/jitters just like Lamby should be... they had the most greasy resin I've ever seen too, almost no stickiness, rolling joint with it was kinda difficult! But sooo smoooth,... :drool: piney sour citrus dominated,...

what, you don't like hairy chicks?! :crying: That's a Humboldt Honey there! .... she looks stellar RG, no kidding on the fan trich's....geez, they're almost fuzzy with them- :greenthumb:buds look prime too!
 
Time for some updates in here, since my last post the pythium got bad so I posted in the infirmary and got some great advice. I’ll be making Heisenberg tea, the Myco-Grow below is one of the ingredients but I also added it alone to my reservoirs to jump start things. So far things look good and I’ll be brewing the tea tomorrow or Monday when I pick up the worm crap :smoking:
First up is my SD3xF99 going crazy but not quite there. Huge calyxes on this girl that you can see the pistils bursting from. She still has a lot of creamy pistils, and more important trichomes are still not quite there, quite a bit of clear still in them. At 73 days flower she’s taking her time!

My mods to the Water Farms are paying off, the roots are going nuts and super healthy as they are separate from the main system vegging in another tent. This pic is from Wednesday and I need to take another, already it looks like the net pot is going to split. I added the Myco last night and I swear I see a difference although I'm sure it will take a few days in reality.

Here’s the gal the roots above belong too, maybe this is why my baby auto looks so small in the same tent? She needs to be in the flower tent soon as the stretch will be crazy. But I’m kinda a masochist and I want to see her go insane. I also need to harvest a plant this weekend to make room. She has to stay separate until all plants are harvested and the main system is cleaned and set up again so I may have no choice but to let her go longer. Damn that other sativa is taking forever. She’s being trained horizontal and is going great but she’s about two feet square in size now and will probably be 80 days in flower. In the back completely hidden is a Bubblicious doing well and a Biker Kush I gambled was a gal but has balls now so he’s getting moved soon and I’ll harvest the pollen.

Yay it’s fungi!, :smoking:

Here’s the fun brew I made, alone as I have no Fun Guy to help me. Ha, I'm actually pretty amusing in real life. Honest. It's why I garden alone :funny:
So it's just the stuff above foaming and smelling funky but good. The water is grey now but the plants are loving it. At least I believe they are but the roots were starting to recover from my previous treatment and this is just continuing the good stuff I’m hoping!

Last pic taken tonight of the Moonshine Haze above, growing every day. The longer I leave her, guess it means I have less plants in the flower tent but I’m really curious about how big she will get in flower. And the number of bud sites from the LST has me drooling. Thanks for stopping in and having a look! :pass:

Wow, i wish i had such setup to grow, all looks in perfect shape in your gardens.

Thank you Mongol, it's been a work in progress over time and I'm always changing things around and adding or taking stuff away :toke:

You may have to DM him, he'll drop by here eventually I'm sure if you're not in a huge hurry :toke:
