Photoperiod Slaters Hot Budzz

[Slater]

Haha, I'd forgotten about slate. God knows what was in soapbar but I remember the plastic, can't have done us any good...
My first green was White Widow, blew me away and probably why I love it to this day. Smoked a doob and got on the Glasgow underground only for the train to break down, heavy but funny

The good old soap bar, got a dirty story from a good scouser mate of mine. This was in the 90s.
They would get huge imports from Morocco and such coming in at Liverpool docks. The gangs would then take the shipment to a warehouse where they would proceed to smash the hash up, plastic wrapping and all. They would them make mixture of tea leaves and wood glue mix it in a and reform the hash. Voilà, soap bar.

Ahh the good old 90's, gadz... I suppose that's what happens when money is involved. I have heard they would shoot plastic pellets into blocks of hash to increase the weight, unconfirmed so it could just be urban style myth but nothing would surprise me.

Dropping some bud porn until the next update.

This is Sour G, I found her in pheno hunt looking for my own GG4. I bought a 12 pack of gg4 bx1 from Dark Horse gentics and 6 pack from the GG4 company it self.
I grew out 7 of the dark horse, found some nice phenos (grape/black berry turps if I remember rightly) but nothing that made want to keep one. I was little nieve in my pheno hunting back then. To say the least I was a little disappointed, I so wanted my own GG4 after hearing all the hype in the UK. Plus these seeds
had cost me a small fortune.
Fast forward a year or so and I decide to go hunting again. I popped the remaining Dark Horse and the 6 original GG4's.
Now I hit glu on this run, there's no mistaking Gorilla Glue once you see it growing. It has it's own distinctive turp profile and it's bud structure is easily recognisable. The 6 phenotypes from the GG4 company all looked like each other and near clones of the original GG4. They had only slight differences between them. All super frosty and very oily. Tricky to chose between them all.
Out of the remaining Dark Horse I think 2 or 3 popped but only one made it to flower.
And that was the now infamous Sour G.
She stood out like sore thumb in the room. Super frosty, chunky dense nugs, good yeilder but what stood out the most was her turps. It so won the day. How to describe it... Rotten Sour creamy custard with a touch of vanilla. It's very distinctive nothing I've grown before and after comes close to its turps. I now what sour turps are and the hype they cause across the pond.
To top it off she is one powerful lady, the strongest I've smoked to date. No toking on this in the day, instance anxiety attack if your not careful. I've had to take my self home on more than one occasion when walking the dog. No wake and bake warning, unless your at a festival but you better be a professional.
I've started breeding with her with intentions of making her my first strain. I so want to share these turps with everyone.

There's many a dirty trick I've heard of over the years.
Most of the time I believe the plastic was probably added at sorce, most probably Morocco seen as they are not a traditional hash making culture. They probably knew brits would buy any old shit back in the day. And probably kept the high grade to them selves.

You perfected the art of making hash. Please share as I would love to learn an easy way.

Thanks ………Jackson

No worries @Jackson soon as I can I will. I'm chopping this weekend and as long as we don't get a heat wave in about 2 weeks I will do a trim run.

Hey everyone and welcome to my grow. Please come on in, pull a chair up, make your self comfortable and watch the garden grow.

A bit about my self, I used to grow in a 3x3 tent for my self. All Autoflowers, that's why I ended up on AFN in 2016, needed to know how to grow. AFN didn't disappoint and got me through my first grow with huge success. Thank you AFN.
As usual life throws you a curve ball all the time, by my third grow a very close friend had developed breast cancer so I upped my game for her. Added another 3 tents, started photo periods along side my autos and got hot into making concentrates and hash for her. Basically my grow became a care giver project for who needed it. So far I've got two friends through chemo and out the other side. Plus I've made last days of some terminally ill bare able and painless. It feels good to help.

But now I have to think of myself and focus on what makes me happy (I've been in a dark place of recent) and that growing this wondrously plant and sharing any knowledge I obtain along the way.
So let's get this grow thread under way.

I've moved house since my departure from AFN two years ago and had full permission from the misses to kit the loft out.

This is the main flower roomView attachment 1476109
On the left is a 5x4 space and on the right is rolling 4x4 tray, just roll it to the right to get in and start working.
I like to scrog the lady's, it's the only way to deal with the stretch seen as I'm vertically challenged in that space.
It's a run to waste system, coco, compost tea once a week, Remo nutes.
There is one organic grow up the back with my home made super soil.

The veg roomView attachment 1476113
The main growing area is about 6x4, I've got the trays on wheels so it's easy to move everything about. What you see here is the next round (Birthday Cake and Macloud) and my mothers. Sorry no autos yet but I will soon rectify that. Got some Menphisto in the stable ready to go.
Again coco, run to waste, Remo nutes.

This is RnD

It's a 3x2 flood and drain set up. I can fit 14 plants in one go along as I don't veg for to long. For this run I'm hunting a male for this years breed run. These are heirloom seeds by Afghan selection, the real mazar.
I will be keeping the best lady but the focus is on getting male. We should be seeing some wonderful colours, according to the spill there are common red and black phenotypes that pop up with a selection of fruity citrus flavours. Seen as they are heirloom seeds I'm hoping for a wider cannabinoid profile. I'm not looking for silly high thc numbers.

Sorry the breed / hash making chamber is a mess so no pics just yet. The males from RnD will be in there very soon for selection. Pics will come then.

Breeding.
So last year for shits and giggles I decided to do a seed run, mainly to preserve my gentics. I chose a Highlander male (ocean grown seeds, Witches Brew x Vader OG) and crossed it with Mac, GMO (original clone), SourG (gg4 bx1 pheno), King Louie XIII and a cut I named Lemon Chello (seed stockers, maple sherbert x skunk pre 89). So far I've only grown out the Mac cross. Which I think went rather well, if I had bought the seeds I would have been very happy. 9 lady's out of 10.
Here are some pics of my fave phenos. I've kept the top one for a mono run.

So that's where Slaters garden is at, there's always lots going on and plenty to share.
It's good yo be back on AFN.

Looks amazing. Great job. It's awesome that you are helping others in need.

It does feel good to help especially when you see the results. Both my very close freinds said that it was my input that got them through. They both believed in the medicine but the relief cannibis bought was how they coped and got through the procedures.

Thank you and looking forward to it @Slater

Gg4 is easily my all time favorite. I almost bought a pack of those GG S1, but I bought a pack of Tony Greens Tortured beans GG4 Bx6 its supposed to be the closest thing to the real Josey Wales cut. O haven't popped any yet. As they are Photoperiod Regs. And I am running autos. Damn pack cost 200.00$ American but it was a bogo so I got 40 beans to find a keeper from.
