Here here! Update please! It's been about a month, should be some impressive results right around the corner if they aren't there already.

Thanks for jogging me back into posting Guys! I know it's been a while since my last post.... I've been getting cluster headaches upto 3x day and it's completely taken over my life. They're also called 'suicide headaches' and I can understand why.
This last month or two, I've had a SPECT full body scan, a full body MRI, a CT of my sinuses and an MRI of my brain..... I'm glowing in the dark, and I'm rattling away with all the medications they've given me. my GP is hopeless so I'm waiting on seeing a Neurologist.

If anyone out there has any experience with them, I'd love to hear from you.

Last time I posted it was day 50, I had just staked them out so that they were 120cm deep and 70cm wide to fill out the tent.

Here they are on day 68....

Monster hunt indeed! They must be liking the extra space.
They are indeed Bro!
I think that was a good move with only two girls. Ya really have 'em spread out quite nicely!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
I see Monsters In The Making!!!
Cheers WildBill!

Here's a closer look at the CM...
large.60a1130b59a52_day68CM2.JPG

Viewed from the side, you can see she goes right to the back of the tent....
large.60a1130472aae_day68CM1.JPG

She's got loads of fat sticky buds...

The BBK from the front....
large.60a111c883525_day68BBK2.JPG

Again, from overhead you can see she goes all the way back too...
large.60a111c0acba4_day68BBK1.JPG

Here's her main cola....

Very sticky gear, and as you can see from the next few shots.... some purple....

Cream Mandarine is supposed to be a 65 day finisher, and Blackberry Kush goes for 70 days, but it looks like these two will go for a couple more weeks.... I'll bring you up to date in the next post!
 
Day 79 - almost done
Moving on swiftly, day 79 as a group...
large.60a113567cc3b_day79group.JPG

Now both are way over their due dates, and are just about done.

The Cream Mandarine is full of big heavy buds....
large.60a11344c552d_day79CM1.JPG

...and those buds go all the way to the back of the tent....
large.60a1134829780_day79CM2.JPG

Nice fat colas....
large.60a1134d77ec5_day79CM3.JPG

All the trichomes are milky so she's on a final flush ready to chop in a few days.
large.60a1135140b83_day79CM4.JPG

Blackberry Kush is also nearly there....
large.60a1132aa573b_day79BBK1.JPG

The purple is really coming through making her look really dank

large.60a1134140494_day79BBK5.JPG

I'll start flushing her when I start chopping the CM, so that I can harvest her immediately afterwards.
 
Day 82 - CM ready to chop
Here we go then, Cream Mandarine XXL, out of the tent, ready to chop on day 82...
large.60a1135d84c2e_day82CM1.JPG

This is the first time I've seen her full width - 120cm.
From above, she's got some girth on her......
large.60a11362b1785_day82CM2.JPG

I'm gonna be up a few nights trimming that lot!

That means the Blackberry Kush has the tent to herself....
large.60a113682dc3a_day83BBK1.JPG

Although she's a good 120cm wide, she looks like she graciously made room for the CM to flourish. Now she has a couple of days to spread out before she gets the chop.
large.60a1136c6738c_day83BBK2.JPG

I'll let you know how things go once they're both down, thanks for looking in!
 
Killer update Teetee!!!!!!

I had those killer migraines way back when I was in Hawaii. It was a really stressful set of orders I drew. In my case we think it was diet related along with the stress that brought them on. The best the docs could guess, was that I had become sensitive to Sulfites in my diet. I changed my diet, eliminating the stress was not an option, and they slowly left. NEVER had anything like that before and it sure as hell humbled, at the time, this big ol' 6ft3in 280lb+ A-type personality guy! Never came back! Looking back, I sure could have used some good edibles, especially with the nausea. For me, the nausea was as bad as the pain. I almost never get nauseated and as an adult, I've maybe thrown up 5 or 6 times in my life, non-alcohol related.
Sure hope they find something easy to resolve your problem. I sure feel for ya!
 
I knew you'd be smashin the welters off that grow in the background my man :d5: :vibes: just fkn unreal.. as usual.. absolute top drawer growin :d5::worship: sorry to hear you havent been well.. hope u get sorted soon with neuro.. hope these girls dried and smoked will help ease your pain.. stay in touch brother.. sending all the good stuff right at ya :vibes::karmacloud::vibes::karmacloud::pighug:
 
Day 88 - Blackberry harvest and final weights
sorry it's been a long time since posting, still getting cluster headaches and it's taken over my life.
hope u get sorted soon with neuro..
I was expecting a full neurological assessment, all she did was give me meds to lower my blood pressure, but there's nothing wrong with my BP, so I'm fucked off at having to do that.
There's some new drug that's available, a once monthly self administered injection that has horrendous side effects, I've got the script but I'm having 2nd thoughts on that one at the moment.

ANYWAY......

Way back in mid May, I chopped the Cream Mandarine XXL on day 82, as per the last post.
6 days later, day 88 and the Blackberry Kush was ready too....
large.60d6f8334f0b7_day87BBK1.JPG

1.2m x 80cm wide and full of bud.
large.60d6f836d2032_day87BBK2.JPG

Pretty much the size of 2 regular plants.... hopefully there's some good weight on her!
large.60d6f839eeaf8_day87BBK3.JPG

Some nice long colas with plenty of bud in between, the nugs were compact and hard.
large.60d6f83dc5442_day87BBK4.JPG

A shit pic, but I was impressed at how purple she was.
large.60d6f842690ac_day87BBK5.JPG

You can see it better in this one from day 82....
large.60d6f9c987f0b_day83BBK3.JPG

I dried the buds from both BBK and CM in cardboard boxes for 10-14 days, it's a great time of year for it as the days are cooler (18-22°C) and hardly any rain, humidity in the 62% region!
Once dried, I jarred them with Bovedas, and left them in a cool dark place to cure.

Here's the numbers....

Cream Mandarine XXL 193.3g (6.8 Oz) dry
Blackberry Kush 230.5g (8.1 Oz) dry

Good haul all in all. My previous CM was 5.1 Oz and I did a BBK back in Dec 2017 and she was only 3.9 Oz.

I've been sampling the BBK this weekend, been curing for 20 days now, and already it's a very strong and delicious smoke that bears no resemblance to the last one I did. I figured she was a fussy strain and never bothered with her again, until now!

The seeds are the same, from a batch I bought in Apr 2016, early in my growing career, and I have 3 left, I think I'll be running those in the next few grows, cos it's a lovely bit of gear!

I might crack open the Cream Mandarine tonight and see what she's like - I'm sure I'll be happy with her too.

No more growing for a few weeks, there's an inspection in 2 weeks and we might be moving soon anyway.
I'm looking forward to some new Dutch Passion goodies next time, Lemon Kix, Banana Blaze and Cali Orange.... and almost certainly another BBK or maybe a Night Queen... choices, choices!!!
 
Another monster bro.. amazing work :d5: sorry to hear you still gettin the headaches and neuro.. fs.. what a let down!! Hope you get to the root of it at some stage brother.

Already lookin forward to you blowing up som DP gear again. Keep in touch bro :jointman::d5:
 
Grow 2. Day 2 Chronic, Jack Herer, BBK and Night Queen
OK so here we go again..... Teetee's back on the grow!

Bit of bad news first.... I lost my job because of the cluster headaches and had to find another job pronto.
I had a feeling it was gonna happen, so I managed to put some feelers out and jumped before I got pushed.
It meant a huge move some 5 hours up the coast, but the new job had offered to pay for our flights, removals and car transport, so we got very lucky, even more so now because where we used to live is now under lockdown, ha ha.

It was hard to find a place to rent that would be suitable to have a smoke without being rumbled, let alone to do a grow, but again we got lucky, and have a nice spot, about 500m from a beautiful unspoilt beach where loggerhead turtles come every year to lay their eggs and shit. Do I miss being in old Blighty???

The jars are getting a bit low, so I really had to get a grow on ASAP and have it done before the 3 monthly inspection.... so I planted some old seeds again, just to see what happens in this new environment.... it's a bit warmer and humid up here.

I planted one of each (all Autos as usual):
  • GHS seeds "Jack Herer"
  • The Joint Doctor "Chronic Ryder"
  • Dutch Passion "Night Queen"
  • Dutch Passion "Blackberry Kush"
The Jack Herer and Chronic are old beans I got as freebies back in Sept 2014.... 7 years old!! They were classics back in the day, and Dr Dre's '2001' is still in my top 5, but Autos have come a long way since then so I'm not expecting miracles.
The BBK is from the same Apr 2016 batch that I grew last grow, it was lovely gear, so why not do one again!
The Night Queen is from 2018, and I love the stuff so much, I try to grow one every run if I can.

They all finish at around 70 days (except the Chronic at 65 days) so we should be done by early October.... just before summer hits which is gonna be hot and wet.

I planted the seeds in Coco in Solo cups, watered with an EC 0.7 nute mix. Covered them in cling film, and left them in a warm box in the garage. A heat mat was set up as well cos of the cold concrete floor.

3 days later they all popped up, so I cut a hole in the box and let a Skyline 100 shine through....
large.61064c0f7fff2_Day1seedlingbox.JPG

I left them in the box for a couple of days while I set up the tent.

We have two garages, so I was able to set it all up in the bigger (cleaner) one, and then transferred it to the smaller (and grubbier) garage, after fumigating it to kill any massive spiders that might be lurking around.....
large.61064c18c3ff7_day3tent1.JPG

I'll have to get a board to cover the window more securely, and have the ducting running into holes cut into it, but that will do for now.

That's a 1.2m x1.2m wide tent, 2m high, but I'm seriously considering getting a bigger tent, perhaps a 3m x 1.40m wide one, and get a double harvest so I don't have to grow all year long.
I think the extreme summer heat and humidity will be a problem time, and having elderly nosy neighbours around will mean I will have to be extra stealthy..... doing 2 grows a year with a 3 month gap between each would be a lot safer than growing 365 days a year.

Here's the new babies at 3 days....
large.61064c11dc42c_day3group1.JPG

large.61064c14b42da_day3group2.JPG

... and here they are in their new home with just one Skyline 400 to get them going....
large.61064c1a99fe9_day3tent2.JPG

After taking this shot, it occurred to me I should keep on using the heat mat for a bit until I get them into 20L airpots sometime around the day 10-14 mark.

I haven't fed them since germination, I'll probably give them some nutes again in a few days.

Exciting times! A new grow in a new home, nosy neighbours all over the shop but I bought one of those Eufy cam systems which should keep them at bay. The fans are a bit loud but the sound of the ocean covers that nicely!

Thanks for joining me again, more monsters on the way!!!
